Science Vs Religion
Yup.
The old discussion of what to believe.
For the sake of this topic, this not about deciding which one is "better", but more along the lines of which one can provide more answers.
Yes, that immediately favors one side since they won't require evidence to justify their arguments.
But let's try to answer the following instead:
Can someone be religious and scientific?
Should these two merge to become something new?
What if we did learn one day that there is a God that made everything - would that destroy science?
What if it was proven that there was no God that existed? How would religion change? (if at all?)

Uber Vs Lyft
Here we have two competing services that offer the same thing, but are not available in all cities.
I have used Uber before and my driver was a college kid who sucked down Mountain Dew like crazy. He insisted that I sit up front for our 45 minute ride.
We ended up talking about sports, video games, his course he was taking at USC, and his experience during his time driving for Uber.
Some questions I had were about how he picked the time he was available, and if he had any limits to where he would take someone to.
One of his replies about where he would work is that he had many friends that lived on the coast. so, he would try to find people heading towards the same areas as his friends, then he would hang out with his friends for a while, then when he was ready to go, find someone who needed a ride close to where he lived.
That works of you are single and in school. For me personally, that would drive me nuts.
I don't know anyone who has used Lyft so I have no stories on how that service is.
Anyone reading this - have you used either service? If so, which one, and which did you prefer?

Halo Vs Mass Effect
In the not too distant past, this was not even close (In my opinion). But since the first three games released in each franchise, the arrow is CLEARLY pointing up for the Mass Effect franchise, while Halo tries desperately to be more like Call of Duty with every release (Yes, I know they are purposely targeting that audience, and in doing so, have left old farts like me in the glorious past of the franchise).
With the next iteration of Mass Effect arriving in 2017, will Halo 6 even be relevant in 2018 when it comes out?
Which franchise is better?

John Wick Vs The Terminator
With the arrival of John Wick 2, it's time to give him a challenge that would really test his limits.
Sure, almost all his kills are headshots (with a seemingly auto-aimbot enabled). We know the Terminators are tough and *eventually* you would think that enough bullets to the head would slow the Terminator down.
Could Wick survive long enough to finish off his enemy? Keep in mind that Wick uses a lot of hand to hand and up close combat to achieve victory. Against a Terminator, that would be a bad move.
So, who would win this fight?

Scott Bernard (Robotech - Cyclone) Vs Boba Fett
Well, there is a certain date here on FactPile where I take liberties and post a match that I want to personally see.
Anyone who's been on the site knows that these characters are from my favorite franchises - Robotech and Star Wars.
Many people already know about Fett and what he brings to the table. For this battle, Boba Fett needs to capture Scott Bernard alive in order to collect his bounty.
The battle takes place at the crash site on Earth when Scott first lands on Earth.
The Robotech cyclone that Scott uses has the following stats:
Flying 180 mph
Missile Launchers
Gallant H-90

Fett cannot use the Slave I to help. Instead he must use his tracking capture skills to get his target.
Will Boba Fett collect his bounty?

AK-47 Vs M-16
Another oldie from the past.
No one can deny the adaptability of the AK-47 and the amazing run it has had as the preferred weapon of choice for so many years.
The M-16 is the competitor that brings along it's own impressive set of configurations that allow for seemingly endless ways to customize the rifle to the owner's wants.
If you could only have one, and have a horde of zombies approaching, which would you want in your hands?

Pac Man Vs Donkey Kong
Yes, an old school smackdown of two of the oldest video game characters around.
First up is Pac-Man, able to keep up by consuming just about anything in has path (as long as it's not colored ghosts) going up against Donkey Kong, barrel-thrower, kidnapper and bongos banger.
Only one can walk away from this duel - who's it gonna be?

Bioshock Beatdown: Jack Vs Subject Delta Vs Booker DeWitt
This video match is one of the most debated posts on Youtube and I'm testing the features and other social platforms.
Overwatch Vs Battleborn
Yes, I know these aren't the same style of game. But for the sake of this particular match, we are comparing gameplay, visuals and the most essential element - FUN.
Characters that are diverse and bring a unique play style is a strength of Overwatch. Battleborn seems to be more of a "level" up style of play.
Regardless, given the popularity of these games, which do you prefer and why?
Return of the Pile?
Hey FactPilers -
Since my broke ass can't afford the hosting, I thought I would see how things go if we tried the FactPile model here on Blogspot, and hopefully, avoid the hosting problems.
I'll re-post some old matches and add some new as I figure out how to use the Blogspot platform.
This might work, so let's see...
