Title says it all. Just describe how you sit on your ____ (chair/floor/etc.) while playing.

I sit with my legs crossed :)

I think the name of the thread should be videogames, as not all people here play Brawl.

Consoles w/ Traditional Controllers: Sitting down, back leaned on something.
Wii: Sitting down, waving arms around.
DS: Sitting, one knee raised up towards me, I prop it on the knee.

When I play Melee I sit on my knees--kneeling, I guess you'd say. It hurts so badly when I get up, but it's worth it. I feel like it keeps me more focused by leaning in. But sometimes after I get up I stumble around for a minute or two before my knees are all right. I should really stop doing it <.<;;

Ok then. I'll change it :)

I sit on my coach across the room from my 52'' HDTV where I have my Dreamcast, Wii and Xbox 360 set up. Sometimes I sit crossing my legs but most of the time, I put my feet up on a box in-front of the coach.

Usually I sit with my legs crossed; they support my resting arms that lay upon them. Oh, and I sit on the floor most of the time, sometimes on my swivel chair. When I am not serious in the game I like to stand up for no apparent reason, maybe because I jump a lot. I do these things to most vidoegmaes I play.

I just sit on my pull-out couch normally, leaning forward. If im relaxed I lay down, if a battle (halo/brawl) starts getting intense, I stand up. When I play my DS I just sit or lay on the floor.

In a chair.
I've never been able to sit indian style. As a kid I'd have my legs stretched while everybody else was sitting pretzel style.
Sitting on the floor is uncomfortable for me anyways.

I <3 the Dreamcast. It's kinda retro.

But people who download games online and put them on a CD to play for free=SUCK.

That's why SEGA FAILED. And nintendo bought SEGA after.

I play on carpet (on my knees) or a chair.

I always sit in a swivel chair, even for Wii and Gamecube games, I just spin around the room while playing.

For my PS2 and Gamecube and pretty much laying down in a chair that you're supposed to sit upright in, with my head resting on the back of it while my legs push against the dresser that my small TV is on. When playing my PS3 or Wii I just sit upright in a chair.

I sit on a metal folding chair that's at the base of my bed, 4-5 feet away from my tv. If I don't feel like sitting, I'll lay on a pillow with my stomach down and play 4-5 feet away.

If I'm in my living room I'll probably sit on the floor since my controller cord doesn't reach out that far.

In my room, if I'm on a Wii game I'll just sit back on my bed and lay back. If I'm using the gc controller or don't need those pointer functions I'll either lay back or sit at my computer and play..

Oh.. and DS.. well, yah.. just depends. I usually don't even play my DS at my house. I'll either play it while trying to go to sleep or play it when I'm riding in a car (which is why I usually don't drive >.>)

I sit perfectly straight and still, attempting to be an almost literal pillar of, ah... Irony, I suppose, due to my lowly nerd-type status within society.

I actually have to either play via wireless controller from the couch or sit in a chair. Since our television set is up on a two-foot table, my neck begins aching, what, two minutes after I look at it with no support?

I usually sit with my legs crossed, but occasionally I'll lie on my stomach with my elbows propping me up.

I usually sit with my left foot across my right,with my forearms/elbows resting on my knees and leaning foward.(When im concentrating hard)

Otherwise I just kick back.

Sometimes I lean on one elbow for ages on my bed and it hurts my shoulder after i try to move it.

This topic doesn't really garner much conversation since you will just be stating one thing then leaving.
