But I’m pretty sure he had that thought at some point. I wasn’t there in my friend’s final moments. I admit, those probably weren’t his final words. His final words were, “I can’t believe that George R.R. He was a fan of A Song of Fire and Ice and was pissed that the series never got finished. I’ve lost friends and family that looked healthier than George R.R. I thought he was writing himself into an infinite series that would require too many books for his life span.īack in 2012, I would have been surprised to find out that George R.R. I thought Martin’s problem with completing A Song of Ice and Fire was going to be wrapping everything up in two or three more books. Martin might not finish the series, I believed in 2012 that he would at least finish the next book The Winds of Winter.

Statistically, nobody reads my blog now, but at least now I occasionally get a comment when I say something controversial.Įven though I thought George R.R. Back then, nobody noticed because nobody read my blog.

Martin might not finish the Game of Thrones book series, also known as A Song of Ice and Fire. I suggested on this blog way back in 2012 that George R.R. I know several health conscious people, and none of them want to follow the George R.R. That might sound harsh, but he doesn’t look like a healthy guy. Putting aside how very relatable that is, and whether I too could be a millionaire fantasy author if I'd never picked up a controller, it sounds like it's probably for the best that Martin hasn't touched FromSoft's opus, even if it really is very good indeed (opens in new tab).First of all, a part of me can’t believe that famous author George R.R. 'I would get sucked into it: weeks, months would go by, and I'd be sitting there in my red flannel bathrobe saying 'One more game! One more game!''. 'I did play video games a long, loooong time ago,' said Martin, 'I played games like Railroad Tycoon, Master of Orion, and Homeworld'. Martin's answer was fairly boilerplate-though he was apparently surprised that games take as long to make as major motion pictures-but when Colbert asked if he'd actually played the game, Martin said that his 'totally addictive personality' meant that if he tried, our chances of ever seeing The Winds of Winter would become even more remote than they already are. Spotted by GamesRadar (opens in new tab), Martin spoke a little about the work he did on Elden Ring in an interview with Stephen Colbert (opens in new tab), after the host prodded him to talk about his experience constructing the game's cosmology and background lore.
