EVE Online pokes fun at doomsayers with a new login screen

EVE

Are you prepared for the coming apocolypse ? Is your kitchen full of canned food and non-perishables, just in case the Rapture is happening tomorrow? What about a first aid kit and water? Are you planning on spending your last hours on street corners shouting angrily at stangers passing by? Maybe you can still save their--Ah, forget it.

The guys and gals at CCP in Iceland have always had a special way of making gamers laugh--whether through a NSFW rap video or an epic chess-boxing match at this year's FanFest. And now, they're making light of the cult proclaiming that Jesus is returning tomorrow, which will inevitably trigger a massive apocalypse to destroy the world as we know it.
