Evil Genius 2: World Domination has you take control of one of four maniacal megalomaniacs on a mission for global conquest. Build your lair, manage your minions, take on the forces of justice, hoard the world's treasures and dominate the globe.
This video was sponsored by Rebellion so a huge thank you to them for making this possible. 2004's original Evil Genius was a huge part of my childhood and I've been incredibly excited for this long awaited sequel ever since it was announced. So I am thrilled that Rebellion reached out to me to help them promote the game. I've been lucky enough to have been able to play the game for the past couple of weeks ahead of release and I am having a blast. So I hope some of you might like to have a go at conquering the world for yourselves. If you're interested please click my link above! It really helps!
This video was a huge project for me, the most ambitious video I've ever put together (so far!) and I had such fun making it. A massive thank you to everyone on the team who came together to make this project the best it could be from the folks on set, the extras and builders to the folks who helped with the editing and graphics, you're all fantastic!
(To anyone worried, social distancing was in place on set and the rare points in the video where people were near each other were achieved via camera trickery!)
Lots more BIG project in the pipeline! But in the meantime have fun toppling governments and shrining national monuments to decorate your office with. ;)

EVIL GENIUS 2 IS AVAILABLE NOW! bit.ly/EvilGeniusStupendium LYRICS: VERSE 01: Tune in to your favourite station Peruse any news publication See the state of the states and nations Corporations, inflation, invasions, Well, I say that they could take some Intercontinental consolidation One flag emblazoned with my face on And I don’t plan on an application Introducing villainy squared Just your standard reclusive trillionaire With a maniacal air and a violent flare Vibrant tyrant enshrined in a stylish chair You can find me there on my island lair Where the sirens blare as I stride in striking fear With the slightest glare, I’m not fighting fair Step aside for the frightful heir So you’d better get to polishing your white flags I’ve a plethora of monuments to hijack Shrink the senate, use the columns as a spice rack And enveloping the commons in a flytrap Minions all over my map Turn your dominion into a nice back- Yard for my kingdom, your income might lapse, you might have To squint at the print on the ransom price tag SPOKEN INTERLUDE: You know, I’ve just realised. This dotted line around the globe is supposed to be the equator… I always thought of it as more of a ‘cut here’. CHORUS 01: If all the world’s a stage Then I shall play my part You may say it’s cliché But I say it’s an art Every deck needs a knave To come and stack the cards The world may be yours to save But it’s mine to tear apart One button’s all it takes To set the earth a-quaking Or is the world afraid And the planet started shaking? You’d need tectonic plates To serve the schemes I’m baking And the menu for today Is some world domination VERSE 02: I’m the meanest genius scheme unfurler Genus steeped in burglars, murderers Fiend Weekly’s champ moustache twirler I cheated. I used curlers. Yes my amusements bamboozle A glamorous ruse to confuse all Your plans to tamper and snoop, You’re delusional Can’t see no scheme whilst you’re schmoozing my valets Casino screen obscures my base So if you don’t want a day to rue let’s Just play some roulette, forget the backstage But if you do sleuth through to my sanctum I’ve a few new tools here to have fun Like a tank full of man-eating plankton Or a smooth henchman with a handgun So whilst I’m busy dislodging Norway You’ll spend all day dodging my sawblades Raising my pinball scoresheet Freak in the broadsheets, Rube Goldberg in the hallways Stay between the laser beams You still won’t make it face-to-face with me Your agency just paid you to take A vacation in my interrogation seat One wrong step in my bullion vaults And you’re gonna be met with a billion volts But if you do pocket any ill-gotten profits Then I’ll dock it via rocket from the minion at fault My management skills are uniquely stirring When lacking in diligent measly servants Having one killed with the team observing Works magic on building the weak’s subservience SPOKEN INTERLUDE: See, I think I’d make a perfect leader. I’m very hands-on. And by that, I mean my hand’s on this big red button that may or may not do something terrible to the moon’s gravity. Don’t worry, I’ll write you a lovely orbit-uary. CHORUS 02: If all the world’s a stage Then I shall play my part You may say it’s cliché But I say it’s an art Every deck needs a knave To come and stack the cards The world may be yours to save But it’s mine to tear apart You secretly live below My laser-mounted space station You may need to think it over But if I get bored of waiting I’ll be beaming tic-tac-toe Between the borders of your nations Want to keep the Swiss Plateau? Then give me world domination VERSE 03: I’ve minions poised and entrapped informers Villains exploiting the map’s four corners Off to deploy my outlandish orders Warrants are void. International waters. If I steal her bling, do I have to wait For the Queen of England to abdicate? Shrink rays are aimed so why raze the place? Turn your famed locations to paperweights Now your monument’s stored in a portable size Does my offer seem more of an affordable price? Your democracy’s nice but you ought to comply Or I’ll alter your mind via the water supply Reports coming live of some sort of device That authorities describe as an orb in the sky It’s absorbing the light and distorting the ice ‘Til your tenth story penthouse is caught in the tide The Forces of Justice ought to give up ‘Fore I bore through the crust and get awfully destructive Force down your government’s doors then I’ll bust in Awesomely scored by a chorus of trumpets Rulers you foolishly trust to prevent My ascent just uselessly buckle and bend If your throne ever feels too comfortable then Remember all good things come to an end CHORUS 03: If all the world’s a stage Then I shall play my part You may say it’s cliché But I say it’s an art Every deck needs a knave To come and stack the cards The world may be yours to save But it’s mine to tear apart That stylish new telephone Home appliance sensation Rewrites your genetic code Every time the tone is playing So I’m sure to get your vote For my new administration Detonator’s set to blow For some world domination SPOKEN OUTRO: It’s too late to stop me. By now the laser dolphins are in position and every world leader at the beachside peace summit and barbeque has been incinerated. I’ll be sure to notify their next of fin. MUAHAHAH. That was good. Somebody write that down.

