    Now-a-days I average about 2hrs a month. 2-3 years ago I would play 18+hrs a day. MMO grinding fest, can't say I miss those days. FFXI was my timesink and it sure was a huge timesink at that.

    Average 5 hrs a week, if I have time. I currently play TF2, LoL or HoN, + some RDR.

    I play 1-2 hours a day, but this monday I begin working in a new job, so, this should probably affect the time is spend on games.

    About 40 hours a week. All while juggling a GF and Job. Busy busy.

    Hmm, well I would say about 10 hours a week. I have a girlfriend, and a job, so yeah, those two things keep me busy.

    But even if I was single and unemployed, I would probably still play the same. I like games, but if the games aren't that good (or don't have much replay value), I'm very likely to just delete them.

    Probably less than 9-10hrs a week on average. Not many games grab my attention...or hold it.
    At the moment the average is creeping up since I'm playing through the Narodnaya Solianka mod for STALKER:SHOC. The fact that it is so huge (includes all the maps from SHOC, CS and CoP as well as the Labyrinth, Dead City, ATP, Undiscovered Country, Forgotten Forest etc.), an additional two main storylines and around 200 additional quests (some very sophisticated and interdependant),....in addition to the not-fully completed translation, makes for a very challenging gaming experience that on many occasions requires backtracking to earlier savegames- which usually means extended gaming just to get back to the point where you started- albeit without the storyline lockouts from the previous run through.

    I play car racing games, but seldom (Shift, Colin McRae). In college, I maintained a Star Trek game for multiple users running on an hp mini computer.

    2-5 on any given day..

    i want to know how much techspot mods and writers play :)
  18. jetkami Newcomer, in training Posts: 85

    Gosh...I would say about 30 hours a week, bf2bc, starcraft, left4dead2, dragon age, quake4, mass effect, borderlands and torchlight.
  19. zogo Newcomer, in training Posts: 53

    About 3-4 hours pure daily gameplay. Depends on how much the game amuse me especially if it's RPG up to 10 hours per day, but sometimes down to 30 min per day if there is a stagnation in the game world (which is often nowadays) :)

    Really depends for me. Last school year I was doing about 15-20 hours per week. Over the summer it was probably about 25-35 hours a week. Now I'm down to maybe 5-10 hours a week. Maybe that will go up now that I got New Vegas?
