Episode 1: “In the Beginning” will be posted online Friday, October 14th at 11am Eastern.

“Four Tanks and a Healer” is a funny, two-part series created by filmmaker Larry Longstreth (“The Long, Slow Death of a Twenty-Something”, “Batman’s Gonna Get Shot in the Face”) under the watchful eye of “Lord of the Rings” executive producer, Mark Ordesky. The pilot episodes were created in the hopes that they will one day result in a full-fledged series. Watch the Trailer here.

“Four Tanks and a Healer” is an Adult Swim-style look at the lives these people live, from the sole perspective of their in-game characters. Taking place entirely inside an online roleplaying video game, the series follows a group of misfit gamers as they venture across fantastic landscapes and epic quests, all from the comfort of their real-life computer chairs.

Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Snowblind Studios are releasing a new vignette for their upcoming Action RPG, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

Middle-earth is home to creatures more fearsome than orcs. More cunning than trolls. More loathsome than giant spiders.

Lurking in the forgotten tombs of Barrow-downs, dwelling amongst the fallen dead, the Barrow-wights wait under reign of the Barrow-wight Lord. Revealed in this new video, the Barrow-wight Lord has overtaken this sacred Ranger burial ground. He uses magic and minions most foul to spread the rule of evil in the darkness and death of his lair.

Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Snowblind Studios release a new video and still assets for the upcoming video game The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, launching November 1.

To save Middle-earth… you must survive. The stealth and cunning of the human, the strong and true arrows of the Elf, the might and strength of the warrior dwarf – each must rely on the other during this vital mission or face a most certain defeat.

But some creatures dwell alone, subscribing to neither good nor evil. Their only allegiance is to themselves – an allegiance they fiercely protect.
