Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



'Fanboy' is not a word I like to just throw around like water, idly affixing the label to everyone I meet. Online, the term fanboy, very much like emo, has become far too easily applied to people who truly don't deserve to be deemed as such. Rather, I feel the term should only be applied to people who fit a certain criteria, with the most tell-tale signs being pure ignorance, obvious insecurity and above all, abject stupidity. If you want a catch-all example of just what it should take to be called a fanboy, simply watch the video above, because the utter moron who made it is like every single fanboy merged into one like the big Critter at the end of Critters 2.  
 
Uploaded by Luxor Studios, a name made funnier by the fact that this has to be a twelve year old kid with emotional issues, we're told in the comments, "This Video was up on Seanluxor. Some stuf Xbox 360 360 fanbaws cant admit." Firstly, I don't know what, exactly, a 'fanbaw' is, but looking at other videos uploaded by Luxor, I see he also thinks the word 'trustible' is in the English language and not part of the bizzare Jupiter dialect that clearly flows from his mouth like a most chunky vomit.
 
As for the video itself, well, Jim is pressed as to where Jim can begin. One of the very first questions in the video is "Was PS3 Sale a flap?" Yes ... a flap. He asks if 'Sale' was a 'flap'. He also tells us that PS3 did 'beter' than Xbox 360 and Wii and that Blu-ray 'maby' more expensive than DVD. Of course, I won't spoil the fun of pointing out all the hilarious spelling errors for yourself. Collect the set, like bike reflectors in boxes of cereal. 
 
Otherwise, this video has to be one of the most pathetic, desperate, self-reassuring pieces of toad semen I've ever had the mispleasure of sitting down to watch. At over five minutes, you can tell this child really wants to convince himself that the PlayStation 3 is the greatest console ever made. Really, who gives a crap that some people are daring to say bad things about your favorite toy? If you're confident of its superiority, you shut the hell up, accept its faults, smile at its successes and go back to enjoying it. Defending a piece of plastic and wires to such a zealous degree is laughable. I've also noticed that the ones who throw the word fanboy around so casually, like this little pudstick, are often the worst examples of it. 
 
I hate Youtube users so damn much. 
 
[Cheers, F1tches]

Jim, man keep this shit coming. Five out of ten of your posts make me fall off my chair in laughter. The spelling mistakes are hilarious and I can see where most of them are coming from phonetically, however 'Fanbaw' just doesn't make anysense. I thought it was just an error until I saw he and others used it repeatedly in the comments. Where the hell did that one come from??

I hope their next video sets us straight on how games like Manhunt 2 turn kids into Gremlins, with video evidence of Mogwai eating after midnight.

namelessted, I was reading your post and I found a couple things that made me ponder.

"4. Metal Gear Solid 4 IS coming to the 360. "

Since when? Explain to me, or show me a link to an article that confirms this. Destructoid doesn't count, being that it's made this claim at least 3 times on the front page - yet it never happens. Destructoid is one of the worst places on the planet to go for MGS4 Exclusivity information - next to an Xbox 360 Fanboy Website.

So a link or something would be greatly appreciated *nod*

"10. It is a good thing he learned how to resize images in mspaint so he could make the PS3 look barely larger than the 360. "

I just leaned back and looked at my 360 and PS3 which are in close proximity. I would have to say he didn't do any editing on those pictures and they're pretty much correct. The height on them is nearly the exact same.

The only reason why they are near equalled in size, is because the actual dimension numbers didn't take the 360 HDD into count - thus filling the remaining height gap that was missing. Now, the side and thickness could ne a whole different issue.

That's all I have to say about that post - I agree with most of the rest. Now then, since it greatly interests me, article please?

I loved every second of that video, things like this remind me that for all my failures and personal problems, there is always some sub human maggot that makes me look like a god in comparison.

Jim Sterling is carrying on the tradition of early videogame journalists, the ones who like to hate the hateful things in life, and thus making the hateful things in life a source of enjoyment by ridiculing them. It's the Charlie Brooker(Creator of Nathan Barley & early videogame journalist) school of hating the hateful, whilst I'm not going to say Jim is quite in his league yet, I will say that he is of the same DNA.

