This week in Sea of Thieves we get a welcome dev update video and update to the game. Drew is back to talk more about the plans going into the new year before break and I'm glad they are sharing so much. Things look up as they commit to addressing the stability and bugs currently hurting the health of the game. We've also got some things to talk about as they have made changes to the latest weapons in the game and I think I'm happy with them. There are new cosmetics in the emporium and shops. Don't forget to get your free emote! There's a giveaway for the Gilded Phoenix Ship Crest but I'm not digging what you have to do, to get it.

This week in Sea of Thieves it's time you get your Obsidian Capstan! It's easy to do and it will be something you have to spend actual money on to get. Details are at the top of the show so make sure you don't miss out on it or any other events happening this month. Just a reminder that the Gold Hoarder Episode will be at the start of the new year, as I will be on vacation the last two weekends.

This week in Sea of Thieves, let's talk about the latest podcast from Rare and December's events and news. There's been a lot of conversation about quality and stability within the community and this last week we got a new podcast and an expectation from the studio about what will happen in the coming month, season, and year. The name of the game is stability and experience as Rare decides to focus on bringing the game back to a reliable state instead of pushing content for the sake of delivery dates with bugs and exploits included. Hang out with me as I run through the podcast and latest press release to give you an idea of what's going on for December.

This week in Sea of Thieves I sit down with the Gold Hoarder to talk about all the things we are just now getting to try used to in Season 14. From Traps, to hanging off ledges, it's good to hear from folks who are ready to talk about what we think of Season 14 so far.

This week in Sea of Thieves it's a bit of a call back to an earlier time in the game's history. Drew Stephens joins us again, outside the normal Sea of News videos. It's time to talk about what's going on with the studio and how it will (hopefully) improve the quality of the game. These kinds of videos are never easy and while I will give my opinion on the situations presented I 100% respect the devs for putting their efforts in to help give us a better experience.

This week in Sea of Thieves we get a bit of an overview for the upcoming Mimic dart in December, a community weekend at the end of November, Twitch drops after the update on the 14th, and a Voyage of Luck to top it off. What could they possibly add to all of that in the next month you might ask? Well how about a Sea of Thieves licensed pinball machine, just don't ask how much it is.

This week in Sea of Thieves, I sat down with the Gold Hoarders to chat about the season so far. It's a rough time out on the seas, and honestly, with many of the features turned off and the game still having issues, it's hard to find the desire to go sailing. This week, I wanted to take some time to propose some ideas about the tools we do have in the game and what I think can be changed to make them more impactful.

This week in Sea of Thieves, Season 14 is here, and while not everything is launching right away there's still a lot to go over with the new weapons introduced. I congratulate Craig Duncan, Joe Neate, and Jim Horth on their promotions within and outside the studio. It's time to tear down the patch notes and talk about first impressions on what's good, bad, and needs some work.

This week in Sea of Thieves it's time to share our experiences with the Community weekend and also to talk about how hard it was for many of us to deal with the repercussions of a patch coming in days before a Community weekend. It's an interesting chat about what the goal of Insiders is as well as things the team at Rare are looking to do to help with problems this latest patch has created.
