Do you lay awake at night wondering if a Balrog could kick ten shades out of Treebeard..? I know I sure as hell did - Until I went out and bought Lord Of The Rings Conquest, which not only answered that question for me, but several other Lord Of The Rings based questions; Such as "How far can I ACTUALLY toss a dwarf?" and of course "Can I pass?".
Lord of the Rings Conquest drops you into the roll of a generic soldier on the battlefield, with a choice of what kind of infantry you are, your choice consists of:
Warrior - Does what he says on the tin really; As a warrior you pretty much just run in and stab people, which to be honest gets a little boring, especially since the melee in this game is god awful. I felt it was kind of a "Whoever hits first wins" Which is kinda true, once you knock someone down as a warrior, you can just beat them again before they have a chance to stand up; Which can only be stopped by using a special move that only heroes have. What i'm trying to say is, if you play this game, avoid the warrior like the plague, unless you're taking down a big target, such as a Ent or Cave Troll.
Next you've got the Scout; Which is another melee class; So once more, really only kinda useful against taking out big targets and heroes, but only because the scout has a special move where he can one hit anyone - So as you can imagine, he's whored out when it comes to online gameplay.
Archer is up next - I found the archer to be rather enjoyable and spent most of the time playing as him.
They have an advantage on long range attacks and can also down large targets by simply spamming their main three skills from a distance, but none the less, an enjoyable class, but a pain the arse when it comes to online play.
And finally there's mage, I started off hating the mage, but grew to love it as I played through the game. To begin with, I wasn't sure how to play mage, but it's all about blocking the enemy from getting to you, using this spell that creates an area of fire that burns the enemy if they walk through - And then to spam electric attacks whilst they walk through the fire; This works on both smaller and larger targets, so mage seems the best class to play - Unless you want to do some long ranged killing.
In essence, the gameplay really isn't varied and the only variation throughout the game comes with what ever class you play, which is probably why the game was so dissapointingly short - Two campaigns that span about four hours each at best - And the sad thing is, the whole time I was playing, I wasn't feeling the LOTR influence, the generic species and hero that's from LOTR appears, but it doesn't feel like LOTR should.
There's only one real moment where you go
"Yeaaa..LORD OF THE RINGS!" And it's immense, it's when you're slaughtering some random Orcs and it goes all grim and stuff - And then suddenly, you start kicking arse and the classic LOTR tune comes in - And I personally got a shiver up my spine when that happened.
I guess what i'm trying to say is; The game doesn't deliver the epic LOTR experience like it should do, but as a standalone game, it's pretty good.
It's also a fairly good clone of the original Star Wars Battlefront games, except of course with next-gen graphics and different skins on the characters - And a lack of vehicles; Which I feel is a problem, sure, in LOTR Conquest we could ride horses, become a balrog and an Ent - But where were the giant eagles and those scary dragon monsters? I mean, they were there, but they just flew around the sky and annoyed the pants off of you.
Thankfully for us gamers that enjoy online gameplay - once the campaigns are over, you can head online - To do the exact same thing with people that actually know what they're doing (Unless you're on the baddies side). Because, it's kinda apparent that no one plays baddies in this game; So, you always just get people who don't want to be there fighting with you and generally tossing about as a cave troll.
All in all; Lord Of The Rings conquest is a good game, it just lacks the depth and variation that a game such as Star Wars Battlefront had - Add flying Dragon/Eagle battles and you'd be having alot more fun.
This game is worth buying if you were a fan of Star Wars Battlefront or a die hard Lord Of The Rings fan that can find joy in anything that contains blonde haired pretty boys and short angry men with beards.

