I know who the Night King is. (Game of Thrones prediction)

The night king is a bit of an oddity on Game of Thrones. The point of much of the show is that there is no absolute good or evil, and all whove committed evil can be redeemed....but he seems pure evil. And his identity is still totally hidden in shadows...........until today. You see, I think I know who he is: He's the brother (or son/father)of Brandon Stark. Not the crippled one who's currently calling himself the 3 eyed raven. No the original Brandon Stark....Brandon the Builder, the founder of House Stark. Consider the following facts if you will: 1) We already know the Night King was transformed to his current state by the magic of the Children of the Forrest, before that he was a First Man. We also know the Northmen are the decedents of the First Men (unlike the rest of Westeros who are descended from the Andals). Meaning the Starks are all First Men, so a blood relationship is possible. 2) Brandon the Builder got his name, from among other things, building the Wall.  The ...

Who will sit on the Iron Throne?

10 episodes left before the series ends seems like the perfect time to start guessing who exactly is going to sit in the iron throne, especially as the show has started finally to bring all its principals together and wrap up story arcs. Now while there are some lead characters (Theon, Littlefinger) and a ton of secondary characters who arnt members of one of the 3 major houses, its a safe assumption none of them will be on the Iron Throne. So for the sake of this article we are looking only at the 8 living members of the 3 major houses, Stark, Lannister and Targaryen, and guessing not just their chances of sitting on the iron throne, but reaching the end of the last episode alive. And we are going to rank them on a 0-10 scale from least likely to be alive/be king, starting with the character with the lowest chances in my opinion 8) Bran Stark House: Stark Chances of survival: 0/10 Sits on the Iron Throne: 0/10 Bran Stark is dead.....the rest of the world (outside of ...

Top 40 Video games Part 5: Diamond Tier (8-1)

And here we have it folks, at long long last, the TOP 8 VIDEO GAMES OF ALL FREAKING TIME! At least according to me.....but I have fantastic taste :P For those of you whove been following along this whole time expect to see some "holes" get filled and expectations met, as Bioware finally gets on the list....and dominates it, and Nintendo's most famous franchise gets a mention.  And if you have read the 4 earlier parts, you might have a couple of ideas of what else is hear based on what I promised earlier would turn up . With that out of the way HERE WE GO 8) Lego Marvel Superheroes (2013) PC I'll be entirely honest, the Lego franchise hasnt really benefited from voice acting, in fact I'd say a lot of the signature humor of the series is gone......which is why they started doing more original stories, as without direct source material they arnt basically flat versions of the source material. And no original lego game represents the heights they can get to ...

Top 40 Video games Part 4: Platinum Tier (16-9)

It's been a long road to get here...but here we go, the Sweet 16 tier of best video games of all times ( part 1 , part 2 and part 3 , for all you late arrivals) 16) Uncharted 4 (2016) PS4. So remember in the previous entry when I said that Uncharted was basically male tomb raider, in that they ripped off that idea and did some things better? And then Tomb Raider ripped them off on their reboot and thats why they got higher placement than Uncharted 2? Well.....the cycle continued as in my opinion Uncharted 4 took a lot of the stuff Tomb Raider improved on from them (mostly the slightly smoother climbing mechanics more natural looking ledges to hand on, and the sliding mechanics) and then actually made the game character driven. Unlike most of the games like this, the areas your in and the significance of the object your looking for are secondary to how the characters interact with each other. I'll be honest, off the top of my head I kinda forget exactly what Drake was...

Top 40 Video games Part 3: Gold Tier (24-17)

Welp, we've done the first 2/5th of the list....time for Part 3 24) Fallout 4 (2015) PS4 To be honest, I was very tempted to leave this off the list entirely because I'm not a fan of Bethesda's seeming business practice of releasing buggy and glitchy games intentionally and assuming fans will fix it for them with Mods later cause they make their code easily accessible. (so anyone want to guess what the chances are of seeing any of the Elder Scrolls games are?) And I'll go so far as to admit this is the reason i didnt buy Fallout 4 until I found it on sale one day for like $30 and figured "what the hell why not?"  Turns out when I started it up...it was actually pretty good. I liked the concept of being a survivor of the pre nuke era waking up in a post Apocalypse and I had a lot of fun running around the map....for a long while anyways. The biggest flaw in this game is there is actually too damn much of it....the first half dozen settlements or so I foun...
