How is either one of those going to help you win the game?

Wife-ful justification. "Honey, see, *this* is a REAL gun. Just look at this foolish Chinaman who spent WAY more money on a FAKE weapon".

Ludicrous gibs FTW!

Whatever makes you happy

The Stealth Hippopotamus: yeah but what's the resell value on that? IF the game is a big hit and after he gets bored with it he will have a nice little pay day.

There's probably no resale value. It'd surely be bind on pickup/soulbound.

Not that great, really.

What the ... What?

And just wait until a nasty computer virus or rootkit destroys that expensive sword of his....

I dunno, if I could blow that kind of cash, I would just to say that I could.

The scariest part for me is I own an knitted afghan almost exactly the same pattern and colors as the sitting dude. Had it since I was 5. it's 38 years old and still as bright as the thing the guy in the add is wearing.

"hiding the dragon"

My new euphemism for 2012.

I own a knitted afghan... fixed that for me.

It's all bullshiat to drum up interest in the game.

Well, that's communism for ya...

you have 16k and you are forever alone...

you have your choice between 3 real dolls, or a virtual item that you can use for 20 levels before you find a drop that is way better...

YOU DECIDE!

never bring a virtual sword to a virtual gun fight.

I really WANT!!!an aa12 !

RexTalionis: Just for the sake of context, $16,000 is more money than the average person makes in China in a year. I'm guessing this guy is either the kid of an industrialist or banker or the kid of a princeling.

He does have that typical, inbred, downs-syndrome, pixie, raised in The Hamptons look about him.

I think it's going to Subby for caring enough about what another guy spends 16k on.

meat0918: Have "It's made available by the devs" Pay-To-Win MMO games really taken off in America yet like they have elsewhere?

I am obviously not including gold buying in WoW, or any Farmville-type games.

I mean like it's free, but if you want to actually beat Uber Boss X or Superduper Player Z, you'll have to pony up some cash. Sure, there is an item that will make you just as powerful with a 1/1,000,000 chance of dropping, but wouldn't you rather just spend $1.00 to buy that item instead? I mean, that's what Superduper Player Z did.

I got an un-IDed eth BOTD for ya! Reaaaaal cheap!

The scheme is called free to play (as opposed to pay to play), and yes, it's taken off quite huge. City of Heros/Villians, DC Universe online, Lord of the rings online...uh, that shooter MMO thing that just got re-released....D&D online, and more, all use it. And at least for LOTRO and DCUO, the games went from 'we're turning them off next week' levels of fail to super mega employee of the year levels of income generation.

It's so noticable that most games are planning a transition of some type to, if not flat out pay to win type scenarios, pay to have a better 'standard of living' type scenario (on top of a monthly fee). WoW in fact does this already, with purchasable BOA items, like the flying unicorn mount, barbershop stuff, etc. It's DLC for an MMO without even needing to fake an Expac for more cash.

But if level quickly enough, all the naked half-elf wenches will throw themselves at me. Two birds with one stone.

More games should have the ability to turn "gibs" up to the max.

Gee, and I thought my Corsair H40 liquid cooling system was a little overboard...

Meh, got a Saiga and big magazines. Close enough.
PS90 Is great, as is the 5.7... sadly I have to buy doubles since my wife claimed my 5.7 on the grounds of "Haha I'm a better shot with it.."

Well somebody had to take Kim Jong ils place atop the list.

so ronery.

There's a lot of browser games where you won't get anywhere near the top players without dropping some $$ here and there. Or 3 months rent.
