The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Complete Review and Analysis.

Didn't watch it, so I'm going to talk about Pathfinder: Kingmaker instead. It's good, but it should have dropped the kingmaking and been about half as long after that excision. Also, the way some of the companions get involved is odd. Early spoilers!




Harrim wanted to unseat the Stag Lord and become a baron? Really? Harrim? That guy? Him? It makes sense that nobody seems to mind that you get to be the baron. They don't seem to be the sort to want that in the first place. But then why are they there?

The Casual in the Mirror

Once upon a time, there was a young man we will call Lucas. If anyone was hardcore, it was Lucas. His gamerscore and trophies? Immaculate. His online win rates? Above 52% in all cases. Difficulty setting? The highest, without exception.
Lucas liked winning, loved a challenge, and hated casuals. "Keep those casuals away from me," he prayed. "I don't think we'll ever get along!" He knew he was hardcore and accepted that about himself.
One day, he saw in the mirror something he never expected. A casual! He raised his arm and the casual raised his. He hopped, and so did the casual. What was going on?
"Hey Evan, cut it out," he said. "I need to dip into Monk. I don't have time for this!"
"Fine," his little brother, whose name was not really Evan, replied and ran off.
Lucas went back to managing his kingdom and winning fights. He did a really good job.

Have a spooky October!
