Dringo, er-no and those other people that garbe is talking about are just a bunch of whinny bi-atches. Why dont you just shut your mouths and stop dissin people. Which type of w*nker creates a thread dissing someone!
Since when does 'Garbe being a fanboy' have anything to do with "Microsoft- Xbox & Windows"?

It seems like rival gangs emerging here? (westside story anyone?)

You bwoys better act right before you get smacked right!

Garbe, you seem to have missed the point.

Dringo knows you're not a fanboy, not in the way that we use it.
But neither are we.

I'm not sure how well you read or understood my posts, but any criticisms of the Xbox were either light hearted or constructive.
You called me a Fanboy and a Spammer.

THAT'S how this all started.

As for not liking being wound up, you take yourself so seriously, you're just ASKING for it.

Anyway, we're not just here in some "Ninty gang" to back each other up.
Dringo and Er-no ignored this forum until you kicked up that fuss in FoG.
And even then, they didn't come here to "back me up", the came here to irritate you and express their own opinions on what they prefer, the Gamecube or the Xbox.

Now you had a right go at me when I said that Halo was the only Xbox game that interested me, yet you often say that none of the GC games interest you. I've not then gone on and yelled at you for not loving Smash Brothers and Pikmin (2 of the most innoative and brilliantly designed games in the world - the only xbox game that comes close to this sort of imagination is JSRF).

You basically called me a Fanboy for prefering the Gamecube over the Xbox.
And THAT is why Dringo continues to ridicule you.

I think this is coming down for to something Dringo has against me. I challenged Dringo and Strafex about slating the Xbox and prasing the GameCube just as a so called *Fanboy* would. Dringo seems to think that just becuase I called it him and his friend that I have suddenly accused everyone of it. I will give you this, if I see a post that blatently has a go at the Xbox I will challenge that person to find out why. It seemed that:

Dringo
Strafex
er-no

and a couple of others thought it would be good to try to wind me up, do you see a point in winding someone up becuase they may have a weakness because I despise of people who do that and I won't tolerate such childish and pathetic behaviour!

Edgy is right, at first I was a bit of a Fan-Boy but that was also due to a Ninty poster that wouldn't leave this forum until he had thrown a bucket load of insults at both the Xbox and I. Now, I am different and instead of writing a massive reply about what the Xbox can do (as I am perfectly aware of that) I prefer to challenge the person responsible and make them realise the mistakes they are making and point them in the right direction (seems to have worked on the Sony newbie who only 2 days a go was slating the Xbox, but now he wants one, lol)! For challenging the people listed above I was branded a Fan-Boy, where is the justice in that? In the end er-no agreed with the comment I was trying to make, but Dringo and 3 others thought it would be good to come in here and POP a few posts to annoy me further, not only that but this stupid post was made!

I can accept the fact that everyone likes different consoles and in fact, if you have been around in here for the last couple of weeks you would know that I am considering getting a GameCube, that is of course after owning a PS2 and N-64 (not to mention my Xbox and newly purchased Dreamcast). This post shouldn't have been made in the first place, but I am prepared to forgive and move on as I think Dringo is now realsing that it didn't need to be pointed out. In the future be prepared to be challenged if you have a go at a perfectly good console, but also accept that I do like more than the Xbox alone and that I like to discuss multiple aspects of gaming on different platforms! Hope this has cleared a few things up :)

I don't think he's biased. He does except (i think) that other people like other consoles, well we all do i guess. What he don't accept as we can see from many excellent replys is that he does'nt like people who diss the xbox and praise another, thinking they are right. I don't like that either...

He isn't a fan boy, I can tell, as I say reminds me of me from the good old days.

Just he called everyone a fan boy, so I thought i'd call him one too.

As far as I've seen, garbe123 isn't a fanboy. He started off as one, but seemed to realise the error of his ways.

He is biased, I'll grant you that, but he does except (maybe grudgingly) that others like other consoles too.

There are many worse members than garbe123 on here who do deserve the title Fanboy, but unless I see otherwise in the future, garbe123 isn't one of them.

No it is using their opinons i reject to, so they think X-box has the better games? Well I don't... whats the difference from me thinking it and some american gamers who have more x-box games?

YOu didn't challenge me you challenge someone else who I backed up, I spam sometimes but I get more responses for posts like that, I don't win 18 GAD's for writing posts like this. And I love being challenged... because I have never lost.

Oh boy a new rival *claps hands* I haven't had one of them since Turbonutter and i got rid of him :) I have many sources myself, If there is anything about Nintendo I don't know then it isn't worth knowing. I write for various websites, I have set beliefs, I make my own opinons, I am a tired old Forum user though, I almost hung my console fighting ways up and wallow in the respect from the younger Nintendoids I am currently training up. I know when games come out, I know when they're first announced, I know the team member names, I study all 4 consoles (accept not much for the PS2 cause I don't like it at all), I know too much. i rarley use it to fight console wars, but famous battles of yesteryear still reign supreme in my mind. I might be getting an X-box but nevertheless, Nintendo make the greatest games ever.

And that is all I have to say about that, seeya soon.

Dringo.
