If you like me find yourself spending most nights playing Overwatch, you probably already know about Sombra. Sombra is featured in a ton of the media for Overwatch. Shes in many of the levels. And there have been several hints to her identity from in game voice lines, pictures, and behind the scenes stuff.
Sombra
Well now we know shes probably coming this month to an Overwatch team near you.
[ARCHIVE] Communications Records of Ziegler, A. – Overwatch File 00231 – Security Classification: CONFIDENTIAL pic.twitter.com/lLAxTL2DhO
and that will probably be her gun. In case you dont want to read the text (it is kinda small) here it is
“While Torbjörn has, as ever, put forth a very clever design for his latest weapon, I would like to remind everyone that my intention when agreeing to the development of different biotic delivery mechanisms was to save the lives of Overwatch agents and others in need of medical aid. With this latest proposal, it is clear to me that we are on the slippery slope to modifications that will inevitably result in a weaponized version of this technology: something that I have been completely opposed to from the beginning.”
So what’s a Sombra anyways?
We don’t know a whole lot about this new character, but what we do know is this
She’s Pharah’s mother
She’s an Overwatch founder
She’s going to be a long range healer
Her gun might be dual mode with a heal and a damage ability
Neogaff has a long thread that puts together all of the evidence that Sombra is going to be the new character revealed later this month. Its pretty good reading but Neogaff is known to jump to conclusions on things that they dont really know about. So take it with a LARGE grain of salt.
Jeff Kaplan muddied the waters even more and made Neogaff seem smart when last week he told Eurogamer “We have put a lot of hints, all over the game and out of the game, so I would say it’s about time that people are concerned with who Sombra is.”
So it sure seems like Sombra is going to be the next member of Overwatch, but we will have to wait a little bit to find out.
What you dont know about Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni is probably good for you. Girls who are literally powered by “pleasure” to turn in to weapons to fight things. Needless to say, your beloved girl loving pervert of a managing editor loves it. So strap in, sit down, get ready for lewd action. Because, If you ever felt like what was missing in your life was weaponised girls powered by pleasure then boy do we have news for you! Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni is coming to the west for Playstation Vita both physically and digitally in 2016!
Girls, pleasure and guns?
For those who are less perverted than me, a short explanation. In the world of Valkyrie Drive, a group of girls have been infected with the mysterious Armed Virus. When infected, the girls either become Extars who transform into high powered weapons when “stimulated”, or Liberators who after triggering a transformation, have the power to wield the Extar’s weapon form, the Liberator Arms.
Basically you have cute girls, feeling up other cute girls to turn them in to weapons. These weapons are then used to fight against monsters, and gain experience and level up. Previously this existed only in the world of shadily torrented anime, but it seems that PQube have decided that the world needs heroes, with boobs, that when played with turn in to guns? Sorry, lost my train of thought there, too busy thinking about oppai. \
Just thinking about those oppai
But what about the game?
Ok, so there is more to this than just the girls, there is a whole game after all. PQube describes the game as:
“high octane busty brawling and an awesome aerial based combat system with pleasure based weaponry and destructible clothing. This is the cheeky third person action game you have been waiting for ALL your life!”
Sounds fun to me! Based on the show (Which I of course watched all of for the plot) the game should mostly be a beat em up. I imagine the “stimulus” part will be shoved in to a minigame so as to make it seem less creepy.
Here are the rest of the games “features”, but who are you kidding your just here for the girls arent you?
When two girls get it on – one girl turns into a super weapon
Wield your incredible pleasure powered weapons to take on hordes of enemies
Ultra-fast hack and slash action with a focus on stylish aerial combos
Power up your weapons by turning on your girlfriends
Weapons can be leveled up in strength up to 15 times – getting bigger and more awesome looking every time
Take your favourite girls into the dressing room and rub and touch to raise their levels
Choose between 7 playable characters to master
Return of the clothing destruction system – clothes get more ripped the more you fight
28 Story Missions to tackle – with high quality anime visuals
Battle it out in arena based online multiplayer – up to 4 player
If you havent seen One Punch Man yet, read my reivew first, then scream with childish excitment. Why? Becuase Toonami, that revived block of anime and awesome on Saturday nights, is bringing it to you. Leave it to my own beloved Viz media to take this amazing show to the masses. VIZ Media and Adult Swim’s Toonami team made the announcement before a packed audience of fans at the nation’s largest anime convention Anime Expo held this past weekend in Los Angeles.
