later nerdz; it’s about techgnarlogy

Last night, driven by my bottomless apitite for escapism, I joined the Lord of the Rings Online 15 day trial. The game looks like ass on my computer. Everything is aliased and the textures and models look like something done at community college 3D school.

I’ve heard the gameplay is kind of like WoW, which if true means I won’t be playing LOTR:Online much longer than 15 days. Can the simple fact that the storyline is familiar to me keep me in the game? Does it really matter that my 250th quest is the MInes of Moria? I don’t think so.
