Kit Harington of Game of Thrones features in this spoof of irritating NPCs talking to you in first-person.
Saturday Night Live has done a funny about games, and even though it's now Tuesday, it's still worth a look if you haven't seen it yet. Kit Harington from Game of Thrones hosted on Saturday, and features prominently here. The sketch pokes fun at talky NPCs who get all up in your face.
