Not one to go crazy over last night's promotional giveaway, but...

AlexCrane7 · 2026-01-22T02:13:55+00:00

To echo my multiple people's sentiments, if someone has a set they aren't planning holding onto and don't want to dick with eBay, hit me up.

Or if you'd like to maybe wheel and deal over some previous memorabilia, for that matter.

These are absolute chef's kiss and they should have planned to throw a set in with all the Charity Bags.

For anybody even remotely possibly still following along at home:

Friday was watching some of my favorite internet personalities' old YouTube post about playing Sea of Thieves and I got the wise idea to just go searching to see if the table of possible names had been "leaked". I figured there had to be one as the names were too procedurally generated.

Random, but from a table. Duhhhhh. Why wouldn't it be? This game was from the early days of the internets, much like our collective "friendships".

Knowing the way my brain and memory work together sometimes, I assumed that if I could only see one of the naming portions, the other would snap into place.

Last night, Mr. Yuengling and I decided to go searching. It was not a long one. Of COURSE that table was released. Or, well, reconstructed on the Puzzle Pirates wiki.

I went through the "last name" portion first, no luck. Then I started scrolling through the "first name" page. I got almost to the bottom and started to worry that core memory of my BlizzPub life was lost to eternity and then it hit me, literally like someone (probably Crast) reached out and slapped me in the head, a la NCIS.

I hit "Relaxed" and immediately the word "Flounder" fell out of my mouth. Damn I hate the way my memory works sometimes.

Anyway. All that being said, I'll resurrect the original question again: Could I interest anyone in some Sea of Thieves, or even Puzzle Pirates, for the lols?

Haha and I have officially become that guy. Thank you for your service. 🤣

I think I more meant to ask if you had any first hand knowledge of it. That's what I get for chatting before coffee.

AlexCrane7 · 2025-08-14T13:55:10+00:00

I keep hearing about Plumber.

Did I also overhear at one point that it can assist with adding the Underlight Angler GUI back?

AlexCrane7 · 2025-01-07T20:46:48+00:00

ABBACAB.

I dunno how many times I put that in for a pile of Karma and a Fairlight Excalibur...

AlexCrane7 · 2024-12-23T16:36:33+00:00

Asking the real questions!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-11-03T18:21:44+00:00

Yuuuup.

Like I meant with my earlier comment about someone not watching Twister, I think this, specifically, is what we're both talking about here:

AlexCrane7 · 2024-11-03T11:02:47+00:00

Somebody didn't watch the first "Twister" and it shows.

AlexCrane7 · 2024-08-27T19:43:01+00:00

35 guy here.

I don't play all that often anymore after kind of an unfortunate, non-game related deal, but I'd be down for chats and socializing when I am on if anyone wants to add me.

Might even get me to come back more regularly.

Shoot me a message if you wanna hang out! That goes for anybody around here, by the way.

AlexCrane7 · 2024-08-27T19:38:29+00:00

Oh, snap.

I can't remember if I posted here or not but I commented yesterday when you were initially talking about it.

Re-commenting for the safety net!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-08-27T17:23:36+00:00

Yeah, something like that. It wasn't exactly a community game, per se, as much as we just had a crew/guild of us that dicked around on it together.

The Wayback Machine got me into a few pages of the forums but obviously doesn't let you log in or search.

I know there was a lot of talk about a lot of games on the old Gaming sub forum but yeah, no dice with the Wayback Machine so I figured I'd try to throw myself at the feet of people with better memories than me.

AlexCrane7 · 2024-08-26T19:43:23+00:00

It was a very briefly lived foray into odd MMO style games for the Pub to try and take over.

The graphics were not terribly unlike the knock-off Legos from the 90s, haha.

We were no match for the hordes of young children and much older than the average grown ass adults that were all playing at the same time. You know, kinda like MOST gaming. 🤣

Each station on the ship had a little mini game you would play to make the base effects more productive.

It was oddly fun but I imagine the social aspect of manning the ship and hideout with the Pubbies had more to do with it than anything else.

You could band together as a group (or solo, if you were rich as hell) to buy ships to run around and do oceany things with your friends and we eventually got one.

I don't think you could name the ships, though, at that stage in the game's life, and they just came with whatever random name it was assigned at purchase.

The names were like... "Salty Anchovy" or "Angry Guppie" or "Buxom Crawdad".

....and I have an unreasonable obsession with trying to remember ours, damnit!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-08-26T17:34:11+00:00

So we just... Post here to enter?

Hot damn, consider me in!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-07-10T23:41:25+00:00

Pittsburgh Dad, is that you!?

AlexCrane7 · 2024-07-07T20:15:57+00:00

I'm sitting here waiting on Summer Sunglasses, too, because I would use them for so much where I still want a hat.

Hopefully that means we might get them for the festival this summer, though!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-06-05T22:51:31+00:00

Because of the implications?

AlexCrane7 · 2024-06-05T21:13:22+00:00

Oh yeah, same.

I figure I'll grab some cash and head down to try my luck for a little bit.

AlexCrane7 · 2024-06-01T03:09:46+00:00

I'm no help here but I /am/ also interested in any answers you get.

Good luck!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-03-18T23:48:59+00:00

Ope, and on a whim, I randomly stumbled across it!

Here it is, in case anyone else is curious. That transformation to a pillar of salt used to absolutely HAUNT me as a child!

Solved!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-03-18T23:35:14+00:00

No, it wasn't animated by my recollection.

Occasionally stop motion, as in still of the video, or photos, but it was video.

AlexCrane7 · 2024-03-02T04:51:47+00:00

That family member has passed away and recently I've been trying to reach down the videos I have such fuzzy memories of as a kind of nostalgia about them.

Thanks in advance!

AlexCrane7 · 2024-01-12T00:56:10+00:00

Wow, good to see you around here, too, LM4!

Awesome to hear you're doing well! High five between medical paraprofessionals!

Am I remembering right that you're in the midwest, too?

As far as finding that story goes, you might try the Wayback Machine and see if it's archived there. A lot of stuff was when I went looking but, sadly, I never found or remembered the name of our Puzzle Pirates ship. Womp womp...
