Always prepared for anything!

When I play games I usually have my gaming corner prepared with a lot of stuff so I can stay in games without having to back out every now and then. For example having something to drink within reach, maybe some snacks if I skip dinner, making my seat comfortable if I sit there for several hours and of course empty my bladder before I start playing. It seems silly but it sucks if you have to quit because you didn´t came prepared, especially if you found a group of people with whom you had fun playing games. Of course you can contact them but it´s not always a group of people that know eachother, sometimes they´re just random people that happen to be together in the same match. Looking at some games it kind of sucks when you end up in another lobby with people that aren´t that much fun to play with, I think you can kick yourself for leaving that other lobby just because you didn´t prepare yourself for a longer gaming session.

So what do you need for a long and pleasant gaming session? I´d say having a comfortable seat is definately a good idea, because if you´re going to sit for a long time then you want to sit comfortable. But also have plenty to drink and if needed to eat within reach, of course you can run to the kitchen every time and it´s probably good exercise but not something that gets you in a comfortable mood. But I would recommend to skip dinner like me, it´s good to eat dinner and skipping meals isn´t healthy! Also if you eat plenty of healthy food then you´re less likely to eat unhealthy food! Other things that also have importance are your position in front of your tv or pc screen, don´t sit too close and don´t sit too far away. I´d say you´re ready for a gaming session and hopefully you have a good one!

But wait, I can say it´s good to game for several hours and pretend that it´s ok. Still I want to let you know that it´s good to get up and do other things every now and then. For example during loading screen walk around in your room or during matchmaking just do something else than sitting. It helps your blood circulation and it´s not healthy to sit for several hours. I know that a couch or comfortable chair can be difficult to leave, but it´s for your own health! I´m not saying that you´re in great danger if you play for four hours games, but I wouldn´t make a habit of it. A console or pc gives you acces to a lot of things, the newest generation of consoles lets you do even more interesting things. You might never want to get up again. But seriously don´t be a fool, know when to get up and do something else. I´m not saying that you should back out of a game but just do something else than sitting. Gaming is fun and it might be difficult to walk away from it every now and then, but too much of something is never a good thing.
