How to Tell If You're a PC Gaming Fanboy

Not sure if your beige pride is up to snuff? Test your gaming attitudes to find out if you're a PC Fanboy.

It's a PC Thing

Console fanboys have tattooed Mario on their forearm and will vehemently defend their system of choice at any given moment. PC fanboys are just as passionate, but also present less of a united front. They have no mascot, no overarching company to demand their loyalty, (the biggest fanboys might not even run a Windows operating system), and no one console to force them to conform to the mainstream. Find out if you're a PC fanboy by seeing how many of the following behaviors apply to you.

I despise the PC fanboy. I love PC gaming but god I hate PC fanboys. They are some of the meanest, rudest, most elitist out there. Whenever someone mentions the comfort of a controller, they'll be quick to jump into a conversation and rant about the superiority of the mouse and keyboard. Mention you like the graphics of a new game on the 360 or the PS3 and these maggots will rear up and spew bile as they rave about their computer monitors and graphic cards. They tend to be self-important, egotistical nutjob. Certainly there are console gamers like that, too, but it has always been a serious thing with the PC Gamer. Yes, PCs have more power and more function and better definition with the monitors. We know this. But we also know it's more expensive and requires a lot more effort to get working. PC gaming is not eden. It does have trade-ins. You have to give as you take. Console gamings have lower definitions and not as high specs but the games work, it's cheaper, and you need little effort to get it working.

wasdwasdwasdwasdwasdwasdwasd I love typing it! I never played a downloaded PC game in my life. It's probably easier than saving up money for a PS3 right? LAN meetings? I don't get it.
