If you're knee-deep in Lord of the Rings nerdom, then tonight is your night, my young hobbit. Across the country at 11 p.m., there will be various Lord of the Rings Online events to celebrate its final release at your friendly Gamestop or EB. In fact, if you live in the Los Angeles area, then not only can you attend one of these events but you can also meet the World Famous Robert Summa! That's right, I'll be there, fending off sweaty nerd types trying to get a taste of this culture.
