It varies tremendously. This week it's been 2-3 hours a day, sometimes it's 5-6. For the last couple of weeks I've been so busy cataloguing stuff that I've not played at all. Working fulltime doesn't help at all :(

1-2 hours per day.

When I'm really into a game that can peak into 4-5 hours during vacations or sometimes it happens that I don't game for a whole week.

I have gone weeks without playing and i have played literally for days straight.

In the last month playtime has probably averaged out to 1-2 hour a day.
In the last week i have played for about 2 hours.
Yesterdays playtime was about 30 mins.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 hours a day. Its my only hobby at the time.

School Days - 1-3
Weekend - 2-5

On some days I don't play at all, and on some I can play for the entire day.

It varies some weeks I'll put in a couple hours a day, but in the past couple weeks I haven't been wanting to game so I've probably only played a couple hours total.

Not as much as i use too. I find myself doing more collecting and searching than actually plan. A lot of this has to do with time management. Gotta spend time with the misses and the kids so i would say every other day for about 2Hrs.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: phoenix1967 on December 21, 2008, 07:47:19 PM
Over the course of a week, I'll play about 3 or 4 days, anywhere from 30 minutes (If I'm just trying demos) to 5+ hours. Overall, I think it averages out to about 1-2 hours/day.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: NES_Rules on December 21, 2008, 08:43:13 PM
I would like to get in a couple hours each week, but I'm usually lucky to get a couple hours each month. While I'm on Winter break, I should be able to get in more time than usual.

Lots.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: NESman93 on January 05, 2009, 12:58:48 PM
School days - 1-3 hrs.
Weekends - 2-6 hrs.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Izret101 on January 05, 2009, 01:17:53 PM
Lately 2-5 hours on off days 0-2 hours on days i work.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Fuyukaze on January 09, 2009, 03:02:37 AM
On work days, it all depends if I'm realy tired or have other stuff to do.  Today for instance, I'm adding games to my list I've not added for the past couple months.  On off days though, that's a whole nother story.  Past 2 off days I had, I logged nearly 14 hrs into Disgaea DS bringing my total to nearly 150 hrs.  Sure, that's average to some but I just dont have the time or energy to play games every day like I did when I was younger.  Now days, I gotta take it when I can and miss it when I cant.

Side note, this thread could use a poll.

I usually play about an hour a night, but lately Fallout 3 has turned that into like 3-4 hours a night


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Haoie on January 10, 2009, 10:38:09 PM
Very little. Maybe 2-3 hours a week.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Kimoosabi on January 12, 2009, 05:10:43 PM
Couple hours per day, on my day off that can balloon up to 5-7 hours.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: mrmetroid on January 12, 2009, 09:27:35 PM
i squeeze at least an hour in a day


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: shoes23 on January 18, 2009, 12:05:07 PM
Not nearly enough, I'd day I'm averaging about three hours a week, and it's winter here so I'm in the slow part of the year.  Once summer rolls around again, I probably will be lucky to get an hour a week in.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: cant-grow-up on January 21, 2009, 10:30:02 PM
Nothing compared to what I used to when I was a kid up until high school,back then it was easily 6 hours a day (new games called for a "sick day") but now a days with a full-time job,bike and project car I might average 2 hours a day 2 or 3 days a week. Mostly it boils down to me just being in the mood.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: phoenix1967 on January 23, 2009, 09:07:48 AM
I need to pace myself better. I was up late playing on a work night on Tuesday (Wed early AM), and was just too tired to play anything the last 2 nights. That, plus the Lost SP, and cathing up on my DVRs, The Office & 30 Rock, I just watched TV the last 2 nights.

Planning on gaming tonight, though, with den68 and friends for some multiplayer! 8)

Tested TimeSplitters and TimeSplitters 2 yesterday. Great games. :)

EDIT: ^ Ooops, this was meant to go in the Gaming Diary, of course.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Lucri on January 25, 2009, 06:50:34 PM
I game about 2-3 hours roughly a day if I don't have stuff to do. Otherwise, I'd try and put in at least an hour a day. There are the rare times I'm really hooked in a game and when that happens I'd play for 5 hours or more. But the rare times are really rare.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Tynstar on March 05, 2009, 04:17:38 PM
Everyday

Or I at least load up a few games on my 360 everyday.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Crabmaster2000 on March 05, 2009, 04:53:26 PM
Usually get to play about 2 hours a day. Somedays I get lucky and double that though, maybe once or twice a week.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: phoenix1967 on March 05, 2009, 05:24:06 PM
I don't know from 1 day to the next lately now much I'll be able to play.

