LoreCast 004: The Elves of Mirkwood

Greetings and salutations from Middle-earth!

Today's LoreCast comes from Moormur and its about the Elves of Mirkwood. I apologize for the audio quality...the microphone kept cutting out each time I recorded [maybe it's time to get a new one ;-)]. The music for this mini-cast is not from Turbine's or Howard Shore's soundtracks for their respective works, but from the Middle-earth Album by Glass Hammer.

As always, you can contact us at LOTROCast@Gmail.com.

Episode 019: Mirkwood Unleashed Shownotes

Greetings, listeners! After a week of delay, I'm happy to bring you the newest episode of LOTROCast: The Lord of the Rings Online Podcast! You can find us on the Zune Marketplace, iTunes, and from the download bar to the right once the feed updates. As always, feel free to contact us at LOTROCast@gmail.com. We'd love to hear what you have to say!

This episode doesn't really have much in the way of shownotes...it's really mostly a narrative of our experiences in Mirkwood so far.

The big note is that we will be hosting an interview with Orion, the Turbine Developer and we would love to hear your questions!

See you in Middle-earth,

Moormur

LOTROCast To Interview Orion

Greetings, fellow members of the LOTRO Community! I'm pleased to announce that LOTROCast will be continuing our series of Developer Interviews with "Orion," a member of the Lord of the Rings Online team from Turbine. We are opening up the interview questions to the community, so if you have a question you would like to ask Orion, post it in the comments section below! I can't promise all the questions will be asked and answered, but we will consider each and every one! Please post your questions by Dec. 20th to be considered.

See you in Middle-earth,

Moormur

Apologies and Good News!

First, I suppose an apology is in order for my dropping off the face of the Earth for two weeks. The truth is that we recorded our episode on time last week, but when I went to edit it (twice) the program crashed right as I was exporting (twice). I tried a third time, this time saving my progress at the end...and of course the program crashed as I was saving it. In other words, I've edited this program three seperate times and am pretty sick of listening to it, lol. It's kinda like when you're working on a Word Document that vanishes just as you finish it because it hasn't been saved. Times three. I'll get the episode out the door in another day or two, I promise :-)

Now for the good news!

We're going to be interviewing Orion from Turbine next week! Look for details in the following post!

See you in Middle-earth,

Moormur

Announcing LOTROCast Gear!

Alberos and I put a lot of time and effort into making out Podcast what it is. For a few months now, I've had some people ask how they can support LOTROCast. Well, here's your chance!

The LOTROCast Gear Store!

The store seems like a nice happy medium...listeners can get a nice t-shirt of sweater (or a Flip if you really want a LOTROCast video camera...), and Alberos and I make a few dollars on the sales. I've put together a collection of about a dozen items in the store for you to peruse. Check it out and let me know what you think! If there is an item you want to see, let me know...I've only put out a few of the many options. If this goes over well, I have a couple of other designs that I haven't put out that I would love to trot out.

See you in Middle-earth,

Moormur
