This is King’s Landing from A Game of Thrones as created through the infinitely variable game Minecraft. The team behind this project has already started on Westeros and aims to map the entirety of Westeros before they’re done. That’s a lot of brothels to build.
Before you consider that enormity, take a gander at some of the more intriguing offsite links. Highlights below the cut include:
- A writer on Mother Jones explaining why Return of the Jedi is actually the best Star Wars film.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation season 8 as told through Twitter.
- A fully detailed model of Hogwarts that’s bigger than your house.
