For anyone wondering, yes this is STILL from the recording batch during release week. When you start seeing Outlaw Tribes, Slaughter Tribes, #Gravewalker Difficulty etc. you'll know we're in the modern day but back then, none of those existed.

(Yeah, but real talk a mo) I know there's all likelihood to be a good chunk of people who scream "RIPOFF!" in the comments so lemme just beat y'all to the punch. I know I'm not the glorious man himself, I ain't trying to be. Doesn't change the fact I've seen people decry many a decent Shadow Of Mordor video for being a knock-off even when they weren't trying to be. Thus, I, another English shouty (admittedly less graphic-ish) bloke looking to experiment with edited content knew I was going to get a smack with that old hammer too. So why fight it? There was no way to pass this up, but to do the joke properly I had to embrace the knockoff and help Tallioon to his true destiny! To be, THE DISCOUNT RANGER! Congrats! You're a wraith, banished from death! But someone else has already been owning that gig for years, now what? And the narrative just writes itself :D

So instead, go celebrate the return of our Mordor lord. The T to the O to the amazing G! (Yes, that's Tearofgrace for you folks at the back, who somehow still keep missing this and think either I don't know or am however trying to "get away" with something under the radar). Link in the endcard and description. Peace y'all! For on this day, The #DiscountRanger rides for Mordor!

Other than that. I hope you enjoy this satire story of shameless knock-off as it revels in the ripping! :D That said I didn't want to steal the WHOLE style (e.g. bad joke cutaways, screams etc.) - the older more sedate (but still dramatic) SoM-era style was the aim. Plus there's a growing amount of "me" in here as time goes by since, well, we're different dudes.
TLDR; cut a guy some slack eh? :)
