A couple of hours a day in the weekends when all the premium stuff is ready - good content to help mend the hangovers I usually deal with. Other than that, maybe 10 minutes on the average weekday.
@jacdg: I tend to watch the reviews a lot and other free videos since I am not a paid member yet. Also too I have started editing pages earning some wikipoints.
It's my home page, so I skim it anytime I open my browser... depends on if there's and interesting/funny quick look to view, a review to read or well written Klepek article to peruse. I'd say, maybe 1/2 hour a day in an average week.
Over the week I'd say it probably averages out to about an hour per day on actual content, and maybe an hour and a half where I'm actively on the forums, and not just refreshing or in another window.
2-4 hours on average. Depending what new content there is. Usually at least 2 hours between browsing the forums and checking back to see if there is new content posted.
Way more than I care to admit. Sooo many videos, so little time. Im still going back and watching old Unprofessional Fridays, TNTs and whatever else I missed.
Not very long. I mostly use the site for reading articles. Otherwise I use Youtube for the videos and iTunes for the podcasts. If I want premium videos I usually just download them and watch locally. Bombin' in the AM is great to attend if I can though.
Quite a lot although in chunks across the day checking in periodically. I mostly participate in the forums as you might guess with my 11k post count. Although I will watch videos and livestreams that interest me. My latest favorite thing is on days Im not working trying to catch the morning show live while I lean back and sip me some coffee.
These days? Almost zero. I have a job and shit. I'm about half a year behind on bombcasts still love the site though and I still wear the GB shirt I won when you couldn't buy them yet (my favorite shirt to wear to the airport)
@grissefar: Why don't you spend that much time on here? There are a ton of videos and other content to look at.
I don't know man, I did once but these days I'd like to think my time is worth more, you know? I could watch a movie or a show instead, or actually play a game instead of watching men do it. But I do use Giant Bomb stuff for background noise, sort of like the Bombcast. And also Giant Bomb Quick Looks that are worth watching are just so few and far between, you know? And I love Patrick for his journalism because God knows this industry needs some of that, but in videos he is pretty dang boring man.

I do not spend all of my time on here either, I tend to spend a hour here and there on here. Most days it is only 3 hours, I find this site to be very entertaining and useful.

Yeah it's all preference man, you like what you like, it's just that a lot of people don't have 3 hours to themselves a day and I have a lot more so I would at least like to think I spend it well but often I'm not good at that and so I feel ashamed for it but hey, I've watched both Endurance Runs back in the day so I'm not one to talk.
I visit the site many times and sometimes leave it opened. Despite this however I usually only spend about 15~30 mins a day at most. Sometimes I stop to watch something when I have the time. I take more time when I post something like this. However I can spend months without posting a single thing. When you consider I've been here since the beginning (like many of you) I've got a very low post count.
like @axlvandamme I do wonder how some people manage to have so much time on their hands. People work, study, do uh... all sorts of stuff. Even on my free time, as much as I love the site, there are a lot of things I want to do besides "giabtbombing".
It varies. Sometimes it can be one hour, sometimes it can be a few. I need to keep up with moderation stuff, but sometimes there's more work to do than other times, or sometimes I have more free time than others.
Not that many. People don't really talk to me here (I wish it wasn't the case, but oh well), and I've been straying from editing stuff since the Save button appears to have broken, and doesn't always save my progress.
