How much time do you spend gaming??

[FLYING SE7EN]

Time to own up on our hobby. I fall into the hardcore category averaging about 17 - 20 hours per week unless my wife is out of town with the kids, then I fall into the obsessed category.

 

So who's the hardest of the hardcore LCVG gamers?

 

Vote away.

I'm obsessed. Normally 3-4 hours per day (of course, most of that tends to be just one game)...

[Robot Monkey]

Casual.

[blackcalx]

Part-time jobber here. With my wife and daughter out of town I'm closer to the "I need help" level as I spend as much time as I can playing a game.

I'm obsessed too and I'm pretty sure that one game that you play is the same one I'm about to go play right now Hey, the Imp needs a new costume :tu:

It varies, I put part-time job, but lately I've been playing a lot more. I was bordering on the insane for the last month when I was addicted to Morrowind, but now that's done and curling season is beginning, so I'll be toning down my gaming. Although, what with the colder weather, the massive amount of great new games, and a new HDTV on its way, it may get worse than before, who knows?

I'm avid. I spend an hour or two, 5 days a week. The only non-Live game I have played recently is KotOR, so it's pretty easy to see how often I game by checking your Friends list.

Obsessed/insane here. I get home from work at around 10:30. Wife goes to bed around 11:30-midnight and I game from that time to about 4-5am most days. Though when new release DVD's come out I take a break and on my new game day releases (like yesterday) it's not uncommon of me to spend a good 7+ hours in my second bedroom gaming if I'm off work. (though the wife gets me to eventually come out and take her out to dinner/socialize/husbandly like things etc. ) I try to not game as much when I have a day off though, I like to reserve that time for Sara.

This is a tough question to lock down an answer, for many obvious reasons. I have had a few of " I need help" weeks (BF 1942 comes to mind), and on the flip side, there are weeks like the this week, very much casual. I choose moderate 6-8, as that's my best guess of average.

I love when I can afford to have one of those obsessive weeks! Halo 2 anyone!

Oh yeah....

 

Rock needs new duds, too. Of course, he need 4 more levels, first.... :?

[Rob B]

With school work and fam I am currnetly a Casual gamer. I used to be Serious not to long ago...

[Thrillho]

I'm pretty hardcore, although my wife is really trying to change that. But with the pending release of Halo 2, I may goto into a completely and utterly insane category.

[Carlucci]

Casual here. Well, nowadays, anyway.

 

There's just too many things competing for my time these days.

[Failsafe]

Like Joel said, tough to nail down. I also chose moderate. There is usually a 2 - 3 hour stint of Live gaming once a week. I usually pick up the controller for an hour or so three or four more times a week on average.

[Kain rising]

Usually Casual to Moderate, but there have been the occasional spikes to Hardcore.

[matt]

As with most, my gaming varies. Some weeks I'll drive my wife crazy (KOTOR played through Light side and Dark Side back to back) other times I don't even get a chance to play during the week. I went with Avid since that would probably average it out, or at least that's how often I'd like to be playing every week

[rustyjaw]

It varies a lot, I chose moderate. I move up to serious for certain games that I love.

No kidding. I'm going through Morrowind again (this time the GOTY Edition) and what a time thief. When I'm in Morrowind/KOTOR/______ -mode, I definitely go up the scale.

Since I can usually finish off a 20-hour game in a week, I put myself in the Hardcore category.

[Starhawk]

I side with Robot Monkey, Bobbio, and FreakTornado.

 

I voted for Casual, but Ive been falling into Casual/Moderate lately. I don't seem to time manage well for games. I've been wanting to play Burnout on Live forever and haven't gotten around to it (other than 1-player and alot of multiplayer).

 

I do tend to jump into the other categories occasionally. Overall though, it seems I've been downtrending my time videogaming since I was about 18 with occasional spikes here and there. I go nuts for Nintendo console launches.

[Ricky G]

Hardcore - 17 to 20 hours per week for me.

 

I play something at least 5 nights a week, for 3+ hours at a time. And I wish I had MORE time to play. :oops:

Another vote for casual, moving up to moderate at times (game pending).

 

When something like GT4 comes out, I will spend a weekend in lock-out mode (i.e. probably 20 hours over a weekend) but very few games do that for me. The last game that did it was PGR2.

 

I probably won't even go into lock-down for HALO2.

 

School, work, exercise and social life come first, so I really don't have anything left. Not to mention movie releases that also eat into gaming time. Since September, it's been 1-2 hours per week (weekends only), if that. I usually do some catching up on major holidays like Christmas break or summer.

[JoeyN]

Recently not as much as i have in the past as i go to work earlier and come home later. Usually hop on some sort of game for a few hours at night. Mostly COH still, but i do play some MK or battlefront if people are on

 

Still in the hardcore area. Used to be in the Insane bracket

I seem to be like most people here - I'm hardcore with FFXI taking up the majority of my playing hours. However, when the wife and kids are out of town, watchout! I'm lucky if I'm in bed by 5:00 a.m.
