In the United States, there was a time not long ago when everyone with an iPhone had unlimited data. It was actually a requirement with AT&T.

The Most Overpriced Products In Video Game History [MUO Gaming]

I think at this point, all gamers have accepted that playing and buying video games is an expensive hobby. Between the cost of games, consoles, and accessories, it's easy for a gamer to drop a large portion of their income on gaming. This is to be expected, as we are involved in a hobby that often uses the latest and greatest technology, which is bound to cost a pretty penny. In some cases, the cost of being a gamer gets a little crazy.

PicZoom Allows You To Make Fun Pictures With A Zoomed Emphasis [iOS, Free For A Limited Time]

One of my favorite memes online is the old "Soon" pictures. These are the ones where it zooms in on a person in the background making a devious face in the photo.

The subject doesn't always have to be in the background, but in my opinion, the "soon" memes that zoom are by far the funniest.

Over the history of video games, there have been more consoles than most people think. People think about the dominance of Sega and Nintendo in the prime of video games, and of course the Atari VCS (aka Atari 2600) before that. In the modern era, gamers think about Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo as the big three. Of course, this is true today, but back in the day, all kinds of odd systems hit the market, some of which were from the big companies.