If you Missed AX dont worry, its mostly jsut news and famous people. If you missed One Punch Man this is a great time to catch up on it!
“One-Punch Man is a one of a kind show and we’re excited to have it join our Toonami line-up,” said Jason DeMarco, senior vice president and creative director, on-air for Adult Swim. “We know our viewers have been hoping this would happen for a while, and we’re thrilled to have been able to make it happen!”
I for one am incredibly excited to see one of my favorite shows on Toonami on saturday nights! Its one of the only reasons I still have cable!
2011 was a big year for a lot of people. Many huge events happened that year, so it can be forgiven if you didn’t notice Flying Wild Hog publishing their love story to old school atmospheric cyber punk shooters, which they called Hard Reset. The game was a love story to the old slower paced atmospheric shooter. No regenerating health, a boat load of weapons, and a complex story that involves tons of cut scenes in a comic book style of narrative. Now they are back with Hard Reset Redux.
This game has a story but if you asked me what it was I wouldn’t be able to tell you, not because the story wasn’t good, but because I was way too busy killing robots with the games insane array of weapons to pay attention to it. I am reasonably sure most gamers could entirely skip the cut scenes (and no doubt many will) and still derive the same amount of intense enjoyment that I did from blasting robots and giant bosses.
Look at the size of this one!
If you have ever playedPainkiller, or you are familiar with the work of people can fly (bullet storm), then you can expect a lot more of the same out of this game. Its basically a simple formula played out well in an expansive world that we really don’t get to know much about. Hordes of enemies swarm our protagonist who has but a load of guns to beat them back with. These guns are fantastically unique, and none of them really just “shoot bullets” but instead might shot lightning, homing rockets, or even create a mine that site on the ground waiting for an enemy to come.
What you will not find in this game, is cover, regenerating health, or any of the other trappings of most modern shooters. This is a classic FPS, one that had it come out in the late 90s would have been called a Doom clone. You are big, strong and fast, you have many weapons, and must kill many enemies. Are you getting the idea yet? That is what this game is, it’s a classic scifi romp through the long hallways of shooter history. At a time like this that’s full of generic yearly installments off the same set of games, this type of game play is so refreshing.
Enemies in this game are vicious, one of the biggest improvements from classic to redux is enemy AI, placement, and types. Players of the original hard reset redux will remember enemies chasing them across entire levels. That still happens. I can’t count the number of times I retreated desperately looking for a health pick, running back towards the levels start. Only to take a shot in the back from a pursuing enemy. AI is restless but not plagued by the problems it had in Hard Reset. Most of which were simple clumping issues. Often I would run in to a room of 20 or 30 enemies and simply be hard stuck, having to kite away and try to pull one or two at a time to kill them.This has mostly been fixed in the new game. I no longer feel like I have to pull enemies, kiting is still very necessary, but that’s just the kind of game this is.
You can shoot Chain Lightning from the NRG
Most of your time is going to be spent going back and forth and shooting. That being said I still died. Like a lot. Not Dark Souls level, but way more than most FPS games. I consider myself to be pretty good at FPS games. Hard Reset Redux made me reconsider that notion.
Though many players may think at the start they get only two weapons, the game actually provides a huge diversity of weapons via the “modes” these two guns can change in to. The CLN (read like clean) and NRG (energy) are the two bases of your arsenal. On top of this you get sort of like mods, where you upgrade the guns to shoot grenades, rockets, rail gun shots, chain lightning, or shields. There is a dizzying diversity of different things your two base guns can do. The modes for the guns are able to be changed on the fly, so there is really no worry of being locked in to one weapon. I found myself mostly using the rail gun feature of the NRG weapon and the rocket launching capabilities of the CLN.
This ended up being my play style but some players may opt for better or more configurations or just to try different things sometimes to kill larger swarms. Redux also adds a super powerful melee attack in the form of a “cyber katana”. I found it next to useless, but some players may appreciate the classic melee style combat system of slash, slash, slash. It is a really cool weapon, but I feel its totally unneeded.
Upgrades to the gun are unlocked with the games in game currency “nano” which you get for killing stuff. Dead enemies drop a wealth of items, which shine with pretty particle effects. Drops are quite abundant, and I really appreciate that in each of the games levels there is at least one Doom style secret room, usually full of armor and nano. There are no shortages of money sinks in this game either. Frequently you will encounter terminals that offer you upgrades, to your gun, health, shield, and armor.
