Gamesetwatch writes: We throw around lots of insults on message boards and comment threads, but there is perhaps none so common – and so virulent as fanboy.
What does that word even mean? Dictionary.com has no idea, but UrbanDictionary.com has several definitions. "A passionate fan of various elements of geek culture… but who lets his passion override social graces." "A person who is completely loyal to a game or company reguardless [sic] of if they suck or not… a pathetic insult." "An arrogant person… [who takes] the console war very seriously, as if it were a real war."

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
I think we all know what a fanboy is at this point. The more relevant question is how do we get rid of them?
N4G would not survive now without fanboys. It has become overrun with them and is now on fanboy life support. Flames destroy a lot of things. Flame wars sustain life for N4G.
The author is talking about reviewing games that are important to people for nostaligic reasons (ie they love SSBB because it is Nintendo characters). I would argue very few games released are based on characters gamers grew up with. Most games, even those that are sequels aren't built on lifelong characters we know from childhood.
To be honest with you I never knew what fanboy was or what it meant until I started visiting this website a few months ago lol! I dont consider myself a fanboy, I prefer the PS3 to the 360 and I own only one console which is a PS3 so if that means I'm a fanboy then so be it. It is strange though to be seeing flame wars on here, guys need to realise these are just games but I do find it funny just seeing it all!
