Get the Deepwater Horizon oil spill mug.Used in Role-playing videogames to reference the point at which the game becomes easy to play based on the character's experience and strength.
In such games, one gains gold by fighting monsters, performing tasks, and occasionally by randomly foraging in the world. The gold is then used to purchase armor, weaponry and training, making it easier to fight larger monsters, who hold more gold, and so on.
Every game has a point where one has gained so much gold from one's adventures that one can afford any item in the game, making the character exceedingly strong, and rendering all opponents ineffectual. This point is the cash Event Horizon. Usually, the later in the game this point appears, the more challenging the game is.

The Cash Event Horizon of "Beet Farming Tycoon" is real low - after five hours of play you've got so much money you don't know what to do with it.

Get the Laundry Event Horizon mug.A shity UK Deathcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. The band lineup consists of Oliver Sykes (The shity Vocals), Lee Malia and Curtis Ward (who sucks at Guitars), Matt Keane (an awful Bassist) and Matt Nichols (Drums, don't even talk about him). Their 2005 demo "This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For" helped to destroy Extreme Metalcore and Deathcore in the UK. Metal publications have largely hated their technical ability; Metal Hammer magazine claimed that it had "more awful face-peeling riffs than every other band in the world". The band has toured extensively, only as support acts, as well as being kicked out of renound UK rock festival Download.
However, as a band who only profit from mainstream and modern musical mediums and marketing techniques - the use of social networking sites, coverage from mainstream rock publications - and their stupid teen look, they come under fire from real heavy metal fans who know that they're a band liked by those who want to appear more metal than they really are (known as "scene kids"). Despite the band's best efforts, this image has stuck; indeed, their crowds are notorious for a large absence of moshing, often ignoring frontman Oli Sykes begging them to do so. Also, as they play a derivative of metalcore, they have a very elitist sense of having "watered down" or boring version of standard Death Metal.
