You do realize that guy is a wife beater. Shocked


Do you have any links or other general proof of this claim? I've been googling for about 10 minutes and, besides him marrying someone 27 years his junior, I'm not finding anything so scandalous.

Implying anyone who plays Eve has a girlfriend.


I have a wife...main reason we get along is she watches her shite on the tv...I fly around in a spaceshipo blowing stuff up


I lolled, this is exactly how me and my wife are.. I hate her TV crap, she says, go play Eve = win.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

how do you suppose you hide a dual screen display with huge warships when your living together in an appartement?



Use the same alt+tab trick you use to hide pron, duh.

that said, I do like it that you let your girlfriend's play with the character creator and that they enjoyed it! I just don't get bored of playing around with it Smile



It's so damned good! I can't keep from tweaking stuff. Stuff that's so subtle that when I've spent 3 hours on her and my friends can't tell the difference.


your character also looks really nice Smile

LOL I still remember the 'conversation' trying to explain what internet spaceships was and how important it is, she was not amused... however over time she came to accept it since if I am on internet spaceships I am not with other chicks.

Anyway I also managed to train her to change my skills, all started when my computer broke and I installed eve on her laptop... in the end she even asked me "do you need me to change your skill for you".

Just saying eve & girls can work,
you just got to play it right.

My fiancee tried the trial at one point (I think it was right after Incarna) and she did like the character creator, but she thought the whole vibe of the game was too dark, especially the world. She likes colorful ****, like HelloKitty.

At least she would never unplug my computer during a fight or biomass my characters. Still, she knows the password to my email account, but I would never tell her my EVE password... Women are crazy creatures, you can never really know what to expect.

For those who say girls don't play EVE....

I'm someone's girlfriend in real life. Well, I'm a dude though.





Also, my avatar looks almost exactly like I do IRL.

Well, your Gf is nicer than mine.

When i was playing EVE (fightig a dessy in a wh with an ishtar), and she wanted to go out to eat, she simply pulled the plug of the computer. Her way to tell me that it´s time to go. Needless to say that i lost an ishtar to a catalyst. At this time i wanted to poison her food in the restaurant.

True story, bro.


I seriously hope you dumped her. That crap isn't acceptable in any way, shape, or form, nor is it funny. Internet spaceships or not, it's childish and rude. I'd not trust someone like that not to pull the same stunt with something like, say, a drill press...

I think the general moral of this story is don't date people who don't accept your interests. If i pulled the plug on my g/f she'd kick my ass
