In Response To: Re: Fan or Fanboi? (Shishka)

: The main factor in fanboisim is the fanatacism. People who blindly swear
: "This game is absolutely perfect and anyone who doesn't agree is
: *insert insult here*" is a fanboi. The guy that simply resists trying
: a game because it's not "his" game is a fanboi. The guy that
: thinks himself superior because he has a better grasp on the story of the
: game than someone who's not as familiar with it, is a fanboi. The person
: that, when he heres a celebrity he doesn't like met with his favorite
: developer, denies that the whole thing could have ever happened and rages
: about needlessly is a fanboi. The one who e-mails horrible obscenities to
: a journalist for what, to the rest of the world, would be a simple
: mistake, is a fanboi.

: A fanboi is someone who simply cannot grasp that a world of options outside
: of his preferred platform/game exists, and denies vehemently that there is
: a possibility that something else might be out there that is worthwhile.
: Fanbois are lifeless people who put the rest of gamers in a bad light with
: their bad attitudes and rude "holier-than-your-game" behavior.

: Fanbois all too often get confused with hardcore fans, perhaps especially in
: the Bungie community. Miguel, Louis, mnem, CYBR, and Count-Zero are the
: most hardcore Bungie fans any of you will ever meet. Unlike fanbois, the
: command serious respect because, aside from being such strong supporters
: of Bungie and keepers of the Bungie Way, they're not closeminded fools who
: won't give a game that isn't Bungie-made a chance. They're true gamers,
: and great people. That's what keeps you from being a fanboi, in my
: opinion.

: Big claim, Ross. I believe that title was given officially to someone else.
: ;)

: -S

Then I must not really be a fanboi... :( Durn... I know there are games out there that are just as good if not better than Halo... Oh man... I guess I lose my self-given title of "fanboi supreme." Well, I still can't wait for H2... Or MGS3... Or the next C&C... So I guess I'm not a fanboi.
