Day of Darkness

[joesimonetti]

Engine trails :(

[TheSelsner]

Thats when you're as good as dead... Your ship starts leaking.

[Venirto]

@joesimonetti they are back now :]

[forfrackssake]

Nice friggin job Dire. Probably the best fanmade vid I've ever seen...period.

[mozerdude78]

ok i maybe seeing things but if this the back story of the Amarr takeover then why is it that at 1:21 there is what looks to be a Caldari Phoenix dreadnought?

[FearLancer2]

@mozerdude78 The Amarr and Caldari ad in an alliance politically which is why some Amarr ships have missile launcher slots, other wise they would be strictly laser only vessels...but i dont think the Caldari and the Amarr were best buddies when the Minmatar and Amarr were going at it like this. They were probably to busy pissing off the Gallente and vise versa

[Caboose3013]

minmatar scum

[ericdoggbikerguy]

@Caboose3013 amar slaver!

[aeislugh]

that begining artwork looks like stuff from someone on Deviantart named Alexiuss. If it is his, was permission gained to use it?

[Mohsin77]

amarr -_-

i'm minmatar !! :D

[drusszan]

I play eve and have a life I"m just learn to blance the two.

[H8FilledVoid]

To think...as awesome as this vid is, the graphix has seen an upgrade since! Would love to see a new vid based on the new graphics and effects

[JayDNB93]

DRUM AND BASS BREAK BEAT :D

+ eve online perfect combo :P

[shortman698]

wow that was amazing

[ChrisRaptor1]

Eve is just an amazing game......nice shots, how'd you get the camera to do what it was doing @ 3:31 to 3:35?

[gl0be86]

i play and i can have a life too :) the best game ever :D

[trollingrollingtroll]

played it for 3-4 years it is the best game out there

[skyebeen]

YOU GUYS JUST THUMB ME DOWN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!! lol...

[Enos666]

we reject your truth and replace it with our troll :D

[skyebeen]

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperMaajka]

You can't play EVE and have life. Those two simply don't go together. Now go get some chicks and leave me alone, I have a spaceship to fly :P

[santo4600]

@SuperMaajka Haha speak for your self

[flyingmonkey1001]

@SuperMaajka Dude Justr Find a Girl the Plays EVE or Games Ever think of Dat :P

[SuperMaajka]

@flyingmonkey1001 That's impossible, and you know it :P

[generalagondray]

@SuperMaajka no its true i know a few that to...as well as halo >:P

[pipinho114]

@SuperMaajka wtf did you just say? the chicks r better. altough i love these trailers

[nukepuppy]

This is the day of awesome ;)

[TheShadowGrave]

Wow you people seem to get very political and liberal over something like this thats just a game.

[Wizardunic]

That is what makes a game more fun. Getting personal in the game makes it more exciting, and more worth the time that you spend playing it.

[81kamill]

Thats cause these idiots believe a game is based off real Life Occurrences... shows how well their IQ level is..

[DantoraMandova]

No offense, this is the "only" game which you can get political and liberal over.

[ibanez0r420]

eve is not a game zomg what are u saying!@#!@# *BIG GRIN*

[FearLancer2]

ok I am a fellow minmatar race pilot and I am wondering if you are so good then how did you let us scum get free think about that MINMATAR FOR EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! SUCK THE EDGE OF MY 1400 PROTOTYPE SEIGE CANNON AND MY CRUISE MISSLES

[Wearlje]

You dident really breake free, the jovias kicked amarr ASS and that gave you an opening

[killallianceftw]

the amarr were also distracted by the Gallente

[FortunateSon999]

Would those be Caldari Cruise Missiles?

[DarkLordOfPenguins]

@FearLancer2 The Jovians helped. They took out most of the Amarr fleet and set them back, giving the Minmatar an opportunity to rise.

[Rugalez]

The world will know that few fought against many, and free men fought against tyrants.

[SEMPRENSON]

what is the music name song  ?!?!?!?!?!??!!?

