    It took me 8 minutes to realize this wasn't about the other piracy. Wow, I'm tired.
  • @Xielent
    Not what I thought the video was going to be about.
  • @cagefury3789
    I totally misunderstood the intro, I thought he said he was going to talk about the "trampling of the rights and property of others NOT the one with the boats". I was completely confused for about half that video.
  • @jacktracy7839
    10 minuets into it still waiting for him to talk about piracy
  • @TheCheeseWeel
    i think a video about illigal piracy would have been a bit more interesting than this
  • @--derp--286
    I thought both kinds of piracy were illegal
  • @zakizdaman
    I came into this video thinking it would be about illegal downloading, and stayed for a video about pirate games
  • Sid Meier's Pirates still remains unparalelled for me, as it is exactly what i want in a Pirates game.
  • @Kurochana
    "Turn off your computer and go to sleep!" Hahaaaa, you got me there.
  • @AlexKulibin
    "Quest for Booty" has got to be the most ambivalent name ever.
  • @BigBoo64
    Stuart is literally the only man to not sound cringy with a stereotypical pirate voice.
  • @HanMasho
    This was pretty interesting. Love the documentary-style videos, Stu!  
  • @FrogSpl4sh
    Your videos are the most compact entertainment in a long time here on youtube! In times where everybody puts zero effort in doing boring long ass "let's play"s it's nice to have someone who actually does research, captures gameplay and edits all together to a short infotainmental video! Thanks a lot!

    I loved Pirates of the Caribbean Online when I was younger. I'm glad fans are recreating the game under the name, The Legends of Pirates Online. Disney is fantastic for not taking down these recreations of their closed MMOs.
  • @zackfair9088
