| Review:
ATM Babes is part of a network of sites put out by
the same outfit (AdultLounge) that does Reality
Members (as well as a whole lot of other stuff). It is a very small network. Only
three sites. For some
reason it's called Pornstar Members. Apparently this is because you
also get the official sites of Mason Storm and Victoria Givens with your
membership. Are
Mason Storm and Victoria Givens pornstars? Do they have any un-official
sites? Who are Mason Storm and
Victoria Givens?
Mason Storm's site featured eight pic sets and three videos. Not a lot
of video, but at least we could download them. That's exceptional for
this network. Victoria Givens had 15 streaming videos and 74 pic sets.
Layout is the same for these two sites, ATM Babes, and the other
AdultLounge sites we've seen. See our review of Reality Members for more
detail. In a nutshell: Small pics, some decent video, a jumbled
presentation and sloppy design, not a lot of content, throwaway extras,
and questionable update schedules.
That's what we were expecting here. Then we were further disillusioned.
You can't download any of the videos. You can only watch them
as streams. We were not happy about that at all. Sure there are some
decent streaming video sites (like Ten.com),
and other guys who want to protect their content other ways (like using
DRM), but our bottom line is we want to download the video. In addition
to getting to the fact that you get to keep it, downloadable video
always has much better playback. Streaming video just isn't our thing.
Having said that, what about the video here? Well, this is a "reality" porn site, which means it involves
some silly set-up before we get to the sex. Here we have a girl named Victoria
accompanied by a Cro-Magnon musclehead stunt dick named "Fabio"
(he's
the
one
in
the
Metallica
t-shirt)
who come to the aid of women who are having trouble using ATM
machines.
While we were watching these shenanigans it suddenly struck us
that we could no longer remember what ATM stood for before it was
adopted by the porn industry as shorthand for "ass-to-mouth".
Was it Automated Teller Machine? Something like that.
Anyway--to try and make a lame story short--our two
heroes end up taking the girl back to their apartment and showing her
the real meaning of ATM.
And there you have it. 18 streaming videos, 26 photo
galleries--numbers which are pretty much standard for all the
sites these guys put out. The photos weren't bad. Lots of anal. Of
course, the whole point of ATM action is that you have to see an
unedited shot of the dick coming out of the girl's ass and going into
her mouth, and you can't do that with still photography. There were icons saying that "New" stuff
had been added, but no dates were given. The members section always
gives the date of the last update as whatever today's date is, without
mentioning what that update is. Meanwhile, the dates that are given on the site tour
say that the last
content was added nearly a year ago.
In other words, you can probably expect 18 videos
whenever you visit.
We don't want to seem unfair. When you get down to it, there's nothing terribly wrong with
the content here. It's standard amateur "reality porn" stuff.
Production values are shit and the girls aren't the greatest, but this
is low-budget, skanky ATM sex so what do you expect? Unfortunately, there are
two huge problems: (1) you don't get very much stuff, and (2) what you
do get you have to watch as a stream. Is that worth $30 a month? We'd
give this site a slightly higher grade if we could at least download the
video. As it is, the whole thing just seems like bonus content you
shouldn't be paying for. |
