By Will Fulton November 20, 2014

Telltale Games has shared a brief trailer for its upcoming Game of Thrones episodic adventure game. It provides an early look at some of the characters and locations that are featured in the series. It also confirms the veracity of the supposed screenshots that were leaked recently.

Familiar faces glimpsed in the trailer include Tyrion and Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, and Ramsay Bolton doing what Ramsay Bolton does best: torture. We also get a few quick glances at the Iron Throne, the Wall, and Ironrath, the ancestral seat of House Forrester, the family around whom the game’s story centers. You control five characters associated with the house, all of whose lives will intersect from all over Westeros and Essos to shape the fate of House Forrester as their surrounding countryside descends into chaos after the Starks fall from power in the north.

This new Analogue Pocket looks just like my actual Game Boy Color

Six Analogue Pockets lined up in a row with Game Boy Color colors.

Analogue is unleashing yet another nostalgic Pocket onto the world. The handheld manufacturer announced Tuesday that it's releasing a limited-edition Game Boy Color line that'll go on sale September 12 on its website and start shipping on September 16.

The new Analogue Pocket comes in six nostalgic colors: kiwi, teal, grape, gold, berry, and dandelion. I can't speak for how accurate most of the colors are, but I still have my purple Game Boy Color, and the grape color looks delightfully similar. It just has the Pocket's more modern display.
