Oh, har de har, it's Talk Like A Pirate Day, the most hilarious day of the year. If you've never heard of it, it's a day where we all get to be frightfully amusing by saying the things a pirate would say! In honor of this national holiday, I have decided to get into the spirit of things by talking ... like a pirate!
Ahem ...
"It's not theft because the game is still there when you download it! Using that twist of logic, it's now morally acceptable for me to download the Humble Indie Bundle without paying for it! No, stop being ignorant, I wouldn't pirate games if it didn't have all that oppressive DRM in it! That's obviously why I download things like World of Goo and Serious Sam: Double D ... they've all got SecuROM!
"Hey, what's that? A developer's made a game that doesn't look exactly the way I want it to? Time to boycott it, and by 'boycott' I mean I'm going to download it illegally because I'm angry enough to take a stand, but too spineless to deprive myself of the experience. Not that it matters, I'm just looking for an excuse to justify my shitty behavior rather than just admit I want to play games without paying for them like a responsible adult person! Wheeeeeeee!"
What are your best pirate impersonations?
I'll admit, when EA Sports' Andrew Wilson took to the stage during Microsoft's Xbox One reveal, I tuned out. If memory serves, I used the opportunity to take a much needed trip to the bathroom because I was certain there would be nothing there to hold my interest.
I was wrong. Hopefully, it's not too late for us.
I have a confession to make: I'm terrible. Here in the Dtoid offices I have two jobs. One of those is driving wheelbarrows full of money down the aisles. The other is TF2sday posts. Sadly(!) we have waaaaaaay too many wheelba...

I'd like to pay Richard Hofmeier to talk to me about videogames. During last week's Sup Holmes (now on iTunes), he told me about so many great things, like the free online "game" Geoguessr, surrealist interactive text auteur...
Here's today's formerly-live Destructoid Show, on which I wear a bad shirt again.
