Question Pre-Game Rituals

This is a new topic I came up with...and I only just came up with it now because it just came to me now that if i dont do htis before I play a game I suck at it..so i call this topic.

Pre-Game RITUALS!

This is where I wanna hear all the crazy things you guys do before you sit yourself in that chair and get out on the battlefield..do you have yourself a cup of tea..do you pump the music loud?? I wanna know.

Sincerly, ColdCamV

ok well seeing as how no one really wants to get the ball rolling on this one I guess I will.

Pre-game I like to pump the music loud...I need something with a good bassline and that pumps me up to go out on the battlefield and give it me all. And it helps if i play it all during the game so that im always pumped but sometimes i need to turn it down otherwise i cant snipe

Don't have a ritual for gaming, but for programming i like to listen to the Hackers soundtrack.

Pre game ritual - come home from work and turn the computer on (boring huh)

Actually, normally I do a lap of the forums and some game and news sites, then kick off a game session.

* Switch to my main gaming rig (its find for leveling in MMO's but for FPS its not up to the task).
* Bring beverage of choice
* Crack open a bag of chips
* Hop on VOIP
* Hop in game

The Gaming ritual..
* Verdant abundance of profanities

Same here.

When I used to play comp matches I'd hit the public servers for at least 30 min (if there was no warmup team available).
