The world of Middle-earth is far more expansive than the tales of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. While Frodo, Gandalf, Samwise, Bilbo, and Gollum might be some of the most familiar faces to Middle-earth fans, J.R.R. Tolkien masterfully built his fantasy world with a staggering level of detail and lore–all of which can explored in The History of Middle-earth series. Compiled and edited from Tolkien’s manuscripts and notes by his son Christopher Tolkien, The History of Middle-earth was originally published in the 1980s and ’90s. The best-known entry in the series is The Silmarillion, which is one of the source materials for Prime Video’s The Rings of Power. Like all Tolkien books, it has received multiple reissues, including gorgeous new 2024 editions and a staggeringly massive three-book set containing all 12 volumes.

If you want to read The Complete History of Middle-earth, the best option right now is the 2020 hardcover set. Originally $250, the weighty collection is on sale for $111.62 as part of Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days sale.

A new patch for Gran Turismo 7 has resulted in the credits payouts Sports betting site B Sports of several races being reduced.

(Editor’s note: This review contains spoilers for Episode 3.) About 20 minutes into Take Us Back, the finality of it all truly starts to sink in. This is the last chance we get to ensure Clementine is going to be okay. These are the last lessons we teach A.J. This is the last ever episode of The Walking Dead. So, it’s rather appropriate that Take Us Back is very much about legacy, about taking everything Clementine’s learned–and you along with her–and wrapping it all up in a bow.

It’s not nearly as clean cut as that; it is The Walking Dead, of course, and the night gets plenty dark before the dawn. After Clem gets her bearings, and you get to decide what to do with Lilly, it’s a rather breathless race to keep ahead of the horde of walkers the Ericson kids have brought down on the immediate area. They’re everywhere, and in a particularly hostile mood after Lilly’s trigger-happy goons draw their attention. On top of that, weaponry is in short supply, which means there’s much more avoidance than shooting this time around. For what it’s worth, the shooting is simplified in this episode, with bow-and-arrow moments made much more forgiving and impa…

According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, this is the opinion of international brokerage Sanford C Bernstein Limited owing to the high price tag that would likely accompany any such acquisition.
