Charles Vane…aye, a Scourge of the Caribbean, mateys. ALL pirate…ALL the time. No governor’s pardon, no king’s mercy, no softening of the edges. Vane was carved from the roughest timber the sea could offer, and he never pretended otherwise. We don’t know where Vane was born, but wherever he first drew breath, the sea claimed…

Ahoy, mateys! You know that while we’re plunderin’ the scourges of the seven seas, we couldn’t leave out our pirate brethern, Blackbeard! It’s generally accepted, (amongst those who are countin’), that Blackbeard never outright murdered anyone, it’s also generally accepted that in the last few months of his life, he made some shocking decisions that…

Ahoy, mateys! This plunder was made awhile back, but it goes rather nicely with the Scourge of the Seven Seas series that we be plunderin’ lately…so, enjoy! I was reading a book not too long ago, Pirates in the North Atlantic: Robbery Murder and Mayhem off the Canadian East Coast, by Dan Conlin, and I…

The Caribbean had scarcely recovered from the shock of Black Bart’s Ears‑and‑Execution Affair when a darker tide rolled in from the Atlantic. Whispers carried his name long before his sails appeared — a thin, jagged syllable spoken with the same dread reserved for storms and devils. Ned Low, born in Westminster in 1690 and hardened…

Ahoy again, mateys. If ye thought Black Bart’s velvet‑and‑diamonds swagger was the worst of him, let me show ye the shadow behind the shine. In October of 1720, Roberts proved he wasn’t just a scourge — he was a cold, calculating devil who believed cruelty was a tool, not a temper. He took a Dutch…

Ahoy, mateys! Today, we’re takin’ a plunder at the truly vile sea‑devils — the ones who didn’t just fly the black flag, but etched their names into it with other men’s bones. These weren’t your everyday rogues who preferred a clean prize and a quiet surrender. Nay… these were the brutes who laughed as the…

Ahoy, mateys! Bootstrap Ginny is back, and I’m still sailin’ the Caribbean Seas in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced video game. And just so ye know, I’m enjoyin’ every stinkin’ second of it! The new content is very clever and necessary; the original game left me a little empty when the end credits started…

Forged in the fire‑kissed kitchens of Nassau and perfected aboard the Lantern’s Wraith Ahoy, mateys! Bootstrap Ginny here, I’m still sailin’ the Caribbean Seas, bein’ a pirate, and lovin’ freedom from kings and queens! So, while I’m out bein’ a (virtual) scurvy knave, I’m bringin’ ye a recipe straight from the sun‑blasted shores of the…

Ahoy, mateys! As promised, I’m about to share with ye the amazing and outrageous pirate hideout in AC: Black Flag Resynced! There’s somethin’ in our DNA that gets excited when the word “hideout” is whispered…well, if’n yer a pirate, that is. If yer not a pirate, I can’t help ye with this one. Anyway, the…

Ahoy, mateys! Bootstrap Ginny here, taking the morning to share with ye my adventures of the last day or so down in the Caribbean courtesy of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced video game! HUZZAH! First, as expected, the game is GORGEOUS! I mean, beautiful like the sea at sunset after a perfect plunder. See…
