Eve TV

EDIT: Breaking Blog News - CCP StevieSG speaks out!

World Cup be damned. The last two weekends have been the ultimate in geekery for me and it's been bloody marvellous.

I've had TweetDeck on one PC and Gwibber on another chirping away soothingly in the background while watching the Alliance Tournament #8 on my HDTV in the living room. Settled on a luxurious leather upholstered reclining chair with drink of choice in hand. I simply can't imagine a better way to spend a few weekends - aside from inviting some other fellow Eve aficionados to join in too!

As this is the equivalent of our World Cup, it's fantastic to see CCP really getting behind it now. The dark years of no Eve TV seem to be over and the new age of streaming HD feeds and a full blown Eve TV Studio Final is very welcome indeed. Not many games can pull this off with such a sense of community and belonging. Eve is awesome.

I'll leave you with an idea, why not arrange events next year in strategically located pubs/bars with large screen TV and show the final there with a couple of hundred fans in different countries? Anyone interested in this then we may need to join forces! Get in touch.

Some pod pilots in Eve might be happily going about their daily business, blissfully unaware of the tension, angst, subterfuge and ecstasy that is part and parcel of the current Eve Online Alliance Tournament 7.

However there are those that are more aware of this phenomenon and many more are becoming aware day by day. There are even people interested in this Tournament who have not had the pleasure of being in a goo filled pod. Rude, I know.  read the rest of this post»
