The New Game of Thrones Methadone Shot Is Here
Jonesing for more Game of Thrones goodness, I made the mistake of recently rewatching the entire HBO series on demand. Oh, it felt so good to shoot 10 straight hours of Game of Thrones-y goodness straight into my brain stem, but now the addiction is stronger than ever before. So thank the old gods for this new HBO production video, about how the show took the entire Night’s Watch to Iceland to film their north of The Wall adventure, and freeze their asses off for our entertainment. Seeing as how gorgeous Iceland looks in this YouTube video, I fully expect to look even better in the show proper; still, it’s a long way until the first episode debuts on April 1st. Seriously, if anyone has any heroin that I can use to pass the time, that’d be awesome. Or a copy of Skyrim — I’m told they’re much the same thing.
