Define a fanboy

[Erana]

I love those fanboys who defend their favourite game by saying "you just didn't understand it" when you tell them how much you disliked their favourite game. It's useless to tell them that you actually understood it very well, but just didn't like it, because they'll just tell you that "because you didn't like it, that's a 100% proof you didn't get it at all".

Well said.

Reading all of this puts me that much closer to my local religious fanatic. Bless him, he tries so hard.

Anyone who not only spouts Yahtzee quotes in both online and offline conversation, but also bases their opinions and tastes solely on the result of his review, as though the words of a foul mouthed and foreign intellectual with a nifty hat should have relevance to absolutely anything of world shattering importance.
I adore Yahtzee's reviews, but I still love quite a few of the games he's given an absolute verbal thrashing regardless of what he has to say about them.

Frackin' 'ell, that man must be kidding. No-one can be like that in real life, right? Right?

That man does a great parody of a fanboy. It's not? Oh dear lord.

Oh my god... I think that guy is for real. *Throws up*

Anyway, that guy is a fanboy but most fanboys are less... insane?

Very simple. A fanboy is anyone who likes anything I don't happen to like.

ok i think i can give a good example of what a fanboy is...
I love star wars so dose my best freind and my wife so when the last star wars movie came out we all went to the midnight showing of the movie the night it came out. which is something a fan would do but a fan boy would show up in star trek outfits and heckle the starwars fans which happened.

as far as games go people who just cant see flaws in games or systems.even in my favorite games i can see the flaws. also people who arent willing to change companys in each generation of gameing.

Oddly enough, those seem to be the ten rules of religious extremism as well.

Fanboyism is a stupid thing. People get all angry just because someone else don't like what they do. How childish.

In short, a fanboy is anyone whose love for a given product exceeds their common sense.

It's a slippery slope.

A fanboy is a person who not only dissed games and consoles he hasn't played but continues to hold the view despite actual evidence to the contrary. It is exactly the same as religeous fundamentalism on paper just alot funnier in real life.
I'm from the UK so i don't know much about this; but apparently the theft of a blessed cracker was enough to require death threats and armed guards at the the catholic church from where it was stolen as a prank. This was last week, in 2008, in an advanced and wealthy country..... I'm off to central Russia i think.

Are you fucking serious? In the UK? You couldn't get 20 meters in a star trek outfit without being fucking murdered by a herbert in the city i grew up in.
