What do you do when you get mad while playing a video game?

I relay don't get mad at video games.Then again I don't relay play any modern video games unless you consider the dreamcast or ps2 modern.

I cannot recall ever getting mad at a video game. It is, after all, just a game. I view all games as a challenge and love to figure them out with my calculating mind. If a particular game gets frustrating due to difficulty or such, I just shut it off for a while and come back to it later. No big loss.

Mellow out man...

I think I get mad more often with soldering/modding than with actual games these days...

If I get angry while playing a video game, I listen to some relaxing music and meditate to get my mind off of it; it calms me down fairly quickly.

Pardon me, I seem to have overlooked your gist when writing my original response. You meant what do I do to regain my equanimity? I stick another pin in my Guntz doll.

I scream profanities as I get owned either by the AI or by human players who are better than I am or do something completely retarded which results in me screwing myself over. It's what I always do whenever I get mad(but at least, I compliment the players who are better than me).

I just start playing a different game, start over from the beginning of the level or whatnot, or just do something else.

I bite my leg when something frustrates me.
But I very rarely get frustrated , so I can still walk.
