Summary

We've been there, and now we're back again: The Summer of the Rings draws to its close with a mini Pantheon of the Blood God episode. Kat and Nadia go in-depth with EA's The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for the PS2. Does it deserve to go into the Pantheon? Heck no -- we'll just spoil that for you up front -- but it's still worth talking about. From its bizarre final boss to an underspoken origin story that indirectly involves Hironobu Sakaguchi, the very existence of the Third Age was something of a marvel. Also in this episode: Nadia plays with witches who play with guns, Kat makes out with boyfriends who are also swords, and Pokemon fans are big mad for a change. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:55.8	Hello, Kat. Just moments ago, our Discord was saying that we should be the ones to host
0:59.6	Jeopardy. What do you think? Well, it can't be any worse than that one guy who apparently
1:03.7	plotted and harassed his way to the top, so. I think we'd be a slight improvement to that. So I like to think so anyway.
1:11.6	I think Aaron Rogers should be the new host of Jeopardy so that he won't be the Packers quarterback anymore.
1:18.0	He can't be both, you mean?
1:19.9	Yeah, no.
1:21.4	No, just be the Jeopardy.
1:22.8	Or else LeVar Burton.
1:24.0	He has those wonderful eyes.
1:25.5	So sparkly. Yeah, some people were saying LeVar didn't do so well,
1:29.7	but I think with a little practice, he'd be fine. No, it was Mike Richards was totally sabotaging him.
1:34.3	That's what it was. Okay, see, I haven't dug into the drama yet, but that sounds like something.
1:39.6	Mike Richards was the executive producer, you see. And so there was speculation that he was basically rigging the game to be able to be the host of Jeopardy.
