In my chair, at my desk, with my speakers on with about 20% higher bass setting. Other than that, nothing. Whatever I feel like during the day will decide what I have with me and what I do before hand. Of course, logging onto my computer generally lends me to viewing forums and such, so I usually do that before gaming.
How do you game?

Nothing really notable here. Just the couch and the game. Occasionally I'll wear my Turtle Beach headphones when playing MW3/Battlefield 3 or when playing at night and I don't feel like getting in trouble. They are a must when playing Assassin's Creed Multiplayer. I stand sometimes when playing BlazBlue. Not sure why. I may or may not do better that way
Sitting on the couch or my bed (depending on what I'm playing), the windows open for air and sunlight. That's pretty much it. I'm one of those people who needs fresh air all the time, I can't stand it when the room I'm in is stuffy. I don't have any particular rituals or anything prior to playing, though I tend to use the same Wiimote all the time (because it's got a blue wrist-strap), but it's not a 'lucky controller'.
I do, however, choose to play as Luigi in any game that will allow me to. Always have.

I only have one chair - which needs to be replaced - and my controllers aren't lucky, I am. Nearest thing I would have to a set pattern FOR gaming would be I don't like to multi-task during such a thing. I'm not on the computer or doing something else during this. I'm either playing the game...or not playing the game.
I just sit in my desk chair, elevating it to full height since my TV is on top of my dresser. I don't focus on a single game, instead I bounce around between a few. I actually just posted on a thread about the games I'm playing and for a super-brief version of that:
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Okami
Shadow of the Colossus
Final Fantasy IV & VII
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Skyrim
Pokemon Red, Black, White, Leaf Green
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
I'm a busy, busy gamer...my deviant-art watchers are going to stop watching since I keep promising them stuff and putting it off indefinitely but I think they get off on it (half of them anyway...)
Also, when I play 360 games, I have to use MY X-360. My GF has one but I feel more of a connection when I use my own rig and, controller.

My main PC is in my bedroom, have a nice desk and chair setup and I play with headphones on. Downstairs I have my PS3 and second PC in the lounge hooked up to my 40" TV and surround sound. Take regular breaks, chill out in the conservatory or whisk something up in the kitchen and play til late 
I usually play sitting on the edge of my bed on the floor depending on where I'm at in the house. Usually my girlfriend either sits behind me on her laptop or walks around the room listening to her music.
However, lately since we've moved we sit on the old couch with the tv on the coffee table, and she throws her legs up on my knees like a foot rest. Pretty comfortable when playing skyrim.

With an Xbox on a shiny new TV, whilst sitting on a couch under my bed. I live in a dorm, you see.
Sitting in my brown recliner that used to belong to my grandpa, small folding chair in front of my for my feet (the recliner has something broken and the chair doesn't lock in place with the leg rest extended), my Mac in my lap, and the pullout section of my desk is nearby with my cell phone and a drink of some variety on it.
This is essentially my "rest of the house don't bother me" position as well as my gaming position. I watch movies, TV, and play games from this same setup.
In the winter I put a snuggie in between my and my Mac and if I'm playing a game that doesn't require much focus on story (Shooters online, and sports games mostly) I'll Skype with people. I've had so many interesting, meaningful Skype conversations while playing Halo 3, ODST, and Reach online. I often found I played better when I had something to shift my focus so I wasn't over thinking things.
The worst part is when I get settled in just like I want to and then I realize I have to pee. That's the worst.

My TV is in my room. If my controllers reach, I sit on my bed. If they don't I sit in this lawn chair I have set up. Maybe a can of coke in reach, nothing special.
I'm going to say either "X-TREME" or "TO THE MAX," and then pump my fist in the air and chug a Mountain Dew. Then I will probably vomit and pass out, but not necessarily in that order. I like to leave some wiggle room in my plans.
Then I'll wake up, wash my face, and sit at my desk, where I have two monitors next to each other; one monitor for the PC and the other for the 360 and PS3. They are next to each other because I hate only doing one thing at a time, so I have to watch something on one while I game on the other. Is game a verb? Fuck it. While I game... TO THE MAX!

In front of a glass desk on a nice leather chair. With a can of coca-cola, which in 10% of the situations promptly gets spilled.
