    Knowledge about ships

    I too am interested in learning about 17th century ships, I know a few basic things but that's about it. This afternoon I picked up a Dutch edition of "The Complete Encyclopedia of Sailing Ships: 2000 BC - 2006 AD" by John Batchelor & Christopher Chant. Don't know if it's available where you...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    I thought James Purefoy was a great choice to play Blackbeard, definitely an underrated actor. I find that many BBC productions around this period have a very cheap looking quality to them, but despite it's look it's still one of my favorite pirate movies. Then again I can't really name any...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    It took myself a long time to find the BBC Blackbeard film on DVD, after years of looking and even accidentally buying the shitty Hallmark film I finally found it in a BBC boxset called 'Great Warriors' which also contains films about Napoleon and Genghis Khan. I don't know if it's still...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    I'm only 23 so Pirates of the Caribbean was a major part in igniting my love for pirates. In 2006 I saw a movie on television about blackbeard by the BBC, it's called 'Blackbeard: Terror at Sea (or The Real Pirate of the Caribbean)' starring James Purefoy as Blackbeard. I really liked the way...

    Pirate's Life on Steam Greenlight!

    Could be good, looks very similar to Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.

    Galavant - Lords of the Sea (SONG)

    A comedy/musical TV-series from Disney. Think Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights meets Monty Python's Spamalot. The first season ran for the past 4 weeks on ABC in America and it only has 8 episodes so far. Also Rutger Hauer appears as a villain in the final 2 episodes.

    Ravens Cry Delayed 13th time.

    I played both Two Worlds 1 and 2. The second one was a slight improvement over the first one, but what killed the game for me was the awful combat. Made worse by the fact that the game world is filled with endless hordes of enemies everywhere. Not to mention the fact that the largest island in...

    Galavant - Lords of the Sea (SONG)

    A bit late, but I didn't see this posted anywhere else. In episode 4 of Galavant, Galavant and his friends come across a vicious band of pirates. Featuring Hugh Bonneville:

    Michiel de Ruyter

    As a fellow Dutch citizen, like Pieter Boelen, I too have never been impressed with any Dutch film. If it's not the Dutch language (om een of andere reden klink onze taal altijd zo saai en houterig in films), then it's the budget restraints. Honestly I just don't think any Dutch production...

    Playmobil Pirates Movie Coming in 2017!

    Out of business? I don't know where you live, but here in the Netherlands there are shelves of Playmobil in every toy store (often right next to lego). As a kid I used to have several Playmobil pirate ships, they were actually pretty cool. Certainly a lot sturdier than lego. For those...

    "Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet" Greenlight Campaign Launched!

    I vaguely remember playing a free game that was released years ago? Don't remember what it was about but I remember the name.

    Korean Film "Roaring Currents", Samurai and Turtle Ships!

    I don't know much about korean ships either just what I saw in previous movies, but i'm pretty sure the Japanese had a fleet of over 300 ships just only 130 of those were actually war ships. Another reason to watch this movie.

    Korean Film "Roaring Currents", Samurai and Turtle Ships!

    Wow another one to watch. I really wish more Asian movies would see a dvd release over here in the Netherlands. From all the Korean movies I watched I only ever managed to find a couple on dvd with Dutch subtitles. But wasn't it 13 turtle ships instead of 12? Still he managed to defeat the...

    New Trailer for Korean Movie "The Pirates"

    Don't let the comedic tone fool you, I have seen more than one Korean movie that started out really funny and turned incredibly depressing halfway through. Many Korean movies have a strange blend of humor/drama that may be strange/weird or even off-putting to those who are only used to Hollywood...

    Korean "The Pirates" Debuts Summer 2014!

    I like Korean movies and I like pirates, so I will definitely watch this. For those interested in trying out some Korean movies I recommend "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" (Action Packed Wild West like movie taking place during the Japanese invasion), "War of the Arrows" (Takes place during the...
