Well done Blerk!
Now you’ll have to trade that PS3 kit for a 360 one at blockies..
Really nice idea Pat, I do dread to think what your Post Office bill will be like mind!
And i even got a mention.

Oh and Pud, you’ve got two more reasons to get a 360 now.

Holy shit! I really don’t know what to say. Other than that I really hope my boss doesn’t read the site.
Group hug for all but the scariest of posters!

My brother-in-law has a PS3, so I shall gift the Guitar Hero to him and his kids for Christmas, as long as they promise not to film me playing it and post it on the internet.
Dead Space is also suitable for kids, right?

The competition for the best gayer poster would’ve been tighter then?

One thing I would like to know. How did a filthy xbot like morriss not end up higher in the fanboy category?
I sense deception…

Blerk, you’re supposed to thank you family, Jesus, the old guy down the street, for where you are today.
All that sort of stuff.
shatner: I hope you enjoy Spyro. <3

Alas, I already possess a purple headed beast so Spyro can’t truly compete.
In the spirit of Christmas and all that, I’d like to donate my prize to the author of the [i]fifth[/i] post below this one.
Congratulations to all the worthy winners.

Well it won’t be me. No Spyro for me…
All that purple makes me feel nauseous.

I do thank you and all of your friends for voting for me Newbie. Sadly 3 votes clearly wasn’t enough to influence the result.

ME! Hey cool I win. Now, if I can persuade Blerk to swap the 360 Spyro for the PS3 Dead Space things will be hunky dory.

We’ll by the looks of it PT (if it is in order), you got more thoughts than morriss!

Sorry, g00nerz – I’ve already promised to gift that away as well, in an unbridled moment of generosity.

Hahahah…… Hahahahahah….
Man….
Swapsies anyone?
And Shatner who I don’t believe has a 360 got the other 360 game…. Ahhh VG247, I love you.
Thanks Pat, I am just deciding what to do, whether to get them and give it to my mates, or let someone else have it here.
Fanboy!? I blame Psychotext.

Sorry to disappoint pud, I’ve got the whole set of current consoles, heck, I still have my original last-gen Xbox set up. I’ve even got a goddamn Wii (only for Metroid and Galaxy, I ain’t no soccermom).

Thanks to your ultimate PS-tripple-ism, no-one can accuse me of being the ‘biggest fanboy around’ ever again!
Keep it up fella…
LOL!

Yeh….
Sorry world, for my heinous crimes.
I think I improved over the course of the year, since when I came here I was a raging fanboy. Now I feel a lot more neutral. Neutral than say, someone who think he’s helped develop my impartiality.
Mwuahahah
