arguing with a corporate fanboi is like teaching special education.
even if you teach him something...at the end of the day he's still retarded.

funny stuff
LOL!
I can already think of a few names that follow those rules to the letter.....
Wow, thanks for that. Nice read

Wow... those 10 rules hit the nail on the head. I can think of a few posters that sound just like that.
"Do not fret! Your captain is about to enter Valhalla!" - General Beatrix of Alexandria
"The acquisition of knowledge is of use to the intellect, for nothing can be loved or hated without first being known." - Leo da Vinci
This bit is priceless... And mentions our "favorite" game corporation even:
8: Justify even the stupidest decisions/games:
Even though your paragon of perfection is completely flawless, sometimes a corporation might make a bad decision, or your favorite videogame may have some flaws -- stick up for them, and act like they are, in fact, the best things ever. Sony wants to make arrogant PR statements when it's trailing in sales? Claim they have a right to be arrogant, because Blu-ray is the future. Nintendo wants to focus on casual gamers now? That's awesome. You never much liked being a hardcore gamer anyway. It's simple.
This is doubly important if you're a console fanboy and an exclusive videogame has come out. Even if the game is pure shit, you must champion it to the last man, because it is exclusive, thus anybody who insults the game is insulting your chosen system, thus insulting YOU by proxy. So, if someone says they think Mass Effect is rubbish, you need to deride them as a Sony fanboy who just hates Microsoft because of BIAS. A friend of yours not keen on Heavenly Sword? Call them something really witty like an "XBot" and tell them to "Go back to GAYLO!"
Nobody talks about YOUR man, girlfriend!
My prediction: This thread brings out the "usual suspect" fanboi trolls who will flame, troll, harass with the usual impunity until they get it locked/deleted.
So much of what they do in this forum follows those 10 rules precisely.
There are two types of fanbois... The brainwashed, and the paid shill (actual employees or those paid off). The only difference between the two (they follow the 10 rules) is that the latter group is at least being paid to make themselves look like fools.
Damn, I was safe until #10.
