Eve is my most expensive in total spent at £240 but it's actually my cheapest game per hour. Most expensive game per hour would be Dark Messiah of Might and Magic which cost £30 and I didn't even get an hour out of it because of bad stuttering problems.

$210 Shirley?

I also make that $210, or about 7 million lira.

Also BEEF: $40

Alcohol Consumed whilst playing: $200 (conservative estimate)

That is a very good point. I must've drunk a small fortune playing CoH over the years.

EVE, something like £150-200 in subscriptions

It's relatively cheap on a per-hour basis compared to a lot of games I have though. There's plenty of games I've bought for a full £30-40 and only got an hour or two of enjoyment out of them, which makes them much less worth the money than eve

Domino's Pizzas with 2liter Cokes 3x/week for 5years...(artery clogging and heart palpations included) $7800.00

According to my calculations, Deject is using Base 4.017, although I think I failed half of them (since I seem to be getting the wrong result... I cannot be arsed to revise it), and you might have to bend some rules to use that like this.

Or you could just add stuff up, I find that method works quite well.

Admittedly my approach to numbers is somewhat caveman-like in its method, but I tend to find it works quite well.

Addition is boring. I like brain aids from complicated formulas.

Eve is my most expensive game.

My Amiga CD32 on the other hand is my most expensive computer based toy at roughly £20 for the console, then £50 for the extra 8mb SIMM and something like £180 for the rare and difficult to get a hold of expansion (SX-32 if you must know, unforntunatly I've not managed to get a SX-1 yet, which I want to drop a faster CPU in it, probably a '30).

I don't count the PC or parts for it as they're normally part of a planned upgrade anyway.

Stalker Clear Sky is currently clocking in at £3000/hour. It locks my PC solid after 30 seconds.
