    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    While this might be the way games are heading (doesn"t tabula rasa boast an integrated voice chat?), I hope that day never comes. I can"t stand listening to most of the people who use vent. The voices remind me of how base most mmorpg players really are, and speaking about quests and stupidly...
