I had a girlfriend that played that fish breeding game where you try to breed the magic fish or something. That was the first time I'd seen a game where events happened in real time. It sounds boring but it was really captivating.

I'm going to check out the EO trial after this weekend but honestly I probably won't subscribe because of other projects I need to complete. My goals with trying Eve are twofold: 1. play an mmorpg and see what the fuss is all about (I expect it to be pretty cool), and 2. virtually fulfill my unattainable real-life goal of floating around in space and gawking at the cosmos, kinda like the presence in Schismatrix.
