Whore Daddy: People who cry “fanboy!”

Seriously. No one can say anything on this amazing system of tubes we call the internet without some other loud mouth yelling “you’re a –fill in the blank– fanboy!” What’s the deal with that? In particular I’m pointing my finger over at most of those jackoffs over at Digg.com who instantly claimed we’re fanboys because of Phil’s Metroid Prime 3 post yesterday. Phil was attacking Gameslop, and instantly every Xbox/PS3 moron comes out of the woodwork and calls us fanboys because they clearly don’t have a brain cell in their head. People were not much smarter with Steve’s comments on the Xbox360’s birth into our world either.

Well, to them I say: screw you! Maybe try reading the article instead of instantly jumping on any one of the band wagons out there…considering that between all of us here on the Shamoozal staff we probably own every single gaming console that ever existed in the universe known to mankind. You certainly can not call us fanboys.

hahahahah, that picture is awesome.

I don’t know why you let people on the internet get to you so much. Who cares what they say? Seriously. Does it really matter?

hmmm…. yeah let us start a list of the consoles we own, lets see (in order of ownership as well):

TI99/4A
Intellivision
Atari 2600
NES
Nintendo GameBoy
SNES
Genesis
N64
PS2
Gamecube
Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP
Dreamcast
Nintendo DS
PS3
Wii

That is just my collection. Never got a Comador64 or the other Sega systems because friends had them. And yes, you will note that for me, both the XBox and XBox360 are prominently missing from that list. Personally I have felt that they are no better then a PC, which I own several of (and almost always one that is extremely up to date). Finished building my last PC only 2 months ago, and already have plans to upgrade the one that I built just last October with parts from the current PC when I upgrade it to Penryn and the Nvidia 9xxx series graphics card in a month. No need to get the XBox when just about any game on it that is decent gets a PC port within 6 months (or dual release). I personally prefer the mouse a thousand times over a gamepad for FPS games, and for the other games, well, I can just hook up a XBox controller to the USB port on the PC if I want… Rock Band might be the only game to make me want to get an XBox because the multiplayer online stuff is being forced by MS to not allow cross platform with their system to others (the old, we won’t play with anyone else, we will make our own sandbox and you can play in it without using our tools and paying our entrance fee and you can’t take the toys that you bring in here to another sandbox… The same old thing that MS does to everything, like the http protocol. It is a freaking inter-national standard, yet they decide to make IE and their own IIS server have things that are not in the standard and won’t even implement the features that are in the standard. This is why we have all these F’ed-up webpages that only work with IE…)
