Champions Online

I've tried a few MMORPGs over the years.  Everquest was strange, World Of Warcraft was cool at first but turned into a slog quickly, Stat Wars Galaxies sucked, and City Of Heroes had some good ideas but never managed to quite pull them together.  However, I am currently enjoying (and have been for almost a year) Champions Online quite thoroughly, and recommend it to most anybody who likes MMORPGs, superheroes, comic books, or video games with inane pop culture references sprinkled throughout.  Check it out?

This is probably the best episode of This American Life in months.

Y'know, if you're into that sort of thing.
