Everyday. He always lies to impress other people about the amazing stuff he's apparently done, I feel sorry for him really. He's managed to earn the title 'Billy Bullshitter' even though his name's not really Bill.

My point exactly, you beat me too it by a long shot though...
But I also have a sixth sense for posers who think they know stuff about stuff they don't know anything about.
My friend does this with a band called Hollywood Undead, "I love them!!" He cries, then follows me round singing the first bit from one song, not knowing the rest of the lyrics/ any other songs by them
Oh okay. Yeah that is pretty asshole-ish. You know what's just as bad? Final Fantasy fans who only like the most recent ones. It's just stupid. (stated somewhere above me)Gfan_00 said:
alright ya wanker, listen hearDark Templar said:
that guy was being an ignorant tosser(much like yourself now), he didnt know shite about the game, and i wasnt saying that he wasnt a "fan" of it because he didnt play well, im saying he isnt a "fan" because when we handed him the controller, he didnt even know what type of game it was
the entire time, he was just tryin to get into our conversation and pretty much just be our friend
and he is now, so im not saying that it wasnt right for him to do that or that he should be penalized for it, i just decided to make a thread about it on here and see what other people think
so dont you dare call me an elitist douchebag...
I act like a fake fan to bug people I don't like. I might look stupid briefly but they look like wankers gushing about some tripe nobody around them cares about.
Alright, before I begin, I want to sort out this whole 'fan' 'elitest' thing thats going on.
As I see it, a person can be a fan of a game series/band/etc even if they've only played one game/song. That's fine, I mean, sometimes you hear or see something and just think "That is the SHIT". What I would consider a 'fake fan' is someone who pretends they have played/heard every game/song in a series/by a band, but have only really played/heard one game/song. Or if they've never done any of these things and claim knowledge on them. These people are annoying, but fun when they crash and burn when caught out.
Now, in my personal experience, I have a friend who is a more of a 'Yes Man'. He agrees with every statement/view/idea and listens to and plays every game/song we talk about. I mean, yes he's part of our group of friends so he doesn't really need to prentend to like the same things, but it gets annoying when you have an argument between say: Me and another friend about a topic. He'll jump from side to side very quickly depending on who is winning. He also listens to music my friends listen to, only because they do.
Example: During a recent school camping trip, me and my friend hung out in his cabin, talking and listening to music on his phone. He's into the whole Rock/Metal/Emo thing and I'm more of a Trip-Hop and Electronic person; but we find common ground. Anywho, my 'yes man' friend comes around when my friend starts playing some Bullet for my Valentine (of which, I don't mind too much, but it's not my favourite band). Now, my 'yes man' friend decides (I guess) that he wants to fit in and now starts listening to Bullet as well. Now maybe, he just likes the band, but given his very agreeable nature, the previous music he listened to (Mainly Pop and Classic Rock) and the fact he (very loudly) advertises the fact that he is listening to Bullet when around my friend's friends, I find that doubtful.
Although 'fake fans' may be a little annoying (and funny when they fail), a 'yes man' can be worse, because they are able to change very quickly, which is a trait I don't find particularly appealing.
Anyways, thats my two cents.

I had a friend that clamied to love Manchester United. He could talk about them for hours. He knew all the players by heart.
But then ManU started looseing and after a while he Started Loving Arsenal. He talked for hours knew all the players e.t.c.
In other words he loved whoever was on first place in Premier league

First set the difficulty to easy (although you may want to move it to hard when you read a skill book). Then create a character with unarmed or melee weapons as a tag skill (this will get you hroiugh the temple and they're still very useful endgame). Then chose a gun skill (small guns is the best but the others are worth considering), then the best skill is steal, if you use steal you can get virtually anything in the game for free. That should make the game less brutal, also try looking for free stuff or combat-free quests to get some cash early.Multi-Kill said:
It's often very easy to tell whether someone is a legitimate fan or is just doing it to fit in. Oftentimes someone who's an actual fan won't just comment that they like the game/series/band/whatever, they'll comment on one of their favourite aspects of it or one of their favourite moments. Meanwhile, someone who's just trying to fit in will often just exclaim that they like it, and often try to do so louder than everyone else.
