yea since screened in porches are some huge luxury.
 
I have to like more of Squeeks posts then. The thought of a tiny hamster walking into a war, a death match, and politely asking to join sounds amusing.
she has me as back up... no one ****s with the hamster.
 
Well my mom is suffering from kidney failure as of now. I moved farther away so I couldn't visit her as often and now her health has worsen.
Sorry to hear that. I hope it goes as well as possible and make the most of the time when you do get to see her.
 
I'm not even close to that. :p

I'll help with that. :hehe:

And only as of the time and date of Libido's post, which means @Spider-Aziz can no longer participate in any Hype events ever again. :yay:

As for @KRYPTON INC. I think we should go for the tag team belt. :cool:

Okay gamer Hypesters... What's the deal with the actual cost of gaming? Most know around here that I am an out of touch old man with the gaming world but it's come to my attention that there is a game called STAR CITIZEN that's not even out yet but people are already buying in game items including ships for the game... And they can cost up and over $1,000? Is this a thing now?

Is that one of those eccentric special editions? Or perhaps some of those lame and messy cases of micro transactions that most gamers hate?
The common thing is not this awfully expensive though.

Latest 'Star Citizen' ship pack costs as much as a car

Just how committed are you to the perpetually unfinished Star Citizen? Committed enough that you'd be willing to take out a loan? If so, you're in luck. Cloud Imperium has introduced a Legatus Pack that gives you 117 ships and 163 extras for $27,000 -- you need to have spent over $1,000 on game content before you can even see the product page (without talking to customer service, at least). Unless you're buying this for a team, this is the kind of purchase you usually only make if you're either filthy rich or need an outlet for your mid-life crisi

Star studded trailer though.

Yeeesh, that's beyond me. I buy $60 PS4 games a couple times a year and that's it, lol.
 
I'm trying to remember the name, but there was another space strategy game like that. You could own fleets, have market place economies, and such. People were selling their accounts for insane prices.
 
Sheesh, looked it up. Was talking about EVE online, but there's one that one ups it, by a million...literally.

5 Online Games That Players Invest Heavily On Virtual Items

1. Entropia Universe
Entropia is an enigma in the gaming world. Players, rich players, spend a few hundred thousand dollars for virtual items in the game. This isn’t even an exaggeration. Some players even spend millions for their own virtual planet.

A few of the items, aside from the two listed above, that have sold for massive amounts in Entropia Universe, include:

  • $150,000 for Monria
  • $99,000 for a banking license
Just check out these figures.

We’re talking massive money for these in-game items or worlds. The funny part is that many buyers are groups of investors.

But nothing beats the sale of Planet Calypso in 2011. The entire virtual planet sold for $6 million USD.

And the most expensive items everinclude $330,000 for the Crystal Palace in Entropia Universe as well as $635,000 for Club Neverdie in Entropia Universe.

I guess you haven't lived until you spent 6 million on your own virtual planet...That's for a game called Entropia Universe (if you didn't read the quote).

Next is info on EVE online. One battle cost those involved $600,000 in losses...One battle! I saw a YouTube video on that battle (not into the game, but a $600k battle is ridiculous). Apparently it was the start of an accidental war neither side was prepared for, and lots of ships were lost.

2. Eve Online
Eve Online is an epic space, enthralling game. For whatever reason, it seems that space-related games attract money like you wouldn’t believe. If you thought that dying and having to run back to your character in World of Warcraft was a bummer, try engaging in an epic space battle in Eve Online.

One such battle took place that resulted in the loss of $300,000 – $500,000, according to estimates.

The biggest casualties in the battle were “Titan” space-ships that have an asking price of $3,000 – $3,500 each.
 
Might count as an investment compared to buying an old cheap comic with this price.
