    I used to play a lot of games when I had my desktop. I had to sell that off and get a laptop for work, which actually can play games at decent settings. But I don't just feel like playing games for long hours on the laptop, it doesn't feel as good as on a high-config desktop. :(

    Yeah, I'm addicted to games. I play around 4-5 daily, which is really a lot of time. When I get bored of GTA (which hardly happens), I start playing Battlefield :D I don't know why I'm so addicted to PC games, maybe this will get right when I grow up :)

    I work from home, so I am constantly taking breaks to play games LOL. i'd say like half of my waking life is spent playing some kind of video game. Not sure if that's a good thing.

    I also play around 1 to 3 hours when I have the time, but sometimes, after an hour I would quit already, because my arms are starting to ache from pressing the keyboard.

    I used to game about four hours each session when I was still studying. After I've got a job I had to cut, these days it's only about one to two hours daily.

    If I've had to work earlier in the day, I'll try to play for an hour or so, but this doesn't happen too often. On the weekends, I'll try to get in at least two hours each day. It helps that my girlfriend is into shooters as much as I am.

    I would say at least a good hour or two almost every day and when I have almost nothing to do I will play for quite a while. When I was younger anytime I did not have school work I would spend it playing games unless I had a better option so while I may not be an addict anymore I could certainly never go cold turkey.

    I spend 3 hours a day sometimes when I am really bored, but, if I am in the mood to play games I play about 12 hours of GTA V or sometimes I play Assassins Creed.

    2-3 hours per day, I spend more time on reddit now than playing games, except when I get a new one and have to finish it straight away!

    My gaming habits are usually quite sporadic. If I start a game I will immerse myself in it and could play up to 5 hours a day until I've completed it. After completing one game, I tend to take a couple of weeks out from gaming before starting a new one.

    I think that's a great way to play, I wish I could force myself to take those days off :)
    That way you don't lose the plot in whatever you are currently playing and you are refreshed when you start a new one.

    I used to play 5-6 hours of League of Legends daily! Now I have stopped completely from doing that I just play 2-3 hours a week. I have to focus on my exams they are coming soon and it's really worrying me and not making me focus on my studies.

    Generally, I spend about 2-3 hours on a game on average, but lately, I have only been able to play 1-2 hours once every few days. During my more peaceful days, I play for about 8-10 hours with small breaks here and there, but those days are far and few.

    When I was younger I would play video games endlessly, day and night. It became a problem when my family noticed I played way too often. I eventually took a step back, and even a few more over the years. I used to play for more than 12 hours a day, permitting myself only a few breaks. With a busier schedule and school that I'm trying to finish up, I only have time for a few hours a week now. Every now and then I'll go on a weekend rampage and stay up all night playing video games, but I've learned to enjoy the moments that I have time for.

    I spend most of my days off gaming! It's not very good, but I really love gaming! It's probably one of the most important things in my life.

    I play 2-5 yours a day, because I don't have much more time to do so everyday. But when I have the time I like to extend the gaming time to 8 hours or so, but that doesn't happen too often, because I have a lot of work to do. I also have something called life so I can't spend most of my day playing video games even if I'd like to do so.
