Its also confirmed that Episode 2: Special edition should come out in November along with Episode 3. And it'll stay that way, with a special edition being released next to the regular episode everytime.

 Episode 4 news

Episode 4 of Bored of the Rings is called 'The mines of Mankier.' That is where the episode will primarily be set. Although, with any luck it'll get to the point where episode 5 can be the link between 'The fellowship of the Ring' and 'The Two Towers'.

 The writing i've done so far shows that this'll be the best episode to date, well, i think it will anyhew.

Easter Eggs and interesting facts...

Trailer

1. The ending is a parody of the Metal Gear Solid 3 trailer. "Who are the patriots..."
2. Look out for all the characters who changed Actors after the trailer: Anthony Jackson as Bormee, Mat Growcott as Gamey.
3. In the trailer, the rings could talk. This is something which it is yet to do in the Series...

Christmas Special

1. This was the first episode written after the trailer. So its still finding it's legs. The series slowed down a little (thanks god...)
2. Goodgulf has an addiction to dumplings
3. Parodies: A christmas Carol, Cheers, Lassy, the simpsons, Rudolph the red nose raindeer, Lord of the Rings (More then usual :P).
4. Look out for me (fido) calling Spam sam several times...

Episode 1

1. The first Movie Goer is Joe, from the upcoming Random Insanity Productions Flash animation, "The Joe Show". Also, the second movie goer is Mat's real voice...scary...
2. "Bimbo! I just brought the new Hobbit Game!" Nuff Said :P
3. "Merry And Pippin: Explore the ring" Another reference to Lord of the rings...

Episode 2

1. For those who didn't know, Nostradamus predicted things :D. I think he was greek...
2. The guy at the bar says "Hello, my name is micheal". I don't wanna get sued, so use your imagination...

Other Stuff

1. I'd like to make it completely clear that the Bored of the rings,Christmas Special, was purely for entertainment and was put together in about 4 days. From writing to release. I, however, didn't like it ^_^ and so from this day onwards the Christmas Episode is just cannon, and not part of the main series in any way.
2. I said at christmas that by now i wanted to have Bored of the Rings finished and never to be touched again.
   
    This isn't how its worked out. So i expect this will go into next year and it may even have another, GOOD christmas special. But probaly not...
