For one thing he was a Scottish comedian with his "laddie" (not to mention the other stereotypical mannerisms). He was a comedic character in the movies. Someone you laughed at. Gimli is not an object of humour in the books. Nor should he be.
Anyway, it really is bed time, now.

Well in regards to the music, I think The Battle of the Black Gates and The Return of the King do the best job of opening up my tear ducts. It feels like the ultimate happy ending the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

Anyone who hates on LotR is delusional and should have their opinion taken away by opinion robbers They should do the same with people that like PvP Surprise that the Prime fan defends delusional beliefs. How is being a fan of the best and most likeable team in the world being delusional?
So true. Prime for the victory.

Indeed! Almost 1am. It's also been an intense work week (if a short one). It's time for some zzz and a sleep in.
Gogo MMA!

I thought Legolas was the comedian - the stair slide, the fred-flinstone-esque trunk slide

The actor of Gimli was fine, PJ's portrayal of Gimli was horrible

I still think that small Anakin is much more horrible than Sam & Frodo in all 3 movies. So IMO SW ep -2 < LotR 1-3 < SW ep -1 < ep 0 < ep3 < ep1 < ep2
At least they hit the gayness of elves with the shieldboarding shooting elf-whatever-was-his-name-i-cannot-remember-right now :D Also I think that this shieldboarding elf is too short for an elf.
Kill me 
On topic - go Parting, go Parting, go Parting(Terran "the future winner" Maru is playing on a different day, I think)

GG - fun game. Sick unit design.

I feel like PartinG's opening was slightly better than MMA's.

Anyone watching this group?
Because maybe we should all agree to do a Lotr marathon, start exactly at the same time and do a LR about it

am I the only one who still remembers when the oracles was "the first harassing units that doesn't kill workers but harasses in cool, different, new ways"?

Merry and Pippin were essentially comic relief too. They needed a lot of it because Sam and Frodo were just a pain to watch.
