How do you recover from gamer rage?

[ejb626]

I just came from a game of Modern Warfare 2 and GOD DAMN YOU FUCKING SNIPER CAMPERS AND RPG ABUSERS I WILL FIND YOU!! AND I WILL EAT YOUR...FIRST...BORN...CHILD
Sorry for that outburst I just get a little peeved when people have the nerve to...to PUT THE GOD DAMN LIGHTWEIGHT PERK ON AND KNIFE ME RIGHT AFTER I'VE SPAWNED *starts foaming at mouth* I'LL KILL YOU!!
OK, OK sorry I'm just upset excuse me

*Several hours of therapy later*

Now then, my question to you is after you have a particularly frustrating game online maybe you couldn't get a kill, maybe everyone was spamming cheap tactics and weapons, maybe everyone's just faster than you and has better aim or all of those in my case.
What do you do to relax afterward. Me I think I might just abandon online FPSes

I hit the sofa a few times and then I make a few sandwiches.

Stop for a second, crack open a can of relentless put on some disturbed/dragonforce/slipknot and go leroy jenkins on their asses.

I lob something at the wall (e.g. controller, glass, fist etc.) and then turn off the console and think of a plan how to travel back in time and destroy the person (as a fetus) who kept pissing me off in the game of Modern Warfare 2 because they have reduced me to boosting.

a good ole fasion rage quit is good enough for me

 

[Icecoldcynic]

I just stop playing for maybe 5 minutes and relax. Generally it doesn't happen to me in multiplayer games so much as insanely hard singleplayer ones.

Stop Playing the Game, and Start Getting Even, and finding everyone in that server, and beating them senseless...

I go to the Escapist! Or I spend time with my real friends, instead of the random masses you find on LIVE.

There is a punching bag in the next room in which I can vent my anger out

 

[Sassafrass]

I break out the Hymn of the Faith. Works a treat.

and a beer to flush it down.

 

[Run Forrest Run]

Throw something really soft within arms reach really hard against the window.

 

[Snotnarok]

Play a different game usually works.

harvest moon always succeeds there.

 

[kawaiiamethist]

I walk away and watch something like Red vs Blue, Foamy the Squirrel, or Zero Punctuation.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Punch hobos.

I don't get gamer rages, because I'm not childish.
