[…] 21, 2010 Number 51 pretty much sums it up for […]
Nice! Number 51 is my workstation, pretty much. Also, most days, 41, too.
Great job!
This is one of the most funniest joke I’ve ever read . Keep it up
Can I copy it for my facebook?
course
Hardy har. I greatly enjoyed this list. That should probably be #52.
[…] No, not me. I wish I had that problem these days! But miningzen over at K162space has a great list titled “You may play too much Eve […]
#52. You yell at your 3-year-old child, “Fail fit,” when they put their shoes on wrong.
#53. You tell a new coworker to htfu.
Will not admit how much of this list I resemble…
ROFL Fail fit the 3yr old’s shoes. Ebil!
Awesome! Good grief I laughed so hard wet stuff leaked from my eyes… it was kinda scary.
You align to fire exits, in case of an emergency.
Miningzen, I love to read your blog! Funny as hell! Great list. I’ll be quoting you frequently methinks.
Fly safe and have fun. o7

Hahahaha absolutely beautiful. I think I might actually change my alarm to the hull damage notification cause that sure as hell will get me up better than my current alarm 😛
Awesome list. One more:
You see a traffic jam up ahead while driving and your first thought is, “Jita!!”
#51 … Oh yes .. Spread across two monitors, subtle colour fills highlighting trade options and production bottlenecks.
Oh thought of one: You ask your buddy who’s goin to the bar if he’s solo roaming or if you can join him.
[…] much Eve if: Categories: random | 0 comments Firstly let me say the source of this list is from K162space, its comedy on so many […]
haavoc… the target locking and the hull warning sounds….you must give them to me.
52. You attempt to keep your transversal up in an actual gunfight.
:O You copied my idea!:

Ok, so it’s not exactly a very original idea, you probably never even heard of my blog before, yours is better, bigger (!) and much funnier, and this is a pretty shameless plug, but hey!
^_^
I’m especially guilty of #51. 23/47 is actually an awsome idea, like Random Guy sai, it would def get me up in the morning! (Think the wormhole activation sound would wrok better actually, that always scares the **** out of me!)
ahh yes, those damn Eve/acid trip dreams…
My personal least favorite where warping around a WH system in a myrmidon degraded into some sort of sims online nightmare. There may or may not have been a night elf involved.
pro list is pro.
I’m ashamed to admit this happened to me… I had played eve so much I jumped out of my sleep when my younger brother left the house cause I thought he had just jumped into low sec space and might be gate camped.
Same day I jolted up from a nap thinking I better be careful because I might be suicide ganked….
