Ok so put your game face on and lets argue.....

Wired did a article on the

Top 10 Ways to Provoke a Geek Argument

What geeks dont argue - uh huh I'm going to admit that some of the ppl they mention I had no clue to who they were and yes that knocked some of my geek points down but I googled (and provided links for you). So of these top 10 which tends to ruffle your feathers some?

No real programmer would ever use PHP.
Comic books are just for kids!
Role-playing games are just for people who can't deal with real life.
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are so realistic!
Yeah, I got an XBOX 360 so my daughter could play Hello Kitty games. Is it really good for anything else?
Mac, Windows, or Linux? Does it really make a difference?
The Ewoks were the best thing about the original Star Wars trilogy. Greedo shot first!
Tolkien? Ehhh, I prefer Terry Brooks!
Joss Whedon is a hack!
I don't see what's so bad about DRM!

Re: Lets Argue

Does anyone really think the Ewoks were... well, good?
The Greedo shooting first thing is kinda a big deal to a lot of Star Wars fanatics...

I can attest that more than most of the comics out there today are either not-for-kids at all, or at least geared to an older and more sophisticated audience than in the past.

Re: Lets Argue

Definitely true about the comics Devil. The same can be said for a whole lot of video games too, but because the media is so out of the loop on both of them its never gonna be perceived as anything more than a kids thing I think

Oh yeah and Boba Fett could have taken out all the ewoks by himself.

Greedo shooting first was stupid(thats going on my tombstone)
