Until I joined these forums, I was an unbiased, gamer; I didn't put one console above another, I simply played games, if I didn't like one, I'd say so. But not anymore. Thanks to these forums, I've changed. I used to be happy, no arguments, no silly, juvenile comments about Bill Gates.

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

Thanks for reading

A perfect example of typical Xbox fanboyism and a typical casual gamer, avaoid at all costs, it's too late for this one. *steps away promptly*
