Actually, this reminds me of an odd obsession I did have, back when I was a Warhammer 40,000 player.

I was obsessed with building my own chapter. Of course, back then, you could actually buy enough models to build one, if you were determined. I'd hate to have the same obsession, now.

I know the feeling... :( But one day I will collect an fluff accurate Salamanders chapter! and then be foreclosed on, because I spent every last cent I owned to make it...

Personal armor, specifically Western Asian. I have little interest in cultures or time periods with little useful personal armor.

On the other hand, my chances as an American of having a Christian in power depriving me or others who I care for of their liberty are very, very high. I'm more concerned about radical Christianity than radical Islam, even though the second is much more violent.

Precisely why I bought the video game instead. I remember watching the games progress and getting incredibly depressed that I couldn't afford it... but then I bought a house.

Well, I started back in the 90's (early), and I've not bought anything this century (which is my marker for when prices got too ridiculous), so I'd imagine I had a couple of thousand pounds worth.

Back at the start, you could get 5 marines for £2.50. And 30 plastic for £10. That didn't last.

And I did make it harder for myself, by choosing to do things like committing to my entire first company being in Tactical Dreadnought (Terminator) armour.

The video game is fun, but no where near as awesome as the actual game.

For some reason, red seems to make everything better/more powerful. Y'know?

As for the swastika bit, well, at least you're not actually a Nazi, right?

I used to be utterly obsessed with Danny Phantom. It's died down now, but for a while I had DP stuff all over my room and would talk about it a lot.

I used to be obsessed with Dan and Vlad most of all.

Especially Dan, who radiated sheer badassery.

I'd have to really like a symbol to be able to overlook all that genocide and stuff for it. Or does 'Nazi' in this case just mean "I like swastikas"?

For a few days 2 Marches ago I was obsessed with catgirls suffering.
Before that I loved seeing blonde women suffer on tv.
Nowadays I'm into rape* and media depicting amoral lower class people**.

**Probably because I read Trainspotting.

Oi with the arguing in circles over the same tired old topic yet again, and the trolling one another on either side with 'who is a real Christian' and 'why your logic sucks'.
