Things to do while waiting

OK so I have my Email client open ready for the signal to join the queue of downloaders (I reckon the server is going to have a hard time at least) so in the mean time Im thinking of doing other things while I wait... So far I have played a bunch of Sid Meier's Pirates, and been reading these forums.

Im looking for preferrably legal piratey themed things to do/games to play to get me in the swashbuckling mood, Wallace and Gromit just doesn't cut the mustard.

I really wish I could find my copy of Tropico 2....

Any suggestions anyone?

On a side note, what are the chances they would torrent the game? Im reasonably new to Telltale games so I don't really know the order of service...

Hmmm....

    I'm eating cheesecake, twiddling my thumbs, and frantically trying to fix my PC so I can actually play the game when it comes out :(

    Hmm Toast you say Amazonnia... its lunchtime I guess... to toast or not to toast THAT is the question....

    Funny, My girlfriend has just gone to Rome for 5 days (nice timing with MI coming out :D) and she has left me her iPhone, I may just check out Toki Tori.

    No cheesecake here, what flavour cheesecake you got there? And what probs you having with your PC? perhaps these landlubbers can help?

    I'm playing some Rise of Nations with the CMI soundtrack on in the background. Wish they had a countdown though, would make it a lot easier to know when to jump on the computer instead of wasting the day waiting for it to drop.

    Passion fruit cheesecake. And I'm not going to lie - it is beyond awesome. You haven't lived until you've eaten cheesecake while having a hot shower.

    I don't know what's wrong with the computer, it won't boot up and is just showing a stupid DOS screen. It hasn't BSOD'd, but google isn't turning up anything helpful either :(

    Anyone here using bootcamp on mac?

    Heh, you make a good point Rezzo however it's not like any of us have anything better to do... I mean, what could be better than waiting for ToMI? (other than playing ToMI or possibly eating the passion fruit cheesecake)

    Prototype was great fun, would be the perfect game to make the wait seem shorter. Nothing more enjoyable than fighting your way into a huge pack of infected and army and setting off the tentacle barrage.
