Start Your Day Proper-Like With EVE Online Rap Video

The craziest EVE-related thing since that guy took all that ISK and ran off.

By Jeff Gerstmann  |  Oct. 7, 2009

If you want to wake up like I do, I recommend rolling out of bed, go immediately to your computer, rub your eyes until you can see straight, and check your e-mail.

Actually, forget the e-mail part, because checking mine led to this rap video about EVE Online, done for the players of EVE Online by some of the CCP folks that work on EVE Online.

  
  
Oh, I should probably tell you that there's cursing in this video, in case that's a deal breaker. Also, it confirms something I've expected for quite some time... you do not want to eff around with the dudes that make EVE Online. This is probably the greatest company-produced song/rallying cry since that "Infogrames Rocks My World" joint that got dropped back when there was still an Infogrames.

...OK, fine, here's that, too. Only one I found in an embeddable format also has dudes from an IGN podcast covering the song after the original plays... and that's also pretty good.

Love this rap, I'd probably also love Eve if it wasn't so hardcore.

THIS is where the subscription money goes! 
 
Not bad.  They didn't once rap "and I'm here to say."

This is simply wonderful.... all I can think is why? Though surely rapping doesn't need reasoning.
