Waiting for George R.R. Martin to release The Winds of Winter be like...

[@inigo137]

Just a reminder that Winds of Winter is the 6th book, and that there is AN ENTIRE ANOTHER BOOK LEFT

[@kanishknishar]

In the year since he said that 3/4th of the book was done, no progress has been made. So we really don't know if it'll ever come out.

[@tedarcher9120]

Sanderson will finish it

[@groofay]

The real Winds of Winter are the friends we made along the way.

[@ChBrahm]

well considering its soiaf I´d say its the friends we _Lost_ along the way

[@BillHimmel]

@groofay Brilliant one! 😂

[@jaytwokay3265]

"The publishing industry's equivalent of Half Life 3." No statement has ever been more true.

[@HOTD108_]

Which is weird to say since video games get published as well. Valve is a game publisher as well as developer. So, Half-Life 3 is already the Half-Life 3 of the publishing world.

[@laremere]

I was expecting it to end with a joke about now having to wait for A Dream Of Spring. But def appreciate the Rithmatist reference.

[@AlfredoPuente8]

13 years and still he is going to publish it by next year.

[@mateodoris6856]

The saddest part about it is that even if it’s as great as the rest of the series there is no way it will live up to the hype since it will have been just so long

[@benjaminrowland7694]

Yeah it will feel like the end of dance of the dragons. The book may be cool and it may set up a lot of new material and a lot of new content to talk about, but at the same time it will feel like something is undone. That's how I felt with all the cliffhanger battles at the end of dance it felt like the curtain closed before the final act.

[@andresrecchia3600]

The saddest part is that even if it's the best book amongst them all AND manages to live up to the hype... THERE WILL STILL BE ANOTHER BOOK LEFT.

[@faisal5367]

on that I disagree, I have a feeling anytime it get released, asoiaf fans around the world will riot and celebrate wildly like if its just published soon enough. we are yearning for it, we are desperate.

[@irusia1574]

​@@faisal5367yes, I agree, I will be celebrating sooo much 😅

The line about AI authors hurt me in a way I didn’t expect 😂😂 Also, the mental image of a centuries old Sanderson still trolling us with the Rithmatist sequel…

[@jatzi1526]

I literally read the rithmatist today. I thought there was a sequel and I'm very sad

[@stickss22]

I loved rithmatist so much

[@palmsofscience8770]

The older this video gets without the book coming out the funnier it gets.

[@Horizon99100]

I love that you moved to Mars and then to two separate space stations in order to make this video, thank you for your dedication! (but seriously: thank you for your dedication to bringing us the best fantasy book related sketches!) Also totally agree with the sentiment at the end, at some point it just becomes impossible for a book to be worth the wait.

[@genericallyentertaining]

I took the Christopher Nolan approach for this one and did all the effects practically. Glad someone noticed!

[@martin0499]

Watch it be 90% the same as season 6, that would be the best troll

[@Dan-ji4db]

I really wanna reread the first 5 books but I promised myself I wouldn't read them again until tWoW had an official release date. That way i could be fresh on the story for book 6. It's been like 4 years since I made that self promise...

[@athiefinthenight6894]

I'm not gonna read winds of winter (if it ever is released) until either GRR dies or the final book in the series is released. Which is to say, I'm going to wait til he dies before reading it. I give it 10 more years, in the meanwhile I'll just read stephen king or something.

[@brightwatcher3757]

This is the highest form of art I’ve ever encountered.

[@GeorgeKinsill]

Great timing with the Sanderson shout out, as I was just thinking that by this point, Sanderson would have completed a few dozen epic fantasy series.

[@funguykel]

I too have given up on The Winds of Winter.

[@hariman7727]

I gave up on winds of Winter before I read game of thrones. Then again, I'm not a fan of nihilist McLotsOfRape storytelling.

[@fluffynator6222]

​@@hariman7727 All edge, no point?

[@hariman7727]

@@fluffynator6222 pretty much. GRRM wrote an anti Tolkien epic Fantasy that he turned into an epic Fantasy because he wrote a story in that genre. So he either upholds the genre and goes against his principles and his original goals, or he subverts the genre and he makes pretty much the same thing happens that happened with the series.

Sorry, lol.

no cap, I looked at your video, saw a book cover and thought it was released ehh I hope my children will continue the legacy when I die ok that’s too high, maybe grandchildren

[@stickss22]

Literally me with Wise Mans Fear.

[@zacharyeicher390]

At the pace George is going...those AI generated The Winds of Winter are probably the only real "closure" we get. Hell, we might even get AI A Dream of Spring as well.

[@jackdelamarter8432]

Bro these are fucking hilarious 😂 Keep it up.

[@DandDgamer]

Another brilliant skit XD

[@kingsleyedge304]

My opinion is that as long as its good, im willing to wait

[@Atrulion]

The ending is the part I'm most scared of ... it feels like a canon event.

[@jasonscottjenkins]

Maybe he has the whole thing wrapped up and he is just trolling everyone and it will be released upon his death.

[@aelamf]

The boston dynamics wars

[@amampathak]

You make such fantastic skits man!

[@renskedunnewold1995]

The thing I'm taking away is.. I should read the Rithmatist?

[@thenegotiator9609]

yesss read it, don’t expect the sequel tho

[@KonpeitoKoil]

Yes, despite the look of a sequel it's fairly good as a standalone.

[@hallaloth3112]

Gosh, what gets me is the end line. . .because that is what is going to happen. There's what, two more books after Winds of Winter? One? Meaning its likely getting into 'finale set-up territory' There were sections in Dance that felt woefully uncomplete and left hanging in ways that were unnecessary. It's been forever though since I've read it and I kinda don't care to go out and get the books I don't already own.

[@nelsiegeografo9185]

I stopped reading the series after the fourth book when I heard it's not yet finished. I'll get back to it when the whole series is completed.

[@charnel8435]

Im sure doors of stone will came out a year after that

[@BladedEdge]

So what you're trying to say is that writing the book is taking him a while

[@Yesica1993]

This very situation is why I don't want anything to do with series that are not complete! Honestly, that extends to TV series as well. The only current thing I'm watching is Blue Bloods, and that's because I've already been invested for years. But I'm not getting hooked on something new and then they cancel it on me. I'm looking at YOU, "V" remake from 2009, "Terra Nova", and "Almost Human"! Yes, I'm still bitter!

[@davidhamilton676]

This makes me so happy I didn't read the Rithmatist. I hear its amazing, but still.

[@alderdash2469]

I had to stop and check if Boston Dynamics was a real thing, given that Massive Dynamic and Global Dynamics are both sci-fi companies... ...oh, and Massive Dynamic is supposedly in Boston. My brain hurts!

[@BarokaiRein]

I dunno why some people are still high on copium. Winds of winter won't even be the last book so the series will never be finished, its an abandoned story.

[@Nazgul094]

George R.R. Martin already got his fame and money from the TV adaptation. There's no point in actually finishing the story.

Climate change & all our futures write large there, plus the WoW looks like the Obelisk coming out of the heavens, nice maybe we'll evolve after all!

[@hariman7727]

Why would he release a book that is going to sink his career permanently, because it's never going to satisfy everyone and the setup he built means that he must either torpedo the entire story by having everything end like the TV series, or he must give in to the Tolkien style fantasy story and have Jon Snow be the hero? Also I think he's lazy.

[@starryeye6511]

We're never going to see the book, it's been a long long lie 😣
