Ever heard of nerd rage? Wtf is it?
Its when your mouse goes so far up your ass that you cant do anything but shit out crap from your mouth and you continue to believe that what you have just done is a Good Thing. Seriously, Nerd rage is a case where people start to "yell" (turn on caps lock) at each other over various things in a video game. The most common I can think of is when here is an attempt at coordination of people and someone decides not to listen and fuck up. Thus there goes with the "youre a noob" comment and feces flying everywhere.
What is up with people arguing on the internet.
The most common thing you will see in online games is the flaming (as I started to mention). Flaming..Flaming is when you just bash and bash people for the most idiotic and prickish reason. Ofcourse, this is a result competitiveness and people getting a little TOO into the game, that their very life depends on winning or losing. But people, CHILL. Ive yet to see a game where people arent yelling at other in vent, or banging nerd rage into their keyboards.
Golden example.
On the internet there seems to be an idea that, because no one can see you or do anything back to you, physically, that it is OKAY to become a complete asshole. It is okay to make racist comments and spend hours, months, years, trashing people who actually did jack squat to you.
Whyyy? WHERE IS THE LOVE? PEACE MY BROTHERS!
Why, mmorpgs, must you foster douche bags to become douche barrels? (and not just mmorpgs but the internet itself)
And then, I also love how each douche bag move is backed up by the person's skill in pvp (player versus player fights). The more people you kill, the bigger douche bag you can be. The less skill, the less you can hate on someone who actually deserves it. A server I played had thread after thread of people going back and forth, with conversations I can pretty much sum up as "Im a dick but I have more bitches licking my ass for me so Im better than you".
No. That does not make you any better. All that means is you just dont know how to use the damn toilet paper to wipe your own little hairy ass.
I see the common response to douche baggery as, “why should I care about someone who I’m never going to meet” or “they cant do shit to me” or my favorite “ it’s a free country, I have the right to say what I want”. Ah sigh. (If you want to talk about legal rights, did you know that slander is a chargeable offense =)? ). Sure those are legit reasons but this where I think it just becomes a fact that people in mmorpgs are a little too competitive and they take that competativeness into every argument they can muster up. Attempting to make themselves look smart.
I would have examples of such douche baggery but honestly theres just too many to reference. I have to say go to any mmorpg forum and you will see someone starting fights.
This is something I will have to come back to.

So, My name is Goto. Im a addicted gamer who'd probably be found dead one day in her room clutching a mouse and a cup of noodles. Im what people
call, a Zai Nu (在 女). Which is a girl version of a lazy person who sits eats sleeps and poops, at home while playing video games all day.
But besides that Im a fine arts major hoping to become a game designer. My gods are Blizzard and SquareEnix and I hope to join these gods one day to create the next EPIK game.
I have been studying art for about 15 years now, and Ive begun to focus in on game art around middle school. Ive played a multitude of games throughout my life and I plan to only continue.
But hey, what DO i do when im not playing videogames, doing art, or studying? Im probably watching tv. Haha.....
