  • Normally I'll play about 2 or three hours a day on weekends... But if it's a game I really like, a new game, or I'm playing with friends, then I might play for five hours or less...

    Mostly, I'll just get bored after about an hour though

  • It varies for me.
    Back in the day, on weekends of course (thank you jr. high and high school), I would play from the moment I woke up until I got tired enough to sleep.
    Nowadays it all depends on the game that I'm playing.
    I would say on average about 4-5 hours a session when I get really into it.
    Although there is many a time when I can only squeeze in about an hour, give or take, depending on if I'm busy or if I just get ADD and feel the need to do something else.

    I would probably say the longest I've spent on a game is about 16-17 hours.

    Haha.. which brings me back to one thing.
    One day my best friend and I spent, like, 3-4 hours playing Super Smash Bros. on the N64 on 100 stock with Bomboms and mines only, with the television hooked up to surround sound, and the volume turned up massively.
    It's kind of lame that we did it that long, but we could go on for hours doing stupid stuff like that all the time. :D

  • I only play for around 2 hours. Sometimes, 2 hours every 2 days.

    But sometimes I spree... like yesterday when I spent most of my time cooped up in my room playing Mass Effect.

  • I used to play for a minimum of about seven hours a day. It didn't do good things to me. Unless I have absolutely nothing to do that day, I try and limit myself to three hours or less daily.

    Of course, if we start talking about tabletop gaming, that goes right out the window and I'll play for as long as everyone else in the group is up for it.

  • All depends. If it's a game I really like and really want to beat, proabably 14 hours. Or the whole weekend. Friday night-Sunday night. But usually its only 30 min-1 hour

  • I usually play around 3-4 hours. Depending on what day it is. If it's a Saturday I'll maybe do 4+.
    If I get a new game I'll probably play like 4 hours of it.

    I have to break during games. So a 1 hour session is good enough.

    But I remember that I went on a four hour gaming spree on Fate of Heat. And then my game glitched and I had to start all over. :{

  • I usually play around one to two hours. The longest I've ever played straight was about 16 hours. I go crazy when I get new games and I play for about five extra hours a day, but it settles down after a while.

    I gotta tell you. Playing for over ten hours (which I've done plenty of times) makes you go crazy sometimes. :)

    During the summer time, one of my favorite things to do is to pull an all-nighter while playing oblivion.

    Now I just play for 2 hours average cause of schoolwork.

    Depends on the game. When I got Fallout 3 I played it for like....13 hours the first time, and when I first got Crysis I played for 22 hours straight (sadly that was in the summer). My average gaming session would be four or five hours.

  • generally about an hour or two per session but now that I'm off for winter break (aside for two exams) and addicted to disgaea it will likely be a lot more time

  • If I do have a session of gaming, it's usually between one and two hours; perhaps a little nearer to the one than the two. Quite a few nights I just don't have the time to play games due to homework. Talking of which... >_<;

  • If I have nothing to do that day, I'll get a bag of Doritos and VEG all day in front of the Playstation. But on other days where I have school or work, I'm only on for like one or two hours. Provided I have time for that much of course xD
