Anyone else get stressed when gaming online?

[Emphacy]

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!

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 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.

Ultimate game rage (in TF2).

Contains a few swears though.

LMAO Just a few? That guy was epic.

As said above, yea the adrenaline rush as well, puts you right on the edge, like I said, makes you feel tense like you've been benching for days.

I prefer TF2, where i can just have a laugh and everyone is basically the same.

Everybody's the same? Hell, I can empty a whole minigun clip into someone and they won't die! It only takes them 2 seconds with that to kill me, I personally don't understand it, despite the fact I've been playing for 2 days.

It's great fun and very addictive though! Anymore TF2 players here, we should start a clan, the OcUK clan man.