Welcome to yet another installment of Interview With A Moron! Today, since I'm all out of potential candidates, I'm sitting here with Baron von Gneo. Most of you know him as Gneo, or Baron, or Mike, or Michael, or whatever the hell you know him as! Say hello, man of many names!
Gneo: Why hello there! 83
Myst: So, Gneo. What exactly made you join this league of Morons in the first place?
Gneo: I remember iDigress telling me about it when it was ANGE. Then, my laptop's hard drive died, and so did my 2nd one when the warranty was intact. I came back after I had my own computer again.
Myst: Riveting tale, ol' chap. How did you and iDi get together?
Gneo: Believe it or not, Gaia... I made a thread a few years or so ago about how potatoes are better than roses for Valentines day gifts in the GCD. She saw it, posted, and PM'd me. Then, after talking for a few months, we realized how obsessed we were with each other. Okay, more like a few weeks, but yeah.
Myst: Aww, how romantic. Potatoes are more useful than roses. Anyway, how'd you learn about Gaia?
Gneo: I had a few IRL friends bugging the crap out of me on the bus about this super cool internet website called "Gaia Online" where you could dress up your character to have katanas and fire wings. when i got my first laptop, I joined to make them shut the hell up. then I loved it. icon_sweatdrop.gif
Myst: Teehee. Ok, so, if you were single, which of the guild's girls would you go for and why?
Gneo: Peanut, cuz she's 100% loli.
Myst: No, seriously.
Gneo: I suppoooooooose the female I know the most is Bio, because we chat frequently in IM. Plus she looks like Silver Fox from X-Men, that's always a plus.
Myst: She's one kickass chick, that's for damn sure. icon_cool.gif So! Who's your favorite thread maker?
Gneo: I'd probably have to say Bane, because he tends to have a similar sense of humor to my own. I'd die in a "you raff you roose" thread if he made it.
Myst: I think we all would, Gneo. I really do. If you were stranded on a deserted island, which 5 members would you like to have with you and why?
Gneo: iDi --- derp
Bio --- She wouldn't be lazy, she'd be a good help. Also, more women means more cooking.
Rit --- He could talk to the animals that could kill us, and make them not kill us.
Capn --- To keep Rit in order.
Alt --- If we can't find enough food, we can always feed a little off of him. It's ok, he wouldn't feel it.
Myst: ohlawd. icon_xd.gif I think your islanders might kill themselves before too long. Anyway, that's not the important part. My last question for you is, do you believe in me?
Gneo: No. I believe in me, who believes in you.
Myst: Woo! And that, good sir, concludes this session of Interview With A Moron! If you'll exit stage left...
Gneo: Yeah, okay, bubye now, see you ******** *falls through trap door*

So this time around my moronic friends, I have decided to write about not a song, not an album but a genre.
Today, we will be looking at Horror Punk.
The easiest way of describing Horror Punk is that it is a mix of early punk rock music with the lyrical content themed on horror films.
The genre is thought to have been created by the band The Misfits.
The band often tell a tale throughout there lyrics depicting a horror scene from a film, a story from a horror novel or using morbid or macabra lyrics to create black humor.
Horror punk has traditionally used, amongst other horror influence, the aesthetics and themes of zombie films with some bands basing their whole image and lyrics on zombies. This is often thought of as its own subgenre named zombiecore.
As with all music today, there are many sub-genres to Horror punk. Horror rock, death rock, goth punk, psychobilly and horror surf are all genres that are linked to horror punk and all share the same horror based lyrics and imagery but with other musical inflences, psychobilly takes its name from its 50's rockabilly influence and though the vocalist may sing the lyrics the same and they are normally about love, they have the same macabra imagry as the others.
Just for you fans of japanese things
This...
...is Balzac
Highly influenced by the sound and image of the famous horror punk band The Misfits, Balzac are often thought of as the japanese counterparts to the misfits. The band often stays away from the "campy" horror lyrics and image found in most horror punk bands, and their lyrics tend to be more similar to dark poetry and, though not always serious, deal with themes of darkness, loneliness and fear.
Just to make you cutegasm.
Personally, one of my favourites (other than The Misfits) is Wednesday 13, along with the other bands he has been in. Wednesday chooses to use a wide variety of horror films and stories but normally to a comical effect. With songs like
"Till death do us party" and my Home Sweet Homicide" both talking about death but in a light hearted way.
The quintessential example of horror punk fashion can be found in the band The Misfits. While looking considerably similar to other late-1970s punk rock bands and fans, the band took a darker approach to its style. They wore predominantly black clothing, skeleton or zombie costumes, and sometimes added alteratively styled "glam rock" items.
For female (and a few of the male) fans of the scene, items such as fishnet stockings, corsets, and elaborate makeup are often worn. The use of occult and horror imagery is prevalent on T-shirts, buttons, patches and jewelery aswell.
Brands like Kreepsville 666 make clothing and items hugly based on the scene.
Horror punk is one of my personal favourite genres of music; the thing I personally like is it has a sertain theatrical aspect to its lyrics and it's not greatly well known. Plus, I love the shocking and morbid nature of it and get to listen to songs about vampires.

This is a continuation of the last one. Still bathroom number one.
Here's what's been done:
Paint, Cabinets, Lighting, Door.
XXXXXX
Meanwhile, I storm blew through town. Everything flooded, with the worst being downtown, which got 2.25" in an hour, causing tunnels to flood and 3' of water to crowd the streets. We're a disaster area. $4M in damages. So here are some pictures of our clouds and a robin:
Clouds:
XXXX
Floods:

The drain took out most of the water. The brown ring was where the waters were. They went all the way around the park. And that park is quite large.
Robin:

It looked better on my camera. gonk
