this is for all you people who are sick of fan boys arguing over who's got the better console or games. Please feel free to vent in any way as i am so sick of them and i think they should just chill out and start enjoying video games instead of arguing over what game console has got the bigger dick.
Sick of fan boys
I actually don't see too many fanboys on these forums, unless of course we are talking about "religion fanboys." That's another story alltogether.
Riddler, Guilty Spark, Smug, are the biggest I've seen, not describing fanboy as in just liking one thing better than the other, as in what they chose to do, insult at any given second and defend the slightest, even nicely put knock at their console or a certain game on it. Yeah I'm sick of them, but we can't do shit about it so.
"Fanboys are fine. What I'm sick of is all the retarded fucking threads on forums like these. No that's not an implication, I mean it in the literal sense."I agree. If people don't like it, don't click, don't read, don't make threads. Ignore, problem solved.
"Demilich said:Are you saying I should know what something says without reading it? Oh shit, now I gotta unread your post."Fanboys are fine.

If people don't like it, don't click, don't read, don't make threads. Ignore, problem solved."

You can be a fanboy, but when you get so ignorant and start preaching the shit you believe (lets face it, all these companies don't exactly tell the truth), that is when it gets out of hand.
You can love Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, all you want, and you are entitled to your opinion, but when you start preaching it as the best, and sole thing everyone needs to have, that is when you need to sit down and shut up. Fanboys get a bad name because the small group of people, who actually are not even fanboys (I like to call them "trolls"), ruin it for all the people that enjoy their console.
"I just don't like people telling me when a console is better than a different one as each console has their certain points.You just contradicted yourself melady...
PS3 might be graphically better but the online system is still broken and getting into invite games is hard.
Xbox 360 has a fantastic online service but charges and has an annoying friends list limit.
The Wii looks crap but has some funny games on there that you'll play when your drunk."
I love it when people talk about things as if they know what they are talking about.. (speaking in general, not to the person I quoted)
It just makes you look like a fool trying to be semi neutral, when its obvious you only know a limited amount of facts about each topic you are debating. Quite laughable.

LMAO, I actually have that image saved on my computer. >_>
XD
Then again.. that doesn't apply to me.. !!!1?
"I'm sick of people being sick of fan boys. >___>"Hey you're still here? Thought you were 'leaving' from GB... lies.
"Magnum said:it a really warm fire 2"this should be a blog post"Agreed, as a forum topic all your doing is fueling the fire >_>"

And I'm sick of people who complain about threads like these because fanboy extermination is a priority in these forums.
Fanboys should be shot and burnt in hell for their negative impact on the gaming community. Its cool to be a fan of a game or platform, that dedication and support helps further the gaming industry. But when you're loyalty to a game or platform is so strong it makes you blind to their flaws and deaf to what other people have to say then its completely and utterly wrong.

"I blame stupid people.Okay, there seems to be a bit of a blurred line between fan and fanboy but let me tell you the kind of people I don't like. The kind of people who annoy me are those that will not take what they or other people say as opinion but believe it can be a genuine fact that their console is better, they are closed minded and completely reject any notion that any other console may have good traits and with thorough conviction they will not shut up about how their console is superior to all others. Indeed you could say 'just don't click onto the threads' but with the internet it's not that easy and what could usually be a fair and intellectual debate can quickly be changed into a biased bash-fest by one fanboy.

Though they are generally the cause to all my problems.
The whole fanboy thing is why I rarely post on certain forums like IGN anymore. It has got way too extreme over there in the past 2 years especially their PS3 forum. Mods do absolutely nothing to curtail it. Too many times in the past when trying to post a topic you are immediately called a fanboy and the thread just goes all to hell. Most of time it was cause they look at your post history and look at how many times you posted in one forum compared to the other.
I understand if you only have one console and either can't afford or choose not to buy another one. Just seems to me that sometimes people are insecure about their purchase and feel the need to defend it at all costs when someone says anything negative about it.
I understand the reason for competition but sometimes I wish there could just be one huge console called like Multi-PlayBox with all games from all consoles......ever.
Fan boys are spoilt kids who need what they own to tbe the best. Kids play computer games. The internet is a place where people can express themselves behind a veil of anonymosity. There are always going to be assholes somewhere chatting shit about something that doesnt matter.
The odds are stacked against us.
All you can do is continue to demonstrate maturity and sincerity in an attempt to alter the gamer demographic and isolate those alternate obnoxious people into a corner where they can stick their fingers in their ears and shout at one another.
Everyone grows up eventually, and hopefully realises what an idiot they were as a child. Thats how shit happens.
