Have you ever heard of RiffTrax? They add a “commentary” to movies, but they’re not commenting on the movie — they’re just making fun of it. I 100% recommend giving one of their videos a watch - it’s worth the price of admission.

Game of Thrones fan? Check out this huge Thrones board game. It looks intimidating, but it also looks like a lot of fun.

Quinns: This month saw the release of a beautiful new edition of the Game of Thrones board game, a game of duplicity and scheming that, according to rumours, is so mean it’s actually capable of damaging friendships. Yesterday Paul and I played it, and today we seek to answer two very serious questions. One, should you buy it? And two, following his incredible defeat, will Paul manage to assemble an objective opinion?
Paul: I’m not bitter! There’s a lot about A Game of Thrones I want people to know, but they can start by knowing I was graceful in defeat. Under my rule House Tyrell were a staunch and honest ally for the entire game, which definitely wins me the moral victory.
Quinns: Aw! You must tell me how that feels, because I only know what it’s like to win the actual game of thrones. It’s also interesting you’re talking ethics when you spent the entire game convincing my neighbours to war against me.
Paul: I console myself with the terrible truth that success in A Game of Thrones means being a very, very bad person. Someone with no moral fiber, that maidens flee from and dogs turn their noses up at. Just like in the books, then.
Quinns: Absolutely. This game’s biggest success is how it feels worryingly like taking part in the baleful power struggles of George R.R. Martin’s novels. Click on through to read how we discovered that this game would make both the best and worst Christmas present imaginable.
My thoughts on GM’s choice to pull their Facebook ads, rather than rework their strategy.

The big news in social marketing this week, especially in light of Facebook’s planned initial public offering of stock, is that General Motors has opted out of Facebook advertising because GM is “disappointed in the results.” The company had a Facebook ad…
My thoughts on the successful YouTube show “TableTop,” and how it demonstrates the ability for online content to drive interest and sales in your brand’s product or service.

It is great to have an active and engaged audience online, but brands also need fan bases that are their customer bases when they are selling or promoting goods or services. How can they drive sales? Can a viral video or picture sell a product on its own?
I asked myself that…
Really looking forward to trying this board game.

Paul: So, you know that Merchants & Marauders game we looked at a couple of weeks back? Well, we didn’t. I was desperate to get my pirate paws on it and Quinns went ahead and played it without me. You know why? His excuse was that I was ill.
That’s not an excuse, that’s just exploiting a good man’s sickness. I could’ve been dying, and there he was, laughing over a game that I could only grasp at in my most moribund of visions.
Kingsburg, then! Here’s a review of both my first and my favourite dice-placement game, and Quinns isn’t allowed anywhere near it. Come with me, readers, as I take you on a right regal journey around its royal court.

When President Obama asked Steve Jobs what it would take to make iPhones in the United States, the late Apple co-founder supposedly quipped: “Those jobs aren’t coming back.”
When I read this, it reminded me of something my dad presented to us as kids a long time ago- The Beer Game.
