How much time do you spend gaming each day?

Hi everyone

I thought I'd grab you while you're most likely to be here to ask a relevant question..

If I can borrow a second of your time :)
Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    My answer is an average as well as during the week most days it would be maybe an hour at most or nothing, but at the weekends it is usually a lot more. So averaged over the week probably 1-2 hours/day.

    Probably two or three hours before I get bored but this week for example I have not played a game all week, it depends on my mood but I have never done 15+ hours lol

    Either way, I take breaks from time to time and then watch a bit of TV, then return rather than straight through.

    I go through bursts. I haven't played in ages right now, but once I'm bitten by the bug again, I'll be sneaking in a few hours during the week and clocking up some serious gaming time at the weekends. But right now, zero. :)

    I've put one to two hours a day. I generally play an hour most days, but when OH is at work when I'm on days off, which tends to happen once a fortnight or so, I can put in hours and hours, and into the wee small hours too. :o

    1-2 hours during the week, if that. On a day off - 6-7 hours probably, I'm missing one of those girlfriend thingies to drag me out of the house at the moment :p

    a few hours a day - often 3-4 but y'know how it is, some days more (significantly more) some days less, depends on what I'm playing at the time and how "invested" in it I am.
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.

    Depends on annual leave.
    When I'm on leave, I might play up to 24-36 hours a week.

    Usually on average 2-3 hours, possibly slightly lower. Again, depends what game I am in to at the time.

    1-2 hours at the moment whilst I play through Borderlands 2 again. Normally it's less than an hour.
  • 4-5 hours
    4-5 hours nightly, weekends if I'm not out I'll happily do 10-12 hour sessions.

    Mixture of games and SP/MP depending on my mood.
