This reminds me of a discussion I had with a Wii fanboy, he tried to tell me that the Wii was almost as powerful as the PS3 and 360. I laughed my arse off!

please tell me you are joking. i dont think i ahve ever seen anybody who thought that. ps the wii is still a good console dispite it not being as powerful as the hd consoles but it makes up for it in other areas


No the person who he is probably talking about(me) said that the ps3/360 are about 4-5 times more powerful than the wii. For some reason that means = though. Also I revised my thoughts on that and now believe they are about 6-7 times more powerful.

Edit: Oh , and I consider myself far from an all out nintendo fanboy. I just prefer the wii over my other consoles.

He has tooken time since then to revise his thinking, but you can ask others, they will tell you he genuinely thought the Wii was almost as powerful as the PS3 and 360.

 


 Of course that is why I said many times that they were 4-5 times more powerful, and never said that they are equivalent in power.

^^ I wasn´t attacking you personally... its just many people here think starcraft is a fanboy... if protecting what you like from beeing bashed all the time for no reason is beeing a fanboy... well then he is... but I salute him for it...


Most of the examples are about him going on the "Offensive" actually, so much for "protecting". no? I believe the reason those people above picked Starcraft is the fact he goes on the offensive and bash others.

 

Heck, there are tons of xbox fans here and nobody picked them.

Again, as with Obie, please provide some of these examples. To be honest I cannot remember a single time when I have "bashed" someone that didn't "bash" me first. I generally go after people's arguments rather than their person, unlike this thread that turned into an attack on me well before I set foot in it.

As for the "tons" of Xbox fans? I don't think I could name more than 5 off the top of my head.

I await your examples with anticipation.

 


 whether they would fit YOUR description of "bashing" or not, there are more than 1 people clearly accusing you of such, and that's a fact. Even if you don't realize it, people do single you out here as the "aggressive xbox fan".

Lol, I'll try to go easy on them, but I wouldn't count on them staying in the thread for one primary reason.  When it is just the SDF against me they go for it.  No matter how many times I debunk their arguments, they just call me a delusional fanboy because there is safety in their numbers. 

But whenever another reasonable person like you comes along and says that I'm not a fanboy, they all seem to second-guess themselves and start to trickle out of the thread.  It's almost like they feel guilty ganging up on the little guy defending the up-and-comer of the videogame industry the moment someone sees them.

Starcraft there are many fanboys we could have mentioned, Legend11, Leo-j, GGE and so on but we mentioned you for a reason. You pass them all up, you might not spam as much as leo-j or make stupid statements like GGE but you are still overall a bigger fanboy then them all.

 I am no part of the SDF, perhaps part of the AMSF but after the abysmal showing of PS3 t will be awhile before i praise it.

Again, simply providing your examples would end this argument.  Why do you not do so?

Does the fact that the "more than 1 person" your referring to is actually the same group of 4-8 people that rally around you or obie and ardently defend the PS3 not tell you anything?  Does the fact that few relatively impartial or Wii fans so much as associate the words troll or fanboy with the word Starcraft not tell you anything?

You realize their are about five people in this thread that are bashing me (not my arguments, me) and not one of you has found an example of my so called Sony-hatting and Sony-fan-bashing?

As for not being part of the SDF?  I guess it is possible that you have been labelled as part of it by association.  By jumping on the bandwagon everytime the SDF has a go at me, it makes it appear as though you support their personal attacks and lack of logical argument.  Avoid jumping on the bandwagon a few times in a row (things like the last sentence of your quote don't help you you know) and you will quickly shed your reputation for being a member of the SDF.

 Dude you do realize you have over 3,500 posts right?  We have lives and are not about to go through them all looking for examples of your fanboyism, take Gebx as an example i used to think he was a massive 360 fanboy but once he realized that the 360 has its problems and stopped defending it blindly he was ok.  Even though he still regards me as an irrational annoyance i can't call him a fanboy anymore...
