There are two types of fanboys in the world: those who passionately support a team, product, company or organization in a balanced way, and those who passionately support something to the point of becoming an irrational, spitting tornado of anger. The first type is normal and is the result of a healthy competitive nature. The problem, however, is when a person becomes unwilling to objectively criticize what is being rooted for; criticism that is in the best interest of both the consuming individual and the "team" in question.
The last thing the world needs is another article on fanboys. To highlight them is to encourage them; something most try to avoid. However, we think it's important to admonish their culture in the hopes of changing it. Once that happens, video game culture can only improve. So the next time you're staring at your face in the mirror, ask yourself this question: does this list apply to you?
1. You become upset when something you like is questioned.
2. You are intellectually dishonest.
3. You resort to personal attacks during debate.
4. The defeat of your enemy is more rewarding than your victory.
5. You bring nothing new to a conversation.
6. You are anti-fanboy.
No one is completely devoid of bias, and everyone has a little fanboy in 'em. But extremes should be avoided. Ultimately, fanboyism is just blind consumerism most commonly found during one's formative years; the driving force largely being irrationality. So take heed, gamers. And embrace the idea of a world with a lot less aggravation.
Even 10 years after release, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online's player engagement has risen drastically compared to last year.
The game looks too clean without it.
Always annoying when articles do that.
I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.
i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.
