Paddlefoot Aeon Neogen Industries Serenity Fallen	Posted - 2006.12.21 18:14:00 - [5] I'm sitting at work and talking on the phone, and I realize that every time I go to say something, I hit my push to talk key. I also realize that I do this often, as my default key is the Caps Lock, and I've started far too many emails with a lowercase first letter and 2 or 4 words in caps... -----------------------------------------------

Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.12.22 04:03:00 - [12] Edited by: Sakura Nihil on 22/12/2006 04:03:10 Treated a daily walk home that's about a mile (or 1.5km :p) as I would a trip through lowsec or 0.0 . Haven't got pirated yet... Oh, and saying "YarrrrBQ" a lot - I chalk that one and its variants up to too much time in EVE.
Malicious Afterthought Suffoco Noctis Atrocitas	Posted - 2006.12.22 09:27:00 - [13] Originally by: Sakura Nihil Oh, and saying "YarrrrBQ" a lot - I chalk that one and its variants up to too much time in EVE. I was having dinner last night at a restaurant and my companion asked me what the sauce for the potato wedges were. I said "YarrrBQ" as well. But I think I got away with it.
hormonal babe	Posted - 2006.12.22 11:24:00 - [14] I'd be talking to someone about my husband who also plays eve, and i've called him by his in-game name, or even just talking to him directly - i use his in game name. I think the worst experience is waking from a dream that I lost my Hulk. LOL HB
Twilight Moon Minmatar Malicious Intentions	Posted - 2006.12.22 11:39:00 - [15] I started calling the housemate by his EVE-O name. Worse still, he doesn't even notice. (If you woke up breathing today, CONGRATULATIONS!, you get another chance!)

Twilight Moon Minmatar Malicious Intentions	Posted - 2006.12.22 12:01:00 - [17] Edited by: Twilight Moon on 22/12/2006 12:02:46 Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari Originally by: Twilight Moon I started calling the housemate by his EVE-O name. Worse still, he doesn't even notice. Okay now THAT goes beyond what I was going to post my "too much EVE" thing It gets better, he has three characters, and you can get away with using any of the character names. On the downside of course, when getting the weekly shopping done, he has called me Twilight in the supermarket. Checkout people think you're some sort of hippy if you've a name like that. (If you woke up breathing today, CONGRATULATIONS!, you get another chance!)
Mitten Caldari Gloves	Posted - 2006.12.22 12:11:00 - [18] Lot of the people I play regularly with we use rl first names when talking to eachother in game anyway so dont think i'd have that prob.

Being called Sakura in the middle of a crowded cafeteria was a bit embarassing . (if you're reading this don't kill me plz )
TheDeceit Minmatar Veto.	Posted - 2006.12.22 23:51:00 - [24] I kind of have an EVE story. One day, after we all smoked a little too much, we were drifting down a twisty road up in the hills somewhere when I thought out loud to myself "This is exactly like surfing in EVE!" About five minutes later I realized that EVE doesn't have surfing. --------
Theonlystd Caldari Fly-By-Night Enterprises Brotherhood Of Steel	Posted - 2006.12.23 04:35:00 - [25] This isnt to much Eve as much as its to much Gaming in General. I have the habbit of slipping into 3rd person.. And have referred to myself as Std a few times that gets some very wierd looks. Or when someone asks meh my name I start Theonly and usually catch myself before the end..

Chronus26 Gallente Dark Blood Contracts	Posted - 2006.12.28 21:31:00 - [28] I have a friend (well a friend of my brother's who plays eve) once while talking to my brother about him I couldn't for the life of me remember his real name. He's just 'Cairo' to me and always will be. I also assume that people look like there in game characters IRL. Once I had a dream I pirated a ship and it had a Crusader BPO along with 3 Macharial BPCs inside it. I was making plans for my new-found riches in the dream when I woke up and couldn't figure out if it was a dream or had happened the day before. I had to go log in to Eve and check my hanger to figure it out in the end. (yes, it was a dream... unfortunately) -----

I had to go log in to Eve and check my hanger to figure it out in the end. (yes, it was a dream... unfortunately) I get that happening to me too fairly often on a semi-regular basis. I dream up something about EVE and can't tell the difference if it happened or not. It's always a bummer when you find out that it didn't. Like winning BPOs

dunston thorbald	Posted - 2006.12.29 03:49:00 - [36] When you spend all day at work looking at ship setups instead of doing any work, much like I have today
Lenoor Royal Hiigaran Navy Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.12.29 05:11:00 - [37] My friends back on post "require" me to call them by their EVE names in real life. Actually, one of them has his girlfriend call him Cow, which is his name on EVE. I get paid "Iskies" every two weeks, ask my buddies. And when I see the 5-0, I immediately think "CONCORD." ______________________/\|\_______________________ [12:34:56] Combat Notify that Uruz7<RHNVY> has pefectly hit ExWife(ArmaggedonPSA)<RHNVY>, wrecking for 2.5 kids. :)

