Discomfort, ohh, Hemorrhoids, tough break. I personally do everything for my desk chair, I find that laying down makes me feel like a lazy good for nothing.

dude i dont know about your rig but my battle station is fucking comprtable. i have a 280 degree wrap around desk with a lazy boy with a back massager in the middle on a lazy susan so i can spin around. shure its kinda hardcore but i love it. i do spend more time gameing on my xbox but that is beacuse i use my desk for "work"
I say, no problems.
I'm actually kind of pissed at Alan Wake developers. I really WANT to play that game. I refuse to, though, because the developers refuse to port it because it "breaks the mood of the game". That just sounds like they don't want to port it.

I have never gotten uncomfortable gaming on PC with keyboard and mouse, except some slight stiffness in my writs after an epic 8 hour gaming session. It was the good kind of ache.
If you're finding PC gaming controls uncomfortable you are probably doing something wrong or you are far too used to gamepad controls.
For example do you use a mouse pad with a foam wrist support? That will fuck your wrist up, most of the time you'll do fine with the mouse directly on the tabletop.

I hate gaming on the pc other than really simple games I tried an fps recently and while I can understand the mouse in terms of accuracy its still feels off.
but worst of all using buttons to control some of the movements d-pads are old its that simple and the keyboard isnt even designed to be a good d-pad.
oh well my laptop is a lousey gaming rig anyway.

For more accuracy? Yes. In fact, I find the mouse infinitely more comfortable than the controller.
What discomfort? I can't actually answer the poll cause there really isn't any discomfort involved for me. Honestly, i wouldn't even play a console game laying down, it makes it harder to see the TV and i feel restricted, not sure if it's in my head or not. Obviously a computer is more restrictive but i find myself quite comfortable sitting here.
I merely pointed out that you said that lying down damages your spine, obviously never getting up would do you some harm(though bedsores are likely to come first) you did't say that, you said that lying down would do the job, had you said lying down constantly, I'd have agreed and not brought it up.Vrach said:
However most people don't spend every minute of every day playing games (I do but then I'm sad like that) so it wouldn't really be an issue for most people, besides I don't know about the rest of you but my back always hurts more after six hours of sitting still playing games than after eight hours lying down.
I am, right now, laying down, using my computer. I can use the mouse without a problem. You may have guessed, however, that I have a laptop, so maybe it's different (it's a USB mouse, by the way. Not the mouse pad.).
Games I play on here are usually Xbox 360 controller compatable, so it's not a big deal between whether I play console games or PC game, because they only difference is the distance from the screen.

Ten hours with a controller, and my hands begin to rebel against my very wishes. This tends to create unfortunate situations, like accidentally forcing Lighting to use a phoenix down at a critical juncture, instead of a potion. It didn't end well.
A mouse, though? And its allied keyboard? Smooth as silk on these hands. I could play with my mouse all day long. I hate lying down and gaming... It throws everything off.

this seems like a strange topic. i like sitting up, i feel like my reaction time is faster. i usually only lay down while playing a game, if im playing my ds or im playing a particularly tame video game. ive never been playing a game for extended hours and thought "oh my god, the inability to lay down is torture!"
Interesting, I have a laptop so I can play on the couch or at a desk depending on my mood,
Ive always playes games at the desk from when I was a kid though I think I prefer it to a couch and a TV, for some reason it makes me feel lazy and fat

It's not uncomfortable. There really is no other point here; especially when one can simply rearrange the environment to better suit their comfort level.
