Who comes up with these names? I don't know, but they've got a weird sense of humor. Episode nine of the Naughty Bear DLC has been announced and the four challenges that await have a nautical twist; pirates! Admiral Giggles and The Dreaded Pirate Bearbeard are the two new characters that the new episode is sure to focus on, that and all the pirate bears running around. As always there will also new costumes, trophies/achievements, and new characters to unlock. The new episode will be coming out by the end of this month and will run you 400 microsoft points or $4.99 on the PlayStation network. This seems like an appropriate time for Naughty Bear to don his pirate costume.

ABOUT NAUGHTY BEAR
Naughty Bear is an action video game featuring a unique blend of comic mischief and shamefully bad behavior. Players will take on the role of Naughty Bear, a bear driven to seek vengeance after the other bears don't invite him to the big birthday party. Scorned for the last time, Naughty Bear becomes hell bent on manipulating and terrorizing the blissful bears inhabiting the Island of Perfection. Featuring an array of weapons, objects and scare tactics, gamers strive to earn Naughty Points as they inflict physical and psychological harm on Naughty Bear's enemies. This all-new scare-based points system means players will win the most rewards for being deviant and maniacal. The variety allows for a completely new experience every time players pick up a controller and the ill-fated bears become more difficult to harass and terrorize as the game progresses.
