All fanboys are awful... the real question is, what kind of fanboy is the least obnoxious? The answer is the fanboy who is aware of his or her bias, and keeps their mouth shut about things they don't care about. Instead of hating on other companies you aren't a fan of, it's best to simply ignore them. If you must say something negative about such a company, follow up with something positive.

And when it comes to talking about the company you ARE a fanboy of... no, like I said, it's best not to be a fanboy at all. Just be aware that you prefer a certain brand over another.

There was an HD-twin fanboy on the live feed for Nintendo's E3 this year I wanted to pile-drive him.

It was that bad. :P Nah not really, I meant this ->

Guess which one was the fanboy?



Anyone who talks about how some post they disagree with won't get banned on here because the mods are biased one way or another. That sentiment has very much started pissing me off lately.

Individual actions are much more important than what console fan group you happen to be a part of, but let's try not to let this get too personal or I'll have to lock it.

To sum it all up.......they act smug and superior, living like its the PS2 days, oblivious that Sony is now last place, losing billions, and lost its 3rd party edge.


How so? Specifically, what do they say or do?

this should be interesting.

Get it all the time on my YT channel. But its the constant acts of saying every fault the 360 has, old or new, taking every piece of negative news and blowing it out of proportion. Overhyping EVERY exclusive, expecting each one to be AAA, giving no thought to realistic scores or sales projections. They always tell me PS3 has the best exclusives and games, but when I point to them the sales performances of some games like Starhawk, they give me the "sales dont matter".....when it counters their notion that PS3 gamers love their exclusives and therefore in theory should be buying them in greater numbers. Furthermore, when a game doesnt get AAA, which is pretty often when you hype EVERY one AAA, they forget about it. They act like they never hyped it, it never happened, but then they move on the the next exclusive coming out and hype it AAA. Its a smugness.........talking trash about a console thats beating them.....but they are totally oblivious to that. 

You could accuse me of those. But 360 fans are low in numbers. PS3 ones arent. 360 fans, or at least me, realistically predict sales and metascores. Im trying not to be too elaborate here. Ive been around the block. Im literally "The" 360 go-to fan on YT. Been there for 3 years. 3500 subs. An audience that far surpasses any following you can get on a forum. I know what my supporters act like but I especially know what my haters act like.

You strike me as a sheltered person, unwilling to see or acknowldge the seedier fans of the internet, dismissing them as a vocal minority. I prefer to acknowledge what we have, not playing the "ignorance is bliss" card. 



I think its pretty sell known that YouTube users are the scum of the internet. (Or at least they act as such because of no moderation). Those people should be ignored. They are truly of lower class.

I'm interested....what is the name of your YouTube account?

Being anonymous allows people to show their true colours. In forums many people are forced to curb their true feelings. You get little "real" feelings. I like YT for the massive audience and especially people telling me how they "really" feel. And that sir is more valuable then any forum post. 

GeneralMLD. Now keep in mind my channel is meant to entertain, as is the point of YT, mixed in with semi-genuine opinions. But the biggest mistake is that people assume im like this in the real when in reality when my computer is off im a totally different person. My real self. Youd probably say I was a friendly, social, personable guy :)

Point though, is that I have been around, seen literally thousands of unmoderated opinions, ive literally blocked hundreds that flooded my channel comments with unintelligible insults. I know what im talking about. 



In forums, you don't have to curb your feelings. You just have to be respectful for the most part. You can still express yourself. And it looks like you contradicted yourself. You say YouTube is where people show their true feelings. But then you go and say that your YouTube account isnt your true character. You say its just for entertainment. Couldn't the same be said for every YouTube user? Except instead of conventional entertainment, they find entertainment by having random troll feats.

You could be right that the YouTube users are 'real' but that would mean they are just horrible people, rendering their opinion insignificant and quite frankly, stupid. And thus, they are worth ignoring.

Holy shitballs!! I can't believe Sales2099 is GeneralMLD! :0 You are a huge youtuber! I saw a few videos saying you were the high priest of Xbox360 fanboys! And someone else made this video about you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6LTiGmwAjo

:0



LMFAO i cant believe it took you guys this long to realize that Sales2099 was MLD LOL

I figured out that he was MLD in my 1st thread about PS4 but i just didn't say anything..

I was pretty much 1 of the only PlayStation fans who enjoyed his videos and i would even defend him sometimes because he is pretty much the last of the 360 mohecans on youtube lol but i dont watch all that stuff anymore

EDIT: and also im not too sure at this point but i always thought that Turkish was Pyro2000



i don't like the pc fanboys, and you will meet some here in germany who say "fuck the consoles, they're just holding us back from more awesome graphics". that's just one half of the truth, and they don't get how the limitations of consoles increase the effectivity of game engines, so even the pc benefits from console gaming.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Apple, but PC is a close second. They get extra defensive since they're on a dying platform.
