One of the site's biggest fanboys being ironic?

@OP HERE HERE!

You should probably edit that. Calling people that word is banworthy.

Anyhow...

Banned from another public forum toilet... what ever will I do?

What am I a fanboy of? It most certainly isn't the PlaySatation brand as I do not own a PS2, PS3 or Vita.

Saying that all "Fanboys" are sheep is like saying all Tomatoes are red.

And, no. Being a "Fanboy" really doesn't suck. It's not like Nintendo forces this upon me or anything and it's not like if I were to pick up a DualShock Nintendo would throw lightning at me to kill me for my sins.

nintendo wouldnt throw lighting at you to kill you, they would send pikachu to do that for them



Alright, buddy. Get off your high horse.



"Trick shot? The trick is NOT to get shot." - Lucian

This is how more gamers need to think. However the only issue is that sometimes being a "Fanboy" is justified. It is not justified to call out a company for every little mistake and defend another companies massive ones.

I see myself, this generation, as a Sony and Nintendo fan. I don't bash the Xbox, but I have no reason to purchase it. All my 3rd party games are on my PC with mods and better visuals, and while I ADORE Halo, It isn't worth another $200 + Live, when PS offers Killzone, Resistance, Twisted Metal, God Of War, Infamous, and Uncharted, as well as Classics like Ratchet and Sly Cooper, and Zelda, Mario, Red Steel, Monster Hunter, and Metroid are on Wii U.

So yes, fanboys are closed minded and sad consumers, but just like having a preference over Battlefield Or Call Of Duty, some products just don't seem to live up to the others, and people have a right to explain why, so long as they stay reasonable.

^Do you not know how high his horse is!? He'd die instantly from the fall ya foo!

But yeah being an extremist fanboy must not be funs... or is it? Many get a kick out of causing trouble/strife/etc. so I kinda doubt that.



It's much like people that are devout to their religion. They will justify anything.

I think it’s a personality problem. Some people just want to be right and/or angry. I think it is a bit silly.

I would love to see people arguing over which is better Oak Trees or Pine Trees. Then have someone who likes Elms join the fun.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I lean towards Sony these days but own all consoles. I owned an Xbox 360 since launch and a PS3 since about 3 years.

I used to come across as an MS person and used to genuinely dislike Sony's way of business - not the content - that was great, can't beat a 1st party Sony exclusive on the PS3. My real dislike these days is for the Sony fanboy though, they have a certain evangelical quality to them that is a real turnoff. MS fanboys I can deal with, they're just plain stupid.

I'll chose stupid over indoctrinated though any day of the week.

It really gets my back up. I think it puts off a lot of people giving the PS3 a chance. I'll say that the people who post like fanboys here are the main reason I didn't own a PS3 earlier! I don't want to be a part of some "club", some "B_E_L_I_E_V_E" group of clowns.

I want the best games and the best UI and the most intellectual group of people who can talk like they aren't a Sony press release (I still hate those).

So things are moving in the right direction, there's less evangelical talk (I'd say thanks to the Vita failing),

...just read a few words of Zappykins post as I type this, that's exactly the crap I don't like and unfortunately it's a Sony fanboy trait.

My personal opinion since it's relevant to thread, so I hope it's appropriate. :)

Pine Trees are useless, you try burning that wood it gives a terrible smoke. Also when you climb them they have loads of mini branches that prick you in the back. Would never buy a pine tree! They also get RROD I've heard.



Not if you're a 3D fanboy LOL.

On consoles I'm more of a software whore (LOL again), I went from my favorite being NES to Sega Genesis to N64 to Sega Dreamcast (same gen as N64 as far as I'm concern) to PS2 to DS to 3DS.

I was disappointed with the 7th Gen, at least when it came to it Home Consoles (PS3 & Wii for me) but they got a worthwhile library now, but now the 8th Gen consoles are here (Wii U & PS4 or maybe Wii U & 720, the Wii U seems like this Gen's PS2 for need but not as good library from what I have seen so far).

Anyways we had "45" 3D Movies in 2012 in theaters nationwide and now "67" 3D Movies in 2013 in theaters nationwide.

And then there's 3DS, which has turn a lot of doubters of 3D around, plus it's game library & Hardware sales & upcoming full 3D Movies for purchase to watch on the Nintendo 3DS on the go (boy am I glad Disney owns Marvel for such Sony Movies as the Amazing Spider-Man trilogy, and that Warner Bros. owns DC Comics for its 3D Movies).

And then there's the sales of 3D TVs doing much better then HD TVs during same point in life spam when they both started out at several thousand dollars and both drop in price at the same rate at the same amount (typical marketing with today's mark-up values since 2005 or whatever).

And both "IMAX" & "Real D" do a great job in their own format of stereoscopic 3D movies in theaters.

So I don't even need to defend 3D because it's doing too good to need any help anyways LOL, like Iron Man 3 which has a few haters but a lot of lovers.
