In his last GameSpotting piece, GameSpot's Adam Buchen wrote an open letter to fanboys that explicitly detailed the laws that should govern their behavior; you know, just in case they ever forget. His information is an invaluable resource, so for you wannabe fanboys out there (we know who you are!), this is mandatory reading!

I have a few pieces of advice I want to pass onto you in this GameSpotting. I know that in an age of multiple platforms and a huge amount of games, it can be difficult to remain loyal to one platform or one company. It's a real challenge, and you are all noble and courageous for taking on this quest. I have a few pieces of advice that I hope you all take to heart. It will help guide you down the path of the fanboy.
