As 2011 Comes to a Close, Here’s a List of the Top 10 Torrented TV Shows

by Max Eddy | 12:00 pm, December 17th

In this lull in the debate over SOPA, TorrentFreak has released their list of the top 1o pirated TV shows for 2011. HBO’s Game of Thrones had a strong showing with 3.4 million downloads, a full 360,000 more than the estimated US viewership for the series. However, it was blood-splattered Dexter that took the top spot with 3,620,000 downloads — a full 1.4 million more downloads than estimated viewers.

8-Bit Game of Thrones Theme Remix

by James Plafke | 4:11 pm, June 16th

Even though the title sequence lasts nearly two whole minutes — an amount of time that is as long as a commercial break — the theme music for HBO’s Game of Thrones that accompanies that unholy waste of two minutes is actually pretty good, oddly reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’s theme music, though a little less epic. Everyone likes a good 8-bit remix of their favorite music, so I suppose this 8-bit remix of Games of Thrones’ theme music was inevitable. A Lannister always makes 8-bit remixes? Feel free to make a better joke.

Rejoice! Game of Thrones Coming to HBO

by Robert Quigley | 3:58 pm, March 2nd

Get excited: HBO has greenlit A Game of Thrones, ordering a ten-episode series based on the first novel in George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire saga.

Waaay back when, in early 2007, HBO got fantasy geeks excited by buying the rights to A Song of Ice and Fire, but that excitement slowly dissipated when proceedings went pretty slowly (the Wikipedia article on the TV series provides a good timeline; thankfully, we haven’t heard “The Sopranos in Middle-earth” anywhere around the new series yet); now, they’ve been sparked back to life, with the series set to debut next spring.
