What are some things you do when playing that others might not that you consider to help you play?

For me I have certain songs for each mode whether its R&B for climbing or Rap for Ctf.
Alson when i play i never lay my hand down on the mouse but only touch it with 4 fingers.....im more accurate for some reason.

What about you do you wear lucky underwear?

I always leave a lot of space for my mouse to move around, and I only play well if I place my keyboard in a certain position, otherwise my arm feels cramped after a while of playing.

Remove my mouse pad. I aim better that way.

I swing my feet in my chair

I always play one single song/music in winamp until I think it's not helping me to relax and play better, then I'll just BRB and change music. I also always leave a box of tissue and refilled water bottles in front of my computer desk, so I don't have to walk out to grab a drink or whatever. I just drink while playing.

I constantly arrange my keyboard and mouse until I feel comfortable. The drawer beneath the top where my monitor is on my table holds my keyboard and mouse, and has this little edge that sticks out. For some reason, I like to have my wrists touching this edge (not sharp, its rectangular).

Typical Soldat Session for Pragma:

DigitalGunfire.com queued up on Winamp in the background - great angry stuff for fragging.
A drink, usually cola but sometimes coffee, to sip during respawns and between matches.
Cat likes to sleep in my lap during coding sessions, so she's taken to doing this during Soldat.
My wife's DJ headphones to block out all ambient noise* from the neighborhood.
Mental list of witty combacks for 'n00b' comments.

(* This really was a nice apartment until recently, when the latest rash of new tennants showed up. Precious little snowflake across the hall throws 5-alarm toddler tantrums constantly, new tennants down the hall slam their door several times an evening, someone has a new parrot somewhere down the hall the other way, booming bass cars pulling up out front every hour or so until 12PM, everyone here has a cheap car alarm that sets off every time the wind blows too hard, and I'm up on a large hill in a high-rise so of course helicopters don't bother changing altitude when they fly by. So good headphones, plus violent video games, have become a much needed catharsis as of late. )

Edit: my pair is 4+ years old, but it looks like they still make 'em, if anyone's curious. The sound quality is fantastic, and the earcups block a lot of noise. I've only had very minor problems with some of the more superficial plastic bits in the band cracking.

Try to be nice... strange I know

Also every time I look for a server I pray for a u13 server

Lol Same I usually have my keyboard and mouse in a certain position, and I also dont like wearing long shirts while playing Soldat. And I also don't listen to music usually.

And sure we all try to be nice

Stay nice and warm

Can't play when I'm cold

jrgp · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2008, 11:07:02 am »

I slouch in a really non-ergonomic position with headphones on, either connected to foobar2000 or my ipod.

Apon wearing the traditional hat and robe, I'll place some incense around the room to ward-off evil spirits and M79'ers while singing Latin hymns in praise of our Lord MM, the Holy Minimi and Saint Kalashnikov; then proceeding to purge the servers of heretics while listening to choirs from Immediate Music.

But really; I wear my camouflage design that's 3-4 years old (I have the screenshot of SSCC saved, so that it's always the same), and I'll equip my knife so that the little-tiny amount of loading time (not the delay) is taken away and ready for use when I need to get it out again.

Actually that stuff from Immediate Music is fairly good for Soldat....

I tend to get into a semi-standing position on my chair for whatever reason. Helps me out. And I listen to Great Big Sea some times, if you have heard them you would probably question it.

It turns out I listen to the most inappropriate music while playing Soldat. Yesterday I was listening to bouncy chiptunes while flagrunning. It all probably started that weekend I got the Daft Punk album Homework. Essentially, I listen to music which doesn't make me want to kill things. More music that makes me want to dance. I suppose that explains why I do all the crazy moves I do. I'm dancing. (not the thing where I jump in the air, prone, and unprone; that really is me trying to dance)
Sometimes I like to yell at the computer if nobody else is home. "RESPAWN ALREADY, DAMMIT" and the like.

I play Hip-Hop/Rap music, helps me concentrate and play better, i think about the music more than about the game and i don't get nervous i just own...

I shake alot when I'm playing soldat. I don't know if it's just that it's exctiting or something, but when things really start to get intense my whole body starts to shake.

Also, it burns when I pee.

tehsnipah · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:33:51 pm »

I somehow whistle "Free Bird" when I play Soldat.
The most wierdest thing I would do while playing soldat is holding my mouse and start to lift up and down the mouse for some reason....

I have to wear comfortable clothing otherwise it bothers me but that applies to whenever I'm on the computer or playing games. I usually don't have any music playing in the background because it tends to distract me.

iDante · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:26:09 pm »

I have to drink soda. Usually Dr. Pepper. If I don't my mouth gets all dry and I can't play.

MY_FIREMAN_IS_HUGE · « **Reply #19 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:31:04 pm »

I have to be in a comfortable postion or I will fail and I clean my mouse and keys after they get sticky from either food or other. I also play music because it gets me "in the zone".
