I know that alot of people probably have an urge, when they lose a starcraft game when they know they should have won or something, to fucking bash their keyboard into their monitor and throw the monitor out the window....right?

How do you guys control your anger? I have been "controlling" it for fear of the consequences, but sooner or later, I'm going to snap so I need some advice asap on what people do to control their anger.

Use it to play again, you start to lose when you no longer care.

Uh, find a kitten and punch that instead? At least the kitten will heal. Your monitor and keyboard wont.

On a more serious note, why not try and find something you enjoy doing that helps relieve stress? Do you lift weights? Jog? Masturbate? Any of those could probably help you relieve stress. If you have a bad game, just go for a short jog or lift a few weights to take your mind off it and relax. Or put a stress ball near your computer and squeeze it really hard when youre mad, like this rahhhh!
Basically, just take a break and do something else for a little while to help you calm down. Good luck. Post pictures if you break anything

Take a break and go for a walk or something, try to think about something else and your anger will subside.

I weight lift every day if possible. I never knew that was a stress relief thing. Also I just realized, I haven't watched porn in about 2 weeks....lol

Is there any way I can stop this feeling from coming again and again? I can get these "dark side" urges at least 5 times a day(can't mastruabate 5 times a day either)

Kick a tree then, as long as you don't destroy your computer it's all good.

I log off and get up and walk around. I used to go out and have a cigarette but since I quit I basically just walk around telling myself "its just a game its just a game its just a game."
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

don't take the game so seriously that losing bothers you
just chill out, who cares if you lose, you gain something from every game

If you lost, it's not the case that you should have won.
So the problem is your arrogance.

Yeah I'm not really sure why you would ever continue to play a game that makes you mad when you lose?

Example scenario: This guy is going for a hydra break in PvZ. I CLEARLY scout and know whats happening. Theres no lair, 3 hatches, lots of units at my front door and theres going to be a bust. I try to cut the corners and don't place down enough cannons that I need and end up losing. That pisses me off because I KNEW what he was doing, I had suffecient time to prepare for it, yet I cut the corner too much and hit a bus

Find something close by you can hit or throw that wont break.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

When you decided that you were going to cut cannons and risk losing despite knowing all that, you threw "I should have won this" out the window. You only should have won if you saw everything and reacted properly (ie throwing down cannons).

This is so true. This applies to me, I only get mad if I lose a game that I thought I had won or close to winning.

When I get really angry I take of my headset and throw it really hard in my bed (which is right behind my chair).