The bulk of the game can’t be played without grabbing some of these upgrades so killing the hordes of enemies has a real tangible feel to it. Each upgrade makes you a little bit stronger. While its not that satisfying major power boost like you would get with say, Diablo III, it still feels good.
Boss fights are major productions, like Zelda but with guns. I was actually able to capture a whole boss fight at PAX east, and you can see that video here. I didn’t get to play that boss fight but what I got from watching it was the sense of scale, the player is this lone warrior left, fighting the huge mega army of almost never ed
The major attractor here is going to be the old school run and gun gameplay. If you were a fan of say Doom, or Star Wars Dark Forces, this game is going to feel like home. Its easy to settle in here play a level or two and forget that its 2016, where most shooters have to have regenerating health, and a classes you select from the start, and multiplayer.
The game never sells itself out in this respect; you get what’s on the box, a shooter in the style of old school shooters. There aren’t any turret sequences, there aren’t any escort missions, this is a game devoted to the art of old school shooters. If you like me enjoy the feeling of playing a walking human tank, then this game is going to be right up your alley.
I often found myself feeling giddy after each fight, as I would run around collecting the glowing leavings on my just finished carnage. The Redux version of the game has a brand new graphics engine, and it shows. Textures are tighter, lighting is a bit toned down (it is after all cyber punk) and the AI is much improved.
Slow movement form the original redux has been removed, and the player now zips around a rate somewhere between Master Chief and Doom Guy. Players now move faster than the robot hordes, and so its easier to kite enemies. There is also the silly cyber katana to use if you get in close.
So if your looking for an old school shooter, that feels right out of blade runner, has a cool diversity of weapons, huge boss fights, and an awesome world, Hard Rest Redux is probably for you. If you were a fan of Pain Killer or Serious Sam, this is the type of game you will love. These games have become few and far between with the prominent style of shooter switched over to the more modern cover based or fast COD like shooter, so its refreshing to see a AAA effort at an older style. I think this game is worth playing even if you played the first version. That’s just how much difference the upgrades have made. Just be prepared for a few frustrating moments of crap I died again, and some massive hang ups at boss fights!
We dont usually go in for drama here at Brokenjoysticks, but this particular story is honestly too egregious not to report on. I can not confirm any of this information personally, but I encourage you to watch both of the videos and give careful thought to what you do with your money.
Seems like we cant go a week with out some fresh new drama popping up in the world of big money YouTube. Scandals seems to be as common as video content itself. YouTuber Honor The call has published two videos where he alleges Trevor Martin (Tmartin) is running CS:GOlotto.com. I say alleges, becuase nothing is proved at this point, but there is some pretty damning evidence.
You can see quite clearly in this image taken from the video, that Trevor Martin (aka Tmartin) is the Director or officer at Csgolotto inc, which is a business registered in Orlando florida with its address listed as the same home address known to be Tmartin. Even the BBB of Florida seems to indicate that there is a company registered to Mr. Trevor Martin in Orlando Florida whihc is called CSGOLOTTO inc. Amazingly it actually gets worse from there. Tmartin owning a business that sells CS:GO gambling skins it self insist a problem. The problem comes in when we start to look at the videos that he made. Though those videos have been taken private at this time, records exist of them on various other videos. These videos show that Tmartin told his over 8 million subscribers about a “new” site he just discovered in the form of CSGOlotto.com and the internet never forgets.
So what do we have here? Each of these records clearly show that Trevor owns CSGOLOTTO, and more so that itsallviral (which is also owned by Tmartin) is another principal owner of the company. This itself isitn a huge issue, business themselves often diversify by investing or building other companies. The problem is that Tmartin failed to disclose that he was the owner of the site. The problem is that he made several videos of himself gambling on the site, promoting the site, and winning large pots, with out ever disclosing that he was an owner on the site. This brings up a myriad of problems including the fact that if Tmartin has access to the backside of the site, he can simply make himself the winner for those videos.
There can be no question that this lack of disclosure is a violation of FTC’s rules on disclosure for online video promotions. Not only that but honestly its just one of the most scummy things you could ever do. The fact that you would do something like direct people to a website you own that exists only for gambling, is so reprehensible that it has attracted the notice even of H3H3. Brokenjoysicks does not endorse online gambling in any way at all, but this is by far the worst of all methods of doing so.
Its that time of the year, the sun is up, the grills are on. And, if your like me your greatly anticipating the start of Summers installment of Games done Quick. Summer Games Done Quick is the summer installment of GDQ. GDQ is a charity event this year benefiting Doctors Without Borders. During the week long 24 hour stream dozen of games are run and thousands of dollars donated.
