[WATCH] Game of Thrones' Westeros Being Built in Minecraft

A speedy tour of Westeros in all its pixellated finery

I know, I know - another Game of Thrones post.

Oh, the horror.

But here, I get to combine my A Song of Ice and Fire passion with my vidya passion and give you this: Fanatic fools that are re-creating George R. R. Martin's world of Westeros - all on a lone Minecraft server (dubbed "A Server of Ice and Fire" - tee hee.)

Here - here's your Saturday afternoon. You're welcome.

[READ] Jaime Lannister vs. Cthulhu

Winds of Winter, the latest novel in critically acclaimed author George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, must not keep the ol' boy too busy - he apparently has time to pit the love-to-hate Jaime Lannister against arcane demigods from beyond the brink of madness in a one-off battle scene.

But that's exactly what Martin's done, in repsonse to Suvudu's Cage Match Series, which pits fictional characters against each other, crossover deathmatch-style. io9 dug up one of Martin's LiveJournal entries from 2010 and apparently, he wasn't pleased with the ancient Cthulhu of Ry'leh besting his pretty-boy Kingslayer.

Excerpt from Martin's version of the battle after the break...

'A very small man can cast a very large shadow'

Winter has yet to come - at least in the usual Johnstown fashion.

Just reminds me that we've got just a couple short months before the second book in George R.R. Martin's fantasy-epic-to-end-all-fantasy-epics, "A Song of Ice and Fire," is given the HBO series treatment.

I've been bewitched by the perpetual HBO hype-machine today, gorging myself on Game of Thrones Season 2 teaser footage. Read on and YOU CAN TOO, spoiler-free!

(But srsly, if you do fantasy and haven't read the first book or even watched the first season yet... I mean... I - I really don't know what to say to you.)
