I'm curious how do you folks play your games? Do you stand, sit, crouch, lie down? Are you casual, hardcore? Big TV, small TV? Do you get into the game ie. in a driving game you move your body with the controller because you're so into it? So what's your set up?

Usually, I use a large couch/chair thingy... I also regularly lie down facing the TV - doing barrel rolls on the ground while screaming at the TV. It all depends on the situation really.

I either sit at my desk and play or I slouch on my bed. It usually goes that I sit at my desk first, then a hour or two later(usually later at night) I move to my bed. I only have a 25" sdtv with no real soundsytem. I plan on saving up for a hd tv sometime in the future but for now I'm fine.

lulz, sounds familiar to my situation except replace the PC chair with a sofa, the 32" with a 40" and mom with the cops.

depends on the game...

for all games i sit on the sofa, but the theme of the game is also a factor. if it's a bright game, action or otherwise (like un-charted) i'll have the lights on.. if it's a darker game, like dead space or something that is supposed to invoke fear, isolation etc, i'll play lights off

Recliner about 6feet away from a 42' LCD. I start out on the edge until I become frustrated at which point I slump into an awkward position cursing the game. Only thing that movies is my right hand when I attempt to flip-off the game (sad I know).
