Just curious to know how much time the average Giant Bomber spends a day playing video games. When I say a day, I mean an average day, taking into account weekends and the like.

I'd say I probably play games about 2-3 hours in an average day, unless of course I'm playing Oblivion in which case its like 6-8.

Go.

Probably 3-5 hours, sometimes more if I have nothing to do.

When I was playing WoW, 12 hours daily. Currently it fluctuates anywhere between maybe an hour a day to six depending on the day.

My average time seems to be slipping these days... 2 to 5 hours at most, I'd say. Kind of depends on the game.

Depends really.

I think that my daily average ranges from 3 to 4 hours. However weekends can extend me to 8-12 hours or more, especially when I buy a new game.

I'm working a lot more than I play games nowadays - even though I love to sit down every now and again and have a long gaming session.
When I played WoW I used to play way too much, and I'd get a bit depressed about it, since I quit I've been doing so much more!

Depends on work but tend to get in a least an hour or two per day. More if it's a new game.

Varies from time to time. If I really want to finish a game I guess 8-10 hours but it may be more or less depending on the type of mood I'm in.

It depends on my mood, sometimes I'll play a game all day, sometimes maybe a few hours, then some days none at all.

Usually one to two hours. But it depends on the game or season.

A few hours a day if possible, maybe more on weekends. Sometimes I can go nuts though, like with MGS4 my first sitting was about 12 hours, but that's only with games I'm really hyped up about...

Yeah it really depends. Like, the day I got MGS4, I played for 11 hours. Seriously. But if I have nothing new to play, I may not play any games at all. On average, I'd say maybe 3-4 hours.

Usually about 2-3 hours a day, but most of my friends are on holiday the last couple weeks, so I've been looking for things to occupy myself with. My last big gaming session was spent completing Halo 3 on Legendary on co-op over Live. Took about 10 hours thanks to our significant incompetence at some parts, and that we thought it would be funny to kill each other. Damned if it wasn't fun though :D

It does indeed fluctuate between days, depending on the game.

With a new game - 3-4 hours.
With my regulars - 1-2 hours.

I've been playing AoC a lot since its launch so since then probably 3-4 hrs a day.  Its hard for me to tell since I don't just sit strait.  I'll get up and doing things throughout the day.

Less than two hours five days of the week at least, work is a pretty heavy constant, and a lot of times when i get home, I just get on the laptop, eat some dinner, browse around, and go to bed.  Makes the fact that I have three twenty plus hour JRPGs on my 360 kind of silly, as I doubt at this rate I'll beat any of them.  But at least it's the opposite of the old problem of beating my games too quickly because I had too much spare time.

Usually something like 10-20 hours a week. Depends on if I've just bought a new game and if I'm doing anything.

Way to revive an old thread, although admittedly this one is a pretty interesting topic.


My honest answer? Both far too much time, and not enough time. If you'd rather have numbers, anywhere between one and four hours a day.

Generally I don't play that much and when I do, it's usually not for very long periods, unless I stumble upon a game that truly wins me over.
