Re: What's coming? Here's what we know.
Wow, nice work.
Here's a question that I'm too lazy to look up and answer for myself: when is E3? In other words, on what date can we expect to hear news of Turbine's announcement?

But let's be clear with the facts. There WILL be an announcement at E3, and it'll be something Adam Mersky is stoked about.
No idea what the scope of the announcement will be.
Depending on Adam's interests it could be about a new startup icon for the desktop. No more gold ring, it's gonna be a big 'ol Hobbit head.[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#ffffff][COLOR=red][FONT=Tahoma][B][COLOR=darkorchid]Second Marshal[/COLOR] Luc Brandenbuck[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#a9a9a9][FONT=Tahoma] ~[B]Battlemaster[/B]~

Re: What's coming? Here's what we know.
He was pretty clearly "stoked" about Enedwaith and Isengard in the PAX video, so while it's pretty safe to assume The Announcement™ will involve more details about one or both of those, though we don't know which. Originally Posted by Thane9
