Oh, hey, sorry we missed last week (and that we're late this week). We were off in the shade on vacay, making pina coladas pay the Iron Price. But we're back and feeling refreshed, though we still haven't gotten all the sand out from the wetness between our legs yet.

War is almost upon us in the Game of Thrones universe, and we're getting a little antsy. Not a whole lot has been happening lately, but we know it's all been a setup for the final two episodes (hopefully). Theon and his Iron Island posse are still hanging out in Winterfell when Yara comes rolling in, pissed off that Theon allegedly murdered the Stark boys.

We're guessing HBO is killing a little bit of time until next week's Blackwater blow-out - and if there isn't an "I Survived The Battle of Blackwater," or something on a chain (you book readers no what I'm talking about), we're be sorely disappointed. But, in the meantime, the Map of Westeros takes center stage in this week's featured items from the HBO Store. We're sorely tempted to make some Dora The Explorer jokes, but the Venn diagram for Game of Thrones fans and Dora watchers probably just has us in the middle of two circles, and that's it:

First up is a shirt with a slightly more subtle map design, and the perfect way to work the phrase, "Hey baby, wanna check out my spicy pepper down near Dorne?" into conversation. Note: Never work that phrase into conversation, ever. Read More...

Last week we told you guys that if you haven't started hating Cletus The Slack Jawed Yokel Theon Greyjoy, get ready. See what we meant?


Buzz Theon's sides and the resemblance is uncanny

Anyway, at this point in the season, so much is happening on the show that doesn't happen in Clash of Kings we're basically out of analysis to give, but we think we've figured out what's going on. This season is actually just a dramatic allegory of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Theon Greyjoy, acting as an entitled trustafarian who thinks he represents the 99%, has finally had it with those rich Starks up in Winterfell, so he "occupies" the castle, and then makes some confusing and pointless demands, like having everyone refer to him as 'Prince Theon'. So this #occupy metaphor is breaking down pretty quickly, but we're sure some academic, with way too much time on their hands is already writing their comm studies dissertation on this subject. So, uh, let us lexus-nexus that for you?

Jake Busey Says Hi

This season of Game of Thrones has been heavily focused on expanding the world of Westeros and beyond the Narrow Sea. We've met a ton of new characters so far, but surprisingly a lot of the old characters have done a good job at staying alive. That was until last night, when last week's cliffhanger (Melisandre's vagina shadow) crept into Renly's tent and drove a blade through his back, to the horror of both Brienne and Catelyn Stark. Huge plot twist, especially since it sounded like Renly was leaning towards making peace with Robb. Just a heads up from two guys who have read the books, don't expect anything you want to happen in this story to actually happen because George R. R. Martin will never do it. We won't elaborate on what we mean by that, but in a few years when the show is all said and done, you'll get it.

Well we made it through another Spring Sunday and if you're reading this that means two things: One, you probably survived some torrential rainfall (it was really coming down shadowcats and dire wolves in NYC, are we right?) and two, we 'received' a new episode of HBO's Game Of Thrones where characters corrected each others' pronunciation and grammar, and the show producers 'corrected' George R.R. Martin's apparently too straight forward plotting. And that's weird, because what happens in the books still happens (like the big things), they just keep changing how those big things happen, and we're not sure why. Anyway, let's see where we're at after the fourth episode from Game Of Thrones Season 2, 'Garden Of Bones'.

Much like Obi-Wan and Yoda giving advice to a young Luke Skywalker, elders were dishing it out left and right in last night's episode of Game of Thrones. From Lord Mormont with Jon Snow, to Maester Luwin with Bran, to Yoren with Arya, the teachers were giving the students a real what's what on life. It makes you think that when the show finally comes to an end, there's going to be a scene where Jon, Bran and Arya are looking off into the distance at something like this:

Yoren's already gone, so we just need two more deaths to make this moment possible.

