I know, i wish it wasn't true, but it did. I am.
Its everything I could want in a sci fi show, plus I get to play along side it in a game.
Too cool.

i don't understand what is wrong with being a 'fanboy"
is it so wrong to enjoy, and subsequently develop an emotional interest, and investment in a game you find fun????
on a side note the show is quite amazing despite bad cgi, and game is quite amazing despite its bugs.
At least you can run over the bugs in your Challenger...Quote:

It's horrible and we need less of it.Quote:

But that aside, very solid show, I look forward to the next.
I felt the slow dancing was more awkward than the sex scenes. So painful.
I was just about to make a thread, too... The show is so good! I want this game and the show to do amazing!
Hey I liked the song moment! Had that song stuck in my head forever :pQuote:

Just my oppion on it .
Thought the episode was awesome. Made me want to play the game more. I hope they can continue to make more episodes as great! Bravo!
Its cheesy in some places, but thats old school sci fi.
Just having a blast with the whole thing.
The game has major flaws, but my fanboyism is getting in the way of me caring. Hate both the game and show all you want, I wont try and convince you otherwise. But I will be over here enjoying this cross-media fun.
Been singing it in my head all day.Quote:

People wanting to participate in a community, end up having to wade through all the garbage spewed back and forth between fanboys and trolls.Quote:

I really hope the show and Game do amazing
fanboi = not spamming the forums with hate.
Ive been called a fanboi for games I don't even play just for acting normal with discussion.
Theres nothing wrong with being a fanboi, the only time its bad is when you get people who lie about the game in an attempt to trick people into playing..
Really the fanboi term is just the foundation for ad hominem attacks, which is a method of attacking the person rather than what is being said, in order to nullify the message. Its often the only way to combat someone being truthful with a truth you dislike. More often its used in politics..and yes game opinion has become more like politics which is unfortunate.
There is difference between a fanboy and a regular fan. Even regular fans (not just video games) do not like fanboys mostly because they are completely blind to any faults or shortcomings of whatever it is that they worship.Quote:

HAHA where people see a cheesy unneeded musical scene, others see a way for the tv show to portray the relationship between father and daughter.Quote:

Fanboyism usually comes with negative connotations, such as the inability to see reason, logic or understanding based on your/their opinion of the game. Nothing else matters, even if they are wrong, it's a selfish thing at times.Quote:

well im a fan and i have no qualms about saying if something is wrong with the game or show...i think being a fan is 1 of those " you have to roll with the punches " kinda things...i hate some of the notorious bugs in the game but im a huge fan of it...i think there's a big difference between a fan and a fanatic, i think the 1s you guys are talking about are fanatics lol...kinda like those stupid religious fanatics who think there's nothing that could be possibly wrong with their religion but there's always something wrong with everyone elses...so yeah, fanatics = bad , fans = good lolQuote:

Seeing other topics about Nolan being hot I have this quote:

I think I like the show more than the game.
Also, when The Ink Spots came on.....I lost it.
I have 3 of their albums on VINYL!
Me too. Great song choice. The show and game are amazing and both put together are even better.Quote:

The pilot episode managed to keep me entertained for two hours (The best pilot I think I have ever seen) and developed all the main characters personalities and made me feel for the characters.
The game is awesome. I have already beat the main story and prologue for the TV show and it is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The problem is the complaints. Since this MMO is also on consoles, players are not used to the downtime and bugs right after launch because not a lot of MMO's are on consoles. This launch wasn't the smoothest one I've ever been through but it definitely wasn't the worst. There were some people complaining on here about not being able to log on too and I got on just fine a few seconds later so I'm assuming a lot of the "bugs" people are reporting are actually their own problem with bad internet.
But too rag on CGI is kind of dumb.Quote:

You can hate all you want on the show or game, I wont try to change your opinion. Ill tell you when you're being a little rage monkey that loves to whine tho.
