Time spent on gaming

[MrPopo]

Let's see, I get home around 5:30, usually play until around 11:30. So that's 6 hours a night on weenights. Then on weekends I get up between 9 and 11 and play til midnight, so that's 13-15 hours per weekend day. But on weekends I do a lot of internet surfing, so let's cut that down to 20 hours for the total weekend. So that's about 50 hours a week so far. Throw in about 3 hours of watching anime/TV shows a week and another 7 hours of reading, that leaves me at 40 hours a week.

Yes, gaming is a full time job for me.

I wouldn't have a clue how much I spend, I imagine it's around 20-30 hours a week though. I probably spend more time cleaning and watching movies.

I'm lucky to get more than an hour a day. I've been unemployed for about two weeks now, and my gaming time has actually decreased since then. We're pretty solid financially right now, so I have the luxury of being able to take time and find the right job for me. I'm not some unemployed mooch living off the government, just for the record. Still doesn't leave much time for gaming, though.

Between having to look for work, spending time with the wife and kid, being in two bands, and other shit like maintaining friendships and family relationships, I stay occupied most of the time. My personal life itself is a full-time job.

I've been playing Bully on Wii and FFIV on DS since December, and I've logged in a total of about 20 hours into each game so far. Aside from a casual match of Mario Kart or something similar, those are pretty much the only games I've played lately.

It doesn't help that I spend as much time here as I do on gaming, of course...

Maybe 6-10 hours a week if I have time. Thanks to portables mostly.

10 hours a week on PC. Maybe 2 on consoles.

When I'm not in school I'd say I play 8-10 hours a week.

During school I don't hardly ever play, mostly because my free time is taken up by work on projects.

When I have little time to play I find myself playing the HL2 games and Burnout Revenge for a good gaming fix (maybe some Sonic 3 & Knuckles thrown in there too). I get WAY more in depth when I don't have to worry about the specter of school hanging over my head.

I don't really watch TV, so the time most people spend watching TV I spend gaming or on the computer. I usually spend 20+ or more hours playing games each week. It depends on what is going on that particular week.

I get my majority of hrs. on the weekend.. Too many games so little time to finish 'em all...

I don't spend time with games that I don't believe are the cream of the crop (very few). I believe that many modern games are much longer than they really should be. I find myself bored with too many games after an hour of play, so the majority of the games that I play are "insert credit" games, which are very easy to just pop on and devote a half an hour to forty-five minutes toward.

I used to devote entire weeks to clearing through RPGS with all the hidden items, and bosses beaten, but after doing that with a few games, I've gotten very tired of RPGS, and they have lost their allure. Some do have great stories...but I'd much rather watch a movie.

I find that even though alot of games bare different titles...they dont do anything different enough for me to play them. This is the big problem I have with First-Person shooters. Sure their are hundreds of titles...but how many of them offer unique gameplay beyond a few small gimmicks?
So If your looking to save time...its a good way to cut out games.

I actually frequently forget to eat dinner. As a result, I spend less time on the can than most people.
