FANBOYS!!!!

Go to Youtube. Do a search for "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam. Watch it. That's how all fanboys are made. Stamped with a barcode by the corporation at birth on a conveyor belt. That explains your irrational behaviors and over-zealous love for "The Corporation".

See, I see that you see me as someone who sees all you anti-Sony fanboys as some sort of freedom fighters against the Sony corporation.

The reality is that I see all you anti-Sony fanboys as exactly that, anti-Sony fanboys. This anti-Sony fanboy cult that is sweeping teh interwebs is far too popular. We few Sony supporters are the unique ones, the outcasts. I mean it's so much more roomy over here, me and Tondog get lonely sometimes.

And hell, by supporting M$ you're supporting a giant ZOMG EVIL AMERICAN corporation. From your political views Tan I'd assume that that would be the worst thing evar.

So come on over to the Sony side, the water's fine...and only $6 dollars a bottle

Lets put an end to all the fanboy talk for a few weeks.

No comeback eh?

...and a $600 membership fee. And with that you get technology that you'll probably never use, but can brag about to justify your purchase which, deep down, you know you'll regret, but can never admit to others.

$600...a small price to pay for an infinite supply of denial, self-righteousness, and arrogance.

I don't support one company over another. I own whatever has games that please me simple as that. Look at my collection stats and tell me I'm anti-Sony. Just because I poke fun at a bad business decision doesn't mean I'm anti-whoever.

That previous post was made in the hopes everyone would get a good laugh and lighten the mood. Fanboy rants are funny the first thread or two, but not when they pollute news threads. We can't have any Sony or Microsoft threads now without them turning into bash-fests. Maybe we need a sub-forum for fanboy threads to separate it from the constructive posts people may actually want to read.

I'm a big enough man in that I'll admit I've made unnecessary comments in the past in threads best served for news purposes. Now that I have more responsibility here including to help promote this site externally I'll be refraining from it in the future in the hopes that we don't turn into IGN or GameFAQs. Once the front page takes off and news gets posted more frequently I don't want every thread to be sabotaged. News is as much for consumers and gamers as it is fanboys but it comes with a price. You want to bash news fine. Do it somewhere other than the news thread itself and there won't be a problem. Otherwise this site won't be taken seriously or seen as mature and informative. That's a policy I will be the first to say I support, and hope others follow.

I agree and of course I have made all sorts of stupid comments.

Win what? It is not a matter of winning. Its about hijacking threads which we all have done.

If you need to scrape up every measely win you can to prove your manhood young man be my guest. Once your ears dry you can always have a chuckle later on when you realize it's insignifigance. 

I don't want anyone to get the impression they can't speak their mind, or that they can't bash a system, or even god forbid become a raving fanboy. Sometimes it's amusing, others a good way to vent frustration with a product or series. I just don't think it needs to be in a newspost. It's potentially a place where people get information about products, games, and services they may have or want. If newsposts lead to forum discussions about those same posts from the front page I think everyone can agree we don't need it to look like another Joystiq comment section.

Start up a anti-whoever thread and criticize all you want, i'll even post there and we can continue this witty banter  and plan your wedding    I'm just hoping that the anti-whoever doesn't seep into every thread we have that's all. I'm sure even you can agree with that Leon.
