Pirate Talk Radio

We got the Official Sea of Thieves podcast release and in it, we didn't get much concrete announcements but A LOT of teasers. Halo shipset? Season 5 will it be a disappointment? and HUGE Sea of Thieves Merch news. Also I discuss the most recent Sea of Thieves patch notes and RAGE about one of the items which Rare felt needed changed even though they have so many bugs and exploits which are higher...

Sea of Thieves is full of secrets and Easter Eggs. In this episode I take a look at a new Easter Egg by using Wanda's Spy glass. I will show you how to get the $600 Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S Duke Ship Cosmetics on PC and discuss the future of Xbox support for Sea of Thieves. Also we return to Sea of Thieves Tips and tricks with Davrim as I discuss Kegs in the crows nest and sail management on...

I continue the discussion about player experience through Rare's messaging. I also reveal an experiment I did with the current event and how horrible my experience was but how BROKEN Alliance Servers are. I argue Rare is turning Sea of Thieve's into an adventure game with ships, instead of a pirate game and I explain how their updates, content and events show this. I provide suggestions on how Sea...

Let's discuss player experience. I often forget about new players as I haven't been one for some time. In this episode I look at both new and veteran player experience and how Rare is effecting it through a wheel that keeps turning regardless of how many people come in or jump ship. How can we break the wheel and build a great player experience for new and existing players for the next 5+ years? C...

I talk about my personal play experience of Season 4 and where I feel the strengths and weaknesses of this Season are. I go through the news, including Twitch Drops and new Spooky Emporium items to get your ready for Halloween! I then look at what the community has been saying about Season 4. Surprisingly I disagree with the fire and torch approach I'm seeing on Social Media, and though it has a b...

Captain Falcore, a content pillar of the Sea of Thieves Community released a video on Sept 14th introducing a new concept "Expeditions" which would be a way for Rare to expand the map while still supporting old hardware like the XBOX one. I look at the concepts of this video and expand on how this system could also bring in the Arena! Captain Falcore's YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/CaptainFalcore CHA...

In this episode I recap my amazing weekend of meeting people and playing games at Gen Con. We then dive into Season 4. I look at the trailer for Season 4 and give my thoughts on what is there, I review my thoughts and highlights of THE BEST season pass they have put out. Then we jump to the behind the scenes video Rare released and discuss Season 4 and more so the new area "The Sunken Kingdom" in...

In this episode I continue to discuss changes to the Emissary system which would give dedicated risk takers better rewards for continuing to raise their flag past Grade 5 and becoming prestigious with the trading companies. How would you feel if you did a Gold Hoarder Vault, turned your loot into the Reapers and then have a bounty on your head for betraying the Gold Hoarder? I discuss a bounty sys...

In this episode I discuss one of the best systems Sea of Thieves has, the Emissary system. Since it was launched over a year ago, it hasn't had the best impact; however with some changes it could take the next step in being an amazing system of risk vs reward and really encourage interesting and fun player interactions.

Boarderlands comes to Sea of Thieves in the short limited time event until Sept. 7th. Yet again we see the creative spark of Rare non existent as they just reuse and recycle tasks from the past with no connection to Mayhem or Boarderlands. I go through each challenge and discuss which challenges are good for this event, which ones need to go, which ones need tweaked AND provide some creative new c...

In this episode I look at the highlights of what I feel is the best Quality of Life update Sea of Thieves has ever done. I go through all the top fixes and changes, look at the new BEAUTIFUL cosmetics and dive into what I think is coming next for QoL updates in the future.

Though we don't have access to actual XBox stats on the player base, we do have insight into how many players have played Sea of Thieves. I dive into the XBox achievement data and take the numbers reported by Sea of Thieves's website and do the math to find out how many actual players there have been in Sea of Thieves vs how many accounts have just logged in 1 time. We also look at the Pirate's Li...

In this episode I look at the current state of dry content on the seas along with the broken promises Rare made us before Season 1. Then I go to the community and look at an outstanding post on Reddit which discusses the "tools not rules" concept which many content creators forget when they are streaming the game. I close out the show with some hilarious tweets from members of PhuzzyBonds communit...

In honor of the Olympics, Sea of Thieves has launched the Plunder Games. I discuss my opinion and the larger community's feedback on this event and why Rare has yet again let players down. Now the a Pirate's Life has been put in our wake, what is next in the Lore of Sea of Thieves, who is the next big bad guy coming. There are A LOT of clues which tell us that the next threat in our story may be c...

In this episode I look at the most recent patch notes and go over the highlights. I think take a walk down memory lane and look at Legacy content which has been in the game for a long time and my ideas to bring it up to the "Pirate's Life" standard. The most recent update has set a new standard for where rewards and content in Sea of Thieves is, and there is A LOT in this game which doesn't meet t...

I go through each of the new Tall Tales and discuss my thoughts on what happened and how the story flowed and how it plays with the rest of the SoT story. Though the over all design of these were beautifully on an artistic from there was ALOT to be desired in connection.   CHARITY DONATIONS: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=450876 Deathwish C...

Pirates of the Caribbean is here! In this episode I want to look at the final e3 showcase video and then dive into what I felt was Rare's greatest success in this update. Though I won't be diving into specifics on each of the tall tales out of respect for those who have not had the time to complete them yet and want to avoid spoilers, I will be discussing some bits and pieces of them to make my po...

Though I have my reservations of the recently announced SoT and Disney Partnership, there are a lot of positive and amazing things we saw in the E3 and Game play trailers. In this episode I go through the history of SoT and it's honoring of PotC then we dive into what we saw at E3. I leave you with my caution that we should have based on Disney's partnership with other game developers and how Rare...

In this episode I dive into my thoughts on the Official Sea of Thieves Podcast episode 2. We look at the most polarizing question of SoT, PvP or PvE? Rare had some interesting takes on this topic and the 2 loud factions of players who divide the community.  Alliance Servers are also in the cross hairs of Rare and they are closely monitoring their effects on the game and community. All this and mor...

In this episode I discuss what has kept me away from the seas for the past few weeks as I completed some volenteer\community work in my home town. I dive into some of the biggest bugs and exploits in Sea of Thieves and ask the question, Why does Rare not care? I also look at the most recent Time Locked "Reapers vs the World" event and question how this was suppose to add excitement to player inter...

Season 2 has not started off great for Sea of Thieves. Though the launch of Fort of Fortune has pushed interesting interactions, the hype wasn't enough to even match the launch of Season 1. With no change to the length of the season, Season 2 is looking to be even less of a splash than Season 1 was which says a lot considering Rare has had leaky holes in their player base since July of 2020.  In t...

In this episode I discuss the recent launch of the Official Sea of Thieves Podcast. Season 1 is only a few days from being over and the new Season 2 adventure will begin.

Then I shift gears and we have a history lesson to discuss Pirates in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Where did Pirates exist?
