This is silly. I'm in my 40's and would never live like this.
Obviously I need a chair with back support and a bottle of Tums to go with this otherwise awesome night.
And something to hold the TV at a reasonable viewing angle from a comfy seated position.
My wife still thinks that the box filled with school books was not an appropriate TV stand. Sheesh... I wrapped it in a blue blanket to class it up.
Old milk crates were awesome for that. Hold the TV then have a place for your console underneath if you put it on it's side.
