My First Encounter With A Xbox360 Fanboy
MellowBunny | 10:32 AM on 11.17.2009 25 comments


First of all I think this generation of consoles all have their share of problems. I personally prefer my PS3 and Wii for my gaming. That's just me, but if there is anything I hate more in this world is fanboys/girls of any system.

So yesterday I was waiting for my ECE class to start and I had about an hour to kill so I thought why not play some Mario&Luigi 3. I'm sitting in the hallway and across from me was three guys talking and here I am just trying to beat some monsters with bowser. Till some muscular guy comes up to me and said "Just wanted to say you get some mad points for playing video games. We need more girls playing video games" and I said back to him "Thanks I guess....I just got a PS3." Then he starts saying bullshit to me that annoyed the hell out of me. This is how the conversation goes:

Fanboy: Oh I couldn't get a PS3 since ALL Sony products break and I heard a lot of PS3s break easily.

Me: *Having a surprised look on my face* Well I've had my PS2 since 2002 and it still works still this DAY!

Fanboy: Wow... thats the first time I've heard that from someone. Xbox360 the best system to have now since it doesn't break as easily as Sony stuff.

Looking very dumbfounded by what he said. Me: What the hell are you talking about!? I never heard of the PS3 breaking on anyone and even if it does happen thats rare. It's not like the Xbox360 that seems to have more problems with the whole Red Ring of Death and other issues. Thats why I rather have a PS3 since I need a system that can last long time.

Fanboy: Whatever. I'm not sure where you hear your information from, but it most be IGN or magazine.

Me: Actually I get my information from Destructoid.

Fanboy: Never heard of it.

Me: It's a community for gamers. It's like a blog community you can say and they have updated news about video games. Even Kotaku has stuff too.

Fanboys: Oh one of those nerdy sites. Nah, I don't really go on them. They seem too nerdy for me.

Goes on to say other shit that got me mad. Saying things like the Wii isn't a real gaming system and Sony has no good games to play. After what he said about the Wii and PS3 I just left. Honestly don't care about which system is the best because at the end of the day I just play video games for fun. After that talk I really felt bad for him because he was a fanboy that most likely doesn't remember why he even plays video games in the first place.

So that was my first encounter with a Xbox360 fanboy. I never met and Wii fanboy/girl or a PS3 fanboy/girl yet. I don't think I want to any time soon. I can't deal with close minded gamers, it makes my head hurt.

I actually love fanboys. They're hilarious, and this hobby wouldn't be the same without them.

That was worst than a fanboy if you ask me, it was an uninformed xbox fanboy douchebag.

I had one of those in college. Ranting about how we only play games and we're losers, but once halo 3 comes out, the whole world revolves around him and precious console. They're douchebags.

I have a sony fanboy friend. He's allright but don't try to reason with him, headaches ensues. Well, headaches is what you get with whatever fanboy you encounter.

That's pretty epic. "Bla bla bla I don't know anything about videogames." "Bla bla bla all my friends have 360s so that's what's manly."

Fanboys aren't bad, it's just the ones who refuse to acknowledge the benefits of another console. My brother is a 360 fanboy that constantly hates on my PS3 and Wii. But he loves the PS2.

Yeah I struggle to deal with fanboys in real life too. I can see people acting out on the internet just to be anonymous douches but acting like that in real life too!? Well I guess there are fanboys in all walks of life. Just read the comments section of ESPN or any climate-change topic. You'll want to gouge out your eyes.

I don't think i've ever met someone that deranged and stupid. I would have grabbed his head and cracked it on the nearest sharp corner. Not because he's a fanboy perse but rather because he's a fucking retard and it should be done on principle.

My motto. No quarter for the stupid. No life for the undeserving.

WTF IS A DESTRUCTOID?

It's sad that people actually think like this. Some of the greatest franchises and games aren't always all on one console.

a Musclely guy that plays video games? They are just as rare as gaming girls *GASP* you should have caught it in your Pokeball!

I have a few friends who own 360's and I don't and even though we all love our systems and games there is no crazy BS rants going on. We drink beer and game and it's fun, so ass beer and any system become a winer!

How about Fanboys pushing consoles to customers @ video games stores? I've seen it happen a few times and I just chuckle to myself.

sounds more like your typical idiot jock than a fanboy, equally as annoying in my opinion though.

What an ass, like you'd be all gushing over with happiness because he approves of your hobby. Should have told him it was a shame he was an douche bag because we don't need more of those.
