Control Myself

[Retrosaur]

I have a bad habit of swearing when I get ticked off in matches (either to bad teamwork, or anything else). I know that a temporary kick/ban can help, but is there any way to help control this?

I've tried not being too angry, but it's relatively hard for me, as a gamer, to control myself. Anyone here have any solutions?

Take hands off the keyboard/don't turn on mic, take some deep breaths and remember it's just a game.

Pure wisdom right there.

Press-to-talk mic buttons are there for a reason. If you get upset/angry, yell your heart out, just keep your fingers off that button. Doing this will help you not get kicked, or worse yet, banned.

Find someone near you and complain about the game and other players to him, i use that with my brother... poor him.

Everything in the game didn't happen.

You know I really want to say to play intoxicated but I understand that most people don't seem to be old enough to do that...

Take it from me (used to have your issue when I was younger) if you can't calm down then you need to explore doing something else. At the end of the day it's just a game and nothing was on the line expect your internet pride which also doesn't exist.

You should bite down an a hard piece of wood before you say the word/words.

Unless you feel it's a serious issue, you don't need to control it. You just need to avoid typing it or saying it into the mic. When people are in a competitive mood, many will occasionally get annoyed and vent with a cuss.

I do it and nobody knows about it. It's not like I'm one of those people that throw their mouse and keyboard around over a game.

Just unbind your vent key or mic key in game and maybe just talk in chat for a while until you have taught your self to calm down...

i talk with my friends on a third-person program and yell at them when I get angry, so yar.

And it amazes me how many people cannot figure this out on their own its the obvious solution....:cursing:

Oh, sorry, I mean I just rage on the keyboard. I have a mic, but I never use it (I hate my voice T.T) But thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it! Guess that's what makes Ego so great!

Yeah, like everyone else said, just keep your hands off the keyboard when you rage.

It may be a bit harder to stop yourself if you're a fast typer (and type your rage up before you realize it), but just monitor yourself, and soon it'll be easy.
