The game? I've heard that a few times. Is there any idea as to what exactly the game is?
ReplyDeleteMost of our data concerning the Game is classified, though I'll see what I can pull up. In the meantime, P01E07 offers a heavily biased and nihilistic explanation here: http://iamhissteward.blogspot.com/2011/05/grand-game.html
ReplyDeleteGoddamn it. Out of all the websites, I lose the game on THIS one. You guys did that on purpose, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteOh damn it, you had to do that, didn't you. D:
DeleteOh, ha, hahaha, this is just perfect. That is the dog I saw in my dream, and now I know why.
ReplyDeleteThis one has existed for longer than people think.
ReplyDeleteThere're records of it from the medieval period (in particular, one which had it entering a church and killing three or four people inside).
It's also not confirmed to be totally malicious (some records have it merely "padding alongside" or even guiding people away from danger).
They have lived longer than that. All of them. We as mortal human beings cannot possibly comprehend the age and power of Them.
DeleteThey are eternal.
