You know, I have been wondering that for a while now. I just have this horrible creeping feeling that I am wasting my life... I play games to escape reality and avoid stress mostly. Some games I really enjoy playing such as geometry wars (I am thinking BK nuts and bolts and BK arcade will be 2 more) but a lot of games just feel like a waste now that I am learning to manage my stress effectively. I turn on oblivion and all I can think about is productive better things I could be doing.... starting to happen to this site as well. I just bought a 360 so I won't quit gaming, but may be I'll quit the site... dunno :(
edit- I also love playing gmaes with others and talking about gaming with others... though I am finding that talking about gaming isn't the best way to connect with alot of people... I suspect many people watch sports so they can connect with others? Sports are soooo boring, but its a great excuse to talk :D
