Been reading System wars for awhile because its pretty funny a lot of the time but where did people come up with titles for people based on the system they play? Ive never heard these names anywhere except on these forums. Someone care to expain them? Hermit Im guessin comes from PC players locking themselves in a dark room only coming out to eat and *&(^, which is pretty funny but what about the other 2.

First time poster btw, guess Im a "Lemming" too as I'll be picking up a 360 as soon as I sell my WoW account.

Hermit should be a name exclusive to WoW addicts, not PC gamers who have more of a life than any lemming, cow or sheep here.

xflop, 400$, 20gig hdd...,200$ HDDVD, 5$ a mo for online. THEN a new xflop is coming out with a 120gig hdd, for 480$ STILL with no HDDVD, screwing over 10mill people who allready bought thiers

500$ PS3, 20gig UPGRADABLE hdd, bluray, free online....

how can you say a xflop360 does not cost more than a PS3?????

afaik it was that sheep = nintendo fanboys, to the point where they blindly cheer on everything nintendo does. like 'friend codes are the best plan for online because nintendo is doing it! baaaaa' they're a herd of sheep in a metaphorical sense. lemmings.. probably something about jumping off cliffs for no reason, i don't really know where that came from.

its pretty sad people say these names, like there a different race or something,  and there serious.. frikkin amazes me.. I think it's spread aswel to other messages boards and to the outside world.. I have heard some people refer to people as cow and sheep.. damnit whats the world coming to.  It's like they've forgot that where all human despite what things we might like.

Does every PC owner get "screwed" every month when a bigger HD, faster processor, video card, monitor, etc comes out? No because its not a big deal, so what kind of reasoning is that?

And Ive played sony's "free" online(read:lagfest) on PS2 with socom 1,2, and 3 and Id gladly pay $4 a month for a much better experience

Finally what percent of PS3 owners do you think would rather buy a $400 version withouth bluray capability? A bet a lot of them.

Hermits hides in their shell, and refused to be part of system wars. Cows get milked by sony, sony sell expensive stuff, and milked away. Lemmings will jump into the river and drown for microsoft, Say "I don't have an xbox 360" BAM! Flame! Sheep

Well... I don't know exactly how the terms came about (like.. at one point, everyone decided on the terms), and I also think Lemming isn't the right term for Xbox fanboys, As it is too good for them. To be honest, Xbots should be refered to as Xombies, which, similar to the sheep, they follow Microsoft around mindlessly, chanting "HAaaaaaalloooooo", and attacking anyone that isn't like them.

If you want my opinion, I think it is actually very similar to racism. It is a form of "console prejudice" if you will. Its really sad, but at least (as far as I know) it stays on the internet. (IE, you don't hear people going down the street, yelling "GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM, COW!", etc. The day that starts happening, (which, ironically is also the day humans can read minds), is the day there will be a law against it. Untill then, its just shorter terminology instead of saying "_____ fanboy!".

Wait, how can it be Xflop 360 if it sold/selling more then PS3? Makes no sense.

That was even less humorous than "xflop360". And "xflop360" isn't witty, original, or humorous.
