Bob Titan Down: The Videos
I notice that I've had about five and a bit thousand hits on the destruction of the Bob Titan in Eve Online, just thanks to an atmospheric, but rather lmiited teamspeak recording.
So, pandering to our MTV-jump-cut-video age, here are some film versions of the same event.
Easiest to access is the YouTube version of Stahlregen's film of the event, which has predictably limited resolution, but a rather nice industrial soundtrack including some Trent Reznor later on, just for Dragon*. You can find the youtube version here.
If you want a higher resolution version of the same thing, download it from Eve-Files. This is the version you really want. This shows off how pretty the game is. Remember, when watching it, that those red and green and blue dots are all ships controlled by real people (there are a bunch of fighter drones out at smoe points, but those are set up differently on the player's overview), so this is a moderately big fleet action of over three hundred people.. And when the titan (the big, mushroom-headed thing) is surrounded by shimmering blue spheres, those are set up to prevent him getting away.
Rather less stylish, but probably more informative, is this youtube video, which has another version of the teamspeak soundtrack playing over it. You can hear Sesfan, our glorious Fuhrer, controlling the fleet and calmly ordering the support fleet to scrub attackers off our vital interdictors (the tiny ships needed to hold the titan down while the capital fleet killed it).

*NiN also turn up on whati think is otherwise one of the weaker GF recruitment videos. Nice imagery, nice sound, not enough apocalypse.
