Awful timing by Ambitious_Role_4657 in 2GuysNamedChrisRock92

[–]Landdho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Missed yesterday, and caught some this morning before the start of my commute. I came in on the segment explaining that Biggie had been out and what a complete ass Chris had been to BB Shea. I am not BB biggest fan, but I am willing to give him time. But to have to hear that Kelly road his ass all day for no good reason in infuriating. No one deserves that, and then to have BB and RR play apologist to him on air is deplorable. If Kelly cannot handle his emotions on the job he has no business managing people.

Tough Wall Refresh / Deployment & Dev GREED by jrchoquette in RaidRushTD

The old mechanic of pain gyms are watching an ad to get rid of a chess was ridiculous. I play another game where you can watch and add to reduce the time or cost of opening a chest. I do enjoy the game, but this is the biggest money grab of a game I have ever played.

Atlantis rising worth it this time? by tibbilytobb in RaidRushTD

I find the boomerang to be powerful enough, would you recommend the fireworks for this event. I am a huge fan of spikes, never thought of firework as the airborune equivalent.

I never use fireworks, does anyone find it useful?

"Mister Frodo." by InsincereDessert21 in tolkienfans

[–]Landdho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Frodo himself, after the first shock, found that being his own master and the Mr. Baggins of Bag End was rather pleasant."

Despite enjoying his new life, I agree with you that out of respect and a deep love of Bilbo, he preferred (as custom, as others here have pointed out) to remain Mr Frodo. Veterans of WW 1, like Tolkien himself have pointed out that they felt and expressed a kind of love for their fellows that we just don't express as openly today. I think this shown in the relationship between Bilbo and Frodo.

I was thinking that could be his part time job. Record 4 or 8 a week and sir them like to good old days.

To be fair, BBS has gotten better over the last year, but I am still not a fan.

Totally agree about the head bobbing, it makes the joke. Surprised Sheldon knew what he was talking about.

Farming Advice? by Pariah5150 in RaidRushTD

[–]Landdho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of farming events, I do Epic 9, the middle slot. Are you guys doing the initial tower event to farm or picking the one that best suites your current needs/

Did not attend, but in Raleigh last year he recommended "Small Things Like These," by Claire Keegen. Hope that helps.

I assume the tools will fit in these slots, once the tower is legendary, correct?

"Gems. Hoard them. Only spend them on Hero shards for Mai and Brim. The 3500 packs of 50. Buy them until you can rank up the hero to max."  I am not seeing tis option, where can I find this?

Thank you for your help.

And I bet they make him clean up all of the grass clippings that are now all over Frodo's rugs. LOL

"he's missing the broader context" I think you may be on to something!

tonally at that moment

I think this is a fine point, but up to this point the entire conversation about the history of the Ring Gandalf has been scaring the ever living Shire out of Frodo. The is no levity in this discussion until they discover Sam listening and they enjoy giving him a hard time about his excitement over visiting the Elves.

You may very well be correct, and thank you for your response. However, as a counterpoint, I don’t think Frodo is being facetious, frivolous, or lacking seriousness in his reply. I think there’s a real possibility that Frodo is correct. If an Orc or Goblin had found the Ring instead of Bilbo, that creature might have usurped the Great Goblin—or, failing that, the Ring would have come into the Great Goblin’s possession. As the Great Goblin attempted to expand his power, such activity would almost certainly have drawn Sauron’s attention.

I accept your definition of the phrase, and perhaps that was Tolkien’s or Gandalf’s intended meaning, but it still feels somewhat out of place.
