Fanboys are funny to watch. However, I thought they would've arrived with machine guns and rocket launchers.

I know for an angry mob of fanboys I'm shocked they haven't turned on each other. They were quite the orderly mob weren't they?

I hate fanboys to,which is why,I dont care who wins,because this contest seems to have envoked the worst in people,what with apparently everyone who lost trying to stomp out Turbine,which they are angry at because they did'nt know of its existence prior to.Which is why,I hope everyone who voted gets laid so that they can chill,and hopefully invite me to a cementary to get my necrophilliac on!

Maybe they did a temporary alliance, since Turbine and Bioware took their company out of the race.

Man, we should do a game based on this event. For all consoles,
Fan Wars
thy shall kill the franchise.

EDIT: Aww, it didn't come out as I wanted.

Sorry Folks; it appears all the angry fanboys from the losing developers have started a riot outside the EMM studio. We're gonna have to cut this a little bit short.

I laughed raucously.

Well I think the joke is that fanboys have no real power so they wouldn't have any weapons. Just massive numbers.

Though I doubt they thought of that when they made the video.

I'm surprised at how many Turbine fanboys there are. i didnt think DND online and LOTRO were that popular.

im sorry but there is no way that turbine should be up there. they havent made any good games and called in their few fanboys that they had.

Few, fanboys really? Wasn't Turbine the one who beat Rockstar with like 3000 votes. No offense to Turbine fans who are not fanboys. You are all a respected group, just like all the other non fanboys. Just trying to make a point.

Developer Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Fanboys

March Mayhem: 2010 Predictions!

At last, Valve will reveal themselves to the Turbine. At last, Valve will have revenge... -- next year's prediction, the Fanblade Menace.

Your clone fan boys are very impressive. You must be very proud. -- an Army arises, Attack of the Valve.

Bioware and the Escapist don't trust me. Something's happening. I'm not the fanboy I should be. I want more. And I know I shouldn't. -- a moment of self-doubt before anhilation is imminent, Revenge of the Fan.

Help us RPG Biowar-e, you're our only hope! -- a plea, A New Vote.

That's not true... That's impossible! Nooooaarargght!!!! -- the revelation, The Flamers Strike Back.

You've failed, your highness. Bioware is the #1 Developer, like Turbine before them. -- the Chosen One brings balance to the Fan Boys, Return of the FPS RPG.

I wouldn't exactly call that a 'riot', more a 'large group of people walking around a corner'.

For starters, nothing was on fire, there was no yelling, and there wasn't anyone fighting.

It'd have been better to use the Dead Rising opening, frankly.

that video pissed me off. they said nothing about the final showdown which kinda defeats the purpose.

I was mislead. I heard it wrong and thought we were getting something special about Pony Jam halfway through... ^^

Gah! What is wrong with you guys!?
Fanboys are like /b/ and Fight Club. You do not talk about them

You'll have to suspend yourselves now. Go on. You know it's only fair. The king is not above the laws he decrees, or whatever.

That was rather...pointless.

And besides, why is it that when everyone decides to vote for Bioware, it's automatically because Turbine beat the others? Could it be that people who like games by Valve would also happen to prefer Mass Effect to Lord of the Rings Online? I think it could be.
