You also can't judge a game unless you played it in it's native language, gotten 100%, and agree with my opinion on it.
Also, if you work for IGN, you also can't review a game, but that's for different reasons.

Yup. Perhaps someday we'll realize that civility and politeness are just as important on the internet as they are in real life. But I suspect that it will take a few generations for our social rules to catch up to our technology.

Yeah, well, this article clearly fails since the author hasn't read enough articles on fanboying to have an informed opinion on how to properly fanboy. Where's the references to Kleinhammer's 22nd Thesis in The Fanboy's Compendium: Volume 12? You also failed to make note of the famous Freudian treatise on Fanboyism And Why You Want To Sleep With Your Mother. How anyone could profess to call themselves a "fanboy/girl" without reading these very basic works is beyond me.
Lolz, gb2reading failface. This is blatant sarcasm. I enjoyed the article very much.

I think story and games are like looks and toys. if a toy looks amazing it may be crap to play with but you still have to get it just to look at it or if a toy is really fun to play with but looks OK you will still get it if it looks bad most likely you won't get it.SpiderJerusalem said:
You forgot about the people that played it on the wrong console / platform... because everyone knows that platform Z is the best and playing a game on platform H proves you are dumb and deserve what you get.
Seen this a lot recently when reviewers get a bad port as their review copy.. then the console haters get to play.

Shamus, I think that one person who missed the point of this is either a fanboy or fangirl. A person who reads something without thinking, jumps onto someone without seeing their justification for their opinion. A person so enamored by something that there couldn't possibly be anything else to it. I'm not going to explain your point on this though. That would take away the fun in seeing how many people can't read for meaning. By the way, hilarious and true.

It reminded me of Sander Cohen's self-fanboy words really: "What's that look?! You don't like it, do you! I don't need to be judged by you...by ANYONE! SCREW YOU!! SCREW ALL YOU FUCKING DOUBTERS!! HERE'S WHAT I SAY TO ALL OF YOU!!!"
