No caption. (On a pirate ship various flags fly, including flags with a skull and crossbones and other banners showing logos from various social media sites. On the boat deck below, a pirate is looking at his cell phone).

"You wake up after 100 years and the first thing you do is check your phone?"

'I've got one week to master this program. The boss is threatening to hire an eight year old.'

"I've diligently spent the last eight hours saving an entire colony of elves from a pack of vicious dragons and your only concern is that it is 2 am?"

'I got caught in a blogstorm.'

'I know I can't take it with me, but what about computer simulations?'

"I'm recommending more video games. I'm worried about his hand eye coordination."

' I see Brad's playing his new video game again.'

'That seating section is for video gamers only.'

Unseen enemies are everywhere. I can't sleep. I'm not eating. You're not making sense. Who am I kidding? You're right. The truth? Fine, I admit it. I can't get past level 5!!! I don't do video game counseling. If my mom loved me more, I'd be able to find more ammo.

"Yes! I defeated the invading forces! I am master and commander... I am a warlord!"

'I am playing outside, Mom -- look at the graphics.'

'Please pardon the inconvenience while this web page is under construction.'

New Year's Resolution.

'Dude, I think your memory card is full.'

'Here's a twist. Before you go on your quest, an insurance salesman tries to sell you life insurance. If you buy a lot you can date prettier girls.'

"What's your New Year's Resolution?"

The tenth circle of hell. . .Buffering hell!

"He's in training for the 'E' Olympics."
