Another videogame maths post, this time seeing how much it would cost for Heavy to fire the Minigun for various lengths of time.
Blah blah preamble woo let's get on with this!
Note: this post assumes that TF2's plot starts on Thursday October 10th, 1968 (since, other than the year, there's no canon date to when the mercs started doing their thing, so I might as well just use the day the game released; coincidentally, it's also the date that a law prohibiting purchase of firearms via mail-order and restricted over-the-counter sales was passed by the US House of Representatives). This will be important when we get to the "shooting until [significant date]" section of the post.
So first off, for those who don't know about TF2, the trailer/animated audition-read Meet The Heavy is mostly just Heavy bragging about his minigun; part of his description of it involves him stating that, as it fires $200 cartridges at a rate of $10,000 RPM, it therefore costs $400,000 to fire for 12 seconds, which - having done the maths - is correct (and also explains why he's so rich in that one Halloween comic; it's so he can pay to keep firing). That means that we can start working out the other times.
Now the fun part; how much would it cost if Heavy fired his minigun for the entire time between starting his mercenary career and various significant dates (not counting the end-dates)?
16th of July, 1969 (the Moon Landing): $803,520,000,000
1st of January, 1972 (the year when Mann Vs. Machine takes place): 339,264,000,000,000,000
12 of June, 1987 (release date of Predator): 19,638,720,000,000,000,000
22nd of June, 1996 (Quake's release date): 29,136,960,000,000,000,000
24th of August, 1996 (Valve's founding date): 29,318,400,000,000,000
1st of April, 1999 (TFC's release date): 3,214,080,000,000,000,000
22nd of April, 2002 (my birthday): 35,271,360,000,000,000,000
24th of May, 2016 (Overwatch's release date): 50,091,840,000,000,000,000
9th of May, 2023 (the day I'm posting this): 57,409,920,000,000,000,000
Anyway that's the post! Feel free to reblog with how much your dates would cost (remember; if there's an "e+N" thing, remove it, add however many zeroes N equals, delete the decimal point, and then go backwards from the last digit, add commas every 3)!
