One of the most memorable “speeches” that’s come out of AMC’s Breaking Bad is the one Walter White (Bryan Cranston) gives about being “The One Who Knocks.”

Now, McSweeney’s has posted what Walt’s speech would have been if it had been written by famous authors like Edgar Allan Poe, George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling, Dr. Seuss, and more.

I’ve listed a few from my favorite authors here below, along with a video of the scene from Breaking Bad (where Walt also says another popular quote, “I am the danger”).

We haven’t seen or heard from Benjen Stark, a ranger of the Night’s Watch, brother to Eddard Stark, and uncle to the Stark children, since early on in season one of HBO’s Game of Thrones before he disappeared. Perhaps more of his story has been told on the pages of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, but for we fans of the show, he remains a mystery.

One fan of the story decided to take things into their own hands and make a fan film dedicated to Benjen, which is titled A Tale of Benjen Stark. The seven-minute short sees Benjen finding the gruesome remains of a wildling camp similar to the one seen in the opening minutes of the show’s pilot episode, only with two survivors hiding nearby.

You can watch the short Game of Thrones fan film below.

If you’ve read author George R.R. Martin‘s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series or have seen the HBO series based on the books, Game of Thrones, then you’re very much aware that there are some horrendously evil characters residing in that world.

So when Martin himself says that the main character of the hit AMC series Breaking Bad, Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), is worse than all of them? Then you know that, well…this. Even crazier, Martin thinks he now has to top White with someone even more evil. Yikes.

Continue below to read Martin’s quote.

Since the start of the HBO fantasy drama Game Of Thrones, fans of the television show have been trying to figure out how its fictional continent of Westeros relates to our lands on Earth. Most people assume that Westeros lines up more with Europe, but what if author George R.R. Martin‘s world was in the United States of America? The folks over at College Humor drew up a map of the U.S. and renamed the States for the lands in Westeros.

The map, titled The United States Of Westeros, obviously shows our neighbors to the North, Canada (you wouldn’t believe how people playing Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? don’t know this), with its vast areas of frozen wasteland, as the area Beyond The Wall, while Washington, D.C. retains its status as the Capitol and political stronghold as Kings Landing. Apparently, I would live in Casterly Rock, the financial center, and Chicago becomes Harrenhal, a place where no one is able to rule for too long.
