    Escape to the Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

    I personally liked it a lot more than the overly dramatic 2nd and 3rd movies. Jack carried the movie just fine to me, and the jokes kept me laughing. It's certainly not a cinematic masterpiece, but it seems a lot closer to the high quality of the first movie than At World's End was.

    Leaked Microsoft Video Reveals Horrible Future for PC Gaming

    MC can market their MCBook/casual gaming platform all they want, I really don't care. But heaven help them if I have to use this piece of garbage to access my games. Steam, for all the advantages it gives me, still has a few kinks with its internet mode/offline mode transitions and such...

    Feeling very isolated

    Learn to value solitude, if you haven't already: it helps. And it lets you make use of time you have alone, whether you have 0 friends or 100. As for the friends you wish to have...I'd say find something you like to do, then make friends from there. Friendships are normally formed...

Granted, the visuals were amazing and I loved them, but that was drowned out by the sheer blandness of the characters and the few moments of...

    Smurfs Trailer Can Go Smurf Itself

    Whatever dude in marketing told the excecs that making the...*ahem* edgy jokes would draw in a crowd for a freaking SMURFS movie needs to be fired. You're making your sale on nostalgia, not jokes that would have been rejected from Shrek 5.5: the Suckquel.

    Therapist Repeats "Gaming is Like Snorting Cocaine" Claim

    In other news, building elaborate deathtraps with Legos will result in your child becoming the next Jigsaw. Also, taking a person's personal source of enjoyment results in anger and a desire to see it returned: no crap.

    Anime Recommendations?

    I personally found Eureka 7 to be quite interesting. It feels rather standard at first, but starts to really come into its own quickly: the story rapidly enters a dark and mindscrewy place :D . Plus, the animation itself is VERY high quality. Can't speak to the movie they made about the...
