I get past what ever is annoying me, and then exit the game peacefully with a smug grin on.

i normally yell out some weird insult that makes no sense, this also sometimes stops them in their tracks with confusion for shooting at.

an example, last night whislt on mgs4 onling some ran around a corner and after pumping their neck and chest with nearly half a clip of an m4 somehow randomly killed me with a single shot to the knee and i yelled down the mic "Damn you black and or white canine whore of satan!" this made said person stop to type wtf for some reason leaving a 6 second open slot in which my mate rolled behind her and alshed up her throat.

Random ramblings over.

Stop playing or play TF2 instead. TF2 is a game where all you can have is fun. Hell, even death is fun. Fun death = No rage quit.

I don't get gamer rage. It's odd, in some cases I have the patience of a saint, and it others I'm a loose cannon ready to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. Gaming is one of the former cases.

I suffer from it mainly in SP games. And what I have found is I go until the point of exhaustion. Then turn it off and have a good sleep. Then wake up in the morning and I can usually beat the part giving me issues the first try. If that fails then nothing beats curling up in the fetal position while in a hot shower and having a good cry.

I make fun of the person (be it an 1887 camper, a knife retard, or just a general camper), let them know how inferior they are in every way to me, and move on. Often I play a different game until I calm down. Nothing relaxes after a bad game of MW2 quite like playing MvC2 Training Mode.

Depending on the situation:
- Shout out "FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" really hard
- Throw something soft with full power at a wall (A pillow most of the times)
- Get on L4D2, open console, get godmode on and start ragekilling every single zombie I encounter.
- Just ragequit the game and watch a funny vid on youtube. (Laughing counters anger so well.)

I don't rage as often as I used to though.

Just do something different or think about it and recompose myself very quickly. Rage-quit isn't a stranger either.

Hey I'm that knifeing SOB that you hate so much ^^.
On a serious note, I don't get mad I get even. ESP in MW2.
I don't know why people don't notice it but people have patterns when playing. When someone's pissed me off I study them for a while and rape them.

Such as a time in wasteland 2 snipers both using tac's.... Well I sneaked up kill turn to face their tac and throwing knife.

Why? Because I could and because i noticed their favourite hangouts, where they look most often and where they placed the tacs they were easy kills from then on. Maybe its just me. But when you move fast through the field you also have to think fast.

Noob Tubers I loathe with a passion. Thankfully a sidestep often stops them.
Campers not so. My rule is a camper kills me once. A good camper kills me several times. But I will still get him in the end.

Snipers... l2p seriously.

I never met a good sniper. A sniper should shoot any and all targets and within 30 seconds be at a new camp spot prefreable overlooking the old snipe point. Because you WILL get angry people after you.

Too many adapt the fire and forget... remember kill cams give away your position.

Not want to reveal all my secrets and tips ^^ gotta keep killin

4chan. surprisingly, it can help you relax, because as soon as you start lurking, you realize you're better than everyone else there. Also, a lot of caffine works, as does really loud music.

Two words: Creative Cursing.

Calling someone a "F***ING CAMPING DOUCHEBAG!" is fine, but calling them a "Soul-less, statue-esque brainless cripple with more ammo than common decency" is a lot more amusing, and calms you down faster.