Games Done Quick always features an amazing cast of speed runners, and since 2010 they have raised over 10 million dollars for charity. With games spanning genres from Zelda, to System Shock, and age from NES to modern PC. This year opens with Mario Sunshine, which runner “Bounceyboy” should complete in under 90 minutes. After that first bit of fun, the speedruns will run non-stop 24 hours a day until July 9th when they will wrap up with a speed run of Super Mario RPG.
Modern Games are some of the most fun to watch.
So what is speed running anyways?
You can think of speed running as player vs programming, at least on the non-too assisted side, player try to exploit how the game is made, in order to make faster runs and be able to shave seconds off of their time. The interesting part is how they beat the game, and how the runner entertains the audience. Many time running the game means breaking it completely and its not uncommon to see runners do things like go out of the level, or through the floor intentionally. Its always fun to get a look at how breaking a game can make it faster, and a glimpse in to the mind of the runners that create these runs. Often a world record speed run is a matter of seconds, or even frame perfect microsecond. More than once records has been set right on an AGDQ stream!
When should I tune in?
You can see the full schedule here. Fan Favorites usually include any Zelda game(Friday, July 8th at 8pm for my favorite OOT), and the Mega Man block of games(starts tomorrow at 4pm). I myself will be setting aside time to watch Metroid prime today at 7:45pm, Spyro the Dragon tomorrow at 4pm, and a few more next friday night and Saturday. During the week I usually just keep the stream on in the back ground to support the stream.
Who am I supporting then?
Games Done Quick has always been for a good cause. Previous years have supported CARE, Prevent Cancer, Autism Research, and Doctors With out Borders. This year the AGDQ staff again selected Doctors With Out Borders for their charity of choice. 100% of fan donations go directly to charity. This is one of the few times that being a fan of video games can make a difference, as each tweet, each share, and each donation, helps charity. Last year at Summer Games Done Quick over one million dollars was raised for the Prevent Cancer Society. Lets have a great Summer AGDQ and I hope to see you out there in the stream!
We brought you news of the Xbox and PC officially getting hitched right from the Xbox Media Conference. Now Microsoft have decided to send out official invitations. Polygon confirmed today that the feature will go live September 13. Early titles that we know are going to be a part of this program include Halo Wars 2, Forza Horizon 3, and Gears of War 4. I am sure there will also be many, many other titles to come, but that’s what we know so far.
The feature lets you buy a game on Xbox One and get the PC version free or vice versa. GAMING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. (ok well maybe it wont change at all), Microsoft also says that game saves and achievements are available across devices.Play Anywhere requires Windows 10’s new Anniversary update, which lands on August 2. Additionally, Xbox One users will need the new summer update, which is coming soon.
It seems that what we did miss at the Xbox Presser was that ReCore which launches September 13th. Other supported games will include Forza Horizon 3 (September 27), Gears of War 4 (October 11) and Halo Wars 2 (February 17, 2017). Thats all we got so far, but I think its pretty safe to assume that all Microsoft developed products will now include Xbox Play Anywhere.
Sony has said they do not plan on introducing a similar program anytime soon. Recall PlayStation president Andrew House’s words just a short month ago:”I always hesitate to be drawn into discussions of someone else’s strategy. I’m more than happy to talk about our own strategy. Yes, there was a big emphasis from the folks at Microsoft on Xbox and PC cross-play. It remains to be seen whether there is latent large consumer demand for that.”
So there you go. Will this change what you think about Xbox vs Playstation? will it finally convince you Console hold-outs that a PC is a good idea? Tell us what you think on Facebook and Twitter.
If you know me, you know I am no stranger to Visual Novels (VN’s). I write news about them. I review them. My steam is full of them! So obviously I love VN’s. I am obviously not the only one who is an admirer of the medium. Degica has decided to bring the experience of creating Visual Novels to Steam this summer.
The Makers
Degica is no stranger to maker games, being responsible for the massive RPG maker series so loved by amateur game programmers. So i makes sense that they would publish a similar tool for Visual Novels. Degica describes the new game as “their latest installment to the ‘Maker’ series of game development tools”. Now as far as I know this is one of only two of their tools, but hopefully its a step in a direction towards a world where Degica has a ton of maker tools. I would love to see FPS maker 2016, or similar things. Now this Tokyo-based publisher specializing in localizing Japanese games for the global market is expanding to allow you to make your own!
