It's time for the once-a-month fanboy video post! It's mostly what you'd expect -- a bunch of stupid kids making videos of themselves, and in one instance breaking some expensive electronics. If anyone knows what drives these people to publicly humiliate themselves like this, please tell me.
Hit the jump and prepare to feel bad about humanity.
My favorite part about this (and most of these videos) is they make some halfassed attempt to act like they're being unbiased. Because saying "I like this game" before launching into a bunch of fanboy idiocy totally excuses it.
I'm not a fanboy, but I like the PS3 and the 360 sucks.
Here we see the rare Wii fanboy make a failed attempt at humor.
If I was this kid's parents, he'd be getting a one way ticket to boarding school. Sadly, considering how badly they raised him already, they'll probably just buy him another one.
This isn't a video per say, but the audio is ridiculous enough to get it included. This is the dumbest idea for a video "series" I've ever seen, and it's not even funny to boot.
That's all I got this week. Expect some great stuff next edition once Mass Effect 2 is out!
Jonathan Ross is an Associate Editor in Los Angeles who is obsessed with capybaras. Like, seriously, obsessed. If he's not playing Team Fortress 2 or getting into arguments about why PC gaming is superior, he's either off having a fancy dinner with lots of expensive wine, or sitting on the Destructoid IRC complaining that's he's not off having a fancy dinner.
Likes: Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter, Steam, everything Blizzard and Valve have ever made, playing Angry Birds on the toilet.

Wait wait wait, let me get this straight, that spoiled rotten child smashed a PSP with a hammer because it didn't have a battery cover? And then proceeded to complain that it always needed WIFI to get on the internet? I hope his parent's saw the shattered PSP on garage floor and beat the shit out of him, because I would have if I bought my child something expensive like that and he just destroys it because of a stupid battery cover which could of been remedied by buying a battery pack or on those handles with the battery built in. Idiot.
I feel sorry for these kids. When I was younger I made radio shows with a friend that I would be embaressed if everyone heard them. These poor kids grow up in a world where the entire planet can see their embaressing shit.
My braincells are evaporating by just watching these videos. Wait, can that really happen to my brain? SEE! I ju5t pr0ved my own poin7! OH GOD TEH H0RR0RZ!!! OH NOSE I R US1NG L337SP34KSORZZ! MY BR41N55SS5S!!!!1!11!!one
That kid's not all that bad with his Microsoft Movie Maker. Hell, most people twice his age wouldn't even know how to start that program. Kudos! As far as the video itself goes, it sucked. Kudos anyways!
Funny, when the Destroyer of PSP's said "Why are you exposed to the world?" (which I didn't entirely get - was he talking about the lidless battery?) that's EXACTLY what I was thinking about him.
I'm willing to give credit where credit is due, though: that was an unbelievably thorough destruction job.
And a fanboy's rant is signifcantly more terrifying when delivered in a serious, monotone, computerized voice.
All in all, this month's videos were much shorter, but in no way any less painful.
That kid in the psp video...was he actually trying to destroy a battery with a hammer? I really wish it had exploded in his face for his retardation. Waste of a handheld that I wish I had. -.-
...*hangs head in reverence*
Deities up in the sky? TPL? Chet? Just know, we aren't all idiots like these people. Remember them when you put Darwinism into effect. Thanks.
That kid is the most retarded Hammer-swinger ever.
Fasten it down with your hands, a clamp, or tape, than commence beating you PSP by holding the hammer at the back (for the least recoil), swinging down with your arm and finishing of the swing with a flick of the wrist.
I swear, if I was that child's parents that bought him a PSP I would beat him so hard. My father recently bought me a PSP, and I was and still am extremely grateful.
Omg, I was in the NMH2 review video of IGN and I tell some guy that his complains are very wrong... He told me "You got life"?... I said " better than yours"...
My god. I don't care how much a console sucks, you do not need to destroy it like a spoiled brat. Ever heard of charity? I swear, people like the hammer kid should be thrown off a cliff.
I actually watched the other videos to the little brat with the hammer. Oh God... he hammers his cell phone because he doesn't get free texting, the PSP just for no battery cover, and the DS Lite because of both screens being cracked (which looks like something done with a... oh I don't know... A HAMMER!). And he had Soulja Boy playing during the DS video, which I can't stand. Let's hope that when God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster comes down to Earth to do judgement, they either curse him to doom or just give him indestructible electronics. I wish I could find him and slap him for his stupidity...
notes from the idiot, psp version
there were 2 people (you can see him in the last couple of seconds. This means that there were two people this idiotic. That is pretty disturbing
Why does he have four tools? Is the PSP going to put up a fight?
Finally, has he not heard of the f***ing warranty?!

All of those were so painful, I just couldn't watch the entire video.
Those people could live in my city for all I know. I'm afraid to go outside now.
Offensive insults fall flat when he has no clue what the word "difference" means!
I'm sorry ladies. This bar is closed.
...
Oh god. At least most were short! But that kid who just wailed on his PSP for four and a half minutes? ... /facepalm
Wow,the first video was all I could take. Here's hoping their house was burning down around them while they filmed that.

I'm going to go back to playing my dumb old PlayStation . . .

That last video was amazing hahaha.

OMG
Well Mr. Fartypants, lets go fact check your claim:
PC Port GTA: Oct 97
PS1 Port GTA: Feb 98
Sorry, had to do that. GTA1 was the only reason I bought a PC back in the day. =P
Aah... Windows '98.
I think his distortion of reality technically proves his Fanboyism. >.>

"I'm not a fanboy! I like the PS3, I like the 360, on occasions, but it sucks!"
