Remember in the 2021 article when I said that it was the worst year so far on a personal level? Well, I'm glad I put the "so far" in that sentence because this year was a lot worse. I won't get into all the details in this article, I have spent several monthly updates on the situation, … Continue reading 2022: A Year in Numbers
The final scenario of the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle is where things get a bit crazy. Not only is this the first time players have to traverse 4 quest stages, but they have to do so with Gollum kicking and screaming like a 4-year-old who got told that they can't have all the candy from … Continue reading Return to Mirkwood
The fifth adventure pack of the first cycle takes us to the Dead Marshes. This will not be the last time we visit this place in the game, but for now, we do not have to worry about the undead residing here. We are here to finally capture Gollum, who is trying to escape us … Continue reading The Dead Marshes
With me being out of the hospital and recovering from my treatments, I had some more time this month to get back into the game and work on the blog some more. Progress is still a bit slow, and I won't meet all the goals I've set for myself at the beginning of the year, … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2022
Your hunt for Gollum has brought you to one of the more boring quests in the game, according to many. The Hills of Emyn Muil focuses a lot on locations and exploration rather than combat. As such, it is not unheard of to clear this scenario without ever seeing a single enemy. This greatly reduces … Continue reading The Hills of Emyn Muil
After having been away so long from the blog, you'd expect me to rush in with a nice and easy article discussing some quests that are beloved by the community. You know, the simple stuff. But noooo, SOMEONE (me from 4 months ago) decided that Journey to Rhosgobel should be next! So today, we'll be … Continue reading A Journey to Rhosgobel
I suppose another update is in order. I skipped the September one because I was in no condition to write, and not much happened that month anyway. October has been a bit more interesting as a player of this game. The blog also started to show signs of life again, with some articles by me … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2022
With everything going on right now, I needed a distraction, and while I'm not feeling good enough to write a full scenario analysis, I did want to start putting out content on the blog again. So I'd like to take you all on a journey to explain how this year's swag got its cover and … Continue reading Artwork of the VOTP swag 2022
This... will be a different sort of article than I usually post around this time each month. It's going to be more of a personal update and a public statement as to why I have not been around the community as much, and why no content was published on the blog in August, despite plans … Continue reading Month in Review: August 2022
This has been a rather productive month for the blog and a good month for the community as well since there was quite a bit of news to enjoy during the month. The announcement of the repackaged LOTR Sagas did not come as a surprise, but it is nice that we at least have a … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2022
