Any chance of Shadow of Mordor? I think Gandalf would like it. Happy new year and thanks for the content. It's all been great. Who would have thought something good could have come out of Rings of Power...
Gandalf: "You will suffer me, bro!" Suddenly I want a gamer channel for Gandalf where he does all manner of games from survival-horror to simulator and Boromir is his co-commentator 🤣👌
Dude, you've stumbled on the $1million dollar idea, an idea that's worth more than the Shire itself. Just hearing Gandalf say anything while doing anything is fertile soil for comedy. Shoot, just have him playing congas would be funny. Great work! Edit: or that farm simulator. :)
This is one of the great gems of LOTR games. I remember playing this with my older sister, going through the story and levels. Aragorn was always my main, while she mained Legolas. We both often clowned on Gimli and never used him lol. I can still remember the two of us often competing to see who could get the most orc kills at the end of the levels. She often won with higher kill counts after she maxed out Legolas' arrow skills. I swear dude was hella OP in ranged, him being able to hit/kill two targets at once and only consume a single arrow from it. Ahhh good times....
The nostalgia is real. I haven't played these games since I was like seven or eight. Now I'm 31 and I'm like I remember most of this stuff lol and the commentary just makes it so much better 😂
Haha wow, real solid memories are flowing here. I was about 14 and my sisters bf came round. We played this all night lmao, she was fckin fuuuurious! 2 years later they were married (still are) and I still love him more than her. Big man Steve, love you bro.
Really missed the "YOU. SHALL NOT. PASS" at 10:35. Or at 12:00 you could've said "I SHALL PASS...." Great videos though. Really love watching these. Also played the game so many times b4. 😁
I’m 31, was like oh, 13 maybe when I got my gamecube and this game plus Two Towers and King Kong. I went ahead and bought a gamecube and those games again. And, just the happiness and memories I have, is just wonder to feel again
It is true I played this game in ancient times on even more ancient machine so the framerate was far from fluid for me, however I remember I did struggle more and had dated checkpoints numerous times in these early levels, certainly not breezed through them like Gandalf do...on HARD difficulty mind you. Oh well, I guess this could be one of those "wizard stuff". PS: love all those running around, it is like a good foreplay or thespian script in corn before action it gives everything tint of truthfulness and payback when button mashing will finally commence.
【Shades Finnish Pirates】This game was a masterpiece, in it's atomosphere and well the general feeling & fun of the Co-op. I gotta admit if the game was not about Middle-Earth i would not remember it as fondly as i remember it now and to be fair i think the game would be not so good if the people doing the game were not inspired by the Middle-Earth
I cant believe this is actually the real Ian McKellen that smokes the game totally :) Hilarious and funny ! ;) At first I thought he was a fake impersonator"
One does not, simply, button mash, without consequence. It is, folly. He will bear the wounds, as if he'd been stabbed, by a Morgul blade. It is long, since we have seen any hope, of having blister free thumbs.
Happy New Year! Gandalf returns, at the turn of the tide. if we can continue to get 4k likes i'll keep going with this series

Please keep going with the series, these videos are amazing!
@@30noir maybe down the line, fellowship of the ring and bfme are in front first though
LOR Third Age is one of the best old games made…. Like to see you try that one Charlie.
Gandalf plays Elden Ring...?
I could watch Gandalf playing farm simulator and I’d still be entertained
that gives me an idea
@@CharlieHopkinson Wouldn't that be more Radagast's genre?
@@CharlieHopkinsonGandalf should play shadow of mordor and shadow of war games.
"Also I get the games from a dodgy looking shop in Branford..." Brilliant already.
He should play one with a joystick next lol
As a lad from Bradford I'm both hurt and pissing myself laughing 😂
"When you put this on CZcams, do you think people will watch me just running up and down?"
He says while I happily watch him just run up and down...
“Took this, I’m off. It’s the popo..” 🤣🤣🤣🤣I swear, every one of these lines he does in that nonchalant Gandalf voice is GOLD
That burn on Boromir had me in stitches. Bravo!
"The trick is pre-emptive slashing. Advice I use in all walks of life". This almost killed me.

“Something about this bridge makes me feel uneasy” 😂😂😂 golden
That Legolas impression had me cracking up! “They’ve taken the hobbits to Isengard!!”😮😂😂

if you jump backwards trough the mist, you'll go faster trought it. Child me life hacks.. And a happy new year!!
Isn't baby Elrond just mad because Gandalf kept saying "Fly You Fool", "Fly You Fool" every time he tossed him?
Secondary reason

"Come at me and you get Shikaboobed" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
1:37
Was that a Futurama reference? Never knew Zap learned his strategies from Gandalf

