Keelhauled: A Sea of Thieves Podcast

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's that time before an update, where we get all the videos revealing what's coming up and going to be released. So it's time to go in and talk about what to expect. I think one of the interesting about this is going to be the mega-bundle in the emporium. It's a good value if you don't own a lot of it but for those that own a good chunk of the bundle won't benefit from a discount on the bundle.

We're a...

Ahoy there Pirates, you know I love it when I get to talk about all the awesome stuff going on with the game. I love my lore, I love my adventures and I love it even more when everyone else is loving it as well. The one thing I love the most, though? Halloween. It's my favorite holiday and I love to celebrate it as long as I'm allowed. I also love it when that's represented in games. While I think Rare feels like they're doing a go...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time for the Gold Hoarders to sit down and have a discussion on the second act of Season 17! We spend most of our time discussing the actual event and how things are progressing. I was really happy to have as many folks as we did this episode, and I wish we had an opportunity to talk more about weapons swapping and FOV changes to the game. There's definitely going to be a lot of discussion on the t...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to break into Royal Crest Fortress and explain why Ocean Crawlers care about art. Act 2 in Sea of Thieves' Season 17 is live with the Smuggler's Heist, and I have some lore and breakdowns for you in case you haven't already done the event yourself. There are some new things to buy and some more reminders about Twitch Drops, FOV changes to the game, and the Rare Anniversary event is still going...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time we get some details on the upcoming month-long event for the game. I had the opportunity to experience it on Insiders, and some initial thoughts are worth discussing when it's released later this week. There are some updates regarding Twitch Drops, given the confusion about who can provide them, which sparks a soapbox tangent and some valuable information about the next Sea of Thieves Fest, se...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the important dates for what's happening in September. As I get things settled in, I'll be able to get into the swing of things and have more to talk about as we get closer to the second update for Season 17. That being said, I wouldn't have had an episode if not for the Patrons, so again, huge shout-out to them for helping me. I'm looking forward to the upcoming event, and make sure you join the D...

Ahoy Pirates! It is the end of the month, and I was expecting to have a much different episode out for you this week. Instead, the missing episode will be lost due to the forever black screen.  Instead, Caleb decided to surprise me with a totally random and really entertaining episode to tide you all over during my travel across the country. Thanks to Caleb for totally surprising me with this, and I'm glad I happened to check my Di...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I sit down and talk to a good group of the Gold Hoarders and get some first impressions for Season 17. It's not all glitter and gold, and you might be surprised by some of the feelings they have. GodHammer does a wonderful job of breaking down the upcoming Community Weekend as he took the time to break down the news. All in all, it's an interesting start to a season that was showcased at Xbox's E3-esque...

This whole party will be for nothing if they see us. So make sure you keep your distance, but don't look like you're keeping your distance with these new kegs. This week, it's time to dive into the first week of Season 17 and break down some of the changes that came with this update.

This week in Sea of Thieves, I can't help but ignore the 400-pound gorilla in the room who's asking for parking validation. Season 17 looks like a good approach to the new development for Sea of Thieves, but they still have to make the content compelling. Things are hectic for your Captain, but I'm still trying to get content out for you regularly. I hope you all had a good Gold and Glory weekend as we head into Rare's 40th Anniver...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I wanted to go over in more detail my thoughts on the latest podcast from Rare. There are some valuable pieces of information regarding the custom servers, including what's included, as well as the rollout of Season 17 as a new means of delivering content and what to expect over the next few months. Some info came out from Drew about the feedback received in Insiders and how that will connect to Season ...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time for an intimate chat with a couple of the Gold Hoarders this month as we dive into how Season 16 has gone and this month's worth of content. We go a bit into the upcoming seasons and talk about the pros and cons of the Insider program having the NDA removed. GodHammer and Regis were kind enough to join me this month and shout out to all of those who wanted to join but weren't able to!

Suppor...

It's the last update for Season 16, and I'd say the Reapers had a good run. Events were well-themed, and the update to Reaper's keeps the faction interesting. It's time to break down the latest patch notes and cover the Twitch drops and other updates!

Things are looking up for Sea of Thieves as the dev team takes some time to talk about the changes they're making to give the community a sense of trust as they commit to focusing on requested features and less about unsure updates, less balanced seasonal content and more certainty with upcoming events and more.

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's bad news for the studio as Everwild has been shut down, along with many other projects within Xbox being killed off. We just got news for Sea of Thieves this week as we're looking to the final update for Season 16, but notably, there doesn't seem to be a community weekend planned.

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the June Community episode where I sit down with the Patreon members to talk about Sea of Thieves. This month, we spent the majority of the episode talking about Fight Nights. The good, the bad, and the greedy! It's safe to say that a lot of people had good and bad experiences, but at the end of the da,y the double rep feels like it needs to be baseline instead of the exception. We also cover a bit...

This week in Sea of Thieves, the update to Season 16 for June has hit so I hope you put on your wizard's hat and rob. Alternatively, you could equip your chainsaw hand and grab your boomstick to end the undead hordes that await you. Reaper Chests can now be opened, giving you a new way to clear out pve threats or take down ships. This is one of the few tools added to the game that I feel can make or break a sink on the seas. Aside ...

This week in Sea of Thieves, we discuss the upcoming patch and its current contents, Pirate Profiles —a feature that has frustrated many—and the reveal of Season 17 at the Xbox Showcase. A lot of confusion has been around the features recently revealed by Rare, leaving the community trying to understand what is going on with the requests they've had for years. I think there's a lot to be said about this from both perspectives and u...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the Xbox Showcase, but I'm away checking it out in person. So, instead, I've worked out that you will have a new interview with Mike Chapman, Creative Director at Rare LTD. I still cover the news, as we have a hot fix and a monthly update giving us the schedule for events this month. I hope you all enjoy the episode, and please let Rare know on socials if you do! Thanks, and I hope you have a great...
