Here's the skinny:
1- I love Ubuntu, not using it is not an option
2- I love pirates
3- I love puzzles
4- Therefore, I love this game called "Puzzle Pirates" (http://www.puzzlepirates.com) (can download and play for free, if use non-pay "oceans"/servers)
6- I had no trouble playing Puzzle Pirates in Warty, save for sound
7- My sound works flawlessy now, under Hoary, however playing the game gets funky, i.e.- it crashes randomly, usually when under a heightened processor load (which shoots up when I play the game)
To my knowledge, the game is entirely in java and should be flawless, theoretically. I am at school, and we have a T1 line or two, and have never experienced speed problems with the internet.
Somebody help, my beloved Puzzle Pirates is unplayable until it works again!

You most likely need the java runtime. I.e.: the sun-java5-bin package

You can install it with this:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin

It's in the multiverse repositories, to enable multiverse go to: System -> Administration -> Software Sources and select "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues"

Restart the browser and/or launch puzzle pirates.

Hmm. Iceweasel wants Gnash, which suggests it's a Flash game, in which case maybe the Flash beta is an idea. I'm not sure of that though.

No need for medibuntu, run this:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin ; sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
