    45-minute interview with: Wait, WHO now?!?

    I do still have my game disc, but my computer kind of lost its internal DVD drive with a recent upgrade/rebuild. ;)

    45-minute interview with: Wait, WHO now?!?

    All good, i mean it does sort of hide in plain sight. ;) Now if only I can get a hold of an external optical drive so i actually can install things once more. xD

    45-minute interview with: Wait, WHO now?!?

    Cool interview, you presented yourself well! Hard to believe how young we once were, and Hard to believe it's actually been "15 years" since i first introduced CannonFX into the mod, and 8 year since the last iteration of it. :shock:pirate41:

    Sea of Thieves

    Rare will never introduce PvE modes as it would undermine the core concept of the game, and I applaud them for it. That said, as someone who's sticking with it, I still maintain its the best Pirate game I have played in my entire life, and its only getting better. I'm particularly thrilled with...

    Sea of Thieves

    Barebones? I suppose that is a matter of opinion and what you realistically expect from a multiplayer game. Just like SoT one could argue that Overwatch is a barebones game as well, and yet it's currently one of the most popular games in the world.

    Sea of Thieves

    4 Months and counting and I'm still playing this game and have achieved Pirate Legend!(max levels in the 3 core factions) I really love that this is a game that lets me play whenever I want, without feeling that I have fallen behind everyone else and have to grind my ass off to gain stats and...

    Sea of Thieves

    Personally I am of the opinion that this is the best pirate game I have ever played, nay, the best "sailing" game I have ever played. Oh sure there are other games there with far superior and more realistic sailing physics, but nothing that has ever quite given me the experience of being a...

    Ubisoft Announces Skull and Bones, a new Pirate Game

    Well to be fair, more realistic sailing games are rather "niche" and I imagine something like this would have a lot more "mass appeal", which is what a big company like Ubisoft is all about. I do believe they mentioned that wind and positioning play a much more important role than it did in...

    They are where you plug things in to the computer like: Audio, Video, USB, Mouse, Keyboard, Network etc.

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    The weather effects are also something to die for. :) Seeing water wash over and run off the deck in the storm, or the rain soaking the wood! And yes the shanties be awesome! Edit: Ooooooh my 1000th post!!!

    Need Help Pc Upgrade

    We are of like mind my friend! I absolutely love ASUS motherboards and their bios, so simple and clean and very feature rich. I'm in particular fond of their Sabertooth series and have been rocking two generations of those boards, and I especially love the Thermal Armor they come with, which...

    Need Help Pc Upgrade

    Personally I'd stay away from Gigabyte's motherboards for gaming. I recently built my mother a new high performance rig using a Gigabyte board and the found the Gigabyte BIOS to be just horrible! Caused me a lot of grief configuring that system. Also, Xeon CPU's are intended more for servers...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Just snatched this game up last week at a hefty 75% discount! And I'm loving it more than I thought I would! Sure, its no sail simulator as people have pointed out, and does have some silly things like rams(I have not purchased a single ram upgrade, I refuse!!!), but what it lacks for in...

    A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

    Soooo.... she left port today.... and I managed to set up shot with my camera just a little over 200 meters away. Btw, she carries 6 pounders, and I both heard and felt that being directly downrange of the guns. Still haven't processed the video yet but I grabbed a still from it.

    A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

    Ouch! lol I can only imagine how gun crews manning 32 pounders must have felt lol. Ive actually booked a ticket to set foot onboard for an hour tomorrow afternoon before she leaves port, should be interesting!

    A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

    Well fortunately my ears are perfectly fine, my camcorder supports up to 54x Zoom and the ship moored further into the harbour while I stayed on the pier lol. Hence the delay between shot and sound lol.

    A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

    It was indeed. I managed to get out to the furthest end on the ports eastern pier, and got very close as she passed. :) https://www.google.se/maps/place/58%C2%B030'53.5%22N+13%C2%B010'14.7%22E/@58.514855,13.170755,303m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0
