MTV & NY Comic Con looking for 'true fanboy,' could be you

by Majed Athab on Nov 7th 2008 5:15PM

We know Sony PlayStation fanboys/fangirls are the most hardcore followers out of all the console factions. So, when we caught whiff that MTV is looking for a real-life, honest-to-God, genuine, pure-bred "fanboy," well we thought that someone in the crowd of our readers could be -- dare we say it -- that ultimate fanboy (or girl) they're looking for.

The New York Comic Con 2009 is working closely with MTV to find that special someone to do a segment for the network's True Life television documentary series. Those of you looking at joining the casting call must be aged 16-28 and identify with: cosplaying, waiting at midnight launches, getting gaming-related tattoos and/or others. Check out the sign-up sheet here for more details.

to bad you want to play gears 2. i would have voted 4 u.

I'm pretty sure you left a comment on the 360 forum saying that you used to be a "Playstation Fanboy, but not anymore"

I can't see them painting fanboys in a good light. This can only end in tears.

aged 16-28, thats me!

Wow, I can't wait till this airs.

THAT POOR DUALSHOCK!!!! WHAT DID... wha... OH NO!!!

GET THOSE OUT OF YOUR NOSTRILS!

k well if im gonna be on a tv show im gonna be nervous and shy lol oh well i went for it

you know this will just supports the stereotype of gamers =P we "wait for midnight launches, buy limited edition of basically the same game, clocks sets at the same time, .... suxs , ...suxs.. PS FTW! stuff like that dont support MTV THEY"RE A SELLOUT hell they dont even live up to the promise of their channel as in ''music television"

Why is this article only on ps3 fanboy, not 360 fanboy ect?
I fail to see why it has been decided that a ps3 fanboy should, almost certainly, be the one that will get ridiculed.

CUZ PS3 is better then the $hitbox-360. Thats why.

that's a creepy picture

i would like a gta tattoo but it worries me that i would have the piss ripped out of me forever :P i know a guy whos got a gears of war tattoo and he doesn't hear the end of it

I kidd i kidd. Probably cuz Playstation3 and PSP fanboy get more traffic then the others??

Not sure dude.

does anyone ever win any of this crap anyway??
