The reason for me starting this thread, is that everyone else seems so relaxed when they game, and I don't understand how?
Whenever I game normally, not online, i'm as relaxed as a fluffy pillow, but as soon as I go online, it's like I've been assigned to disarm a nuclear bomb.

I get all tensed up like I've been benching for 3 days, it's only really on FPS's but any other genre and I'm fine.
Is anyone else in the same boat, do you get stressed? I personally have to leave a game every hour or so to take a cooler or i'll probably start getting angry.

Someone please tell me it's not just me!
 
I get EXTREMELY ****ed of when playing LOL.

As the people on mumble may already know,

:P

And losing to cheese on sc2. i want to go to their house and smash there face in.
 
Yeah, Everytime I play CoD team deathmatch the spawn points are retarded, such as Respawning next to the enemy 90% of the time, Reason why I traded in Black Ops 2 weeks after release.

Any other game except FPS I don't though
 
Yea but you guys mean angry though? I don't really get angry unless something is really annoying me, I just mean stupidly stressed, like I have to win, must not die... ...
 
I don't really get stressed or angry with games, maybe the odd time with someone who is just being a complete tard and trying to ruin the game for others.
I find it quite funny when people lose it and start raging, I think some people take it all far far too seriously.
With online shooters like bfbc2, I find myself speeding up more and more to the point where i'm shooting at anything that moves friend or foe :p
I sometimes get confused and my brain locks up a bit when i'm playing a RTS like company of heroes, and my heartbeat starts pumping a bit when i'm about to do an arena in WoW, but I wouldn't call it stress :)
 
If I'm doing well I feel awesome.

If I'm not doing well I think it's hilarious, make jokes about how badly I'm doing and I still feel awesome.

I guess this is because I actually am awesome.
 
In the past I had fits of rage when playing competative games.

Now it just boils inside me like a "normal" person. :p
 
I used to, in the early days of my online gaming. These days it just goes over my head, and whatever happens just happens. I'm still competitive but I don't get anxious anywhere near as much and it's probably because I've experienced so many different scenarios now that I am not phased by many situations anymore.

Hmmm, I don't play online much, maybe that's why?
I may start to cool down once I've got over the online hype of it all, and start getting use to online scenarios.
 
You want to see stress in an online game? watch my reactions when someone revives me constantly to only be killed because the medic is doing it under fire/near a tank. Full on rage mode :D (BC2)
 
You should see me on cod black ops on my cousins 360. I will be so calm while my cousin rages when we fail. Then after and hour I start raging like really loud and he's calm.
 
Can't say I get terribly tense. I enjoy wiping opponents online, I LOVE a really close game, I do get a tad annoyed when I'm facing some kind of cheese or lack of cooperation/initiative from my team.
