Father’s day is rapidly approaching and if you’re dad has a rack full of ties that you’ve given him in past years that he never wears, it may be time to look for a different gift.

If you’re an online gamer, you may have heard that Codemasters Online has extended an invitation to online gamers to spend Father’s Day with their dad in Middle Earth.

What could be better then spending a few quality hours of father and child quality time, shooting the breezing while fishing in a virtual lake. The question is, would your father come willingly or would you need to drag him to the virtual lake kicking and screaming.

This Father’s Day, June 15th, LOTR (Lord of the Rings) online will have a number of special activities that you can pursue with your dad. Fishing was one of them, but if getting “virtually wet” is not your cup of tea, there will also be music, fireworks and other special challenges throughout the day.

Many restaurants have inflated prices with special Father’s Day menus and the waits can be horrendous. Now you can bypass both the cost and the delays because Codemasters Online is recommending that dads use the free trial at trylotro.com to get online.

Here’s one gift your dad surely won’t be able to leave in his closet unused.
