What do you do after losing horribly?

[MrSnugglesworth]

I usually jump on my trampoline. Then shout at my friend (We usually play together) and blame everything on him. it makes me feel better.

 

[lostclause]

Get pissed yet don't show it. Or think of horrible things to do to your enemies.

There are few games better than TF 2 for this.
On topic: play a puzzle game or platformer. Those are great for a sense of achievement. Or something like painkiller to work off the stress.

If it's a single player game, I blame the developers for their terrible game design, curse them under my breath, and strengthen my resolve to beat the level.

If it's a multiplayer game, I blame my team for their noobishness and lack of teamwork, curse them under my breath, and strengthen my resolve to win the match.

Edit: Oh wait, you wanted ways to relax after a defeat. In that case, just put the game down and go for a walk, then come back to it.

Dude, he wanted actual advice, and this is a gaming forum.

Seriously, don't hate.

I consider games to be part of life btw.

No hate involved actually. That is my actual way of getting over a terribly loss at a game. If you want a game related solution, then mine would be simply switching to a different genre of game.

I dont normally lose that bad, but when i do i pick myself up again and give it another go. Somehow thats relaxing for me.

Same here. I can't finish on a bad game. I have to finish on a good one.

 

[Worgen]

the only games that really set me off are rts games, specificly when I play online, thoes somehow manage to set me off enough so I have to break things, everything else is meh

 

[Cheesezorz]

When I lose a game, I silently curse the victors with a collection of naughty words and then forget about it.

 

[Katana314]

Often, I'll switch to some goal-less video game I know I can do well at, while taking glee in causing lots of pain on people. GTA is great for that.

In TF2, often it just comes to me blaming my team for perfectly legitimate reasons.

 

[snpy94]

see how quickly i can break my T.V. with my controller...

 

[LilGherkin]

Look up say "Grrrrrrr" while shaking my fists, then just go back to trying again.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Whine, blame it on lag and then report the winners for modding.

That's what 90% of the community does, rite?

 

[Quadtrix]

Disconnecting is all it takes for me to feel better.

 

[Beefcakes]

I exploit a glitch in nazi zombies "nacht der untoten" that makes them all stand in a corner and then I buy the kar98 and just shoot heads till I feel relaxed, does wonders and is great fun with a friend

They fixed that
And at the same time, they also fixed my fun-having abilities...

What do I do when I lose horribly?
I just don't lose in the first place
[/lies]
Nah, I just tend to go silent (I usually play with friends over XBL)
Then, when (if) I start winning well again, I get all talky
So silence is my medicine

This man (women? I did my research) speaks many truths about coping with loss

 

[bushwhacker2k]

Start doing well on a different game. I don't totally get people who talk about wanting 'a challenge', mostly when something is irritatingly difficult I get pissed off...

 

[Inmate13]

I have 4 words for you:

Postal 2 on Liebermode

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

put the control down before I crush it. then quote Arnold Swarzenneger.

 

[Zersy]

Well, I just had a fairly abysmal run in TF2 today, but before you dismiss me as a whiny emo kid, I'm wondering what is a good way to relax or give yourself a sense of accomplishment after losing a competitive game?

If you have a PS3 get Flower and simply embrae in it's relaxingness
it's almost like weed

 

[Zersy]

Play Red Faction: Guerilla with every cheat enabled. It's the most satisfying thing ever.

But these's only 2 ?

 

[Azazcyh]

Play Devil may cry 3 with gameshark and just beat the hell out of everything.

 

[mrhockey220]

I listen to music. That always calms me down.
