ToridAkbolto 170 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Does anyone else end up in a really weird position while gaming? Whether it just feels more comfortable, or helps them game better, or is some subconscious thing that they have no idea what it is, I almost always end up bringing my knees up to my chest and hunching over them when playing any higher concentration game. Unfortunately, the moment I realize I'm doing it, it becomes very uncomfortable and I need to stop. Then I put my knees down and it feels unnatural again.

HanPolo 150 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thats what I do! I always bring my knees up and rest my chin on the for some reason. I never find it uncomfortable though. A freind I had once used to stand up whenether things got exciting on a game. I dont know why but I use to find that really annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy 100 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 i don't really know how i sit but i would say i kinda sits like L (from the manga) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,165 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I don't game, but when I'm reading I usually sit sideways in my favorite easy chair. Legs over one arm, and leaning against the other. It's very comfy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 2
LMW-YBC 102 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I usually manuever WITH the characters/objects in tight situations. I have no idea why, but it's funny when friends are around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaborer 164 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hmm... If I've been really, really bored I usually end up with my arse on one chair, my back resting againt the corner between backrest and armrest, one leg on my table the other one resting on another chair and my other armrest. I'm not sure you'll be able to imagine this... It's a really weird way of sitting were I don't get a lot of blood to the brain, so it doesn't help me at all, but it's a bit comfy. I am however always dizzy when I stand up after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone 384 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I... sit in a normal manner? But yeah, I tend to stand up when things get tense or difficult. Don't know why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,329 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 When manure just got real, I was all like this Nothing's wrong, just after the gaming session my back got all achey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Rising 2,153 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Depends on the game... Mostly I don't do anything too far out of the ordinary, but when I'm playing Super Smash Bros against someone I get really competitive and kinda move around all over the place lol Edited April 28, 2012 by Hollowshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,054 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I just hunch over the screen, with my back not against the chair. Usually only when the game gets tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowfatEnvelope 335 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I usually sit with both legs and feet in my chair (so they're under my or slightly in front of me while i sit on one foot. That's how i'm sitting now, actually). Sometimes i'll take the foot that's not under me and put it on my desk, but usually that doesn't last long.

Acleps 11 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I've always been more of a PC-gamer, and when using a PC, it's hard to play in strange positions ! When watching TV or movies, I can get into really strange positions, especially if I've been watching for more than an hour Edited April 28, 2012 by Acleps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,956 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Xbox, I'm laying on my tummy on my bed, computer(laptop) I'm laying on my bed as well. Throw me ina room with a Wii and I will be subconsciously running around looking like an idiot while still being effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJK 399 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I bring my left ankle under me and sit on it. I cant do it with my right leg for some reason. And after i get done gaming my foot is like nerveically (Its a word, look it up) Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreth 193 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I often bring my knees up too, it gets awkward since I'm on an office chair and I have no control over it spinning. I also use a beanbag chair sometimes, I just sort of flop over it on my tummy with my knees on the floor behind it. I usually manuever WITH the characters/objects in tight situations. I have no idea why, but it's funny when friends are around Heehee, I do this too! Mostly dodging things, I do really exaggerated sways when an arrow or bullet passes close.

letterone 1,203 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I usually either sit with my legs all criss-crossed or in my gaming chair (I got a gaming chair WOO!!!) But that's only with console games. When we're talking PC, I'm usually all slouched in the computer chair and I usually end up half-laying on it. Yeah, it's terrible for my back. I should stop.
