No. 90% of fanboys are like are metaphorical zombies. They believe one thing.
Fanboys - "My console is better. Buy one, or you suck!"
Zombies - "Brains....brai.....brains..brains...BRAINS!"

They've convinced me, through trial and error, mind you, that the most satisfying way to kill a fanboy is to rip out their aorta and strangle them with it, effectivley killing them twice. Runners up in this catagory include wood chipper, being bludgeoned with excess amounts of whatever they obsess over and embalming them alive.

Yeah their opinion is just as valid as anyone elses. Just because they like something a whole lot more than anyone else..

Saying you dont listen to them is stupid.. Do you listen to an archeologist because hes a fanboy of ancient Egypt.

Yes, any time I took the word of anyone who suggested anything that has any ties to Sega might be remotely worth spending money on.

I rented and played through Halo 3 because of the fanboy/haters. Found myself right in the middle. Sure is lonely in the middle.

I'm pretty sure I am one..... so I don't know. I like to just think I'm a devout fan though, nothing more. I think by now it's pretty obvious what game I am a major fan of.
To answer your question though, no I don't think so. I never allow others to influence my life. I make my own decisions, be who I am not what's cool.

You'd be surprised how often a good bludgeoning can cure what ails...

I'm surrounded by Sony and Mac fanboys. Proper ones, not like the ones on here.

When the best argument someone can up with for why something is good is "It's not Microsoft!", it's clearly a shit product. Actually, I HAVE been convinced by a fanboy, it's just to never, ever, ever buy their products.

Yes. Fanboys have convinced me a lot of times... ...that they are nothing more than brain-damaged gibbons and they should not be allowed anywhere near a computer for the sake of mankind.

There are quite simply no limits to their stupidity nor their zealot-like appearance to whatever brand or game they are "defending".

I don't know if what you define as a fanboy matches the ones I've encountered (and oh boy have I encountered the worst. I've been on the GT Forums...) and if you did, I find it hard to believe that you would have any other viewpoint of those little bastards.

Seriously. All their parents hsould have used a condom. I really despise them that much.

I guess, concidering that I'm playing CoD 4.

I'm a devils advocate.. when I discover myself in a conversation with a fanboy (or girl) I usually spend my time trying to see just how worked up I can get them. I want tears or a punch thrown at me lol.

Rev Erebus:
i don't even know what fanboy means. I am out of touch with the gamer scene.

You don't have to be a gamer to be a fanboy (like the above-mentioned mac fanboy who probably doesn't ever play games; y'know, because mac isn't good for that kind of thing) you just have to stubbornly defend everything your favorite company/political party/religion/filmmaker/musician/sports team does and tirelessly ridicule any competition to that company/religion/political.....

No.

My friend who I live with is a complete Mac fanboy and I am a PC user.

The arguement of which is better has come up many many times, I doubt either of us will make a case that will really sell each other on our respective machines.
So no I have not been convinced by a fanboy.
