Hmm...an interesting study.   Obviously folks who are married/with kids/or both will decrease all available gaming time by at least 90%.   Or something.

Ok OK  this is a shameless poll, the whole purpose is to vault me over the 666 mark in posts.  :)

UMM...how about whenever I get a chance ! :D
Actually I play console games around the night(adventures) and fighters any other time when someone is over.
Kinda boring playing fighters alone... :P

Usually when I get home from work, I fire up the machine and go for something quick and mindless, some shooters or something. After about 10 or 11 whenthe house settles down is when I do most of my work on the box, or playing, finding new games

Hummm. Yah I never played substance, but the main story is really short. Good game though. Lots of fun.

IMO the first one was better. The second one requires alot less stealth.

Anyway back to the times of day.
Right now I can't play my arcade anytime of the day, cause it's not done.  :'(

I play my cab between about 10pm when I go to sleep and 7.30am when I wake up.

In other words in my dreams coz it's standing in my garage with no monitor and no guts! BOOHOO!

I used to play mine at any random time. No schedule at all. Of course, right now I'm in the middle of an upgrade and I ran out of money so I'm not playing jack.

You would sleep a lot to if the only place you could play your cab was in your dreams lol.
I usually go to sleep about 10pm or 11pm I guess. I might be getting less sleep now that my second cab finally arrived for me to start work on. And it is a working cab this time not like the other one, pity the only PCB I have is Bomberman. That game is so retarded lol.

Well if you lived in New Zealand then maybe...
Thanks for the offer I'll probably stick with Bomberman ( it's kinda cool and I think 4 players can play??? ) The guy I got the cab off has a box of old boards he's going to test and offer me so I might get something decent, maybe there is a Galaga or a Pacman hiding in there somewhere lol j/k.
If he sells me the whole box I'll offer the boards on here in a couple of weeks ( I think he's got about 20 or 30 gathering dust, could be a little goldmine ya never know, DigDug anyone? ).
