The most profound quote I ever heard about fanboys was something along the lines of "A fanboy is someone with differing views". I agree with this completely. People jump at every opportunity to slap the label "fanboy" on someone. Now, they bash Halo. You then take the time to satisfy them with a poorly executed rebuttal. It's not only hypocritical, it's a waste of time. [Edited on 11/28/2004 8:05:19 PM]

But Peach is an airhead...she can't figure out how to NOT get captured by Bowser. Personally, I don't really think the Mario games are as fun as everyone says they are. My favorite Mario game is Super Mario RPG for the SNES, because it was actually fun. Teaming up with Bowser to get his castle back was awesome, and Geno was the coolest Mario character ever. Too bad he hasn't been in any of the other games... But, I used to be a Nintendo fanboy, and that was because I read Nintendo Power. It's not gaming journalism, it's friggin' Nintendo propaganda. Nintendo Power is, without a doubt, the most closed-minded, POS sorry excuse for a magazine out there. I began to break out of my Nintendo fanboy-ism when I picked up my first copy of EGM. I was amazed...so many great video games, a whole new world of awesome! Most of it was outside of Nintendo! I used to have a 'Cube and I was really excited about its prospects...until I sold it because the only game that I actually had fun playing was Rogue Leader. I finally broke out of the box and played some other games, like MGS 2 and Halo and SOCOM, and realized that Nintendo just didn't have the stuff that was great for me. For a while, I was excited about Metriod Prime, until I played it. The lock-on feature and lack of a free look pissed me off. It's an FPS! Lock-ons are for -blam!-! Also, beating the enemies in MP didn't leave me with the same amount of gratification as taking down a squad of Elites on Legendary did. MP just required you to figure out a pattern to beat all your enemies--boring! I like having to actually have to keep constantly thinking and forming new strategies to beat my foes. But, I am getting my hopes up for the new Zelda game...I'm going to buy a 'Cube for it. Other than that, there isn't anything else about Nintendo that I give two craps about (well...on second thought, now that I think about it, Super Smash Bros: Melee is hella fun. It's the second best party game of all time--Halo 2 takes the cake as far as awesome multiplayer frenzy/carnage is concerned). I'll take my Xbox (and hopefully in the future, a PS2) and their better games, thank you very much. But, the biggest thing that annoys me about Nintendo fanboys is how they hate online gaming. They shun it like the plague. I'm friends with a fanboy, and then only semi-valid excuse he can give for hating online games is: "The internet should just stay on computers." That's only semi-valid because, when you basically look at it, your consoles ('specially the Xbox) are essentially computers. The other thing that annoys me about Nintendo is how they STILL don't try to really have actual voice work done for their games. Mario, Zelda, and Metriod still just have text. The immersion and entertainment factor is so much higher with voice work...KOTOR is probably the best example of how awesome voice work makes a game that much better. Bah, I'll shut up now. That's just my two cents on the matter. [Edited on 11/29/2004 9:53:34 PM]

i hate all fanboys.especely nintendo fanboys.I know i used to be one.And i loath that section of my history.

What is with peoples obsession of bashing others games and other systems? its the same thing as the people who say Halo2 sucks. THEN DONT PLAY IT. and dont buy systems if you dont care about them. Why would someone want to waste their time complaing about an "inferior" system? People who think that are just narrowminded people. I hate them. I hate them all

i hate fanboys of .....well anything. the cube aint bad, it has some good games,but so dose the xbox and may i dare say it PS2. its just that ninty do things differently, and so dose the xbox, its better than it identicle crap you get 70% of the time on the PS2 (im looking at you EA) but one thing that does do my head in.. 'cube is for kids' well most kids own a GTA game figure that one out! Let the flames begin!

thoes are tough words eh

yay a cool new member

Maybe, but a sexy and smart computer program. Princess Peach is an airhead.

hey...mario does get girls tthough only girl master chief gets is a computer program...admit it...lammmmmmmeeee...jk

I myself am an xbox fanboy, but I mean, c'mon. Halo 2 is -blam!-? Mario better than Master Chief? Pffttt...... Don't make me laugh.

my friend has a ps2, and he got a gamecube and said it was a waste of money. i convinced him to get a xbox

Actually I don't like Bungie fanboys either. sure Bungie is my favorite game developer, but I also play PS2 games, I don't restrict myself from other good games. But I don't really play any Gamecube, because honestly it really blows in all aspects compared to PS2 and Xbox, I don't like the idea of engineering it around making it small for a less powerful machine, and most of the games seem pretty childish to me in someways.

All Fanboys Suck.* *Except for Bungie fanboys.

Nintendo fan boys are easy to ignore on the internet, but when you meet one in real life they can be a pain in the ass. They go on and on and on and on and on and on about how much better Mario is than the Master Chief, and after a while you just want to take that "friggin' huge truck Xbox" and smash it into their skulls. Anyways, I like Xbox just for Halo and I like GameCube just for Metroid, so I guess they're even... Not.

And they probably think the same way about the ones who bash Gamecube and love Xbox. It's all the same thing. Trust me, Bungie won't be affected by those children. You don't have to tell them that. [Edited on 11/27/2004 5:25:08 PM]
