  1. EVE is not an acronym, so no punctuation.
  2. As you can see on the top left corner of the forum page, the V actually is bigger than the Es, so it makes no sense to use lower case.

Where it not for Eve undoing the years of stultifying jobs I had to suffer through I'd be like that angry uncle who's always saying "What is this I don't even..." whenever something happens that requires thinking.

It helped me learn a new word!!

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Yep. And, I've learned how to take notes better. Well, I take notes more often now, so that's always a plus I guess.

A lot more willing to do what I need to do to get my way. Take a lot less BS. But of course, one's naturally personality still stays mostly in tact.

I also constantly think of the "HOV" lane on the highways as a depiction of EVE in RL. These lanes allow cars with 2 or more occupants, which means they are less busy and typically are moving with speed even in traffic jams. You can get a pretty nifty ticket if you are caught as a lone driver, but only based on chance; if a cop happens to be trapping. It's risk/reward at it's finest.... you put yourself at increased risk (ticket) for an increased gain (saving time). EVE baby, yeah!

Hey guys.

It doesn't actually make sense for the V to be capitalised (Other than aesthetics) because it's the name of something (The Eve Gate).

Being stoned in EVE ONLINE is awesome ...
... and doing 30 jumps into a random direction ...
... in a battleship ...
... seems like a brilliant and fun idea ...



....... until the next day arrives.

It has helped me IRL by making me spend more time with people who can provide me the entertainment EVE so clearly lacks. Boring game is boring.

Suicide ganking has given me the confidence to go out and meet new people!

Remember that whenever you have a bad day in EVE, the correct reponse is "Thank you CCP, may I please have another?"

EVE ONLINE taught me that most people are mentally weak. :)

It's EVE not EvE or E.v.E. A small thing, but that drives me nuts.

Anyway, as others have mentioned: spreadsheets, patience, and getting good at ignoring people.

Besides using up all of my time and causing me to burn my bacon just now Shocked...
I figured out how to link data between Excel pages!
And I know how an economy works (Allowing me to see how deep in the hole the US is Sad)
And I found how douchy people can be IRL
