Playstation fans are the worst.

Am I a reverse Sony fanboy now?


Not yet

 

You can't say Sony fanboys are the worst and get the title by that alone. You have TO BE A FANBOY in a very strategic way.

in the case of Sony, you will need to praise all consoles except the Sony ones, Say negative things about Sony things and mainly dislike Sony related stuff

 

If Sony does something better than a competitor, you must TRASH IT on Sony's part but make excuses for that competitors inferior feature of the same sort.

 

As of right now.. YOU DONT QUALIFY!

I myself almost fit the description, but its more of a dynamic scale of hate with me. I generally hate Sony the least and Microsoft the most with Nintendo being in the middle, then outside of that I like EA, Valve, Sega, From, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Bioware, Atlus, Ubisoft more than Sony, while I hate Nvidia, Crytek, Capcom, Square Enix, EA, and Blizzard more than Microsoft.

However, I really just hate/like the policies and practices overall rather than the companies. The "Arrogrance" displayed by Sony saying people will want to work two job to buy one, (which if you notice is completely different from telling people to get two jobs, a misunderstanding that is annoying to have to explain) is a lot less offensive to me then the audacity of purposely relasing faulty peripheralized hardware in order to get a year lead. If the roles were reverse, my opinions on the companies would flip accordingly but I would remain consistent in my agitation.

The Bi-Polar fanboy, yes I see them.



Around the Network

That's what happens when you have a good moderated forum like this one.

People adapt to the circumstances and figure out new ways to troll without being easily detected.

What can change the nature of a fanboy? Mods!

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

There is something that has been bothering me lately. The reason why it is bothering me is because i'm the only person who notices it.

What about Fake PC gamers?

Jump behind PC whenever their console of choice is underfire.

Good one.



BTW I am very curious how microsoft fans sees me. Obviously I am sony fanboy and dont fall under the new breed you mentioned. But some of my posts were kinda aggressive towards some fans.



I think people like these have been around the whole time.

Used to be, ten years ago, that most of the vocal online gamers would take a dump on Nintendo because of the N64 and GameCube, even if they played everything else and wasn't committed to a single platform.

Now the field's just been evened out a little more, and everyone's had both good and bad experiences with all the console makers.

The word fanboy is hardly useful as a description of the average gamer who just happens to carry a grudge.
