Usually one or two hours and on some days, depending on how busy I am.

Not as much as I did before, that's for sure.
University keeps me busy.

Still, I can probably manage five or eight hours a day in the weekends.

4 to 15 hours a day, depending on how bored I am versus how interested in the game I am.

Average about an hour each day, more on weekends....
I try to set aside at least one day a week to play more if possible...
But work and other duties have a way of cutting into this time...

Anywhere from nine to sixteen hours, depending on how much work I have to do.

I go to a school where I am taught how to apply art and philosophy to daily activities. Hence I game about 18 hours per day.

I game, therefore I am.

In practice though it turns our more like; I want to be someone else, therefore I game.

Edit: oh, and incase anyone wonders, didn't you used to study English Literature?

Not any longer.

Nowhere near the amount I used to. Reasons are too many other things I have going on and a lack of games that have come out recently that I can generate much interest in. I basically spend all the time I used to spend gaming with research projects. And the occasional trip to the bar.

I've undergone some drastic changes in my game playing time!

About 3 years ago I used to play 5:34 hours per day average.
About 2 years ago I used to play 4:54 hours per day average.
About 1 year ago I used to play 3:29 hours per day average.
About 6 months ago I used to play 3:59 hours per day average.
Now I play 5:34 hours per day average.

So, I'm basically back where I started.

It must have been about 3 months since I've last played a game so right now it's zero. However, I used to average approximately 3 hours a day, with this number invariably rising during holidays and weekend. I do waste more than a few hours doing other stuff nowadays - like posting on forums, reading webcomics, random surfing etc.
