    making money and playing games...

    I have a friend who bought diablo II and the expansion and makes around $400 a week selling items that he finds on it...

    it's simply spectacular the amount of idiots that will pay for a damn digital graphic that isn't worth anything...

    An old classmate of mine bought someone's
    Everquest character for about $200. What's the
    point of playing if you're just going to buy
    your way through the game?

    I agree, they are idiots.

    but, in america, we take advantage of the general stupidity of the populace in order to make an a-load of cash, and it works over-and-over-and-over-and-over-again.

    Check out EBAY and all the D&D stuff gamers are selling to
    other gamers--stuff like houses on islands, magic spells.
    Excuse me while I laugh.
