Alright, get right on it. I look forward to your report back to TheTakeout in a couple weeks to see what you came up with.

Looks a heck of a lot like the Firefly board game.

LOTRO was pretty ambitious. As far as supporting the lore and trying to expand on things, I don’t think there are many other games that can claim that. The landscapes were all there, combat systems were decent (obviously they had to be mmo-grindy), but as a game I think they got farther than any game before or since.

Yeah, I’m not even a LotR fan, but LotRO was great (and maybe still is, I’ve been off the MMO train for years now). It was good enough that WoW lifted some features from it, e.g. earning talents by completing feats in LotRO became achievements in WoW.

Agreed. LOTRO absolutely does the IP justice. More than any other game. It’s probably the truest and most faithful representation of the books we will ever see.

And a grossly outdated screenshot at that. (That’s the old skill bar layout.)

Having played 90% of these games, I concur with the headline. LOTRO was good and I agree with another commenter that it probably deserves a bit more credit here.

Well that was a largely disappointing article.

Because living in a brick McMansion 5-10 miles from anything of interest and the most culturally significant thing in the area being the first McDonalds in the metro suburban area sounds like actual hell to me.

Everywhere you live has something shit about it. NYC is a fucking spectacular place to live. Why do you think people are willing to spend so much per square foot just to live there?  The NYC juice is worth the squeeze

Mediocre.

lmao

It’s a fun game of “Who’s Not-Bernie this Week?”

Winterfell is a false flag!!! King’s Landing was the true target all along. When Bran learns that all of King’s Landing has been zombified, he’ll travel back in time and convince Aerys to place wildfire throughout King’s Landing.

That’s really rich coming from a corrupt politician that uses militant tactics against his oppositions and did nothing against real militants that killed police officers...

C’mon, it’s time to break the “B” cycle. There’s only one QB for the Jags

And J will simply respond:

*scrolls down and random video from io9 starts playing for no fucking reason*

Statistically they aren’t. 

I fully expect his employers to put a stop to this and punish him appropriately. They are an upstanding organization who has a well documented history of rebuking offensive and immature behavior, be it in word, image or deed. One can always trust them to do what is right, not because they stand to gain, but because it…

Pretty pendatic article. Basically, he’s saying that food intolerances are not always allergies. True, celiac and esiniophilic esophagitis (EoE) are not allergies in the strictest sense, but they can still be quite debilitating.
