Hi everyone, wanted to share a couple of awesome tidbits with you. I’m writing articles for two sites now. One is called LOTRO Players and the other is Legendarium Media. My first two articles have went live. On LOTRO Players you’ll see the article written by Nim. That’s me. Nim is my toon in the game.

Here are the links to the two articles.

Benefits of a Kinship (LOTRO Players) This article went live on 8/29 but I wanted to wait until the other one went live before sharing the news.

Lord of the Rings Online: “Looking for Someone to go on an Adventure!” (Legendarium Media)

Check them out and let me know what you think 🙂

Fathom events now has info up on their site about it and the trailer is below. Most markets I believe have the start time for each of them being 7:30 pm. I haven’t gotten my tickets yet but will soon. Looks like some good footage was added back into the final movie.

Also, the extended edition blu-ray/dvd of The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies is slated to be released on Nov. 17th in the US and for those who like digital copies it is slated to be released on Oct.17th.

For all you Hobbit fans out there the three extended editions will be coming to theaters near you in October. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be showing on October 5th, Desolation of Smaug will be on October 7th, and Battle of Five Armies will be on October 13th. This is a tenative schedule as theaters are still signing on to show the movies.

AMC theaters has the three dates listed on their site but no times as of today.  You can search for the other two movies on there as well. So, just keep checking your local theater site for dates and times.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that the google form link has been fixed. So sorry about that. Didn’t know it was broken. 😦

Now onto the other reason for this little interruption. I found really cool site a couple of weeks called Mythgard Institute.  It has classes you can sign up (you have to pay for them), and there are also other things on there that are free to view and listen to. I started watching the videos the teacher put up that talks about Lord of The Rings. There are also videos discussing The Hobbit and other Tolkien items.  There is a section about Lord of The Rings Online as well. They have a kinship on one of the servers on LOTRO and post videos about the game.  There is a youtube series that has started up recently called Middle-earth lore. Players in the game are telling the story of different places in Middle-earth. They tell the story by taking you on a tour in the game. Here is the first video.

Being a fan of The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings I had always wanted to see what some of the family trees would like because there are a lot of family members listed in some fashion in the books. I was going to try and create one on my own but while I was searching everywhere (the books and LOTR sites) I found this one at a great site called Frodoforever.  I can honestly say I’m glad to have found it and others like it. The tree has helped to keep the relationships straight as I’m reading the books.  This one is the first of several posts that will deal with family trees. Next one up will be the Durin Family Tree.

Enjoy. Have a great day. 🙂
