He didn't really stand out to me in the books, but Ramsay quickly became one of my fav characters in the show.

You've got the wrong bloody Ramsay there.

Problems with partners...

When people obviously don't read what I've written, I don't read what they write. I'd just ignore their PMs.

Ramsay Snow is the most genuinely detestable character I've seen. Some of his scenes in the TV series were hard to watch.

Ramsay Snow > Joffrey Baratheon. Joffrey is sadly predictable, he's low and petty, and barely clever (it's like every generation since Tywin has lost about half the cleverness of the last).

Slightly spoiler, will probably be revealed this season anyway

The only really impressive thing he did was send the footpad after Bran with Tyrion's blade, but he still did it for petty reasons.

Ramsay, on the other hand, is pretty unpredictable. He's shown that he can act and play the friend, and lie with impunity, as well as be sadistically evil. Everything he does is for his own pleasure, but it's not always clear what will give him pleasure. Although the show is giving him far too many scenes with sausages in them.

I am trying to complete my senior project right now, and AP testing is at the beginning of May so, things will have to wait just a bit longer until I get an opening.

School happens, it's understandable.

So do we do roleplays here or something

Fair point, Shy. And I'd definitely be interested in your RD, will you PM me when it's starting up? I can't guarantee I'll keep remembering to check Spam, I usually forget for weeks on end.

He's not major (Multiple book) character in the series. There's only a couple major character deaths in ADWD and the most major one didn't necessarily remove said character from the series. I really detested these last two books for how much they slowed the series down. AFFC was utter bullshit; ADWD had some pull, but was still not on the same level as the first three books.

To be fair, AGOT, ACOK and ASOS were written as a trilogy. Clearly, that didn't pan out, as we're sitting here with 5 books out of a planned 7. However, it makes some sense if you consider the first three to be a trilogy reworked into a larger series, they're quite cohesive and fast paced compared to the later books. We can only hope that The Winds of Winter will speed things up.

The ASOS list has a lot of casualties from the Battle of the Blackwater.Otherwise all the names come from basically one event where we really only care about two of the people that got killed.

Are you suggesting we care about the characters in ADWD more?

I was just jokin I know about this place. Sorry

Jokes? You come here with JOKES?!

Oh, okay.

Google I/O

So I just applied to the Google I/O conference. If you didn't know, it's Google's annual developer conference where they talk about all the cool stuff they're doing, give hands-on demos of some new and current stuff, announce a bunch of new stuff, give out goodies to conference-goers so they can rave about it on social media, and have an all-around good time.

I've never been able to go. First couple years, I didn't have the money. Third year, I didn't have the money or the time (summer class). Fourth year, I didn't have the money or the time (summer internship).

This year, I have the money (barely!) and the time (hopefully!) to go. There's a lot that has to fall into place here, starting with Minnesota giving me a tax refund for being a renter, a class I'm petitioning to be waived, and that my application is actually chosen by Google's random lottery. But, oh well.

I applied and I'm excited, if for nothing less than the possibility of going.