""If all the world is a stage, then I shall play my part" It has always been Sir Tupendium's credo. Once a little-known singer, composer and showman, this true Englishman was captivated by the "performance" of the past Evil Genius. Inspired, without any compulsion and with great willingness, he performed and composed music and shows for the glory of the new order in a fit of insane inspiration and quickly grew in both popularity and talent. After the defeat and disappearance of the previous Genius, Stupendium was crushed and in the newer world he did what he loved without the former spark and enthusiasm. Until he realizes that the years have not passed in vain - now he is the greatest Showman in the world, and the accumulated experience, knowledge and wealth can be used for a new calling - to re-conquer the world in a new, completely fabulous way." Stupedium is a deception/science-type genius that is able to independently perform on stage in a casino by lowering the heat and quickly removing suspicion from agents. In combat, he relies on his microphone to stun and damage enemies and subordinates. Abilities: Room for Improvement - Makes minions work faster on their tasks and restores their stamina and intelligence. The Apex-- begins the performance by mesmerizing all agents in the area of ​​effect and allowing the minions to deal with them calmly. Nook Line and Sinker-The knowledge of show business and all the intricacies behind the correct selection of equipment for their performances and music creation has allowed the Stupedium to purchase the necessary equipment cheaper and cover up kidnappings with concerts, reducing the fever from operations, and its scientific and deceptive minions work 12.5% better. The superweapon of the Stupendium is called P.E.R.F.O.M.A.N.C.E. The machine, with the help of a network of satellites, plays a specially designed song from each media outlet in the selected region, turning everyone who hears it into crazy fans for whom it is the greatest happiness to fulfill any command of their idol. Random fluctuations in the lair brainwash agents and minions into drooling useless idiots.

Same with 1:25 to 1:27, 1:36 to 1:38 (Although they come together and then apart), Then 1:40 to 1:44 starts with something that mirrors the magazine, then does it on the opposite side... There are SO MANY DETAILS. I love the very evident level of work you put into these, because it just shows how into your work you are, and I love it. ...also, I won't lie, I can't get "You secretly live below my laser-mounted space station / You may nee to think it over but if I get bored of waiting / I'll be beaming tic-tac-toe between the borders of your nations". Especially the last part of it - something about the way you say it is just SO catchy. I love it.

Stupes, I can tell you had a lot of fun with this one! It's awesome that you got the chance to do your dream project, and I'd say it's an astounding hit! Your lyricism is on point, as usual, and I love how the set and costume design merges so well with the retro '60s feel of EG2. It's also cool to get a bit of context as to why you like villain songs and playing antagonistic roles so much! It's something you legitimately do very very well, as many people other than me have pointed out. I'd also like to note that I'm definitely writing and posting this comment of my own volition, and not because a team of minions went to my house and said they'd throw me in with the laser dolphins if I didn't say something nice about this song.
