See when I say realism it usually goes a little like this.

"Well that's not very realistic . . . well you know what I mean . . . realistic in a fictional kinda way . . . ok I'll shut up now . . ."

What part of my army of dinosaurs with swords fighting your army of reanimated corpses doesn't seem real to you?

I hate when people use that as argument for a rule, also I hate when people "that's overpowered" as a argument for a rule or an excuse for losing.

When my freind tells me my deffkoptas are not actually flying.

Its in the air! its not flying, but its in the air!

"Guys, want to hear about the cheesiest list I can build? It's so cheesey and awesome!"

Every damn codex release I hear that from multiple sources. I don't want to hear about your theoretical lists if there is 0 chance that you'll actually buy the models and run said list!

Whoah buddy, come down of the horse.
What is it with people getting so upset with this?

They /ARE/ toys.

toy

–noun
1.
an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything.


You are playing with toys.

The correct response is,

"I had a great day playing with my toys thanks, what did you get up to today?" And be glad you have a nice girl who is caring enough to enquire about how your day was.

Because then it makes it hard to impossible to justify to anyone including ourselves how expensive these toys are.

Can't say i find that to be true at all. I don't feel any need to justify it at all.

I enjoy using them, compared to other forms of entertainment like movies, or seeing a baseball game hour for hour they are comparivley well priced.

I enjoy painting and playing with my toys

Its not true to everyone no. only to some. It was a common conversation i always have with the adults in my FLGS

I guess being nearly 30 means I dont have to deal with people assumptions about my hobbies, anymore.

I apologize I do feel bad for that.

____________________________________________

I have to say that sometimes it pains me to look at the models, or toys , that I have amassed. I have blown a pretty decent amount of cash on the hobby, and a lot of it is still waiting to be painted!

Still, it makes me happy to play and even happier to win. That's really all the justification I need.

Fixed that for you

You were concise and respectful about it, if you're wondering I was actually referring to someone from the northridge shop I didn't mean you lol.

That kid must be really tall for his age then . The tables are kind of high to lay elbow on i think?

These tables are kinda short. The guy was playing a game, and set his piece off to the side, and some kid put his elbow on it to help him see or something.

Same.
It was at a GW store, which is where I play most of my games. I never saw it happen, but the red shirt mentioned it during an academy game, and I was antsy about my units the rest of the day.

QFT

Once, when I was at a GW store, I was playing some game against some 8 year old, whom was using the store's Ultrasmurf army, but, he had attached the sticky drinking straw he had just used to consume a can of red bull (don't ask me how he got it) to the front of a rhino and was calling it a 'Super-boom Cannon' or something similar.
Anyways, this kid was seriously upped, and keep saying his rhino had said huge gun and that whatever it was pointed at, the whole squad would die instantly.

Upon both mine and a Red Shirt's intervention, one, about how such a thing was rediculous and two, taping straws covered in gak to the store's surprisingly well painted vehichles was a big no-no, he chucked a tantrum, picked up 'his' rhino, and ditched it at the ground as hard as possible.

He was booted out of the store promptly.

That is why there should be a strict 13+ limit to going in GWS.

That is why I have a strict "Don't go to GW except on weekdays before 3 o'clock" rule. =D