Sometimes, though, I'll go apeshit and play for 3+ hours straight for multiple days in a row (at significant sleep loss...damn you Fallout 3!). Other days, I may just DL a video or 2 and demo some stuff which in total may be less than an hour. Or I won't game at all.



Title: Re: How often do you game?

Geez you guys have a lot of spare time.


Title: Re: How often do you game?

Why sleep when you could be doing some thing more important?

Is it too late to add a poll to this one?

My family is awesome. We play the Wii every night for at least 2-3 hours. I'd say with the weekends I play 15-20 hours. Right now we are replaying Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

I took advantage of the lousy weather here in Michigan this past weekend and got in a Fallout 3 marathon session. Something not likely to happen again for me for probably a lonnnnng time.

If I were to add a poll, what options would you guys want?


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Sirgin on March 09, 2009, 04:18:36 PM

Maybe the question should be "how many hours do you play per week?"

And the options:
0-2 hours
2-5 hours
5-10 hours
10-15 hours
15-20 hours
20-30 hours
30+ hours

Something like that?

OK, a poll has been added.

Thanks! :)

I try to squeeze in about an hour a day, putting me in the 5-10 hours category.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Tynstar on March 10, 2009, 03:12:13 PM
Up until 2 weeks ago I was playing 30+ my guess.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: blcklblskt on March 10, 2009, 03:18:14 PM
I usually put in around 2-5, sometimes a little more though, especially when I get a game I really like


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: gamepopper101 on March 29, 2009, 04:25:53 PM
I Think I surf the net equally from gaming, I used to play games more but back then I got tired of playing games without having people like all of you to talk about games  ;D


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 29, 2009, 05:29:07 PM
Probably 20-30

if I have nothing to do in a week 30+


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Barracuda on March 29, 2009, 06:38:31 PM
I would game about 15-20 a week when I was working. Now that I'm unemployed I expect that to be 30+ a week.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: raffa1985 on February 19, 2012, 11:01:35 AM
I would say in average:
1 hour during business days
2-3 hours on weekends

But it depends, sometimes i go several days without playing if there's nothing really interesting, but when there's a Zelda, Castlevania, Resident Evil or something as great i game 6-7 hours a day during weekends/holidays and during business days i try to sleep less to play more.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Razor Knuckles on February 20, 2012, 11:37:59 PM
Probably about 2 hours a week. I usually only play games on Friday night after work. I'm to busy to be playing games nowadays :( I still collect games like crazy though.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: gamer2112 on March 06, 2012, 03:12:01 PM
Hasn't been much work these last couple years, so I'm in the 4-10 hours per day range.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: No on March 07, 2012, 02:52:51 PM
I'll try to play an hour or 2 a day currently but sometimes might go for a couple of days not playing anything at all.

A long time ago, I might have played a game for a few hours a day but can't remember for how long.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: FireStar on March 07, 2012, 05:07:16 PM
With school and all I haven't got too much time for gaming, aside from Streetpass on the 3DS which I do everyday.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: NeoMagicWarrior on March 07, 2012, 05:08:55 PM
im usually up and down depending on what the lab requires of me. Usually the day consists of filling the auto-sampler, playing games and eating till it is done...emptying and refilling it, and going home...where i play more games xD


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Izret101 on March 07, 2012, 06:15:52 PM
Since going to visit Tynstar probably 8+ hours a day.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: techwizard on March 12, 2012, 02:36:44 AM
really random for me...sometimes i'll play up to 8 hours in a day too, but other times i won't play at all. really depends on how much real life gets in the way.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Izret101 on March 14, 2012, 06:04:47 PM
Yea i suppose i don't really get hours of solid game time in. My system(s) are on for 8-24+ hours at a go and i just bounce back and forth between them and the internet and TV and chores and blah blah blah.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: kamakazi20012 on March 19, 2012, 02:53:09 AM
I'm a college student (online only) and care for my wife who is disabled; which means I do most of the house chores.  My breaks are spent on a game machine of some kind.  I can easily spend between 5 and 8 hours playing a game without knowing it.  So, put me down for the 30+ hours a week.  If life gets in the way, then it drops but I still make time to get in about 10 hours a week. 

My current game?  I just got a hold of a grab box of 30+ XBOX games and am playing NASCAR Chase For The Cup 2005 for the first time ever.  Nice game.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Deafens Proner on May 06, 2012, 12:30:45 PM
2-5 hours


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: wildbil52 on May 08, 2012, 10:31:04 AM
VERY up and down for me.  I love it when I get the chance to sit down for an hour or two to play something but I probably average 2-5 hours a week on video games.  If you count board games, maybe 4-8.


Title: Re: How often do you game?
Post by: Haoie on May 22, 2012, 03:29:15 AM
A few hours every other day, more in the weekend. Probably works out to an hour each day.