[Jupiman]

Noisia - Lost Cause

[Militarized]

Amarr Empire Forever! Our Empress forever! We will rule the Minmatar scum once again!

[aarilaxox]

Indeed we shall! Glory to the Divine Empress Jamyl Sarum!

[djniallc]

Glory to the golden fleet!!

[kraneka]

@Militarized jog on

[the0real0Suraru]

go ammar, taking out the fucker-thucker trib srry... ya go amarr yayz

[Aktof]

I have a couple of free 21 day trials left if anyone needs one! :)

[CaptMorgasm]

@Aktof Id really appreciated one. =]

[EliteGod000]

Dont feel bad about being a nerd :)

[Mandrak789]

death to amarr dogs!

[AzraelDomonov]

FREEDOM!!!!

[rbtl90]

I hate to be the nerd here...I really do...but the Hurricane didn't come into existance until after the war...its part of the new "Minmatar Rennaisance"...along with the Maelstrom

[idk70six]

You sure do know your history of ships...

[dasquirrel715]

yeah and titans werent around back then either were they :P

[darthkarr]

@rbtl90 dud this vid was done 3 years ago..they probaly only had a,limited numebr of ships to use at the time

[dasquirrel715]

@rbtl90 Wormholes man, time travel. These were hidden prototypes n stuff.

[Visualbros]

The title of the OST??? O_O

[joudheus]

cool, dig the battle scenes. Did you use Fraps to record some of it? Some of it looks CG though, like the scene where the Wolf dodges the laser beam, doesn't happen in eve. All shots visually create a hit regardless of actually hitting it. Yeah complicated tracking formulas using angular velocity.

[yuranaten]

i use after effects to basically remove and place my own visuals... in day of darkness 2 he states he used after effects for that so id assume he used it for this also... basically fraps it all then just after effect it to what u wanna see :D

[Redlightning7]

I would love to play this... But I don't have money for P2P games...

[nitr0ix]

dunno why WoW is the number 1 ( as everybody says ) Eve is much more fun to play and you dont have to be grinding ages to get biggers ship weapons...and so.... EVE number 1!

[AsianManZan]

This niknak kid is probably to young to sign up for EvEanyways..

[niknak1830]

lol i just dont like pay to play games. if i got addicted to it im gonna have some problems..so yea i admit that im a game freak and im only 15..noob

[AsianManZan]

Im 15 to but you are really immature im sorry to say.. you should play eve though.... great fun... maybe your parents will pay for it.. or if your lucky your neighbor will hire you to work at his restraunt(likeme) XD haha

[niknak1830]

lol gonna turn 16 in 2 days from now..yeaa im still in touched with my immature me :P lol and im to busy now to play games ~.~ im in college sooo to many bs especially when your taking digital arts..

and restaurants are not my thing XD and i could pay it using my money but..nah..i dont wanna get addicted to a game like eve XD i've played the trial..damn so good...

[Helge129]

You seem like 8 years or so TBH, for a 15 year old, you are quite immature.

[niknak1830]

its the internet i can do what ever i want so dont judge me on how i comment

[Helge129]

Firstly, no, you cannot do whatever you want, and secondly, I judge people after how they act, and you act like an immature 8 year old kid.

[niknak1830]

internet..if i say fuck you and screw you you can't do shit cause its the internet..all you can do is argue so..yea i can do everything i want with the net. and u dont even know me

[Helge129]

No, you can not do whatever you want in the internet. There are things you can do, and things you can't.

[niknak1830]

duude..i said "whatever i want" im not sayin i can do it all

[niknak1830]

god..i have been through this argument AsianManZan and

RogueFighter15 and the 2 other people below this comment thought of the same thing.. soo stfu

[AsianManZan]

how old are you?

[nukeromania]

you wrote Minmatar Empire. It's Minmatar Republic.

[bunsenFubar]

This is many years before current date in eve. The Minmatar was an Empire before they were attacked and enslaved by the Amarr.

