*The Tower Hills: The Western Watch of Middle-earth* The Tower Hills, or Emyn Beraid, stand as a significant geographical feature in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, located to the west of the Shire and overlooking the Gulf of Lune. These hills are characterized by their rolling, green landscapes and the ancient watchtowers built upon them. The highest of these towers, Elostirion, housed one of the palantíri, the seeing-stones, which faced the Undying Lands across the sea. Geographically, the Tower Hills are situated at the westernmost edge of Eriador, near the Grey Havens. The area is notable for its scenic beauty, with lush grasslands and gentle slopes offering panoramic views of the surrounding lands. The proximity to the sea brings a mild climate, and the hills are often shrouded in a mist that adds to their mystical aura. The inhabitants of the Tower Hills were mainly the Elves of Lindon, who built and maintained the towers. These Elves, led by Gil-galad and later Círdan the Shipwright, were the guardians of the palantíri and the region. Although primarily Elven, the area was also known to be visited by the Rangers of the North, who patrolled the borders of Eriador. The tactical importance of the Tower Hills was significant, primarily due to the presence of Elostirion and its palantír. This seeing-stone was unique as it was aligned westward, towards Aman, allowing the Elves to maintain a mystical connection with the Undying Lands. The towers served as watchpoints, providing early warnings of any approaching threats from the western seas or the northern wastelands. The hills also acted as a western outpost for the Elves, ensuring the safety of the Grey Havens, the primary port for those departing Middle-earth for Valinor. Historically, the Tower Hills hold a deep connection with the history of the Elves in Middle-earth. Built in the Second Age by Gil-galad, they stood as symbols of the Elves' enduring watchfulness and their longing for the Undying Lands. Throughout the Third Age, the towers remained under Elven control, and Elostirion's palantír remained untainted by the influence of Sauron, unlike other seeing-stones. In "The Lord of the Rings," the Tower Hills are mentioned as the location where Samwise Gamgee saw the departing Elven ships. This moment underscores the hills' role as a gateway to the Elves' final journey to Valinor. The Tower Hills, with their serene beauty and historical significance, encapsulate the themes of vigilance, farewell, and the enduring connection between Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. The hills stand as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Elves and their role in the larger narrative of Middle-earth, providing a poignant reminder of the world's ancient and mystical past.

Unfortunately the BFME games are all locked at 30 FPS, so strictly speaking I play at 30 FPS. I use a process called optical flow frame interpolation in post production to bring the final video up to 60 FPS.

Is this for pc?
