How do you recover from gamer rage?

[Pink_Pirate]

1.Bit lower Lip and Sigh.
2.Calmly put the controller down.
3Walk outside my abode.
4.Light cigarette and down a shot of Whiskey.
5.Come back in.
6.Repeat.

After a couple ill be drunk and scream into my headset like any other gamer.

ok..that is awesome.. and way better than what i've been doing (see post above), i'll have to try that next time.

It's usually something along the lines of "Curse you *insert anger causer ie Random Number Goddess* and just think of something calming.
If it's in MP, I just mutter "Lame." and get on with it.

 

[kilibot57]

Stop motherfucking playing

 

[ArcWinter]

I say "Aw, come on." Then I take out my knifing class and giggle maniacally.

 

[Mr. Squee]

By punching a kitten

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 hear you. No game makes me rage in the way that COD does. It's crazy.

Usually I growl, hiss, slam a pillow then go play Fallout 3 for a while.

Stop gaming, make some good food, put on movie or music and chill, I will forget about it in moments.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Soulpunching someone usually works for me. Or eat a baby.

 

[Ghostkai]

Get the Girlfriend round.

 

[Deathsane]

I bathe away the crappiness of my play.

 

[Magnalian]

If in TF2, I usually switch classes to Spy or Pyro or whatever, and try to get a few revenge/domination kills. And if that doesn't work, punching the monitor will have to do.

 

[KeefJM]

i take a break from playing for a couple hours, or sometimes switch games

 

[Jens Viking]

I do what Jay & Silent Bob does.

Oh trust me..Its the best thing i have found especially when you are faced with little 10 year old Nazi's on Halo 3 or COD:MW 2. Alcohol and Nicotine...Yum!

 

[MetaKnight19]

I play some relaxing Puzzle Quest. Or I get my Air-Bazooka and blast the next person who walks into my room. *evil laugh*

 

[Wicky_42]

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

I know what you're talking about... I prefer a cycle of pushups n situps (it's less messy than... sandwiches.)

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

Rage quit for the most part. Rage brake a controller in the most serious cases.

 

[HonkingAntalope]

I punch my cat, he's little asshole

 

[Kud]

I say a lot of rude words.

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Punch the floor however many times i need to, dosent work well in the kitchen (floorboards :[)
Then if I'm still angry get upset and stop playing and play splosion man for a bit, then when that pisses me off I go on fallout 3.
