george romero
>literally who?
George Hack R. Fraud
That's a sick ass name, minus the George bit. What's the etymology of that?
He's literally the exact opposite of a hack or fraud. All he's guilty of is retiring from his book deal to make products he earns a better cut from. Yes, it's actually that simple. Dude's a living legend that prefers generational wealth for his family to making New York City publishing buttholes rich.
He's making 10x more off House of Dragons and the shitty "World of ASOIAF" encyclopedias than he ever made from his book deal, because he owns the IP rights to the world, but not the publishing rights to the main series or its direct adaptions.
Sounds fricking based to me.
he doesn't have kids
He has a wife who is bound to outlive him and a stepdaughter
>stepdaughter
All the cuckshit in the books finally makes sense
>completely unable to finish your books because your wrote yourself into a hole
That is by definition of being a hack/fraud. You're trying to portray yourself as a great writer but can't even finish your fiction because you couldn't constrain your scope.
The dude has published like a dozen other novels and like 50 short stories, plus written a bunch of TV. He can finish a story just fine.
and yet he couldn't finish his magnum opus
His magnum opus is sandkings
Because he obviously doesn't care about asoiaf
Would you if your publisher raped you while being the most relevant author on earth for a decade?
>while being the most relevant author on earth for a decade
He never was considering Harry Potter's popularity blew Asoiaf's out of the park
>The dude has published like a dozen other novels and like 50 short stories
All of which nobody is aware of outside of his contribution to Elden Ring. Hey guess what, Steven King published a lot of novels as well, but people know what they are from The Shining, IT, Pet Sematary, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile. Hell you don't even need to read any of them, but they're so ingrained into the lexicon of the general mindset.
Popularity has nothing to do with quality. By such logic Harry Potter is more expertly written than Hyperion or the Book of the New Sun
Glad we agree Martin's books are shit then
>to do with quality
Well the quality of ASoIaF started going downward after the 3rd book. Go ahead and keep making excuse on why this fat frick should be praised despite giving up over half way in because he wrote himself into a hole for a series he spent almost 30 years crafting.
>generational wealth for his family
he's a genetic dead end, there is no family to pass the wealth to. Ironically Elden Ring is the biggest thing he's ever had his name attached to and he barely did anything
>Hack R. Fraud
Does he steal people's credit card info online or something?
No, I will not apologize to Gabe Newell for not making Half-Life 3 and locking Alyx behind niche, overpriced hardware.
Women moment the game
Every cool part of elden ring's backstory was either ripped from previous Dark Souls games or from Tolkien, I still don't know what this fat frick actually contributed other than making the demigod names hard to remember
They paid to use his name in the advertising.
He definitely added some hermetic symbolism into it, and let's be honest, Lordran was not that interesting any deeper than surface level. He may be a hack but he knows how to worldbuild
supposedly he wrote like this huge fricking manuscript with tons of lore and shit for when the world was alive, and fromsoft said "okay thanks george" and threw like 90% of it away except for the moronic naming conventions
As a world builder, he's totally right
This is true. Knowing the process to make something ruins immersion. It's why you don't get as absorbed into games anymore. You started seeing the 1s and 0s.
... Until you read World Trigger and reread it and KNEEL
this is extremely true and why i hate behind the scenes shit, i like pretending the worlds actualy exist and are devoid of human creators
See
He is kinda right. If you knew how many times I have cum to my own female chars you probably wouldn't want to touch them with a 10 foot pole.
>has the breakfast buffet on his mind even when talking about books
Put the fork down.
That's one of the few actually good food analogies out there. I guess he is no hack after all, there's wisdom behind him.
this is the videogames board why is he getting posted here
Show some respect kid. Without him, Elden Ring would not have been made
you know the only contribution he had on the game and it's lore was the beginning cutscene and his name on the marquee and literally nothing else?
He's the guy responsible for everything interesting about Elden Ring's story. Fromsoft commissioned him to create the world and characters up to the end of the Shattering, and Fromsoft developed the game from there.
That means he wrote:
Marika and Radagon
Rennala, Ranni, Rykard, and the other one
Farum Azula and the Ancient Dragons
The Nox and the Gloam Eyed Queen
All the symbolism and overarching themes
and literally the Elden Ring and Erdtree itself
This is some nice cringe. I don't like Elden Ring, either, so this explains why.
only cringe here is you lamegay
But what was Radagon's tax policy?
I actually asked myself that yesterday. Someone should tweet GRRM and see what he says. Then again Marika controls a tree that drops magic maple syrup from its branches and is worshipped as a god so maybe the Golden Order doesn't even need to ask for taxes.
