HBO's Game Of Thrones was arguably the finest piece of television 2011 had to offer. Now those folks from across the Narrow Sea at College Humor have taken it to the next level of amazing. They've created a hilarious and extremely detailed version of the show in the form of a 16-bit RPG. A lot of awesome work has gone into this video, so I suggest you stop what you're doing and check it out. Word of warning: it contains spoilers of the entirety of season one of the show.
The only downside of this video is that once it's over, you'll shake your fist to the Old Gods and demand this manifest itself into a real thing. Unlikely as that may be, perhaps we can simply watch this video on repeat until we're dead. But hang on, what is it we say to death? Not today.

Since we don't get any Mad Men til next year I'm inclined to agree, Though we're only 3 eps into Breaking Bad and we still got The Walking Dead this fall, so this could change. But really, Game of Thrones is gonna be hard to top. Avoiding the books til the show is over, which sucks cause now my impatient friends who are reading the books are using their spoilery knowledge to piss me off. Wankers.
Love the video too. I would play it, especially if the sense of humor was kept in.
Yeah, Breaking Bad has been...hmmm...okay so far, but it better be building to something, and fast.
Re: Asoiaf, about to start Dance. I'm hoping it's a massive improvement on Feast, that was a slog where the previous books were compulsive page turners.

College Humor is usually hit or miss--definitely a hit this time.
I watched the whole of dex season 4 knowing that *MASSIVE SPOILER MASSIVE SPOILER* Rita gets murdered and still thoroughly enjoyed it.
There's only 5 books out so far, 6 and 7 are forthcoming. The fifth book, A Dance with Dragons, was just released this July.

Safe to say it's got me hooked. And this was awesome and totally needs to be a real thing that I can play.
