standing while gaming

[wfpdk]

for a while now I've caught myself standing while playing video games, ever since guitar hero, I've started standing up and playing when i start getting frustrated, but then i don't sit back down, and end up standing in front of a tv for hours trying to beat a game. so far I've lost 35 pounds and have kept it off for months. it kinda nice but now my legs are always sore and stiff, does anybody else do this or an I just a freak?

sometimes i like to do it when im excited but maybe you should get a comfy chair, it might just help

I never do personally, neither does anyone else I know expect a single friend of mine who always seems to no matter what the game.

Nah, not a freak. Personally, I tend to stand only for those rhythm games or if I'm really into something...but I've found myself doing that for, say, the bosses in Twilight Princess.

Yes, including miming Link's victory pose.

Sometimes. I veer up, shouting when things get out of hand. And I keep standing, without even noticing it. I only notice when it gets out of hand again, and I throw myself at the television.

Yeah.

Nope, when i sit in my chair im am stuck to it till i have to go to sleep, if i did jump up i'd knock everything flying so that could be a reason.

I haven't done it for a while, but that may be because I haven't played any console games for a while either. I used to do it when I got really into the game and eventually someone would remind me that I was standing up and I'd suddenly notice and sit down.

Sometimes in really long gaming sessions I find myself standing for a bit. Especially in the forza 2 marathon races.
