Well of course it was terrible if you compare it to the book. No movie has ever been better than a book!

@ Aikanaro

I do hope you don't take the ingame sounds of the CRPGs featured on this site as a reference as to how a divine invocation should sound like. Those are IMHO not much better. (though they are which says alot about Frodo) I believe like you that it was indeed an invocation. If not someone prove me wrong.

Argh, to much books to read, to much old games to replay (or even finish) and to many new games to try. And this during exam period.

Somehow I don't have a good feeling about this. I feel like my future summer period is already shrinking.

Can somebody tell me in what Language the band Windir is? It's look like some kind of scandinavian to me, here's a lyric it's called Saknet

Mørke spaigla mine kjainsle, men da e ait hål i spaiggedl.
Ait hål so ikkje enda, akkorat so sakne i sjeli mi.
Håle e so sakne i sjeli mi. Sakne e so håle, endelaust...
Sakne itte nåke inårmt so eg hadde, da eg hadde va lika stort so sakne,
inårmt... Eg lika smerte, men eg lika ra igentle ikkje...
Eg skrike, men eg skrike igentle ikkje...
Eg dåyr, men eg dåyr igentle ikkje...
Eg sakna... Fø meg e mørke so dagen fø deg å ri andre.
Fø meg e dagen so mørke fø deg å ri andre.
Fø meg e skrike so lattern fø deg å ri andre.
Fø meg e dauen so live fø deg å ri andre.
Dystert da e, å tainkja slik, dystert da e, å vera slik,
dystert da e, å liva slik, dystert da e, eg lika ra slik...
Dystert e ra å dystert ska ra vera. Mørt e ra å mørt ska ra vera.
Ont e ra å ont ska ra vera. Sakne e rar, men da ska rar ikkje vera...
Da ain ikkje bør gjera e da eg sakna meste,
da ain ikkje bør saia e da eg sakna meste, du skjønna kå eg maina,
da e deg eg sakna adle meste...
Da eg ha møst ha saora, da vi'kkje bedra seg me aori.
Da ha berra våre ont, å sakna ha våre tongt.
Smerte, no lika e'ra... Skrik, no skrike eg...
Dau, no dåyr eg... Sakn, eg sakna reg...
Eg dåyr fø'ra eg sakna... Å eg sakna itte dauen

Hey 8! I resent that. My ego isn't overinflated. It is inflated to just the right size. Big. Very big.

A man's ego is like his.... I don't know. Should be proportionate to something...

@Ofelix - that language looks a lot like some dialect you'll find on the south-west coast of Norway, methinks.

Warning: seriously angry teenager trying to be polite about it ahead.

It's just unfair. I'm just playing an online game when I need a little help finding an item I need for a quest. What would you do in a situation? Send a general call for help asking where the item is... I got a reply, to meet someone at recall point. I meet them there. They are all nice and friendly and tell me to wait somewhere a second. I wait. They come back and say they killed the Aggro(aggro mob is a creature that attacks on sight) in the way. I follow them again

THEY HAD SET A TRAP! As a result I was webeed unable to move or recall away. THEN HE KILLED ME. In the game you get alive after a certain amount of time BUT I LOST THE QUEST!!! AND I AM SO ANGRY ABOUT IT!

But it is so stupid, this embodiment of idiocy knows that it was illegal but also knows I cannot do anything about it. Nobody listens to people under lvl 30 even if they have other characters above lvl 30.

The annoying thing is I WAS POLITE TO HIM about the whole thing BUT I AM GETTING ANNOYED at something so STUPID. The fact I'm annoyed and that it is stupid is ANNOYING ME EVEN MORE!!!

Gah!
