We are waiting...

[Mathijs]

Yeah you can stop doing that now.

[Rob38]

Indeed, I'm aware that many are waiting for this mod to be finished but school and real life come first.

[drogoth232]

Good Luck! Also do your best in all of those areas (school, home) never be rushed as I say (and I know).

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on Finals right now so I'm super busy. I will be done with most of the work on Tuesday. Just want to give you a heads up for why I have not been on T3A much for the past several (and upcoming) days. Thanks.

Getting it done for Kick a Ginger day, eh?

[drogoth232]

Well Good Luck for that as Well!

Say what now?

[Gfire]

Yesterday was Kick a Ginger day. I never actually saw anyone all day though. I was just sitting around at home. Didn't get kicked.

Never heard of that before. What's a Ginger?

[Gfire]

Red-haired.

+Pale and freckly

[Rob38]

Dang, how can people be so cruel to each other!?

[Ring o' Fate]

...Have you listen to history stuff? Kicking these "Gingers" is just play ground fun compared to the cruelty of Hitler and the Jews and such... But regardless, I never thought kicking a Red Head would be a holiday. When is Kick A Dumb Blond day coming?

[Rob38]

Just another update... I'm currently transferring all my modding stuff to a different computer and am getting a new video card. Will take a little while to install and transfer everything.

[Gfire]

Ah, I know that. Whew, it took forever for me to get around to putting bfme on my new computer.

[drogoth232]

Like I always say even though it is too late... Good Luck!

Just found this - a tribute to the most courageous warrior of the Rohirrim:

Dollost - dîr cuiol ú-'ar nin degi!

Le echelithar aen / Athar fuin ban
Rhaw lîn mannen
Ind tham lîn / Lanc na chen be-thobas.

Anant i vaethor ú-ritha
Hén Rohan / Fim sui anghathel
Bain a goeol.

Na vedui istant / Na vedui cenn / Dîr ú-naun hon ...
Vess e tiriant.

translation from Sindarin:

You fool - no living man can kill me!

You will be borne away / Beyond all darkness;
Your flesh devoured;
Your shriveled mind / Left naked to the lidless eye.


But still the soldier did not move,
Child of Rohan, / Slender as a steel-blade,
Fair yet terrible.

Too late he knew, / Too late he saw, / This was no man ...
He looked upon a woman.

... thought you might like it.

I love it. Where did you find those lyrics? Are they in the movie?

[Námo]

It's from the soundtrack of the movie - there's a lot of the lyrics to be found on different websites dedicated to the linguistics of Tolkien, and somewhere there's a PDF-file containing all the lyrics from the movie; maybe I should upload it to the3rdAge.net (resources) one day [though I doubt that many peoples are interested in lyrics in those languages (even if most of them are translated, too) ].

If I find something from the Battle of Helm's Deep, I sure will post it here.

IMO one of the most beautiful scenes from the movie is Éowyn singing THE FUNERAL OF THÉODRED KNOWN AS LAMENT FOR THÉODRED. I just can't watch that scene without tears in my eyes; words simply fails in describing the sheer beauty of that artistic performance.
