Sixty minutes every Sunday is not nearly enough to quench our thirst for the glory, gore, and dragons of HBO's Game of Thrones. For fans of the show, based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, there's more House Lannister, Stark, Targaryen, Tyrell, Greyjoy, and Baratheon to be had online, where GoT enthusiasts can tune into podcasts discussing all goings-on in the worlds of Westeros and Essos.
These podcasts are a great way to get your head around all of the complicated plotting, scheming, and Iron Throne-lusting story lines both within and beyond the wall each week. From in-depth analysis of episode plotlines for book readers already familiar with the story to thorough recaps on each of the many characters for newbies, complement your weekly dose of Game of Thrones with these podcasts for every kind of Winterfella and Queen Regent.

If, like George Clooney, you spend lots of time up in the air, then you are very familiar with the inevitability of acts of mother nature, delays, cancellations, and missed connections. Biding time in an airport certainly isn't glamorous, but GateGuru (free), an app for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, makes it all a little easier on your weary traveling soul.
The airport information and flight status mobile guide — which was recently revamped with a snazzy new interface —automatically lists info about an airport's weather, amenities, and maps once you input your itinerary.
Submitting an itinerary is easy too. Just email it to plans@gateguruapp.com or connect your account to Kayak or Tripit, and the app will fill in the blanks for you. GateGuru is loaded with essential details about your day of travel: estimated security checkpoint wait times, tips to help navigate puzzling terminals, and real-time flight info. Plus, GateGuru now lets you book last-minute car rentals right from your phone.
For frequent fliers, there's a fun way to track your mileage with travel stats, a log of how many airports you've visited, how much time you've spent waiting for security, and more. This app helps make a long day of travel go more smoothly, especially if you've got multiple connections. Travel advisory: don't pack your bags without it.

Scientists at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have confirmed what kids have been insisting for ages: playing video games can be good for you. Specifically, playing block-building games like Tetris can do more to fix lazy eye than traditional treatments.
Lazy eye (medical name: amblyopia) is a condition in which vision doesn't develop properly in one eye. It can cause permanent sight problems if left untreated, since the brain eventually just stops processing the blurry images coming from the underfunctioning eye. According to The Eye Digest, about 3 percent of people in the United States have amblyopia.
Find out how doctors use video games to improve lazy eye after the jump.
