Your 19 or 20 years old right now?

$180 a year times 55 which plus your age is the average life expectancy of a male = $9900. Not counting expansions, inflation, hardware maintenance, sustanance to keep you alive, and rising subscription costs as over the years a business who makes money would surely want more of it. 

Because enslaving the human race isn't enough if you can't grind them under your bootheel and rule them with an iron fist.  Tongue

i like the news threads, but i vote for making them cover a week rather than a new thread each day

Well the idea here is to test this out and see if it takes off, hopefully more people will contribute news stories, and in turn bring some interesting news and topics of discussion into the forum from all over the 'net.

Realistically with say an average of a dozen good news stories a day over the course of the week it'd be hard to pick and choose because obviously you can't have 100 stories in a news section, so we'd need to feel out a system of choosing what should and shouldn't be covered. For my part I'm just passing along things I personally find interesting or that I think others would find interesting, but everyone's opinion is different so the more news from more people the better.

Not really that expensive considering since I've started playing I haven't bought one other game.

It can also replace cable, movies, non-critical food, alcohol, drugs, and pretty much everything.

So pretty much, it's the cost of crack with the effects of heroin am I correct?
