Tyrion Lannister.

This is unsurprising.

I don't know who this person is, but I got him as well.

Am I dead now?

No. And here you go.

I like this guy.

[SealyStar]

Also, did they really stop publishing Time? It would have to have been recent because I don't even recall them announcing they were stopping. Or is it a joke along the lines of "Time isn't a real magazine anymore"?

The latter. TIME nowadays features articles about pointless things that make me frown about the fate of humanity like their edition on "smart houses", about sensationalist stuff like rape on college campuses or the Ferugson shooting, or crapfest celebrity gossip (Taylor Swift appeared on the cover a couple months ago, for starters.)

The latter part of the magazine, "Culture", also makes me frown about popular culture--they fail to acknowledge the existence of non-pop musicians, they act like Scrabble adding "geocache" to their official dictionary is a bad thing, they fanboyed/girled over Frozen for a year and a half and acted like buying tickets for a hypothetical sequel would be a chore--the list goes on.

This comparison of covers sums it up pretty well.

Yeah, I also agree they've deteriorated. I just didn't understand why you singled them out because virtually all "news" media has been undergoing Buzzfeedification for the last few years.

I mean, "Buzzfeedification" isn't just in the sense of becoming clickbaity, but in the sense of covering Buzzfeedy content to appeal to the Buzzfeed demographic of college-aged women with intellectual superiority complexes.

I brought it up when they were talking about Game of Thrones and I had something relevant to GoT I'd heard in TIME.

Tyrion Lannister.

aaaa
you lucky git

And yes, I know nothing.

Spoiler: Seriously. This is a book spoiler from the end of the fifth book. If you care, DON'T SODDING OPEN IT. (click to show/hide)

Shame I'm probably dead.

GUYS
I got Jon Snow!

Arya Stark was mine.
Damn, that's fitting, but damn that poor girl.
(Half-way through third book, NO TV VERSION UNTIL FINISHED CHALLENGE, and I hear even worse things happen)

[Putnam]

It's kind of funny the spoiler thing comes up, because apparently, the writers are going to diverge from the books soon and start writing original plotlines instead.

At least, that's what I heard from TIME Magazine For Kids, the only TIME Magazine they distribute nowadays.

The ride never ends.

This "Chuck Tingle" fellow is some sort of random sentence generator/comedy genius, and Amazon probably has entirely the wrong ideas about my interests since I was logged in this whole time.

Alright, I finally lost my shit at Gay T-Rex Law Firm: Executive Boner...
These are real books. Thousands of words long. I... I can't...

Other honest-to-God titles include "I'm Gay for My Living Billionaire Jet Plane" and "Space Raptor Butt Invasion".

I one-shotted a cyberdisc on XCOM today! Admittedly, it was new XCOM, but it was on classic difficulty(yes, I know it's really nothing like the original, which is why I've started playing the original, which has also made me tremendously happy because it is amazing!).

Some of them are pretty good, actually.

E: NO I DON'T HAVE A DINOSAUR FETISH WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT

[ECrownofFire]

Did somebody mention dragons?

I think I heard somebody mention dragons.

Dragons.

[Eric Blank]

Dragons constitute a surprisingly large fraction of furry pornography.

The more you know, the more you squirm.

Is it really furry if they don't have fur, though?

[BlitzDungeoneer]

They're called scaleys, then, IIRC. I dunno.
