I'm neutral on the whole Marmite/Vegemite thing, having never tasted either, which is, by all accounts, the only way to be neutral on the issue.

I solicited advice from Twitter about how to improve at Final Fantasy XV, and keep potion suckling to a minimum. What I learned was that Greatswords are great, and also bad. They are both the only weapon you should use, and a weapon to be avoided at all costs. Wait mode is vital and worthless. Also: I should be using one of three different controller schemes simultaneously. What I'm trying to say is... "Thanks, Internet!"
Tycho Brahe, Penny Arcade

With a lot of old-school Trekkies (understandably) seeing Enterprise as an attempt to “re-do” TOS, and with a lot of new-school Trekkies (understandably) pissed that the new show wasn’t going to build upon the TNG-DS9-Voyager continuity, the show went on to polarize fans like never before. If you feel indifferent towards Enterprise, chances are you’re not really that into Star Trek.

"But no matter which Doctor is operating the TARDIS, one thing remains constant: he is either the most overrated or underrated Doctor of all time, in either the most overrated or underrated era of the show.

I’ve hesitated to bring this up for a while now, because I’m afraid it may ignite the kind of controversy that could rip the Muppet fan community apart, pitting brother against brother and frog against pig, but I can hold my silence no longer.

Critic: Now, depending on the version you have, this may lead to-
Cockney Child: The most unfairly cut song in cinematic history!
Crotchety Curmudgeon: The cheesiest fluff-crap in a film filled with cheesy fluff-crap!
Critic: The divisive "When Love is Gone".

Critic: (Sighs) Well... Let's look at the movie that has the internet orderly split down the middle. This is either the absolutely loved or absolutely hated: Man of Steel.
The Nostalgia Critic review of Man of Steel with Angry Joe

Yeah, didn't you know? The things you never talk about are religion, politics and Ghostbusters. Before the film even came out, the people went insane. If you thought it looked good, you were betraying the original. If you thought it looked bad, you were a sexist pig. There was no in-between. If you wanted to go see it, you were wrong. If you didn't want to go see it, you were still wrong.

In a bygone era, where JRPGs once ruled the landscape and many series of yore left their mark in gaming history comes one of the most beloved classics synonymous with the genre, that stood the test of time...because people haven't stopped arguing about it for two decades.

You go in that team
I go on this team
Divide everything
A flag or a number
Make 'em opposites
So there's a reason
Stigmatization
Okay, now we can fight
Divide everything
Just put it all flat
Justification
Don't think now, you just fight
Stereolab, "Les Yper-Sound"

"I think the make or break part of this episode is, are you okay with a live-action footage of a fly? If you can tolerate it, you'll probably appreciate the rest of this episode, because the town's overreactions are really funny. But as we can see from reviews, not everyone can get past this footage, and that's okay."

"That's it! The final, indisputable answer! Ah, who am I kidding, people are gonna argue this one forever."
