Fanboys Are Funny Creatures

    First off, N4G, I just wanna take the time out and say that this new system the Mods have taken for N4G was Great, it help keep the fankid rubbish and banter to a significantly lower percentage. Even though flame bait articles manage to find their way here, people now have decent conversations with less flame due to the segregation of the fanatics and the general gamers.
But every now and again thats disrupted as some Fanatics go a step futhur and show how they are really are and enter the fankid stage and flame, disregarding race and all common sense. Such was displayed today, when I logged in to find a Hate message from one of the users here today in my PM inbox. Whats funny is that this particular user was on my ignore list because I don't go back and forth with the typical "xbox360 is better than Playstation and vise-a-versa" or the "My console is better than yours" stuff that goes on here. So to filter out the none sense I ignore those that i deem flaming and continue reading.
What made this even more funny or sad is that I've never ever said a word to this user since he/she became a member of N4G, and today I was the lucky individual to receive you guessed it, a hate message from  you guessed it a fankid. Whats even funnier is that i got it on Valentine's Day, kinda ironic huh?
This is for the Mods to let them know that even with the enhancements made to return N4G to what it use to be, before the fankids (notice i didn't say the fanatics) turned it to a place of dogs and vultures.

Below is the quoted copy and paste of the message I received from that member  here on N4G. I'm asking The Mods to take action against such a thing because personal attacks are just ridiculous and very vitriolic and vindictive. And I'd even go as far to say that was very belligerent. Clearly if a person on this site had any grip on life and reality they should know that carrying on in such manner and behavior means that the individual should quit taking trivial things on this site like console wars and sales figures to their heads and just leave gaming on a whole, get a social life and go out side. And to the other members of this site, don't be afraid to put children like the one pointed out below in their place. Game on and the don't take games so seriously. Mods like Dusty Please do something about this member below.

Japanese is not a race dipsh*t, it's a nationality. I can only assume that you are lying about your nationality and you are really Japanese. If that's the case, what's your opinion on the nationalistic behavior of Japan. Does it disgust you the way this pm does? Do you see the double standard? It's o.k. for sony fanboys like you to surf websites and push Japanese products, and it's o.k. for Japan to show gross nationalism in regards to gaming products because your a sony fanboy. But God forbid an American try to support America.

[Pauloitis]

How have you managed to turn around hate mail into the receivers fault!?! What an idiot, nobody pushes anything to anyone, people have free choice of what consoles to buy and what not to buy and most electronics are Japanese including gaming thats the way it is with electronics.

[Richdad]

Thats what I have to say abt you. Really wise of you. Just think for a second this guy has been given a racist comment but still he didnt lost his temper like you. Games are for enjoying, please for God sake dont fight for no reason.
Not to mention he still is not saying f*** you 360 morons or any thing like that sort I must say mannered behaviour on Servir04 side. Join me as friend Servir04, I appreciate your ideas.

[Sevir04]

^^ in what Jamaicans do as i am one... if we could touch fist i would. thats a form of respect. thanks man and yeah I cant stand fankids, thats why i dont engage in arguments with them, either way if you've got a PSN hit me up. PSN ID: SEVIREDgamer.

[Richdad]

I am currently not having a PS3 and I have not gone live on my 360 yet, lets see I am just gonna join a plant as Engineer. So I might buy it at that time. Be in touch with you, say do you have a profile on gamespot if so please tell me I will join you there.
Its a great place, atleast one is shy being fanboy over there and also I think N4G owners are taxing a lot due to its fanboy fight place. No joke it crossed 1UP in pupularity.

I dont know why people put disagree tag on me when I am a hardcore 360 gamer and you when you didnt even bashed any console for the matter.

[harv052]

You can still show support without using comments like that though.....

[Genuine]

I'm fed up with people like this person, and N4G is infested with them. I guess when the best job their kids and grandkids can find is a fry cook they might see the point.

[greenenvy]

....gotta say I laughed so hard too, glad to see people like genuine are still around.........

[goldenxbox]

I wouldn't have known what to think before, but now the picture is alot clearer too

http://www.tomsgames.com/us...

still too early to tell but with champions onlive, banjo kazooie 3 and goldeneye they could literally win this console war for now and hit the next-gen swinging !!!

why because they bought a game no one was expecting to be a system seller, too human is one of the best games I ever seen !!

and if they seriously come out with fable 2, gears of war 2, ninja gaiden 2 halo wars, champions, banjo with co-op and on top of that too human this year...along with all these live anywhere games, they may just sell out everywhere and become the automatic winner !!!!

but I can't wait to see something like lost odysseys 2 vs final fantasy, I would pay to see that fight !!

[clrlite]

-xbox couldn't even outsell ps3 world wide in 2007 when it had most of the good games come out. You think banjo is going to steal attention away from metal gear solid 4, gran turismo, little big planet, and resistance 2?

