This Guy Could Film An Entire Game Of Thrones Episode By Himself

He couldn’t really handle an entire episode, what with the lack of the many female characters, but I’d say he could do some funny low budget sketches at the least. Particularly because he excluded Joffrey, since we all know Joffrey is the absolute…

Fine, I’ll Buy Your Damn Transformers Prime Game
But only because Arcee looks halfway decent in the screens for the game, coming to 3DS, DS and Wii this October. I know I gave you guys shit earlier, but you have found my weakness.