[RogueFighter15]

Why are e-fights always taking place on the majority of videos I watch? Shadowhawk, you should take your uptight, snobby, rich-kid attitude outta here. The internet is no place for you.

And niknak1830, your immaturity is begging to be ripped to shreds by everyone that is unfortunate enough to see your inane comments. Lord knows we're all dumber having read them.

[niknak1830]

lol

[AsianManZan]

Niknak is obsessed with penis? You my little one have childhood issues.. go have a talk with your mummy and daddy why dont you?

[Shadowhawk555]

If you look at that station and the first thing that pops into your head is PENIS! Then you have issues.

[Shadowhawk555]

You seem to think I'm a rich kid who looks down on him because I believe he is some sort of lower being. No, not at all. I'm not rich, I have never been rich, and neither have either of my parents who have both risen from poverty to the American middle class.

Please understand though, like you said: "[Niknak's] immaturity is begging to be ripped to shreds."

I think the only way to save our generation is to remind them their thoughtless actions have consequences, ones that make people react.

[RogueFighter15]

Makes sense. I like your way of thinking. +1 for you.

Although I must admit, I did think of a penis when I saw the station. Its resemblance is striking. >_>

[Shadowhawk555]

True, but you have to look for that resemblance, and it only does at a certain range of angle.

[RogueFighter15]

No, you don't. At 0:36, it looks just like one...albeit one on Viagra. xD

[shroomjohnny]

Tech 1 Graphics!!!! Great video there should be more story done properly to the eve history.

[Shadowhawk555]

You must have a weird looking penis if that thing resembles it at all. I'm guessing you don't get out much?

[niknak1830]

lol. ur such a noob hav sum humor u pussy

[Shadowhawk555]

I'm a "noob"?

Atleast I can spell.

Here I was thinking the penis thing was evidence enough of you being 12. I see now the whole thing were you can't spell for shit is quite telling as well.

[niknak1830]

usin shortcut in words makes me 12??ur such a puss u puss

try it sometimes..u noob

guess again noob i ain't 12 noob

u stupid noob

u guys are no fun at all

...

stupid noob

if u reply your gay

[Shadowhawk555]

I have to admit it's quite amusing to be called gay/stupid/noobish by a kid who cant spell, cant articulate thoughts and is obsessed with penis.

[niknak1830]

mmmm if i were to guess...your like..40 or something...no wonder your so boring

[Shadowhawk555]

16, I'm just a good example not all teenagers are immature. But it appears there are people that defeat the purpose of that.

[niknak1830]

k noob

[AsianManZan]

I dont know shadow but he seems cool... way to stand up for yourself dude :)

[FearLancer2]

Nodoupt Gallente represent death while all of the others follow

[shufflestyle197]

And then the Gallente come along and help the minmitarians - and ppretty much broke them free , of the ammarians : D

[joope666]

Actually that was the jove. According to the backstory the amarr attacked the jove thinking they were a little fish but it nearly cost them their empire giving the minmatar an oppurtunity to free themselves.

[RedCrescentDemon]

The battle of Vak Atior. Ever since that time, the jovians opted to destroy the star gates leading to their homeworlds. The other reason why amarrians lost was because there were jovian spies inside the amarr system who informed the jovians of their coming.

[GROracle]

Not all of them, almost a billion slaves were kept, until the emperess freed some of them.

[NukemHigh225]

what do you use to make your vids?

[fetile]

Very nice video... the soundtrack is great !!

[briggsyNF]

some incredible footage, timed perfectly with a brilliant song. Top marks!

[AzzySunfire]

How do I enable these pretty Engine Trails? I do not see them. Are they an old feature?

[nanakon28]

Yeah I think they removed it a while back. I never noticed it until I just read this comment lol.

[KyrosEmerson]

it was modified with the trinity patch. They wont appear unless ur moving fast enough, ie in an interceptor with mwd

[VrolokEren]

Yeah there old news. But it would be nice if they had the Standard Graphics option...

[Hyssar]

Yes, they're an older feature that, sadly, was removed.

[vesemashouk]

kick ass vid, really well done.

