Flash Completed Behind the Dune [v2.36.2] [David Balsamique]

[SarahGheist]

Well, this proves that you are full of shit. Literally none of that is true.

The common modern edition of The Hobbit differs somewhat from the first edition because it was revised by Tolkien to fit better with The Lord of the Rings (most famously by changing it so Gollum doesn't wager the ring in the riddle contest with Bilbo, but he also removed some modern-day references). It has not been abridged or edited to make it easier "for modern readers." (It was always a children's book.)

TLOTR has gone through several editions in which Tolkien made small tweaks and fixed some inconsistencies and other errors and typos (later editors have also made further corrections, mainly to things like punctuation and capitalization). But these are very minor changes: the book reads substantially the same as the first edition. It is categorically false that it has been abridged or changed because it was "deemed too difficult for readers."

The Silmarillion is the one book "by Tolkien" that actually has been been extensively edited and abridged, because he never finished writing it: it was pieced together (with edits and abridgments) by his son, Christopher Tolkien, based on lots of different, inconsistent manuscripts. There is no unabridged version, but most of the separate sources have been published in the History of Middle-Earth series (+ Unfinished Tales), which collects Tolkien's incomplete drafts, again edited by Christopher Tolkien. (Christopher also edited standalone, longer versions of some of the major stories included in the Silmarillion.)

Tolkien wrote different books (and unpublished stories) in different styles and for different audiences.



Do you not even notice that you're contradicting yourself, or are you a troll?

The Hobbit: There and Back Again released in the 1930s was originally written for his children. it was only published because people talked him into releasing what he originally never planned to publish at all. He was a Loremaster, Linguist, and Historian, among his many titles. So he used words and phrases 'the common man' do not. Also, the language has shifted between 1930 and today. And how he wrote is NOT how people write today. Thus, the current editions are - can you guess? They are all rewritten. Localized. MODERNIZED. Not for the academics, but for that guy over there who would rather be watching TikTok than "listening" to a book. And there is one of the reasons publishing has trouble with books like The Hobbit today. Most BookStores are gone. There are a few left, but not many. The entertainment industry has changed and books and movies are not what people are spending their time with.

And yes, I used to have several books that is really wish I still had: First edition of The Hobbit: There and Back Again! (But missing the dust jacket, book was originally blue or green (but had turned black) leather/cloth cover with an embossed ring covered in runes and lettering on the spine), Wolverine comic first edition (signed by Stan Lee), First edition Superman (missing a few pages & water damaged), The unabridged complete Wizard of Oz series, Crystal Singer (signed by Anne McCaffery), and more. Where are they now? My family sold them when I was elsewhere thinking they were just 'old books'. Nuff said.

Yeah, that's nonsense.

The rewrites you talk about are completely imaginary. They never happened. And this is easily verified.

Tolkien has an extremely devoted fandom, so there are literally books that document the history of his texts from the very first notes jotted down and up to the typos in the latest printed editions. For The Hobbit, that book is The History of The Hobbit by John D. Rateliff, which I own and have read. But the core information is also easily available online.

So just stop with this.

I just remembered how this game is rare gem. All together, mix of design, gameplay, open world with followers, events, animations, stability, stories, characters - this is a true masterpiece. And we need more games like this, and this is should be minimum level of quality like this.

The fun thing is the game it's inspired from, which would be Cryo Interactive 1992 Dune, was a stange as fuck game, but it was also very good, especially for the time. Quite a gaming experience for the stone age of gaming.

Playing this with JoiPlay. So I load up the .swf in JoiPlay. The .exe doesn't work. .swf does work. But there is a continuous overlay of the map and an info box, so I can't select anything in game. Any ideas?

Yeah, same soundtrack and 'mom'. Anyway I praise dev for his interpretation and fun functions. For example, we make followers and they do commentary on things. This is not so easy to code I know and doing nothing for progression in game, but fun how you can create situations on your own.

You, sir, are retarded. I have a copy of the original US printing of the Hobbit and LOTR. They belonged to my dad who bought them when they were new. I have copies printed at the time of the Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy. And I have the recent Illustrated editions where they contain maps and art done by Tolkien himself. I have read them all in the last couple of years multiple times because my child loves them. There are no "edits for modern audiences".

You are thinking of the updated versions they released of Roald Dahl's children's books where they removed things deemed "problematic", and the discontinuation of many of Dr. Seuss' books.

While alive, Christopher Tolkien would not have allowed such to be done the books. And the Embracer Group (which currently owns the rights to the Lengendarium) would be eviscerated and its buildings sacked and pillaged if they tried to do so.

This is my favourite but sadly this specific part isn't fully designed. It feels like you would get a from behind position but it is only implied through this lovely image.
