    Pirates of the Caribbean - Underwater boat logical or not?

    Vassal, you may have wrote it as a joke, but the `before-shot` showed they were underwater. CapitainDams-- that's the explication I saw coming, but how did the air got trapped? I mean, can I experiment it? like take a transparent large bowl and a somewhat `boat-shaped` dish I have here at home...

    Pirates of the Caribbean - Underwater boat logical or not?

    Anyone who has seen the movie may remember scene where Will and Jack carry a boat underwater. I never got that, but in the shot (as they're carrying it upside down) the water don't go all the way up to inner part of the boat, and they are able to breathe freely. Can anyone make out the logic...

    Original Priates, For FREE!

There is freeware, shareware, giftware etc, but not abandonware. It's only a `made-up` term by software pirates (not...

    why this game sucks as is, and needs mods like I need oxygen

    Yes. It's not desgined to be something extraordinary, but it makes an interesting experience for a while. Not a long while, but a while. I agree it isn't worth all that money (unless you're one of those original Pirates! fan, probably).

    What to do with a featureless treasure map?

    `Land-Searching` is the most tedious part of the game. I spent about an hour each day for 3 days looking for the character's Uncle. I seemed to be going in circles all that time and I couldn't find any leads, so I gave that up eventually. Although I did came up with a method that helps: If you...

    Historical & Scholarly & Fun Nautical WebLinks

    Yeah, everything there is `easy-read`. They also have a small message board which mainly deals with pirates information (it's not phpBB so it stinks), but their moderator, Foxe, is an actual maritime historian. He said "I really don't have a real life and I'm convinced the 21st century is just a...

    Master And Commander: worth watching?

    Is the movie, "Master And Commander: The Far Side of the World" any good? I'm not sure if it involves pirates, but I rather not knowing. I always liked Russell Crowe's work, esp. in "Gladiator" and "Beautiful Mind". Anyway, it seems to be an 17th/18th century marine story, so I already like the...

    The Best Pirate Game Of All

    Problem is you can't sack every town, sometimes you don't have enough crew. So that's where sneaking becomes mandatory if you wanna `check-out` the town. But I agree, it gets stale after the first try. Dancing and sneaking... zzZZzzZZzzZZzz

    Pirates of the Burning Sea Q&A

    Speaking generally about MMORPG's, I couldn't have said it better than Sinbad. All the same, it's a game, and it should be fun to play. I'm definitely aiming to buy it. Although, I would be hypnotized if it featured a serious version/server-- like an <i>intense</i> concept for `role-players`...

    The Best Pirate Game Of All

    Well put, Cap'n Toast. And dancing is the least alluring part of Sid's Pirates for me too, woopy. In the current method I play, I simply dismiss every invitation-- It sucks so bad!

    Cheap cost

    Oh, I never thought the game would lose its value so fast! It's about 1 year and half since it came out, more or less. I guess games that don't enable multiplayer lose their value faster than games that does. Har! Anyway, thanks for the info and the advise!

    18" Talking Jack Sparrow action figure ha!

    Arr! Thanks for the welcome, Catalina, and the ye olde virtual ale! When I first browsed this forum, I was afraid it advocates online piracy (like the last three forums I looked at). But finally, an authentic pirates forum powered by phpBB! This is awesome.

    Cheap cost

    After realizing this game isn't a `follow-up` for the movie, I decided to buy it (not that I consider the movie bad, but `follow-up` games usually are). Anyway, I checked the price via an online store and the tag reads 12$? So now I'm terribly bewildered, any particular reason why it's so cheap?

    improving Pirates! what would i change/add

    Well, there are tons of elements that could've been included, but the companies obviously went for a simple concept, and possibly followed the original game's concept without steering too much into different directions. Although that's only a guess, I didn't play the original. This could...

    18" Talking Jack Sparrow action figure ha!

    If I ever buy an action figure, that would be it. That, and Guybrush.

    Highly recommended book and interesting website

    "`Yo-ho`-ho `Puzzle-Pirates`" you also came accross is a cute 2D online game with a trial version to play. It's pretty challenging -- One day I find myself addict to the `Tetris-like` `sword-fighting` feature they have.
