OH OH OH I KNOW THIS ONE!

The woman replied to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the other trees of the garden. It is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said: `You shall not eat of it or touch it, lest you die.'" And the serpent said to the woman, "You are not going to die, but God knows that as soon as you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like divine beings who know good and bad." When the woman saw that the tree was good for eating and a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a source of wisdom, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they perceived that they were naked; and they sewed together fig leaves and made themselves loincloths. They heard the sound of the Lord God moving about in the garden at the breezy time of day; and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. The Lord God called out to the man and said to him, "Where are you?" He replied, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid." Then he asked, "Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat of the tree fron which I had forbidden you to eat?" The man said, "The woman You put at my side--she gave me of the tree, and I ate." And the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done!" The woman replied, "The serpent duped me, and I ate." The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you did this, More cursed shall you be Than all cattle And all the wild beasts: On your belly shall you crawl And dirt shall you eat All the days of your life. 15. I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your offspring and hers; They shall strike at your head, And you shall strike their heel." And to the woman He said, "I will make most severe Your pangs in childbearing; In pain shall you bear children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you." To Adam He said, "Because you did as your wife said and ate of the tree about which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' Cursed be the ground because of you; By toil shall you eat of it All the days of your life. Thorns and thistles will rise up before you, and you will eat the grass of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread until you return to the earth, from which you were taken, because earth you are and to earth you shall return." And Adam called the name of his wife "EVE," because she is the mother of all living. And the Lord God made garments of skins for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. And the Lord God said, "Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and bad, what if he should stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever!" So the Lord God banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he was taken. He drove the man out, and stationed east of the garden of Eden the cherubim and the fiery ever-turning sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

That EVE?

You sir, suck at life.

Infernus · 2004-08-10, 11:35 AM

Eh... I'm at work, I'm bored enough to do shit like that... as to EVE: I like the game, theres hundreds of options on how you can do anything. Wanna make money: Mine rare ore, kill that pirate, collect the bounty on that player's head. Wanna explore: Hop into your frigate and take a pop by the EVE gate, its a nice place if you stay clear of the storms. Wanna be a power monger: gather some of the leadership skills and take charge of a corperation, who knows... maybe you'll eventually move into an alliance. As for ships there are many ships to choose from; Character uniqueness is another thing, no two character's will be EXACTLY alike...

It sounds like SWG, but in space.

Okay, it must suck.

Sobekus isn't on ignore, his descriptions are too short.

Earth and Beyond?

_-Gunslinger-_ · 2004-08-10, 03:07 PM

Ya that game. Hey question for anyone whos got eve. Is there a way to make it go fullscreen? Or do I just have to adjust my desktop res to 1024x768? Sigh I would hope it could support full screen...

Infernus · 2004-08-10, 03:12 PM

press Esc > Video Options > Click 'fullscreen' box

I play windowed until I get my new moniter... easy switching between IRC and the game...

Lartnev · 2004-08-10, 03:50 PM

_-Gunslinger-_ · 2004-08-11, 03:16 AM

Wait alt-enter fullscreens anything? ... OMFG it does?!? I thought that only worked on my high-res pr0n!!11one+two

Heavygain · 2004-08-11, 03:30 AM

ok, i have been thinking on this thread for awhile and heres what i got. It is the best ANYONE can do for an explination

no need for mining if you have friends...... there is no grinding in this game.... well for skills... skills are obtained through time... grinding comes in for money making... mining is probaly the safest if your doing it in high protected areas....... killing ...players or npc's...... pvp system = unconsentual... you can kill anywhere... (YAAR!!) just watch out for the cops.... npc's have bounties on their heads its actually how we tell difficulty of them........ money is the only grinding..... for skills.. skills make you better at using your equipment... like missiles lasers or projectiles.... (many more skills).. if you suscribe go into the channel named "PSU".. all of us are in that channel if we are on.... i dont got time to explain more and that prolly wont make sense..
