Why Atari Sucks! aka DDO is DDOn't

Okay, so I let an old guildmate from Everquest talk me into playing Dungeons And Dragons Online (DDO) developed by Turbine, Inc. I may in fact do a belated game review some other time, but in brief, it is not silly cartoons like the World of Lamecraft, nor is it 5000 people running around bragging about their Mitril Chain Panties they were able to craft after acquiring the skill from 900 hours of repetitive clicking like Everquest2. But they released DDO with about 20% of the content it should have had, and now they are moving to make it more like World of Warcraft at the fastest rate they can, this is sad because even though WoW has a high percentage of the market, the half it does not have are the players who want something more than Pokeman(tm) Adult.   more »

Sometimes at night my husband and I turn on the TV as background noise while we drift to sleep. Sometimes, we fall asleep to Letterman, sometimes it's a show on Discovery, but lately we've been catching bits and pieces of this show on VH1 called SuperGroup. The premise is really lame... to bring metal back to the forefront of the music scene by having Ted Nugent, Scott Ian, Sebastian Bach, Evan Seinfeld and Jason Bonham form a band. So these guys live together for a couple weeks and while the cameras are rolling, interesting stuff happens.

By interesting, I mean hilariously pathetic, borderlining disturbing.

First, just let me say that I gotta give it up to Bonham and Ian for being the most down to earth and clearly the most sane of the group. I have always loved Scott Ian and the beard he's sporting recently is just too badass. Also, I won't pick on Uncle Ted too much. The Nuge is popular here in his home state of Michigan and I gotta give him props for walking out of the room when Evan and Sebastian were photographing their scantily clad, semi-good-looking wives together (I believe the words he used were "degrading" and "soulless"). That said...
