Are you a commander of an undead army? Do you have the right tools to organize said army in order to invade the lands of Westeros? Do you, really?

It's not April Fools, and yet it feels like it.

Google has launched a new marketing campaign for its Chromebook computers, and it involves the White Walkers and the Night King, who, apparently, can't do its thing without a Chromebook.

And yeah, as you might imagine coming from Google, the campaign is nerdy. In the video below, the Night King is doing a presentation, with Foreigner's Cold as Ice playing in the background.

There's also a blog post from the Night King, White Walker recruitment orientation slides and an overview of tools these undead warriors use on their ultimately unsuccessful quest (Wait, is that a spoiler? Sorry). Check out the entire presentation here.

Ultimately, the campaign doesn't make Chromebooks any less cool, so...a success, I guess? On the other hand, it does make the Night King a little less cool. At least paint that Chromebook black, dude.
