Device Reduces Stress While Gaming

I thought this was kind of humorous. From /.

"Vyro Games, a Dublin Ireland company, unveils a device today that forces you to relax while playing games. It is called a PiP, or "Personal Input Pod," and it measures things like the moisture in your hand to assess whether you're stressed. If you're showing signs of stress, your performance in a game deteriorates. If you relax, you do much better.

Yeah, but its really true, however you can relax too much.

I found by not caring too much about the score, relaxing, the kills came easier in UT. I had to tighten somewhat more to do competitive play, but again I just didn't care if I always came in first.

I've gotten to the point I never get sweaty palms any longer, but I'd hate a device like this, heh.

I used to get a little jittery before TWL matches, but otherwise I just play and don't get "stressed" about games. I find I have a lot more fun if I don't worry about my score or whether my team is good or not.

I find the games I play without caring too much I look at the score at the end and I am pooning.

Sometimes i pwn and sometimes i get pwnd. It's a vicious cycle....

I have learned that it is a game and I honestly do not care if we win or lose.

I do not get stressed as long as I feel like we are doing something constructive. If we are at least working together, capping flags and making the effort I have great games even if we lose.

When we play like crap and do not squad up or we do not seem to be accomplishing anything or just getting completely and totally pwned, that when it gets a bit stressful as I am not having fun then.

Also if I personally feel like I am just messing up really bad, that gets on my nerves.
