TRON.dll's Encyclopedia of Fanboys

Post by TRON.dll »

This is the encyclopedia of fanboys. Feel free to comment. I'll update this thread and post when I add updates. Sorted by company in no particular order. Enjoy! :-D

TRON.dll's Encyclopedia of Fanboys contains information on fanboys since the GCN, PS2, XBOX, DS, GBA, and PSP generation (and some Sega; Just for fun)

Sega:
------------
Genesis - 3 listings

Sega Genesis fanboy - Generally aims towards Super Nintendo and ignores Phillips CDi and 3DO threats. Generally boasts about blast processing.

Sega CD fanboy - Like a Genesis fanboy, ignores CDi and 3DO and aims at SNES. Generally rants about how CD's are cool and they have Dragon's Lair.

Sega 32X fanboy - Ignores CDi and 3DO while attacking SNES owners. Fairly small numbers and quite rare. Brags about how much better their graphics are than SNES.
------------
Nintendo:
------------
Gamecube - 1 listing

Gamecube fanboy - Quite rare, if any. Likely a very violent individual who couldn't find anyone to pick on last-gen.
------------
Nintendo Wii - 2 listings

Wii fanboy - Very common. Standard rants involve sales figures, "gameplay is most important", or "good graphix sux"; Primary reason behind gimped games on the Wii.

Wii Online Fanboy - One who rants about the Wii's online services. Usually saying how they don't have to pay for it and how they don't want DLC. They also yell about how "lag doens't matter".
------------
Nintendo DS - 0 listings
------------
Sony:
------------
Playstation 2 - 1 entry

Playstation 2 fanboy - Like Gamecube fanboys; quite rare.
------------
Playstation 3 - 1 entry

Playstation 3 fanboy - Due to the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII coming to Xbox 360, these numbers are steadily increasing. Typically jabbing Microsoft customers with the "Insert disk 56" joke and how the PS3 version of that game will be superior. They also tend to write out extremely long posts about how they trusted Square Enix.
------------
Platstation Portable - 0 entries
------------
Microsoft:
------------
XBOX - 3 entries

XBOX fanboys - Like Gamecube fanboys; quite rare.

XBOX 360 fanboys - Very agressive. Typical rants are aimed at the Wii or Nintendo in general. Praises Playstation 3 and it's owners. Treats Bill Gates as a God. Typical rant against the Wii is simply "it sucks". Nintendo customers should call 911 or animal control upon visual contact.

XBOX Live fanboys - Act as if paying for Live is a favor from Microsoft. Mainly made up of XBOX 360 fanboys (see "XBOX 360 fanboys" - entry 2 under Xbox - located under Microsoft). Typical rants involve bragging about "no lag", gamertags and achivements.
------------
Other:
------------
Harmonix - 2 entries

Rock Band fanboys - Rant against all Guitar Hero games. General rants include "Guitar Hero copying Rock Band" and supurior multiplayer experience.

Early Guitar Hero game fanboys - Rant against Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero III, and Guitar Hero World Tour. They are pro-Guitar Hero I, II, and, in rare cases, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's.
------------
RedOctane - 3 entries

General Guitar Hero fanboys - Generally hate Rock Band because "it copied Guitar Hero". Rant against anyone who owns Rock Band. Also dislikes "Battle of the Bands" or any other Guitar Hero knockoff like "Rock Revolution" and "Ultimate Band".

Advanced Guitar Hero fanboys - Hates the gameplay of Rock Band and therefore hates the main premise of "Guitar Hero World Tour".

RedOctane fanboys - Hates anything Harmonix. Also dislikes the following bands:

Monkey Steals the Peach
Freezepop

My favorite part so far:
Nintendo customers should call 911 or animal control upon visual contact.
I added a Sega section, just for fun. :-D

I updated the PS3 entry as well as the General Guitar Hero entry. The PS3 fanboy population increase appears to have been triggered by Square Enix's announcement about a 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII.
