Call the carebears already!

You guys ever had an evening when playing ET you just suck at everything you do? :)
For some months I was satisfied with my actual skill-level in ET. I didn't touch my config for about half a year and thought I finally had "my perfect config". Last few months, I never had the feeling someone could own me with his fingers in his nose till yesterday. I played with gD and everything was just suckage. I don't blame the team though the teamplay was just a fucking mess but yesterday, everything I did was just soooooo wrong. Pressing selfkill a millisecond after the respawn, running on every lottonade the other team was throwing. More in Limbo than in Game. I aimed like someone who played the game for just 2 weeks. Besides that my mouse (copperhead) caused some troubles because it disconnected every x-minutes. Last but not least, my pc crashed totally some minutes before the end of a war and I had to wait more than 5 minutes to reboot again because my windows didn't want to boot. I'm sure Mr. Murphy wasn't that far away :)

Out of frustration I smashed my keyboard a little too hard and now my enter & numpad(+) key are fucked up. I know it's just a game but sometimes i'm getting pretty loony just because i got no explanation why those things occur. I love regularity&stability and I finally thought I had it all and could maintain my skill level (low+) but obviously there will always be some days everything is planned to fail :D

So I just want to ask the clean people, do you often get this feeling while playing a game for a long long time?

It's normal, everyone has an offday now and then
only when im playing with lavod
yea man its a fucking conspiracy or something, both times when i played with him, i had a ping of 200 (prolly because he's trying to lag me out or smth to get better stats!)
Parent
Yah its easy to have off day or maybe there are just more cheaters on server then usual.
Only true good gamers understand that you can have bad and good days and accept them, and try to fit in with that mood they have then or influence the mood so it becomes good.
Read that somewhere in some gamemagazine.
after the crash I turned off the PC and saw Standard getting asswhooooped by Cercle Brugge. So afterall my mood changed :)
Parent
Whoop ass saves the day as usual! Now go and give your pc a big portion of non-damageable whoopass!
Parent
Omfg, this is soooo recognisable dude :D Thought I was the only one having these days ^^
This are periods of time m8...when u cant do nothing right in game...and they are called slumps
welcome to my world.
its normal, everybody got some "baddays"
All the time!
I used to have days when I didn't hit shit but haven't had one for the last couple of months.
Jij bent ook zo'n owner! :D
Parent
Very recognizable!
You're extremely lucky if this was your first time! For me, those feelings come and go and can change even daily. If I'm frustrated, I can't do anything right.
I know exactly what you are talking about i have the same probs every few weeks awell :(
i never smash my keyboard :PP but for the rest, yes often :(
everytime i get bashed by some random cheater
but luckily they get busted after a month and im happy again 8DDD
dood, i'm so fucking moody :D if i'm in a good mood i own (not in ET anymore since i haven't played it well in months) and if i'm in a bad mood i can't hit shit. dw man, unless you plan on investing in nC, live with it :P
had a smash 3 years ago while playing cs , smashed my keyboard so hard that my space button broken in 3 places + enter was fuckedin the keyboard.
everbody have got this problem sometimes very annoying.
mostly what i do play other game or something,cause my whole day get fucked up if i keep playing bad * BAD MOOD*
Every day since I play really active again. So since august or something :[
<3 rfki :DDDD
man die gast kan whine op vent
nu geeftem tenminste toe da het aan hem lag,en nie aan de laggende/warpende/luckende oppos
gg daantje
I also have it sometimes
i always egoquit, take my dog for a walk and eat something, and come back.
I feel exactly that sometimes :D
I've had moments when my net dies at crucial moments, mouse spazzes out for no reason, tipping coke over my keyboard/router etc :{
Thats Murphys ...............................................................................................................
NEVER ! SAME PERFORMANCE EVERYTIME :D
the thing i hate is that i sometimes have the feeling that my cfg is TOTALLY different when i play ET again after a while but i didnt touch anything in my cfg or ET during that period, i mostly reinstall n stuff but that mostly doesnt help much :<
and i freakin suck when my cfg changes, mayb its in my head, mayb not but thats my problem :<
everybody has his offdays! the only thing you can do to decrease the offdays is play as much as possible :p

what I also have when I didn't play for sometime, at the beginning my sens looks fucking high but I just need to warmup a long time then :/ after sometime it feels perfect ;p
thing you can do to decrease the offdays is play as much as possible

opposite here, the bad days often came after some evenings of playing nonstop
Parent
Sounds so familiar... it's so unbeliavable how aiming can be so hard sometimes... And yes, I've had the same feeling many times that everything fucks up :D

But when you get frustrated you shoulnd't think about it or it will get even worse :d

i would never smash my 70e keyboard
every day indeed...i manage to walk into any random nade and set off every random mine on the map or i could easily shoot 3 guys down to 10 hp every time (die pls m*thr#FckrS!! :P) and end up with 2000 damage given but only a single kill.

These way too random things frustrated me so badly i stopped playing...now i just watch the lucky ones :p
have the same, coz im sometimes totally tired after work
Neen, zelden of nooit Fiki.

Ik ben de rust zelve .......
