Er, how is it any more unbelievable than any other part of the series? The books have had undead shit from the very first chapter on. The others? The wights made out of the Night's Watch? Dondarrion dying a billion times? The shit with Dany? The dragons? etc.

You suckers are so last century. Audiobooks are where it's at. Roy Dotrice is frickin' gold as a narrator. I think he's returning for Dance with Dragons.

But what do you do? Sit on rocking chair staring out the window while you listen to ASOIAF?

Rathgar · 05-12-2008, 10:05 PM

Masturbate.

Just a nitpick on that - it might seem that way at first glance, but Ned was not screwed by being honorable, he was royally screwed every time he failed in his honor/duty due to compassion.

Warning Cersei because he thought Robert would kill her children.

Then betraying his honor by scheming with littlefinger, allowing his betrayl.

Then lying to Robert about his children to not piss him off while dying.

Confessing because of threats to his children.

Mostly listen to them while I am driving.

And Wolfen I hope that is true. That last reader was boring as fuck.

I can't do audio books. I don't want someone fucking up the voices I've already created in my mind for the characters.

Braen · 05-13-2008, 06:46 AM

If you hear Roy Dotrice, you would change your mind. He has over 500 different voices and they have replaced all my old internal ones.

dechire · 05-13-2008, 06:50 AM

Yeap Roy is really good.

not really sure how it ISN'T believable shes been a nonstop cunt since she gained power. There is just so much a man can take especially one who is changing as the series progress. I think he just "grew" out of her.

I just started rereading the series, so I'm fresh for Dance with Dragons. Maybe I'll give the audio books a shot, then.

Seconded. And I play MMOs while listening to audiobooks. Grinding/raiding + audiobook = hundred times more palatable than listening to some mouthbreather swallow their mic on guild vent.

Braen · 05-13-2008, 07:23 AM

The way he reads Tyrion is fucking $$$ My favorite character and voice.

Also, he make Littlefinger a bit more menacing the way he reads him as well. I just loaded the first book on my Zune for another run through to gear up for Dance.

I just wish GRRM could pay Roy to do AFfC and my world will be complete.

Soygen · 05-13-2008, 08:44 AM

Now I just gotta' find the audio books. I'm lost after no more oink!
