A pirate I was meant to be. Entarrr our contest!

To help us to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day this September 19, 2K Games have provided three copies of Sid Meier's Pirates! for Wii to give away to our swashbuckling readers. The accent and vernacular you'll have to work on yourself.

The Wii title is a refreshed version of the PC strategy game from 2004. While it has been re-released on several platforms, the Wii version includes motion controls and new minigames.

To be in with a chance of a copy all you have to do is write a caption for one or more of the three screenshots below. 

Why yes, your sword does taste very pointy

Bring me Peter Pan!

Did they have to freeze me in THIS pose for the screenshot? My arm is killing me.

We will pick our favourite caption for each screenshot as a prize winner, but each entrant can only win up to one copy of the game. So to increase your chances, send in captions for all three, but it's not necessary for your entry to be considered. Don't worry though if you're just not enough of a pirate, the game is released on October 5 2010.

Entries are now closed. Congratulations to Unclebob, TJ, and KnowsNothing! Your winning captions have been added to the images above.

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but they all look like they're taken from cinematics.

I probably shouldn't post my submissions in here should I?

I really liked my caption for the 3rd pic.

Please do not post your submissions.

Those screenshots look just like the PC version, and that's fine with me. They're not prerendered cutscenes but they are partially scripted.

TJ SpykeSeptember 15, 2010

I don't know how likely I am to win since I am not the most creative person, but I entered a caption for each one.

I have played the PC version a lot, and the dude on the left in the third one is supposed to look like the dude in the first one.  Did they add extra faces to choose from or something?

I guess they did add new faces.

Also, if you want to win try sending one without gay and phallic jokes.  Believe me, you'd be in the minority.

But that 1st pic....
it's just begging for a good penis joke. & them both being guys automatically steers it into a gay joke as well.

we gotta work with what was provided.

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorSeptember 19, 2010

I was able to submit something that wasn't in one of those two categories. ;)

Of course, my entry sucked.  Not as awesome as my plan to use a DS to rob a bank.  I should have won that contest. ;)

TJ SpykeSeptember 19, 2010

I won't say what captions I used, but I can say that I didn't do any sexual jokes. Hopefully I can win, although I will e happy for others too.

Who's idea was it?

Not that I've ever been good at coming up with captions, but those second and third pictures don't give much to work with. I feel like I should have something for the first one, but... nope.

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorSeptember 20, 2010

My wife's idea for the third one was pretty genius...

StratosSeptember 21, 2010

Wait, it's already over and I didn't find out about it until now?... :'(

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorSeptember 22, 2010

Yay!  I won!

Yippie!

That settles it, this contest was rigged.
It's an inside job....


but on a serious note, when do all the winners get announced and are you guys gonna post all the caption submissions or just the winners and possibly the runner-ups?

TJ SpykeSeptember 22, 2010

Wow, I actually won! :)

I usually don't enter caption contests because I have a hard time coming up with something good, but I was inspired by these images.

The article has been updated with the winners. 
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who entered.

Wait, TJ Spyke pulled a funny? I can't wait to see the results.

KnowsNothingSeptember 22, 2010

Victory is mine! And just for kicks here were my submissions for the other two images:

Image 1: How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
Image 2: It's called "the sprinkler" and all the cool pirates are doing it!

I don't think there were any runners-up after filtering for aforementioned gay and phallic jokes.

I'm disappointed enough people sent in entries that weren't gay or phallic jokes that you were able to award a prize for each picture.

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorSeptember 22, 2010

These were mine (#3 was my wife's)

Image 1 caption: "Why yes, your sword does taste very pointy."
Image 2 caption: "Make one more banana joke."
Image 3 caption: Woman: "Wow, his dress is way cooler than mine!"

TJ SpykeSeptember 22, 2010

I don't remember what my other entries were or I would be happy to share them with you all.

Will the three of us be contacted for details or how does this work? I've never won a contest like this, so I don't know what to expect.

KnowsNothingSeptember 23, 2010

Karlie shot me an email this afternoon asking about my shipping address so make sure to check for that.  If somehow the email got lost in the ether I'm sure you could just PM a mod.

..... I really want to see the rest of the submissions.

It's funny that not enough not gay or phallic entries were made for runner ups considering only one of my 4 entries were in that category....


My first entry(pic #1) was a Menace to Society reference
Don't really remember my second (pic #2), but it was pirate related
Don't remember the 1st entry for the 3rd pic, but my 2nd entry for the 3rd pic was a reference to a Beyonce song.
something along the lines of
"I see you looking at my booty*,  but if you like it you should put a ring on it.


*Arrrgh booty because everyone knows a pirate loves booty

There are entries that we can't post.

I'm serious.

I'm getting a new one in a few weeks, my old one was stolen and I haven't had the money to replace it yet (yes I realize you were probably joking).
