We all know the saying "One cannot simply walk into Mordor." But is it true, or was Boromir just being a pessimist? Kerry Shawcross and Chris Demarais of Rooster Teeth (the Red Vs. Blue guys) decided to find out for themselves by flying to New Zealand, and setting out from the set of Hobbiton to Mount Ngauruhoe, the mountain that stood in for Mount Doom. Turns out the walk between the two is a touch over 120 miles long, but luckily these two have a guide, sleeping bags, lembas bread, and plenty of farm animals to harass along the way. The first part of their journey is above, and it's pretty fun - I look forward to them getting conscripted into Sauron's army in episode 2.
