Where Do You Game?

[Kriven]

I thought it might be neat to share game set-ups, clutter-control, etc.

Spoiler

My desk has been taken over by my new TV and the 360. The Wii U is also connected to this television, but it's not on the desk mainly because the 360 is a space-hog (and vertical alignment generally makes me uneasy).



Desktop PC under the desk, runs Windows 8. I don't actually use it for much as far as browsing/writing/computering. Right now it's mainly a Steam/MUGEN machine and video player. Using the TV as a monitor right now.



Old TV for old games. I actually have cable going into this one instead of the newer one, mainly because of cable length. The NES actually isn't good for gaming anymore--it doesn't have any insides. Its only use a the moment is to keep the lamp high enough that it illuminates my whole room.



Le old consoles. The Wii U is down there as well, since that's just where it fit. There's also the PS2, Genesis, Wii, and a VCR on the upper shelf, and my N64 and original X-Box on the bottom half. I did have the PSOne set up down with the N64 until just recently, but I was tidying up things I really didn't need out (which is kind of what inspired this topic, lul).

Don't mind the me in that picture. I couldn't angle the 3DS properly without blocking the light unless I contorted myself on the bed x.x;

So where do you guys game?

At home I just have my laptop on my lap in the lounge, with the mouse on the arm of the chair (it's like one of those living room armchairs, with a fairly wide arm).

Right now we're at my bro's place and I'm using his kitchen table (since nobody eats on it anyway). It's really cluttered with loads of stuff but I've cleaned up this corner of it so there's enough space.

Otherwise when we're travelling I only play DS, any location where I can sit and hold a handheld console in front of me works.

We're planning to move after a while so I might have a more elaborate set-up, I'd want to have a desk for it in my room and a mouse pad, maybe with one of those wrist thingies (since my wrists tend to ache after a while). Hopefully a good computer chair as well. Basically something more ergonomic, so I can play and code for more than an hour without getting a wrist or back ache.

at work

don't let my boss know.

My MacBook Air can play some fairly high-spec games with Bootcamp Windows, so I can game anywhere.


Don't tell anybody, but I'm sitting on the toilet right now!

-At school: my dorm room
-At home: the living room (portables/WiiU) or my bedroom (provided I've brought my TV and any of my other consoles)

In my bedroom. I have all of my consoles, handhelds, and my computer all in my bedroom.

Just like Kriven, I have two TVs. One is an HDTV, which my PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC are connected to. The other is a TV from the 90s, which my SNES, N64, PS2, GCN, and original Xbox are connected to. (I have more systems than these, but they're currently not plugged in)
