I try to sit on a chair if available. However, I've been sitting on my bed since my room is too small for a chair. It's fairly comfortable if I sit, but I tend to lie down more often, which hurts my neck after a long session.

I sit in an office type ergonomic chair, usually raising the chair so that I can look straight ahead at the screen and see everything at eye level, without having to look up or down and lean back.

I sit on a chair. I can take various positions(being in the same one for hours can be uncomfortable). Weirdest one is having one leg resting on the desk while the rest of my body is seated normally.

I find the sitting position the best for your body and the most comfortable.

I sit on a chair, it gives me better posture then sitting back on the couch.

I just sit upright but I do sometimes sit back when relaxing or sit forward when trying to find a pixel move and shoot it.

I use a gaming monitor for both Pc and game consoles. In fact, I use the same chair for both (it's on casters). When playing on consoles my posture is actually quite good...but on PC, I'm always hunched over for some reason. Don't understand it...on one hand, I think I might just need a better m&kb set-up, but on the other, I'm still hunching over even when using a controller to play PC games. Weird.

I sit in something like this. It's comfortable and has something to rest my arms on. I often cross my legs or leave one down.

A big comfy chair and ottoman. Unless I'm playing a racer with my steering wheel then I omit the ottoman. Now my stepson, he apparently likes to either stand up or sit on the edge of his bed. once in a while I see him sitting indian style on the floor. I can imagine a beanbag right in front of a TV also being comfortable.

The worst is sitting at a desk imo. I hate sitting up straight having my arms in the standard mouse/WASD position through the entire game, I don't know how anyone does it without getting muscle stiffness and aches. That shit is for secretaries.

I sit on a nice office chair, I always sit cross legged though, much more cosy for me.

playing with a console, don't exactly makes me sit. i keep on moving, shouting and doing all types of exercises. In short while playing with console my respiration automatically gets friendly with anaerobic, and i feel like its not the console whose joysticks are moving rather its me who is tilting, skipping, rotating and doing all such muscle building activities.

While playing Rohan Blood Feud. I use a couch and play it. Actually I prefer couches because it makes my sleepy. I need more sleep. LOL.

I tend to game, sitting up with my legs crossed, more often then not with the controller half resting in my lap.

An odd habit I suppose, but goddamn I relax when sitting like that ^^

On a plush couch with my legs up on a table. I need extra support for my left arm though so I usually have an additional pillow in my left back area.
