No, I got a knack for Faces..one of the few positive things I got Tongue  Ok...why are you proud of not watching GoT...a little Hipster mentality perchance Tongue
Yep, definitely hipster. Plus, when it comes to tv shows, I split the audience into two types: geeks and muggles If a show is massively popular with muggles and gets hyped up massively, chances are I won't enjoy it much. If geeks like it first and then muggles catch on, then I will enjoy it. This mentality is based on experience and empirical evidence. Plus it's fun shocking my friends when they find out I haven't seen it.

I may get around to it eventually. One day. Maybe.

Well remember, its based on books that were popular with geeks for 15 years before it was a show.  "Muggles" only got into it because it had Dragons and Nudity.

1- What are "books"?
2- Dragons and nudity are an awesome combination, but still not enough to get me to watch
3- Regarding the source material, that's exactly the same reason I don't watch The Walking Dead (cos I read the comics when they first came out and the show just can't compare to that awesomeness).
4- The world needs muggles; it makes us geeks more amazing by comparison

In the case of GOT  I actually prefer the show to the books...

I don't think LB likes popular things. He's a little bit of a hipster in his avant garde choices (said with tongue firmly in cheek)

You're more accurate than you think.  Cheesy

It just looks very derivative compared to other shows, like a knockoff mixture of DAREDEVIL and ARROW. With superhero media being so saturated now I'm finding myself increasingly wanting these things to stand out or add something new (or just be an incredibly solid romp), and I haven't seen much here yet.

I like movies, Spider-Man, and lightsabers.

That's about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My username and avatar may be of a villain, but I like Light Side points.
