FAKEBOYS are those who falsely support one system. They are often used to create false hype for new games or products, making a certain type of fanboy look very bad when said product doesn't fully deliver as expected.
FANBOYS are those who support a system, and show extreme disgust for other systems.
HERMITS are those who support the PC. Possible origin being that PC fanboys have a hard time finding a place amongst the console fanboys.
COWS are users who are devout supporters of Sony's hardware. (The name comes from 6th gen characteristics where many accessories were needed to get the full experience, like the multi-tap, additional controllers, hard drives, eye toy, etc. This was called "milking" therefore getting the name "cows")
LEMMINGS are those who support the Xbox and its entire franchise (Comes from the 6th generation where Microsoft fanboys believed anything that Microsoft said. And also because they listen to all of the Microsoft commands, like "jump off a cliff".)
SHEEP are those who support Nintendo and their entire franchise (They are called sheep because they blindly followed anything that Nintendo said.)
MANTICORES are those who support all systems. It's a rarely used term. They are called manticores because they are a mixture of a lot of animals. Now you see "multi-system owners" in place of this formerly common name, although don't be mistaken, a multi-system owner is not impartial towards all systems like a manticore.
Half the people posting here are lying to themselves.
You're not a 'manticore' if you won't admit games on other systems are actually good games, even if you don't like that genre or system.
That said I'm an Xbox fanboy, but I also game on PC and and I'm really more a fanboy of genres than platforms or studios.
I like sci fi, pvp and rts games.
Yep, majority of posters are not really manticore, including myself.
I lead a Manticore lifestyle longitudinally (meaning, over the years I've gamed happily on most every platform and am open to any in the future that tickle my fancy). My favorite and oldest platform is PC, though, so I'll call myself a Herm, why not :-P
I'll be a cow and a hermit, more than a manticore, but since you can vote just once I'll go with Manticore.
Never see you as a Cow, but you're a reasonable cow I can say.
I am, technically; I do love my Playstations and don't feel the need to have other consoles. Yet I've played most of the Nintendo games since one of my closest friends loves Nintendo and I own a 3DS, as for the Xbox, most games I want are also released on PC so I get to play almost all I want with just owning a Playstation.
I voted fakeboy for the lol.
I'm probably a hermit, only have a gaming pc at the moment but not against getting a console.
I also voted fakeboy. And I believe Manticore will win the polling because everyone wishes to believe they are detached and impartial. But I think many are closet fanboys
I thought manticore meant you owned and played multiple platforms.

That's the description of manticore in the OP.

Well that's sort of what I thought it meant.
I don't not support companies unless they're doing shitty business for consumers. extremes....not "guy gets his PS4 locked bc his real name is whatever."
I don't support MS bc I hear the Marketplace sucks ass. As for Xbox....I could take it or leave it.
@mr_huggles_dog: Okey dokey. I read impartial and owns and supports all I take it for that. And not everyone claiming manticore is truthfully that, I am willing to bet.
I like this thread. It's like an AA meeting for fanboys. Too many of the extreme fanboys on this site are still lying to themselves and wont admit they have a problem. I'm disappointed in that. Some of you guys need an intervention. You know who you are! Come forth and unburden yourselves!
I love threads like these. They really bring out the liars and fakeboys. i mean just look at all the known cows on this board trying to pass off as "manticores" while praising everything out of the sony camp and bashing anything microsoft does.
That's not what a manitcore is

Oh god..
im a Sega fanboy - long live the dreamcast!!
<3 now that i could agree with haha.
Closest for me would be a manticore, but since I think the Wii U was a pile of garbage I guess I don't make the cut.
Dunno i like the Wii it's just not got that many games that feed my interest unlike the N64.
Manticore. While I definitely have my order of preference which is Nintendo > Xbox > Playstation > PC; I have all of the systems since I don't want to miss out on anything and I have both praise and criticism for all of them.

Who knew the title screen of mgs3 was gameplay?
I once made a thread just like this and it got locked for the silliest reasons. Just comes to show how biased the mods can be against certain people.
"COWS are users who are devout supporters of Sony's hardware. (The name comes from 6th gen characteristics where many accessories were needed to get the full experience, like the multi-tap, additional controllers, hard drives, eye toy, etc. This was called "milking" therefore getting the name "cows")
I always wonder about where this cows/lems/sheep came from. But the description of each one is flawed as I can argue they fit all fans.
Actually his definition of where the "cow" name came from is wrong, sony fans got the name cow from early PS2 disk read errors where many users would buy another PS2 to replace their DRE system before Sony fixed the issue (which ironically could be easily fixed by the user at no cost) thus the "cow" term got coined by xbox fans packing at Sony fans for being milked.
The irony of that name that xbox fans came up with is the xbox 360 had the highest fail rate in history and users were getting charged for services and add ons (360 needed pay to play online while PS3 had free online, you couldn't play netflix on 360 unless you had a XBL sub) in a worse manner than any other system or company ever before ($100 20gb hard drive ect) but deafened both the restrictive and over priced accessories as well as the XBL fees tooth and nail the entire generation.
This is why we can't do polls on this board. Everyone needs to post their "title" and then we can see who is full of it and who is being real. The results we have right now are total B.S.
I'm a manticore but a common sense manticore. I hope for all companies and systems to do well but I can acknowledge when one is a better product than the other. For example the PS4 is better than the Xbone and WiiU in every way. Some people seem incapable of accepting that.
Then you are not a common sense "manticore", you are now just a fanboy.
Lol, he's the biggest fanboy on here... talk about delusional.
I would consider myself sheep. I own an Xone and a PS4 also, but Nintendo will always be my favorite
Waayyy too many users claiming to be manitcore. Wouldn't really be a System Wars if that were the case., considering all the crybabies that turn up whenever a game flops or if anticipation builds up for an upcoming game.
I think a better question would be, what current system do you prefer? Everyone has one, even if they own and play all of them.
I try very hard to be a powerful cow.
Your effort is not in vain.
Have some respect. I'm trying very hard. Lots of effort was put into it.
@SOedipus: Owning all systems has afforded us this privilege. And everyone has preferences. Mine goes something like this:
1. Nintendo
2. Sony
3. Sega
4. Xbox
5. PC
But that still doesn't mean I can't be manticore and enjoy a little of everything. And anyone who's been around this place for any amount of time knows people say things they don't really mean. Just being here in this environment encourages us to act petty and stupid.
