Small wank, but hopefully better than non-wank?
Game FAQs Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories wank
This is a small, but redundant wank - the truth is, right now, it's occurring all over on various message boards. But since GameFAQs gamers always get their knickers in a twist better than any other forums I know of, this is by far the best one.
Background - Kingdom Hearts is an RPG videogame that is overall considered to be a really darn good console game. It has a sequel coming out next year, and a sequel (that takes place in between the first and second game) for the Gameboy Advance that came out a little less than a week ago.

The graphics in said sequel are good. The storyline is pretty good. There's one little problem - the battle system is radically different from the original. The original involved walking/jumping/running/spinning/what-have-you around, smacking things with a giant key and using magic and items. But KH:CoM instead uses something a little different. You still run around, but now you can only do the actions on these little cards that you get as the game progresses. Most of them involve smacking things with giant keys, magic, and healing, but it's really, really different to play, and the truth is, unlike the first, it requires thinking rather than blindly leveling up, especially since whether you or an opponent use a better card, it completely nulls whatever the worse card is.

Wank ensues. It's mostly just a few choice fools throwing their games down in disgust because they can't beat the first few bosses, and others telling them that it's not a hard game once you get the hang of it, and to *gasp* read the instructions, but there's some amusing stupidity going on. And while small, there is a definate arguement and wankiness going on.

ETA: And along the same lines, in that it's bashing those who put down the game
