The funny thing about EVE is that is has so much downtime between things or that the things you are not entertaining enough (ie mining and gatecamping) that you find yourself playing other games while playing EVE.

"Yo dawg. I thought you like to play a game while playing a game."

So with that said I decided to start a list of games that I play while playing EVE:

1. World of Tanks (I think this is what everyone plays these days).
2. Minecraft (bonus if you mine in Minecraft while mining in EVE)
3. Pokemon (i May be alone in this, but I'm a very ADD child who likes to grind Pokemon levels while mining)
4. World of Warcraft (I don't play this but I know people who do while waiting for fleet action in Null)
5. FTL (nothing says fun like playing a space game while playing a space game)

Please add to the list your favorite games to play while playing EVE.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

FTL is awesome, but my comp doesn't let me run it alongside EVE, tragically.

I mostly play EVE Poker on an alt.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

I forgot about EVE poker. I play that when I have too much money and want to get rid of a few zeros.

I've been known to play lemmings while mining, works in the IGB so don't even need to tab out.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It is, in fact, an excellent way to lighten the old wallet. I suspect if I were to count it, probably about a third of my expenses are gambling.

Games I play while not playing EVE:

Scrolls, SWTOR, AoE classic, HoN, Don't Starve. (And bridge, I think you mean 'video games' though.)

I've been on a scrolls kick lately, but my growth + potion deck sucks (maybe a (mostly) all-growth deck is always gonna suck.)

While not logged on EVE, I've still been playing SWTOR. I'm going through a long skills training period.... I'm training up the level V's in my skills portfolio....

Civilization V - it is turn based, so you can put it down really easy when the titan bridge goes up.

Heh... believe it or not, I'm mostly playing games from the stone age of PCs. Like the original Master of Orion, Dungeon Keeper, the original Sid Meiers' Colonization. Courtesy of the GOG site that (legally) sells them in a form modern PCs can handle for like 5 dollars each. Looking forward to the revamped Blade of Destiny series (Die Schicksalsklinge)... and otherwise, I watch lots and lots of anime.

My TV is my primary PC monitor and is used for my PS3. If I'm doing something like mining or making a long trip, I just put Eve in the second monitor and play PS3 in the primary. Usually nothing online, so I can just easily pause if I need to do anything in Eve.
Lately it's mostly sports games, MLB 2k13 and Fight Night Champions, with a bit of XCom mixed in.
