Always. Especially with driving games. As if turning my controller and leaning will somehow enable me to make it round the corner.

EDIT: It doesn't really happen with shooters that much.

I do with just about every game I play. Naturally hyper so constantly bouncing around in the chair. Lost quite a few chairs from it too.

Metroid did that to me also, Metroid Prime (1), Meta Ridley fight. I was moving so much that my chair (a rolling chair) was also moving with me, and I was moving a lot. Metroid Prime sits on my top 10 best games ever for this reason. The music was crazy, the fight was challenging and fun, and the game became so immersive I'm surprised I didn't start wearing a bra having been absorbed into the role of Samus so much

Most games don't give that kind of movement the time of day anymore, haven't caught myself moving around too much, maybe every so often in CoD, or Halo, or even Bulletstorm, but not as much as I did when I'd play Metroid Prime

Edit: I actually realized that I do sometimes act out the killings in cutscenes, especially in God of War, and ESPECIALLY after I killed an obnoxious boss, I'd stand up and act out the brutal poundings

I don't move. But if I'm playing a sports game or a driving game (which I prefer to play with a controller and racing wheel), then I move around a bit.

Nah, I just adjust my position or change it but I don't move with the game.

There is one exception though, I lean slightly when I play racing games with a steering wheel and only when I play slightly "realistic" racing games.

I don't really move, so much as I stop moving. When I get totally engrossed in a game, I don't move an inch, my face becomes perfectly still, my breathing slows, and if it's a multiplayer game, I stop talking. (If it's a shooter, usually that's their cue to find cover - fast. ^_^)

Conversely, if I'm bored with a game, I move around a lot.

No. While playing PS3 or 360 I lie in my bed. Either flat on my stomach, or resting the body on my elbows. Not that much movement space there.
When I play on my PC I got a fixed position for my body. The only thing that moves is how far from the desk I sit or if my legs are crossed/uncrossed.

Before I got my G27 (YEAAAHH!!!) I used to lean a lot whenever I played racing games. I also fidget a lot but that happens sans/avec gaming.

Christ he moves a lot.

I don't really move that much... I think. The most movement I notice during gaming is to swap my legs over (I have to sit on one while on the chair, other eise I'm very uncomfy)
And to reach for a ciggarette/lighter or drink.

I do talk to myself a lot about the game or shout at other players ("I've planted the bomb, come help meeee!") of course never on mic I do this.

I do, If s*** get's hard, I even stand up straight in front of the TV, giving me more freedom to move around. I guess it's just because I get really into it. But yeah I move around when gaming.