Another night of Game of Thrones and another night of HBO greatly deviating from the story line of the books.  We're not complaining (really, we're not), it's just we started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire books shortly after season one last year and seeing how they're all around a 1,000 pages in length, we wouldn't have wasted our time had we known that reading them wouldn't really give us any insight on the show.

Anywho, here's our recap of episode two, which basically is just a list of all the MAJOR changes to the story that have been made so far. This episode starts off where the last one left off with Arya (Arry) and Gendry on the road with the Night's Watch. While making camp, two members of the Goldcloaks approach looking for Gendry.  Some words are said, some feelings hurt, and all of sudden Yoren has his dagger drawn, ready to get all surgical on some leg arteries.  Since we first met him in season one, Yoren has been just a delight.  A grumpy, bitter, delight.

After a quick brush with the law, Arya spills the beans to Gendry about who she really is (because, ya know, women be talkin'), and then they both stare off into the distance like that one shot in Bad Boys (and Bad Boys II).

That scene was pretty accurate, but the next one isn't.

Game Of F****n' Thrones is back, y'all! It's been so long it seemed like the day would never come and we were starting to feel a little bit like Tyrion waiting to hear "I love you" from his Lord Father. Well, we made it and without further ado, we present our recap from the Season 2 premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones. SPOILER ALERT: We kinda loved and hated it. Read More...

Well we've finally made it: Game Of Thrones Season 2 starts tonight. Supposedly! It is April Fools Day after all and we do know how much George R. R. Martin is a fan of the 'LULZ' so who knows what we'll actually get at 9pm; our fingers are crossed for 'Entourage Season 12: The Turtle Chronicles'. (But maybe that's just us.) Anyway, assuming our dreams do come true this weekend and we get to see the first episode of the new season, here's a fun ol' game you and your friends can partake in to make the night more enjoyable... for the night is dark and full of terrors.

The rules are the easiest: Any time something on the below list happens, y'all take a drink. Occasionally you'll be finishing whatever's left in your chalice. You should probably run through the list before hand so you don't miss anything and end up being called a pu**y by the rest of the Frat because you weren't drinking when you should be.

So grab your pitcher of iced tea, or Arnie Palmer it up if you're feeling crazy! And drink along with us as we watch Game Of Thrones.

Take a drink when:
Someone mentions 'Winter'
Someone says "The King in the North"
Someone mentions or engages in incest.
Anyone has sex. Finish your drink: If it's 'doggystyle'.
Boobs! (AKA Tittays AKA Wizards)
Someone drinks Dream Wine. Finish your drink: Someone downs Milk of the Poppy
"My Lord Father" is spoken.
Someone says "Bastard".
2 Drinks whenever someone says "The Twins".
Anytime you see Wildfire.
If we're North of the Wall, warm up with a drink.
"A Lannister always pays his debts" is uttered.
Anyone says "Game of Thrones".
Finish your drink: A major/minor character (like you know their name) is killed or dies.

Character specific triggers:
Tyrion takes a drink, you take a drink.
Joffrey snaps at someone/thing.
Davos touches his neck pouch (this will make sense, trust us).
Melisandre mentions 'the darkness'.
Camera holds on Jon Snow staring off into the distance.
Samwell Tarly acts or is described as 'craven'.
Hodor says "Hodor".
The Hound acts creepy towards Sansa.
A Dire Wolf kills someone.
Brienne gets made fun of for being 'homely'.
Arya is referred to as a boy.
Daenerys ignores Jorah's advice.
One of Dany's dragon's breathes fire.
Finish your drink: A dragon kills someone.
The Great John raises his voice.
Tyrion makes a witty retort
Tyrion visits a brothel
Catelyn misses Ned.
You're creeped out by Lysa Arryn and her son.
Varys mentions his 'little birds'.
Sansa cries.
Cersei clashes with Tyrion.

We'll be adding to and updating 'Get Your Dream Wine On' as the season progresses but we think this a pretty good list to start with. We'll see you Monday afternoon after our Arizona Tall Boy hangover subsides.
