This is even worse than that time I bought a Lemote Yeeloong.
Finally. I gave you tons of crap for that at the time and you couldn't stop telling me how awesome it was.
Unlike you, I wouldn't be going into this thinking it is a good purchase. I know this is setting fire to money. But in this instance I think I'd be entertained watching it burn. Maybe I'm just lonely but unlike owning a gerbil, this thing isn't going to shit all over my desk and chew its own power chord. And I won't have to remember to feed it or feel bad if I start to get bored of it. It'll be like Toy Story and I'll just put him on ebay because I no longer want to play with him and he'll have to make a new life for himself with someone else.
I would have thought you'd be a prime candidate for wanting a robot for a friend. This thing will love you even if no one else does. It won't care that you haven't shaved for 6 years or that it lives in a rotting meat smelling darkened room with the curtains drawn. It won't care you left your desk full of crumbs and pot noodle sauce and it has to drive over that, or that you keep whacking off to porn hub in front of it. It'll just be pleased to see you and it won't even complain when you run burger greased fingers over its little back ... you should get one too
