[No Right Answer] In SE++ (Best Revenge-Fueled Badass Ever)

If you're like me, you know The Escapist website mainly due to this show.

To my surprise however, I discovered that Zero Punctuation wasn't the only show in town over there.
There's also one called No Right Answer, hosted by these two delightful chaps up above. Every Thursday, Chris and Kyle (and sometimes third-wheel/substitute Dan) deliver a new video in which they choose a general topic to geek-debate over, each picking a particular subject to present as the best choice befitting the show's topic. Some of their friendly arguments include...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjhmNKskFg4
...Worst VideoGame Ending Ever (FF7 Vs GTA3)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEweH-A9dTw
...Best ComicBook-Based Cartoon (TMNT '87 Vs Batman: TAS)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbSrVu_qAM
...and Manliest Superhero Ever (Wonder Woman Vs Superman).
Liking what I saw, I thought I'd make a thread in which those from the forum could give their own two cents about their weekly topic and which choice is indeed deserving of said topic's label. However, there's a few guidelines I want to drop first before anything else.
1) No Personal Insults: Having spent years here, I know how heated some back-n-forth posts can get and said wild posts can get threads locked quick. I can also see how a thread all about arguing your point could more easily bring a lockdown quicker then others so right off the bat, no major personal attacks. I'm guessing calling someone here the mod-ok'd zing of 'silly goose' is fine and I expect to hear an 'ignorant slut' or two, but no major cussing at each other. If you've gotten to the point where can't argue your opinion without calling someone a piece of s#!t, you've gotten a little too invested in winning the argument and it's time to step away from the thread for a while. Speaking of arguing your point...
2) No 'X Is Better Because Y Is Dumb' Posts: I know this is SE++ and I'm not asking for you guys to write a thesis but if the No Right Answer guys can come up with reasons and rebuttals that last longer then three words, so can we. Think Final Fantasy 7 sucks because of Cloud or the ending or Tifa's boobs? Fine, state as much but at least make the effort as to explain why they make FF7 suck. 'Cloud is whiny', 'Ending blows' or 'They're too small' aren't enough.
3) Write-In Third Options Are Allowed: Everyone has an opinion about what the worst and best of something is and the two choices picked by the No Right Answer guys for the topic will most likely not be your own. Plus this is SE++ where thread-derails are practically required by law. So if you think you have a more deserving nominee for the weekly topic, go ahead and drop it in the thread. It must however be a legit choice for the weekly topic (for example no Michael Jackson for Best President Ever) and you must tell us in detail why it's a better choice then the two in the week's video. Again, no 1000-word report. Just enough for proper representation of the write-in as well as giving others enough fodder to agree or disagree on your opinion.
I can't think of any more rules at the moment but I'll add any if needed here as the thread goes on if I see it needs it or if a mod yells at me to add it. As for this week's debate, substitute Dan and Kyle went for the topic Video-Game Franchise That Needs To Die The Most. Do you agree with Dan that Sonic The Hedgehog needs to be put down or is Kyle right that Call Of Duty has been spread too thin across too many titles to ever be a viable series again?

Opinionated nerds arguing about bullshit is entertainment? I thought it was the worst part of hanging out with some of my friends' friends.

sounds like homework to me
we kill the batman
Generations means the series is slowly finding its footing, and Call of Duty just tried something interesting with Black Ops II
I've never played a Call of Duty but I'll lump it into the "too many games where you shoot things" category. I certainly wouldn't mind less of these games.
Like them or not, Call of Duty games have been consistently good games since Call of Duty 4
I know you hate the games, but really? Right before they make that long-rumored Silver Age game?
it was a JOKE
and i dont hate the games, i think they're fun as hell
i think the aesthetic is dumb and the misogyny is awful
I looked at it at first as a joke, and then thought "Wait, this is her subtly saying to kill the Batman series"
As usual I overthink everything
Batman batman
not batman video game
Never mind, I changed my answer
Kill Sonic
also sonic adventure 2 was rad and chao raising was rad and CRUSH 40 was rad and LIVE AND LEARRNNNNNNNNNNNN

They need to stop making three d sonic games though.
And I'm personally a bit burnt out on Zelda games though I wouldn't want them to die either.

I don't think it was ever "officially" confirmed but they have nothing else in the pipeline that anyone knows about, so I'm guessing yes
I imagine something will be said/shown at E3
it's simple; the government planted fuel tanks inside of frieza to make onlookers THINK there was a reflected blast, when in reality it was a controlled detonation
if I don't like a game in a franchise I just stop buying them
why should I care if it keeps going or not
