Lig Na Baste's definitions
An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.
Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.
Known for using the phrase
"Object of affection = Best Ever"
However, while people only really say that as hyperbole, fanboys truly believe it.
Troll the internet to spread the gospel.
Insult/chastise others for using public forums to express an objective opinion, no matter how constructive or, respectful it may be. (Go ahead and admit that it's a good game/movie/etc. This fact and anything else will be promptly ignored in favor of cherry picking the negative, and beating you over the head with it.
Tend to resort to petty annoyance replies when backed against the wall. Usually grammar attacks and non-replies.

"Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG ever!"
"Ocarina of Time is the best game ever!"
"Linux is the best OS ever!"
"Xbox is the best console ever!"
"Dragonball Z is the best show ever!"
The sad thing is, fanboys don't realize, that these companies that fuel their passion, don't really give a damn about us. To me, defending a multi-national corporation like their your own family, is ridiculous. These organizations don't come to your house and help you when you're sick, they don't help you move, or drive you to the airport. They don't support you in any way. It's a business, not a friendship. As soon as you can no longer buy their product, you disappear to them.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to come in to work today, I just got back from seeing Aliens Vs. Predator while playing the latest Final Fantasy game on my PSP after watching the Superbowl with my Dolfies dressed like Link from Legend of Zelda, and I should be going on and on about it with stupid people who can't spell.........circle jerk

Get the circle jerkmug. Microsoft named the Vista project "longhorn" after Bill Gates -during one of his usual weekly brain trust board meetings with the Forces of Evil- proclaimed:
*pounds fist on table accidentally sending Rupert Murdock down a shoot filled with flame and snakes*
"I want something akin to having a longhorn bull shove it's horn far up their (consumers) ass!!!"
They then had a good chuckle before feasting on the innards of new borne babes.

Get the Longhornmug. Website devoted to The collectible miniatures game Hero Clix by Wizkids Games.
A large collection of cliquish fanboys and self righteous, ego stroking losers who spend all day thanking a corporation for taking their money in exchange for poorly made, developed and ridonkulously priced crap.
Questioning/criticizing Wizkids is a direct attack on members' egos, despite devoting at least one section toward the notion of criticism this behavior is not tolerated and group bullying is the staff's accepted response.

HCRealms is a great place to go to make your own fandom seem normal and healthy by comparison.
Remember: Wizkids prices are always reasonable and if you think otherwise you have the right to be ganged up on for saying so.

Get the HCRealmsmug. Plural: Cherubim
One of the choirs of angels, in Judeo-Christian lore.
Often confused and mislabeled as baby angels.
The Cherub is NOT a baby angel. Baby angels are called Putto.
The Hebrew depiction took the form of winged bulls, or sphinx-like creatures with the body of a bull, the head of a man, and feathered wings.
Christianity depicted them as beings with four heads. That of a man, lion, ox, and eagle. It also had four wings.
The most famous example of a depiction of cherubim is the "Mercy Seat", which is either the lid, or ceremonial object that rested on top of, the Ark of the Covenant.

Get the cherubmug. Goons love to make fun of suffering, as long as it's not their own. When it is, they expect "goondolences". Pathetic.

Get the Goonsmug. People who post empty and meaningless messages, purely to provoke.
Such people are mentally ill and have severe personality issues and insecurity as well as the average mind/priorities of a twelve year old.
Some people just can't grow out of the period in their life when scribbling on the walls and dropping spiders on the girls they liked was acceptable. At 20-30yrs of age, it's just pathetic.
Trolls don't care about proving a point or championing a cause. They just want to annoy, for the sake of annoyance and personal enjoyment, like a baby is entertained by a rattle or colorful lights.
They may tack on a "point" to draw out specific types of people but, it really doesn't matter. They're all the same. They all say the same shit. They all have the same excuses. They all fall back on the same responses and, they all share the same obliviousness to how stupid and pointless their lives are.
The troll is easily amused by things only the most retarded, unfunny child would appreciate.
They celebrate getting a reaction, that's it. Generally, they are so desperate for human interaction and, they are usually so vile, that negative attention is the best they can get. The saddest thing is, anyone can get a reaction by acting like an idiot. Anyone. They honestly take pride in the "art" like they've actually accomplished something.
It's astonishing to watch them brag about something 90% of the world would be embarrassed to even consider.
Don't let the occasional "smart" troll fool you. There is no "art" to it. It's a self loathing tool with anonymity to shield him, doing stupid things and when someone tells them they're making an ass of themselves, they dance around like some great mastermind who manipulated the psyches of those around them through careful planning and psychology, when in reality, they're a retard who shit in the public fountain and laughed when everyone looked.
Trolls have existed since ancient times, when they were referred to as the "village idiot" or "town drunk" a quixotic hero in their own mind, that the rest of the world pities in disgust.
Said disgust, isn't a victory, trolls. You've lost. Pray you never realize it. Ignorance truly is bliss and, you're the happiest motherfuckers around. Go see a shrink and tell them that you find enjoyment in pissing people off and try to look surprised when they tell you, you've got serious mental problems.
