What are you a fanboy of?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(person)#Fanboy.2Ffangirl

Fanboy is a term used to describe a male who is highly devoted and biased in opinion towards a single subject or hobby within a given field. Fanboy-ism is often prevalent in a field of products, brands or universe of characters where very few competitors (or enemies in fiction, such as comics) exist.

The term fangirl can be used to describe a female member of a fandom community (counterpart to the masculine "fanboy"😉. Fangirls may be more devoted to emotional and romantic aspects of their fandom, especially (relation-)shipping. However, it is commonly used in a derogatory sense to describe a girl's obsession with something, most commonly a male teen idol or an aspect of Japanese pop culture. Fangirl behavior can vary in intensity. On one end of the scale are those that, while harboring a crush on a particular actor or character, are perfectly capable of understanding that the fulfilment of the crush is never going to happen. On the other end are the girls who are said to be obsessive in their claims on a fictional character, even fighting with other fangirls over who 'owns' the character in question.

I watched some gameplay of Gothic.

The dude was killing these ostrich type creatures near a river and they would make a very load chicken clucking sound (the one that is constantly made in Foghorn Leghorn WB cartoons from way back when) and it was hilarious.

It looks like a combination of KOTOR and Fable. It can't possibly be a bad game if it is like that, right? 😆

That's what I've been telling people. It's like mix of Kotor and Fable, just with a cool storyline...

(so yeah, possibly a fanboy)

Well...if I assessed it that way from only one minute of gameplay and you say that's what it is...then it probably is a good assessment.

I'm really interested in it, now.

About how many hours to get through the game while also solving 80% of the side quests?

I could special order it from Amazon, I'm sure. Summer school is going to have only 2 classes...so I'll have LOTS of time at work.

Hmm that's hard to say really, been a long time I last played it through. (and I am so bad at estimating play time). If you are like me you'll probably want to replay at least parts of it though cause they have this great class system...

I'm a lonely fanboy of my own written/drawn characters.

Yu-Gi-Oh, Batman, Preacher, Simon R. Green's 'Deathstalker' books, Stephen Hunter's 'Swagger' books, John Connolly's 'Charlie Parker' books, Tenacious D, Gordon Liu (love his kung-fu movies) and thats all I can think of in one go.

I'm a fanboy of a lot of older cartoons.
He-Man
Transformers
Looney Toons
Flintstones
Voltron
TMNT
Power Rangers

And a fb of Bleach.

Too me British sounds plain stupid. Words are meant to be pronounced as they're spelled, and not every r is suppose to be silent.

Besides, what most people call "British" is, more often than not, the accent they hear in films & such.
We dont all talk like they do in Bridget Jones..

Let me rephrase myself then, if you're pronouncing "are", "aa" then you sound stupid to me.

What some people dont understand, is that "ah" sound on the end of words like "car", isn't because they're not saying the word correctly, it's actually how some people in Britain pronounce their r's.
It's all due to accents, and there are many different accents in Britain..

It'd be like me saying all Americans sound ridiculous because they drop their t's, for example..
But I know that's just how some people talk. Lots of people pronounce words completely differently to others, doesn't mean I can go round saying they sound stupid just because they dont talk the same as I do..

There's a reason car is spelled "car" and not "cah". If you're pronouncing it "cah" you're pronouncing it wrong and for the purpose of this thread your voice and pronunciation is about as attractive as a redneck's.

That's not correct though. The symbols of the alphabet do not have an absolutely defined sound. They are not phonemes. So there is no right or wrong way to pronounce it, especially in English where only the practice of the language defines its standards.

I am of course assuming you pronounce everything correctly 100% of the time & enunciate every single letter in every single word perfectly...
