How much time do you guys spend playing games weekly? Around what age bracket are you in? Does you're SO mind(if applicable).

I'm asking because I used to play Xbox around 30 hours a week while being in school full time and having a part time job. I play about 14 now and am currently unemployed and the girlfiend is still says that I play to much...THE frick.

The girlfriend will always say you play too much. I'm 27, married, and get about 5 hours a week if I'm not busy. If I'm busy I'm lucky to play at all, haven't played in 2 weeks...

27 married but thank the fricking gods my wife works at night 3–4 days a week. Perfect amount of gaming.

So on average about 15–25 hours

I average around 15- 20 hours a week. I'm 27 married and work around 50 hours a week these days. The wife doesn't care how much I play.

It's hard for me to say because every week is different. I'd say on my busy weeks it's probably like 7-10 hours. On a week when I have more freedom, like this week for instance, I've played probably 4-5 hours a day. The SO never complains because that's part of the freedom I'm alluding to. Gaming is a hobby, albeit one I enjoy, and I only do it when it doesn't impair my ability to take care of other responsibilities. If it was up to me, though, I'd get at least 2-3 hours a day

I'm 29, married, and like taylork's wife I work 3-4 days a week. When I'm off on weekdays, I can usually play a few hours if I choose to since the wife is at work. Otherwise no more than 1.5 hours/day at best. And since my shifts are so long, usually none on my work days.

If everything that needs to be taken care of is taken care of and I'm "bored" I'd rather play a Xbox for a bit instead of watching her panic about trivial things she will not accept my opinion on anyway /rant

May as well be , I'm glad I now know what I've gotten myself into. Now I will just play and have no fricks to give.

Slightly funny story:
She is always late for EVERYTHING, except job interviews and school. If we're going to the dog park she will do a shite ton of random stuff, about 30 min worth, and I'm stuck waiting on her the entire time. While she is doing these trivial things if she hears the "BEEP" of the Xbox I immediately hear, "what are you doing, COME ON LET'S GO!"

It really varies. Play at least 10, but generally no more than 25. I'm married and my wife tends to read a book while sitting on the couch next to me.
