This is insanely nerdy but I have a pretty good excuse I guess you'd say... lol Watching the Two Towers again the other day I commentated all the battle scenes in terms of Illy combat. "Oh lookit here come the elven trueshot alliance reinforcements. Oh and the orc spear units. There are a lot of those because they are cheap to make.".... and so on.  ...oh the shame...
