Dead Man's Tale - Be a pirate and get ready fo the new Windows Live Messenger IM client

Note: The game described in this article is no longer available.

Come Monday/Tuesday time-frame we should see the new Windows Live Messenger IM client move out of beta and into general "gold" release (it's the new name for what was previously called the MSN Messenger client).

Also starting up at apparently the same time is a cool movie-centric promotional method tying the film and the new software together. Using your Windows Live Messenger IM client, chat and play interactively with Billy Bones and Jack Sparrow, and then recruit someone else to help you continue to uncover secrets. Dead Man's Chest is the name of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which is set to show in theaters starting on July 7th. Dead Man's Tale is an online pirate IM adventure.

As of Sunday afternoon, the "Billy Bones" IM persona was not actually online, but something tells me it will be very soon.

Arrrrrr!! This could be fun.

Meanwhile...

go download the Live Messenger theme pack
and check out the Dead Man's Tale online game promo trailer here for a sneak peek

I AM JACK SPARROW. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO BE THE EASTER EGG ON THE LAST MOVIE AND I CANT FIND ME. PIRATES RULE. IF I SAW JOHNNY DEPP RIGHT NOW, I WOULD PASS OUT. HE IS MY LIFE. MY BEDROOM IS EVERYTHING CAPT. JACK. I EVEN HAVE PERSONAL PICS OF HIM THAT MY MOM GOT SPECIAL FOR ME.

PIRATES RULE THE WORLD FOREVER. JUST LOOK AT MY MOMS TATTOOS! I EVEN HAVE PICS AND PROOF TO SHOW THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE EGG AND BUENA VISTA IS A BUNCH OF LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
