Fanboys Monsters are hard to deal with. They are not to be mistaken for trolls even if both hang out together most of the time. They use a weapon that looks like an Objectivity Sword lvl 99 but in reality it's only an Opinion Wand lvl 0.1. It's still a great weapon though, because it can cast a charm spell and those who are not equiped with a Common Sense Armor might fall in a spiral of confusion.

They usualy deal a lot of damage and can rally confused people rather easily, especialy since Common Sense Armor are rare items and quite difficult to wear. Once confused, people will transform into Fanboys, similar to zombies, and behave the same way and immediately equip themselves with Opinion Wand lvl 0.1 and their only objective will be to confuse more and more people.

If you don't want to engage in battle with them you are not required to because for some reason Fanboys Monsters seem to wage war amongst themselves for no apparent reason.

If members of your party are confused you can cure them but the process takes time. You will need to equipe yourself with a lot of Elixir of Reason. The higher the level the better. Their skin is really thick and a lot of elixirs needs to be used. Once they are not confused anymore it is highly suggested to have them wear a Common Sense Armor as soon as possible.

t is said they can assemble and form an unstoppable being.

I think it's fine for people to have frank, open discussions on games, systems, and the overall trajectory of the video game industry. It's part of what makes this site, and others like it, so interesting. In arguing with others about game A or system B I've made friends and learned a lot.

The problem with "fanboyism" is that it prevents the kind of honest, open-minded debate that births new ideas and perspectives. When fans show blind loyalty to a company and blind hatred for the competition it turns debates into shouting matches, and this site into a very toxic place. Not only that, but "fanboyism" is, arguably, one of the most insidious threats to the integrity of this industry. As long as consumers show deference to a brand name over all else, hardware and software companies will continue to get away with murder.



Being a fan(boy) can differ over time, I was in Sony's camp first (PS2), then Microsoft (Xbox 360) and now Nintendo's (Wii U). I think it's fair to say every console and the way it's handled along with it's exclusives 'feel' different. And while I defended those 3 companies in rotating order, I'm also quite critical towards them (but the least of all Nintendo, since most of their bad decisions are bad business decisions, not bad game decisions).
