EVE & your girlfriend

Sometimes I like to throw stealth EVE puns to my GF. She knows I play this internet spaceship RPG (and has played some RPG's in the past, but never any MMORPG) but more likely won't notice. It's kind of a personal enjoyment.

Like, we're walking late on a suburban street and she comments about how it can be dangerous when at night, and I answer "Yes, this is pretty low-sec".
Or, as when she leaves she has a habit of saying "I'm flying" when she's in a hurry, I respond "Fly safe!"

So, how does your EVE career mix with your sentimental life and vice versa?

Need more well-formatted linking.

Me and my dear Eve have a deep mutual understanding - she let's me play with her as long as I like and I pay her masters monthly tribute with fake currency. Total WIN-WIN situation if you ask me.

Wife doesn't seem to even notice or care what I play or how much I play, as long as it doesn't cut into the "us time". Then again, I've been very light on EVE time lately (also on any other non-casual game times too).
Also, all my EVE-related lines are in English, a language I almost never use with her, so they almost never come up.
Weird how speech patterns/habits change when you change the language you speak in whenever you're familiar with several... hmm...

Yeah, regarding language, I forgot to mention that I usually translate lines into my mother language. They don't sound as effective but it's stealthier that way. Just so she doesn't think I'm some kind of freak. . =P

True that.. for people who don't understand the beauty of a game and can't accept their significant other is a bit of a nerd ;) ..also hosting an internet spaceship celebrity in my thread :D

I had a girlfriend once but I had to let her go when she gave me an ultimatum. I probably would've dumped her anyway because I don't respond well to ultimatums, but it was a fairly easy choice when she presented me with, "It's either me or that stupid spaceship game you play".

I was given that ultimatum once. Nasty situation to wiggle out of, but I made it.

Her 21-day free trial begins after midterms. Twisted

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

My GF is fine about EVE and some other games i play. We're together for about a year now and we have a good relationships.

Although my game is different than yours.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?
