Game of Thrones TV Crawl

It truly is amazing what we can do with computers these days. This has to be the most epic credits sequence for any show or film I have ever seen.



I only heard about Game of Thrones by chance. I was probably watching Hulu or something. I had never heard of George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire, or any of his other works until then. Now, I don't live with my head under a rock, but neither am I on the cutting edge of the literary community. I read Eragon in 2004, and excepting Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, was pretty much the only fantasy I had read up to that point. I have been trying to make up for that ever since. So when I heard about "America's Tolkien", I grew curious. Research into the show increased my excitement, but I only actually bought the first novel in the series a couple days ago. I read the Prologue, and it seems par for the fantasy course. Black Guards and Undead with glowing blue eyes. I'm saving the rest for my loooooong plane flight(s) tomorrow. Here's hoping it will be a good book.
