Welcome to pinside! I think you will find there's a lot to enjoy here. Sure, some people are dicks. But most people on here are actually pretty good. I have to give you credit for waiting it out on the Hobbit, in the meantime play as many titles as you can. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up buying something else as well while waiting. It usually starts with just one. (I had only planned to buy one. That plan was a miserable failure.)
