The ones who will never quit being fanboyish despite having factual evidence to back up your statement.
Which usually falls under the stereotypical 360, Halo 3-pre-pubescent,swearing-not-using-his-inside-voice- kid-who-cant-take-no-for-an-answer-and-wants-chocolate-milk.
Though if I HAD to pick one, it'd definitely be PC fanboys. I know it sounds a bit bizarre, seeing as how they're much less common than the console fanboys, but I know one in person, and he's just a complete douche. I don't care that your textures and overall graphics put my Xbox 360 to shame, because when I put a game in my Xbox, it runs. Just like magic. No installs, the patches apply themselves, ease of use for the computer dummies such as myself. If I have to sacrifice graphical prowess for ease of use that's fine by me. /rant.
That last bit sounded pretty Xbox-fanboyish now that I look at it. I guess I should throw the fact out there that I have a Wii too and am heavily considering the PS3 for LBP.
" @Baillie: Not trying to fuel any type of fire. GB has it's fare share of fanboys (more then usual lately). Not my fault you are such a prune about it. "
I'm not being a prune, but you've just done exactly what these fanboys do. I'm guessing most people will vote 360 fanboys if they have a PS3 and vice-versa. This thread is, in my opinion, pointless.
If you want a reply, I'm going to say PS3 fanboys. More often than others, they bring up things like the PSN being free and the PS3 is a more powerful console. I see this nearly everyday, and it does get tedious. I don't have a preference, but seeing the same things being thrown around daily is just annoying.
Also, sorry for the attack on you, Mordukai, I didn't mean you personally, just I don't like these things in general. :)
BlazBlue fanboys, only because after Jeff's review they were like cocroaches. Actually, I bet one will respond to this very post trying to defend Blazblue even though I JUST DO NOT CARE. Whew, sorry.
PS3 fanboys have always seemed more aggressive to me and they always seem to dismiss Nintendo and foresee the death of the 360 to be nigh. In the end, all fanboys suck.
" I'm kind of a Wii fanboy, so I didn't vote. I hate the haters more. "
I voted for 360 fanboys... not sure why? = ) I'm a big fan of Nintendo and consider myself a Wii fanboy, but I enjoy following the industry as a whole and respect the other systems and their fans. There are lots of games I miss out on, but I find the Wii/DS combo with some PC to be more then enough to fill my gaming needs.
I think the reason the 360 fanboys are getting the most votes is because there are more of them. The more people, the more chances of pricks, assholes and douche bags. Pretty simple logic. Of course there are a lot of rational 360 fanboys who generally like Microsoft, like I do Nintendo. These people are cool. The number of good fanboys always far outweighs the number of evil fanboys. The Darkside is weak.

I totally agree with this. I think it's because they always use the same excuse - the RROD - and they will not give up on it. It's getting really, really annoying. I have had a 360 for over 2 years now but, apparently, I got a RROD 4 times. Um, no? Never? Sheesh.
To me PC fanboys come off as elitist ignorant jerks, Wii fanboys come off as oblivious noxious assholes who hate gaming, and 360 & PS3 fanboys just come off as blithering idiots.
Where is the option for "Purists"? You know who I am talking about. They are the people who will single out certain games in a series and declare that those "aren't real (insert franchise here) games" and consider themselves so much better because they snub said games. Notable series include: Fallout, Resident Evil, and Fire Emblem
Every single person who cant see that everything has its strengths and weaknesses. When ever i see a fanboy rant i always picture a 12 year old kid screaming because he is not getting his way. I prefer PC as a platform for many reasons too numerous to list here, over the console platforms. But that doesn't mean i cant see why someone would like a different format to play their games on. If i had the cash i would own every one of them, and enjoy each of them for their own strengths, and equally hate them all for their weaknesses. I honestly don't understand how anyone who isn't a kid with an underdeveloped thought process can just scream that platform X is better the Y because of some strange need to say that the platform they bought is the ONE. Just because you bought system X instead of Y doesn't mean Y sucks, it means for what ever reason system X appealed to your interests more then system Y did. Now shut up and enjoy your dam system and leave every one else alone to enjoy theirs.
Yeah, if I have to hear one of them rant one more time i'm going to find the nearest screwdriver and shove it in my ear. Luckily that's not likely to happen : )
All types of fanboys annoys me. My preferred gaming platform is the PC, while there are others who would prefer the console. Talking to someone who is a fanboy, is like talking to brick wall.
All types of fanboys deserve disdain. The ones I find annoying would be just as bad if they were for a different platform, so I don't see the point in condemning a single platform's.

I know what you mean, I've only been here 4 months but in those 4 months so many asshole fanboys joined.
