  • Twinks on the high seas (Sid Meier's Pirates!) Part 5

    Kicked down to Rogue. SAD.

    Oh Conrads what can I do? I'm so cut up by swords.

    That's right. It's Sid Meier's Pirates! The 2004 version that was absolutely trying to cash in on Pirates of the Caribbean.

    For once we're playing a game I've played extensively and beaten several times, so hopefully there won't be too many hiccups.

    This is part 5. If you want to see part one, check out the playlist goddamn it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGzH8lxtXkIi9_ck-jYg7ihJFQIWJ-3fz

    Pirates! Live the life! (Sid Meier's Pirates! 2004) is a ...well, I guess a pirate sim game? It's set during the golden age of piracy in the western hemisphere, and the player takes the role of some hot twink that's lost all his money and family.

    Don't worry though! Captain Dingus Khan and his band of merry ass pirates will leverage the incredible power of violence to defeat their enemies, namely the spanish.
