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.

Crimson Goth · « **Reply #2 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:05:18 am »

Remove my mouse pad. I aim better that way.

Hair|Trigger · « **Reply #3 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:21:56 am »

I swing my feet in my chair

-Major- · « **Reply #4 on:** June 12, 2008, 07:38:59 am »

yeah, I put my keyboard in the correct position. and takes off me possible long armed shirts.

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.

SDFilm · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2008, 11:21:48 am »

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....

LtKillroy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2008, 11:43:54 am »

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.

xtishereb · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:08:12 pm »

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.

matt · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2008, 04:02:56 pm »

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...

Trespasser · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2008, 05:25:33 pm »

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....

.Long-Range · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:16:55 pm »

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".

STM1993 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 13, 2008, 12:20:30 am »

On a side note: My music is loud, but my Soldat sounds are even louder, so I can actually hear sounds and react quickly. Without music, I just feel like it is too quiet or something. Music gives me some kind of mood to go on, though I normally play the calm music rather than the very active type of music, since I found myself concentrating better when having calm music and remaining calm, rather than spend all my energy away.

Platehead · « **Reply #21 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:30:15 am »

Unique to me - I dont' listen to music.
I have my homework in front of me =O
But I don't do it while playing soldat
I also have a cup of water at the ready - no flavoured drink, they are usually sugared, make me hypo and I can't aim.

STM1993 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 13, 2008, 03:59:48 am »

If I ever drink sweet drinks, I'd get a coca cola or pepsi twist. Cold ones of course, cuz its pretty refreshing. But I always keep a bottle of water alongside ; because cola is known to make my mouth dry.

Eclipse · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2008, 05:00:32 am »

1. Surround Sound, Scares the fecking crap outta you when an explosion happens.
2. A Lounge chair on wheels ( I built it 9 months ago, its bound to break sometime )
3. Stocked Minibar with coke and icecream or timtams.
4. Cold water (Soft drinks and chocolate make you dehydrated)
5. Headphones (When playing srsly)
6. Microsoft keyboard
7. DEATH METALLL
8. Soldat :3

Thats all I need.

Snow · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2008, 11:12:48 pm »

The only thing I do is drink coffee and move my massive monitor over so I have more room for my mouse. Ever since I moved, I haven't had a chance to get a new computer desk, so currently, I'm playing with 24 inch monitor ... on a dresser of all things. It's ugly and makes it hard to play sometimes, but I still do.

w00titsme · « **Reply #28 on:** June 17, 2008, 11:58:47 am »

Sometimes I eat those expensive chocolate biscuits that come in a big tray. Usually only when climbing or just doing some relaxing ctf <33

I sometimes get up and dance around a bit. I don't know why I do it, gets me loose I guess and prepares me for the battle ahead.

Anywho, I've come to find that I get quite thirsty now and I'm way too lazy to go downstairs so I have a water bottle near me at all times. I wish I had a minibar like Eclipse.

Then wear gloves while playing soldat, wow, that's unique and it will make you cooler for sure.

Lawl, I tried wearing gloves while playing before despite not feeling cold at all.

Makes you feel a little slower when playing compared to having no gloves though, but better than having stiff and frozen fingers right?

Every time I wipe off my mouse with a tissue. It's like a ritual. Sometimes I take off my shirt [lol?] and I make sure all the stray hair and Poptart crumbs are far away from the keyboard. And I go grab a new Poptart pack to much on while respawning. I prefer to have no music on so I can listen to movement cues.

JonWood007 · « **Reply #61 on:** June 24, 2008, 03:19:41 pm »

I just play the game. Occasionally play rammstein in the background.

Also, I have my own control scheme. I dont like the default asdw scheme people play with a lot. I prefer arrow keys. Only problem is it makes using the knife hard.
