One serving was definitely not enough! I need seconds, thirds, and even thirty-fifths of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. More orc blood must be spilled, more carnage must ensure. So here it is, the second run through of this awesome RPG. Now the big question is: Did I manage to keep my no-death record intact over the course of another full 90 minutes? You’ll see.

That’s right: I finally did it! I finally cracked open a single-player game and dove in. You know one reason I avoided these was the fact that I had so much time taken up by MMOs, right? THIS ISN’T HELPING! All I can say is wow, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is the very definition of addicting. My very first play session, where I didn’t even know what I was doing, kept me enthralled for hours on end. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about you; I just used the opportunity practice with the controls before diving in for realz.

And here’s that moment — my first true trip into Mordor. Warning: I lost track of time here, too, but something extra special happened…

… I didn’t die! Not even once! I hope that doesn’t spoil the surprise. You can watch for yourself if you don’t believe me (and watch even if you do!). And then stay tuned as this is actually a series, from start to finish.
