many (college) books are bought for $120, but resold for $80, so effectively, I payed for a $40 book.
I wish I went to your college. If my books cost $120, I was lucky to get $40 for it. A whole semester's worth of books (usually four or five) would get me less than $150.
Yeah because the Tonight Show doesn't cherry pick from the worst responses of the group.
You can get Team Fortress 2 for around $10 and the community is very active. I realize that this is NOT free, but it is very inexpensive. The cost to activity ratio is probably nearly as high as a free FPS because there are so many servers with lots of people playing on each.
I've played Combat Arms (which is actually free and has quite good gameplay), and I just can't stand the type of players that gravitate towards free. The chat rooms before the games are just filled with swearing and racial slurs. I see next to none of this in TF2, those kind of people usually get booted from the server by an admin.
