"Игра престолов": правда и вымысел - РИА Новости, 20.09.2013 (обновлено: 10:51 20.09.2013) Прежде чем прославиться в качестве автора фэнтези-саги "Песнь льда и пламени", Джордж Мартин долгое время работал в Голливуде как сценарист, редактор и продюсер. Лавры писателя-фантаста в ту пору мало его привлекали: Мартин считал современное фэнтези несерьезной литературой, делая исключение, пожалуй, только для "Властелина колец" Джона Толкиена. Это предубеждение разрушилось благодаря книгам Тэда Уильямся (а именно его циклу "Память, Скорбь и Тёрн") и Джека Вэнса. Вдохновленный их работами, Мартин взялся за перо в новом для себя жанре — и снискал немалый успех. Цикл "Песнь льда и пламени" была изначально задумана как трилогия, однако в настоящий момент серия состоит из пяти опубликованных томов и двух книг, которые только готовятся увидеть свет.
All Sorts of Weird Stuff: News - Game of Thrones Gaming News There’s been a bit more movement on the RPG and strategy game fronts, thanks to Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide Studio. First, we were remiss not to note that Game Banshee has an interview with one of the designers of the roleplaying game, which features a couple of new images, including a nicely moody bit of concept art which we really hope they translate into the game proper. On top of that, Focus and Cyanide have released a few new screen shots of the game, along with a press release providing just a bit more information about the game’s concept: “A Game of Thrones - Genesis”, Cyanide Studio’s upcoming PC strategy game, today unveiled 3 exclusive screenshots of the game. Thanks to a well-developed single player campaign written under supervision of the author George R.R. In this great strategy game, victory does not necessarily result from brute force.

Digital Blasphemy 3D Wallpaper: Widescreen, Dual-Screen, Triple-Screen, iPhone4, iPad, Droid, XBox360, PS3, HDTV Backgrounds Corriendo con tijeras |Corriendo con tijeras Game of thrones Маршрут до Вестероса: самые интересные инфографики и карты по миру «Игры престолов» Тем, кто начинал смотреть «Игру престолов» в далеком 2011 году (и даже позднее), трудно удержать в голове все сюжетные линии. Но им на помощь приходят инфографики, которые в наглядной форме напоминают, что происходило в сериале и чем примечательны его герои. Осторожно: в этом материале и представленных в нем инфографиках много спойлеров первых четырех сезонов «Игры престолов». Если вы не хотите портить себе настроение, лучше посмотрите на детенышей выдры. Они пищат. Одну из самых исчерпывающих инфографик (на самом деле, это серия работ) создал дизайнер Найджел Иван Деннис (Nigel Evan Dennis). Справа вверху возле каждого героя указано, в каком сезоне он появляется в первый раз (количество серых точек), а также был ли он убит (красный крест; если героя ранили, то крест указан на соответствующей части тела). Гигантский список героев разбивается несколькими инфографиками поменьше — о религиях, драконах, важнейших исторических событиях, дружбе и вражде домов Вестероса.
Game of Thrones Board Game On Saturday Brenden and Dan came over to play the Game Of Thrones board game that I got for my birthday. There were supposed to be five of us playing (the max for the game), but Gerard and Wes canceled at the last minute, and so we were left with the minimum players for the game. The game was new for all of us, and turned out to be a lot of fun. I really liked the Game Of Thrones board game , and would definitely like to try it with all five players. Still it was a lot of fun. The rules weren't too complicated, we had the board all set up and everything was ready to go in under an hour. I started as the Lannisters, who ended up sandwiched between Brenden and Dan in the middle of the board. There were lots of good territories to occupy near my starting position but Brenden and I butted heads on turn two and spent the rest of the game beating each other up and trading ownership of one area. It was a lot of fun to see my friends, and get to play a new and interesting game at the same time.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces The Hero with a Thousand Faces (first published in 1949) is a work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell. In this book, Campbell discusses his theory of the mythological structure of the journey of the archetypal hero found in world myths. Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theory has been consciously applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. Filmmaker George Lucas acknowledged Campbell's theory in mythology, and its influence on the Star Wars films.[1] Summary[edit] Campbell explores the theory that mythological narratives frequently share a fundamental structure. A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.[3] In laying out the monomyth, Campbell describes a number of stages or steps along this journey.

Kai Schaefer: World Records is a nostalgic look at vinyl record albums and the turntables used to play them (PHOTOS). Kai Schaefer/Courtesy of Kopeikin Gallery Five years ago, Kai Schaefer had a big, empty wall in his new flat and needed something to fill it. He decided to make a photograph of a record. Although Schaefer grew up listening to tapes, one of the first records he listened to was Led Zeppelin IV. “I remember I was 12 or 13 and my father had the record Led Zeppelin IV,” Schaefer recalled via email. Drawing from Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” Schaefer began photographing some of the albums on the list. Schaefer isn’t a collector of vinyl or of turntables but works with collectors who allow him to borrow their resources to make the images. “World Records” is meant to pay homage to the era of analog acoustic art and to inspire the viewer to enter a nostalgic space when viewing the images. And he’s not done photographing records.
