Since I'm the only one in my family who appreciates video games, all of the consoles are in my room. My bed is too far away from my TV (a 20" CRT) and details are too hard to make out if I lay there, so I use my awesome, giant, leather behemoth of a computer chair instead.
That being said, I'd much rather be able to game from a couch instead.
I've really worn into this chair, so much that it actually hurts to sit in it for too long, now. Couches don't have that problem, they just get more squishy and comfortable.
