I read this on a comment on youtube

sonic fans know whats a good sonic game and a bad one

sonic FANBOYS like everything about sonic

boy the sound of it its like fanboys are worest then fan

and I guess a fanboys game collection dont have a single mario,zelda,kirby,halo,COD,doom but has lot of sonic games (chould have been all)

and fans are something that might like the play mario kart for 1-2 hours and plays kirby like half an hour

So I made a thread to see whats the REAL difference between them

Fans are just that fans... fanboys are people who drool over something and worship it and think it's the best thing in the world. They are very obsessed with something basically, more then any normal fan.

There is also fangirls basically same thing, girls worshiping those guys in the movie Twilight.

so does that make me a fangirl? cause I [heart] Edward!

The mere presence of the word Twilight makes me shudder in fear.

How can anyone at all like something so bad?

most of the Twilight fans look at the things most of us are interested in and react the same way I bet.

eye of the beholder and such

fanboy's are friggin insane about something (movie,music,console,game) fans just like it.

i mean when micheal jackson performed in our town, there was this dude who actually cried about that message, now that's a fanboy for you

I have to disagree on this point, liking everything about a particular thing doesn't make one a fanboy.
It's more about the attitude they have.
Example, a final fantasy 7 fan will say to someone that doesn't like the game "I see your point and it is a valid one but the game is still my favorite"
while a final fantasy 7 fanboy will say "OMFG what iz rong with u, ff7 is leet and all the others suck and its the best game evar and ur retarded".
Cough. You see the difference. Both love the game and everything about it, collect the merchandise, but the fanyboy is an idiot.
(Unfortunatly you won't find a ff7 fan, only fanboys. Thats the flaw in that example )

Yes, a fanboy is alot worse then a fan, but that doesn't mean they don't have other games.
They might collect other games under the pretense of looking "normal" to others, or just to say "see, i tried that game but MY game is still better".

Again this is a misconception, one does not need be a fanboy to play a particular game for hours.
A fanboy spends most of their time drooling over merchandise and arguing how great their thing is, they probally spend more time doing this then actually playing said game.

Another word to describe them would be a emo, putting more emotions into something then a normal person would.

Fan w/ opinion (or just a random assault):

Sonic blows

Fanboy:

s0n!c is rulse u blow ur mommy i hate you go pokeman urself to death. i go to house an kill u.

Go browse youtube you will see it all over the place

I can understand defending something you like but either way, most fans and fanboys are just plain annoying all they do is bicker over what is better then they start insulting each other.

In a lot of cases though it is the normal person initiating the fight and causing trouble, someone takes it personally and the war begins.

okay

so ther are barely any Ture sonic fans

only fanboys who think SMBZ suck because of mario

ture sonic Fans plays sonic liked it plays for hours but dont talk about it all the time

IS THAT RIGHT!

Probally. I used to be a Sonic fan, read the comics and played the Genesis games.
But I was never hugely into it and I didn't like the newer games so I never bothered with them.
A Sonic fanboy will probally think that any game in the series is great no matter how big a pile of stinking turds it is.

neat

I m both a mario and sonic fan

used to be a halo fan but I gived up ITS THE SAME THING EVER TIME unlike sonic chao gradens is like the best PET system EVER

fanboys are the people who camp out at a store the night before black friday or the new release of a game or console. they have to get their hands on a game at any costs, even if it meant giving up their left kidney. fans are people who love to play video games as well, but they have their priorities more in order. fanboys will "forget" to work on that english essay when in reality they were up all night smashing goombahs, whereas the fans would write that same essay, maybe playing videogames for an hour or two that same day. i myself are somewhat in the middle of the two.

Nice


so thats the say fanboys SUCK
