Sounds like a good plan you should definitely do!
Gaming has def helped me creatively. It was probably do to games that I got into drawing. As a kid, I transitioned from Sonic, to Ristar, to Kirby, and then took off to other drawing related things after that, but games are likely what got me on that path. I may have not become a drawer if it wasn't for games.
Also, it really helped me connect to a lot of people when I started college. I has to leave my home and friends, and start over again. I met a lot of guys who liked games and Smash, and we played every night to the point we had a GC and later Wii on at all times with smash in it. It def helped me connect to a lot of people.
Hope those stories help.
Dance my pretties!
