    Rapper and actor Ice-T is well known as a big gamer, but recently he tried something a bit different — recording an audiobook set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. As he recounts on his podcast, the fantasy book proved a daunting challenge for the Law & Order: SVU star. "Dungeons & Dragons is some of the most crazy, deep, deep, deep nerd shit ever invented," he explains. "Every word you're saying is made up. Motherfuckers talk like Yoda." The language proved difficult enough that the recording was spread out over two days, as opposed to the single afternoon he expected — it took Ice-T three and half hours to get through 25 pages of material. "This shit is impossible to read," he says. It's unclear which book he was reading, or when the audiobook will be available, but it sounds like you'll want to listen to the results either way. "Considering the way music is right now," says Ice-T, "you're better off listening to a book."
