Geek / Ice and/or Fire / Books / Games / TV Game Of Thrones: The Game (... Of Thrones?)

Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 3:42 PM

Generally speaking, College Humor is the electronic equivalent of a popped collar and collecting beer bottles above your bed. It speaks to a certain audience, but that audience ate a pop tart and bong resin for breakfast and has Chem 101 in twenty minutes, so it's not like they're discussing Tolstoy in a French salon.

That said, I give propers where propers are due, and this faux 16-bit RPG take on Game of Thrones is pretty solid. I mean, they obviously used Final Fantasy III as a template, but instead of that game's stirring writing or interesting characters, they included a ton of blunt references to debauched, borderline disturbing sex acts! That's hilarious!

If they had included a few fart jokes and a picture of John Boehner, I might have wet myself.

(Actual, unsarcastic propers to Topless Robot for finding this thing.)

Generally speaking, the same can be said about you "Nex".
