What's a fanboy ?

[blakeboogie]

I'm new to this videogame malarky but I was talking to someone on the IGN boards the other day and as soon as I pointed out that I had a PS2 and my favourite game on it was Fifa 2003 I was labled a 'fanboy'.

They wouldn't tell me what it means, so can anyone put me straight ?

Cheers

i think it's someone who loves say sony and hates the xbox and gamecube. and who allways loves the games even if they are crap.

thanks what i think it is

That do ya?

Did you, perchance, rant and rave about how FIFA 'pwned j00', and how no other system could possibly handle it, before rounding it all up by stating that the PS2 is the greatest console in existance, and then using a couple of derogatory misspellings of rival console names to prove your point?

If so, you're a fanboy.

If not, they're all womb-brooms.

Wait... did you say IGN?

Dont worry about what they say on IGN, welcome to the forum.

The exact definition of a fanboy can be found in any thread in this forum by BungiePeterRare&Odd.

Thanks for the Urban Dictionary link I think this line pretty much sums up most of the IGN posters.

'teh HEMMOROID PRIME is ****! halo is awesome i have plaeyed it nonstop since like 1994. snes is horrible why do poeple like it, the graphis in halo are bettar so much'

The bloody hypocrites!

The man speaketh the truth (even though some of BPR&O's post can be useful).

You have it all wrong man!

It's more like:

'+EH h3mM0R01D pR1me 15 $hi+! h4LO I$ @We50m3 1 H4v3 Pl@eyeD 1+ noNs+0P siNc3 lIkE 1994. 5n35 i5 H0rR1bl3 Why DO P0EpLE LIK3 1T, +3H gr4pHi5 IN hAl0 4r3 bET+4r $0 MUCH'

Heh, I prefer:

see sony roolz.

...from the dictionary. Maybe I should submit BungiePeterRare&Odd as another alternative?

[Corrupt Rose]

Wouldn't it be great if Fanboys were forced to abide by Victorian social strictures? The insults would be far more entertaining, and there'd be no ends of duels to the death and such.

It'd be fantastic.

And so much more gentlemanly.
