This entry is a record-breaking seven pages long, so there&#8217;s a lot of abuse for you to enjoy this week. I notice the entries are getting longer.  Five pages used to be the norm.  Then I started hitting six. And now we have seven.  (For the record, I can&#8217;t see the page breakdown until it goes live.  I just aim for 1,700 &#8211; 2,100 words with as many screenshots as are needed to tell the story.)   I&#8217;m not sure If I&#8217;m just pushing the upper limits of the word count more often, or if I&#8217;m using more images. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, like I said: Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/articles\/view\/columns\/shamusplays\/7575-Shamus-Plays-LOTRO-Part-18\">this link to read the entry<\/a>. Or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/articles\/view\/columns\/shamusplays\/7575-Shamus-Plays-LOTRO-Part-18\">this one<\/a>. Or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/articles\/view\/columns\/shamusplays\/7575-Shamus-Plays-LOTRO-Part-18\">this<\/a>. Just don&#8217;t just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/articles\/view\/columns\/shamusplays\/7575-Shamus-Plays-LOTRO-Part-18.7\">this link<\/a>, because that leads to the last page and you&#8217;ll end up reading the entry out of order. Furthermore, clicking on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomwebsite.com\/cgi-bin\/random.pl\">this link<\/a> is probably a bad idea, because I have no idea where you&#8217;ll end up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click on this link and laugh as I am abused by the gleeful sadists at Turbine.
