Thanks to Malachi for sending this in:

"This might be a bit of a stretch, but I really don't think so. Ever since Warcraft was released I thought there was some interesting coincidences in a game about Orcs vs. Humans. Well Warcraft 3 is getting closer to release, and after watching the LOTR game trailer the other day, I went to their site to watch the Warcraft 3 trailer. Maybe I am just obsessed with LOTR :) but it really made me think of the movies. They have characters called Mountain Kings or "Thanes". Sound like Thrain King under the Mountain to you? Some of their shots show a helm, I am sure we have seen in LOTR shots. Like I said maybe I am reaching, but they certainly remind me of each other. If nothing else, watch the trailer it will give you goosebumps."
