The G4 Fellowship Wishes A Happy Birthday To J.R.R. Tolkien

Posted January 3, 2011 - By Kevin Kelly

J.R.R. Tolkien would have been 119 years old if he were alive today, which isn't that up in years if you're an elf. Sadly, Tolkien himself was human, but that didn't stop Snowblind Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive from sending us a bottle of hearty cider in order to hoist a toast to the master himself. Their Lord of the Rings: War in the North RPG is scheduled to come out this year, and promises greater violence in the world of hobbits and elves that he created.

Our own Fellowship of the Feed consists Stephen Johnson, master wordsmith, as he pays elite homage to Tolkien himself while accompanied by Jake Gaskill, and Nikole "Elves Rule" Zivalich. Without Tolkien, the fantasy world as we know it today would be extremely different, and Elijah Wood and Sir Ian McKellen might have had very different careers. So raise your flagon, goblet, mug, or tankard and toast along with us. Happy Birthday, J.R.R.!

Happy b-day J.R.R. Tolkien!

I'm reading through the Silmarillian right now on my brand new Kindle.

Gandalf is a beast. Also, that was the most crazy toast I think I have ever heard.

Stephen, you're mixing up Twilight and Harry Potter. Not good.

...ANYONE could kill Edward. (There's a shirt that says "Buffy staked Edward, The End." Awesome.)

P.S. It would be close. Getting technical, it would depend on if Gandalf's magic could block Voldemort's, which it probably could. In which case Gandalf wins instantly.

What 8| Stephen that was probably the best nonsense I have heard in my life! Laughed so hard!

And Nikole, You are crazy if you think Voldemort can kill Gandalf.

Btw you do look really young!
