    Let's see, since currently being unemployed alot.

    Close to 12-16 hours a day so times 7 = 84-112 hours

    Then again I was always a big PC gamer.

    Usually around 15 hours more or less a week...
    Although this week I only gamed about 10 hours (try clicking on my xfire sig ;) ) and would probably game a lot less in the next week or so coz I'm having exams at the moment. :mad: :p

    Not as many as I used to do, but if I manage double digits in a week it'll be an achievement for me.

    Uhhh..10 hours. And that's only on weekends. Can't on weekdays because of classes. Maybe when I retire and over 60 then I'd go for my dream of spending the week gaming. :p

    Wow, some of you guys are pretty hardcore. I play less than an hour a day.

    Maybe a quick Hunters game on Brood War or a few CS:Source scrims. That's the extent of my gaming.

    I play in spurts :)

    Most of the time, its less than 1hr/day, but when a big ATLUS game comes out (about once a year and always during winter break), I've put in 60 hours a week for 2 weeks to beat the game.

    About 4 hours per weekday, usually in the evening, and it's scheduled. On weekends, not as much, too much stuff to do. But once in a while on a Friday night I will nerd it up into the wee hours of the morning.

    When i'm intrested in gaming (it comes sporatically) i can play 30-40 hours in a week. Most weeks though i doubt i'll play 1 hour.

    Its really all just according to how the mood hits me.

    Over the corse of an entire year i will probably play 120-130 hours
