Identifying A Gaming Fanboy
Fanboy; A Fanboy is an individual who is extremely biased and subjective in their opinion within particular medium or given subject.

Fanboys are individuals who believe that there isnt a single iota wrong with their cherished franchise and will defend their favourite game to the death, hopefully. Now, there isnt anything wrong with liking a game, or even classing it as your favourite.

I have no idea why people feel admitting faults in their favourite titles means the game as a whole is rubbish, because theres no such thing as a perfect game.

Each Fanboy from each main form of gaming: console and PC gaming are very different creatures, and must be treated as such. So here is: Toms Survival Guide to Identifying a Fanboy.
