As a former HBO dev, can confirm that the majority of test cases or random debugging messages are Game of Thrones quotes.

I guess HBO devs are too young to be able to quote The Wire.

Not directly related, but it still enrages me to this day that HBO allowed the two idiots who shall not be named to butcher Game of Thrones. It went from one of the biggest things in popular culture to basically nothing over the span of a few weeks.

  • They created the show in the first place, so it's hard to blame HBO for keeping them.

    • > They created the show in the first place

      Well, "created" may be too big a word here... Transferred it from book to screen, rather.

      As evidenced by the fact that when they ran out of stuff to transfer and started actually creating for themselves, quality took a nosedive.

    • Actually it's not, anyone with half a brain and access to the script should have know it won't work.
