I love The Lord of the Rings and I loved this game. Me and Kiwo have wanted to stream this for ages but there's some very obvious copyright issues, as the game lifts audio and music directly from the movies. We actually had to ask a Warner Bros representative directly if we could stream it without getting into potential copyright trouble, and they said we could hahaha. If anything does happen to this video due to KZbin's systems we've now the means to get it reinstated. So thank you Warner Bros there!

My favorite piece of Sean Bean trivia is that he is afraid of flying. When they shot the scenes of the fellowship traveling across the mountains they just flew everyone up to the peak in a helicopter. Sean refused so every day he'd get into costume hours before the rest of the cast and trudge his way up the mountain.

There are 2 more possible instances. One in Moria where he says ‘come on’ to Aragorn and Frodo when they need to jump off a stair (although, knowing his record in the rest of the trilogy he was probably just talking to Aragorn and didn’t even realise Frodo was there). The other one is apparently in the extended cut, where Legolas explains something and the camera cuts to Frodo, making it seem like Legolas was talking to Frodo (although this isn’t likely).

It's amazing how people revert to childlike glee at those few notes in Concerning Hobbits. Also I like how in the books it's mentioned that there hasn't been a hobbit killing in so long and yet in the RT version Frodo just beats the first hobbit he sees to death as soon as he comes out of Bag End.

[@aidanfarnan4683]

Ah yes, my favourite scenes of the trilogy were when Boromir got killed by potassium, Treebeard got stuck in purgatory, then Strider got kicked in the balls by some severed legs. And who could forget when a friendly orc helped Sam throw Galadriel’s glowstick at the scary lego spider, while Merry moonwalked away from Eowyn getting choked? EDIT: I also love the orc balls speach, and the fact that RT will do a full stream of playing Dark Souls using a baby in a bleder as a control, but a *LEGO* spider gets not one but two content warnings.

I know RT was joking, but, yeah, the other hobbits could have carried it. Bilbo and Froddo were abnormally resistant to it. But all Hobbits are resistant to a degree, since the ring only enhances the wearer, so the weaker you are to start, the less it can offer to corrupt you. So, yeah, likely the other hobbits would have been given the ring if Frodo had died

[@theflickchick9850]

The other hobbits didn't take the Ring because they genuinely didn't want to keep walking. Pippin and Merry makes a pretty big deal about how they're just done walking which is why they don't take the Ring.

I just want to be a gardener for mr frodo' Others were corrupted just from being near it. It took Faramir seeing Frodo almost kill Sam for him to let them go, and it was only near to him for a few days. So Sam giving it up shows he was pretty resistant.

honestly? that kind of just is gandalf's vibe lmao. he's a bit of a grouch but very compassionate and warm (unless you're putting the fate of the world in jeopardy > >)

I loved this game as a kid. Genuinely fun, while also being silly and ridiculous and emulating the epicness of the original works. Though I will never forgive the game for not letting you play through the Battle of Minas Tirith

[@HarmonicaPresents]

It's crazy how buggy this game was. I remember playing the absolute pants off of Lego Pirates of the Carribean, and scarcely ran into any problems. Yet when I played this one, I remember encountering all kinds of soft-locks and other such jank, to the point of not even finishing it. This playthrough really reminded me of that.

[@sagevoyage]

My game had a glitch where the Ghost King's crown was replaced with a ridiculous pompadour and it just stayed like that forever

When you said you'll play all of our favourite games this year I didn't believe you. There are so many games so my chances are small. And then you drop this, my favourite game and the best lego game in existance. Thank you Daniel, you truly are a God among Irishmen.

It's amazing how much they changed for the sake of comedy and yet they can still reuse 99% of the audio from the movies fittingly in the cutscenes.

the “LEGOLAS NOOO” at 28:33 sounds so genuine it makes me laugh every god damn time

Damn. Rt really do be playing the games if my childhood. Very fond memories of this one and playing it with my brothers. Since Rt has already played Star Wars, Harry Potter (1-7), lotr, all that’s left is the Lego indiana jones games. Afterwards Daniel will have played basically all the games I had on my Wii/Wii U growing up. If I haven’t expressed this already, thank you Mr Drift King for the nostalgia over these past few years 😁

Mate, I wholeheartedly thank you for playing this game. This one's an enormous part of my childhood. May you have a blessed day :)

[@QuelendUnderground]

Me and my brother used to pack out the ol' ps3 just for the sake of playing this game. At one point, I shouted ''Legolas, you tool!'' at the screen, because the ai kept getting stuck in one spot or kept falling off a cliff, which then killed the character. It then became a running gag between me and my brother, and whenever the character was on screen we would repeatedly shout 'Legolas, you tool' for any minor inconvenience, even if it was caused by one of us being stupid or just dying while using him. It was great.

[@dunnoowo8828]

I was sick the day of this stream and spent the entire day in bed watching it. I was never really fond of the works of Tolkien and the time I tried to read the books or watch the movies I didn't understood them or they felt really slow and boring. Watching this stream and seeing how important is for someone the world of the middle-earth made want to try and read the books again. I'm very thankful for it.

Honestly, Lego games are just goddamn great. The batman ones are still my favourite but this one definitely is a close second.

Ahh, I miss this. I remember the one time i was like 5, playing this on the xbox 360 with my sibling. They wanted to speedrun it, but I was absolutely terrible at the game, and he slowly got angrier and angrier at me as we went on. Eventually, he just stopped me from playing and made me watch them win. They did, but it took forever because of my bs.

I notice throughout that the split screen was a annoyance to you, while I may be wrong, for future notice I am pretty certain there is a option in the settings that will make the black line stay still in the middle.
