There’s a fantastic LotR total conversion mod for TW: Rome. It was also ported to RW: Rome Remastered, so very easy to play even on modern hardware.
EDIT: Search for Lord of the Rings: Total War (Remastered) for the most recent version of the mod.
That’s not Darth Maul, that’s Master Ima-Gun Di (pronounced “I’mma gon’ die”). His one and only appearance is on a episode of Clone Wars, and at the end of the episode he and his clones are overwhelmed by enemy droids and he dies.
Yes, his name is just a play on “I’m going to die”, because he was created with the explicit purpose of getting killed on screen.
Trader Joe’s has been owned by Aldi* since 1979. The fact that they managed to maintain the image of a wholesome company as long as they have is astounding.
(there are actually two different Aldi companies from Germany, owned by two brothers who split from the original company to make Aldi Nord (North) and Aldi Sud (South), that go by different names depending on the country they’re in. Aldi Nord is Trader Joe’s in the US, and Aldi Sud just goes by Aldi in the US)
Elminster got with Mystra first. Even wilder, Mystra magically changed Elminster’s gender as punishment (Elminster got his start as a thief) and made him serve as a female human cleric of Mystra for a while. Only when he was back in her good graces did she gender swap him back so she could bonk him.
All of this was before he was even a wizard. Elminster has seen some shit.
So in the report by Meta, they go into a little more detail. One post in particular claimed that Fort Detrick is the origin of Covid. Fort Detrick is located in Maryland, and a quick google shows that it hasn’t worked on biological weapons since the late 60s.
Closest I can think of is the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic game from 2006, from Arkane (who later went on to make Dishonored and more recently Prey and Deathloop). First person, you pick your class between Fighter, Wizard, and Rogue, and most of the combat involves figuring out how to use traps, physic, and magic to kill your targets. Lots of ledges to kick monsters off of or spikes to knock monsters into, or creating ice on the floor as a wizard to make enemies slip to their deaths. Holds up pretty well for a 15+ year old game.
I never got too deep into it, but I enjoyed ~10 hours of it before getting distracted by other games. It felt more like a park business simulator like Roller Coaster Tycoon, rather than an elaborate park and ride designer like Planet Coaster.
It’s totally worth $15 if you want to scratch that itch.
