Besides the music being awesome and the interesting instruments, just listening to Bear be enthusiastic about music is so endearing, he's clearly the biggest music nerd (as is his crew). Thanks for posting this. I now know that the really unique sound that I've been loving in the music is an instrument called a Hurdy Gurdy.

3Romeo posted:Whelp, all the AC chat made me just buy Black Flag even though I couldn't get through more than ten hours of AC3 (which was a shame, because I really liked the Ezio trilogy). Besides all the ship battles, I'm looking forward to see how the characters like Anne Bonny and Vane differ from their counterparts in the show. I just bought it, myself. I'm having a great time with it, and I really, REALLY didn't like AC3.

Acquilae posted:I got done watching the season over the last few days and I was wondering the same since the music is great. The show is fantastic(because pirates > ninjas and all) and it has one of the best opening themes I've ever seen. Agreed. I've been trying to find a copy of the models to 3D print for that very reason, but so far I haven't had any luck.

He might be an rear end in a top hat but he's right - 3D printing requires 3D models, which is what I'm looking for. A physical model wouldn't help me anymore than a unicorn fart

Yeah. Gates' murder really hurt. Future spoilers, based on Treasure Island poo poo: Billy obviously isn't dead, so I just shrugged that one off, but Gates was a really loving great guy. His sitdown with Flint and Vane and Calico Jack totally endeared me to his character.

So many swerves in this final eppisode, so many shockers and so many questions. drat, this was a great show. When will it come back? Flynt was a maniac with a feeling of grandeur that was way above the reality of the situation he was in. He also didn't care that much for the crew, he sacrificed them multiple times just to have his way and he wanted to steal the majority of the gold while giving the crew some crumbs (they'll waste it all on whores is literally his argument). And yeah, the other ship would flee if the Walrus didn't engage and a Man O War would never reach it. Flynt was a dumbie.

There's no sane pirate on that ship who should believe that a dude like Billy just loving lost his grip and fell. It looked like two bulldogs wrestling when he crossed his arms. Dude could probably pop my head off my neck like a zit.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone buys that he's dead either - even if it was a loving hurricane sweeping through the Caribbean he could swim to the shore with one arm and not even get tired.

Well, dead is possible. Even Billy's arms wouldn't save him from Flint shanking him a bunch of times. But "Oops Billy fell off the boat, rip"? Hell naw.

Is Vane significantly shorter than the rest of the cast? I thought he looked like a roided Milhouse in some of his scenes. edit: Well, the internet tells me his six feet tall, so I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Yeah he lives in LA and pretty much stuck to body resistance type exercise/half marathon each day to get the look for his character.  So it's pretty much more in line with a triathlon type build than the pure bulk bodybuilder.

I've been binging trough season 1 & 2 of Shameless for the last week and holy poo poo. In a show where everyone else is either crazy or an rear end in a top hat he's somehow the nicest guy ever. I keep waiting for him to turn out evil but it has yet to happen.

Something I didn't realize until looking him up after watching Black Sails, Blackbeard was actually 38 when he was killed. Always imagined him as being older than that. Amusing that Malkovich has like 25 years on that if this takes place in 1715.

I've been a fan of pirates since I was a child and absolutely loved that Hollywood and the public in general is getting back into them...but that may be the least interesting or exciting pirate themed anything I have ever seen. And I saw the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Hell, I saw Cutthroat Island.
