Oh good, another chance for people to casually talk about how they expect a person to die soon.
I don’t think it’s so much that people expect GRRM to die soon – nevermind the fact that he’s well into his 70s and rumors about his health are irrepressible – as it is that the most recent book in the series was released thirteen years ago.
Between the first two books, there were two years, then another two years for book 3, then five years, then six. It’s simply a matter of an unfavorable mathematical progression. Even if by some miracle he drops Winds of Winter tomorrow, the planned final book would seemingly take at least as long again to finish, and given the difficulty of endings, probably much longer than that. GRRM could live to 100 and we would be lucky to see him complete this series.
“Soon” doesn’t even come into it.
You’ve just jumped at the opportunity to prove my point.
I love to read and I have loved reading the ASOIAF series and of course I’d love to get to the end (I never bothered to watch the TV show). But I can’t get my head around the entitlement to that finale meaning I can complain about another human’s mortality! If I get them then great, but the constant need to piss and moan about it just baffles me.
GTA 6 will finally be released by archeologist thousands of years from now.
A Dance With Dragons took him 6 years to write. It’s been 13 years since then. Even if Winds of Winter came out tomorrow, it would take him 26 years to write A Dream of Spring given that each book takes twice the time the previous one did. Sadly it’s vaporware at this point.
Finally! I’m still waiting for Chess 2.0 though
A video game version of Chess 2 is available on Ouya as of 2014.
Gonna take the world by storm!
I hate the fact that the only thing that comes to mind when I think of the Ouya is the Detective Heart of America movie. Second-top comment sums it up:
I love how each year that passes the ouya joke gets stronger since the whole point is that no one knew or knows what the fuck an ouya is
