Comfortable Gaming Positions

I don't care what you say, there's nothing like gaming in a Snuggie!

Everyone likes to be comfortable while gaming, am I right? I mean, let's face it. You're going to be sitting in one position for a couple of hours (at least), so it only makes sense that you're as relaxed as possible for that time. After all, nothing's worse than losing a boss fight because you were distracted by a stiff back. I've seen many gamers with their own preferences and I definitely have a couple of favorites of my own.

Laying Down

My brother tends to prefer this method and when all you have is a bed in front of the T.V., I'll admit that it's pretty convenient. Sadly, I'm not too much of a fan of this method. Laying on my stomach while propped up on my elbows hurts my back after a while, where as laying on my back, even with a pillow, hurts my neck. Plus, I've always felt that laying down during an intense scene or battle was a little inappropriate. If you're laying down, it's hard to be on the edge of your seat without falling off. Just saying.

In a Chair

This is a favorite of Player 2. Specifically, my roommate's chair, which she is convinced actually belongs to her. Actually, given that she spends more time in it than my actual roommate, I can't really say I disagree. Seriously, though, chairs are nice. They're supportive and if you have a desk in front of you, they're the best for PC gaming. I enjoy my room's set up immensely, even if I do have to get up and pop my back every once in awhile so that it doesn't get too stiff. It's definitely an improvement over laying down, in my opinion.

On a Couch

Now, this is by far my favorite. Specifically, up against one armrest with one leg tucked under myself and the other sprawled across the length of the couch. So much comfort to be had in this position. It's relaxed. The cushions are soft. You can even prop up your laptop on the armrest!

In a Box, With a Fox

Ha ha, just kidding.

Blankets vs. Snuggies

Now I know what you're thinking. A Snuggie? Really?  Yes, dear gamer, really. Look, I get cold when I don't move for a while, and I want to be warm while still being able to hold a controller. Now, Player 2 claims that she can usually just have the controller under the blankets but that bothers me. I guess I just don't like the feeling of cloth covering my hands when I'm gaming. Then again, my hands are very sensitive, so this may just be me. Seriously, I can't even stand to hold chalk or dusty rocks in my hands. It sets my teeth on edge.

What about you guys? Any particular gaming positions that you enjoy? Let me know!
