I'm on the low end of the 10-20 hour range these days.

Too much variability to fit well, but I'd say 0-10, with my actual vote going 0-5.


Edit: Revised vote with new options to 0-10.

Sorry, DFK. I changed the poll options to larger ranges, which blitzed your vote.

Probably around 15-18 hours. Depends what week it is.

I'm right around 10 (and that includes casual crap).

It is highly cyclical, more in the winter months than the summer.

same. Although I vary widely, from 1 or 2 some weeks up to 20 on other weeks. If i get into something, I can play it obsessively for a little while.

It varies wildly. I've been really into SW:TOR with expansion launch, so I'm probably playing 20+ hours with some extended time on weekends.

With the weather getting nicer, and my workshop needing some spring cleaning, so I can get back to working on guitars, I expect that number will drop to closer to 5-10.

We should retire and start making custom guitars ...

You obviously haven't been guitar shopping lately.

Chinese knock-offs have killed the guitar market.

Unless you can find a way to actually fabricate a 57 Strat or Les Paul (I don't mean a re-issue), there is no way to make money selling custom guitars unless you already have an established customer base, and even then it's a tough go.

I just do it as a hobby. I have to have a full time job to cover my costs.

I had reduced my time playing games to less than 10, then analyzing my budget decided to cut out a lot of the resource eating activities I had replaced the time on the computer with. Now I'm back up to the 20-30 range.

I'm probably on the 10-20 range on an annual average. As others, I binge a bit higher when a game grabs my interest. Hopefully, the average is actually on the lower end of that range. I don't really track the time closely.

20 hours sounds about right. I pull down a couple hours every morning after work and Friday nights I will sit down three to four hours if not more.

I also go through phases - sometimes I'm just not playing much, other times I'm playing quite a bit. When I'm into something, I'll put in 2-3 hours after work and then binge on the weekends, so 20-30 sounds about right.

It's been zero recently.

Back in EQ raiding days it was around 25-30 and peaked at over 35 during late Velious (PoG or NToV clears all day :/). When I was working 7 10's I still managed to work out and get a couple hours every day grinding through TBC quests in WoW.

More than everyone here. I probably average about 60 hours a week.

Too much life. 0-10 these days. If it's a slow work week and I can fit some in during the day, 10-20.

0-10. Often much closer to the "0" than the "10," but I take a wild hair every now and then and dig into something (BioShock Infinite, picking up a Wii U, etc.).

0-10, but I expect this to increase in 10 to 20 years when next next gen games come out. (sorry I don't know the proper term)
