Forums - Gaming - Console Fanboyism. What constitutes a fanboy?

A Phillips fanboy? You are the first one I know =p.

yeah, but seriosuly virtually everything in my house is Philips/Magnavox or an affiliate. Never once had anything [Philips] Breakdown.

You should go then to Eindhoven you would love that place as an Phillips fan. BTW I guess your favourite soccer team is PSV then =p?






HDTV, 13" TV, 19'TV, 3D Audio Stereo System, (MP3CD Player stolen), (5 DISC DVD PLAYER stolen or sold at blockbuster I really can't remember), DVD- Player, VCR, VHS Rewinder, Phone, Clock Radio (oldest, it was a brand new Cassete deck!) Boom Box from 7th grade even the tape deck still works, Light Bulbs (Lowes stopped carrying them and I rant and rave about it constantly, I want more) , Toaster Oven, Waffle Iron and Philips electronic accessories (cleaning products) and wall sockets. I'm pretty sure I'm leaving something out. but yeah ALL Philips. Again not mentioning all the Whirlpool appliances.

Sure why not! LOL. Seriously I've never gotten into soccer. I mean I love my copy of PES for the Wii, though I don't play it much, but with all the interests I've had I don't make much time for sports in general, but soccer I just never got tuned into. Doesn't help that its not that big in the states.

You knoe what. Screw it, with internet i can keep some track. I'll try to get into soccer. PSV Ill look them up. I knoe nationaly I support Deutschland na klar! but I'll start looking into it!

Ignoring the specific questions asked, I'll go ahead and say that STARTING threads/issues/propaganda wars is the mark of the tried and true fanboy.  They have so little shame that they put their black-hearted little ideas out there in a brand new thread at the top of the forum.  Those RESPONDING in such threads are merely second class citizens in the world of the fanboy.  Responders may be fanboys, but they've also just been rubbed the wrong way.

When the poster knows what he is saying is ridiculous and doesn't believe it, or says it only to evoke emotions, it's being a troll, not a fanboy.

It's not always easy to distinguish the two...



Right on PSV jerseys are made by Nike ! another one of my favorites!!!

I swear all my companies team together. It was something I came up with in 5th grade that I commonly refer to as Red side / Blue side.

Basically All my hated companies are Red side who are (but not limited too:
Coca-Cola (why red is chosen), Adidas, Sony, McDonalds, Dominoes, Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees, Coors, United Artists Cinemas, Ford, Shell Gasoline
General Electric, General Mills cereals, Tylenol, OH YEAH E f'n A!!!!, Capcom

Blue side (favored) : Pepsi, NY Mets, Pepsico resturants and Arbys, Honda (was Chevy groing up just cause it was the opposition to Ford), Loews (Regal Cinemas), Brittish Petroleum Gasoline, Nike, Philips, Quaker (Pepsi), Whirlpool (Philips), Bayer, SEGA, Funcoland (RIP /cry), SNK

just to name some, yeah as yu can imagine it drives my wife nuts. The scary thing is, even with a new brand I have a sixth sense about it an can usually guess it's alignment even before I research them to find out. There are neutral (gray and green) peoples too. Like Jones Soda for instance.

1. It's the internet. People put their energy into a lot of stupid things on the internet. They must have never gotten the memo that the most useful thing you can do is surf porn.

2. They want to justify their purchase, or they just feel the need to pick favorites. In either case, it's the other consoles that must suffer in their minds. Nobody wants to admit they may have made the wrong choice.

That and!

 

That and they feel that there console is not on Top anymore...So they feel that if there console is second or third that it sucks,so they pick on the other consoles to make thers seem better.

 



as someone has said its kinda like people are fans of sport teams. except 'console wars' dont involve actually fights and rioting.

to me gaming is my main hobby. ive been gaming for around about 10 years. i started with the gameboy pokect and have boguht nintendo consoles/handhelds ever since. and of all the games ive gotten over the years its the games made by nitendo themselves that i remeber most vidily ( apart podracer on the N64, that was a damm fine game lol). so my thought has always been 'well i ahve really great memories of games from this company, therefore i will always buy ther products'. thats why my sig is what it is. im the good kind in that im a fanboy simply because ive always loved their games (anyone remember links awakening?). im not the bad kind because i wont troll, or hate on other companines. and i wont bitch or whine everytime nintendo isnt perfect.



 nintendo fanboy, but the good kind
