Anti-frustration tips

I love gaming and i am not bad at it if i do say so myself but when i get killed by something i think is cheap or unfair i get pissed off and i swear and such and i feel like there are a million little people poking me with pins inside. it bugs me because i dont want to get mad and i need some help in ways to stop it

the things i mainly get mad at are things like trying a stage over and over and over different ways and it still kicking my ass, or mostly in gears when say i point my shotgun at a guys chest and pull the trigger and he is still standing not dead and he has time to turn around and shoot me once, from farther away than i shot him and kill me. the worst part is when i get mad if anyones around i feel like a big retard in front of them and i usually start doing worse in the game im playing when i get mad and it gets me madder.

i need some help if any one has some tips id try em

And please dont criticize me

yea that might work, like a stress reliever

any time im pinned down at spawn in R6:Vegas and keep getting killed and angry, i just bust out the shotgun. Takes out dudes so quick, and is not cheap in the least considering youre getting spawn killed with an mp9.

Also, just relax and breathe. It works.

yea dude...anger management

I punch the cushions on my couch and if I keep dying at that stage then I start playing another game.Come back to it the next day when I can look at it from another perspective (a calmer one).

Working out is a good one though, if you get frustrated often soon you'll be a walking tank!!

I know what the original poster means. There are times when you just get frustrated with a level or something (do to cheap AI, bad camera (like in Sonic. Man that game sucked!). When I feel like I'm starting to get frustrated with the game, I just take a break for a bit. Clear my head. Have a smoke. Kick a kitten. Go to Humane Society toadopt another. You know, release the tension. Often I find that afterwards, I can come back with a new take on the situation and often times complete it in a few (2-3) more tries with a new plan of action.elemental_drago

You also come back with a new kitten!

I totally get what he is saying. Just breathe and/or kick a pillow
