Gaming Humour

But its not an isolated spoiler about a TV show. It bears relevance to the nature of the thread. The poster has taken an image and twisted it into the context of a videogame for the purpose of humour. If you weren't a gamer you wouldn't understand this joke at all. Therefore, the connection to the game aspect is stronger than the connection to the TV aspect.

Tbf, it's an absolutely massive spoiler to the end of the current season that only finished up on Sunday night in the states. If I hadn't watched the episode already I'd be fairly pissed if I saw that.

After being 4 weeks behind and essentially spoiler free for almost a month, you can't really say that people will have seen spoilers elsewhere in the time being, I barely know what happened last week except for what I can gather from the episode title.

While I'm not pissed at the spoiler, the episode aired last night like, this is a games thread not a GoT one, a bit of cop on wouldn't hurt.

Regardless, let's get back to the funnies before the mods arrive :eek:

Ah here,you may be able to watch episodes the minute there out but most people cant,spoilers for TV shows dont belong in a gaming thread imo.

It was related to assassin creed a spoiler tag would have been sufficient but I wouldn't be banning them.

I wouldnt suggest a ban either,or any form of sanction. I was just saying people being more careful about things if they could be a major spoiler would be nice. Just dont embed the image and then in all caps put POSSIBLE GAME OF THRONES SPOILER. A little bit of extra effort but worth it imo.

Mod note Think you've all worked this out yourselves, but yeah go easy on the spoilers for GoT and indeed anything else. Very easy to respectfully hide any spoilers behind tags or an external link or, if it's an embedded video or something, a simple spoiler warning

It was the delivery that mattered in last night's episode anyway
