I can't comment on Alasttor's other posts he's made in the past, but I can tell you that I think you're the one who's being a little touchy and blind here. You're right, his post mentioned that if you want to see pathetic Sony fanboys, you can go to N4G and see them at their worst. (I suppose that website is rather famous for Sony fanboyism, I've been hearing a lot about it). What he didn't say was that Sony fanboys were the only bad ones.

Yes he addressed a specific answer for the broader topic, but you seem upset that he didn't cover every possible angle. That seems silly to me. If this was a topic about bad brands of bread, and he called out one of the specific brands that sucks, would you get mad at him for not calling out every single bad brand of bread?

THis on a side note not surprised by who posted this thread, not at all

im sorry dude but if that is getting to you and affecting your enjoyment of a system YOU bought, then you need your priorities straight and get a thicker skin

i see so many fanboys from Sony saying so many things about Sony games than i see horrible sales...

dont get it.

I just got on this site so I've commented on maybe 3 posts so far. But really N4G is bad with the Sony fanboys. That's all I was pointing out as an example to this post. Nothing else. N4G is good for video game info but don't read the comments please. Most are litered with Sony fanboys. Even on Nintendo related ones disagreeing with everything anyone says. Just check the site out. It's true.

I'd argue that fanboys were one of the biggest reasons the industry grew so much during the 90s. Ninty vs SEGA alone caused many school aged kids to pledge allegiance to one company or the other, and this was exacerbated when Sony entered the fray.

Today's fanboys however are a different breed, much more whiny and unreasonable than their predecessors IMO. When arguments come down to things like pay vs free online models and DVD vs Blu Ray, you know something's wrong.

That goes for any company, SOny, MS and Ninty, the fanboys for each are very small part of actual console owners.

There has always been fanboy flamewars going back to the beginning of video games. But video games are no exception; disagreement over opinions has started many IRL wars going back as far as you care to look.

Ive been visiting this site for almost a year now. i love pissing off the fanboys there. Particularly RROD2$PLAY ans Allen.

@ oniyide- it doesnt bother me to the extent that i would stop playing my Wii and slash my wrists lol. Its just that nobody can post any constructive criticsm about the Wii, just utter shit and insults, if someone doesnt like the Wii and gives valid reasons then fine.
