I have a 360 and a PSP, but am I more of a Lemming? I mean its not like I own every system but I don't game on Xbox's only. I can't call myself a Cow at all because of all the Cows I've fought regarding the PS3, I've still defended the PSP but a portable is not really considered as major as a next gen console.

I also spend alot more game time on my 360, since my PSP is well you know, a portable, I don't really play it at home, if I do its just to play a demo or listen to some music without bothering anyone else.

So what do you think?

You're more of a lemming. A manticore owns or likes all systems.

Seeing as how a manticore owns every system, plays every system equally and has no opinion of their own... I would say you are more of a lemming than anything.

Actually you're just a gamer. A lemming isn't just someone who loves the MS, it's someone who ONLY loves MS.

I'm a Manticore, because I game on all consoles and handhelds, besides PC, but that's because I lack the funds.

I despise Sony (the company), and I have no interest in the PS3, but I like everything else, even if I favour Nintendo, and will defend anything I feel is being underrepresented (even the PS3). Does that make me a manticore, at least a sheepish one.

I do like all the systems but I don't own them all or are THAT interested. And of course if I didn't own a PSP I'd own a Zune, furthering my loyalty to MS, but I'm still not a MS or an Xbox fanboy, I do defend it though and like to fight in system wars but if I were a fanboy I'd be saying it has better graphics then a high end gaming PC or that KZ2 will flop and that the WII is a kiddy toy but I don't say those things.

Now that is harsh on us, while I do enjoy every system, I do have my prefences, if anything, I'm a bit more of a lemming over a manticore, but I can see past the 360 and realize the Wii and PS3 are amazing consoles too.

If you take the red pill, you are a lemming. If you take the blue pill, you are a manticore. If you take the green pill, you are an Atari fanboy ;)

I'd call you a shemming, unless you like PC then you'd be a manticore, essentially.  I don't think manticores have to utilise all four gaming ideas, just three.  Two is a fanboy like a Shermit, or a Shemming, or Show, or Cermit, or Cemming or some dumb thing like that...

Yeah, I like P.C., just not as much as consoles. I was wondering about the names of a half hermit half something else. Shermit? Lermit? Kermit? :lol:

Manticores really fit their names well... they are "mythical creatures." I do not see how they can actually exist in the gaming world... seeing as how everyone should have their own preferences and bias towards something.

I prefer the term "gamer."

I consider myself a manticore by system wars standards. I try my best to be as fair as I can to the other systems since I don't have a problem gaming on any platform. At the moment I'm gaming on the 360 more than anything else, but that can and probably will change in the future. I follow the games I like.

This thread calls for my awsome explanation of Manticores :D Manticore  A mythical monster having the head of man (with horns) and the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. Its is used on System Wars of supporters of all the consoles and everything within gaming. You try to stay balanced and to not make fanboyìsh statement against other fanboys or consoles. Manticores are also mythical creatures, in other words dosent exict in reality. And is also a reason why the term Manticores are used in SW, it is an aknowlegment that nobody, including the Manticores themselves, is completely unbiased. You will always favor one above the others. The difference from regular fanboys is that you try your best not to let your biase get in the way of your posts. Do you feel like you fit into the explanation?

That's pretty funny when MS's game division has been in the red for its entire existence. Not to mention the red ring of doom.

I would be a manticore if Xbox never existed. Xbox and X360 are the only systems I refuse to purchase because they stole Halo. I literally owned every single system ever made until Xbox came out. Now I consider myself a hermit because of my hatred for Xbox.

Not according to American Heritage Dictionary: "A legendary monster having the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion." Or Wordnet: "a mythical monster having the head of man (with horns) and the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion" But Wikipedia say they sometimes do: "The manticore is a legendary creature, a kind of chimera with the head of a man — often with horns, gray eyes, three rows of iron shark-like teeth, and a loud, trumpet/pipe-like roar — the body of a (sometimes red-furred) lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion, which may shoot out venomous spines or hairs to incapacitate prey (thus confusing its imagery with the cryptozoology of a porcupine, though tarantulas do something similar with their hairs). Occasionally, a manticore will possess wings of some description. Size reports range from lion-sized up to horse-sized." The mandatory link: http://www.answers.com/manticore?nafid=3

They stole Halo from the only people that it matter and told us all to buy an Xbox if we wanted in on the party. Well **** Xbox forever if that's how it's going to be.

Just because you own a system doesnt make you a fanboy or a manticore.

Good Analogy.
