I had a great time last night

First time in 3 months I had a chance to actually go out and DO something. So I did a few warrior quests. I got the 4 pieces of armor and a few abilities, but I'm still missing the chest. Was great fun and I definitely missed it. Sitting back in my super-recliner, with my controller in hand, I cranked up winamp on my right monitor, ffxiv on the main, and web/gamerescape on the right, I went to town. I'm kind of bummed the weather is so nice out, as I have a yard to tend and I can't justify not throwing hte kids outside with it being so nice out.

However I'm about to refinish my basement and make a super-man-cave with ultra-surround, sound deadening, the works. Once winter rolls around, I will be glued to my chair.

lmao, i need a recliner for my office. this computer chair really ruins the feeling of it.

you sir just described 'dat ffxiv groove'. once achieved, it is hard feeling to shake. side effects may include but are not limited to: intense relaxation, complete Eorzeaic immersion, forgetting about your family and friends etc. etc.

I have this chair:

But i took off the arms to fit under my desk. However as it turns out the arms hold up the back, so it broke and i fell over. So I got to metal bars for each side and made cross supports. Now it naturally leans back, and it reclines extra, so with a tiny pillow behind my head i'm staring right at my monitor, and a little stool to put my feet up. My desk is a V corner that I wheel right into with my ergonomic keyboard. It is the laziest position you can get into, perfect for playing. You can switch from controller to kb/mouse with about 4 inches of hand movement, and not moving anything else.

damn.. i really need to get a better chair. or rather, i wish i just had a laptop powerful enough to play this. I miss the days of playing XI lying down. and then laptop overheating and burning a hole through the sheets. memories~

I paid a pretty penny for my chair. I figure, I spend most of my life in that chair, it had better be comfortable. Laptop gaming is for when i'm not home. I'm usually home, though, so I like my desktop.

It should be a required spec on the box of FFXIV:

-Second monitor needed
-Comfy chair too

Countless times I find myself watching movies while crafting. No way I would be were I am on a single monitor.

Congratulations, you had fun playing a video game. I don't see why this is worthy of it's own thread... If you weren't having fun, why would you play the game?

Yes. Why do you ask? Post count +1? Maybe I got tired of hearing people bitch all the time, and wanted to start a positive thread. You know, those can be had here too.

Thanks for pointing out that I play in windowed mode! +1 post count.

But honestly having a second monitor set up for map references for instances can be really handy. Craft recipes too.

I had fun too! Especially once we got steel cyclone, it changed how I play war! Good to see ya on last night pocket hockey.

I have fun playing with you tonight Pocket Hockey. Sucks we didn't win in DH.
I never have good luck in pick ups. but it was great seeing you around again

My one good DH run was a pickup, most of the other were ls. That guy is just a pain in the ass any way you cut it. You have to be either insanely on your game, or really lucky. Plus, I think since no one had done it in ages, that didn't help.

And yes, steel cyclone has changed a lot of how i play. Good playing with you guys.

That's what she said.
