Mine would have to be something like Civ5 or a similar game - Anno 1404 etc - something that's easy going and I can play while reclined hehe.

Depends on the stressor...

Sometimes I play games... and just kill stuff...

But lately I've gotten into Yoga and Tai Chi.. which tend to work a little better.

Depends on how stressed I am.... ya'know?
1- Hope shorinki lempo class is soon and let it all out on the stress
2- Find a certain friend and "play" fight. (i say play - i was marched down the street today unable to talk/breathe for an arm that was pressed on my vocal chords... I've kicked him in the face twice now... REALLY effective at relieving stress but only try with someone who you know can handle the **** being beaten out of them)
3-shout at an inaanimate object and punch wall/object
4-bang head against wall/desk repeatedly
5-play UT or any other killing game.
and as a final alternative
6- break who/what is stressing me out.

drinking sum more
going out

I didn't realise we were talking outside of gaming to relieve stress too. In that case the biggest stress reliever for me is either writing or my guitar, hands down.

I either play guitar, play WoW, or play Halo/CoD with friends on Xbox Live.

listening to water sounds like thunderstorms, rivers and streams, music, gaming, and making out works and cuddling also a plus- but thats if ur relaxing w/ someone- also try reading a book once in a while- its a good escape :P-

When I get angry, there isn't that much I can do about it. I usually go watch something really violent or look at some gore pictures, that usually helps but not always. I like watching this video when I am pissed, simply because its not very common to see a Special Forces person get beaten to near death as part of training:

Damn right.
There are other ways I get rid of stress.... but I can't really do them anymore :(

chocolate and a bath
One of the best ways to chill out - BUT i no longer have a bath... and standing in the shower with a bar of chocolate just don't work the same.

Used to take it out on the bf. But now that it's long distance, i'd need to wait till I saw him. And quite often i'm stressed because of attmepting to see him or having him come over when I don't have time for him.

I always used Halo to relieve stress. online.
I haven't been able to play online in a while though so I think thats why the past few weeks all I've really wanted to do is punch random people right in the mouth.....haha. It's pretty bad, I need something else to relieve stress until I get live again. HELP ME haha

or practice guitar.

I think I've already responded to this thread, but recently I've got back into Erik Mongrain's album 'Fates' .. and it chills me out beyond belief, while being a very interesting thing to listen to for enjoyment and as a guitarist (musically) ..

Here's one of his songs 'Air Tap' .. played live ..

Aye .. he's quite impressive. The technique isn't particularly new, but the method he uses to apply it is pretty special imo .. and yeah, in-line with the topic it chills me out pretty much within the first minute of the album, let alone that track hehe :)

Stress reliever? Umm... Basically ramming my head against the floor until I get that weird sensation. Not healthy, but I've got anger problems. So bleh.

Raoul

Wow you probably get headaches a lot hey Project Blaze. In the end I don't know what will happen but that's bad. Maybe you should think of doing something else than damaging your poor head

Put on some Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra, sit back and read a good book. This always relieves my stress no matter how unbearable it may be.

Project Blaze

01-10-2011, 03:55 PM

I'm trying to find other ways to relieve stress, but till then I just force myself to sleep... and a few other things... but that's the decently harmless thing I do now until I find something definitive (and fairly "normal") to relieve stress. When I wake up I'm in a better mood, sooo... works for now. lol

Raoul

01-11-2011, 01:34 AM

lol okay then, I could rather prefer doing something that would not injure myself or you can alway take your stress out on some person that you don't like in your road or where ever lol. . .that does help too:D

Project Blaze

01-11-2011, 02:55 PM

lol I dunno anyone in this town so I wouldn't know who to take it out on. XD Besides, I'm not really like that. I don't hit or get in an argument with someone unless they either screw around with my family... or... families... technically I have two, but that's sort of complicated. lol Anyway, unless they screw around with someone I know (including friendz!! ^_^) or for some reason pick a fight with me.

