I was thinking of buying a nice vibrating chair for the living room for christmas. Hmmm.....I just hate to give up all the adjustable, swiveling, rolling stuff.

Either going to the gym/doing sports for atleast an hour a day helps me deal with it but i agree, it can be hard to do anything else.

I have four activities that may take place while a game is hosting:
1) Play another dominions game in another window
2) Eat/Drink
3) Go to the toilet(you didnt need to know did you?)
4) Go to this site

I spent something over a hundred bucks on a leather office chair. Sadly, it's not as comfortable as I could wish, but then I think it has something to do with my being too fat to begin with. It's a good thing I'm married and the only person I have to impress is my wife. Sadly, she doesn't impress that easily.

Tip: turn graphics up to maximum beautification so you get a longer delay between turns, and then keep a set of weights by the computer. I own a set of cheapo 5 lb weights and I'm up to 2,000 reps at a set. One set takes me about an hour to 90 minutes. Great for the blood circulation. I wish there were a way to mount my laptop on a stair-master...

My wife threatened to hook an exercise bike up to the monitor. Not the computer, just the monitor. If I wanted to see anything Id have to peddle it.

Hmm... I'd argue that with Dom3 and food competing for the same time slot Dom3 usually wins (unless I'm *really* hungry), so Dom3 effect might be exactly opposite
