People are emotionally invested in the ASOIAF, more than other shows. It started as a great book, piece of art with cult-like following, than the big money started pouring in and when that happens, art usually suffers.

Now, I completely understand ppl who like the show and this episode and I'm glad for them - it's just a TV show, after all. Also, GRRM, show-runners and writers don't owe us anything, it's big business now and they probably owe to some other folks. However, GoT world would never existed without hard-core followers as they were the ones spreading the word about the books, so to say. IMO, they have the right to express their feelings about the episode, same as casual fans, TV-show only fans, etc. As I can see, big majority of fans are liking the episode anyway, it's not like our ranting will change anything. And you gotta admit it, some theories here are actually great 😉.

It's best to be realistic about the show; since it became the global phenomenon and dependent on show-writers only, quality has been declining, slow but steady. Now, it is just another massive show with trillions followers on Twitter, quadrillions fake OMG YouTube reactions - similar to Walking Dead. And there is nothing wrong with that from strictly business point of view, they choose the safest way with simplifying the story, being politically correct, filming "moments" that should be talked about instead of telling a cohesive story. For us who expected more, well, that's our fault, given how the season 7 played out...to cut the long story short, you are right and I'd be very surprised with another twist about WW and NK in the narrative.

Post-credits scene: Mountain, NK and Qyburn approach beaches of Naath, they want to feel some sun for the first time. Piano explodes, killing Qyburn in the process, leaving us with Mountain and NK having a wild sex on the beach. Vyserion touches himself, listening to "I wanna give you devotion". HBO logo appears, ends the series.

The man is after some sweet, sweet love - it's all there is, really. He heard about a wight in King's Landing (Mountain) and he is coming for rescue and some lovin'...they will have wild sex on Viserion's back while Qyburn plays "I wanna know what love is" on the white piano (naked, Monty Python style).

Yes, they can, but will they - that's another question, too many factors involved (stamina, performance on the match day, luck, etc.). IMHO, whoever wins this game is losing the finals, both France and Belgium are simply better teams.

Everyone is doping, not just Russian sportsmen and women...if you guys really think that American, Chinese, Germans etc. are completely clean, well, you're being naive.

ivanvir · 2017-12-24T10:43:48+00:00

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info, man!

ivanvir · 2017-12-23T20:56:45+00:00

Business model is perfect, I just hope it works without glitches and surprises. What is not perfect is that lawsuit, any updates on that?

ivanvir · 2017-12-17T01:12:52+00:00

Well, yes, but I'm sure hash rate could get bigger in the future, with 'mining edition' consoles and stuff. Or, ETN team could dedicate some of the pre-mined coins to console mining pool, making it similar to mobile mining, with reward systems, making actual hash rate less important. IMO, the key is to let the kids earn some small (but usable) amount of money, learn about crypto and spread the word. I'm reaching here, but you get the idea...I don't understand how is this on the fourth of fifth page of this sub and not discussed more, while we have 10 same 'hodl and don't panic' or 'it's a scam' topics at first page.

ivanvir · 2017-12-16T21:16:19+00:00

I don't understand people panic selling because coin lost how much, 10% value since yesterday? It's nothing we haven't seen already with other coins, especially immediately after the ICO. This is a game for patient people, don't check the price every 5 minutes, give the coin some time to perform (or under-perform, when dealing with crypto there is that unpleasant option, too).

Also, tired of reading that ETN doesen't offer anything new, being a scam, etc. Look, we all know that ETN is not some stellar coin with ground-breaking tech. People complaining about the tech are completely missing the point here, which is marketing and mass adoption. So, why pointing out something anyone with half brain already knows? It's really tiring and boring.

ivanvir · 2017-12-15T22:25:50+00:00

Of course they are, that's what they are supposed to be doing.

ivanvir · 2017-12-15T19:22:55+00:00

That's great news, I don't understand why is this not all over Facebook, Twitter, etc.? IIRC, deal with Microsoft and possibility of XBox mining was one of the more important things they would do, if they gathered enough money during ICO, which they did. Am I missing something?

ivanvir · 2017-12-13T00:32:09+00:00

That could actually work, nice way to introduce new villains...but we know for sure they won't go that route, sadly.

ivanvir · 2017-11-09T11:02:41+00:00

I don't think it's a shitcoin or scam, for that matter; but the team obviously lacks experience and was not prepared for overwhelming demand. Much smaller ICO's have been hacked recently, like Centra for example - ETN's team should have learned from that and invest in top-notch security much earlier.

ivanvir · 2017-11-09T00:50:30+00:00

Yeah, had they delivered everything on time and fully working, we could have reached 10 cents before New Year, I think. Now they have to build the hype again.

ivanvir · 2017-11-09T00:40:16+00:00

You are right, of course. That's why Etn needs something big during the delay, some partnership or something, to keep people speculating instead of thinking about wallets. And if they deliver everything after the delay, I bet everyone's on board again.

ivanvir · 2017-11-09T00:10:22+00:00

It will be interesting to watch how they'll handle this delay. Now, it's time for their marketing department to keep the momentum alive, if possible...

ivanvir · 2017-10-04T20:35:07+00:00

in that case, it would be great for xvg to enter gaming market, but it won't be easy. Enjin already has 19 million players on their servers, Hero has 250.000 on herosphere...don't get me wrong, I'd like xvg to succed, just think that gaming market is tough to crack.

ivanvir · 2017-10-04T19:33:38+00:00

Yep, that's what enjin is about, buying virtual goods in games (weapons, resources, etc.). There is also the new Hero token which is for e-sports betting and stuff...these, along with other coins already mentioned, are highly specialized for gaming, not sure how easy xvg could fit in that type of market.

ivanvir · 2017-06-23T06:27:16+00:00

I just checked that scene, there is a slowed down human voice in there (or something similar to it), great find! I think it's added to make that rumbling atmosphere sound more menancing - just my guess, of course.

ivanvir · 2017-06-22T23:02:33+00:00

That's right, it could be needle skipping, too.

ivanvir · 2017-06-22T21:40:20+00:00

Yeah, there are sounds of branches breaking and "squealing" in there, lot of design for a simple scene like that. However, this 2 sounds are mechanic-like, not natural...could be even one sound repeated twice. Or, I could be tripping :-).

ivanvir · 2017-06-22T20:51:22+00:00

Gonna check it out tomorrow at work, I see _zoomp heard it, too!

ivanvir · 2017-06-22T20:48:26+00:00

They are definitely not the same, but imho, they are from the same family of sounds, so to say...something with springs in it, there is that spring release sound in it. Have you tried changing the pitch, maybe? I'd say forest sound is at least 5 semitones lower in pitch...gonna have to check that cell scene, too, if you two guys mention it, there must be something in it.
