Poll Which fanboy do you consider yourself to be? (89 votes)

Fakeboy 3%
Fanboy 3%
Hermit 24%
Cow 12%
Lemming 6%
Sheep 9%
Manticore 43%

FAKEBOYS are those who falsely support one system. They are often used to create false hype for new games or products, making a certain type of fanboy look very bad when said product doesn't fully deliver as expected.

FANBOYS are those who support a system, and show extreme disgust for other systems.

HERMITS are those who support the PC. Possible origin being that PC fanboys have a hard time finding a place amongst the console fanboys.

COWS are users who are devout supporters of Sony's hardware. (The name comes from 6th gen characteristics where many accessories were needed to get the full experience, like the multi-tap, additional controllers, hard drives, eye toy, etc. This was called "milking" therefore getting the name "cows")

LEMMINGS are those who support the Xbox and its entire franchise (Comes from the 6th generation where Microsoft fanboys believed anything that Microsoft said. And also because they listen to all of the Microsoft commands, like "jump off a cliff".)

SHEEP are those who support Nintendo and their entire franchise (They are called sheep because they blindly followed anything that Nintendo said.)

MANTICORES are those who support all systems. It's a rarely used term. They are called manticores because they are a mixture of a lot of animals. Now you see "multi-system owners" in place of this formerly common name, although don't be mistaken, a multi-system owner is not impartial towards all systems like a manticore.

I'm a "fanboy" of games and have nothing against any gaming system (except maybe mobile)... having said that, I do have a soft spot for Xbox. But that doesn't mean I won't/don't own and enjoy others.

I also voted fakeboy. And I believe Manticore will win the polling because everyone wishes to believe they are detached and impartial. But I think many are closet fanboys

I'm a manticore but a common sense manticore. I hope for all companies and systems to do well but I can acknowledge when one is a better product than the other. For example the PS4 is better than the Xbone and WiiU in every way. Some people seem incapable of accepting that.

The PC is the best platform in my eyes, no questions about it. You can argue about exclusives, or in the past ease of use, for consoles, but there is no reason to own one these days beyond said exclusives. With that said, I love Nintendo games and will buy their systems for Fire Emblem. So hermit with a side of manticore?

Then you are not a common sense "manticore", you are now just a fanboy.

I've owned Sony consoles since the PS2 for exclusives but I'm definitely a hermit, PC gets 90% + of my play time

I'm a fan of good games but think all games are better on PC

I'm a PC gamer through and through and although I do own a PS4 and 3DS (actually 3 3DS's if you count the two I bought my kids) but I don't think that qualifies as Manticore.

Hermit I guess, since I only own PC this gen so far. But I'm not blind and praise the game if interests me on any platform.

Used to be a sheep, but Nintendo is 75% poop now. I just root for good games and the occasional shakeup to keep things hectic on here.

Half the people posting here are lying to themselves.

You're not a 'manticore' if you won't admit games on other systems are actually good games, even if you don't like that genre or system.

That said I'm an Xbox fanboy, but I also game on PC and and I'm really more a fanboy of genres than platforms or studios.

I like sci fi, pvp and rts games.

@undefined:

Is manticore the one that refers to a fanboy that plays everything?

If so then that's me.

How is a manticore a fanboy? Isn't that, like, the exact opposite? W/e.

I just appreciate good games. If a platform has enough games that I think will suit my tastes then I buy it. I will admit to being a 16-bit fanboy forever. Super Neo Mega Turbo stuffs all the way.

I always wonder about where this cows/lems/sheep came from. But the description of each one is flawed as I can argue they fit all fans.

LOL a "common sense" ice cream lover may say Rocky Road is better than vanilla. But they don't spend their time actively shitting on vanilla. That's some serious bullshyte he posted.

Agreed. I have one game on my phone, Star wars AB. I play my vita/3DS when on the move.
