Well, my dad is a model-train enthusiast, and he has tons of friends, but most of them react to any other subject (except maybe John Wayne movies, which they seem to love) as if I said "I'm going to go kidnap a baby and eat it alive". It's very annoying, because they always seem to expect me to know what the heck they're talking about (the only model-train term I know is "On30" and I don't even know what that is) but almost yell at me because I play games. Games don't consume my life like their hobby does. I mean, really, my dad spends about $2000 a year on model trains (and also golf clubs, because he's a golfer) while I spend a maximum of $180 a year on games. I have nothing against his hobbies, really, but he and his friends act like games are the devil (much like Jack Thomphson).
