So i for one am loving BF3, but the bugs are causing quite a few bs deaths (its beta i know).

Ive always been a fps lover, but occasionally i feel the urge to throw/punch/break something after a series of wrongful deaths (console controllers are doomed because im already holding them during the rage; ps3 controllers are resilient though. They still work after meeting my wall at near fastball speeds)

Lately ive been worried about my mouse meeting my new 27" Asus monitor, and i wonder if there is a remedy you have come to find for brief episodes of nerd rage! Ive tried woosa, to no avail.

Ive thought about a tennis ball next to keyboard to throw, stress ball maybe. Throw some ideas my way.
 
Hire someone to sit beside you while you play, so if you nerd rage, they punch you in your face and bring you back to reality. :D
 
I like the beer idea more. My friend loves it when i rage, i can always hear him laughing behind me!
 
Get a girlfriend. My nerd rage has gone down by 500% since I've been getting some regular action.
 
Meditate :) seriously i had bad road rage and nerd rage, ive calm down a lot since i started meditating, also becoming Buddhist helped a bit :)

Your nerd rage may have gone down but your GF rage will increase at some point by 1000 percent.

Trust me I know :p

Unfortunately that is the price you pay to get laid ;)

Hookers are much cheaper, and you get a wide variety to choose from. Not to mention the lack of lawyer fees when changing from one to another.;)
 
Get a nipple ring and attach it to your mouse. That way, if you throw it, it rips off your nipple.
 
Surprised no one mentioned weed. A doobie always calms me down, and allows me to hit respawn and have fun again.
 
Grow up?

I nerd raged once in front of my girlfriend when I was 17. The embarrassment was enough to for me to change my habits. I still get mad, yes, but no where near the same degree.

i was gonna mention medical marijuana as well, but i figured that was what the guy suggestin medicating was talking about. :) i mean if nerd rage isnt a legitimate excuse for a weed scrip then i dont know what is!

Your kind of missing the point. I know I wont nerd rage if I'm not gaming. Trying to get ideas for quicl relief while continuing to game. Anyone who is competitive in nature will naturally get upset/ frustrated while gaming.

I can see sucking less really helping. Ill have to give that a try...
 
I think you need counselling dude, a friend of mine had nerd rage when playing games, broke a bunch of mouses, controllers punching walls etc .. turned out he was bi-polar all along he's on med now and doing much better when he gets owned in games

that's being a little dramatic. if you don't get angry every now and then during competitive things (like video games)...you're dead inside. you all sound like a bunch of women :p. have none of you ever had a good friend you were competitive with? my college roommate and i competed with each other at damn near everything...and we got pissed off with each other. that SOB was a natural at all things sports related and still is to this day. infuriating.

With all the violent video games causes real violence fud going around, I can see that making a real case.

Not quite... games are for fun, I am competitve in everything I do, but when someones better than me or I am losing I don't get upset. I just try harder, if that doesn't work oh well. It is a game, nothing to get upset or angry about if you ask me. I certainly enjoy tons of things in life but never get upset over an entertainment hobby. And I am not dead inside ;)
