8 Ways To Cope With In-Game Frustration

We all get frustrated at hard games. And it’s not a smart way to tackle insanely hard bosses/puzzles/glitches.

1)    Take a long shower

It’s one of the best options. Most of the time, the solution to your incredibly hard boss fight/puzzle of other problem hits you like a brick when you’re showering.

2)    Take a nap

This sometimes doesn’t work, but when you’re frustrated, after a good nap, you can tackle your problem ... again. And if it doesn’t work, nap again. And remember to do stuff like do the dishes.

  

3)    Eat chocolate/or similar dessert

Sweets are good for you! Especially when you’re mad! Chocolate does a really good job of making you happy ... but drinking five cans of Coke, eating a chocolate cake, stuffing yourself with caramel ice-cream, and heaping yourself with sugary candy works too! Just be careful with what you eat....

4)    Hit/Break/Smash/Punch something

This method works well with violent people ... which is pretty much everyone. Little brothers/sisters are good targets, but just watch out for who’s viewing the scene. But pillows work too, and the floor is good as well. If you have fists of steel, that is.

Swearing also vents out that anger. Try not to do it in front of people you don't need to be swearing at. 

5)    Listen/Sing to your favourite music

I’ve used this way quite often, and it works pretty well; just dance up a little jig and sing along (in case you’re a bad singer, don’t try this with other people listening.) Let the music wash away your anger....

6)    Watch a comedy show

Ok, it might be the 100^th time you’ve watch this really funny episode of a comedy show, but it puts you in a good mood. Laughing solves everything. Laughing a lot, and choking on the candy/ice-cream/cake/chocolate you ate earlier might not be a good idea. But then again, laughter is the best medicine.

7)    Play a sport (if you’re a sporty person)

If you’re a sporty person, this option might be a last resort-type thing. But at least when you volley/kick/hit/etc the ball to someone, you can vent out that anger. It’s worth a try.

8)    Play an easy and DESTRUCTIVE game

Everyone loves this. Breaking stuff makes you feel good. And the easiness helps too. If you don’t have such a game ... bad luck. Boom time!
