What do you do after losing horribly?

[Rusty Bucket]

Throw a hissy fit and blame it on my team. It's never my fault, i'm perfect. Seriously.

 

[NotAPie]

I...erm...
KEEL TEM AWE!
Okay no, I just suck it up and give it another go.
or I get a headache and then I KEEL TEM AWE.

 

[VincentX3]

Get laid and try again

Works every time....

 

[foamfollower]

being a very non-competitive person by nature, on the rare occasion I do play online, i use a good beating as an excuse to stay off online games for another month or two. that or I call my opponents big bedwetting dootie heads.

 

[w00tage99]

well i usually take a break and go to a game where i can just kill every thing in sight....like gta or maybe a hunting game...its a good way to get rid of the urge of throwing the console off the roof

What any seasoned gamer does; Proclaim it bullshit and blame it on something out of your control. Lags, controls, or just generally the game bending it's rules for the other guy.

This.

I can't even begin to count the number of times this has applied to me, but I'm going to assume it's well in to the millions.

Argue, say "What?", "That's gay", and "That's bogus" (ya I know it's a wierd word), go "arrggg", and keep playing.

Yes, exactly this.

 

[Agent Larkin]

I just go set up a game of civ 4 and nuke Egypt till i feel better.

 

[Zeidrich2004]

Left 4 Dead or something similar on easy. Nothing picks me up better than effortlessly taking down endless swathes of opponents.

 

[McAster]

If I lose in a competitive game, I figure out why if it means that much to me and then play some more to improve. Most of the time it doesn't and I just care if I had fun or not.

Now if I had to deal with frustration, then I would play something fun and that I excell at to conqure all that I see. These days it's Plants vs Zombies.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Well, last wee, my girlfriend gave me head for my birthday while I was playing COD.
In natural gamer's fashion, I slammed my controller down when I died. Into her head.
Her response? She hit me in the balls. Hard.

By the way, that is no joke I swear.

Pure gold.

 

[squid5580]

Sometimes I just play an easier game. Other times I just take my dog for a walk.

This with more cursing

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I don't generally play competitive games like that (mostly owing to a lack of being able to...) When I did lose miserably though, I would switch out to a game that I'm really good at and just let my frustrations out on easy/ very easy mode.

 

[deviltry]

Depends. If I fail against an enemy (Dark Souls, WoW arena matches, BF3) ? I analyze. And now most of the time it's "my dumb mistake, I'm such an idiot ><" or "enemy had better reflexes, kudos to him".

If a team mate shoots me in BF3, then another and then another ? I go on a team killing spree, get booted for TK and go for a smoke/check the news. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR KILLING ME ? I START TO THINK THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY THE ENEMY /rage

 

[Skoldpadda]

Usually, after being thoroughly humiliated, I kill myself. It's just what works best for me. It might not work for everybody though.

 

[omicron1]

Go play a singleplayer game. On normal. And crush my enemies!
RTS are good for this - you get the satisfaction of building up a huge horde and overrunning your foes, and it's rather hard to find an AI that can actually pose a threat.
