There's so much anger in the consumer market these days. It seems like when a new product comes up, there has to be this bandwagon of people who roll in and start nerdraging over the product. Oh, <a href="http://www.apb.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">APB</span></a> isn't up your alley? Better nerdrage about that! You don't like <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Warhammer Online</span></a>? Rev that nerdrage engine nice and loud so your neighbors can hear it.<br /><br />Everyone's a critic and gaming consumers are far from an exception. Some of the comments around these parts are some of the most spiteful sentences that could be constructed. You have console hate, game hate, genre hate, even particular MMO genre hate. But, honestly, why? It obviously doesn't help anyone except maybe the person doing it. A catharsis, perhaps?<br /><br />So what's this <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/anti-aliased">Anti-Aliased</a> about? Honestly, I need rant article that's all about ranting. A hate article on game hate. Do two hates make a happy? I dunno, but I'm interested enough to try it out. So here's a few reasons why you should cage the hate and think twice before you open your trap on the forums you love so much.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/20/anti-aliased-a-few-reasons-to-cage-the-nerdrage/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Anti-Aliased:  A few reasons to cage the nerdrage</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/20/anti-aliased-a-few-reasons-to-cage-the-nerdrage/">Anti-Aliased:  A few reasons to cage the nerdrage</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 20 May 2009 15:00:00 EST.
