I really miss this channel. They had some of the most entertaining content on KZbin. 😢

[@JPCarrico]

"Cultural appropriate prosthesis " hahah i lost it there! Amazing as always guys! This game is truly a pearl :D

[@joshlegacy1101]

9:41 If you added another cannon shot, you would have recreated the Power Rangers jingle.

[@tigergaj]

sir, you have earned yourself an internet

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I can't believe I didn't do this. I used to play that on my home phone all the time in the 90s.

[@viettrungtran4500]

"I gonna pirate the living shit out of you guys. All the bullshit i say before. Just to trick one of you into being an easy prey." Every goddam board games i ever play.

[@neverboardofgaming]

All this game needs is a Liar's Dice mechanic where you get sent to Davy Jones' Locker, then must gamble your way out 😂 Best episode yet 👏

[@eamonism4676]

It's funny cause the Dutch were one of the most powerful navies of the time.

[@SniperwolfHD]

You missed the "one of the", didn't you?

[@thesponsduke]

As a Dutch person, I can vouch that we all love Miffy. ALL HAIL MIFFY

[@WaervynsWorld]

Joep as a Dutch living abroad. who is miffy? :)

[@thesponsduke]

we know it as Nijntje ;) By Dick Bruna

[@WaervynsWorld]

Aaaah, ok that I know :)

[@Wedelvedeeply]

In the original ending, a huge Dutch Man-o-War shows up, captained by Miffy, and destroys George as comeuppance for dismissing the Dutch. In editing, I realized the scene with Hana finally getting her singing crew and destroying us all felt like a better ending, so the Miffy bit got cut. Now it seems like we just have random Dutch mocking without any payoff. Sorry!

[@thesponsduke]

No need to say sorry for your creative process! :) I love that little idea of Dutch revenge, but Hana deserves to shine ^^ Im sure Miffy wont mind hahaha

[@acerumble4991]

Was pleased to see the Smuggler's Cove mug appropriately involved, thanks for another fun show!

[@paskuder3065]

omg guys, literally I had goosebumps all over me at that last scenes :-)

[@andrewwilson895]

Awesome. Great emotional scene from Hana at the end.

[@DanielKling]

Holy shit guys, great videos! I just found you today and I've been binge watching your channel instead of playing games or anything else, hehe. Just jumped on Patreon to support you. Keep up the great work!

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Hey, thanks! That's awesome to hear.

[@rokassan]

The Dutch were a naval superpower during the age of Piracy. They even beat England’s ass. George learned the hard way.😬

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Yeah! The original ending of this episode was going to be a huge Dutch ship captained by Miffie the Bunny blowing us all away as we get our comeuppance for mocking their navy. I wound up cutting it in editing when Hana's "Bully in the Alley" bit felt like a satisfying conclusion on its own.

[@ImperialGit]

Apart from the ragging on the Dutch, this was pretty fun (no worries; we have tough hides from all that dominating at sea for so long ;) The sister joke at the beginning had me roaring XD

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I'd like to note that in the ending as scripted Jack got his comeuppance when a Dutch fleet commanded by Miffy the Bunny showed up and destroyed them all. That part wound up getting cut during editing.

[@jameswagner3600]

You guys always make the best videos! No matter what the game I love every bit that you guys put into it!

[@geekworthy7938]

Most Epic ending to a video, loved it! So fun to watch!

[@steven03048]

The game is reminding me so much of Sid Meiers Pirates! ^^

[@damianfarrer3992]

oh love this channel, its stupidly funny! its great!

[@Capwi]

Dude's drinking a Franzikaner - fuckin good taste in beer.

[@Bannita]

Thank you for 17min of pure fun :) As always amazing job.

[@felix9100]

You people make me happy :)

[@CoryFleury]

Pretty sure the laugh at culturally appropriate prosthesis was genuine. And oh so well deserved. This channel never disappoints!

[@fehlbrandschwele]

Great episode again. Looks and sounds amazing!!! Thank you guys so much, you're one of my absolute KZbin Highlights!

[@jonezy59]

Another amazing video! This one definitely looked your best visually and that opening 2 mins was hilarious. Really enjoy watching each and every time. Well done and thank you :)

[@KrayyNZ]

Brilliant video guys. Who woulda thunk that zombies make such great pirates and traders...mmmm, zombie pirates

[@BeyondSolitaire]

I'm glad to see Hana living the dream!

[@The3rdGraySky]

that made me want to play the game.

[@wayner396]

you guys are the absolute best. nobody has the funny wit and humor and amazing special effects that you do. you've got a life long subscriber. haha love the hat and bandana George. looks good

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I think George also looked good in the fedora from our Tragedy Looper episode. My goal is just to keep putting him in hats so no one realizes the truth about his hairline.

[@ChrisBatarlis]

The production value on your videos are EPIC! Very well done!

[@jgmark3262]

Yet another amazingly done video :D People don't play these type of games anymore that much, which is sad... Your channel should get more subs because of the high quality of these videos and the overall content. Keep up the awesome work guys :D

[@carrmak]

This episode was awesome. :D Your vid pushed me over the edge and made me buy the game.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Hey, cool! Hope you like it. It definitely turned out to be one of our favorite games.

[@KungfuTrickster]

Damn, this made me seriously think about buying a game I was absolutely not interested in! Good to see the quality of your videos goes up. Hilarious.

[@cinnahum]

New camera? This video looks even better than your older vids. Quality content as usual guys ❤️

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Same camera, I just spent more time on production design, lighting, and color grading to give it a unique look. Glad you like it!

