I thought it was the other guy, but I agree with everything Zesty said so  People have known this game was being made for years and the question was always "why??" Nobody is even mad about it, most people are just laughing at how bad every single element of the game is. e] Like giving Gollum a patchy bowl-cut because the game is set a couple of decades before lotr, even though Gollum is like ~500 years old already

Someone post an actual picture of game Gollum because they 100% hosed up the design, that's entirely on them, and also it looks like a goddamn PS2 game Like the game in theory could be a lot of fun. I made the Metal Gollum Solid joke already.

This is the second thread I'm following that has been shat up by whinging about the Gollum game. In other news, I drove through Esgaroth yesterday:  quote:

Almost to end of the Quenta Silmarillion, and look, Morgoth is right. The sons of Feanor are the stupidest Elves to ever live.

Is it true to Tolkein's vision that Gollum cannot kill Orcs wearing a helmet?

Barudak posted:Yes its all right here, next to Tolkeins notes about how sexy Shelob was Come to think of it, as a philologist Tolkein would probably be irritated by that sentence because it's ambiguous if Gollum or the Orc is the one wearing the helmet.

One of the kids has started trying to take over the reading of the Silmarillion (like a paragraph or two at the start of the nights reading) and it is fuckin hilarious to have a small kid perfectly pronouncing Earendil and struggling with "bade".

You know Morgoth would be way less able to trick people if the Valar weren't always so goddamn stupid. We can wait for the divine plan to unfold, why can't these pesky Dunedain???

I like that the dumb-dumb of the Valar is the one who is often most willing to help out, besides Ulmo Everyone else is having councils, remembering the music and crying about trees. Meanwhile Tulkas is like "gang I can literally just run over there and beat the poo poo out of that guy in like 20 seconds. I've done it before."

I was struck while rewatching Fellowship how much the trip through Moria feels like a cosmic horror riff. The unknown horror that the dwarves woke up, the ancient halls that seem empty but aren't, and the expedition that Gimli's expecting to find that was already wiped out (and especially the scribe-dwarf's dying journal entry with the cryptic warnings) all could be straight out of Lovecraft if they weren't about dwarves and goblins. Also Frodo really got stiffed on magic treasures huh. Bilbo went like half as far and picked up a magic ring, magic sword, and fancy impervious shirt. All Frodo ever got for himself was a glow in the dark thimble of elf water. Randallteal fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jun 25, 2023 |

Lovecraft and Tolkien were probably drawing on a lot of the same sources.

All Frodo ever got for himself was a glow in the dark thimble of elf water. Already having Frodo's magic ring, magic sword, and fancy impervious shirt kinda shortened things. Not much point in Frodo scavenging for better weapons and armor when you've already got the best. He did get some magical elf rations, although fancy crackers are less impressive.

Sam gets a sweet rope and some good dirt. Frodo also loses the mithril mail and the magic ring and gifts the magic sword away so good job hanging onto Bilbo's loot.
