    Nowadays, I barely play as I devote most of my time to writing (and need to - love deadlines!)

    Now and again I might have a three or four hour session, but this will tend to be a game that doesn't need me to remember much about what I did three weeks ago.

    There was a time when I was so heavily into a MMORPG that I would play three hours or more a night, but that's a fancy that has now passed.

    So sadly, none of the poll choices are available to me.

    Right now I play games maybe a little over three hours a day, but when I start my job next Monday (summer work at the college full-time like last summer) I will have less time, and during the school year it's also more like 1-2 hours a night if I'm lucky.

    On average over the years, around 1-2 hours a day, since I don't have access to a computer that can both run a decent game and install it. The thinclients in my boarding house don't have anything for you to even insert a disc in, let alone play a computer game.

    Upto 5 hours per week.

    After I left the Military and bought my first Dell computer (a full spec. Dimension XPS 400) I got into playing computer games.
    When I married I cut down on the gaming and didn’t really play any games until I accidentally discovered MTW.
    My wife got angry because she’d thought she cured me. We agreed to compromise and I play occasionally.
    Does not having finished my first campaign in RTW yet give you an idea of how much I play?
    I can’t really say what the week average is as it can be months between each gaming session.
    I did try Star wars galaxies one month and there is a small house somewhere in the Tatooine desert with no current occupant.
    I have a lance corporal player in Battlefield 2…

    Sometimes I dream of a limbo place… where you can enter and time stands still and when you exit it would be as if you just turned in the doorway. I wish my home office was such a place… Please God, hear my prayer!!!

    So long as you're not hiding in your overgrown lawn preparing for a surprise flank attack against your neighbour you're ok.
