I'm curious what people do. I like to recline, but that means I can't reach the keyboard, only the mouse. So I end up playing mostly mouse-only games. or else ones with an Xbox controller.

This has been my go-to sitting pose for pretty much everything, especially if I need to stay somewhat attentive. Hell, sitting like this as I type right now. I tend to slide into a normal sitting up position if I need more precise movements, but for just casually playing or web-browsing, this. So much this.

I also do this kinda stuff when playing with mouse and keyboard, other times I sit with my legs crossed.
But if I'm using the controller I recline and get further away from the screen.

Reclined if playing with the xbox360 controller. And PROPERLY sit up like a boss if using keyboard/mouse.
PD: where is the poll? xD

Polls don't encourage actual discussions. They only encourage stupid potato options.

and I was too tired to do a poll. plus people always post "where's the option for some weird thing OP didn't think of". For instance, if I did a poll for this question there would be someone who would say something like "Where's the option for gaming while standing on my head?".

Sitting up, for console and PC.
Laying down when playing 3DS or Vita, as I usually do that in bed before going to sleep.

I had to look up what "reclining" means...

Well, I guess most of the time I'm reclining... on the chair that is, not on a couch or anything like that. Yeah, I probably should ask a doctor if my spine is like it's supposed to be one of these days. ^_^'

Ah, I guess I should have explained more. I have an office type of chair, computer chair, whatever you call it, that can tilt back. There's levers that will make it tilt the whole thing back, like reclining in a lazy boy chair, or just the back can tilt or the seat. I like this chair a lot, and the arms can go up and down too.

Well, I have a plain wooden chair. Could be rather uncomfortable at times so I lean back and bring my feet up. Sort of like in the fetal position. It's quite a bit more comfortable but also obviously unhealthy as heck so that's where my doctor comment comes from.

i start playing super straight, then end up curved almost falling from the chair.

Reclined as much as possible, so the head/neck won't get tired/stressed.

More comfortable with a controller.

(I'm currently playing mass effect, and I hate that the steam versions have no controller support.)

I sit like this a lot (in my chair in fron of my pc). This is the best pic I could find.

Same. There's a small space to my left under my desk to store documents or whatever, so I put my foot against the ledge of that compartment.

I currently have both feet on the desk, and one arm through the gap beneath my knees to reach the keyboard. For gaming, I sometimes sit with my knees up and arms either side, or leaning back with my legs on the desk.

I play with the laptop on my lap or laying on my belly :) Not the best thing for gaming, but I can't get a desktop as I travel often.

I start sitting straight up, but as time passes I slowly melt into the chair.

Mostly lay back, but get me in a competitive game and I will be sitting a bit closer if I get into it >.>

It's going to sound like a joke answer, but I end up flopped over anywhere and any way decently comfortable. Since I'm out a lot, I opted for a laptop instead of a desktop and ended up just wandering around with it even when I'm home. Can't even remember all the weird places I've been found sitting/laying around with it. I'd wander off to get something, get distracted, decide it's comfortable there, and get too lazy to move. I think some of the best ones were under my desk (where I have a comfy leather chair I could've been in instead), behind a bed (no one could find me, and I didn't notice they wanted me because I had headphones on), and on the floor beside the toilet (which... well that's self explanatory why it's weird, no?). :p

I try to sit straight, but after some time I forget or concentrate too much on the game and I end up in some random position. In a few years I' ll look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I recline, mostly, so I have to squish myself by the desk to reach the keyboard and mouse.

Well, I only use a normal cheap wooden chair, which is pretty bad for my back due to having nothing to lean my upper back against. I do tend to "lean" my chair backwards, so that it leans on its two back legs.

I usually do that when using a controller, which I rarely do. The rest of the time, I'll be straight in my chair, or like the above post explains.

i have a pretty awesome chair. The seat and back support moves as i do, if i lay backwards then it reclines at any angle i wish automatically just from body movement, it can swivel left/right too, zero delay in reclining or sitting up. instantaneous . back is always supported with neck rest as well and it has comfortable arm rests with padding, including built in back & neck massage. chair is genuine leather.

When I sit to my pc, I'm sitting for about 5 minutes max, then I start melting all over my chair. I was really surprised when doctor said that I have spine in good position.

I change positions frequently because sitting still for a long time is bad.
Depending on the game, the intensity and the skill required for the game, I might sit up straight or recline or some other pose mayhaps.
