EVE-Online devs make a rap video :) (in Off-topic)


Sickone October 8 2009 4:01 PM EDT

As the finale of the fanfest presentations, the guys at CCP (the makers of EVE-Online) made the following rap video...
http://www.youtube.com
The full text of the song is in the comments to the video, if you have trouble understanding the Icelandic accent of the devs.

Considering this guys are a bunch of programmers (well, mainly), the video is a quite hilarious in-joke, but it's not a bad song either (quite catchy).
Personally, I'm a bit biased, since I love EVE, and have been playing for ages...
...what do you guys think of the vid itself, ignoring who made it and that it's meant in a funny way (i.e. an objective viewpoint).

I didn't find it very funny..

Absolutely hilarious, and a brilliant bit of PR.

Also, "From Atlanta to Shanghai to the Icelandic nation
Throw your hands up for World Domination!"

The chorus is very un-PG though.

I could only watch about 1/4 before I was about to die from boredom. That's 1 minute that I will never get back.

censored & fined Sickone 25k.

Well, it's just one un-PG word, but it's repeated quite often, and it's a very un-PG word :P

By the way, love the overlays with the names/functions of the "artists" in the clip... the "Technoviking" is the executive producer of the game, the singer is the lead game master, etc.

i liked it! it was quite a contrast to the mellow relaxing music played in the game. ; )

and another 25k down the drain.

Next time post something _after_ asking if it's ok, not _before_. Also don't forget if it's a no, then it is a no.
