When i play starcraft and i win - i ******* rage and break shit.
When i play vs a terran and lose to banshee's i ******* rage and break shit
When i play vs zerg and lose to roaches i ******* rage and break shit
When i play vs protoss and lose to 4gate i ******* rage and break shit.
Moral of the story - ******* break shit.
I find weightlifting to heavy metal really relieves some stress. Just take it all out on the barbell.
Than also after your done you are to buggered and hopped up on hormones to give a crap =]
i internalise it, get sick and/or irrationally angry with myself and then verge into depression before realising how silly the whole episode is
bizarre sequence but it's worked (most of the time) for me
I do the same thing though instead of going into depression I tuck it away and let it sit there for several years until one day it breaks out and I kill people. Quite healthy I think.
Though really I just don't let things stress me. Worry less and enjoy more.
I think stress is a lot to do with you you manage it. If you let it become a big deal of often will, if you let is wash over you like water off a ducks back you can come out of it a lot better.
Attitude also plays a bit part in it. I tend to not get too stessed, especially when you think about others around the world far less well off than you are. And also how short life is.
People have already mentioned many ways top manage it, and turn your mind to something else, such as fitness, and entertainment, and I agree with them all as well.
Funny that someone mentioned SC2 as a release, I often find myself most stressed playing SC2!
I slap my headphones in and go for a walk.. call my mother and talk shit.. or fire up stargate sg1, stargate atlantis or generation kill and just crawl into bed :P
Actually, lately I've been browsing twitch.tv if stressed. Pretty relaxing checking out the scene other competitive games community, such as fighting game, speed runs, even chess ~!