The tool
Visual Novel Maker is Degica’s answer to the new, exploding demand for VN content from the US. According to Degica, it features:
Beautiful, free to use assets to get you started.
Dynamic creation tools aimed for artists and writers.
Scripting and Extension for user-integrated functionality.
Live2D and voice sync support.
Multiple resolution support.
Multiple exporting options.
Easy Game Localization tool.
The game will launch this Autumn on Steam, and fans can expect it to cost around 20USD$.
I hope that this tool is as easy to use as RPG maker, ill be reaching out to Degica in the coming weeks to see if we can get our hands on a review copy, which I am sure I will want to play with extensively, and then bring you a review!
G2A has been getting a ton of attention recently. Their most recent scandal was that they may have sold 45,000$ of Tinybuild games. which we wrote about here. G2A have responded to the accusations and the fight goes on. But, this is only the most recent of scandals that G2A have had to weather. Second party markets all over the internet have come under fire for selling stolen keys.
As a member of press I often have to deal with people asking me to send them email from a non-personal email address. This is why our domain email exist. Developers especially of the indie variety have to protect their games from pirates. Most indie studios run on very small budgets and 45,000$USD is a huge amount to any of them. Even the larger ones like Tiny Build.
So what are they doing about it
G2A have announced that they will pilot a program where developers get paid for their resold games.
revealed to Eurogamer but currently absent from its official sites, the new service will offer developers up to 10% of all sales made through the site. This is actually HUGE to developers if it ends up working. Customers will also be able to pay devs directly through a separate button on the game’s G2A page.
Additionally, and at least in my opinion, more importantly. G2A have promised to grant developers access to its databases. This will help publishers track stolen, or acquired keys. And, hopefully track them back to their source, and shut it down.
But whats the real problem?
Key reselling is nothing new, since the days of Funcoland companies have existed to warehouse unwanted games. Now that we live in an age of digital games, those physical warehouse are gone. However with bundles and other things all over the place, many people end up with spare keys. This is why places like G2A exist. That type of behavior is not the problem, the problem is major credit card fraud. A stolen credit card can be used to but 100 or so keys, then charged back. Those keys can then be sold to G2A and the thief gets cash. Hopefully this feature will assist in tracking down those thieves, and preventing more of this from happening.
Today is finally the day, Telltale Publishing announced the release of hit survival horde crafting game 7 Days to Die on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Telltale have teamed up with the developer The Fun Pimps (yes that’s their actual name), to bring this horror game to consoles.
7 Days to Die is now available in stores at retail and digitally in North America on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4, the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One. As an added bonus the game will also be available starting July 1st both digitally and at retail for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Europe.
The console version of 7 Days to Die adds a new multiplayer mode supporting local split-screen for couch play. The game will also be supported by exciting DLC content, beginning with a Walking Dead skin pack featuring characters from the Telltale series, set to release in the coming weeks.
Set in a brutally unforgiving post-apocalyptic world overrun by the undead, 7 Days to Die is an open-world survival game that is a unique combination of first person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and role-playing games. Players will have to master combat, crafting, looting, mining, and exploration to succeed. This is a particularly fun game to stream and make video content for as its full of fun moments, and exciting adventure.
Steve Allison, SVP Publishing at Telltale, Inc, said about the games current popularity:
“7 Days to Die has already proven to be wildly popular with over 1.5 million PC users worldwide, and we’re thrilled to be expanding this unique take on the survival genre to console players everywhere. The Fun Pimps have created something special with this title. The way the game seamlessly combines elements from disparate yet complementary genres, it all comes together in a challenging, terrifying, and above all, enormously fun experience – one that we’re incredibly excited to bring to a whole new audience on consoles.”
Sekai Project, in partnership with calme, has today announced that the heartwarming visual novel, KARAKARA is now available on Steam for Windows PC. This one is one that I have been looking forward to for some time. Bishi VN’s are fairly rare. As they tend to be marketed to the much smaller gay male, and female fan bases. So this one is a pretty great find to have coming to Steam.
Developed by calme, KARAKARA is a Bishoujo visual novel set in an alternate, dystopian world where the comfortable and quaint life of Leon and Lucia, two hardworking diner owners, takes an interesting turn of fate when they discover an unconscious young woman passed out on the side of the highway. Together, the three will take a courageous step forward to forge a new life in a world reborn.
About KARAKARA
Sekai decribes KARAKARA as:
“KARAKARA. It is the sound of aridity. It is the sound of dry asphalt and sandy winds. It is the sound of relentless sunshine, as well as the sound of a withering race.”
