The title says it all. What do you do when yer mad? Do you scream into a pillow? Plow your car into a fire hydrant? Plot an elaborate revenge that you'll never go through with?
I play things like DoW which allow me to slaughter hundreds and thousands of pixels, or Mount and Blade, which allows me to do the same but on a smaller, far more personal scale.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
Really mad? Like ''I just saw a picture of someone kicking a kitty'' mad? I become really aggressive in my manner of speaking, but otherwise nothing. I'll internalize..
Totally Bonker Mad, like ''my gf just totally used me and I feel like nothing else in the world will ever make sense''... I'll take a long walk, regardless of the time of the day, and I won't speak to anyone for a day or two.
[...] for conflict is the great teacher, and pain, the perfect educator.

I plot elaborate revenge scenarios I (usually) don't go through with. Inanimate objects get a fistful of physical wrath. Example: my printer wouldn't print something correctly so after multiple attempts I went out and bought a new printer then proceeded to beat the old one into pieces with my fists. I kept some of the bloody pieces (because I tore the hell out of my knuckles) around as a reminder for my new printer. It hasn't ever misbehaved.

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.
Depends on how mad. Casual to normal mad, I just breathe it out of me, and pace a bit. Thats usually all I need. When I get steaming mad, the only way to cool down is to just smash things to bits.
Gaze into one of my quartz spikes and use it to help dissipate the negative emotional energy ...
...Then throw it at whomever pissed me off (what? It's hard, rather pointy and WILL do damage to whatever it hits. Real "Crystal power" where it hurts, baby!).
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
Depends on the nature of the offense that made me angry.
If I did it to myself (all too common, I'm afraid ) I'll thump my head solidly against a nearby wall and let the resulting endorphin rush carry it away... and the pain is a reminder not to do THAT again.
For small stuff, grumble a bit and move on.
For larger stuff... At work, the boss is going to hear about it, because I work to hard to deal with your stupid that is irritating me. This level starts at things like 'dumping your work on me' and ends just shy of 'getting me fired.'
Going from 'getting me fired' but short of physical violence... you've got a problem. I am a firm believer in the words of Anton leVey - "Do unto others AS they do unto you." Get me fired, I WILL be hunting for the opportunity to return the favor. It... can be disturbingly easy, sometimes.
Once you step into physical violence, it's on. I got picked on a lot when I was 100 lbs, but fought back and held my own. I'm... a lot bigger and stronger now, not to mention more exerienced. It's pretty hard to scare me, physically speaking. Startle, sure (which can have its own consequences, as some people have discovered). Scare, not so much.
Stuff that's intensely pisses me off, like at work today when some dilweed jerk off told me to get his food while i was a the ticket booth, not the concession stand, just because no one was buying tickets, than claimed that all the salt shakers were there the last time he came, and were dirty, and so he decides to throw salt everywhere and tell me i have crappy bosses just because i wasn't helping my coworker who was 20 feet away, behind a different stand and proceeded to go on a rant about how people are lazy, and trust me i already knew.
For that situation i had to just grit my teeth and get the ass his food, but then i just thought, and after my shift i had plenty of choice words for him.

The first drawback of anger is that it destroys your inner peace; the second is that it distorts your view of reality. If you think about this and come to understand that anger is really unhelpful, that it is only destructive, you can begin to distance yourself from anger.
I mostly don't get very angry. If I do get annoyed, I tend to argue or drink. Or both.

my level of silence is directly proportional to my anger level. until i hit the edge... then i tend to get VERY loud and VERY violent.
in order to prevent myself from going over the edge, i tend to either play FPS games, or go out and "hit people with sticks" (read as spar with a friend of mine, using Amtgard/Belegarth equipment.)

I have a pretty short fuse but it means i dont really stay angry for that long. I dont really get that stressed either, if i've been under pressure for a while it only really manifests itself in terrifying panic inducing nightmares. Though these are only really unsettling at the time.

The guy who promotes a slave culture as being one of peace is trying to tell us about how OUR reality is distorted? F that guy.