FINISH BOOK FAT MAN
After I finish my Applebees leftovers
I did apologize, after it won goty and miyazaki heaped a lot of credit on him. Its the only grrm property I’ve experienced, but, credit where credit is due.
THE LESS SHE SHAT

SUNDOWN FOUND HER STANDING, BREECHES DRY AS SAND
I will never forgive Gabe. Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
His only contribution was making sure that there was a character that ate literal shit
honestly thought this thread meant he was announcing Winds of Winter would be releasing soon and got a bit excited
Should have known better
Both because of the Elden Ring news and because this fat frick will never finish those books
>honestly thought this thread meant he was announcing Winds of Winter would be releasing soon and got a bit excited
I really believe that Martin is stuck at around 75% and not entirely because he's lazy. His process is just too imprecise for the story he wants to tell, his "gardener" style requires he eventually tie the shrubs together to make a coherent plot but he never planned for how.
He isn't stuck, he quit and he did so years ago, likely around 2016 when he realized there was no way for him to complete the story in a satisfactory period of time. Anyone that has even speed-read through the series can tell that two volumes is an impossibly short time to finish the series, it would take at least 3 to 4 in order to bring the story to a satisfactory conclusion. The primary threat of the series hasn't even been INTRODUCED yet, let alone vanquished. He made a frickup by concluding Storm of Swords and instead of having a timeskip continuing right along. FFC and TDWD were both poorly-paced messes and when he stated that they were both originally supposed to be a single book it shows in the work.
Martin is an incredible writer, certainly one of the best in modern day and will go down as one of the greats. However he acquired his fame far too late into his life and he realizes it's not possible to finish his work and has decided to enjoy the twilight of his life. We will almost certainly never receive the answers to the questions we have and it's best to forget about the series and let the old fat bastard enjoy his time because there's a 0% chance it's ever completed.
>will go down as one of the greats
not if he never finishes his series, he'll be remembered as a fat, lazy hack who's supposed magnum opus got a shitty TV series ending. He's effectively released 1 book in almost 25 years, FFC and TDWD were supposed to be a single book
He's going to go down as a bitter, lazy, hack that will be used as an example of what never ever to do as an author.
Martin is a shit writer because he can't stop adding new pointless plotlines for the hell of it. No, we don't need 4 whole chapters of Quentyn Martell dicking around just to see the stupid fricker die without fanfare. No, we don't need to have 2 chapters of Arianne doubting Doran and uselessly trying over and over again to usurp him only for the Dornish status quo to stay the same. That shit could be done offpage. No, we don't need 7472828228 chapters of Arya doing her assassin training either. In fact why do Arya even need to become a super assassin at all? Her being an assasin wasn't in his original outline so it has never been necessary. No, why the frick do we have to introduce yet another apocalyptic threat in the form of Euron Greyjoy when we already have one in the form of the Others? The fricking plot keeps splitting off in a billion directions and going off on tangents. The fatman can't trim the fat for shit.
kinda makes you wonder what the frick his editors are actually doing. or if he even has any.
why does he spend his last days having imaginary arguments with Tolkien and Robert Jordan than finishing his series?
Because he's insecure. He also spent more than a few entries detailing the number of authors that never finished their final works. He's just trying to assure himself. This is why I generally no longer read an author's works unless they are finished. No reason to waste time on a plot that will never be completed.
>He'll go down as one of the greats despite not finishing his series, never intending to so and his last few books having terrible pacing ruining what came before
What the frick do people see in these books
>his last published lines for his series will be about his female heroine shitting herself
a fitting metaphor for GRRM and his ASOIAF tbh, it fits what his legacy will be
not unless you're an autist on Ganker, the rest of the world sees him as a successful writer of one of the most popular TV shows on the planet.
the rest of the world see him as a fatfrick who couldn't finish his books in time and let the showrunners ruined the adaptation
the rest of the world no longer cares about GRRM, lol
his tv show house of the dragon is very popular and people say HBO is redeeming themselves.
Its still just a drop in the bucket compared to asoiaf's popularity at its peak
You couldn't go anywhere without hearing about GoT in 2011-2015 be it coworkers, colleagues, friends, family... That can't be said for HotD. I honestly forgot it was even out. Sure, I bet people are watching it out there, but I don't hear them. It's sort of like Simpsons in the past 24 years, it's apparently getting viewers, but who are they? Nobody knows.
Bots and outright lying about watch statistics
it's not out right now it hasn't been airing for 2 years
That doesn't make it better. I didn't hear anything about it 2 years ago by people in real life.
Akshewally it's the excerpt chapter where 11 year old Arya makes out with a 30y/o man, feels his crotch and tries to seduce him.
