I usually just turn the volume down to a level where it doesn't block off all other sounds. Using open headphones instead of closed ones (or earbuds) may also help.

But then again, I guess it depends on the traffic in your city. If you live in a city where the traffic is so noisy that it's pointless to try and listen to music without pretty loud volume, then I guess it's dangerous to listen to music while walking.

I dunno, I believe I played most of Resident Evil 4 stretched out on my stressless. You don't really need big movements to point at the screen or even to shake the Wiimote around. (Although I guess the pointing part depends on your TV/living room setup.)

The hint is to not keep your hand lifted up all the time, but to just let it rest on your lap, knee or the armrest, even when you need to point it on the screen. ...I think I even play Wii Sports/Tennis like that now.

I use keyboard shortcuts for everything except for actually browsing on a website and clicking on links (and bookmarks). Escape to stop a page load. F5 or Ctrl-R for reloads. AFAIK (or remember), this works in all major browsers. And I don't even need to take my hand of the mouse to press those buttons!

But, that asides, I'm sure your point is a valid point.

Actually, I bought a "cheap" Toshiba 52" LCD HDTV, and found that it can't use full HD with the PC input... my laptop has HDMI output though, so it wasn't a problem for me, but it's something you should beware of. I'm not sure if more expensive HDTVs are any better, although I feel that they should be...
