And in the obsession blind them... (8/24)

**Woody** · 08-24-2007

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago, fellow gaming enthusiast Amber Night named GU (and myself) among the top 14 MMORPG icons of all time. Well, in her brief explanation as to why I cracked the top 10, she mentioned that she dreamed of being the subject of one of the comic. I encouraged Amber to email me and I'd get her in. I even made a promise that I would weeks ago, but got busy leading up to ConnectiCon and just plain damn forgot after BlizzCon.

So, with my most sincere apologies I finally get Amber into a comic, playing the part of her Lord of the Ring Online character and using a joke idea she submitted herself.

Thanks again for the nod Amber. I'm not sure if I deserve it. But, hopefully the comic helps fulfill that dream.

Haha! That sure is a great game. Awesome comic as usual Woody!

Haven't played it, but I could only imagine that that's how half the cast feels right about now.

Hehehe! Too funny. I have to admit I'm such a LOTR fan that when I saw some of the main characters, like Aragorn, I squealed and wiggled with happiness so hard, I almost fell outta my chair.

I was dragged into it by my cousin and have been playing it alot lately. There are so many things ripe for Parody in the game, I'm not sure where to start. Everything form the hundreds of inane quests per inch in the shire, to all the BS that goes on in the PvMP. Also, how depressing and emo all the elves are. Oh, and I have proof the Hungry Hobbits and the Nosy Hobbits are collaborating! Cmon, you can now play as a lv 1 CHICKEN that has to run through a lv 40 zone. Fun fun fun...

I haven't picked up LOTRO yet. I'm pretty much waiting until I get tired enough of WoW to warrant paying $15 a month for a different MMO. Great comic! Poor VittoGorn.
