Have you ever been in "The Zone?"

[Words Of Wisdom]

The question is pretty straight forward I think, but I'll explain.

In one of my favorite games (an FPS), I almost always start out a match losing.  Meaning I die 3 or 4 times in a row without getting a single kill.  I'm either too slow or I'm not looking where I should be or I just make stupid mistakes.   Enemy teams laugh at my skills (or lack thereof).

Then something changes.  Many times I don't even notice.  All of a sudden enemies just start dying.  2 kills in a row... 3 kills in a row... 12 kills in a row... 18?  I stop counting somewhere along the way apparently and pulling up the scoreboard is almost shocking because I always seem to have way more kills than I'd swear I'd just gotten.  It's kind of scary in a "Wait, is that really my score?" kind of way.  I may start out a match at 0-3 and end with 46-5.

I don't think I change my playing style or do anything differently at the start than I do at the end.  Quite a few of my friends say that it's just warming-up and that it's normal and that everyone does it.  Yet... everyone doesn't seem to do it.  Not like this anyway.

Does this happen to anyone else?  If so, how does it work for you?

I know this is kind of silly... >< ...but I figured I'd ask anyway.
