Every now and then you have a bad game at HoN or something else happens to make you mad. This anger get's locked up inside until we blow it out.
So, I'm asking how YOU blow off some steam when something bad happens.
Personally I shout really loud and beat something up(pillow, matress, cupcake, anything that's near) Or I play a 1200-1300 game as deadwood and yell "TAKE THAT MOTHERF***ER!" when i deadwood pawnch someone.

Bad. Make harm to another person's arm! That's if you're a drunk mod. lol.
OT: Sudden burst of cuss as you do a hat-trick. Or, if you can't actually do that, get in an EM and noobstomp haha.
Do something retarded but fun. Like Elder Parasite and Bruta on a Devourer. Or a harkon's on FA. Something along those lines :)

I will finish playing and read a book for a while if I get too frustrated. Or go pedal around my urban hardtail and throw some barspins, always makes me feel better.

It completely cuts off oxygen to the brain, if it doesn't kill you it atleast knocks you out for a bit.

So, I'm asking how YOU blow off some steam when something bad happens.
I exercise or fap. If I can't do either of those at the moment, I try to work myself up so much that the whole things starts to seem absurd and comedic. Once something seems laughable, it's hard to stay mad.
Shouting and punching things probably isn't a good way to let off steam, even if it's only at inanimate objects and no one else is around. The more you "rehearse" a behavior, the more likely you are to behave that way in the future (and possibly at a bad time).
The best thing you can work on is not getting pissed off in the first place, rather than getting pissed off and then trying to find an outlet for it.

I play instruments, I used to nearly cut myself with guitar strings how fast I would just jam on that thing, even if it sounded terrible I just did it to get the movement out of me.

I find you just looking in the general direction of the steam and exhaling is an effective method

OP should have added "...from a HoN game", it's where the thread is heading afaik.
Another way, drop the game for now and do something else.

OT: Yeah I didn't intend this thread to become a HoN rage thread, shouldnt have mentioned HoN in the first place. Anyways, I'll make it go back to my original intention.
This is what I do when I get angry during the summer.

I hate when people asks questions simply because they want the exact same question asked to themselves.
"so anything new? HIRHIRHIRHIRHIRHIRHIR"
"no, not really anything"
*long akward silence*
"soo.. anything new with you?"
"OMG YES IM GOING INTO SPACE ON A DACHSHUND WHILE GETTING MARRIED AND SURVIVING CANCER OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!"

More HoN obviously.
You get stomped, you want to play again to win. Reaffirm that e-peen.
Never go out on a losing note. Makes coming back to it later that much crappier.

I snap sometimes playing HoN. Especially lately since I've been playing with a buddy who is new to HoN but good @ dota. Ive gone from like 1745 to 1660 in a week. Typically after a bad loss I play a game like mw2 and nuke people. Other times I sit down with the wife and watch one of the following:
chuck, psych, simpsons, american dad, family guy, or vampire diaries (my choice... i know).
Basically I try to find a stress free activity. I know I shouldnt get mad at a video game, but nerd rage often gets the better of me!

i bottle it up and make other people mad. makes me feel better when people are crying about how bad their teammates are... or in mw2 when they call me a hacker because i have a heartbeat sensor.
beating up inanimate objects is bad for relieving stress or anger. it's been studied and acts of violence only increase your temper and aggressiveness. The thing that calms you down from beating up a pillow is the exercise and energy exerted from doing so. Better way is to just do some kind of exercise.

Some kind of exercise could include beating up a pillow.
