Shamus Plays: LOTRO, Part 11

I still haven't finished the Pie Quest. There are some things that my mind is not prepared to put up with.
But Nosey/Hungry Hobbits are the LotRo equivalent of blue shells, I was looking forward to the Scouring of the Shires after it.

So much like the Ringwraiths are drawn to the One Ring, hungry hobbits are drawn to delivery quest Pies? You should propably go and check if the baker uses some kind of Hellforge (or Helloven) to produce these pastries. You might not want to consort with powers such as that. Alternatively, you could propably make some pretty mean interrogation-pies in the Helloven.
Just like the Champions Online "Lets Play", your articles always make me want to both play and avoid the game in equal measure.
Maybe the pies would be easier to deliver if they gave you a speed boost. I'm sure there are some berries that would accomplish this. Then again, it would require you to eat the pie you're delivering.
And yet somehow, I'll bet you've got to avoid the hungry hobbits again, despite the fact that giving them the bad pies and thus making them never hunger for them again is apparently what Baron Hornblower of Smallbridge-the-Pies-Go-Over wants.DeAvatar said:
I gave up on ever using that bridge when on pie-runs; I always use the other one over by Bywater. And I've delivered and retrieved more pies on more alts then any sane person should have to deal with.
And yes, the pies give you a speed boost. The tool-tip for which, iirc, is "Hot pies! Coming through!"
You know, Lulzy should really swing by Sanderson's farm and do the egg-delivery quests too - and the chicken play quests while she's there anyway. Mwahahaha. Mwahahahaha! MWAHAHAHAH!
*Cough*
Sorry

"Someday we're going to need to talk about these trust issues you keep having." I think that's my favourite category of joke in these articles: the kind where you dare the reader not to believe that the game is really doing something as crazy as you claim, then show us the screenshot where it's *really doing it*. Well done!
As amusing as the tale of Lulzy has been so far, I think a normal person would have just said "Fuck it all" by now and either tried a more likely battle-oriented race (dwarves are probably tasked with goblin decapitation, not feeding prisoners) or dropped the game altogether. Some hobbits seem to have a thing for unyeilding dedication to truly miserable tasks...
