No LARPing matter.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing it was a total sausagefest or not, I'm hoping the lack of gender diversity was just down to refusal, though being game of thrones they could just have got a coupla half naked chicks to cavort in the background while the menfolk swung their axes.

I wonder if the players were cringing a lot or just thankful their fees werent contingent on a spot of cosplay with some furry cloaks made out of rugs from the fair kingdom of Ikea.

Perhaps I just don't fit the profile but things like this always look more like self harm than promotion.

The way popular culture is shoved in people's faces these days it's become a point of pride to be ignorant to it.

In the past, you were cool if you knew all the references. Nowadays you're cool if you pretend to not have heard of them.
What about those that truly don't pretend? Ive heard the name but have had zero inclination to look it up...

Game of Thrones and offset guitars. Two things that have been done to fucking death by everyone and their dog, together at last.

Ah...but now everyone and their direwolf has done them.

I'm almost nostalgic for the days when I'd sneer at a Jackson airbrushed with a large breasted Valkyrie riding a battle wyvern which I thought the very subbasement of uncool but credit to Fender for finding abandoned mine workings hidden beneath.

Ooooo. YES. I get to be the guy that says "well, I kinda like it" I mean, I don't very much, and let's all moan about the price, but eh... fine by me.

As usual, this is not the forum that is really the target audience for this sort of thing and if it makes people (with questionable tastes) happy fine by me.

I'd probably play the Jackson, but I'd save the righteous graphics for the side of that van I want.

They’re all pretty cool but like, that Jaguar is way more fancy looking than the others. I know that any Stark thing should be a little more on the humble side than anything associated with the Lannisters but it’s weird. That CNC stuff the did for the dragon scale look on the Targaryen Strat is awesome.

Look, any time Tom Morello mugs to sell a $30,000 strat, someone should remind him he's a Marxist.

And then remind him that as an honors polysci student at Harvard, he should know better.

Yeah, that was more the tone I was responding to. I've never read a Harry Potter book or watched a single movie. And yet I wouldn't pretend not to have heard of it or claim superiority over the superfans like my wife. It's just not something that interested me enough to try it. It's also fine to try it and not like it. I've never willingly through a soccer game either, but I wouldn't to have never heard of the World Cup.
