I really need to get a scanner so I can upload some "drawings" that I've done, but what are some good scanners I could look into getting. Oh and maybe cheap ones too.

Alright, so its Sunday April the 6th. I have just got up from my comotoast state. I turn my computer on. I start going around the internets, and I want to go to Gamespot, but its running so goddamn slow it feels like I'm on a 56K again. Oh and people might say that I should try other sites to see if it isn't my connection.....Well, it's not. Other websites run just fine and load fine while it takes two minutes for Gamespot to load one F#$%ing page.

Argh!! This is just so annoying. I want to be able to go around my unions and see what is new with everyone, but no; I can't since Gamespot is running so slow.

Sorry for my b!tching, I just needed to get it out.

Yesterday, I was bored and I decided to try out the Pirates Of the Caribbean "free to Play" on-line game. It's alright, has lots of customising that you can do, and it plays cleanly. You can play has a pirate that is helping Captin Jack Sparrow from an evil undead pirate (don't remeber the name since I didn't play it that much). You get a rusty knife and a one shot hand canon, also a three man boat. That's about where the free to play stops. You only get seven days with it full screen and you can't upgrade any of the characters equipment (or even the boat), and you can't do any of the other quest. That is unless you want to pay an arm and a leg to be able to do more things in it, they call it "unlimited access". Well, to me I thought all "free to play" games had unlimited acess to the game and all the upgrades and all the quests off the bat. So I find it BS that Disney is trying to advertivse a "free to play" game when you can't really do jack in it. I really want to go to the better business bureau and complain about this. The prices they offer to get unlimited access is as followed(these are off the web site):

MONTHLY: $4.95 first month / $9.95 for each additional month(That's about a $100 a year)

SEMIANNUAL: $49.95 for 6 months -- 15% discount!(So is that)

ANNUAL: $79.95 for 12 months -- 33% discount! (That's 80 and its the cheapest one of the three)

I think they are falsely calling it a "free to play" game. I didn't think Disney would need anymore money, but I was wrong. I bet some of you out there are saying "But every online game has things that you can pay for". That is true, but those things usually don't improve on your character, they just make it look "better". Also you don't have to pay to enjoy the full game and everything they give you. If it says it free to play, then by god it must be, but in this case it is only if you want to enjoy it you must give Disney $100.

Who else finds this to be a little fishy?

Some people just don't have opinions. Like MonkeyKinght98.
MonkeyKinght98 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could MonkeyKinght98 possibly have for not rating a single film?