Soo, I guess I'm more of a "defensive" person. Other than that craziness, I'm one of the nicest guyz anyone will meet. ^_^ Sometimes too nice for my own good, but that's just who I am. XP

I'll have to try that out and see how it works out. ^_^

Samus-Fan

01-11-2011, 05:05 PM

Play Guitar Hero on the Drums!
Pretty good stress reliever.
Unless I have an off day, because than I fail out and then I get even more mad because I know I should be able to beat the song.
So usually, I talk to a friend about life or something, and if no one texts back, I then play Left 4 Dead

BlackPhazor

I'm not really sure. back at UB, first semester when stressed I'd usually take a walk somewhere, but the environment I was in had a relaxing effect on me. Second semester I was always stressed out so it didn't really matter. Sophomore year I don't remember what I did, usually I went for random walks with nowhere to go. When it really got too much I'd go to north campus and just walk around my old dorms.

Now i'm at home with nothing to do. Especially with it being winter. I need a change of environment or something. I could listen to music, but that kinda doesn't work cuz idk what kind of music i'm really into these days. I could play video games but they usually frustrate me.

Raoul

01-12-2011, 02:09 AM

lol that's the way Samus-Fan Left for Dead is lovely for a stress relieving game just killing random zombies and who knows shouting at them while killing them lol that can also be funny:laugh1:

Polishkid

01-13-2011, 05:31 PM

1: play my bass guitar
2: personal time with my lady
3: kill zombies
4: kill things very violently in video games like oblivion go blow up a deer with a massive fireball i made.
5: hang out with my band mates and jam to metal!!!!

Last time I was listening music Paramore and Flyleaf really loud that you can hear the music even by the shop lol that was really fun and shouting with the music I would say singing, but I had to shout to hear myself in my room lol:laugh1::laugh1:

lol Sometimes I blare my muzik so loud that I can't hear my "s" parts of trying to sing to it, let alone trying to talk. XD The neighbors probably get annoyed too. lmao

BobTD

01-16-2011, 09:17 PM

I thought this was what we played video game wise to relieve stress lol.

I dont really play video games when I get stressed, I read, but I have found after a hectic day I do use video games to relax by playing very open world or sandbox games. Games that let you explore where you can let your mind wander rather then follow objectives.

I have really enjoyed aimlessly exploring Morrowind and Tamriel, and the wastes outside DC, or the vast never ending levels in minecraft. Or the old west along the Mexican boarder.

Heck, even monster hunter has the option to aimlessly gather items or kill monsters with no objective.

Lol the neighbors should be really angry by now by me lol or I don't know, but when I listen to music when I come from work and then want to sleep at nights then all of a sudden they play music until 3 in the morning and then they sleep and then I get my revenge lol I wake up at 6 and sometimes 7 and play music really loud lol and then I laugh as I am playing it:laugh1::laugh1::laugh1: Revenge is best served early lol:laugh1::cheesy::cheesy:

XD XD AWEZOME!!! I think my neighbors are too scared I might do somethin' crazy if they CHALLENGED MAH AUTHORITAH!!! lol But revenge is definitely fuhn! lol XD Gawd I love that cold dish. Hehehehe >: )

lol I just yell at the TV when I end up screwing my character over into a Game Over. XD Or when I keep tripping myself up in some side mission or bonus thingy. That really gets to me more than it should for some reason. >_< But yea, I blame the TV. XD XD

Lol shame the poor TV getting blamed. . . did you hit your TV before lol I done that by mistake I think, because that time my PC's graphics card burnt and crashed so I hit my TV hard and then I heard in the end something is loose lol I think it was by mistake, but hey it's still working though lol:cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

XD I feel bad for the TV. I'mma cry for it now... *kicks TV* lolz ^_^ I never ended up hitting mine, my self-awareness is kept in check a lot so even when I'm angry I'm aware of what the consequences would be if I hit something and it broke. Which is odd, considering I used to just hit something when I got mad... or slam something. But then again, I always was the quiet thinker of the group. Believe it or not. :P ^_^ So I guess it was just a matter of time before I started becoming aware like that. o_O

I also like to say random stuff to make people laugh, even though sometimes I'm serious when I do. Like they can know what I've been thinking or something, not sure what logic there is for thinking they know what I've been thinking though. XD XD
