Listening to 60's music. Also when I am just like, screw this game, then I play amazing in COD4.
What strange things make you play better?

I constantly swear and taunt underneath my breath when confronting my enemies. It tends to boost my confidence and keep my mind clear. Upon hearing/seeing a Regenerator from RE4 or any other shuffling, lumbering but albeit creepy bastard I usually mutter things on the lines of
"Come on, come and get me..."
-fires shotgun-
"That's right, come on *****, you like it don't you?"
and lately, "Come on! HIT ME!"
Don't worry, I never do this online and even then, it's with the mic off.

I agree about alcahol. When ive had about two pints (not quiet drunk) i play much better at first person shooters. Other than that I find I play most games well when Im tired
focusing entirely on what's blasting out of my headphones, and keeping the game in my vertical peripheral vision.
Like others have said I find I play better when I've had some beers
And strangely enough if I'm playing a game but not thinking or paying any real attention to the game I do better..
Most commonly happens with GH and Rock Band. As soon as I think about it I lose my streak =/
Also on SSBB when I play online the games where I'm saying 'God I'm playing awful!' and generally cursing are the ones where it turns out I won XD

Same. I am a very talented gamer but when i've been awake for ages and pop a disk in my PS3 I turn from good to epic.
If I'm concentrating on exactly what to do I tend to overthink it and mess up. But if I relax and stike up a little conversation with myself(in my head of course...) I have just the right amount of brain power invested in the game. It might not be as weird but it helps if I'm playing as someone(or using the weapon) I like.
I would agree that having a few beers (say... eight?) not only has the odd effect of making me better at games (at least Crash team racing anyway), but also makes the game three times more enjoyable (even if it is a little confusing)
Also I find (not sure if this is relevant) when I used to do Warhammer 40k and the like if I continuously thought "I won't get this dice roll, It will all fail." The dice would almost always be whatever it was i needed.
Also ever since I played pokemon on a gameboy back in way old when, In RPGs I always hold down the attack button (or the button I used to select attack) in the hopes of a critical hit (and it seems to work)

a two-liter of Dr. Pepper and 18 hours without sleep tends to help me. I beat Halo 2 on heroic and five-starred Through the Fire and Flames on Hard.
