Gotta tape my middle/pointer finger w/electrical tape (not tight).. Swear it gives me an edge on my trigger finger.

Not really. I bet I could start one though. lol. :]

[H2O Soulja]

I pop all my knuckles and wipe my face..

Dren`

[Empathy]

I actually sit up instead of slouching in my chair. Intense matches FTW :D

I turn on my music on my comp to a certain level. Kinda low but just enough so I hear the beat of the pulse pounding techno. I also position my chair at a slight angle to the the tv at a specific distance. It may take me 5 minutes to obtain optimal "sittage." Once I get pumped by the music, I usually yell out "Yosh!!!!!" and start slaughtering.

I feel like an artist when the music plays painting a canvas of dead bodies and bullet holes across my tv screen.

Basically..I play..warm up games, until the tips of my fingers, are REALLY cold, then im ready. Why they get cold, I have no idea, they just do.

[icy]

omg, blue. mine do the same thing. it's sooo weird.

[Buddy H2O]

i play guitar before i play. Gets my fingers movin fast and sometimes too fast that i suck lol. I dunno it just pretty much gets my fingers warmed up and i have a littel better reaction time.

[Syrok]

if I haven't yet that day, I shower. I always play better when I'm clean.
Other than that I sit straight, like with my entire body facing the TV. Nothing really ritualistic though..

[Chocopolka]

I finish all my homework then take a shower. This way I won't get nagged during a game to do homework or take a shower. Also, I really don't like gaming in my school uniform so yeah.

[Xg Ricochet]

Make sure I have a jug of water and a glass so I don't have to get up to get a drink during gears practice.

[Iris]

I put my hair up, stretch, and do this weird thing with my hands...can't really describe it. :)

[H2O.pry0r]

I pop all my knuckles first then if my hands are cold I'll go to the bathroom and wash them with warm water. If I have a long sleve shirt on I'll roll up my right sleve so it doesn't mess up any mouse movements. I also put a pillow on the back of my chair for some extra comfort. I'll sit up straight instead of my usual slouching. Then I turn my speakers up really loud, and put my headset on really loud too. Periodically I'll wash my hands with warm water again if they get cold.

Uniform? you poor thing... :( I'd protest for rights to individuality.


Anyways I check my e-mail, the forums and MySpace before I start playing. Also, I often crack my knuckles and my wrists too, if not then at certain points during play.

Music, Starbucks Double shots, uh i think that is all
