The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Before I joined, I was happy, I had some consoles, I enjoyed playing them, and no one cared. I had a PSX, and I liked it. I really enjoyed some of the games; Gran Turismo 2 is one of my all time favourites, whilst the series has gone downhill from then, it doesn't change my opinion of the 2nd game. Others consoles I had before I joined were the N64, a great console, even though it didn't have the most of releases, 2 Gameboys and the newly released GBA. The reason I joined in the first place? Simply to buy some GBA games.
I didn't want to join your forum, but I had a go, after buying two GBA games, I was happy, why shouldn't the local forumers be just as nice as my games? Well, they were, but along with them came a terrible price... fanboy-ism!
The moment I entered the Nintendo forum, the change into fanboy slowly took it's course.
I started just asking about games, and sometimes saying what I though of them, but them, I started to see the first few fanboy threads, warping my mind:
“Mario sunshine rules1!!”
“rare rule!”
“short & sweet is brilliant!”
“rare suck!!!”
These slowly, but surely, changed my opinion of everything; no longer was I an open minded gamer, the PS2 now sucked, the XBox was massive and the controllers were really bad and the GameCube was the only way to go!
The influence of you people has made me into a fanboy-crazy gamer!
The process was slow, but soon enough I had all the symptoms; telling my mates they have inferior consoles, daily prayer, asking the mighty GameCube to make my day nice, trying to buy every single exclusive title on the market and even bringing my GameCube around town, just to say I’ve got one!
Soon enough, I myself started to write topics praising Nintendo:
“Pikmin Is Amazing!”
“Playing With Monkeys Balls - And Enjoying It!”
“I Don’t Like Mario Sunshine - But It’s Better Than Any PS2 Game!!!”
Many more followed, some even more gruesome than the afore mentioned!
But now, I’m beginning to turn back into my open-minded, none-fanboy gaming self. First of all, I started saying what a though again - for once, not all GameCube games were amazing, some were ‘alright’. I’m actually considering buying an Xbox sometime soon, which is something I never thought I’d be saying to myself, but it’s true.
So, you may have turned me into a fanboy, but I will hopefully turn back, fully, and then exact my revenge.
Also, PS2 Sucks!!!1111

Its a hardlife, me and two it teachers were at it today saying wich one we think is best... It was between xbox and game cube, i obviously said that xbox was the best, and they were saying that GC is the best...
It was great... Got the whole lesson to join in the argument for about 40 mins, must do it again next week...
> me and two it teachers were at it today
Lol, sorry, made me laugh :-D
> Lol, sorry, made me laugh :-D
Me too.
And these forums has made me fanboyish now too.
Believe it or not, before I became an informed gamer i was actually considering buying an X-Box. After seeing the games line-up I decided otherwise, and Nintendo drew me in.
could you ever imagine me a M$ fanboy?
> could you ever imagine me a M$ fanboy?
No, no i could not...
oh and Sony Suck..........
> oh and Sony Suck..........
Sony dont suck, if it is the PS2 you are referring to, then it is just not as good as the xbox or the GC...
I own everything. Bwah.
> I can't be a fanboy any more.
