The last time I was this excited about an upcoming online game, it wasn't really about anything. This time, it's about pirates, and since I basically look like one, well, you can imagine how I feel. Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is the full title of the game, it'll be available for Windows, Mac and Linux, and it'll maybe ship this year even. (But maybe not.) In addition to a sophisticated economic system (you know, like in Pimps at Sea), you keep your ships going and your swords clashing by playing various puzzle games inspired by Tetris, Bejeweled, Alchemy and the like. I am rapidly becoming a world-class bilge pumper, thanks to my mad simple-pattern-recognition skills. w00t - uh, I mean, arrrr or something! Arrrr!
