Possibly. I measure my gaming intake, since i turned 18 i've kept it to an hour a day max, unless i'm really on a groove for something (Monster Hunter Tri/U could get me going far along, for instance), while going online and talking about games rapidly became a compulsion after i started frequenting Joystiq in the summer of 2006. In terms of hours spent since 2006, talking about games would handily come far ahead of actually playing them, due to my relative self-control in wanting to finish games at a decent pace (good for quicker games, as then they last longer).
The games are more fun pound-for-pound, for certain, but i play less of them by far.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
