Last night, Turbine and Midway held "launch events" in select cities for their newest fantasy MMO, Lord of the Rings Online. What was expected? A little cosplay maybe? A gaggle of geeks? Something, anything? Sadly, I got none of this in Los Angeles. Instead, all I got was a drunk Armenian, two cosplay girls, a punk chick, and a Jessica Chobot.
As you can see from the glorious photos, this event was quite the disappointment. At least Chobot was there to keep me company. Thanks Jessica!

Chobot HAPPENED to be there? Right Summa, you're either a stalker or I need to start a gaming-news-gossip blog.
Despite LoTR having good name recognition and being an excellent IP, I seriously doubt the sanity of anyone who goes head to head with WOW. If people want to make an MMO they are going to need to offer something different, Blizzard has done pretty much everything right.
I was actually really glad she ended up being there. Otherwise, I would have been very lonely. :(
If destructoid needs someone to report gaming events in new york, let me know.
Yup most are like that here in new york too. It makes it hard to take pictures of used pc games cdkeys with my self phone. I havent been caught yet.
cheapskating little kids from their games.
Sure...we'll buy your final fantasy 12, $10.
But your selling your used copies for 40 bucks!