Harris	Posted - 2006.12.29 10:09:00 - [40] Going on Holiday and seeing the greek airline "Helios" check-in desk. I had to fight the urge to find a tannoy and announce "cov-ops in system". Missus was wondering what the panic in my face was for. Always trying to 'invert selection' and 'select all' as well. Constantly try to rotate screen grabs for a better view.
Smagd Encina Technologies Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.12.29 12:29:00 - [41] Although this is not directly EVE related, here's one about character names / real life names from a couple years back when I was still living in student accomodations: This one lady from overseas bugs me about the phone number of a friend on a mutual online game, and I'm going, sorry, I don't just give out phone numbers to strangers. So she keeps bugging me for a while, and I finally give her my own number without saying so, figuring if she sounds sane on the phone I'll provide the real number. Anyway, a couple days after, it's 3 am, the phone rings me from peaceful slumber. While I'm firing up my english (I'm not a native speaker), we're trying to find out what's going on. I give her my real name, she gives me her real name, she asks for the real name of the guy, funny, there is no "Mickey" in the whole building, is she sure she's got the number right, and yes she is... I'd totally forgotten I'd given her my own number, and I knew neither her nor the friend's real name. Later that day when I finally woke up I connected the dots and sent her his number by email. And no, she wasn't a lunatic, and yes, he moved across the big pond and they married, but no, unfortunately it didn't last. Hi Mickey. -- Thukkers do

Natasha Kerensky The Company Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.12.30 08:33:00 - [46] In windows I quite frequently right click and look for the "Show Info" option. Sometimes "Sort by type" I should write Bill Gates and tell him to add those. I also was playing pool once, lining up a shot and heard the locking noise in my head
Fraszoid Caldari Intergalactic Mining	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:54:00 - [47] I was driving my van one evening in the rain wondering if I had enough cap to costantly run the lights, wipers, heater and radio.

toxic marc	Posted - 2006.12.30 16:40:00 - [48] following a course for power hydrualics, instructor gives me an assigment, to calculate some sort of metal crusher with some variables i need to keep in mind, 1 houre later i had 2 pages of possible setups for my thrasher plus skillpath that i need to follow to make it work, the guy sees the whole list and asks me, "what sort of valves are those 200mm AC's II ? don't think i know those"
Asimov Andies Gallente Red Blade Industries	Posted - 2006.12.31 20:52:00 - [49] Watching a show on the military channel, they mentioned tank and the first thing that poped into my mind was "of what damage type". I drove by a Big Rig truck and my friend asked "What do you think it would be like to drive one of those?" I responded "I drive an Iteron v not an Iteron III." His response "" -=##=- Why are they shooting at us Captain?
flaming phantom Tyrell Corp	Posted - 2006.12.31 23:12:00 - [50] Edited by: flaming phantom on 31/12/2006 23:13:15 Edited by: flaming phantom on 31/12/2006 23:13:00 i dont have any problems with mixing peoples names up or anything, but a lot of the times if im typing something in school i replace real word with slang, like ppl and wat and then i get horrible spelling grades something that happenes to me a lot though is when i hear a souned that sounds like an in-game sound affect it freaks me out. i will sometimes hear stuff that sounds close to a locking sound or something like that and i have a minature panic attack before i realize im not playing :-)

Teemu Rihianen Gallente DaHOOD Communication	Posted - 2007.01.02 01:54:00 - [52] I had problems with my car the other day and I caught myself thinking "I fracking hate Minmatar ships!" Doh! Just before the holidays I had a long day at school and all I wondered was that I couldn't make it back home in time for the Kernite to resprawn and how many ISK I would loose because of that And when doing Internetshopping i often find myself searching my desktop for the "market" shortcut I know, I've been hit badly

Benco97 Gallente Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2007.01.02 02:13:00 - [54] Happens a lot, it's scary. i'm always calling money "isk" and hearing the locking sound in my head. I think I should just embrace the madness to be honest, much easier than fighting it off, anyone know where I can get the locking sound as a ringtone? "MY GOD KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BENCO97!!!!!" - Constantine Arcanum
Indra Sebuchiore Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.01.02 13:41:00 - [55] Originally by: Benco97 Anyone know where I can get the locking sound as a ringtone?
