The Seven Main Types of Fanboys...

There are thousands of types of fanboys in the world. However, we have all seen "the seven". The worst of them all, or at least the ones that speak the loudest. The ones that make even car brand fanboys seem like geniuses... But which is the worst of the worst?

Is it the snooty fanboys of AMD, who know they currently have the better product and want EVERYONE to know it?

Or perhaps the desperate fanatics supporting Intel, clinging to rumors of the company's future products?

Is it the hypocritical folks behind nVidia, who praise something non-stop until ATI does it better?

Or is the blind that stand by ATI, who refuse to ever acknowledge that nVidia did it first to begin with?

Can anything stand to the ignorance of Xbox fanboys, who refuse to accept simple truths constantly?

What about the stubborn, obsessive fans of Nintendo, who they are sure is the only game company that ISN'T evil?

Or the elitist followers of Sony, who live upon sales figures which they use to triumph every point against them?

You'd swear that the brand loyalty was in their very blood. The seven deadly sins squirm from just thinking about this seven. They will stop at nothing to spar endlessly upon message boards and chat rooms across the Internet, harming not each other but leaving a trail of destruction and ignorance.

Can anything stop them?

They're just as bad as the domestic fanboys.

I don't know what kind of car enthusiast can't appreciate both at the same time.

Apple "fanboys" never bother me, so I don't consider them fanboys. Perhaps they know that I am already tainted by Windows, and I am thus too unclean for their holy goods. Or rather, they are probably figuring out how to get through this Intel switch without looking like hypocrites.

But really, any Apple fan I've ever met... simply likes Apples.

Now, a list of things to HATE hearing each fanboy say:

AMD - "Well the Winny 3000+ chips can overclock to 2.6 Ghz on air! OMG PRESHOTT!"
Intel - "65 nm! 65 nm! 65 nm! Intel's future cores will kill everything, all hail the Pentium M!!!"
nVidia - "SM3.0 and SLi! The G70 in SLi will PWN EVERYTHING! ATI's R520 will be delayed for months too!"
ATI - "R520, 32 Pipelines! Crossfire! 32 pipelines! Crossfire!"
Xbox - "POWER GRAPHICS HALO UR KIDDY LOL ONLY XBOX HAS ONLINE GAME!!!"
Nintendo - "Innovation is all that matters, and Sony and M$ ripped all their ideas from Nintendo."
Sony - "Does your system have third-party support like MGS, Final Fantasy, Killzone, DMC, and SOCOM? Didn't think so."

Ah, trolling fanboys... Can't live with 'em, can't live... no, wait, you CAN live without them. Easily. And happily.
 
Apple fanboys amuse me. ESPECIALLY since the news of the Intel switch hit the street. They walk around aimlessly now, as if the reality distortion field just completely collapsed and they are faced with the crushing force known as "the world." I actually saw one shedding a tear as he peeled his iMac sticker off his explorer's rear window.
 
what about gamer ones? CS1.6 is better than CSS thats an endless fight on gamer forums... same as it was with CS1.5 and 1.6 and before that and before that.....
