Way back when the game had only recently gone Free to Play, Turbine started introducing meta-deeds to the game. These meta-deeds came with some pretty awesome titles and steeds and I was really into getting all of them. One of these meta-deeds was for Elf reputation. If you reached kindred with the Elves of Rivendell, Galledhrim and Malledhrim you would get the...

This week we had our craziest show yet.  Things were just weird the whole show and it is likely because of the later time this week due to the holiday.  We had a lot of fun doing as well as we always do with skirmishes this week.

This week there was not a lot of news as Update 14 is only a week away but we did have a lot of fun covering the news we had despite severe technical difficulties for the live viewers.

On twitter I was asked to put together an outfit for a Ranger with a guard focus. Besides the iconic ranger shoulder wrap I didn’t use any Ranger/Grey Company pieces to make it more unique. The shoulder wrap though has that distinguished texture and star emblem, so I felt I had to include it to really give it authenticity as a Ranger outfit. Let me know...

The BBB is at it once again with another high quality LOTRO video. This time however there is a bit of a twist as it is actually a music video of one of Tolkien’s...

This week’s video highlight takes us all the way back to the Shadows of Angmar release on Tuesday April 24th, 2007.  The launch event for the game was held at an EB Games inside Universal Citywalk Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.  The following two videos were released within a few days after the release.

This week there was not a lot of news but we do have a good discussion on the in-game store.

This week’s video highlight features a funny story with a lot of cowbell.  “The Bluebonnett Blues” was released in 2011 on Bards, Beers, & Longbeards’ YouTube channel.

I know there are quite a few people out there who roleplay their characters as rogues or ruffians or brigands. I’m definitely not one of them. The closest I’ve come to that is my hunter from Bree who can be a bit rough around the edges but is good at heart. However if you are one of those people who likes to have your characters cast on the darker...

This week we have a lot of news and two new segments for the show.

Last week I posted my ‘trailer’ style video of the Beta 1 version of Dol Amroth on Bullroarer. Now I have one for another of the regions in Update 14: Lamedon! The focus of this video is the aesthetics and style of the country side, towns, and beacons of Lamedon. There’s a vignette filter added to make the video more ‘cinematic’. Let me know what...

After posting my View of Dol Amroth video, it was suggested that I make a swan-knight outfit. I had every intention of doing so for this week’s outfit too, but I just could not get it the way I wanted. It’s hard to find good looking plate-type armour in this game, and on top of that it’s hard to find good-looking plate type armour that...

This week’s video highlight takes us behind the thought process of creating The Witch-king.  This week’s highlight originally comes from behind the scenes disk included with the Special Edition of the base game.  “The Witch-king (Beyond the Shadows)” was released in 2009 on Turbine’s official YouTube channel.  Do you know of a good LOTRO...
