'Game of Thrones' may take place in a fantasy-driven world but that doesn't seem to stop the Night King from taking advantage of Google's Chromebook for his White Walkers presentation. Revealed through a Google blog post, this new marketing tie-in showcases the villainous hordes of 'Game of Thrones' using the services of the tech giant. All of this is undercut with Foreigner's 'Cold as Ice' playing in the background and a slideshow showing the demise of mankind.
This marketing tie-in may seem strange for Google, but it serves to accurately show the potential of its Chromebooks. The ad also comes filled with references to the hit HBO show and may even contain some hints to what may come in the final season of the show.
