    Depends on lots of things.

    At my peak of RtCW / ET I was playing probably a good 5 hours a day if not more, if I had full use of the telephone line. Went to a lan where we played and leached from 6pm friday night till about 3pm Sat - hit KFC - then back for more gaming until late sat night. So wasted Sunday. <geekiest thing I've ever done>

    I just got a new game (Evil Genius) which is taking a long time to do anything really, and I've been playing about 3-5 hours a day in the evenings.

    But on average, maybe 6-10 hours a week. Even if it's just Solataire while chatting on MSN / AIM.

    It really depends on what game I am playing. I work second shift, so I usually play for an hour or two after I get home to wind down.

    If he bought the game in Feb, and it's now July. I'd dare say he does a lot more than just sleep and go outside. You'd think if he played solid without sleep etc, he'd have passed it in a few days. [face_plain]

    Didnt take Ex a few years to get past Desann on JO? So FoM says him playing non-stop for a few months is not that much of a stretch.

    A few years? It couldnt possibly have taken anyone that long to kill Desann

    depends - when I get a new game it goes up a lot, when I'm touring I still take my x-box and get some gaming time in but not as much as at home.
    I'd say between 10-15 on a regular basis though.

    Hey Guys, cool topic. I spend about 15 hours a week gaming. What are you guys playing at the moment. For me it is SSX 3, SNK Vs Capcom SVC Chaos, Burnout 3 and Killzone. Oh and not forgetting Ridge Racers on PSP.Finished Republic Commando (very cool game) thanks to one of you Guys (Don't like cheating but tips are OK!)
    ;)

    Setting the rumour mill straight . . .

    I haven't yet been able to beat Desann on hardest level, and only been trying for a year, me thinks, not years.

    Secondly, I started playing Sith Lords sparingly, sporadically. Now, in the recent month, I played half the game to conclusion.

    I remember it taking 11 weeks to finish Ocarina of Time; 7 of them alone to work out the water temple, that there was a floor gap to explore for a key when you raise the central tower's water level.

    FoM hated Carina of Time. Never found that bow...no, FoM never even got past Forest Temple. And thanks for setting us all straight Ex. Gand appreciates it ;)

    I'm down to about 0 hours/week, but that follows a few months of upwards of 20. And when I got KOTOR (I was late to the party and only got XBox this part Christmas), it was probably upwards of 30.

    Amazing.

    I just picked up five new games and dusted off a game I've owned for years that I never played for some reason....so I'm up to about 50+ hours a week now. Just yesterday I played all day from about noon till 1am, good times.

    Depends on if I'm in a gaming mood. Don't have many games(KOTOR, Battefront, Call of Duty, Starcraft...that's about it), so I'd say maybe 5-6 hours a week. Sometimes more, if I'm in a heavy gaming mood. Then I can hit 20 easily. ;)
