My recent discovery!

[Snipemare]

Hey all TLN peeps!

Now this is a weird post but i thought it would be fun. Have you ever did something that made you play better but it's kind of weird?! Well i wanna tell everyone my funny story! ;)
Ok so the other day i was getting fustrated because i was just not playing good, AT ALL! Now my room is always freezing cold and when i mean freezing i mean the air conditioner is on 65, IN THE WINTER!! So i decided to put on double pj bottoms ( so warm ) and a long-sleeve shirt, with a short sleeve shirt over it, and a hoodie on top of all that! Now that I'm warm and my body, especially my hands, aren't frozen, now im like Tsquared, FRAGGING LIKE A PRO! :D. Another thing that i found helps my gameplay is just watching the pros play because most of the time they know what they are doing and it boosts my confidence in my shot, positioning, teamwork, communication, etc.

Well that's my story now let's hear everyone else's. Post on here what funky thing you do that makes you play better!

Can't wait to read these

Thanks Everyone

Weirdly enough I do. My headset has been pulling at my hair for some reason every time it moves to the point where it has become painful and idk why. So I've started wearing a hoodie and the hood pulled up and my headset on the outside of it. It's actually really comfortable and I stay warm. I've pretty much decided I'm bringing a hoodie anytime I go to play halo or any other game from now on.

Lol antidote, same, i guess if i go to a tournament and you wanna find me just look for the dude with double pj bottoms, and triple layer shirts =P

[TechSlayer]

Lol. I do the same thing with pro gameplay. And ever since halo 3 I've been curling my toes and press them into them ground and it helps me focus and play better...
Yeah I usually wear my headset over my hood if I can't fit my headset inside with my cranium. :]

I switch controllers when I'm playing bad. That way, internally, I blame the controller for the bad play and it allows me to regain my confidence. ie... this controller is garbage let me switch ( switches )... okay now i'm gonna start destroying again. Its a mental trick like ones i picked up when I golfed as a kid to keep your focus and confidence up.

[KKismet]

Whenever I'm playing bad I YouTube pro gameplay or just watch and POV and it makes me feel like I NEED to play better and it works

[Luke]

I never play bad. Jus sayin. haha jk, yeah i can only play halo when my whole body is warm so i always have a sweater on. since i'm in Canada eh?

[ThisGuyPwnage]

in between games ill occasionally do a quick workout like crunches or pushups and that keeps me pumped up
also i listen to Bachata music through my mixamp and that gets me happy lol

if you dont know what bachata is, its domincan (spanish) music thats smooth and made for dancing with a romantic theme lol
what can i say?. im the casanove type

[HavkinKnight]

Oreos lol im not kidding i blamed things on running out of food. but no thats a silly one i do heres one thats more serious

when im playing bad ill wipe my hands and dry my stuff remove my headset close my eyes and take deep breaths to like calm down but i picture my self getting Double kills or running around the map smarter and then i get in a better mindset

i run hot water over my hands before I play. I also wear a hoodie whenever I play. I have a combine mini towel that i wipe my hands on in between deaths and games. :)

From mlg Dallas huh? Yea, i figured out that whenever i wear my hoodie my shot is better. And, don't laugh, but I play better after eating seafood; like smarter. Instrumental music helps too.

[Dust]

Yeah the one i got from Dallas. I like having music in the background when I'm not taking the game too seriously or when i'm octagon-ing, also I like to octagon before I get started generally my shot is more solid if i start the day with an octagon.

When I power up and shoot my Desctucto Disc at the wall after a bad game, I play much better.

Your wall must be wrecked :D

[SecretSchnitzel]

Personally, I like a fat pinch of Copenhagen long cut to get me in the game. Something about dipping while playing Halo puts me in the zone... And this is the only time I can dip without getting a wicked buzz, tired or burnt out.

Good idea with the bolded. ;)

[Dibs]

I wash my hands with warm water and my face with cold water. It makes me focus i guess

[Zee]

I get some hand-waarrmeerss, wait for them to get to like a warm temperature, and after every match I warm my hands up.
I also wear a hoodie, put my astro's on top of my hood, (because it tends to pull my hair too) and then I wear sweatpants. When I have a bad game I watch pro gameplay, to influence me to play better next time! :)
There ye go!
