Hullo, i was on a bus today and i noticed a familiar name come into view.

Have you other peeps seen other things that made you think of EVE?

All the lawyer billboards lining the streets here in Florida remind me of Jita Spam.

There are lots of runners in this city. Then I saw this on one of the cars. Instead of running, the first thing I thought was that this guy lives in null. Lol

I found something on my bosses desk the other day which was headed "PVP Notification" - I was going to take a picture but I chickened out!

Also - the lift in our training centre has a digital display that reads "GF" in 6 inch high letters. Depending how a training course went, I will silently agree with it in my head, or disagree by thinking "yeah if you think being blobbed is a good fight."

Aaaaaaand relax.

Somehow exiting the parking lot at the train station always reminds me of low sec PVP. It's a mad house, you have to scan in eight directions and pilot your ship just right to win and get through the gate.

The PVC pipe aisle at Home Depot always makes me think "PVE" or "PVP." Momentary confusion sorting through three acronyms.

Also NHL hockey makes me think of low sec small gang PVP, for some reason. They're not very similar, and I can't place why my brain makes that association. Brains are funny things.

Well, until Internet Spaceships came along, most small gangs used to go around clubbing people with sticks in various ways. See the first scene of "A Clockwork Orange".

There is a shopping mall, in the 10th district of Vienna Austria, with a HUGE stylised window construction on the front of it.
The thing is it looks exactly like the old pods we used to have.
It is called "Columbus Center ".
If I can find it I will edit a link to the photo.

Whenever I ask something more experienced faculty members I feel like I see some newbie asking our great community sth on the forums Twisted

And

class management is like trying to teach somebody the basics of pvp by writing in Jita local.

Also since mainly living in w-space, locking the door is like collapsing statics for safety.
