Every morning you promise to get a better computer so you can turn the graphics in the captain's quarters to high quality

Every morning you wonder how you got to a station after logging off in a safe

You can never locate your corpse collection (even though you got an industrial size walk-in freezer)

When you look at an actual freighter and wonder why it's not using its Jump Drive.

When you mount a laser dot to your paintball/airsoft gun and think "Ha! Target painter!"

When you watch Animal Rescue and they use nets to catch the uncontrollable animals, you think "Webified!"

When you're overly concerned with the level of insurance for your car/bike/whatever ("Mmm, can I afford Platinum?")

When you're looking at a Boeing 747 and imagine a Rifter next to it to see which is bigger.

If you're an archeologist digging in the deserts, you keep wondering to yourself how many more cycles until you get to that loot.

When after you finish doing something somewhere in the other side of town your first tought it's. Ok let's clone jump back home (guilty)

When crawling a pub on weekend nights you go to *Tackle* a girl/group of girls for your friends (guilty)

When everytime you see someone handing papers on street as business promotions you think of them as spammers.

When you heard ppl talk about your country politics or a company directors your 1st tought it's they are noobs i know worse ones (guilty)


P.S: i do not have a proper EVE time on my phone but a Reikjavik one so i may consider myself guilty on that one

I never heard of this guy until recently. Now every time I hear his name, I think he must have a good shield tank. I basically cannot hear the name without thinking of the ship.

Similar to this one.

When you read a book or watch a movie/TV show and a character says "Fly safe" you go "Heh, EVE"

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Some of this sounds more like ptsd. Yeah, we play this game way too much. But, is that really a good thing or a bad thing? Maybe a little of both?

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

This has made me refrain from fullscreen quite often, especially when it looks like the video was captured in the same resolution as me.

When you think of your short boss moving about amongst the cubes at work as 'cloaked.'


Also when you try and set up an intel channel with your coworkers so you can alert each other when the boss is prowling the office.

Back when I was a submariner, we did precisely that - When the skipper came aft through the tunnel, the Aux Machinery Room watchstander woud grab the phones can mutter 'charlie oscar aft.' That geve the guys in Maneuvering just enough time to get their feet down off the console rails before he reached 'em.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

You read the forums before checking RL email.

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

You consider Iceland to be a viable vacation destination

You spent $250 on a Playstation 3 just so you can play DUST (Planning on it)

I always call my email, evemail even in client meetings.

You go o/ in the chat window to the guy who posses your computer from IT

When your wife refers to EVE as "that stupid game". (Ex Wife)

When your wife starts knowing the names of the pilots in your Alliance and asks how they are doing.


Is it bad that all of these are actually true for me?

You call your corp ceo on the phone if you get wardec'd

All your corpies are on FB with you
