• Do you play PC games in fullscreen or windowed mode?

I use windowed if the performance hit on games isn't too big since I normally multi-task but fullscreen if I know the performance is going to suffer for it.
Full screen, Always, ALttab if needed
Full screen I only use windowed for 2D games
Fullscreen, unless the game doesn't like alt+tabbing (Gmod/Oblivion) or I am not always active ingame (Minecraft/OpenTTD)
Windowed = Minecraft, Terraria, Audiosurf. Full screen for everything else.
Fullscreened when I know I have time, windowed when I should be working. Kinda self-punishing, I guess.
Usually fullscreen or borderless windowed. If a game has borderless windowed I'll use that rather than fullscreen. If it's a game that only has fullscreen or windowed and acts weird when minimized I play windowed.
Windowed. Easier to mess with Skype etc that way.
Old games that have no widescreen support are played in windowed, unfortunately they usually don't support windowed mode.
I always play games from GoG in a windowed screen, but most games I play on fullscreen. Although my resolution is kind of shitty, 1366x768.
Windowed fullscreen Alt tabber
Fullscreen, or if possible, borderless windowed at the screens native resolution.
Fullscreen, don't have the power to run high end games window mode on max.
Windowed if someone is bitching on msn.
I do a mix between both. I sometimes play in Windowed if I'm uploading, or I just think it feels better. (Why the fuck won't my avatar change?)