I <3 Rifters!!!!!

[Dinyctis]

Hell yeah drum and bass.

[pepupapi]

This is so well edited to the music. I got goose bumps.

[moses001]

what is this track?

[pepupapi]

Noisia & Teebee - Lost Cause

[Wikkus]

Still my favourite Eve video of all time; great DnB, fantastic footage, awesome editing. Kudos.

[steelhammer103]

Wow this had me jumping out of my seat.

This is really good and action packed.

[hraharahra]

Amazing video! Please make more.

[kwkiller]

...There is, see "day of Darkness II"

[seamuslowe]

This is bustin!

[dandashem]

excuse me?

[hilamary]

Means it's awesome haha

Don't know if you were joking or not, so don't make me feel like an idiot =P

[dandashem]

lol i know, just JKing :)

[Buppen93]

what is this song called?

[MRMERCEDES101]

Minmatar baby!

[4AdtA5]

Amarr forever!

[ragw33d]

this wipes the floor with stals goonswarm vids and even beats ccp's work well done :)

[Nil0cy]

Dude, you just went from strengh to strengh with your videos here, another 10/10!

[Highspeedlimo]

Another good vid!!! MAKE MOAR!!!!!

[ensXP]

This is one of the greatest MMO's ever... EVE Online... don't speak of what you don't know :-P

[VuittonDonDanny]

lol even geeks have a backbone! =o i had no idea! sorry! lmao!!

[ensXP]

no problem mate... glad u came to your senses... heheheheheh

anyway... check out the game... it really is one of the greatest...

[sing4u2day]

fukkin amarr

[FarosWarrior]

great job!

5/5

[Magikpotion]

beutiful video, music fits wonderfully with the scenery

[Fwubbers]

stupid Amarr - pick on somebody your own size, like the Caldari, and have a REAL epic fight.

Missiles only take longer to hit you because we enjoy watching our foes wet their pods while it closes in.

Missiles are the most diverse of weaponry, able to operate at close and longrange, and able to deal out each and every damage type out there.

Bombs take that step further.

Caldari ftw

[vova200]

so sick this tune! goes well with the imagery

[lancashireUK]

Excellent, excellent video. Nice work!

[abpongo]

What music is used?

[abpongo]

> Music:

> Noisia & TeeBee - Lost Cause

oh, im stupid))

[anita33328]

absolutely amazing.

[LurkMoar101]

Dire...you definately have a gift for making these vids.

CCP..commission this man,you wouldnt believe how many people Ive got into Eve just from showing them this vid,The Exiled and Tortuga.

Awesome stuff.

[Luba26]

Why would that they do that when he does it for free? They would have to buy licenses for the music he uses, pay him and distribute it.

[DireLauthris]

I fail at youtube! Thanks for the comment mate, it's appreciated! Keep an eye out for a new chronicle coming soon[tm]. :)

[BobaFett13welt]

Excellence work! Amazing! if i can sugest... Trinity version please ! ;)

[bct0Ad]

great job, man! the timing with the music is excellent, the video-editing itself (all the focuses, slow-mos and so on) is amazing.

i would really like to see more of your videos, especially if they all have such a great choise of musik ;-)

[DireLauthris]

Thanks for the comments mate. :)

Check out The Exiled - also has a track by Noisia. :D

[HambaTT]

One of the best videos made by far, a fantastic job..

[Banitas]

i start play in this game four days ago in trial....excellent game :) and nice work five stars from mine...

[jleack]

Good work.

[daconias]

The footage, editing, music.. absolutely amazing. You should keep making these, as you clearly have eye for it.

[XeseroxEUR]

You did a great job on this. I was quite impressed beign that i've been playing eve for a very long time. I can't wait to see if you put anything else together. Loved the camera shots, and you did awesome with the editing. Also the Music fit perfectly! I can't say enough about this one. definatly, gonna have to feature this on Eden Underground.

[DireLauthris]

Thanks a lot. :D

[Nightdemon911]

Nice vid man
