It depends. On average like 20 hours a week. But if I am into a game I can play like 40 hours a week.
Yes! I played literally all day once.
No, I would rather hang out with my friends.
I am a big gamer but I exercise a lot. I am in good shape. But I play video games A LOT. You just have to make time for things.
