Standing, not sitting, at the computer is the latest craze when it comes to productivity. But the benefits one can reap while doing work can also be gained while gaming, or so says a guy on the Internet.

While I don’t believe standing up while playing games will automatically result in losing 31 pounds in a year, I am hip to pretty much everything he says. Because I myself am a person who does the whole standing while at the computer deal.

Began do so recently, and thus far, it’s kind of awesome? I’m able to focus, and not just do more work, but better work. Yet because my computer is a Mac, I barely do any gaming on the thing.

Because, you see, there are no games on Apple’s machines, or have you heard that joke a million times already? Anyhow, swing by Kotaku, where the above was found, for an editorial from one of their writers, who also expounds upon the virtues of standing while gaming.
