The folks at Flying Lab Software, the makers of Pirates of the Burning Sea would like to remind us that that today is international talk LIke a Pirate Day... Matey.

Pirates of the Burning Sea is the official video game of International Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th). Yarr, it be true. To commemorate this auspicious day, Flying Lab Software has created special missions and secret booty just for the occasion. Until September 26th2008, players can log in to Pirates of the Burning Sea and party with the grog-swillin’, booty-plundering founders of the day, Cap’n Slappy and Ol’ Chumbucket. These rum-swiggin’ salts will be taking their rightful place in the Burning Sea as they hand out missions and teach everyone a thing or two about getting booty.

Join the crew to party and talk piratical talk!

Quick Pirate Reference Guide:

To prepare you for the day, here is a quick reference guide of pirate terms and sayings.

Pirate Saying ---> Translation:

Arrrr! ---> Interject as much as possible!

Ahoy! ---> Hello!

Booty ---> Treasure

Cap’n ---> Captain

Fair Winds! ---> Good luck!

Godspeed!---> Good bye, good luck!

Me Hearties! ---> Pirate’s Crew

Pillage ---> To rob or plunder

Sail ho! ---> To see a ship!

Salt ---> Veteran sailor

Shiver me timbers! ---> Yikes!

Sink me! ---> Said in surprise

Swab ---> To clean something

Phrases:

Don’t maroon ye matey, join me for Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Avoid mutiny, talk like a pirate!

Don’t be a poop deck, talk like a pirate!

A rose, it be red, a pirate be rank, talk like a pirate, or ye'll be walking the plank.

 

Pick-up Lines:

You be the Cap’n of me heart.

Scurvy is just fancy talk for sexified.

Nice sea legs!

 

Now, put your piratical talk to use, me hearties!

 

Avast ye! Pirates o’ the Burnin’ Sea be free (for a time): This holiday coincides with our Free 14-Day Trial Key, so set sail with Pirates of the Burning Sea; it’s more fun than dancing the hempen jig (That’s slang for being hung)!

Oh boy, I'd love to get a 14-day trial right now!! I'll definitely give a wholeheartedly try on PotBS as soon as I have the free time to enjoy it the fullest!


You walk a mystical path, and are a creature of the spiritual and the supernatural. You are introspective and self-reliant, but nobody will ever question your bravery or commitment to justice.
Take the quiz!
