Ways to Play Games and Make money?


I've been looking around Ebay randomly for the last little while.. yep I'm bored.. Anyway i found this......

Is it just me or is this alittle lnsain? Who would pay £150 for a computer game account?

I wonder if it would be posble to make money of something like this and give up my day job.....

Oddly enough, there are no bids!


It's all just so pouintless.  Anyone who buys this is a sad, sad individual.  Computer games exist for one reason and one alone - to have fun playing them.  By buying an account where you don't have to play the game, you acheive... what, exactly?


Clearly, however the guy selling the account had too much time on his hands with all those high level characters.  Maybe he's selling it so that he can afford a life!

The funny thing is that its the starting bid as well. He actually expects people to bid it up higher

Well, it has 5 days to go.  I feel that it's important to revisit this auction in 5 days to see what the outcome was.  We can either point and laugh because he didn't sell it for that silly, silly price or we can point and laugh because someone spent silly money on something utterly utterly pointless!


Beware the pointing and the laughing!

Well at least we get to laugh at someone.

yup, very sad.


Is being world champion at Counter Strike or Warcraft III any better?


I think so, but only just.


I was the MarioKart (SNES version) champion of my student house. That earned me great kudos, but no hard cash.

That was the best game! I was quite the MarioKart (SNES) champ myself. Never had much use for the sequel on N64 though

Sadly, I never had a SNES.  Mariokart 64, however was great as was the Gamecube sequel, Double Dash.  I was never particularly good at 'em, mind!