The VN gakes place in the “Age of Dusk.” It is a time of senescence for the human species, during which hybrids known as the “Others”—those who are human, yet not—exist in great numbers.
On the windswept barrens of a land without moisture, a small gathering of people make their living in a world they no longer know. Down a stretch of highway and far from the heart of the town are two such people who run a small diner. To them, the circumstances that reshaped their world is of far less concern than the number of lunch boxes they can load into their delivery vehicle. After all, leaving customers hungry is not good for business, and business keeps them fed. Day after day, they occupy themselves with the endless work of their diner. However, the comfortable monotony of their daily lives is turned on its head when they discover a large suitcase by the roadside on their way home from deliveries. Lying on the suitcase, unmoving, is a young girl with pink hair…
Though parched, they keep each other company, and while once hollow, they fill each other’s voids. So shall they live on this land so arid.
Sounds pretty intresting! KARAKARA is now available on Steam for $9.99 with a 20% off discount for the first week. A demo for KARAKARA is also available on Steam.

Personally I think this game looks amazing, Ill be at least taking a farther in depth look at it for sure later one.
Well kids, that was a hell of a ride, if you havent seen Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10, stop reading now.
You have been warned: SPOILERS AHEAD.
So what a season we have just had. Jon is back alive, back in the north, with Sansa, and the Lords of the North. Down South Cersei has killed well everyone? Basically and Danny is on her way to Kings Landing with an army of Dothraki screamers, and Iron Born reavers. Woah thats a lot of process oh yah, and also Arya is murdering her way through her list finally!
So lets break this down. First of all, this has got to have been one of the bloodiest episodes since the Red Wedding. The opening was masterfully done, Loras Tyrell’s confession and profession of his faith to the council of septum, followed up with the lack of Cersei Lanisters presence. It was all just so dam good. The attempted last minute flight of Margaery Tyrell from the sept, only to be stopped by the faith militant, hemmed in to her death. I loved how her façade of piety shattered and she tried to save them all.
Of course her attempts ended up being for nothing, the sept exploded, everyone inside died, and Cersei gained control of kings landing and presumably what ever is left of the seven kingdoms in one swoop. I loved the scene where Tommen bereft of anyone to comfort him, or help him, just walked out a window. It was masterfully done. I dont think Cersei planned that one.
So we ended up left with a kings landing on fire, and a mad queen who’s crowning ceremony may have been the darkest part of the show to date. The lighting was fantastic in this episode, and those shoulder pads! Cersei now has the wardrobe to go with her evil smile.
Meanwhile up in the North a 12 year old is shaming all of the great northern lords. At this point you have to love the tiny queen of Bear Island, shes just such an amazing character. John Snow (who we have confirmed to be a Targaryan) is now King in the North. Hopefully things go better for John then they went for the last King in the North. Perhaps he should avoid getting married?
Arya is back, this time in angry stabby mode, having already killed the Waif in Bravos, she is now back in and has made fast work of the Freys, killing the two sons, and putting them in a pie, and just slitting the old ones throat. I personally loved seeing Arya get her revenge, but cant help but wonder where shes headed now that (mostly) everyone she hates is dead.
I have no doubt left out quite a bit, as a scant 500 word summary of the most action packed 90 minutes of this year is really quite a task to complete. But, I think I hit on most of the big points, I loved the scene of Cirie being crowed while a horrified Jamie looked on. I cant help but wonder what the future holds for them, as Jamie has seemingly grown farther and farther away from his one time sister-lover. Does Jamie know his last child is dead? Will that effect his relationship with Circie since she essentially killed Tommen?
The final shot of the season is a masterfull one. We see ships, oh so many ships, With sails painted with the Red Dragon of the old house Targaryan, the rose of house Tyrell, and the red sun of Dorn all headed for an already beaten up kings landing. Since Cersei also presumably blew up most of the Tyrell hose guards and host, all thats left to defend kings landing is a skeleton force of no doubt very tired foot soldiers of Casterly Rock. Not much trouble for three dragons and the combined host of the Tyrells, Dronish, and Dothraki.
I personally love this new murdery Cersei but I see the echos of the mad king in her, the burning everyone, the lack of caring about family, and the fact that Jamie is no doubt going to be close by her side, and that he already killed one mad ruler, can not be ignored.
With only two confirmed to be shorter seasons left, and with the fate of a promised movie now in question, I cant help but wonder where all of this is going.
