you need another hobby mate maybe on the lines of burning all your toys to start off with
so i told him:
yeah but in a couple years time these will be worth more than PS3 on launch day. Its called investment dude (i know i know, i don't collect because of financial gain)
Ok a checklist of things i like that transformers delivers:
Giant robots/mechs: check
Cars/vehicles/architecture: check
Ninja ability to become something else: check
Broad range of characters and personalities: check
Happy childhood memories: check
I'd say that logically, i should like transformers
besides i'd much rather go around burning Xbox 360s (he likes Xbox 360)
unfortunately after that i got a message from my other mate telling me that he had fallen down some stairs at work and broken his ankle... divine retribution for being an ass? maybe.
No one has ever critisised my hobby before (possibly because i'm a 6 foot tall martial artist) but i understand why people get angry about it because they treat you like a child, like they are better than you. But i think its a psychological game where they are not happy with themselves so they need to find "faults" in others.
I'll just keep on doing what i like doing.