Yeah, Chris Morris is in a league of his own, his Brass Eye series predicted the hysterical nature of mainstream journalism years before "Paedogedden" actually happened for real.

It's disturbing that Chris Morris' piss takes always turn into reality, the latest banning of Manhunt 2 follows the same crazy logic as one of his Brass Eye episodes "The DNA of a paedophile has more in common with this crab than you or I, there's no scientific evidence for this, it's just true."

It is considered common knowledge that MGS4 will make its way onto other consoles eventually, like the previous MGS.

Its laughable(the video) besides spelling mistakes (Fanbaw? Flap?) The kid says PS3 is beating the Nintendo Wii! Since when?

Also, the 360 add-ons are just that. Add-ons. Doesn't mean everybody will buy it along with their 360.

PS3 has potential, and Sony won't go away any time soon.
We didn't need a stupid video to tell us that though.

Kind of funny that he/she compares the sizes of the PS3 and the X-box 360. They are roughly, almost, the same size, and then he opinionatedly the size of the X-box 360's "brick". Cheer up, emo kid. Cheer up! I was the same way with the N64 until I changed my ways and bought a Playstation.

True to Desucktoid fashion, when it's a slow day, turn to hashing on a lame youtube entry from an eager 12 year old 'cuz it's a surefire way to bash Sony and boy howdy, that NEVER gets old.

That's comedy fucking gold right there.
All of his information was so fucking wrong and so poorly typed that I can't even take his points seriously. Even for a 12 year old this kid is unreasonably dumb. To tell you the truth, I think this would make even a person pro-ps3 laugh their ass off.

And if you want really fucking funny, freeze frame it when he shows the list of games. He spells Time Crisis wrong, lists a bunch of names to games it sounds like he made up, lists fatal inertia(which is no longer exclusive), and ends with this...
AND MORE!!!

Exactly. This shit's funny no matter what side of the console war you're on. I wish some sensitive types would see it that way though.

@Dennen and anybody else wondering about MGS4 on the 360

I use destructoid as my source. Why shouldn't that count Dennen? Ron "The Innernet" Workman says that it is happening, that is enough for me. If you don't think that is a good enough source then you will be surprised when its officially announced.

I have a feeling that the little bastard who made this video is related to the little bastard who threw a fit when his mom told him to turn off WoW. If I turned out this crap when I was 12, my dad would beat me. Now I wish to beat these children. It's a workout for me, and they stop doing stupid shit.

It's known as pear-to-pear pearenting.

I couldn't even make it past the 1 minute mark. Fanboy is just another word for kid, after all. Anyone who's old enough to have a job and calls himself a gamer will inevitably buy more than one console, and doesn't have the time to argue over which is best. Thus! You can always tell who the kids are when you visit sites like this.

@namelessted

I don't doubt that it MAY eventually be released on the 360. But was it confirmed? No. Was it currently in movement to be converted? As of the word so far - no. That was my point, as well as the same point with anyone else. It was no different than this kid saying that the PS3 is the best console in the world. For all we know, it MAY happen - it may not. But premature announcements only cause for funny faces to be made at the sheer idea.

The topic of "MGS4 No Longer Exclusive" has been posted and reposted on Destructoid time and time ago. Forum and front page together have seen this same announcement over 5 times. How many times must this be rumored before it's true?

If that's the process we use for confirmation. Then here's a rumor. Sony & Microsoft are in the process of merging *nod*

Just for an additional note. I am not saying that Destructoid is terrible with news releases. It is just that rumors tend to be flown around here as common fact. Take the Beautiful Katamari thing, it was announced here as a confirmation. Yet new videos of it still have the PS3 logo. I am completely confused as to whether or not it was confirmed - being that no other news source seems to have made mention of it.

@the mgs4 discussion:

"Hideo Kojima has no intentions of bringing E3 favorite Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to the Xbox 360. Or any other Metal Gear Solid game, for that matter."

He had no intentions of making a MGS3 or 4 now did he? But it happened nonetheless. Money Talks. So while there are no confirmations, I trust in Destructoid and my own gut to tell me that it will happen. Money Talks.
