Posted by Zonk on from the yohoho-and-a-bottle-of-arrrrr! dept.

Ubisoft announced this morning that they have come to an agreement with 3 Rings Design to publish Puzzle Pirates in retail stores. This exciting news couldn't come for a better game, winner of the IGF 2004 Technical Excellence and Audience Awards for Online games. From the Puzzle Pirates site: "Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is an online game in which you play a Pirate character in an ocean world. Hundreds of your fellow player Pirates swarm these Isles and Sea-lanes. For Pirates who love acronyms, Puzzle Pirates is an massively multi-player online roleplaying game, or mmoarrrrpg." Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is available for Demo on PC/Mac/Linux.

    Dearest Michael,

    It's been 4 long hours since I left your apartment. You looked so innocent as you slept. I kissed your cheek but a tear landed on your face. Thankfully you didn't wake up.

    I can't go on like this, Michael. Yes, yes, yes; I have strong feelings for you but I've been so used. When I submit stories to slashdot and you accept them I just know that my bum is in for abuse that night. Certainly the money we split from the advertising should cover that part of our business arrangement, yes?

    We never cuddle anymore. You never ask how my day was. When I get home you just say "Well, Roland, I accepted another submission" with your penis already erect and lubricated awaiting me. You never kiss me anymore. You never stroke my hand or send me flowers.

    I cannot continue to be used like this.

    It's over, Michael. Please don't try to find me.

    Roland P.
