Get the Captain Fagbox mug.In the video game world, a person who desperately prefers one system over others, and will hate every other without reason.
The fanboy said that Xbox was a worthless piece of garbage, but since he never played it, he was not telling the truth.

Get the fanboy mug.A fan (human) who devoted himself to a particulair brand/series, and hardly questions whether it was the best choice. It usually points at a fanboy favoring a certain gaming comsole like the Nintendo Wii and Xbox360 over the opposing brand, yet also reffers to otaku-like people who favor a certain anime series like Dragonball Z and
Yu-gi-oh, or Comic book brands like Archie and Marvel. Many other kinds of fanboyism excist, but these are the most common ones.
Fanboys have the reputation to hardly have a social life, run low on friends outside Massive Multiplayer, to take their fanboyism quite seriously, and to be the cause of flame wars on internet forums. Although this is quite stereotyphical, it's not entirly incorrect. Fanboys take it as a personal offense when someone (usually an opposing fanboy) ditches the other's favourite brand/comic/console/etc.. Whether he reacts or not is for the fanboy to decide.
Despite their reputation, fanboys are proud to be one, and it will take quite some dissapointment from the brand/system/anime/etc. to get the fanboyism out of his head. Not there is need to, since they prefer not to bother anyone, so they won't be bothered while feeding their obsession.

'You don't like Zelda? I take it you are a Halo fanboy?'
'Indeed, and at least Halo doesn't use the same story/characters time after time again. Face it, Nintendo is dying!'
'It's not, and Halo is just mindless shooting! At least Nintendo is trying something new, but Microsofties like you can't appreciate taste!'
'You mean waggling some TV-remote is cool? Must be hard to be you'
etc.

Get the fanboy mug.A person that believes that iPhones are superior in any way compared to an Android, thinks an Android is a phone, doesn't know what benchmarks are or benchmarking programs eg. Geekbench, 3D mark. When asked what type of storage they will say 32 gb, 64 gb, or 128 gb instead of saying flash, m.2, nvme, or sata. Will fall for any gimicks "special features" that their products have (3d touch) will also follow them no matter what, swear that they are the best, are innovative, and say that Android's suck or are inferior without even trying them.
Andrew: Yo Jett what type of storage does the iPhone use?
Jett (apple fanboy): It uses 32 gb, 64gb, or 128 gb
Andrew: No you autistic fuck I was talking about m.2 or flash or nvme.
Jett (apple fanboy): What is flash?
Andrew: You are actually retarded

Get the Apple fanboy mug.A major problem, as are all fanboys. Like all fanboys, they rarely give a reason for their company's superiority, and if they do it's some antiviolence bullshit that either accuses the average Microsoft or Sony gamer of being violent and hating Nintendo for the lack of violence it provides. Although the gibberish that they spurt sometimes has a point, such as their most frequently used phrase that "Xbox has no (very few) fun games, they still ignore the fact that the Dreamcast was shunned, and that many of Sega's earlier systems were also poorly done, with the exception of a few games like Shinobi, and that the Gamecube was on the bottom of the charts during current generation. They will make the excuse, again, that we hate their systems because they don't provide enough violence, but when Resident Evil 4 (possibly one of the most violent and disturbing games of the current generation), it was a Gamecube exclusive. It was still a great game, but this took away their "Microsoft and Sony gamers are violent" line. They're just as much of a n00b as any other fanboy of any other system, and most gamers who meet them fantasize about a video game character (usually Master Chief a la VG Cats) brutally murdering the fanboy. Fanboys give all gamers a bad name.
SEGA/Nintendo fanboy:OMGXBOX SUX!!!11 NINTENDO PWNS PS2 LOL IF U DONT LIKE NINTENDO OMGSHUTUP YOU FAGGOT!1!!
(Master Chief sticks a plasma grenade to fanboy)

Master Chief:Now run, little piggy, run.
