	Amazon.com: The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl: Books: Barry Lyga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Fanboy has to threaten them with his father, a lawyer, and say that he'll put child pornography on the principal's computer for the police to find to escape from being expelled for having defended himself from regular, systematic battering.
		Thus, Fanboy is an exercise in frustration for the adult reader because while he has legitimate issues (like his uprooting to this new neighborhood six years ago and some very real pummeling in gym class), his approach to them is often so immature that one has a hard time sympathizing.
		Fanboy and Gothgirl is a book about a teenage boy who is in love with comics, excuse me, i mean "graphic novels." He's an outcast to a lot of kids, and is a punching bag to the rest.

	Fanboy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fanboy or fanboi is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the feminine version fangirl may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession.
		The stereotypical image of the fanboy is as an unkempt, socially awkward, young man who may be perceived as a loud mouthed pseudo-intellectual.
		The word "Fanboys" can be a mnemonic for the coordinating conjunctions of the English language: "for", "and", "nor", "but", "or", "yet", and "so".

	Fan (aficionado) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fanboy or Fanboi is a term used to describe someone (typically male) who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby, often to the point where it is considered an obsession.
		The term originated in comic book circles, to describe someone who was socially insecure and used comics as a shield from interaction, hence the disparaging connotations.
		Fanboys are often experts on minor details regarding their hobbies, such as continuity in fictional universes, and they take these details extremely seriously.

	What is a "fanboy?" - RPGnet Forums
		Fanboy is pretty weak, but some folks should proudly wear the label, why not, there are worse things that you can be guilty of.
		The fanboy lacks the true interest in the thing itself; while a geek might know every page of his favorite show's Technical Manual by heart, the fanboy would only play at studying it, and never really get the details.
		The fanboy is interested in the role of geek, not the things that the geek himself is interested in.

	The FanBoy Culture - Blog Maverick
		Another annoying feature of a fanboy is that if he is loyal to a console, he usually goes to rival console forums and spams the place up with inlets about how his console is 'better'.
		Wired wrote about what happens when fanboys turn against their product because it didn't live up to the purity of fanboy expectations, as happened with the Fantastic Four movie.
		Fanboys are the opposite of the hipsters of 30 years ago in attitude, but I wouldnt be surprised if they are equal in their influence on entertainment and cultural choices of their followers.

	Fanboy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Though annoying and often disruptive, Fanboy is a relatively harmless Warrior because his interests and knowledge are strictly limited a single obsession, such as a particular video game, celebrity, television show, movie, sports team, computer operating system, comic book – almost anything, really.
		Fanboy’s compulsive fixation makes him very easy to identify, but it also arms him with supernatural tenacity in defending his fetish.
		A suggestion of a minor improvement to the object of his adoration or benign criticism of it immediately brings down a cascade of virulent abuse.

		Fanboyism is a communicable disease so make sure and keep a PSP or DS Lite with you at all times, just in case.
		As a recovered fanboy myself, I've gotta say the thing that finally woke me up was the realization that I was so worried about which company was winning the console war, but I honestly couldn't say why (I was confronted with this a number of times before I got it).
		Most fanboys are the way they are because they get some of their sense of identity from their console of choice.

		I think the funniest thing I ever read in one argument I had with a fanboy was "the good thing about fanboys is that they look at the facts." that has to be the most untrue thing I've ever heard...
		Fanboys, those like "Sony suck jajajaja" or "Final Fantasy is for Geeks.
		Good point, whenever I think fanboys I immediately think console fanboys, okay my previous post was directed against all console fanboys as you probably guessed.

		fanboy to go through and rephrase all the offending, well, phrases.
		"Fanboy" is often used in a poisoning-the-well sense to dismiss any arguments in favor of the main hero or villain of a game.
		It is also used in a similar sense by elitist "old-school" Final Fantasy fans to dismiss anyone who defends the Playstation-era games.

	Bite Me, Fanboy Cast & Crew (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The best thing about Bite Me Fanboy, apart from the music and the opening homage to the sixties Batman television show, is that it doesn't play out like you expect.
		Bite Me Fanboy has an impressive blooper reel, and it's through comparison that you can see that the actors are quite good and bury themselves in the roles of mostly sphincters.
		And if geeks are perfect buddy picture material, then perhaps a comic book geek named Nick, who drops a bundle on a Green Lantern Corps power battery and dons a mask and his fiancée's panties, totally spacing on their engagement dinner, is the perfect geek.

	Fanboy Complex : Drawing Parallels Between Gaming Nerds and Jesus Freaks - Associated Content
		This phenomenon, which I like to refer to as "Fanboy Complex" is hardly exclusive to the gaming community, as it pops up in just about every type of topic which can result in an internet discussion, ranging from favorite music to politics and much more."
		I would like to talk today about what has been described above as "Fanboy Complex." Not just because it's an appropriately demeaning term for a dangerously arrogant subsection of fan, but because such a phenomenon is rampant throughout all organizations, all products, all religions.
		I'm a Google fanboy and, to me, the mere questioning of Google's dominance is akin to blasphemy.

	What makes a fanboy tick? - Joystiq
		I don't really hold that against Sony, but it's fanboys continue to be in denial of this, even though a class action lawsuit has been filed against sony for this issue, and sony settled outside of court.
		when someone else comes along and says that another console is better than the one you bought, for a fanboy this does not imply a surficial comparison between the two systems (say in terms of memory, or whatever), but for a fanboy this is a straight attack on their ability to make decisions.
		So in fact saying to a xbox fanboy that the ps3 is better is felt like a personal attack on their ability to choose the best console.

		Maybe the “fanboy” comment was a little strong, but it is not uncommon to run into providers that think IE is the only browser, and design to it.
		I'll attest that you are not a fanboy.

	Console: Are You A Console Fanboy? - Kotaku
		We saw this quiz over at Guardian Gamesblog, pondering the nearly metaphysical question: "Are you a console fanboy?" We're proud to say we (and by 'we' royal we means me) are not:
		We hope you like randomly picking your answers, because chances are that the answers to nearly half the questions won't apply to you.
		We also hope you have some IQ points you can afford to slough off, because whether or not the author of the test has a Harvard Med doctorate in diagnosing console fanboys, he certainly doesn't have even a first grader's grasp of remedial spelling.

		It's a collector's item!!!" to a closing essay by the main character, Fanboy pokes fun at not only itself, but at the comics code, peurile plots, exaggerated bodies, teen angst, fandom, and just about everything else having to do with comics.
		And it does this without cynicism--it is not a critique--it is an affectionate parody created firmly within the confines of mainstream comics, and benefitting from some of its brightest stars.
		I think on the first reading of Fanboy I had my mind made up to dislike this comic.
