Okay technically true. I guess I should have said playing guitar or something less physical.
I think balance is key like you're saying and a large majority of people here have that. I read about family life, love life, interests in sports, politics, religion, TV, social issues, music, and so many other aspects people here have with their own lives. I hate that video games gets all the criticism and condemnation as a scapegoat for time wasting when it factors way beyond that. Condemning all video games and telling us all to give them up doesn't address the imaginary issue and that is what bugs me about op.

I find politics, investing energies in social issues now to be a big waste of time ;---p im not a family person either, and never will be ;--p. See there, one mans percieved rightful path, is anothers demise...
Politics is ripe with anger, criticism, violent intentions, manipulation and monetary interests... It was fun to be into it for a while, now im trying to distance myself as much as possible because it just gives me the yuck.

Haha, I see where you're coming from. :P
My point is the OP makes it seem like there's a video game addiction problem here, but an addiction means that you can't live/function without it. I see many people here with different interests, responsibilities, and things they do that they can easily move on to if video games suddenly disappeared. It's not life-interfering, it's just an aspect of our lives and we shouldn't be criticized for it.
