Some pirate games are quite complicated – not only do you sail, but you also have to worry about swordfighting, minding your investments, replacing your old lame clothes with new, more piratey clothes, and so on.

By way of promoting their upcoming game – Buccaneer: Pursuit of Infamy – Stickman Studios has created an animated video of Swashbuckle singing their song “Drink Up.”

Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy – an upcoming MMO - is now available for beta testing! Sign up now, if you’re interested in checking in out.

The game is still in development (of course), but it appears that it’s going to be a ship-centric MMO, meaning no mucking about as a pirate in town. But I would imagine this means more resources can be alloted to making for proper, piratey, fun ship-to-ship combat. Screenshots definitely look great, as does the trailer - can’t wait to see more.
