Somewhat sobering article about a disillusioned collector

[Hobie-wan]

I don't 'watch TV' either. I have no cable and no aerial. The only thing my TV is used for is games and DVDs. Yes I have some TV box sets, but even those are mostly older British comedy.

I do watch some dvds etc, but I bet I have not seen a commercial in 3 or 4 years.

I would say I watch about 10 to 15 per cent of what the average person does.

When you say you don't watch tv, do you actually mean you don't watch any movies, tv shows, news, or documentaries?

I watch on average one or two DVDs a week, sometimes less. No news, no TV box sets or anything else. Most of the time my wife will put in a movie for bed and I will fall asleep to it. So I guess I can't say I never watch TV, but I meant that I don't watch in the way that most people watch TV.

i can understand his ways as i had the same with my World of Warcraft and Magic the Gathering "addictions"
but i started those as a "kid" and grew out of them, my game collection started when i was (officially) an adult and I think there is a difference there
I don't see myself selling or taking apart my carefully built collection (but one never knows..)
