So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Now I can't even be bothered to start.

Same. Never read any of the books either. 0 interest.

Playing the pinball machine is literally the only experience I have with any GoT media.

And what is your verdict on the pinball machine?

It's ok. Obviously I'd probably enjoy it more if I cared about the theme. It was designed by a famous pinball designer, Steve Ritchie (aka the FINISH HIM guy from Mortal Kombat). His designs usually have decent flow and GoT is no exception.

The art is ugly zero effort Photoshop copy/paste tier art which is unfortunately common on modern Stern machines.

What's interesting with GoT is the difference between versions. Stern usually releases Pro (code for cheapest), Limited Edition and Premium (most expensive) versions of machines. Usually gameplay isn't impacted but sometimes the LE/Premiums will have gameplay changing features that the Pro doesn't, which is the case with GoT. Usually when this happens, the majority opinion is that the LE/P is better than the Pro (such as with AC/DC), but GoT has a large number of people who prefer the gameplay of the Pro, and it's a pretty divisive pin because of it.

With GoT the Pro version is lacking an upper playfield that the other versions have. Now the upper pf of course gives you more to do and more gameplay depth, but it also kills the game's flow when the ball is up there and frankly just isn't as fun as the main pf.

Though both versions are decent games with pros and cons over the other, I personally prefer the Pro.

That's funny because I live on Super Mars. Every continent is like Earth but starts with Super. Super Asia is actually just an old kung-fu master though.

Hmm I see.

Have you considered writing a book on pinball?

No but I once wrote a screenplay on acid and sold it to Terry Gilliam.
