My favorite recent LotR media:
There is a Lord of the Rings MMO (like World of Warcraft) and a guy made a video recording a walk from the Shire to Mordor. Like you can just walk from the Shire to Mordor in the game. And it's almost 10 hours long in real world time to do that! But on top of that the whole journey is narrated by the Lord of the Rings audio book, with the relevant parts of the journey.

Incredibly relaxing
- dtgriscom 10mo agoA nice, relaxing trip to Mordor.
- vhtr 10mo agoOh man, something to watch and listen to in the evenings to come, thank you! I don't have experience with the LotR Online outside of small clips here and there, but for the past 5 years or so I have been enjoying a bit more retro LotR "mmorpg", a free-to-play MUD that has been in development since 1991 or something: https://mume.org/ https://mume.org/ In MUME (Multi-Users in Middle Earth) getting from Bree to Mordor by walking won't take you 10 hours, but maybe 10 minutes at most. However, the trip and the destination will be full of dangers, whether it's from pve or pvp side of things. As a side note, MUME is being developed by volunteers, and I believe the game itself is still ran on some Swiss University servers, where it all began, heh.
- vitorfblima 10mo agoBack in the day I used to log in to a MUSH called Elendor (telnet). It was simply magical and I have many good memories venturing through middle-earth and meeting fellow chars.
- vhtr 10mo agoIt is crazy to me how captivating and immersive text-based games can be. I've been exploring them for fun in recent years, the roots of modern mmorpgs. Fun to come across stuff you still have in modern games. :)
- SockThief 10mo agoThat is so good! Thank you! Do you happen to know where does the narration by Andy Serkis come from? Is it a game? An audiobook?
- cpburns2009 10mo agoAndy Serkis did a narration of the Lord of the Rings books a few years ago. My guess is it comes from that.
- SketchySeaBeast 10mo agoAndy Serkis has versions of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion all on Audible.
- bombcar 10mo agoIt’s my book and they’ll walk if I tell them to!
- Aromasin 10mo agoI recommend trying to visit the ArdaCraft minecraft server. They're trying to faithfully recreate the LotR world at 1:58 scale, and I've spent some time attempting to do the whole walk over some evenings the past few months. It's absolutely incredible the amount of love and detail has gone into crafting the world.
- FergusArgyll 10mo agoHe simply walked into Mordor?!

- russellbeattie 10mo agoHa! I watched it for a little while on 2x and it was very cool. Then Frodo hit the river and dives in, swimming across with perfect freestyle form like Michael Phelps! I literally guffawed and thought, "Well, that's one good way of avoiding the dark riders." Makes that dramatic jump to the barge a little less intense. ;-)
- chiph 10mo agoIt's about a 12 minute walk in Austin, from Hobbiton Trail to Mordor Cove. https://maps.app.goo.gl/EgUb7EXTaHguiPKJ7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/EgUb7EXTaHguiPKJ7
