Woop woop, that's the sound of the space police: Meet CCP's "Permaband"

Now normally when we talk about EVE Online, it's about a scandal, or some theft, or just the general talk on how to pilot your virtual spaceship better. This, however, is certainly not one of those EVE Online stories.

So what is this story about? Well it's a story about what happens when you add rap to CCP. And what would happen if CCP made a rap video and got many members of their staff to star in it... because they did. The guy in the top? No, he's not some aspiring white rapper (although he might be after this) -- he's Sveinn Kjarval, EVE's lead game master. The girls on his left and right? That's EVE's marketing director on the left and the CEO's assistant on the right.

Now before you go running off to find this golden video of awesome, we need to warn you, it's seriously not safe for work. (Except it's safe for CCP's work, because it's CCP's offices, so it's ok to watch this video if you work at CCP.) We'd love to embed it here for ya, but sadly, due to explicit lyrics (and a techno viking), we can't. But if you're ok with some NSFW content, then do we have the link for you.

This really puts other studios to shame.... CCP, I'm going to check your game out for another month :)

I'm not a fan of EVE, but this is pretty awesome. I love the Beastie-esq bass

That kicks so much ass. I'm not a huge fa of the game, but you guys have got the right attitude.

Love or hate the game or studio, you must admit that is totally fun to watch.

I would've loved to be there when they filmed this and even more, when they did the edit.

I'm happy to see that there's still a studio out there that takes time for a breather for simple fun.

Kudos to CCP and everyone that was in video or worked around it. Can only imagine the faces of the staff when they asked to be part of it ... oh man, the laughs.

PS : If I see the same kind of video from Activision/EA ... forget it, I'm not going there : )
