This is my first blog on this site and hell i don't know if anyone is even going to read this but i feel like i need to express my opinions on something I've seen again and again crop up in the forums and messageboards of not only this site but of gaming sites all around the web.

Fanboys drive me out of my mind and i would suspect they do to a lot of people. They have such blind devotion for something that doesn't care about them. And while the (using system wars terminology) lemmings, sheep, and cows duke it out there is a group of gamer i have noticed again and again trying to be the loudest of the group, constantly butting their heads into everything and proclaiming that the PC can do it better, it could be an argument about which company makes the better vacuum cleaner and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one of them ran into the room screaming PC! PC!

I am of course talking about hermits. Now this does not address all PC gamers or even a majority, only this small and very vocal minority. I can not tell you how many times I've seen arguments between people over say graphics between the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. One person will say their game of choice from their system and the other will combat that claim with their own. and while these two are arguing someone will step in and say lol Crysis or post a thread of Crysis pics. We all know that Crysis has the best graphics from a technical standpoint, we get told that everyday by hermits and in many cases shown. Now a comparison between say Uncharted 2 and Gears of War 2 from a graphical standpoint can be a good debate, and even a debate that includes Crysis or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky or whatever game hermits parade around can still be a good one but when a debate is between two games the people in this debate don't care about a third game because they are focusing on comparing these two games not throwing in every game in existence into their debate. I may be rambling now but it can sometimes be hard to convey how stupid it sounds to me.

Every system has their share of idiotic fanboys unfortunately, but it seems PC gamers are one who feel more entitled than the others to receive stuff for free. Free maps, free mods, free hell, games, some in the L4D2 Boycott demanded that L4D2 be released free on the PC as DLC for that platform. This itself is ridiculous, L4D2 is a true sequel in my opinion it improves upon the original game in every way. Not everything should be free, while i think taking away the ability for the community to create content for a game shouldn't be abridged (I'm looking at you MW2) if a developer decides to charge for something its within their right, they can charge for their creation its how the free market works, don't like it? look elsewhere god knows the PC has such a vast library of fantastic games. The whole if its not good I'll just pirate it mentality among some in the PC community is ludicrous in my opinion and its just that, my opinion. I do expect to get flamed if people to read this but I bet it will be from the people who this blog is directed at.
