As for belonging to a faction, its like a sports fan. You identify with your "team" and cheer them on to victory

This.

One of the things I like in the sports is the rivality between the fans... I love to cheer and talk with my coworks of oposite teams... when won or loose the things get even better... that's fantastic.

But if someone only watches the Yankees play, or only watches Manchester United play, is that person a baseball or football fan? Or is he just a fan of a jersey?

They are a fan of a team. Not a jersey. I do not miss any Kentucky basketball games and it has nothing to do with the jersey. I graduated from there, I grew up a fan, I will die a fan. Sure, I check out the competition from time to time and watch the big games, but mostly I stick to watching my team, because it doesn't matter how well other teams play, it matters how well mine does.

You ignore the fact that in any game, there are two sides, and the other side changes with each game. So you can't only watch one team as there are always two and the opposing side changes.

I think the OP is spot on!

And that every PC gamer is a fanboy considering this description ^^

Which would mean the OP can't be spot on and we have a contradiction in your post!

THE woerst case of fanboyism ^^

But not all PC gamers can call themselves part of the Master Race

you see, youre even fanboyic against other fellow pc gamers! awful, just... awful...

I'm totally part of that master race though.

and thus a fanboy by default ;D

yeah totally, my live stream and youtube videos about consoles are totally fake!

Aaaw comeon, I'm just pulling your leg! :)

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

oh come on, I don't know about others but Pezus and Nsanity are not fanboys, they are more like fans, you can't just list people who are more pro a certain platform when they obviously game on others as well.

Pezus is a PS3-man... I like it ... Nsanity is a 360-man... i like it too... well I like Pezus more .

To be a fanboy is not a bad thing... one of the most discussion I have here was with Kowen and I like it so much too.

There guys make the forum funny for all... that's why I came here every day.

I just think boring that "politically correct" talk.


They are still not fanboys, and just listing people's names like that is how you got a warning.

I guess your right. But I think you mean we all belong to a "kingdom".

That's a good point... I just listed guys like me... if anyone calls me fanboy I received that as a compliment and not a bad thing.

Why I can't be a PS3 fanboy??? Give just one reason???

I don't get that... there is no problem in being fanboy.

Maybe I lack English knowledge but for me Fanboy is not offensive.

I'm also not talking about you, I'm stating that you shouldn't call people as what they are not because they might be offended even if you think it's not offensive.

I'm aware that you are aware of me pulling your leg... O.O but, eh... that was for... eh... the Mods! Yes, it was for the mods of course! You know how thick they can be, so I just wanted, eh... to be suuuure... that, eh... THEY knew I was joking! Yeah, that sounds about right!

Point being, I dont get why fanboys in gaming are looked down upon. Competition and rivalry is present in all things in the world and in our lives. So why does the parts that have to do with gaming have to be supressed?

Im gonna say it: gamers who don't like rivalries and competition are:

A. Just a gamer who plays games for his own pleasure. This doesn't apply to any of us because they would thereofore have no need to talk about their ideas on a forum.

B. Soccer mom. AKA "Lets all just be nice to eachother and HAVE FUN!"



Ya thats right, I just called people wimpy soccer moms. Pick a side (and follow the forum rules) or drive your kids to practise :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

@sales2099 you know how to explain way better than me... I have just to agree again with all that you said.
