So I finally got around to playing Counter Strike: GO... How have I been missing out on this? Such a basic game, but it plays so damn good. I have a few games where I go HAM, but overall I can tell that I am the FNG around the maps.

Yeah, it's awesome. Jump into a comp lobby when you get comfortable. That shite gets intense.

That's all i've played is Comp. The one thing I don't like is how they nickel and dime you for skins for weapons. I'm not going to pay $2.50 for a key to unlock a box that may or may not have a cool looking weapon skin on it. It makes me angry

yeah, take it from me, don't get pulled into that. It's a hard road to come back from. \

The reason they're so tempting is because there's skins that are literally worth hundreds of dollars.

Yea, but how often do people buy them and how often are you able to pull one?

ETA: And what the hell makes a skin so special? Does it provide you with better accuracy, or incresed firepower? Or is it simply a cosmetic thing?

this.

Just the rarity of the skins. They add things like stattrak and skin condition(factory new, battlescarred and so on). Valve has given the community the power to create a free market and regulate the prices of the skins. It's an incredible smart way for them to make tons of money(people buying unlock keys)without it actually affecting the gameplay. I read that the odds of getting a knife are about 400 to 1. Knives average around $300.
reddit CS:GO trade sub

Steam CS:GO market place.

Also, you can buy keys off reddit for less than $2.

can unlock keys be gifted to people? Or are they available by purchase only?

I believe they can. They can also be traded using the steam trade platform.

well looks like I may have to pony up a few bucks to get at least a few keys to unlock some skins.

Pro teams play in different league ladders everyday and they're all live streamed. You can lay bets on teams using skins. Say NiP is playing NaVi or something. Navi is a 4:1 underdog and you put your skins on Navi, that means you're get your skins back plus skins that are worth 4 times what your were. It's craziness. It's just like sports betting.

I found a bunch or Pokemon and Yugioh cards in a house today. Worth anything? If not I am going to chunk them.

I also found a Wii, Xbox 360, some Beats by Dre and a few others misc things.
