I mean when playing games. Do you lean forward in your chair in anticipation of what's going to happen next?

Or do you lean back and relax?

So discuss below.

What position do you prefer?

I like to lie on the floor personally. A bit of an odd one I suspect.

I actually sit on the floor in front of my couch and lounge against it. Odd, I know. If I do sit on the couch I'll lean forward and play with my arms resting on my knees, and that gets a bit uncomfortable. My guess is that I'd just lounge on my couch if I had a bigger TV, and I sit on the floor to unconsciously get closer to the one I have.

If it is a singleplayer game, I'm leaning back in the couch slouched to the max. If it is something like Street Fighter or Battlefield, I'm leaning forward and swearing at the TV.

Hmmm... Lazyboys are so expensive yet they are very comfortable. When I get older and out of college if I do nothing else I will at least have a comfy chair and superior sound system. I declare that I will do it!

I definitely freak out sometimes. I don't know if I've ever done that over the mic with anyone here on GS. I try to remain calm if I'm playing with people that don't know me personally, especially if they are from GS. You guys don't need to see me at my worst.:P If it is me and my best friend playing, then yeah, I rage all too often.

Lay down or lean forward pretty much sums it up.

SOMETIMES I enjoy standing on my head.

I just sit straight up in my computer chair, with stero headphones in my ears, and dualshock or keyboard/mouse in my hands.

I sit in my chair pretty normal. Sometimes I'll prop my feet up on my bed.

I sit down on the floor and lean against the sofa. It relieves most of my back pain when I do this. When I'm watching a movie, I lie down on my bed.

Idk why but it is jsut the hardest thing for me to simply sit back and relax while playing a game. Whether it be pc or console i'm either sitting up straight or leaning forward.

I sit on my knees on the couch so I can get a better view of the TV. It hurts like hell during long gaming sessions, but I can't play anyway else and try to change my position every time a load screen or cutscene shows up.

My PS3 is connected to my PC monitor, so I sometimes sit at my desk and play. Although I usually sit on the bed, which is conveniently placed opposite my desk, in a random relaxed slouchy position.

When playing on my PC... well, I usually sit at my desk. Which isn't especially fun, but whaddya gonna do? Of course, if I'm playing with my wireless 360 pad, I can assume my random relaxed slouchy position on the bed.

I either sit on the ottoman or sit on the floor and lean against it. In less intense games I'll sit on the couch. I lean forward mostly for FIFA or PES. I've found I play worse the farther from the TV I am when it comes to FIFA/PES.

I usually sit with folded legs in my computer chair. If I play a console game I'm stretched out comfortably on the couch. :)

I try to lean back on the couch or computer chair, to no avail. Within 5 minutes I am leaning forward because I tend to think I play worse while leaning back.

Same here. Those things are so relaxing. I sometimes fall asleep for a second when I play single player games. :P

When my PS3/PC where on the living room I did just that also. But I've gone a step further and moved everything to the bedroom, so now I lay on my bed and usually game till I fall asleep :) .

It depends on what game I'm playing. I can't get all tensed up when I'm playing Sonic Shuffle, but I will lean forward and pay attention when I'm playing competitive or hard games.

I don't game on a couch, btw. Chairs all the way,

I just wonder why is that? I always have the belief that I play better the closer I am to screen and I don't think that's really true albeit the placebo effect.

I lean back on my chair and put my feet on my subwoofer that is under my desk, playing games wile drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette.

By far, my favorite moment of the day. I could stay that way forever, but unfortunately i would die.
