Just wondering how you guys and girls set up for a gaming session..how do you sit/lay? do you have a "gaming" chair or couch? Pillows, blankets, mcdonald's bags for cushions? I kind of go between a papasan chair and the couch, but have always wanted a dedicated gaming chair. I like to have my feet up, lounge back and relax. Drink, snack, phone and remote nearby, of course. If you do have a particular setup/chair, can you post a link? Moving to a new house soon, and want to set it up real comfy like. ;)

I do most of my gaming from the couch in our HT. It has a recliner in both ends and I usually play with my feet up and the back reclined. I find that the older I get the more I like to recline and relaxe when I get done with work. I do not think I could even game sitting strait up at this point!

FYI-- BB sells a "gaming chair". Do a search for "AK Designs" at the BB website (I would post a link, but I don't have enough posts yet.) It looks kinda like a high-end racing seat.
I was in line behind somebody purchasing one of these a few weeks before Christmas (the red one). It looked like a really cool chair. If you have a BB nearby, you might could go test one out in the store.

Mcdonald's bags???
Everyone knows that true videophiles opt for Burger King Bags. I have a VERY comfortable leather couch, and a coffee table my mom found across from her house.

I did see the gaming chair at BB, not too bad, although my head wasn't comfy when I leaned back. Besides, too low to the ground for me. They do have a couple set up at the local BB, in front of a 60" plasma w/ an Xbox hooked up, playing Madden 05.

One word of caution with that gaming chair, the one that sits low on the floor and rocks. Someone told me that they had a small child in the house roll over his fingers so just make sure and tell everyone to watch their fingers underneath the rails of the chair. And your toes for that matter.
We have one and I can actually see that possibly happening.
