Remember Those Who Died on Game of Thrones with These 8-bit GIFs
Mesel Isaac — March 3, 2014 — Pop Culture
Graphic designer Antonia Heslop's 8-bit GIFs recreate with surprising accuracy all the bloody mayhem the series Game of Thrones is known for. Warning. They contain spoilers if you're not caught up.
In what I can only assume was an attempt to make the deaths – that seem to occur on an almost half-hour basis – more palatable, Heslop transformed them into cute 8-bit Game of Thrones GIFs. Transforming all the important deaths from season one to season three into pixelated GIFs does make them slightly easier to digest, though the Red Wedding is still hard to watch.
With season four of Game of Thrones coming out in April, what better way to recap all the gory details of who died, than by checking out these game of thrones 8-bit GIFs.
