Forums - Gaming Discussion - why chose fanboyism?

Are all these people retarted? I mean really its a gaming system and people are acting like its their holy books or something and when someone says something negative about it its a religious battle on the forums. This is a sad era in gaming.

I choose fanboyism cause its fun. I am passionate about the product I own, and want every forum post to be similar to the combat scenes in the movie "Gladiator"....epic and with lots of blood.

360 is the Shizzznitte, draw your swords bitches!



It's like picking a favorite car company or a favorite sports team. It's not that weird.

 

By the way, my favorite is winning.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

Because it shaped my childhood and I wouldn't be who I am today without it?

Fan boys are annoying and their arguments make no sense at all. Most of the time I believe the forum fan boys are fakes and are just putting it on to flame threads.



fanboyism is good for gaming because it shows the passion people have for gaming.

Depends on the definition of fanboy. I agree we all have our favorite team in sports and we can all have our favorite system. But just like anything people take it to extremes



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

A fanboy is someone spends their time putting down their non-preferred console and it's fans, and have probably lost all touch of actually enjoying gaming. Using the terms "Sony/MS/Nintendo fanboy" in your arguments usually means you are a fanboy yourself. Fanboys will also try to marginalize a good game or promote a bad game if based on it being on their preferred / non-preferred console.

If people get all dramatic about marketshare between Kirby and Hoover Vacuum Cleaners, it seems very silly.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
