Jay calls Dave about the newly popular online adventure game Sea of Thieves. With pirate culture having a bit of a renaissance period in the last decade or two, Sea of Thieves makes a big splash as one of the most widely successful pirate-themed games since the likes of Monkey Island. With a soundtrack by none other than legendary game composer Robin Beanland, the music plays an active role in the game mechanics, with characters on your ship joining in an out of a minstrel-like spontaneous ensemble. Similarly, the featured song of this call, Maiden Voyage, has its own unique evolution as you move from tutorial mode to the open seas.
