"Your perfect gaming environment."

What is your perfect gaming environment? Where do you like to play games? In the living room or the bedroom or your office? Do you like to drink during a gaming session? If so what? How we play games is something that could have an effect on how games are made. An example of that is in Goldeneye. How, you may, and probably are, be thinking.

Well I like to have a drink near to hand when I am playing games. And in Goldeneye in single player that is difficult. The pause menu takes a long time to come up with the wee watch animation. And during all that time there can be enemies shooting you.

Things like this might not really bother you but they bother and annoy me. If I am paying £40 or even £50 for a game I want it to be perfect. I will not be but some games are better than others because certain features have been implemented better.

How we play games does have an impact on how much we enjoy them. If I do not have a drink or do not have my red N64 controller when I am playing my (or someone elses) N64, then I am not fully comfortable and do not enjoy the game playing as much then as when I so have my controller and drink etc.

I just wondered what you lot thought and if I was just an overly demanding games player.

My perfect gaming environment?

It would have to be in my room, maybe a drink, maybe some music unless the game has a good soundtrack, peace and quiet from everyone else who may be in the room.

I have a habit of playing better when I lean forward and I don't play as good when I sit back. Can't explain why.

During 4 player matches things are alot more chaotic and everyone shouts and fights for the good controllers. That is then followed by another fight about what multiplayer game is ging to be played. We then get comfortable, swear at each other and accuse the winner of cheating.

I like to have no distractions when im playing so im usually alone in my living room. There is always a can of coke becide me and sometimes crisps or popcorn. I then turn up the volume, get comfortable buy half lying on the couch in my gaming position with keyboard to my left. Then I will play online Quake 3 for my DC from about 11pm to 2am.

Strange. You have a coal fire? I think I'm getting one?
