Some of us just have to admit that we're fanboys, fangirls, or otherwise fanatics of something in our lives. Whether we're hardcore about a special movie, a special video game, or maybe even our world views or religion. That isn't to say we all are, but I know some of us are the kind of people who will defend our favourite things to the grave.

I'm not a Square-Enix fanatic. I'm not even a Final Fantasy fanatic. But one game I will say had such a huge impact on my life that it's almost like a third-party parent that I catch myself defending thoughtlessly all the time: Final Fantasy XI. I know it's not perfect, and in fact recently I've grown to hate it. But so much of it was so awesome that I still can't stand it when people hate on it for seemingly no good reason.

What about the rest of you guys?

I can't say I'm really a fanboy about anything, but lighthouses, fonts, and the workings of the mind fascinate me more than anything else.

Guitar, started playing a year ago in my final year at high school, and everyday when I got home I'd play till 11pm and not do any homework, somehow managed to get straight A's, now I'm in college and doing the same, but I've made time for college work.

Top hats, monocles, Planescape: Torment and Discworld.

Dislike any of the above, and while I won't rage or anything, you may get a look of vague disapproval. Maybe.

Quentin Tarantino films. Every time work/life has been tougher than usual I'll stick one of his movies on. Also his films are the only thing I can talk to my dad about, so that's a reason why I love them I guess. The fantastic writing being another, and the always well chosen cast have stole my fanboy heart.

I'm not a fan of the concept of a "fanboy", and I don't care all that much if a random person dislikes something I like. No matter if it is for a good reason or not.

It's not defending if your preaching another person to like the same things as you do. That's like a nutjob creepily preaching you on the streets about Jes... whatever religion.

But I do take great interest in: Hip Hop Music, many things Monty Python -related, Tolkien's works, TV series like Deadwood, The Wire... and a bunch of other stuff.

Perhaps even The Evil Eye. That's what I give 'em!

I'm seeing some kind of a pattern here. Yet I don't really get it.
