Now since the iCCup server is coming back up in a little.. as all us legit D+/C- players know, we will be getting fucking raped. Raped, best word to describe those first few games vs C+ + players.
Another word to describe them is rage. Rage, everyone has raged. Broken mouses, punched CPU because of lag, destoryed key board, tossed monitor at a cat etc etc (joke) but I need to know what I can punch so I stop wasting money buying new shit?
I usually just ground and pound my pillow until I don't rage anymore but that's not good enough. I want to hit something that's soft, but not too soft.
Suggestions TL?

Do you have a little sister? If not, convince your parents to get one.
But really now, wouldn't the obvious choice be some sort of punching bag?

In my experience, concrete walls are a great option.

Good one circa. I really loled just like that up there ^^^

I won games from people far better than me by playing anti-cheese style early on. If you simply win games you don't need to rage.
On topic: go outside and beat a random stranger. Then instead of the media blaming games for violence they can blame internet gaming websites! It's not a solution to anything, but neither is hitting things.

I used to just bash my keyboard, After that I started to actually punch my monitor into the wall feels pretty good. Though one of my Knuckles started to hurt pretty fucking bad after a while though (2months ago) and became all fucking big and shit. It stopped hurting like a bitch but its still huge as fuck. ~_~
Now i just do some air punches and do some push ups when i get crazy mad till i'm dead tired and don't have enough energy to be raging anymore.

Hit yourself in the head or the stomach. All the way till you end in a psych ward.
|
i sometimes talk to my self in a slightly irritated manner when im losing a lot. Kind of like Bruce Willis in Die Hard

I hear Red Alert 3 caused many dents to be placed in desks by fists.
|
Do people actually rage this badly? God its sad. Just don't get mad. Learn from you're mistakes and move on.
|
In reality hitting anything at all is a bad idea... I personally just go play some UMS to calm myself, but I rarely get made when I lose (It's cuz i'm a D-, I lose all the time) I would personally suggest taking a nap or even just lying down for a bit. Watching some funny videos on youtube or something might help as well...
|
Go outside, and run like hell while screaming until you have more energy. Just don't stab a girl.

dont stab some random teenage slut on her way to a party

how do you punch ur cpu? unscrew your case, take off the heat sink fan and then punch it? by the time you've done all that work, your rage would have been cooled down by then

Yes. Nothing else to see here besides an illogical rage-a-holic.

not espensive stuff.
I've found throwing things is as good as hitting them. books, water bottles, pillows...books... also, check what kind of door you have, if it will or will not break if you hit it. a door can be a good option.

studies have been done and if you take your anger out on anything it makes you much angrier for longer, even if it is stupidly satisfying
ive even noticed it myself, if i dont let myself get worked up over it i can lose all day but the second i take my anger out by swearing or hitting anything im like that til i stop playing

plus you get all that thermal paste on your fist, which is really annoying

when you lose you cant get mad
u gotta skate
|
any true rager knows that keyboards are by far the best object to hit when you're raging apeshit.
if you hit them hard enough, some of the keys might even fly over the room. it truly feels like some rage-induced-orgasm. (?)
|
do 20 pushups or situps that's what i do
|
|
Taking a deep breath is a good idea, activates the parasympathetic nervous system more strongly, calming you down biologically.
Also hitting your pillow works I suppose.
|
best thing to do is just to shake in anger. Hitting things breaks things, not shaking in anger may result in clawing at your face [yeah...ive been there] or some other maniac inspired attacks. Just seethe in anger, and stop playing if you think you *have* to do anything more than that.
Edit: In my defense at clawing my own face, I *was* cheesed...

Just learn to control your anger and have discipline.
Also you can't go wrong with hate masturbation.

Raging is frankly bullshit. Discipline is really freeing. In simple terms, u gotta skate
If you have rage, the first thing to try is pushups or running. It's a way to salvage productivity if you don't have self-control. If you can't do this, you need to designate a durable lawn chair or something and when you get mad, throw it across your yard as hard as you can. DO NOT break any of your possessions or anything that belongs to people you live with. That's just juvenile.

Just to provide the bigger picture here: Inhibiting anger is a big predictor of vascular/heart disease later on (due to elevated glucocorticoid levels) for humans. You guys are right however in the way that taking your anger out on something does not help (interestingly, it does, and very effectively, among primates). Taking your anger out on the person you're angry at (ie. revenge) does work by the way.
If it really makes you this angry the best advice is to find something more enjoyable and stop playing. Maybe it's just me but I've stopped playing multiplayer games entirely and found way more enjoyable things to do with my time. You're not going to become a top player anyway, so why not relax and focus on being competitive in something like academics.

Can someone explain this whole stabbing-a-teenage-slut-on-her-way-to a-party thing to me?
|
i just try to remind myself how stupid it is and usually get over it but of course once in a while a few comments here and there come out. Never personally mean it or anything. I think its alrite to get frustrated its just a natural reaction but i think theres better ways to blow it off then hitting the wall/pillow or bming your opponent. And usually you say really stupid things that really make no sense.
If my friend gets mad because i won by playing gay i usually just leave them alone for abit and they usually get over it too. When you confront them it doesnt work that well. I think most people get angry but after a few minutes later most people are back to normal unless they're on like full tilt.
I personally find it a lot easier holding my anger in bw than in other stuff.

The little sister thing really works.

oh the guy who said he does pushups when he gets mad reminds me of this one substitute teacher i had
he had a gigantic forehead and he was a part-time teacher at some middle school in skyline (ghetto area). His name was Mr.Hurst and he was fucking weird.
One time one of the cholo's in my class didn't wanna do some problem on the board when he was subbing and the substitute dealt with it really weirdly, telling this dude that he was ruining the classes friendship aura or something. the cholo told him "you're a fucking weirdo" and the sub says calmly "that makes me angry when im insulted. and do you know what i do when im angry?"
then he smirked and said "i do pushups!"
then he did like 4 girl pushups and everyone laughed and I guess he thought we were laughing with him at the cholo but that was not the case.
lol in that same class i had a substitute teacher who was a MAGICIAN and a motivational speaker. he showed us his motivational speaker dvd thing (i didn't know they had dvd's) about staying in school and pushing our potential to the limit or something, then he turned a 20 dollar bill into a 5 dollar bill. I don't think I actually learned any algebra in 10th grade : /

I just start hitting my bed nowadays if I start raging. There's been way too many times where I have fucked up knuckles for days because of nerd raging and hitting my dresser or something. Not to mention broken doors and a hole in the wall at one point. -_-

Punch through the wall like Barney Stinson.

I find it funny that the OP is asking for suggestions on what he could be hitting, rather than suggestions on how to stop hitting things....yeah you're really headed in the right direction....

LOL THIS BLOG
I have a really bad problem with rage. My bedroom door has a huge crack in it as well as the wall right next to my computer -_-
|
Don't punch walls 
I raged really hard one time (not SC related) and punched through the dry-wall in my GF's rez (almost punched through the one on the opposite side too)... took forever to repair

Just call your opponent a faggot, or point out that their race is imba.
If they are the same race as you, tell them they win by doing stupid shit, and that their a fucking skilless newbie.
