It's on the frontpage of their site via Vimeo, btw, and that one still works fine: https://vimeo.com/209329249

The Barbarian?

Not only a "gritty" version of a classic song, but a classic song which has been used seemingly hundreds of times in the exact same context before. "Oh hey, let's put this uplifting, positive song against a backdrop of calamity and despair! We're SO SMART!"

It's a little-known fact that it's ONLY the presence of water cups which allows T-Rex approaches to be discerned ahead of time. They're surprisingly stealthy, but those water glasses will get them every time.

Yeah, I'd always just assumed he was naturally suspicious and would've come clean if the random dude turned out to be all right. "Eh, sorry for not trusting you back there, but it's crazy around here." I'd figured he didn't know it was Hans until he went for the bait.

I've always been rather amused by the disparity between their goals and their methods. I don't know that I'd even call it "pretending" to be terrorists; pretty much the only thing they're pretending about is the political motivations. What was that quote near the end? "Since we're moving up to kidnapping you should…

I'm quite happy to hear about a sequel, though it's too bad that whatever efforts Talion-n-Celebrimbor make in Mordor inbetween Hobbit and LoTR are sort of canonically doomed to fail. I suppose it'll be easy enough to put a spin on it that things would've been far worse without their behind-the-scenes efforts, and…

IMO they're both well worth it, though I don't know if they're worth it at standard retail prices. :) I think I'd gotten GOTY as well, 'cause I know I didn't buy any DLC separately.

Yeah, I just edited my response - realized that I'd been confusing the last Bright Lord DLC mission with the last mission from the main campaign. It's the Bright Lord one I never wanted to play again, so not finishing up that other playthrough was silly of me.

Hrmph. I could've sworn that the last battle played out just as I said (I'd assumed you'd meant that the Talons were the folks you dealt with in the penultimate mission; I was definitely wrong on that front). Looking around now I can find absolutely no mention anywhere of resurrecting captains, so, gods, I dunno. …

I quite enjoyed both of the "story" DLCs. The Lord of the Hunt one especially adds a bunch more fun creatures to fight in the second map area, and I had a great time playing through that. Doesn't really build off the ending at all, I think it might even canonially take place before the end battles. The one thing I…

No, there's one more after that - I agree that the 5-branded-warchiefs-vs-Talons one was cake. The next one after that has you by yourself in a battle with five warchiefs (plus Sauron-or-whatever (spoilers!)), and then midway through the battle the warchiefs get resurrected so you've got to kill them all again. The…

Yeah, as @unspeakableaxe:disqus said, it's all down to how much you enjoy its central combat mechanic. The game itself is effectively rather grindy, and you end up doing basically the same thing a lot of times, but if you enjoy the basic mechanic you won't mind. If the central combat doesn't grab you, though,…

The constant grey-and-brown drabness of the first map definitely wore on me after awhile. The second map was a breath of fresh air; never wanted to go back to the first one once I got over there.

Heh, I'd argue you were pretty overpowered right from the start. I tend to suck at anything requiring arcadey skills, but I was able to button-mash my way past most battles right from the start. I remember my very first play session getting caught up in a big ol' mob of orcs which ended up including THREE…

Also it has to contain carbon!

Well, I'm in Wisconsin, so you're not far off. Though my wife's family is from Cleveland, OH, so go figure.

I read/heard somewhere (probably on the Internet! It must be true!) that the chicken industry in America makes a lot of its money exporting chicken feet to asian countries which are much more fond of them than we are over here. Wonder if that's actually the case…

Hey now, pickled herring is amazing. Took me awhile to develop and appreciation for it, but my wife's family loves it and years of holiday meals have brought me around. I crave the stuff, nowadays. It's sort of in a completely different class of food than fresh fish, honestly.

Eel sushi (unagi) is one of my favorites; a little fillet of eel, cooked,with some kind of sweetish sauce on it. Super good! If you didn't tell someone it was eel, they'd probably just assume it was some other more "ordinary" fish. I'd recommend it! I assume it's probably like the french fries of sushi or…
