[The DSM]

Silent and dark.

I've got to say that I like being in a dark room, with just the glow from my monitors and external hard drive

 

[The Infinite]

Definitely a dark room, on a cool night (big plus if it's raining) and a nice comfy couch with snacks and drinks nearby. Though from what I've read that's pretty much what most gamers enjoy.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I never thought about it, I suppose any atmosphere, I just play video games

 

[Hiram88]

Depends on the type of game.

I like my RPG's bright and cheery, a-la Oblivion

I like my FPS's foreign and and loud

Can't think of any more...

I didn't think so many people liked rainy ambiance as much as I did.

When I was a kid, rainy days always put me in the mood to start a new game in LoZ: A Link to the Past. It's rainy, atmospheric beginning, aside from already being a staple in my epic gaming memories, is so much more enhanced.

I'm a person who is the majority of the time hosting guests, partying/chilling with friends, and I love my private/gaming time.
My favourite environment is, again, to be alone. I only seem to play games late at night, into the early hours of morning. I love the rain.. love it. (not only is it atmospheric, but makes me feel less bad about not being out, doing, stuff... works all round)
I like a warm soft light, warm, or cold with a blanket, & depending on situation either a steady supply of beer & fruit, or tea/hot chocolate.

That's my ideal time

Nothing better than sitting by a warm fireplace while snow is falling silently outside the window. That's perfect for anything, really: it's great for reading a book, and it's great for playing video games. Especially story-based ones. I also tend to use my headphones, even when there's no one else around. It simply sounds better, especially when I'm playing a shooter or something where stereo really comes into play: headphones do a pretty good job of using stereo to emulate surround sound.

yeah I always like playing games when its snowing outside.

Ooooh, i love playing in a tunder storm, in mid day with my windows open, the air that comes in smells amazing (soaked earth, i just love it)and the wind is really cool, it makes me go all zen listening to the tunder and the rain falling and crashing to my windows

too bad i have to dry everything up after the storm stops, but hell if it isnt worth it

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

Anywhere nice as long as we have the GAMES

 

[ssgt splatter]

On my bed, in the dark, with my Turtle Beach X41 headsets.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Dark, windows open (even in winter, I game better when I'm cold). Sit on my bed or the couch. Bad weather outside is always a pro (Don't care which kind; rain, snow, thunder or ridiculously high temperatures (I call that bad weather) all's fine with me).

 

[GrinningManiac]

Cold, rainy, muddy, damp and wet outside

That way I don't feel guilty for sitting in front of a screen all afternoon

 

[Wolfram23]

As long as it's not sunny. I game in the basement, but if it's sunny I feel like going outside and enjoying it. Otherwise, pretty dark I have a lamp so it's a nice soft light no glare on the tv.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Quiet. Very, very quiet.

Except for the game obviously. It helps if there's no one else around. Unless it's Aliens Versus Predator 2. Then I need someone around to make sure I'm not going insane.

It also helps if it's nice and warm, and I have a steady supply of snacks.

I too like it quiet, i usually only play when no one else is about.

Except i don't eat while playing which is likely to end with me looking like this

Spoiler: You've been warned

4 mates, LANning something like L4D, which requires co-op and survival. NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND!

I want my location to be as close to a dark, isolated bubble as possible.
