Game of Thrones Season 6 Premiere at Metro Al Madina

game of thrones season 6

Game of Throne season 6 is almost here, and if you happen to be a fan of the show then you’re most probably already planning how to watch the first episode as soon as it gets aired on April 25th (Beirut time). At the end, we’re all eager to know Jon Snow’s fate!

Being 19 days ahead of the first episode, I thought I should share a couple of things with the Lebanese fans of the show. First, there’s a group on Facebook called “Game of Thrones – Fans in Lebanon” where Lebanese fans discuss the episodes  and exchange their views of the events, they also respect the time people take to watch the new episodes and refrain from posting any spoilers until Monday night. I recommend you join it if you like to engage in debates about GoT with like-minded people.

Second, the group admins are organizing a screening of the first episode on April 25th in Metro Al Madina Hamra at 6:30PM. So if you would like to watch it with a group of cool people in a near cinema style setting you can call Metro Al Madina on 76-309363 and reserve your seats. Tickets are sold for 10,000L.L with one round of popcorn. You can check all the event details here on Facebook. (Note that the finale will also be

And while we’re at it, I will soon be writing a separate post to share with you the setup I have at home to get the new episodes automatically downloaded as soon as they’re out on the internet, and the media server I use to play them on my TV.

Valar Morghulis!

Update:

The event has unfortunately been cancelled following complaints by OSN.

16 Governmental websites hacked today

Looks like the hack of 4 governmental websites last month was just a warm up. A group called RYV (Raise Your Voice) hacked 16 other websites today morning and left a message asking the government to solve its self-made problems, and encouraging the people to mobilize and stand up for their demands. You can check the full list  of websites here on Pastebin.

“We are RYV, short for Raise Your Voice, and we are simply a group of people who could not bear sitting in silence, watching all the crimes and injustice going on in Lebanon,” the group said.

It vowed to continue hacking the sites until the Lebanese people earn the rights they are asking for and until living standards are improved.

“We will not stop until this government’s self-made problems are solved, like the power shortage, water shortage, rise in gas prices and rise in food product prices,” the group said.

“We are RYV, expect us to break the silence, whether in the streets or on the Internet,” it said, stressing that “silence is a crime.” Source

The message of course speaks our minds (except that nobody is probably ready to mobilize), but I’m not sure how well was that message grasped by our dear politicians!

You can stay up to date with RYV’s latest news through their twitter and Facebook accounts.
