You Wake Up As... Ned Stark

Hello, and welcome to Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. In a new series (being released in Early Access over on Patreon), Sean and Vib are diving back into You Wake Up As, starting with eveyone's favourite doomed hero Ned Stark. So sit back and enjoy as we realise this one is actually, shockingly, really, really easy. Make sure you get in touch and let us know who you'd like us to cover next! Could be absolutely anyone, just send us your ideas. Twitter

You wake up as... Leman Russ

Hello, and welcome to episode 85 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This is the third iteration of our "You wake up as" series where we discuss what we would do if we wake up as fictional or historical characters at a certain point in their lives. We once again find ourselves in the 41st millennium as we awaken as the Wolf King, Primarch of the Space Wolves. The Imperium is a wreck and most of our brothers are gone. Our mission: figure out what in the Emperor's name is happening and sort out all the mess. See you next time for some more absolute nonsense!

You wake up as... Joffrey Baratheon

Hello, and welcome to Episode 26 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This is the first episode in our new segment: "You wake up as" where we discuss what we would do if we wake up as fictional or historical characters at a certain point in their lives. Today, we wake up as the much maligned Joffrey Baratheon just after the atrocity of the Red Wedding. Our task: survive. Can we do it? Almost certainly not. Will we make stupid suggestions? Almost certainly.
