Are you an animated gamer? If yes, How animated?
By: megmaconqueror Date: April 29, 2013, 1:47 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Notice: If you aren't really doing a variation of the options in
the poll, or are doing it "subtly", then I do not consider you
an animated gamer.[sup]*1[/sup]
For me, I'm the forth option. I'll go full blown standing up and
moving around while cursing the tv/monitor when I get into
games.
If I'm not totally into the game, I will be a combination of the
second and third.
Even when playing TCO, I'll shove my chair back and start
yelling saying something like "WHY THE F*** DIDN'T YOU F***ING
MOVE BACK! DAMNIT (insert character name here) DON'T BE AN
IDIOT!!" haha ^^;
[sup]*1: I noticed a few people that I wouldn't consider
animated gamers, so I figured I'd elaborate on my definition of
an animated gamer.[/sup]

animated gamer? what...?
btw i don't understand why u typo'd the title like that when ur
english is so fine elsewhere and in the post itself.
anyways, i don't really FI to any of those options, but i picked
the 1st coz it's the closest. however i'm more like "ah f*** me"
in a more gentle way.
so instead of raging it's more like being disappointed in
something. in ur example, if a character didn't move like i
wanted it to, i'd just probably laugh at it, lol.

There is no type in the title. You're just under educated.
Anyway, back to topic. Then I would have to say that you are not
an animated gamer. Everyone has a little something when they get
frustrated, just like your "ah f*** me". For me, it varies
between standing up (and pretty much just leaving the area), to
making people think I have a mental problem. Haha.

"Is yes, How amintated?"
if this is educated, then yes, i'm under educated. but i think
it should read "if yes, how animated?"

Well, I voted for a combination of some of them. While gaming I
do some really ridiculous things sometimes. I often yell at me,
God, or the monitor. I too stand up and start cursing
someone...often my sister(don't ask me why). I do other things
such as start hitting the wall with my head(okay, i don't do
this...) and kicking the ground(not literally of course). When I
get too frustrated, I try to meditate a little and think about
it, because perhaps there is another way to do what I want... If
it doesn't work then I say "It's a conspiracy" and go to sleep
::).

Ah. You are right. I'm sorry. Please forgive my rudeness. I
thought you were talking about "animated" being a typo.
Could I get a moderator to change it? :D

Umm... anger management?
Just joking :D
I get angry all the time when gaming, I just control it and
don't let it affect others or me or anything else. Everyone gets
angry, it's how you act on it that makes you an awesome guy or a
jerk that no one likes to game with :)
Especially in multiplayer games like Dota I used to get really
frustrated and would literally curse under my breath and really
try to get back at the player who messed me up. Then I realised
it was affecting my enjoyment of the game, my performance at the
game, and affecting other people too, friends teammates etc. Now
I've changed my mentality. During Dota, this is my checklist
when something makes me mad:
Was it my fault?
Yes = ah well, think about how I can improve so it doesn't
happen again
No = ah well, nothing I can do then, think about what I can do
now
In any situation, just think rationally. Sit back, ah well, and
think about what you can do now to fix it rather than on what's
already happened. That immediately kills the anger and activates
the positive part of your brain.

Sounds like that came straight from a text book. Haha.
Well, yes you are right, in if you let it effect others.
However, every human requires some sort of stress relief. Which
comes in a huge variety of ways, because everyone is different.
While logically, the "safest" way to deal with stress, is to
stop, take a deep breath, and rationalize the situation. There
are people who are not rational thinkers, so that is not the
best way for that person to deal with stress. So they may have
to do something like, go play a sport, or something physical;
Others may need to just rant and rave for awhile until they've
cooled down.
Now while I do get very animated when I game. It does not effect
the people around me, it may decrease/increase my gameplay
depending on why I'm getting animated. However, it is never
directed at another person, just the game itself or me.
I am actually a mixture of doing something physical, ranting and
raving for awhile, as well as rationalizing it. I use different
methods depending on a variety of factors; Such as level of
stress, previous mood, time of day, level of tiredness. The list
goes on from there, but you should be able to get the idea.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking straight if I'm
stressed out with anger, so it's not like a math equation that I
calculate in my head. It is more of something that has become
habit after a lot of practice.

I've had my fair share of neighbours comming at my door for
yelling at the monitor too loud.
JK
I chose nr 1 but I don't exactly yell at my PC.I just subtly
swear to it and threaten to murder his entire family.
JK
Ok , maybe not..