Imagine just ripping iconic lines from the movie.
I’ll never forget at the battle for helmsdeep Gandalf shouting “button bash is a combo Aragorn “
1:37 definitely a Zapp Branigan tactic that won him a famous battle.
I heard he defeated a horde of rampaging somethings in the something something system!
@@IanLundholm “When I’m in command, every mission is a suicide mission”
Man seeing this game brings back some good memories of me and my two little brothers just button mashing to Mordor
One of the greatest PS2 games ever. If you could play as Baby Elrond it would easily be number 1.
He'll be back next episode
@@CharlieHopkinson he means in game, guv
I like how Gandalf just shuts down Boromir, then Boromir starts making little petty comments. perfect lol
Best New Years gift ever.
“Button bash is a combo” ahahah
Wow. This game brings back so much nostalgia. I miss my gamecube man!
This game was so addictive
The best gameplay I have ever seen I'll tell you that much!
This is one of the LOTR games i would play alot back then when i was like 12 to 14, now I'm like 32 now, man time flies by
Crack it out again
This really was the best game of its era!
Keep making Gandalf vids they’re hilarious
Happy new year and that was brilliant can’t wait for number 3
Dude your content is untouchable absolutely amazing
Happy new year man. These videos give me so much joy. Thank you
Thank you Charlie! Don't expect to see the second part already. Brilliant as always. Happy New Year!
This game me and my twin use to complete every couple of years, still fun today
Charlie this is gold. Please do continue :)
Love the Zapp Branigan reference😆
All these videos make me want to cuddle up next to Gandalf on that comfy looking leather couch. 😂❤
Charlie you are my favourite CZcams channel I will NEVER get bored of gandalf roasts 😅😅😅 hilarious mate 🤣🤣🤣
The come at me bro line.....split my sides. Lol
1:40 I think of that futurama reference at least once a week. The mention makes me feel more sane.
This has become my favorite channel I love it!
Sassy Gandalf is life
"In its place I'd have been a Queen, more fabulous than the foundations of the Earth" 🤣
Really missed the "YOU. SHALL NOT. PASS" at 10:35. Or at 12:00 you could've said "I SHALL PASS...." Great videos though. Really love watching these. Also played the game so many times b4. 😁
This was gold! Couldn’t stop laughing!😂
Lol you started it well you are trespassing 😂😂
I hope you do all the levels 👍
When Boromir asked to play, you could have also said: "No, you already died hours ago."
Brilliant! Thanks for the laugh
“You don’t wash your socks on quests.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How does this not have 10000 likes? This is great!
Great work! Keep up the hard work! Can't wait to see the next one! Will you be doing the next Andor video soon as well?
This man is truly gifted!
This is one game that needs an remaster
Love this
Not enough Legolas running in this one. Series already going down the shitter 🖤
Please keep doing these
You know the game was great when it felt too short
Ned scolding Gandalf on gaming, nothing more hilarious hahaha. More stuff like that
THIS is glorious content!
I’m 31, was like oh, 13 maybe when I got my gamecube and this game plus Two Towers and King Kong. I went ahead and bought a gamecube and those games again. And, just the happiness and memories I have, is just wonder to feel again
Lol I have yet to see you use a single combo button. Mashing is a combo 😂😂
The sounds of this game are wired in my soul
4:45 fooking awesome! YORKSHIRE
"Took balls" 😆
Happy New Year CHARLIE! my favorite voice actor ;p
The game logic of this section is formidable: defeat as many waves as possible of the army that is supposed to help you.
I expected Road to Isengard, but that was still pretty good lol. More Gandalf levels though - they’re incredible!
Love the Zapp Brannigan reference.
Sometimes I forget this is Charlie and think it is Ian chilling playing games as Gandalf.
This is great
This must burn so many calories like a hip workout too soon 😂
Nice one Charlie, I wasn't expecting Gandalf to launch Yung Elrond into orbit! It cracked me up ......just after a gob full of tea!
I love it. Thank you so much. 🥲
Love it hahaha, one prayer for Steve at least he mae it until 2023 before he was killed and another prayer for baby Elrond´s hip.
Nooooo, so wanted to see the reaction to the actual boss fight. Hopefully next time!
"How you playing a gamecube game with a xbox controller?"
"I have laptop." 😎
I named my dog Pippin. It's fun to watch his ears perk up when I watch The Lord of the Rings DVDs on TV.
The really really short version of LOTR is the eagles just flying the ring to mount Doom with Sam and Sam throwing it in the fire job done
Would love a pippin cameo when Gandalf is having a bad day
I loved this game at the time 🤩
That new Elf Butter lotion has got Gandalf’s hands looking younger and better than ever?
Brilliant

Would Gandalf play the PC strategy BFME? Love your videos Charlie!
The Legolas impression was pretty spot on tbh
12:20 As a very old game, that's a very sleek transition
Gandalf is a gaming boss 😂 and those roasts on Aragorn, Gandalf and Aragorn roast battle anyone?
I cant believe this is actually the real Ian McKellen that smokes the game totally :) Hilarious and funny ! ;) At first I thought he was a fake impersonator"
How are you going to get the Oath Breakers to fight with you if you are wracking them with your swords? Aren’t they your last chance for help??
The most appropriate title. It has been recognised for years that this game is the best game ever amongst my brother and cousins
I love gandalf playing video games, plz make more
Now we need Dumbledorf playing Hogwarts Legacy.
We need "shadow of war" and comments on all the canon destroying story.
One does not, simply, button mash, without consequence. It is, folly.
He will bear the wounds, as if he'd been stabbed, by a Morgul blade.
It is long, since we have seen any hope, of having blister free thumbs.
Legolas has the same voice actor as Ewan McGregor in German.
"...not Gimli..." guess nobody ever played Gimli ever