- Both sony and microsoft are global companies, so you are not making a decision in favor of your country buy purchasing a locally manufactured system. but i think sony is a more honest dependable company that actually makes quality products. However sony and ms manufacture a lot of their parts in china and both sony and ms want your freaking money. but i would rather give my money to sony because they have been for the most part a good company for decades.

[theoneandonly]

"You think banjo is going to steal attention away from metal gear solid 4, gran turismo, little big planet, and resistance 2?"

No, but I think its very likely Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Too Human and Halo Chronicles will.

In Europe especially, particularly Too Human. The main "gap" if there even is one IS in Europe with the PS3/360.....Not in North America where PS3 is basically counted out. I'm talking about Europe, where 360 is fast biting at their heels and true killer apps such as Halo Wars, Project Origins, Too Human especially and Gears of War 2/Fable 2 Live anywhere will end up bridging the gap in Europe.

We can't say it until it happens but the likes of Goldeneye 007 and Too Human in particular, will put the full court press on PS3 in Europe. They'll not only catch up, they will once again outsell them in Europe. And the Too Human series is a trilogy.

[xhairs]

"No, but I think its very likely Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Too Human and Halo Chronicles will."
- All I can honestly say is that Fable 2 of all those games will steal some heat. I enjoy my PS3 but even Fable 2 is a game that I could definitely see myself loving more than anything. However, the only thing I can think of about "GoW2" is that they sure as hell don't put it out for PC again because we all know that blew up big time with all the errors and the faulty XBL promo #'s. Gears was good but it's nothing short of a Halo with different graphics. As far as Halo Chronicles....another Halo? How many times can you remake the same FPS with the same graphics and guns and just change some stages...Even Call of Duty had to bring itself to Modern Warfare (heh).
----------------------------- -------------
"In Europe especially, particularly Too Human. The main "gap" if there even is one IS in Europe with the PS3/360.....Not in North America where PS3 is basically counted out."
-Why would you say the PS3 is counted out? They just posted an article about the # of units sold and the PS3 is clearly "beating" the xbox, sure it was only a few thousand units but it's still beating the 360. Not to mention all of you "Americans Supporting America by buying a 360" you do realise while it's an American idea it is very much made in other countries where child labor is an every day occurence. And lets not forget the REAL gap here being with Japan and NOT Europe. Only ~5,000 units were sold of the 360 in Japan compared to the more than 75,000 PS3's sold? That my friend, is a gap.
"I'm talking about Europe, where 360 is fast biting at their heels and true killer apps such as Halo Wars, Project Origins, Too Human especially and Gears of War 2/Fable 2 Live anywhere will end up bridging the gap in Europe."
- Again, its more a matter of opinion, are you European, do you live in Europe, do you fancy the Alienistic games of GoW (or should I say Halo Jr.) and Halo? If so, great. But you're merely pointing out your suggestions while mere facts are saying otherwise. But I do agree, Fabel 2 is going to be a stellar game, and as far as Golden Eye 007 goes, meh. another FPS w00t?

We can't say it until it happens but the likes of Goldeneye 007 and Too Human in particular, will put the full court press on PS3 in Europe. They'll not only catch up, they will once again outsell them in Europe. And the Too Human series is a trilogy.

[Richdad]

The lineup of 360 is really what I always wanted. Although MGS, GT are great series but GT4 controls are not very accessible but the exploraton part they give is good but the controls are very hard. So if you are new to PS, GT5 might not impress you that much instantly. MGS4 is cinematic but its not like such that anyone can pick up and go playing for long time, its not that its hard but its not easily accessible.
But Too Humans, GeOW2, Fable 2 impressed me and out of the show NG2 was extraordinary. It is the best game on 36o this year beats even GeOW2 by some margin and GDC 08 demo proves what Itagaki meant by saying NG and NGB as mediocre.

"Why don't you go live in Japan where you belong, you anti-american son of a b*tch."

I guess your new here cuz this is kids play compared to the things Sony fanboys say.

[Sevir04]

as a matter of fact i was here before the site became N4G/News4Gamers.

as i've said before. I dont pick fights i just ignore. i'm not condoning what sony fankids do, because fankids are fankids no matter what. I cant speak for Sony Fankids because i'm niether. I happen to own a ps3 but. i also play every game that i deem worth my money and time. i can only speak for me... So you'll never see me try to bash a person for liking one console. i'll just ignore you if i deem what you say as frivilous and uneducated...

So i could care less about what the Sony Fankids say.. it means nothing there are a ton of those Sony Fankids on my ignorelist as is Wii and Xbox360.. so for me it's leveled playing feild.

[bootsielon]

He's an idiot, that's for certain, but I guess the best thing we could do is ignore him. The same goes for theMart, power of Green, Jason 360, Zhuk, Bladestar, wageslave, and the dumbass with the Hulk Avatar, just to give a few examples.

[FirstknighT]

Thank you for proving my earlier point :)
