A fanboy is a fanboy.

Personally, when I see a thread about Apple on the internet, I see a half-dozen posts bitching about how annoying Apple fanboys are before I see a single post from an Apple fanboy. Guess which I find more annoying?


For now, but don't worry... when the Apple fanboys finally learn how to find their internet browser and discover the internet, we're all doomed! ^_^


Anyway, I definitely see the fanboy fights going way up should Apple enter. The one got guy who made a OSX virus to prove it could be done was getting death threats from Apple fanboys. Video game fans are pretty crazy with all the cosplay stuff, but usually we don't go that far. The current fanboys may be annoying but the Apple fanboys are downright rabid by comparison.


Can I get some examples? =P Links?

 

Read it on Slashdot late last year.  It's old enough where I'm not going to bother looking for links.

That it?

I would buy an Apple console.Apple has the best assets.



Apple fanboys are just the same as the other fanboys... They all have something in common: They think their company of choice is God or something... They're totally brainwashed into it and don't seem to think for themselves. They also think it's perfect and can't accept that other stuff have some better innovation. They also have a great lack of common sense and logic or are just plain arrogant and hard headed.

In other words, any fanboy is annoying.



Hey I'm an Apple fanboy! and the differences with other fanboy's? We are probably a bit older then the Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft fanboys.. That doesn't mean that we're smarter or better.. just older.. :)
I don't think you could find a 13 year old Apple fanboy..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

They most likely will wait to see how their Iphone games are recieved. Consoles can fuck up comapny pretty easily so I'm not sure they will jump in next gen. If they did, I'm sure they would try to make something that appeals to the Wii's primary demographic; making a powerful console like MS and Sony would fail because the market can't support 3 HD consoles and of course the Wii.

Funny thing is alot of people talk about these "apple fanboys". More discussion goes on about these "fanboys" than there are fanboys themselves. People saying "just wait and see" ... klol ... nothing so far ... how much longer?? .. ROFL ...



Well, the next iteration of Apple TV could bring around some game playing functionaility (perhaps with the ability to use iPhone-like controllers????). That would be a good way for them to do it.

Yep, that's the one.  Creepy stuff.

 



Apple fanboys are fanboys, but they tend to be more rabid from what I've seen (all anecdotal evidence).

If I had to guess, I'd say it's because they tend to feel they belong to a minority elite. They're right about the minority part.

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

haha, yeah those apple fanboys really are horrible!
One of my previous friends is an apple fanboy. Every 5-10 minutes, he says something like "oh that's shitty like Windows," or like "The guy is an asshole like Bill Gates," or like "Microsoft sucks balls."

Sorry for the language, but its what he says. Every few days, he would try to get me to "realize" windows sucks, and Bill Gates is a bum, but it won't work. Personally, i like windows, and i'm sticking with it. Also, once i asked him why he hates Microsoft (and its products, actions, or owner) and all he said is that its because they buy smaller companies for their own use, they use their money to advertise their products. When i asked if he realized that's what Capitalism and competition is about, he stayed shut.

I hope that all Apple fanboys arn't like that.....dear god i hope not....
