At the moment it's 7-10 (I'm ill and house-bound). Usually I'd say around 4-5 (if I'm at home).

Oh, I don't know. 7-10, probably. Less on days when I go out, of course.

Spend or spend playing? All the time I spend on the computer (which I assume is the question) would average out to more than ten hours--all my stuff is on here. "Playing", maybe half an hour.

If you use your computer for games it doesn't necessarily have to mean that we do. I spend about 5-7 hours on computer (circling around the Internet, doing something with Game Maker, listening to music), but most of the days I play no games at all. In days when I do, it's N or TrackMania Nations Forever, and it's never more than half an hour.

Never enough, for me.
5-7. Changes to 3-5, depends of what I'm doing at the moment.
And gaming, not really, if you don't accept "playing" as highscoring.
Otherwise, 10-12?

Depends on the day. On my days off when I have absolutely nothing else to do, I can swing upwards of 12, but most days, it's closer to 2-3, due to work, school, and social lives.

1-2 hours, about 1/5 of which is used for gaming. The only video game I even play is N.

One to three hours a day. In my home I'm restricted to one hour. Other times it gets bigger to three. But one time, in 2007, I played up to six hours.

Too many. At least 5 or 6, and that's not counting school. (We have a laptop program, so we use computers in a lot of our classes.)

Games, though, only take up some of that time. Maybe an hour plus at most.

Around 5 or 6. I juggle my time between I-Am-Bored, Cracked, the forums, and random other things I find distracting enough to keep me from actually doing any work. Rarely do I play games, and when I do it's only Sim City 4.

After reading this I'm quite amazed at how long some of you spend on the computer. Before I switched to broadband last year in May, I was stuck with this extremely cheap but slow 15-hours-a-month dial-up contract, which comes to 0.5 hours a day. When I got broadband, this increased to about 1 hour. Now, however, I have become a lot lazier, and I tend to use it for about 1 hour per day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Mondays, Fridays and Wednesdays; 3 hours per day on weekends; and an average of slightly over 2 hours per day during the holidays.
Achievements:

Completed N and NReality.
106 N v1.4 highscores.
I used to maintain 1000 NReality Level Top20 Highscores - Ranked 0th
Former Owner of Episode 169, way back when.
I've taken 10 Metanet 0ths. 6 of them lasted <2 days. I don't have any of them anymore. >:(
Third Place in BLUR 4 highscore.
Not highscoring anymore until v2.

I get on from the time I get up, which is usually around 8 A.M. to 1 P.M., and I get off at between 3 A.M. and 6 A.M. So, that adds up to around... 14 - 22 hours. Or something like that. I just sat here for 5 minutes trying to figure it out, which is sad. I think I win the "Laziest Bastard Ever" award.

I don't spend any time on the computer. I'm afraid I'd break it if I tried that.

I do, however, spend about five hours a day using the computer, mostly late at night.

Too many













How long do I spend NOT on the computer?
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

3-5, but more when possible. School takes a lot of time out of my day.

On a weekday, when I'm at university, I'll spend around three to five hours on the computer. However, when I'm at home for the day, I can easily spend over ten hours wasting time.

Well, I take online school, so that's about 3-4 hours a day on that. I'll also spend, on average, maybe an hour and a half on n, and then a lot more time on irc. I'd actually say about 10-15 hours on a non-music day, if you count school ._.

Usually it's between 2 and 5, when I've got my xbox 360 too. Recently, it's been getting fixed, so that's now between 4 and 10. I don't think I can really pin it on a single reliable value. Now, since it's back up and running, plus exams, I'd expect between 2 and 3 hours. I'd hope for that amount, anyways. I waste time way too easily -_-
