The third link for The Maester's Path is up and rolling; I apologize for not getting info up earlier, but it did not get released until this afternoon when I was actually already in my astro final. C'est la vie. The theme this time is "sight," and in this link you take the black, metaphorically speaking, and try your hand at being a member of the Night's Watch keeping an eye out for wildling invaders. It's got a first-person perspective and is extremely graphics-heavy, as it does a beautiful 3D video-game-esque conception of the Wall and the land beyond, so close out other windows and applications running before trying. Maneuvering is done by mouse only, so if you're on a laptop with just a trackpad it can be a little precarious, but it's doable. For how-tos and general help, check out the comments on this page at fan site Winter Is Coming. It took me a good 15 minutes to get with my trackpad being annoying, but it's very interesting.
The reward this time seemed a little bit shorter than the others, to me, and not quite as intensely interesting, but all clips are good clips so far, at least as far as this series goes. The scene is not particularly momentous but features a character we've already seen, as well as some first glimpses of a few others, and gives us a glimpse at a locale we haven't seen too much of yet. Highlight or copy-paste into a word document to read a summary: Tyrion is at the wall, discussing the growing threat of the coming winter, with what appears to be Maester Aemon and Commander Mormont.
In other news, astro is indeed done, and it went as well as expected. 25% completion of finals! Tomorrow is the take-home art history final, and Wednesday is Italian and turning in my Foucault paper. The worst is basically over, however.
