So, I continued my mission to try and get my girlfriend into Game of Thrones last night. We watched the fourth and fifth episodes ("Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" and "The Wolf and The Lion")... and I'm happy to say she's most certainly enjoying it at this point. No fan of White Walkers and gratuitous violence, but she has a weakness for giant puppies and loveable/hateable characters.
Anywho, final scene of "The Wolf and The Lion" is the epic swordfight between Jaime and Ned, which is one of the best things ( at least in my opinion) that they did better than in the books. Then, Ned gets stabbed with a spear. She jumps up and goes "Oh my god, where did they just stab him?!" I said "Just the back of the leg". She gave a sigh of relief and replied, "Oh, okay... I was about to say, there's no way they're going to kill him off."
I... I wanted to laugh and/or cry. I felt absolutely fucking awful at that point, because not long after I've realized she's actually getting really and truly invested in the series, I then realize what I've truly done.
On the plus side, she expressed a strong desire to see Viserys die. Good news, my love, episode six is "A Golden Crown"... for king...

Please, she hates me trying to snap a picture of her... somehow, I think she'd avoid me for a week if I tried to film her.
Oh well, her shyness just means she'll never be a Youtube star.

Okay we're started! The goal is to try and get 7 castles in 10 rounds. You take areas by moving to them. If another player is already on it you have to fight them for it.
The more grain you have the more armies and the bigger e armies you are allowed to have.
Influence tokens are used to bid on position, pay to make a soldiers/boats, and use to hold. A piece of land without keeping a solider there.
If you have a ship in a sea between to land masses, you can have your men move to landmasses are next to that sea.

It was definitely name-dropped at some point... Presumably the prop is still sitting around somewhere, it was a pretty awesome sword
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
In the books didn't someone in Kings Landing nab it when Ned was in the cells?
In fact, it might have been Payne, the executioner.

I love me some named swords. I thought they'd make a little bit bigger deal out of it, mostly because

It was melted down into Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail, which were given to Jaime and Joffrey, respectively. Jaime passed his on to Brienne and Tommen inherited the sword from Joff.

Oh my god.
I have been rereading the series, not far into book two yet, and I had completely forgotten about that.
It's just a shame that Brienne might end up lopping Jaime's head off with it.
Seriously, fuck Catelyn forever.
All book spoilers:
Listen, I like to hate on Catelyn just as much as the next person, but on this issue I can empathize with her.
I mean, look.
The woman has known pretty much nothing but betrayal since the series started. The Lanisters killed her husband. Theon betrayed them and (as far as she knows) killed her two youngest sons. The Freys and Boltons betrayed them and killed (again, in her mind) her only remaining son. Hell, they killed her.
And suddenly here's Brienne, the only person in the Seven Kingdoms who Catelyn trusted to bring back her only remaining children. And what is she doing? Wandering around with a gat damned Lanister sword. With a gat damn lion on the pommel. Let's count our lucky stars no one involved knew the thing was made via melting down Ned's family sword.
How's a hate-fueled zombie obsessed with revenge supposed to react?
My friends want to create a guild in Guild War 2 using Game of Throne puns for a name. Doesn't have to be limited to Game of Thrones, literally. A suggested "funny" guild name was JoffsBros. The groans were heavy, I assure you.
I am not good at creating puns.
So I have come to you gentle folk, to see what sort of puns can be created. I fear for our collective sanity.

And lose her one way to watch new episodes of True Blood? Doubtful.
Then I will lose.
How do I do this?

No no. Although he is, when he's not drunk and angry.
I was just talking about a Game of Thrones fighting game the other night (Super Stark Fighter).
You know those bonus levels where you beat up a car?
In this game, you slap the shit out of Joffy B.
It would sell more than Super Mario 3.
