from the quick google search I've done it appears that l shaped standing desks are pretty expensive.
That's really sound advice. I've actually been doing it throughout the day as part of my training for tough mudder, a slightly mad half marathon.

I sit all day, well except while I'm sleeping. I wake up, get to work, start sitting in front of the computer, eat lunch, continue sitting, come home, and sit some more. The only time I may not be sitting is while I walk from bus to ship and home to bus and each takes under a minute.
I've thought about that, but my solution is far less expensive!
I want to do a tough mudder as well!
Unfortunately, its not really socially acceptable to just jump up and start squat thrusting at work or school.
that sounds so hard, I would rather kill 1000 demons in Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae, it counts for exercise, it does, because I get tired like I killed 1000 demons, well may be not that much, but it is tiresome!

Yeah it's worse when you have a desk job and the winter doesn't exactly help. I've found going to the bathroom on the otherside of the building / different floor is a good solution as well.
if you work in a cube farm that is.
I try to run for a bit when I can. I know it involves leaving home but when I return I feel less fatigue, or should I say, a different type of fatigue.
Every now and then I get tired because I can't focus on a game or I simply do not know what to play next (because of the Backlog or because I recently finished a game). By going for a run I get my body tired (I'm happy with a 10 min. walk + 30 min. running, I know this is not much but my heart beats faster than it should just on any ordinary day without exercise already) and by getting physical fatigue the simple act of sitting and enjoying a game feels better to me. Can't really explain but I get more will and joy to play a game after doing that.
Wut? How? That bundle isn't THAT interesting. It's kinda normal priced.
Boot into Offline mode.
I've been finding recently that I overuse my lower rib muscles way too much to keep my upper torso upright when I'm slouching in chairs (my legs are too short to have my feet planted on the ground for support).
I ordered a kneeling chair the other which will probably arrive Saturday. The idea being that since I do heavy back presses when I workout, it'll work better if I use the muscles I do have to keep an upright posture, instead of overworking my weak rib /lower chest muscles.

I game with a guy who plays games like Dota 2 and Titanfall while walking/running on his treadmill.
It's pretty hilarious when we're on the mumble and he starts pushing buttons on it to start his routine and people start asking if someone in the channel is hooked up to an EKG

Yes, sitting down for long periods of time is horrible on your body. Back when I used to get some massage therapy, I was told that knitters used to have horrible knots in their neck. Later, we started experiencing "typewriter shoulder," which was basically the same thing. Now we get it from computers. It can really screw up our arms and shoulders. Getting up to move every half hour is good for you.
A standing desk doesn't deal with shoulder stuff, just lower back stuff. The squats get your arms moving in a more neutral position, which is good.
That said (and bear in mind, I'm a sufferer of chronic pain/fatigue, so lol), 100 every half hour is a LOT, dude. Awesome.

Just managed to log in there (Europe)
Nah, got in just now. I think the login must just be a bit slower to come up with everyone trying.

Wooo F1 2013 being on a free is a very nice touch from Valve/Codemasters.
I was thinking of booting up 2012 to drive around Melbourne but now I'll do it on this!

I spend most of my day sitting too and It gives some aches on my back. In the last two years I've started running and doing some pull ups and It worked: I feel a lot better and I now simply enjoy going outside - gasp! - running and doing some exercise.
Start slowly, give yourself a target and you'll soon realize that what seemed to be a chore before it's actually more fun than what you believed.

Sad to hear that, man
Hopefully you two will be able to sit down and fix your issues. Whatever may happen, I hope you can stay strong. Feel free to vent here or via PM/Steam chat if you ever need it.
With a bit of luck (not really luck, just money and timeShame you didn't, I haven't been to Ushuaia but Bariloche and it's whereabout are real nice (I heard good things about Mendoza too, and I'm going there in a few weeks
Uruguayan Truco da bes, if you know that abomination known as Argentine Truco then the upgrade is not difficult
) I'll be able to visit those places somewhere in the future. Hope you enjoy your trip; if you or anybody else ever comes to Buenos Aires we should totally do a Latin American-GAF meet-up. I know there are a couple of ArgieGAFfers here, though I can't remember where exactly do they live.yeah. thankfully gaming isn't all I do for fun because if it was I would have burned out on it a long time ago and probably associated it with bad feelings or something along those lines.
I think as long as I'm busy with something I will be okay. It's the times where I'm bored where things are the hardest. I know I sound like a broken record at this point but the support even from relative strangers on this thread is helpful and appreciated.
at this point I really don't want things to be over but if it is I'm going to use it as an opportunity to improve myself even further.
I hope steam gets brought back online for everyone having difficulty playing.