He's a terrific writer, not having finished it doesn't change his writing abilities. He's just an old man that decided to be lazy instead of finishing his work, he's still quite brilliant and if he were having this tantrum 30 years ago I'd believe he'd change his mind. But he's just too late in the game for that now
they are fun to read. the characters are interesting and the world is intriguing.
>frogboy already bbq'd on his mission to recruit dany
>arianne being sent to try and join aegon right before dany finally heads to westeros
>tyene going undercover at the sept right as the high sparrow reforms the faith militant and kicks them into overdrive
>obara bringing a pissed off kingsguard on a wild goose chase built on a lie specifically to hide dorne's frickup
>nym being sent directly to the small council after cersei's ritual humiliation and inevitable descent into psychosis
it's like doran is surgically and methodically trying to get every single one of them killed. it's actually kinda hilarious.
The series becoming so massively bloated is the hallmark of a bad writer.
>goes down as one of the greats
>gives up 3/4ths of the way in because he wrote too much unnecessary shit from side plotlines to additional characters
Those who are great already have a clear idea on where to bring their characters. They make compromises and limit the scale to complete the story that is needed to be told.
what this guy said.
Because Tolkein was a very humble devoutly religious man who kept his opinions private and knew how to write a complex world but with a simple narrative with his books that anyone can enjoy from beginning to end. Even something like Dune, he only told a friend privately via a letter that he wasn't a fan of it and only long after his death did those written messages get released to the public by his estate.
GRRM got wiff of a lucrative offer and completely abandoned his series for trips to high end buffet lines on private cruises.
You think he had something to do with Ranni's writing? Lore wise she's pretty evil, murdering her stepbrother and inadvertently starting a terrible war of succession. By the time we meet her she's a tsundere doll that really just wants to help. It's like they were written by different teams.
>By the time we meet her she's a tsundere doll that really just wants to help
u onlyh thing that cause u want doll pusy
I think Ranni is the character he wrote best. Her entire backstory and motivation can be boiled down to her trauma over Radagon leaving his family behind for Marika. It's possible she was betrothed to Godwyn. (Prince of Death, Princess of Caria) and that's why she killed him. This also explains her revulsion at the Two Fingers control.
She's like Sansa and Dany Targaryen rolled into one character.
ooc we know for a fact he wrote the Carians because Miyazaki has gone on record and said Rykard was his favorite character that George presented them with.
>By the time we meet her she's a tsundere doll that really just wants to help. It's like they were written by different teams.
Everyone you interact with along the way on her questline gets murdered, not by Ranni herself but I can see GRRM writing that.
did he finally hire someone to complete the book series?
Watch Elden Ring be a stealth distant sequel to Game of Thrones. Dragons gained intelligence and suppressed humanity. Humanity relearns to harness magic and takes over. Descendant of the children of the forest grows a giant golden Weirwood tree

How many more scatological references is he gonna add?
I thought this was a shoop featuring a nice shiny niggress ass
Mi-Mi-Miya*sputters as he loses oxygen* MITSUBISHI-san, I am a VERY busy man, you must understand *eats* I am as of late working quite diligently on my newest book, The *fart* The WINDS of Winter, *sweats loudly* I have only so much time to devote to your little electronic amusement.*hacks up chicken bone* But what I find TRULY egregious, based on the material you have provided me, and *belches* based on your PREVIOUS work, is the complete lack of believable World-Building. In particulaaaaaaaarrrrrr*heart stops for 20 seconds* the complete LACK of any description of Lord Gwyn, who is a KING I suppose *snort* having ANY kind of discernible tax policy! His capital, Anal London I believe you so quaintly named it *chuckles* seems to be quite grandiose, aye? But how does he PAY for it all? Flying buttresses ah yes, great big knights patrolling around, who pays for THOSE? *urine stain slowly spreads on shorts* You've got to THINK about these things, man, or else I won't get any work done at all! *falls into diabetic coma*
>*sweats loudly*
Always get me.
House Martell is so fricked. Nothing ever goes right for them. They're even going to join Aegon before Dany arrives.
good. SandBlack person race traitors deserve to be exterminated. It's funny how Martin raged against Texan border guards when his own works prove that guarding your border against sand people are important.
how can they both be sandBlack folk and race traitors
The daynes are race traitors
the original Martells were white. They married into sandBlack person royalty and helped them conquer Dorne.
Why is he standing in front of a black man’s ass?
buck ready to be broken
Pseuds give this homosexual WAY more attention than he deserves
GRRM is no longer involved with Elden Ring, all he did is just making the game world, while the rest is done by Fromsoft
