This post is part of Saga’s 20 Days of WoW Blogging Challenge!
Before I started playing WoW, I sat at my desk and had a 19″ CRT monitor and a comfy office chair and a keyboard tray and speakers and everything.
I got a laptop. I started playing WoW. The laptop was miles beyond my desktop computer. The desktop wouldn’t even let me install WoW.
Thus began the era of Kurn-on-the-Couch.
I generally sit on my couch with my laptop on my coffee table. I also have a lapdesk that I use frequently if I want to sit back to relax or if I want to play from my bed (which I do, sometimes!).
I looked around for a picture of my desk at the height of my “this is my workspace” time, but I cannot, for the life of me, find it.
It’s all moot anyways — whole new setup coming in the first week of May. New computer, dual monitors, new speakers, everything. I will definitely have to do something about the TV situation, though. I’ve gotten used to watching hockey games (among other things) over the top of my laptop screen!
So tune back in then for a pretty picture of my new setup. :)
Yesterday – Favourite Items in the Game
Tomorrow – The reason behind your blog’s name
I play WoW spanned across three monitors (5760 x 1080 goodness) with a 32″ LCD TV wall mounted right above the monitors. I can use the TV as a 4th monitor if I want to have a site open while raiding or something.
It’s bright, and it’s glorious.
If you’re getting dual monitors, you can have WoW up on one monitor, and stream an NHL game on the other! ;)
I highly recommend a Table Mate if you want to keep using your couch. I’ve used one for 6 years now. The big one *might* be able to hold dual monitors.

UFTimmy – ahaha, that sounds amazing! :D
Entropia – heh, I might just do that. ;) I don’t plan to have WoW extend across both, but plan to have the second monitor have things like World of Logs open, Mumble, etc, at least during raids. :)
Beez – Interesting! I do love my couch, but I think I’ll go back to using my totally abandoned desk. I do need a new chair for it, though, as well as a new desk lamp. But that’s an interesting idea for laptop use… Certainly better than my coffee table!
