VLOG: Talking Pirates With 4Ground & Firelock Games
September 19, 2019 by johnlyons
It's the 19th of September and that means it's talk like a Pirate day; since the guys from 4Ground and Firelock Games were in the studio we thought it would be pleasant to talk some Pirate facts.
Check Out More VLOGs
We're not sure if the holiday is in the best regard anymore but it's good to talk about Pirates and where they came from, where did they go from both sides of the Atlantic. We wrangled Mike from Firelock Games and Big Ben from 4Ground to talk in a closed environment about what cool Pirate facts they may know from their sides of the world.
Do you know any cool Pirate knowledge?

Showing as Video is Private…
Or pirate
That they arrrr!
You know that feeling of emptiness when something ends far too quickly…
Pirate Heavy Metal is also a thing. German band, Running Wild, pioneered it, and currently Scottish Pirate Metallers, Alestorm, are making a living out of it.
Did you post that video of Alestorm one day on the weekender! Its been stuck in my head for months now
I love Alestorm, so does my 4 yr old… we had to have the chat about when we sing to Daddy’s music, and a certain Anchor related song has been edited out of the playlist ⚓️
@lordsanes Perhaps, they are a bit modern for my tastes but not bad. One of the guitarists is from Norn Iron!
@nogbadthebad My Dad banned me from playing Anthrax’s version of Friggin’ in the Riggin due to the nature of the lyrics. It’s a pirate song of sorts!
I still have the Sex Pistols single version of that somewhere @robert
@torros do you still have a mohican and nose ring? 🙂
@robert
I was never a punk. I think I got the single in a job lot when I swapped loads of them for a Horslips album
That is a band I haven’t listened to in ages!
“A gift for private enterprise,” Well we had Grace O’Malley who predated the golden age of piracy and she was pretty cool
Lots of famous Barbary pirates as well
As long as you have 4ground and Firelock in the same room…Docks, buildings, fortifications that would work in the Caribbean would make me spend more money
Hint. Hint. Hint!
I wanted to hear so much more.
pirates are misunderstood and the modern ones are thugs with boats.
Listen to this:

It’ll take about 30 minutes. You can even still paint minis while it’s on. It’ll change the way you think about pirates for ever.
Aye, me hearties enjoyed that bit o’ yarn.
Who can out beard the beardies discussing guys named for their beards.
I’m amazed that a video with Mike & Ben is under 7 mins long XD
Really cool wee video. Would like to see more of these.
You know what would of made this video better, if you
d had Mike and Big Ben dressed as Pirates playing Blood and Plunder. Any chance you guys at OTT could arrange for it to happen.
