The program is based on George R.R. Martin’s bestselling series of
novels "A Song of Fire & Ice" and executive produced by David
Benioff ("Troy"), D.B. Weiss ("Halo") and Guymon Casady ("Hope &
Faith"). The title “Game of Thrones” is from the first novel in the
series.
If greenlit, “Thrones” would represent the rarest of TV genres: a full-fledged fantasy series.
Though broadcasters have embraced sci-fi-tinged shows in recent
years following the success of ABC’s “Lost” and NBC’s “Heroes,” and
supernatural themes have been given a spin by CW’s “Supernatural” and
HBO’s own “True Blood,” high fantasy is nearly nonexistent in primetime
TV history -- and “Thrones” is an unabashed member of the genre. The
books have swords, dragons, magic, the works.
“Fantasy is the most successful genre in terms of feature films
given the incredible popularity of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and Harry Potter
movies,” Benioff said. “High fantasy has never been done on TV before
and if anybody can do it, it’s HBO. They’ve taken tired genres and
reinvented them -- mobsters in ‘The Sopranos’ and Westerns with
‘Deadwood.’”

But the web's real purpose, he suggested, was "to bring about a higher level of consciousness about our planet and the imminent danger ... we face because of the radical transformation in the relationship between human beings and the earth".
A higher purpose than porn, gossip and jokes?

By the way, I'm not jewish, I'm not an arab, and I'm not a
terrorist. I have little interest in what goes on in the middle east so
I don't share any extreme views. I just think people who blow
themselves up are stupid. That's all this game is. If you found this
offensive, tell your friends! If you are DEEPLY offended by this game
then you're way too fucking sensitive for my taste and I hope that
you've been scarred for life.
IF YOU'VE SEEN OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME LATELY PLEASE E-MAIL
ME ABOUT IT. MOST OF THE TIME I AM UNAWARE OF WHO'S BITCHING ABOUT IT.
UPDATE: Children were removed because the only .fla file i could
find of this game did not have children incorporated yet and I wanted
to install the Newgrounds API deal. So deal with it.
My highest score was 5 after playing for a few minutes.
Not as exciting as made out to be.
Not surprisingly, there has been a corresponding increase in deaths.
According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, the number of emergency
room visits related to painkillers has increased by 153 percent since
1995. And a 2007 report by the Justice Department National Intelligence
Drug Center found that deaths related to the opioid methadone jumped
from 786 in 1999 to 3,849 in 2004 - an increase of 390 percent.
Many experts attribute the trend to the increasing popularity among
doctors of prescribing painkillers, combined with a leap in
direct-to-consumer marketing by drug companies. For example,
promotional spending on Oxycontin increased threefold between 1996 and
2001, to $30 million per year.