[@khyronkravshera7774]

One of my favorite video's.

[@xanthusks]

Nicely done! If only the game took less time to play through I would be able to bring it to the table more.

[@Eisu]

Very true... I love this game but by jove, the playtime can get pretty crazy ^o^

[@davedogge2280]

I must say that the Seas of Glory expansion is worth getting. The German Spiel version is called Merkels & Marauders.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Yeah! We have the expansion, but have only scratched the surface so far by adding the weather module. Didn't want to overwhelm ourselves for our first few games. Excited to start adding more modules though!

[@Mr_Mooo]

This game would be awesome played in the bath, I can't believe Hana didn't join you for that

[@MjrLeegInfidel]

Nice Beer choice! Franzekaner Heffeweizen

[@kidd9]

*burrrp*

[@macbryanbautista7411]

What was those men of the Ihaya singing at the end, it keeps playing back on my head!! XD

[@Wedelvedeeply]

"Bully in the Alley", a classic sea shanty.

[@macbryanbautista7411]

I so love you guys and your works!!!

[@TheLordRossy]

Great video (as always) and that looks like a great game. Gonna have to add that to my list! I love me sailing games. It kinda reminded me of Cornish Smugglers game, which I'm sure you guys will also love. So what happened to your pimped up cloth sail ships then?

[@OverlordZephyros]

yay my country is in the boardgame!! lol

[@garyclarkson5246]

Seriously enjoyed this video! Might just have to pick up this game.

[@TheCart54321]

11:07 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@Voidling_System]

Well that sucks, you can only subscribe once.

[@Roxfox]

Oh dude! I freaking love this game! Now let's watch the video which I'm sure I'll love too! Edit: It was goddamn glorious! Love the atmosphere in this one! Exclamation points!

[@TheCart54321]

9:22 it's alright dude..... It happens to me all the time in risk😔

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Fool me once, shame on George. Fool me 1,000 times, shame on me.

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Hana can't get enough seamen.

[@TheCart54321]

If you guys want to beat her you got a change up your strategy and not team up with everyone against one person

[@bookworm3696]

they did change their strategy, what they needed was to give her competition.

[@Ama-Deus]

the game does not appeal to me but i sure love your videos

[@vampiricdemoncutie]

Is this your favorite pirate themed game? I'm partial to Rum and Bones Second Tide personally.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Haven't gotten a chance to play that! I also really like Libertalia, though it's not a "thematic" game really.

[@manner51]

very good, as always

[@brettpetersen1671]

Awesome, just made my day

[@danmatthews1504]

Great video, keep up the fantastic work!

[@josephtiefenthaler2765]

[@zippydoda3006]

[@Wedelvedeeply]

[@Hieronymus-Pseudonymous]

The effort is much appreciated. :)

[@mrspoatzog9415]

Enjoyed watching this :) keep it up!

[@portionssnus]

Why is the Wasteland express video blocked in Sweden?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Sorry! It's due to us using copyrighted music. The owner of the song would typically just take our ad revenue as compensation but unfortunately sometimes they choose to block our content entirely in certain regions. It's becoming more of a problem recently so I've started avoiding using copyrighted music now. You can try using a VPN and setting your location to US to get around some of these restrictions.

[@portionssnus]

@@Wedelvedeeply Too bad. Was a good episode.

[@portionssnus]

@@Wedelvedeeply Any way you could upload it to pornhub or some other hosting so that we in Sweden can watch it?

[@eddieharr]

what happened to this channel? I miss it. They made the best videos

[@SpoonyBard88]

Pandemic destroyed it.

[@eddieharr]

@@SpoonyBard88 booooooo

[@kevinerskine3299]

Fantastic as always!

[@Eisu]

Another awesome videos you guys! Also, yay, Hana won!

[@niallmckenna6977]

Whatever you guys smoke before making these videos send me a link to that shiz it seems to just make everything incredibly funny and love the new video btw

[@musleblasttheultimategamer4168]

15:08 The greatest victory song for a pirate. Anybody know the name of it?

Great as always!

[@siminlee2180]

Holy s*** new episode! thanks

[@eierlose]

nice video!

[@Ishtarru]

So did you already know you were married to a pirate queen when you decided to shoot a video about this game, or did you find out the hard way?

[@emberwarrior1831]

what was that shanty at the end

[@Wedelvedeeply]

"Bully in the Alley"

[@ImDoneItsOver]

just amazing

[@GianaManetheren]

But can you be a pirate ?

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

So good

[@DieNische]

Pure awesomeness. :)

[@craigcoombe6753]

always great

[@slackerjoe]

Amazing!

[@josedaviddossantos932]

fantastic

[@bookworm3696]

lesson of the game, don't do the same strategy as everyone else.

[@ericw996]

christmass- love z

[@MrTandtrollet]

What happened to the lighting in this video? =/

[@MrTandtrollet]

Hope you get some Patreon funds you can invest in lighting =) You deserve it.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

All our "game room" scenes tend to look the same. This time I wanted to better convey the flavor of the game, so I went for a look that would feel like the interior of a pirate ship.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Ha, thanks!

[@danieljohn9257]

13 unlucky people don't like these guys! I feel sorry for them.

[@thegreatmikejonez]

15:40 wtf?

[@glockta2910]

As if the chick would of won.

This is basically a dramatized recounting of exactly what happened our first two games. Feelsbadman.
