Things continue to get more and more real on 'Game of Thrones.'

Emerald Catron — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:03:43 +0000

We're halfway through the third season of 'Game of Thrones,' and things slowed down a little bit for last night's episode. Granted, there were still sword fights, executions and lots and lots of sex, but unless a dragon had blown up another city, anything was basically guaranteed to feel like a step down after the insanity of episode four. Let's take a look at what happened. (As always, spoilers ahead. Also, it's a HBO show with a lot of violence and other naughty things. So NSFW unless you work for King Joffrey.

'Game of Thrones' fans: BEWARE OF SPOILERS.

In this video -- which fuses some scenes from the hit HBO fantasy series with the fluff-filled 'Friends' opening of our yesteryear -- we're pleasantly reminded of how glad we are that 'Game of Thrones' didn't come out during the '90s.

Joffrey Bieber Tumblr Is Everything You Hope It Would Be

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:59:01 +0000

Some things were meant to be. The Joffrey Bieber Tumblr is the natural marriage of two people everyone (well, almost everyone) loves to hate: Justin Bieber and Joffrey Baratheon from ‘Game of Thrones.’ They’re both blonde, smug and a little too big for their britches (or they would be, if Justin Bieber didn’t insist on [...]

'Game of Thrones' Bad Girls Read That Crazy Sorority Girl Email

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:08:57 +0000

We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.

So we made these mash-ups with female characters from 'Game of Thrones,' both to put a face to this deranged email, and because Rebecca Martinson has resigned from her post at Delta Gamma, and this is how we choose to remember her -- as all the crazy chicks from one of our favorite shows.

Holy moly, *this* was an episode of 'Game of Thrones.' We actually, honestly said many expletives out loud watching it last night. When it was over we felt a little bit like somebody crashed a pair of cymbals right over our head. Now we are sad that we have to wait until next week to see more, so here are some glorious GIFs to help you relive the episode all week long.

Emerald Catron — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:43:02 +0000

It was another fun week on ‘Game of Thrones.’ Last night’s episode, ‘Walk of Punishment,’ followed the pretty standard (which is not to say not awesome) formula of people talking blahblahblah, Tyrion jokes, more people talking, boobs, more talk–OH MY GOD WHAT?!!?!!???!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED??! And then the episode is over. We’ve rounded up some [...]

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:02:25 +0000

If you’d like a new Disney Princess sooner rather than later, here’s Daenerys Targaryen from ‘Game of Thrones‘ in the role. It’s perfect if you want to like ‘Game of Thrones,’ but can’t stand all the sex, violence and not singing.

We're just so happy we only have to wait one week for 'Game of Thrones,' instead of painful long months.

Like most fans of quality TV, we can’t get enough of ‘Game of Thrones‘ and the sadly canceled ‘Friday Night Lights.’ So we figured since George R.R. Martin has said that his bloody fantasy series is inspired by football, why not combine it with our other favorite show? See what happens when the inspiring words of Coach [...]

It seems like every 'Game of Thrones' fan can't wait for March 31, 2013 when HBO's darling returns to televisions everywhere for the third season. Until that time, fans have been busy speculating about which characters and plotlines will appear in the show (we personally can't wait to see the television show's adaption of the Red Wedding), who Jon Snow's parents really are, whether or not Martin will ever finish the series (write like the wind, Martin!) and creating fan videos on YouTube.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:20:57 +0000

Sure, it's got sword fights and dragons, but if you're wanting to take 'Game of Thrones' to some next-level nerdery, this fantastic artwork is probably the ticket. Yes, it's the series' beloved characters drawn in anime fashion. We've seen the show in the style of 'Friends' and 'Seinfeld,' but this drawing by Deviant Art user Joscomie, is a tad more relevant. Meaning, we could actually watch this. Oh! Warning: upon close inspection this contains some spoilers, so passing glances only, if you don't want to ruin everything.

'Game of Thrones' Meets 'Seinfeld'

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 19:15:41 +0000

Who could’ve guessed that if the HBO hit ‘Game of Thrones‘ just had a laugh track, it’d measure up to one of the greatest comedies of all time? Okay, maybe that’s pushing it, but adding some ‘Seinfeld’ bass along with the studio laughter certainly entertained us for two minutes. Just in case, Peter Dinklage should start [...]

The 10 Coolest Fictional Pets

Amanda Ferris — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:17:36 +0000

You might think you have the greatest pet in the world, but that's probably because you don't watch much TV. Instead of a cat that secretly hates you, fictional pets can be dragons or loyal household animals who stick by your side as you step out into the great unknown, rather than eating the contents of your bathroom trashcan the second you're out the door.
