I had never before seen an old nerd truely rage at these uppity tech nerds with their newfangled head sets and apparently not-real-people friends online. I had seen people joking about "back in my day" but this was a first for what appears to be true rage at those disrespectful young whippershappers... it makes me proud :P it means as a class nerds, have been around long enough for the new nerdlings to disrespect their elders nerds, and for the elder nerds to express the desire to wipe said nerdlings off the face of the earth while rocking their chair on the front porch, cradling a shot gun in one arm and a bottle of moonshine in the other. -Neep His response to the Nerd Rage was amazing, I could just see the Old Man Spittle flying from his lips as he raged on.

Overall, good idea but bad everything else. I have to say whoever did that job got a good idea but screwed it. Too bad it could be really fun.
