Fanboys. What exactly makes them cuco for Coco Puffs? The man with the PhD and his sidekick try to figure it all out. The discussion not only takes us to fanboy hate territory, but also to trying to understand where these people are coming from. At one point, WillyBeans actually defends them. Clearly, he is biased. We talk 'Lost' love (but not about lost love), the biggest gaming franchises, the big three systems, the internet's impact on fanboyism, and the goods and evils of fanboys in the gaming media.
And if that weren't enough, WillyBeans shows what a fanboy he is for gamecritics.com when he busts out some HARD SCIENCE to give us the 'Top 5 members of the gamecritics.com podcast with the name Brad Gallaway'.
