For me it must be between 10 to 20 hours...

Bare in mind i do have a duty to help out here at DH,Most of this time is usually over the weekends..

Its so pleasing i can continue with Football Manager 09 through out the whole week.That it enables me to minimize the game whilst using the Internet at the same time.

between 20-50 normal and 50-100 in extreme cases , the remaining time I spend on tracking new games news and reviews

"I game when I can, it varies"

sometimes i game for several hours...about 15/wk. and sometimes i don't game at all for weeks on end. it all depends on how much time i have. once i graduate from school though, i would imagine i'd be gaming a little more than what i currently do

About 15hrs per week for me.

Never, during term time I am banned (although I can easily sneak on, I have banned myself) because of school work

Holidays my mum tries to limit me to 1 hour per day, but...... yeahh

About 1 hour in the evening fragging with Far Cry is enormously relaxing and defusing anger. The perfect therapy!

I don't game at all, I am on the wrong site

Yeah, that would be me.......

I'm forever claiming that i hardly game, but i do spend quite a lot of time during nights when i can't sleep getting fragged on CS:S and trying to complete a few more % on Burnout
apparantly between 30-35 hours a fortnight, so i voted 10-20 hours per week

i do spend some limited time occasionally playing consoles, but added up and taken as an average i can't imagine i exceed 20 hours a week.
its actually quite a lot more than i would have thought (that's why i took a bit of time to vote, so i could keep an eye on myself and be vaguely accurate)

I just found this thread so am going to add my 2 cents :

I used to game a lot when i was still in university but as i get older i find that i hardly game as much anymore, I think it mainly because i dont have the time anymore; i.e. with work and social obligations and all that sort of stuff. But i really miss those endless nights of staring at the PC screen trying to figure out how to kill a boss or how to finish a game

life was much more fun back then

So , I guess there is an advantage finally of the college for me. lol.

I am pretty busy now , most of the time outdoors going to or coming from the college that I can hardly game 3 hours or more a day.

Under 10, easily, I've probably played about 10 hours worth of games in the past 2 months.

Last year of university is not allowing me much free time.
