Picking a new chair

I've found that, as inconvenient as it may seem, chairs are one of those few items you simply need to try out in-person to find the one that is right for you. Go hit some stores and see what you like. Also, don't go super-cheap-- your ass will thank you.

Don't you have an old big tower case left over from your old
pc that you can sit on? Chairs are so overrated.

Just kidding, I tend to agree with doctorofjournalism though, you need to check out
for yourself what suits you best.

I don't have much experience using different chairs. I have always used a standard leather office type chair, the ones that go all the way up behind your head and have a decent amount of padding. It's not very adjustable or the most ergonomic, but as long as it has a good amount of padding and arm rests I am happy.

Here's a random pic of something similar to what I use.

Haha, I've been using a folding patio chair for the past 4 1/2 years. It makes aiming in shooter games pretty hard, since I have to have my keyboard and mouse in my lap and fast+precise mouse movement is almost impossible, but I manage. It was meant to be a temporary stopgap until I could get a real chair, but every single one I try out in stores is either an instant "NOPE" or a slightly quieter "nope" after a few seconds of consideration. The patio chair is at least as comfortable as them all.

I've had to sew up the fabric a few times, and it's getting Frankenstein-y enough that I recently bought some fabric to "replace" it (read: sew on top of), but it's doing just fine otherwise.

Here's a pic of one that's kind of similar to mine. I think mine's better, though; the metal's heavier at least.
