New Stuff for Pirates (Bonus Content and Map)!

Hey, looks loke Firaxis released a Theme Pack with new sails, new music and new characters.
You can get it from the Firaxis Site here:
<a href="http://www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=2" target="_blank">http://www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=2</a>

And for all those without the official Pirates! Map. You can get it from the German Pirates Site!
Here's the direct link for it:

EDIT: The Theme Pack has nothing new! It's the "exclusive" content from the Bonus Edition.
Hmm, I'm heavy dissapointed by Atari and Firaxis at the moment.
The whole Special Edition was just a rip off (bought it mainly because of the map and the Bonus Stuff). And now I could have had both for Free (well the Bonus Stuff was a disapointment anyway). And best thing is there is no EU Patch for Pirates! at the horizon.
 
Yeah, that's a bit of a bummer. I feel like the Bonus stuff was pretty... minimal at best, insulting at worst. I'm still happy with the game, but I'm very much longing for something SO much deeper.

Oh well... maybe this one will sell well enough to warrant another, though I've not seen any sales numbers.

I'm not gay, I just want to know what it means to call something "gay", not refering to the gay community, I assume.
 
When a person says something is "gay" they are usually saying it is stupid,dumb,ignorant,etc etc..

Though I find the term to be quite ridiculous myself considering it is not even being used in proper context when it is used in such a way.But to each his own I guess.

Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French gai
1 a : happily excited : MERRY b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits
2 a : BRIGHT, LIVELY <gay sunny meadows> b : brilliant in color
3 : given to social pleasures; also : LICENTIOUS
4 a : HOMOSEXUAL b : of, relating to, or used by homosexuals <the gay rights movement> <a gay bar>

Guess I hear enough of it while playing on my CODUO server from the loud mouth creeps I have to ban regulary that it has become a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
 
Yeah, I figure it to be something like that. Dumb. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
Actually, i first heard the term when i used to play QW teamfortress in Australia. Everything there was gay, along with everyone in it its just a term thats stuck with me.

But it does mean bad....generally

Didn't mean te refer ye were gay mate,it was meant fer a joke fer Keith,it's an expression used commonly in Canada as well <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
And I thought that gay meant "lively" and "exuberant" when it did not mean homosexual... Just shows how dictionaries give you the wrong impression...

Luckily, I cannot remember any instance in Vancouver that I had heard the term being used, so I must not have made a fool of myself...
 
I don't think that many Homosexualls are offended by the word Gay or if someone uses it to describe something no too good.

I know quite a few (Cologne is a very open minded City and a lot Homosexuals live there (on of the largest Gay Comunities in Europe) and though I had prejudices against the some years ago (not anymore) I find them to be very friendly, honestly and happy people. Most of them don't care what the Heterosexuals think about them and they just live their life.
I personally believe there is a lot we could learn from them.

And Ontopic again:

Well in Germany the Limited edition did cost 60€ while the normal was 40€ expensive.
OK there was this `T-Shirt` (which I can't wear because I'm too fat at the moment (I'm on diet now)) and the DVD (with just the extras on it).
 
The standard game in the UK was around £30 on release.

The LE version of the game was around £50 on release.

Don't sound legal to me, if people have paid extra for exclusive content, that's not exclusive anymore... not that anyone gives a rats arse lol.
 
Ye haven't hear it Wolfwood,ye be live'n a stone's throw away from whar I live mate <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
why are all "free `t-shirts`" to small, i just dont get it, im not overly fat or anything but ive always found they are all small size
 
Less material = cheaper, I would assume.

And if I may just "hear, hear" CWorth... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
