LOTR: The Two Towers

Posted by michael on from the when-ents-attack dept.

Let's try to mash all the LOTR submissions into one. Reviews: comingsoon.net, Empire Online (UK), CNN, Slate, Salon. The LA Times has a story about animating Gollum which we can't link to because it requires registration. Lord Satri writes "Ents, elves and mages being on every orc's lips, new versions of Tales Of Middle-Earth are available. It is an open source, one player and online multiplayer game. It is ported to many OS's. Yeah, no terrific graphics, but the game is really worthwhile. It is based on the famous roguelike Angband (variants here). Faithful to Tolkien's writings."

    and it ends with all of the characters having hot buttsex with each other. It's a gay, gay ending to a shitty movie. LOTR is for gay homos. Do you play Magic the Gathering as well? Get a life, get a job, move out of your parents house, get some accutane for those zits. Fucking dorks. No I haven't seen LOTR, LOTR2 because I am cool and you are all fags.

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that makes much sense. If you don't like registration required links, then why not stop linking to the NYT? Is there some sort of business relationship, or is it just a matter of not feeling strongly enough about required registration to stop linking to a large potential source of stories?
