LOTRO & Machinima

So, when last I posted to this blog my next goal was to write an article about Lord of the Rings Online. Everything went according to plan, just like with World of Warcraft. Only, I got hooked by that game big style and so spent the next months either gaming there or working on various other non-blogging projects.

Is LOTRO better than WOW?
That's a discussion you find just about everywhere in the net.

My personal opinion is: It worked - and works - a lot better for me.
And the main reasons for that are: (not necessarily in that order)

1. I am a big Tolkien fan and they did a great job creating the game world. I re-read the book and even some tiny details found their way into the game.
2. I met nice and supportive people from the very beginning, that share - or at least accept - the kicks I get from the game. (Roleplaying a bit, generally sight-seeing... questing, but not big instance raids... and the monster play, of course...)

So, I also found a good use for Ning Forums as our Guild/Tribe forums.

Another thing LOTRO re-vitalized in me is my love for creating short movies.... In this case Machinima movies.

Watch and enjoy... (For better quality go directly to YouTube and watch in High Quality mode)
