This Town is Naming Streets After Game of Thrones Characters

The epic fantasy world of Game of Thrones is coming to a small town outside of Boise, Idaho in the form of street names, thanks to a local developer named Jannell Hall of B&A Engineers, Inc.

The new Silver Trail subdivision in Kuna, Idaho will have a pair of streets named after some well-known characters from the popular franchise written by George R.R. Martin.

Sea of Thieves’ patch 1.0.2 goes live today, and with it, Rare is looking to fix one of the biggest issues players are having in the shared-world pirate game – having to fend off an endless number of respawning enemy ships.

In a patch notes post on the Sea of Thieves forums, the developer has listed a number of fixes and changes being introduced in the patch, but first and foremost is the ship respawn distance.
