Arr. What be a better way to spends yer time than to be talkin’ like a pirate? Ow ’bout talkin’ like a pirate on International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Which just so happens t’ be this ‘ere (and ev’ry) September the 19th!

OK, enough of that (for now).

To help celebrate this International Talk Like A Pirate Day, Telltale is making its premiere episode of Tales of Monkey Island titled The Siege of Spinner Cay free for download from the company’s web site only on Saturday, September 19, 2009.

Ahoy, if you’re a gamer who’s always dreamed about bein’ a sea scalawag, then stop by Pirates of the Burning Sea, especially on September 19, 2008. Pirates o’ the Burnin’ Sea is the official Talk Like a Pirate Day pirate ‘ideo game (don’t e’en brin’ up Pirates of the Caribbean Online) and is goin’ t’ hold special e’ents on September 19 t’ pro’e it. Aye.

So all hands ahoy – if you show up that day, ye’ll find Cap’n Slappy and Ol’ Chumbucket, good old buccaneers, ready to talk to your in-game avatars and give ye some special quests. Supposedly a new treasure will wait ye as well. The only thing is, Pirates o’ the Burnin’ Sea is a pay-to-play MMORPG, so ye’ll need to be picking up th’ game at a local store before playin’. Savvy?
