[Make this mine] This Redubble design is the work of Handclones who has made a few other contributions to the site. I think this friendly kraken, just relaxing in the tub, taking the pirate ship out for a spin, is my favourite though.
E3 trailer: Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves is a co-operative open-world MMO from Rare. It’s easy to see why Microsoft are showing off this gameplay footage – it seems to be great fun and important to work with your crew. Details are a little sketchy but many sources are suggesting the game will be available for PC and Xbox […]
Short film: Goutte d’Or
Slightly NSFW dur to naked puppets. This is an incredibly well animated stop-motion by Christophe Peladan. It’s a strange love story that features a hanging pirate on a flying boat, a naked witch and a guardian octopus. The project was shot at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark over a period of 6 years.
7th Sea: Second Edition Kickstarts already
It was just a few months ago, in Novemeber, when we reported on John Wick buying 7th Sea back from AEG. He’s got the Kickstarter up already and it’s a smash hit. At the time of writing there’s 33 days left on the clock, $115,00 in the bank against a target of only $30,000. You […]
How come? Non-geeks more likely to fancy life as a fantasy pirate
How do you imagine life as a fantasy pirate? Would there be sword fights on the decks of fast ships? Drinking, feasts and raiding treasure islands in search for hidden gold? Or would life be a bore with weeks at sea with nothing to do except scrub the deck and fight off illness? This summer […]

Shared world adventure in Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves is a new title from Microsoft and Rare. It’s a multiplayer pirate game set in a shared world. This means you’ll share ships and battles for loot with other players. Destiny comes to mind; except with pirates. There’s scarce other details from either E3 or the press releases since. The game will […]
Short film: The OceanMaker
One of my favourite short films of the year. Here we have a post-apocalyptic world that’s run dry. A single pilot fights bravely against sky pirates who are out to steal the last remaining source of water – the clouds themselves. The film was made by laptops and a 7 week long retreat to a […]
Competition: One Piece – Film Z
One Piece Film: Z is released in the UK next week. You can pre-order it from Amazon today or try and win a DVD copy with Geek Native. Or both, of course. Former Marine Admiral “Z” has stolen the powerful and dangerous Dyna Stones. It is up to the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, […]
Visually stunning, plot struggling: A review of Harlock Space Pirate
There’s no doubt that Space Pirate Captain Harlock is an anime legend. The character, who has had a few incarnations, is famous. The latest adventure with the icon is a stunning full length feature film. This is a reboot of the franchise; suitable for someone coming to the series for the first time as it […]
