when digital knives cost more than real ones...

[RedLynx]

I thought these virtual knives went into the low thousands: That is, in CONFIRMED actual prices for these: Like $900-1800... I'm not kidding... (Maybe they went to 8000, I don't remember). Some of the more expensive ones I saw (maybe because of the skin paint) were exactly identical to the REAL United Cutlery Karambit that I buy for $30 with the intent to only use the shoulder harness for my real dagger sheaths, chucking out the actual Karambit knife and its plastic sheath... (Not badly made in surface finish, just very dull and unsharpenable because of the concave edge: Probably well hardened and holds an edge well, but also likely untempered so very brittle, just like the low-end SOG crap stuff)

What really gets to me are not the prices, but the "unboxing" videos of these virtual knives, where the player films his own reaction to his apparent discovery of the virtual knife, or auction win, whatever.

There are even some compilations of these "reactions", with the "ten best knife box-opening reactions" on Youtube etc...

The reactions involve the longest and most bizarre orgasmic screams you could ever imagine a human uttering. When I came across those on Youtube, I thought they were among the strangest sights I had ever seen. Truly the absolute depths of strangeness...

There is a lot of weirdness going on in this world, and unlike the old days, people are not embarrassed at all to display it...

These videos sound amazing but if you want weirder than weird, check out the trailer reactions by a Welsh YouTuber as she watches Twilight trailers. I only wish I could remember the username, but you'll find it easily enough. Keep in mind it's Twilight. And trailers, not even the movie itself.
