1. Agree or Disagree.

Todd McFarlene ruins all forms of comics, video games, and action figures? I swear, if he slaps his license on a figurine that looks nothing like a character from that series of comic or movie or anything. I'm gonna kick him in the ding ding!

2. Agree or Disagree.

Parents who carry their over sized kid in a carrier. You can plainly see he's 5 years old, but riding around in a baby carrier? His legs broken? If not, then MAKE HIM WALK!

3. Agree or Disagree

People who love to argue if you call them SIR OR MA'AM. I'm sorry, but I firmly believe in politeness. If you don't like either, it's not an insult of age, it's just being a gentlemen. Get with the times people, I'm not calling you by your first name if I do not know you!


4. Agree or Disagree

Why are Christmas Cheese Baskets getting more and more bad tasting? Last time I had one, the cheese was moldy....I think it was the same one from LAST YEAR probably stored in a warehouse from eons ago....Is it too much to ask for some REAL Cheddar cheese and not American Cheese?


5. Agree of Disagree

I read in the news about two boys (Age six and seven) from Mesa, Arizona. who HANGED a Kitten with a PS2 controller (Kotaku.com). The Sheriff did not charge the boys with Animal Cruelty, instead they blame GTA Video Games.. Would you beat the livin' tar out of those boys and make them understand with a fair trail? I WOULD. A crime is a crime, no matter what.

Agree. I think that's plainly stupid and laziness on the parent's part to keep a child in a stroller or cart if they don't need to be.

That's why I don't say either one, especially over the headset. :)

I agree the most with 5. I hate people who choose to blame the wrong things when they should regardless pay attention to the facts.
 
6. Agree or Disagree.

Nerd wars. You ever get into an arguement with a Nerd about a subject or topic, that you know the answer to? Yet the nerd argues with you till his face turns red? Prime Example: Saying Fallout 3 plays nothing like the original Fallout 1 and 2. This actually happened and his response was, "That's what I heard!". So basically you're going by one person's opinion to argue over the entire world's agreement?

7. Agree or Disagree.

Japanese exclusive games and the games that will never be translated into English. (POINTS AT MOTHER 3 on GBA).

8. Agree or Disagree.

Don't you hate when you loved a certain game from a system from last gen and it's hard to find again?? It's not even 5 years old and it's like a challenge to find a sweet copy of Zelda Wind Waker!!! GRRRR!

9. Agree or Disagree.

Why is it every person that you say you love them, they freak out or they think you're trying to hit on them? Maybe I'm not creepy, maybe it's the fact that I care about my sisters or brothers out there? Does everything have to be some sexual reference these days!?

10. Agree or Disagree.

Old ladies who pay in change, if the price is $10.77 after tax for an item, don't roll out nickels and dimes. It's only going to make me feel guilty and pull out a $5 bill. (It's happened three times this week, don't toy with my heart! Plus I know God's testing me! You sick little joker!)

I'm a dad. Have you ever carried said 5 year old after walking around a mall for a few hours? To the non-parent, I say judge not, lest you be told to shut it. But yes, I agree. :lol

I agree on this one. People who can't handle politeness should not be allowed to leave their houses.

Well, you can always resist the urge to sell/trade such games. Otherwise, just enjoy the hunt for these games.

Heh. This is life, unfortunately. Women complain that men are not "in touch with their feelings" and freak out when they are.

Change is good. Try having people come in and drop $2,000 in cash instead of paying by debit or credit. ::)

What? No way, nerd wars are such much fun. I agree with every other one, but, being someone who had an argument over Star Wars yesterday, it would be hypocritical for me to hate nerd wars. :lol
 
Yea, I have nerd wars constantly. Sadly though, it's mostly defending the PS3 nowadays making them seem more and more like console war arguments...
 
The Nerd Wars: THe PS3 Empire.

Yes most epic battle.

@Dart, so you're saying I can have $2,000 for Christmas right? :)

Also, cheese baskets? super nasty, not a luxury....just like government cheese (downgraded)
 
1. Highly Disagree!!

First off, the initial MGS toy line was sweet and I wish I could find them under $80. And second, because he created one the best and most recognizable anti-hero/villain in the history of comics...Venom!

Honorable mention...Spawn.

2-5. I agree.

6. Disagree.
7. Agree.
8. Agree.

9. I agree but it depends. I've said it to plenty of friends and they've all taken it well. Maybe it's the way you're saying it that doesn't sound right? Tone of voice is a high factor in people taking it the wrong way.

10. I guess I agree. I'm very patient so this type of stuff doesn't really bother me that much.
 
First off. Venom is a good guy. He has to eat people's brains to stay alive sure but, Chocolate does the same thing. Also, Carnage was a total maniac even before being introduced to the venom. Secondly, Venom and Spiderman had to team up together just to barely be able to beat Carnage. As for Toxin, again Spidey needed to team up to defeat the villian.

Which makes Venom an anti-hero and no he's not necessarily a "good guy". And just because Carnage and Toxin were stronger, they still got defeated and are in no way as memorable as both spidey and Venom.
 
The only thing though, is that Venom is never defined as a single person though, so far there have been 5 different variations of Venom: Peter Parker, Eddie Brock, Angelo, Gargan, and the 2 She-Venoms: Weying and Robertson. Were as in Toxin and Carnage it was a single person for each making it easier to connect with.

I agree with your disagreement. Hating on Todd McFarlene became the cool thing to do once he gained popularity and notoriety. Its like when someone enjoys a band's music while they're still underground and undiscovered, but then starts to dis them and call them sellouts once other people recognize their talent. Don't hate Todd McFarlene because he's successful.

It's true. Some days, the mere possibility of a nerd war occurring is what gets me out of bed. Think that's sad? Then let me take a moment to explain to you the societal impact which is felt by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and after that I will impress upon you the incredible importance of engaging one's imagination in science fiction as often as possible. Do you believe I'm overemphasizing the relevance of nerd culture in the average, modern individual? Good, tell me why, make my day. :lol

When the occasion arises, remind me to not vote Dart in as Secretary of Defense. Or at the very least, force him to change his cabinet position to Secretary of Offense.

You are correct but because we're speaking specifically about Todd McFarlane, you are also wrong. Since Todd's main creation was Eddie Brock's Venom. And whenever anybody speaks about Venom, 99% of the time it's the Eddie Brock version, which is the longest running and most recognizable. Which makes the connection with him even stronger than Carnage or Toxin combined.
