...there is another EVE ad. Seriously did their marketing department get a swift kick in the pants or what? I understand there was an expansion released... but that was a month or so ago, why all the hype now?

 

maybe its just me lol

(in an ethereal voice directed at the OP)

Eve is calling you.

Answer Eve's call.

Try it.

Damian, I see EVE ads occasionally on my ATT Yahoo home page right in the upper right.  I think that's pretty cool!  ;)

I think the biggest one I noticed was on Zero Punctuation for The Escapist. There is an ad for EVE after every one of his videos. But anyways I thought about it, but I've tried EVE three times already always leaving after a month, I just don't think its for me.

just because you see an advert doesnt mean you have to do what it tells you. you could try... ignoring them.

The Escapist has always supported EVE. They have run full page ads since soon after the website started. Also many of their magazine stories have featured EVE (most penned by Jim Rossignol, who is probably the biggest eve fanatic in the journalism industry.) The trailers are just the next step I guess since they now have major video content.

Oh and Yahtzee = Win

Yea Yahtzee is great. Makes me wonder if they will ever make him do an EVE review. Although it seems rather counter-productive to have him slam it with his humor and follow the video with an ad for the game. CCP may not take to it kindly lol.
