Where in your dwelling do you GAME?

I've been thinking about this for a few days now. This was mainly in part because I'm thinking of getting a new LCD TV to basically play video games and watch DVDs. At this moment, I have a Panasonic TAU 32 inch TV in the basement. It's nothing fancy, but it serves its purpose. I'm thinking of getting a 40 inch LCD and get a wall mount to put it in my bedroom. I'll place it on the opposite side of my work desk. This would be an excellent idea if I were to play early into the morning (3 AM-ish) and just want to save and go to bed.

In your house/apartment/dorm/mansion/cardboardbox, where do you game? How are the accoustics for this particular room and the lighting like? What type of chair/bench/lazyboy/beanbag/carpet thing to do you sit on while gaming? If you choose other, please specify.

EDIT: well this is basically geared towards console games, but if you have a PC in a different room, then you can vote for both or more options.

DOUBLE EDIT: If possible, take a picture of your gaming area and post it here. Just try to keep it resonably sized (800 X 600) to avoid stretching tables.

Oh and for the edited part of the thread:



Chairs: Lay-Z-Boy recliners
Console: PS2 (as you can see)
Room: Basement
TV: Panasonic TAU 32 inch CRT

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I knew I was wise to include those two options.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Soo...is your PS2 and gamecubed hooked up to the monitor or what. Or is there just a TV which is not seen.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't really care if people are around, but prefer if I was home alone. Just as long as I say "Ah shit, gotta study for my final exams, then I'm spotted playing games with no shame, then parents will say something".

Holy shit, pics of the TV plz.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Do you have a sound system with it? Or just headphones.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hydelloon, you might as well post that TV pic here as well.

FELIPE NO
