GW, sneaky and mean
Spider inside my dreams
I think I love you
you make me wanna cry, you make me wanna die
I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you GW
Every night you come into my room
and pin me down with your strong arms
you pin me down and I try to fight you
you come inside me you fill me up and I become the GW
Just two men sharing the Game
It might seem wrong but it's just lame
It's just two men sharing each other
It's just two men like loving brothers
One on top, and one on bottom
One inside, and one is out
One is screaming he's so happy
The other's screaming a passionate shout
It's the GW The feeling so wrong it's right
the feeling so wrong...
I can't fight you
when you come inside me and pin me down your strong hands and I'll become the GW....the passionate, passionate GW.

Special unique snowflake of unique specialness (+1/+3versus werewolves)
Alternatively I'm a magical internet fairy.
Pho indignation *IS* the tastiest form of angry!
I do like the setup of the 40K, Fantasy and various specialty spinoff worlds.
I love the IP, the Black Library (especially since they removed the page limit on novels) the artwork, and the fluff.
I love at least 50% of the models out there, and appreciate at least 80%+ of them, and the consistent standard increase in the quality of the models, effects, details and materials.
I like the paint range, love the foundations and the washes.
I appreciate the modeling tools, and the greenstuff, and the fact they have a storefront presence out there that I can go to and get advice, not just some small interwebs storefront.
I like the fact that they are getting better at developing a range of IP across various media formats (games, and soon a movie of some kind).
I like the fact that as long as I'm not playing in a tournament with specific rules, I can take their lovely product, and using their groundwork create rules/scenarios etc to have an even more fun experience.
I like the fact that while their rules might not have all the vigor that everyone would like (including myself) it is still possible to have a vanilla game as a pickup against a large variety of other fans.

Fixed.
You know you're really doing something when you can make strangers hate you over the Internet. - Mauleed

Damnatus had nothing to do with GW, so not at all what I was referring to.
GW's first film was the short film Inquisitor.

1. The universe particularly 40k; probably my favorite scifi universe of all time
2. Models - no one else really compares to 'em imo 3. Undeniable impact in the global geek market, GW is the only big brand tabletop-mini company and has significant real estate and recognition across the world
4. Video games
5. Gateway to geek social life, met a lot of friends through GW game systems
6. GW Site - Has a bunch of hobby articles and inspirations like that Nid invasion against the Space Wolves
7. GW Games Days/tournaments/Vegas prize- I don't attend them but it looks good that they at least offer such events and now they're giving out a pretty good prize for the overall winner.
Hate:
1. My lack of $$$ and time
2. Lack of forum communication especially since their last forum was horrible
I'm over 18, so that's a No-Go in the Puritan States of America.
You lose out there, it's legal here. Well, not really lose out. I couldn't take more than five minutes of the unmitigated stream of turd that 17 year old girls speak, nothing quashes the libido like am X-factor or Twilight conversation. People always take it the wrong way when I suggest gagging them post coitus.
The GW "Hobby", as it were, is merely an attempt by the corporation to shut out all other miniature wargames. By calling it the "GW Hobby" just makes people believe that GW is all there is. Why does GW sell its own glue, its own dirt, spraypaint, and all that other crap? Because it doesn't want people to realize that there is anything better.
This is why I hate it when people call it the GW Hobby. It's just a miniature wargame hobby, not a GW hobby.
Well if we were talking about Flames of War, I would refer to it as the FoW Hobby, all semantics.
I am in the Plastics business and sell about 40 types of plastics glue, but I like the stuff GW sells. Then again I use the Woodland Scenics Flock as it isa hell of alot cheaper for a huge container.

Yeah, you'd call it the FoW Hobby, that makes sense.You wouldn't call it the "Battlefront Miniatures Hobby". See the difference there?

All Semantics. I say GW hobby because it is easier then saying the 40K/WHFB/LotR/BFG/Epic/Warmaster Hobby. Less letters saying GW Hobby. And a little more encompassing.

That's about it.
Yup,that about sums it up for me as well.
Although,I will add that I'm less than a "fan" of the current directions GW seems to be taking business wise,and of course I loathe Codex:CSM
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
I love getting to bi-atch about them on the Intenetz.
Seriously.
There's no other company I seem to care about to the same degree. Not even Coca-Cola. Somehow Gee-Dub just presses all my emote buttons simultaniously and thereby gives me a great way to fill in those empty hours between 9am and 5pm sitting at my desk in work bored rigid!
