why post about something you could have told yourself looking into a mirror

That's your come back? A lengthy version of "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?"
This doesn't just apply to you TEA, especially as your contributions have improved *vastly* over the last six months.
I'm just sick of all the pathetic willy waving in the comments. It's juvenile and annoying.
VG247's comments section tends to be filled with smarter-than-average posts, but the platform fanboys always lower the tone. Occasionally it's funny (and funny to lay bait as well), but recently its started to get ridiculous.

I think in all fairness a lot of it is down to the site getting much busier.
I would much rather see a busy board with some fan boys rather than the opposite.I think for the most part when you consider there is a no ban policy the behaviour is pretty OK.
I like the odd barney now and then once there is a bit of logic behind it.
Just my thoughts on it.

Some of it gets really pathetic when neither side is willing to admit the strengths of the other platform or the weaknesses of their own.

I was accused to be a ps3 fanboy in one thread, an xbot the other.
good times!Posted 3 years ago # -
Stickboy you're a XBOT, you say some stupid stuff from time to time also. So when things get out of hand just let it be. If there are people on here spreading lies and talking BS then its up to everyone to either shut up or correct that person. Stop whining and get a girlfriend you loser. This site is not real life. We all don't have to come in with $2000 Armani suits and act like we are eating at a 5 star restaurant.
Instead of bitching about fanboys, educate them with the truth and common sense so they won't go on a rabid ranting spree on why their console is better than the other. Then, when or if they return to VG247 they will put on their $2000 Armani suits and act like they are at a 5 star respectable website
One more thing. I've almost had it up to my neck with you crying and stomping when someone proves you wrong then you run here to the forums where you can bitch and whine until you get enough supporters to feel sorry for you. Some words of advice, don't think you can get away with it too many more times because I'll be the first person in line to shut your little cry baby ass up for good. Now go play some video games and be a "GOOD"boy.

Awww, did I hit a raw nerve? Must be all those hormones - puberty's like that, IIRC.
Anyway, as for the eduction bit... there have been several comments threads where people have tried to raise a debate to an intellectual level - citing examples and so forth - only to come up against a brick wall from the offending party (read: platform fanboy). If somebody's got their metaphorical fingers stuck in their virtual ears, there's not much of a chance for a sensible, reasoned discussion.

yea and that wall is usually built by the xbox fanboys

I've never really understood that "fanboy" degree of corporate loyalty. Always found it totally alien. Unless you're getting paid a salary by them you should never wave the flag for them imo.
Still better here than it is over on EG. Given the amount of EG regs here I'm not sure how that's happened :) Unless it's just an unwritten understanding that this place has somehow to remain unsullied.

This thread by Stickboy = Irony.

You clearly don't read all my posts if you think that I'm a fanboy of anything besides Gemma Atkinson.

I dont need to read all of your posts to see that you're a fanboy, just the ones trolling PS3 related articles.
Posted 3 years ago # -
How about the ones trolling X360 ones? Makes me a funny kind of fanboy…
Btw, there' a *huge* difference between systematically trolling for or against a platform, and trying to get a rise out of TEA or BDH ;)

Gemma Atkin$on is rubbish.

I love it how the only people who shout "fanboy" are the basically the PS3 fanboys. It's not just on here either, it's widespread. Every games forum you go on the PS3 lot are on the defensive.
Tragic, really. It's just a machine, innit.

What Mike said.
If you point something out about a PS3 game, holy hell, can't do that. I say UC2 is over rated, and damn open the flood gates, I am branded a xbot for life. But as is often the case the guys that are yelling "Fanboy" are usualy the fanboys.

Like the article about Uncharted 2 being what it is mainly due to the PS3's tech being seen as a dig at the 360 therefore it must be corporate lies?
Yeah, only 'PS3 Fanboys' are on the defensive /rolls eyes.

You're both as bad as each other, I'd say.
In fairness, nobody said it was corporate lies - just PR bullshit. I for one agree with the questioner - from next year, I genuinely do think we'll start to see PS3 games really pull ahead of X360 ones in terms of GFX. Well, first-party ones at least if Bayonetta's anything to go by.

a machine you despise very much. Now that's tragic.
Stickbot just STFU GEK has your number just like everyone else.Posted 3 years ago # -
Says who - you? There are things I don't like about it, sure - and there are plenty of things I don't like about X360m as well.
The thing that I most dislike about both consoles though, are its fanboys.

Awww, you're so cute. It's like you're really here, rather than some anonymous moron at the other end of the internet. Thanks, TEA!
