How many hours per week do you spend with games?

We need to find a way make work as interesting as a videogames... hmmm, any ideas?

How about you become a play tester or a maker for video games?

I'm not healthy, haven't been for 11 years, homebound, stuck on the couch most of the time. My kids are grown and gone, my husband works a fair bit of overtime, and games keep me occupied. Through them and my avatars, I walk through the woods, swim, garden, shop, socialize, save the world. What game I play at a given time depends on how I feel a particular day; it's not good to join a dungeon group in WoW when brainfog makes it hard to remember which class I'm playing, much less how to play it, and Sims 2 is tedious when my brain is clear. Sims 2 is the only non RPG game I play, btw.
So, usually it's 6-8 hours daily, but can easily top 12. A weeks' gaming = 50 hours at least.

I usually play less than 5 hours because after 1 hour or 2 my eyes start to hurt or I start getting agitated at it because I’m stuck on a complicated part of the game.

Wow, you resurrected a 7 year old thread!
It is a worthwhile topic though.
I play blitz chess a lot. I think on chess.com I am over 20,000 games.
However it is less than 10 hours / day.
I don't view games as harmful unless they are graphically and realisticly violent... surely there are worse ways to spend time. I find gameplay fun.
Time to go play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
