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.

Get the End Game mug.Used to describe the final moments of a given event, or situation where change is still a possibility.
Right before a deadline.
Right before a deadline.
I procrastinated all night and now, in the 11th hour, I need to work my ass off to finish this report moments before it is due.

Get the The 11th Hour mug."Community Manager"
Basically a glorified Forum Moderator that is connected to Blizzard Developers via a long leash. Like one would find on a dog. A dog however, is slightly more helpful when it comes to tech support and customer service.
Blizzard CM's are known for several things:
1. Canned PR responses.
2. Crappy Logic.
3. Unprofessional, biased moderation of behavior.
4. Razor-thin egos.
5. Followed by a legion of fanbois screaming as if the Beatles have regrouped and decided to devote the bulk of their time together sitting at computers, shepherding vast sums of the biggest morons the gaming community has ever seen, around a poorly maintained and operated message board for a company that makes more money than Europe (the continent, not the band).
Cm's will request positive feedback, in a thread full of complaints posted just inches above fifteen to twenty threads full of said requested feedback. Those positive examples will go forever untouched by said CM. Pointing this fact out, will also be ignored.
If you piss off a CM personally, they will decide to actually give a damn about insults -as a forum rule- long enough to ban you or close your thread. You can tell people to drop dead on every page leading up to that point but, don't insult a CM, their feelings actually matter.
Often times, they'll give a "reason" such as: "This topic is old, if you need to talk about it, post a new thread."
If that logic didn't give you an immediate aneurysm, you may have been born on Krypton.
CM's technical know-how is highly suspect, like the "surgical skills" of a guy working out of his sister's apartment in the Bronx or a Best Buy Geek Squad employee.
All problems are solved by:
1. Deleting your WTF folder. (Called so do the reaction most feel when told that, doing so will solve a problem caused by AT&T's network hub.)
2. Power Cycle your modem.
3. Ping your connection and post it.
If these don't work, try doing them again.
If that doesn't work..try doing them again.
Blizzard CM's are witty too. They like to waste their allotted three valuable posts per annual quarter, by being productive and clever in threads like:
~ If You Could Verbally Suck Off Drysc in a Thread, Which Will Immediately Dissolve into Staggeringly Unfunny Random Crap, Forum Fads and Ancient Memes, Would You Please do it Here. ~
Blizzard Cm's have decided long ago that the Offical Blizzard boards were going to suck and blow harder than Tera Patrick caught in a hurricane.
the place is a joke. Trolls, fanbois and idiots dominate and the CM's don't care.
Any criticism leveled at a CM is immediately cut off at the source and one is directed to wowcmfeedback@blizzard.com.
This is without a doubt the biggest load of transparent crap a CM can drop in a thread.
Simply put anyone who believs this email is going to be read by anyone important is an idiot. The CM's are so bad and so unprofessional that the influx of complaints must be beyond belief and they haven't flushed these turds yet. Your email gets sent to a special inbox where the CM's can have a good chuckle before continuing being impotent figure heads who wait for a random fanboy to make up an excuse for Blizzard's regular bullshit, simply quote it and say, "Yeah, what this guy said!"
At this point CM's post once a week just see the inevitable wave of sycophantic tools show up and agree with them for simply having blue font. It gets bad to the point of self parody. Never mind, that a CM is Blizzard employee who is too inept to actually do anything of value, like a hype man for a video game developer.

Blizzard CM means "community manager" but the only thing these inept fucksticks "manage" to do with any competence, is fuck the place up with their apathetic bullshit.

Get the Blizzard CM mug.World of Warcraft guild.
A raiding guild on the Cho'Gall server.
A group of self-loathing, elitist, misogynist asshats.
Are infamous for a distinct and utterly pathetic "no girls" policy.
Believe women (or "girls" to them) are icky and, produce drama to such a degree that barring them from their premiere boys club guild will stymie the drama that pockmarks 99.9% of all guilds, in all games everywhere.
As anyone can predict by such a policy, members are cowardly, arrogant, dimwitted and very angry. Responses on the boards are usually unguilded alts screaming one or two lines of trolling drivel.
The sad thing is, such a policy is a blindingly obvious sign, that members are lonely, easily excited, virginal nerds who are so pathetically weak of will and inexperienced with women, that they can't even keep their shit straight when in the same Ventrillo server as a female player, who would never fuck them anyway.
Any problems with drama can be solved by recruiting adults.
But the whole Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch Army of Azeroth mentality works too I guess.
WoW players are already stigmatized as losers. These clowns are keeping that misconception alive.

Get the Vanquish of Cho'Gall mug.AKA, BVTW Syndrome.
The most common example, is My Immortal, which is considered to be the worst fanfiction ever produced and, may have in fact, existed since the dawn of time. Some believe it to be one of Nyarlathotep's 999 forms.
It is also commonplace on free form roleplaying message boards.
The disturbingly common practice of writing Harry Potter-based fanfiction or creating HP-based characters that are, for purposes of the female writer's fantasy, bisexual for other "hawt Hogwarts guys" and, on occasion, situationally "hawt" for the writer's alter ego, female main character.
...Oh and they're also VAMPIRES.
Bad HP slash writers (oxymoron?) LOVE vampires.
People who suffer from BVTW Syndrome:
-Likes-
Vampires
Any combination of: Ron, Harry, Draco and Snape fucking in the Forbidden Forest.
Goth anything
Hot Topic
F-bomb dropping Dumbledore
Gun toting Voldemorts
-Dislikes-
Spelling
Hogwart's boarding school Dress Code.
Vampires that have fangs and burn in sunlight.
Magic classes.
Quidditch
Writing anything with even the remotest of semblance, to the characters and stories that these fanfics are based on.

Bisexual, Vampire Teen Wizards are why a Harry Potter role playing game will most likely never see print.

Get the Bisexual, Vampire Teen Wizards mug.A website/blog for sport loving pinky dicks.
Basically like 4chan, only for middle aged, fat, ugly, angry woman-hating men, who circle jerk over unfunny images, unbelievably lame jokes, and taunt each other with with threats of their favorite sports team beating up another team.
Love Michael Vick. Because assholes.
The least likable people on Earth all decided to make a blog devoted to being everything that people hate about sports fans, and generally gives everyone on Earth a bad name.
Call each other "stoolies" and are identified by pictures of fat date rape enthusiasts, in T-shirts, who wear baseball caps backwards, holding up crudely written signs with the website name on it.
Which probably have their name, address and phone, printed on the back, in case they leave the sign in their male prostitute's asshole.

Barstool Sports is great, if you ever want to feel better about yourself. Just read the comment section of pretty much any article. You'll feel like a genius.
