I will never, ever, ever get sick of watching that video. I played EVE for a fair while, CEO'd a decent sized corp in a major alliance and took part in some of the biggest battles, and had to stop (aka: winning EVE) because "Life™".. but that video makes me want to get back into it SO badly. It's the most insane, addictive, complex, fun, rage-inducing, adrenaline-charging game I've ever played, but it will CONSUME you.

  EVE looks like how I imagine TradeWars 2002, and considering the countless hours I've sunk into that game, I'm going to stay _VERY_ far away from EVE. (So shiny!)

    Eve is tradewars with graphics. All the stories that are told about the crazy hijinx in EVE take me back to 2400bps modems and tradewars.

I love that video. The article was also one of the better articles written about Eve. EDIT: Not as emotive as the "This is Eve" video, but the MoMA exhibition video is also fairly good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGuDUbZIo_o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGuDUbZIo_o

I recognize some of the voices in that video :) Back when I used to play Eve, I ran with the BRAVE corp/alliance, they were good people to play with. Rahadalon is still my spiritual home.

Aah I recognise Rooks & Kings... The Clarion Call videos (see youtube rooks & kings clarion call) are absolutely brilliant.

That is five percent of EVE. The other 95% is spreadsheet manipulation and waiting for your kitchen timer to go off.

  Join a PvP corp, fly cheap ships, do just enough missions/exploration/pirating/trading/mining/whatever to keep yourself in ammo, and have a blast shooting people. EVE only turns into Spreadsheets in Space if you make it that way.

    In all seriousness, my theory is that the more you want to solo in EVE, the more it turns into Spaceships and Spreadsheets.

  but man they are the most fun spreadsheets in the world :-P and addicting. I want to make more isk. Why? So that I'll have more isk of course!

As a follow up, this "documentary" of sorts of the Rooks and Kings "pipe-bombing" campaigns is enthralling. I've never played the game, but watching this documentary made me feel like I've played months of it.
