Too much time on my hands. 40%
Just being a dumb youngling. 33%
I took the Internet and/or video games too seriously. 33%
Because people I knew and hated were on the 'other side'. 33%
Because people I knew and liked were on the 'same side'. 27%
I can't remember/have no idea how. 27%
Limited money and had to justify my limited options. 33%
Was never a fanboy. 60%

I took the Internet too seriously and I still do sometimes.
I been here since about 08 (My first account here was Nerkcon) and I mainly just didn't have much to do we get like 2 new games an entire year and I had no job opportunities in my town. I'm in college now and may be getting a part time job if I'm lucky. Some are you however are adults with full time jobs and you till shitpost about video games, why?

Mom bought me just one console. So, I'll obviously defend it and love it.

She was interested in getting a WiiU, but **** that lol. For nintenyearolds, that thing is.

you forgot one more option. When you just like or prefer something and people jump on you and call you a fanboy just because of it. The word "fanboy" has lost its meaning. It's like feminists with "harassment".

My dad worked for Nintendo which was why I had all the insider information and I felt superior. When he got "let go" he went to work for Sony and I was swimming in 32 MB memory cards. When he left that job to pursue Microsoft I bought into the Xbox brand before he got the job because I was so excited.

And that kids is how I met your mother.

I wouldn't say I'm a fanboy but I definitely have a preferential bias towards Nintendo because I enjoy their ames the most. Also I'm not a huge fan of Sony at the moment because they basically dropped first party support for vita.

Can't say why we're fanboys but can put this here, it might possibly explain why we behave the way we behave...
