Fanboyism

I'm a fangirl of Rydian.

I'm not dumb enough to be a fanboy, I tend to look at everything objectively.

I'm a fanboy fangirl of everything FireGrey said except that I love my Xbox.
But yeah, still, nothing beats my DSiXL <3

EDIT: Almost forgot I'm female.

My Nintendo fanboyism is making me do something longer then ever.
Saving my money up!
I have $250, the most i've ever saved up to is $140

You can be a fanboy without being dumb you know. Yes, your advice about X products won't be objective, but if you really like it, heh. I've been a Nintendo fanboy for years, until now (too much crappy games on Big N consoles these days, and I've been disappointed with a lot of pretended good games)

“I do believe in fairies, I do! I DO!"

HOW COULD YOU FORGET THAT

Welcome to the Interwebz, where things like sex, skin color, ethnicity, body odor, hair color, facial features and pretty much anything that as to do with what you look like, isn't important!

I made my own word for Nintendo Fanboys
Nintendoists
I wrote it into i dictionary so it's an official word

Saying "I'm a fanboy and I'm proud of it!" is just openly admitting that you're an idiot. Fanboys are nothing but tasteless gamers who just buy whatever crap comes out from company X. They're view of games being good or bad is gone; it's just if it's from company X or company Y.

Same here.
Everything has its pros and cons.

We already went over what a fanboy actually is in another blog a while ago, and you were part of the conversation.
In truth, being a fanboy or girl just means you're a huge fan of whatever. Dunno when it ever got pointlessly turned into a derogatory word, but usually you need to use adjectives to make 'fanboy' actually a derogatory phrase. Y'know, obsessive fanboy, blind fanboy.

Anyways.
I'm a Tales fanboy. S'bout it.

I like to take an objective look at things as well, even though I don't always agree with myself. For example I really like to push the "brand is not everything" mindset (I even have a copy-paste on it) even though I don't fully agree. While I will say that you need to focus on the line and the hardware more than the brand, Acer has repeatedly proven that ALL their lines are low-end, while Lenovo doesn't have a bad line (their lowest-end line is about a medium for other companies, build-wise, not spec-wise). So while I'll tell people over and over to not base on the brand, what I'm really doing is trying to get people to think about more than the fucking name on the case...

No that's not true.
Fanboy's still find negatives, but they really like the system.
And being a fanboy doesn't mean you don't like the competitors, just not as much.
Anyway i don't buy whatever crap Nintendo makes, i love Mario but i only get certain Mario Games.
I stay the heck away from the Mario Sport games (such as Mario and Sonic and Mario Tennis...) but i love Mario Kart, Brawl and alot. And we are not tasteless...

So basically you're saying that you see the bad parts of the game but just refuse to accept them because the game has a certain name on it.

And yes, fanboys are tasteless. They may like a good game (like Mario Kart and Brawl) but they're just completely inadequate compared to other gamers.

I'm a fanboy of Nintendo for it's great games but i find the online a downer.
I'm a fanboy of Microsoft (Not XBOX...) for their great OS's like Windows 7, but their upgrade disc prices are HEAPS...
I'm a fanboy of HP (Specifically Compaq Presario) for their laptops, though i have been hearing negative things.
What about you guys?[/quote]

I'm a fanboy of Nintendo.
I'm a fanboy of akAIO.

And I'm a fanboy of Another World.

There's a difference between a fanboy and an idiot. Being a fanboy just means your a big fan of whatever game/console/series. It doesn't mean you can't hate on the company for doing something bad or making a bad move. Now an idiot; an idiot would just accept whatever shit come's out that company's ass, whether it be good or bad, they'll defend it to their grave.

I'm not really a fanboy of anything, maybe nintendo handheld wise, but that's about it.

Exactly. Take Bladxdsl for example. He is a fucking idiot. He is a fanboy and a hater to the max. Now if we talk about apple and such, I call them Brandboys.

Being a fan of a company =/= being a fanboy. Fanboy is pretty widely used for someone who just gobbles the shit of one thing or another, no matter how good/bad it is. A fan is just an appreciator who still has taste.

Fans are good, fanboys are bad. Big difference.
