How long do you play at one sitting?

usually a couple hours , but it can be less or more

That varies considerably. Usually up to 2 hours per sitting, but when i started to build a new city/region it can also be as much as 5 to 6 hours.

I don't play for long whiles, I get into game, build for a few minutes, and then find that I need this or that civic building relotted to fit into my cities...

Maximum 6hours per week

I used to playing for over 5 hours, but now less than 1 hour per day, and maybe only every second day, I am still love SC4, but I am into BATting more, I find it more amusing as I am a fan of architecture. My projects for SC4 are still going though, I have a CJ at ST (not updated very often though...

)... hehe.

Haven't been playing much. Sometimes I stay up late because of this though, but it's becoming less frequent. Been juggling my love for playing SC4 with WiC and making short movies (Wow, I've officially got a hobby other than playing games

)

To be conservative, I can play 10 hours a week (5 hours on Friday, 5 hours on Saturday) assuming I'm playing on and off and on again. When I suddenly get hooked, I can play 20 hours a week (10 hours on Friday and Saturday) and if ever, 2 hours on Sunday possibly 1-4 hours on Monday-Thursday. With that, I play 10-26 hours a week.

Usually, 30-45 minutes, exit game, lot building/s, return to game, plop building/s. Then, another 15 minutes. Exit game, lot building/s. Repeat process.

Makes sense.

its exactly the same for me

but there was also a time while i was normaly playing the game and this took me often 20-30 hours with a huge playlist in winamp and 12 hours sleepin after the little session.
there were a few years i had absolutly no night and day rithm.

sitting on LE i cant do that because after a normal day iam not able to do anything. then i better go sleeping and be more productive the next day

spend about half an hour browsing sites for downloads, an hour at the forums, then about an hour actually playing.

The forums I do at the office on quiet moments and during lunch break. Like now.
At home, I play on monday evening. I bring my daughter to bed: half past seven (she's four years old). My wife works this evening. I play from 7.30 untill about 10.30-11.00 pm.
This includes LE, terraforming, citybuilding.
Sometimes I have another evening or one or two left-over-hours.

Sometimes I am working on an LE project, sometimes I terraform a new region. Too little time remains for actual gameplay. I am still not good at it and just build more or less at random. But I have fun, and that's the whole point. Isn't it?
