staying cool while gaming

[johnman]

Just have ice with every drink and eat it.
If you dont have a leather chair then naked gaming all the way.

You know u dont have to remodel your house to put in air conditioning? just stick one in a window, also, a combination of very few clothes, basement, and fans will hel

 

[War Penguin]

I put a set of clothes in the freezer to make them cool.
A cold shower works.
Why not just buy a fan?
Also, naked gaming. Just be sure that no one sees you, unless you want them to.

Edit: Actually, no. I take that back. Don't let anyone see you.
(no offense)

Believe it or not, but here in Edinburgh (that's Scotland, sportsfans) there was a major heatwave last month. Believe me, open a window just a crack and let the breeze flow in nicely. Open a door too. And buy a fan.

Swimming periodically helps cool the body in times of immense heat. If you live near a local swimming pool, I'd give it a try. Even a 30 minute swim can keep you cool for the rest of the day.

My only question is, if it's so hot, how on earth are your consoles holding up? They must be melted globs of plastic by now.

Desktop or laptop?

I overheat with the AC on using my laptop since all the hot air blow right into my crotch when I'm gaming... I've pretty much given up on that situation.

If it's on a desktop then get off your butt and stop being such a putz. I'm sure you can find many a wind moving device at your local Target or town dump.

Two words: naked gaming.

It's the next big thing.

This. And tell people while your playing online. The results are hilarious.

It is indeed the next big thing.

Wooo!

get a wet shirt.on put it on.

This combined with a fan and you can thank us later.

 

[Hoxton]

fan. Frequent showers so your hair is wet will help you cool down a bit.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Take your system and go t a friend who has air conditioning at his house

What if someone walks in?

I can think of several wiimote related lines that would no dobut get me banned of the forums, but would go perfect with that situation.



in response to OP's question, Opening a Window is a must and Gel packs used for treating minor burns (the ones that you place in the fridge to cool) are great, place couple around your crotch and say bye bye that annoying sweatiness there!. Note do not leave there for extended periods of time or you could face problems.

Avoid leather upholstry, it is murder on sweaty flesh.

Hope this helps

One of the main heat sources come from your TV, you need to either leave the room or shut the TV off once in a while to keep the room cool.

Take a shower and aim the fan at yourself also does the justice.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Buy a fan/several fans.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Play upside down.

 

[CyberAkuma]

Fan. A big one.

Also, preferrebly load up the freezer with ice-cream, ice, cold soda etc.
It might not be a definitive solution to the problem but it does help

 

[Killersamman]

Buy a car door, when it gets too hot wind it down to cool down... lololol

 

[skcseth]

Open a window. It's better than nothing.

This.

Or buy a desk fan from Target or something. They're only like $20.

Then you better hope you aren't too cold. Or it will be the next small thing.

 

[DazZ.]

Ice creams!
Lots of them!

Make sure your computer doesn't melt its insides. Give him/her ice cream aswell.

I have found that hardcore global warming denial will make all heat related problems go away. You just aren't denying it hardcore enough.
