I don't think I'd care for either of them in real life. Fanboy would be amusing for a bit, but he's a little too full of himself and unhealthily obsessed with his hobbies to spend much time with, unless you're just as obsessive yourself. McCrow on the other hand I imagine would just be horrifying from the get-go; he's the kind of guy that's obviously just looking for a reason to start a fight and large/aggressive enough that you already know you don't want any with him.
Both are entertaining from a distance, but terrible human beings.
