While I was at one of my lan parties I took a server of how much gamers actually game in a day. Some said as little as an hour, and some said over 8 hours. So, ladies, how much do you game?

On average.. I usually game 4-6 hours a day. Sounds like a lot, but then again it's my job in a way :P

It depends what day it is and what we're up to at home. (cos we work from home)
Sometimes like 1-2 hours, most times 5-6.. hehe. Like today. >_>

@GG-Kaboom do you review games for work?

It depends. Sometimes after work I will play games for 3 hours or so, on weekends I might spent all part of the day/all night playing if I have a new or interesting game. I played almost every moment of free time right after buying Heavy Rain.

However, if friends are available to go out and do something, I will always put up the controller to be with people.

@Asuka - Yes, Girl Gamer is my job :D and boy, do I love it! Sometimes when you have to review a game you don't like though it's not as fun.. but still gaming is gaming.

Depends on the day and if I have games to review. If I have a review it's past 8 hours and sometimes days. So a lot, but that's for the blog.

Hmm. Great question. Depends on what day it is. On tuesdays and thursdays I have barely any class time so I'm home quite a bit and usually play maybe 2-4 hours depending on my mood. On weekends I could play anywhere between 2-5 hours a day. Otherwise on the days I have classes maybe 1-2 hours or none at all.

I game everyday usually for 2-4 hours, this is straight after I get back from sixth form... gaming one of my escapes from reality.

I rarely game less than 6 hours a day unless I've got something on.

"...gaming one of my escapes from reality." - same here, gaming and guitar are my escapes from the world :)

At minimum two hours, but it depends on what I've got and what mood I'm in. Saturday for example was roughly 6-8 hours playing Mini Ninjas. Considering that I'm unemployed the time definitely gets taken up by lots of game time, but I also spend a lot of time writing and doing other things. Lately especially I've been trying to manage my time better.

Unfortunately, I have family obligations that get very irritating.

@GG-Kaboom That is so cool! It must be really fun to sit and play games and think "I'm working right now" :P
Working from home is like the best thing EVER. But I got pretty lazy from this lifestyle... haha.

Not as much as I would like to I have to say. But I work 2 jobs and freelance in illustration to pay the bills so i think its amazing that I am able to get in the time that I do.
I am slowly working my way towards working from home and hopefully my game time will increase at that point. So right now it can be as low as an hour and half or as much as 5 per day.
But the main thing is that i play SOMETHING every day. :D

Usually a couple hours a night, usually late evening US eastern time. I game instead of TV :-). I occasionally binge on weekends, too.
