First there was road rage...

Now there is Internet rage.

Dear hellofromtumblr

I am writing in regard to your "how to make a gif" gif. I hate it so much. It is like a sucker-punch directly to the eyeballs. If I look at it for more than a quarter of a second, I feel nauseated. Even the memory of it festers. I have tried adding you to my ignore list, but apparently your "sponsored" status makes you immune to that, and that awful gif reappears on my dashboard at least once a day, like a turd that refuses to stay flushed.

I have progressed from mere irritation to a more aggressive loathing, and I have formally declared you my nemesis. The traditional ceremony consists of thrusting one's defiant fist at the sky and thundering curses against the prospective foe's vile name, until one's lungs give out, and the bitter world is washed away beneath the black tide of unconsciousness. Everyone else in the internet cafe was very uncomfortable. But such is the depth of my conviction that social norms no longer bind me! Henceforth, I will actively pursue opportunities to thwart you. You are my White Whale. I will dash my ship against the jagged shores of ruin, to try my harpoon against your wretched hide. When at last your devastation is complete, I will await my own well-deserved damnation unrepentant, just to spit on you in Hell one final time. You may take some small comfort from the fact that actual vectors for my wrath seem limited to hyperbolic note-writing, but I assure you that I am quite formidable in that particular arena! Cheers, Scott M Corpany

in an effort to go to npr.org

I typed in "no" instead of "np"

and happened across this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc

and now I'm into my 22nd minute straight of watching bloopers of The Office

This is a video off youtube, done by IGN. I bring this up, because it is the results poll for which of the two "headliner" franchise sequals - Medal of Honor: Warfighter or Call of Duty: Black Ops II - was being looked forward to more.

The Winner by nearly double the votes was Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Firstly, I am glad to see Medal of Honor getting some good press, even if it is a poll with a 15,000 person base (which isnt a small number by any stretch either). I think that MoH has the potential to do a lot of great things, simply because its a "newer reboot" on a franchise much like how Battlefield 3, and MW3 were their respective series "reboot".

What I have an issue with though is it the comments that are made in a lot of these posts/video's/discussions...Well not even really discussions is it, it starts as a discussion (usually) then quickly is consumed by the inferno that is "internet rage" when someone inevitably calls someone's mom a string of profanities.

Allow me my 5 seconds of "mic time" to spell out how I think (just an opinion) the differences between a set of games should be handled.

1) If you don't like a game, simply state you don't like a game for x, y, z reason. If you are saying "This game sucks cause its a piece of shit" not only does that not convey any point, but if someone wanted to have an actual discussion about why you (or anyone else) did not like the game, that leaves them no starting point

2) If you do like the game, take peoples criticism without blowing up on them. Yeah, it sucks to hear that people didn't like (insert game), even though you thought it was the best game this year. Some people just don't like it. If you can simply say "Hey, that's fair, you made your valid points (as long as they were actually valid) about why you didn't like it, I can respect that. You don't have to agree, you don't even have to disagree, simply say "okay".

3) This is the one I try and do all the time. Take a moment to think before responding to someone else's angry post. I have personally found that keeping an "even keel" so to speak when talking on message boards/posts help keep conversation on topic, which frankly is why I am there. If I wanted to argue about (anything) I could talk with my friends.

Now, these steps aren't new. They are not clever, and they are certainly not going to change the way people talk to each other on the net overnight. Do you think though, and this is a "for everyone" question, that it might at least make the internet a bit less of shit show then it currently is?
