The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (PC)

Ooh, my ring is cursed! Leave my ring alone, you're bigger than me! Never underestimate the power of my ring! Stop lusting after my ring; it is for my eyes only! If anyone seizes my ring, it will be the end of the world as we know it - have at thee! OK, OK, I'm a liar, my sincerest apologies.
