Fanboy Friday: Tin Foil Edition photo

It's time for another video post! You know the drill by now -- just random idiotic videos people have decided to throw on the internet of them bitching and whining about the consoles they don't own/like and the people who play them.

Hit the jump and let's get started.

OK OK OK SO OK OK SO OK OK CHEEAAAPPPPPPPP ALSO ALSO ALSO DUMB PAYING TIN FOIL OK I HAVE BOTH CONSOLES OK

I think this guy might be pissed off.

WELL, I'M CERTAINLY CONVINCED.

This is a repost of an older video that disappeared from YouTube that we haven't posted before. This guy is INTERNET FAMOUS. And in honesty, his argument that Talledaga Nights was bundled with PS3s is probably the most solid argument I've heard AGAINST the PS3. That movie is awful.

I think this is the first Australian fanboy we've featured. (Note: Gimp means geek or nerd in Australian, not 'bondage sub'.) Dinosaur weener!

I want to talk about this upcoming for a second. Originally, I was sent an email from these guys begging me to feature them, and of course my first instinct was to ignore them.

This is what I was sent: Not sure how familier you are with GeneralMLD on Youtube but he set up a forum for us and you should visit and hopefully feature us on Fanboy Friday. We aim to be the worst community of fanboys on the internet and in the short time of our forum he have built a reputation.A lot of people hate us and we hope of keep it that way.As a mod i can say that at least a quarter of our membership has been banned.Some for simply speaking good about the PS3(Bannable offence lol) others for flaming and trolling etc

For the sheer audacity of begging to be featured, I wanted nothing to do with them, and I didn't even bother visiting their site. Apparently though, they've angered EL PRESADOR and the Trey Brotherhood, because I heard a bunch of references about them while combing through videos, and ended up coming across GeneralMLD on my own. So, as much as it pains me, I'm going to feature them for the simple fact that the Trey Brotherhood's recent videos have been almost entirely about them. 

Just so we're clear guy who sent me the email, I think you're a huge tard, and I'm not linking to your forums.

That said, the "Xbox 360 Republic" now exists, and is the 360s answer to the Trey Brotherhood, so I can't ignore them forever. Here it is. Also, this guys accent confuses me.

And finally, here's a new video from one of the Trey Brotherhood members. I don't even know what to say about this one.

Ugh.

This Trey Brotherhood and 360 "Republic" (BTW basing a nationless government around a heartless corporate product?) seem like its going to end in someone getting shot and some sort of gang war will start ruining the rest of our lives.

All of them are irrelevant, basing their entire lives around defending companies who don't really care about any of them individually. The only reason I can think of Sony or Microsoft tolerating them is simply for profit and free marketing.

Well the forth guy does have some valid points. Halo's story really is pretty weak, especially compered to games like HF2. Too bad hes a dick.

Yeah I prefer writing. I always stop halfway through the videos because honestly I can't believe these guys are actually serious. They're so ridiculous I have to believe they're just attention whores.

Writing is different.

I have half a mind to just fuck with these guys and make a video response about my desktop. I could do it...if I decided to suddenly give a fuck.

I would rather die from a Zombie apocalypse than ELPRESADOR's tyrannical "Tr3y Brotherhood". He is their leader right?

wow. I feel slightly dumber for watching these guys.

The guy in the cowboy hat is surprisingly the least retarded and most creative.

Seriously though, why do people fight about this crap.

Someone needs to tell them it's not really a "console war". It's a few companies competing with each other. I think I've compared these guys to some sports fans and I think the comparison works: they have a dislike for each other out of some misplaced loyalty for an entity that wants their money, not their undying loyalty and love. When you let any business (or the stupid part of your brain) convince you otherwise, you become delusional suckers like these people.

Actually, gimp means disabled person or retard (never used as anything but an insult / joking self-referential).

I still don't believe these people exist. While it is more forgivable for a child to be airing his 'complaints' against another console, it being downright shocking to see an adult complaining.

I dont understand WHY they need to make videos on this, why are they insulted by other peoples choice of something as petty as a console? On top of this, it just seems weird you'd form such a solid alliance to a single piece of technology.

They are all children, its videos (and opinions) like these that ruin everything good and pure. The zealotism they create over something as meaningless over what a stranger does with their freetime literally melts my mind (yes, literally).

...PC is the best.

So I finished the videos and the last two...fascinate me. I dunno why. First off that guys responds was just horrible. He addressed none of MLD's criticisms. Ironic because that was one of his criticisms.

I almost wanna follow these guys and their video food fights. It's bad and nonsensical but I really wanna see how deep of a hole they can dig.

This also cements Jim's "PS3 fanboys are the worst," argument. Seriously what a poor rebutle.

I can see it all now ...

The expansionist Xbox 360 Republic and the anarchist Trey Brotherhood have been fighting a genocial war for years on end.

Random acts of terrorism are countered by brutal government crackdowns and mass evacuations as ordinary gamers are forced to flee their homes. Natural disasters appear to increase in influence as the very fabric of the world is rent by 720p graphics.

Meanwhile, an alliance between the city-states of Windrunner, Inkwell, and Iridium is forced to militarize as their newfound prosperity is placed under attack by bandits and dissidents.

More casualties pile up every day. The journeyman base-builder, the retired ODST fighter, the children of the Neverwinter refugees forced to flee again, all have lost hope. Can a peaceful solution be found? Or will the battles continue until one side has totally PWNED the others? Keep reading to find out!

A few year back I had an idea of an MMO that was literally just a war town where fanboys could tear each other to bits. Each side had special abilities based on their console/companies advantage over the others. It was neat.

Anyway the plot sounded a lot like that.

Thanks, Xzyliac. I've wanted to do this for quite some time, but the opportunity never came up. The best thing is the options are endless based on the histories of individual games.

If you ever want any help with your MMO (though it sounds more like an RTS to me), you know how to contact me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love these video editions simply because I enjoy seeing the stupid in the eyes of these fanboys.

Case in point:

I'm pretty sure gimp still refers to an snm role here too. Never heard anyone anywhere ever refer to a nerd or geek as a gimp. Eh.

I'll never understand why people get ANGRY at things they don't like. Why did Gapteeth Jones have to YELL at Wii Music? There's a significant difference between something not pleasing you and something displeasing you.

But look at me, trying to use logic on fanboys.

Also, I love how a) 80% of these videos involve the person laughing derisively at his opponents and b) 0% of them actually pulling off a convincing, genuine laugh. It's like watching a bunch of middle schoolers try to act.
