You are fundamentally wrong. Logically, the lack of positive does not equal negative. It just equals nothing. And once again, video games are in no way worse or different than any other hobby, and hobbies in general are quite important to the mental health and general well roundedness of an individual. 

As for suicide, I was just saying that if I was to give up all of my hobbies and all of my time and all of my money, I would probably be a horrible mess of a person who hated their life.

I don't see any problem with someone living for themself, and if that is what you are trying to speak against, then you are doing it in the wrong place and with the wrong target. You have yet to give a valid reason for why you singled out video games...

Not only are you a sellout, but you're also a liar. Such a shame.

Religion is a waste of time.  Video games helped get me my current on and off girl of 7 or so years.  I invited her over and played Wii Sports with her and eventually we hit it off.  I don't see Jesus getting me laid nor would I dare step foot in church again considering it is so boring and a waste of time.  I don't care if there are hot girls there because I'll either see them outside a church or not.

The lack of a positive doesn't necessarily equal a negative, but in this case, it does. Imagine someone steals something - Will the lack of putting them in Prison do nothing, or will it negatively affect other people? It will negatively affect other people.

There's better ways to improve your mental state and goodness than hobbies. Less expensive things also.

But the same thing applies to what I said about suicide - You don't even have to be depressed without unnecessary hobbies, you could get to the root of the problem if something like that happens.

Living for yourself is not bad, but the problem is in living primarily for yourself, or only for yourself. I,e., choosing to spend time and money on your own entertainment or amusement rather than using more of that time to help others.

This is a matter of subjective opinion. You might think playing video games and discussing consoles is a waste of time but you are not masters of our lives. We choose what we want to do with our time in the world and even though you might not like it, we possibly do. For example, I play video games a lot. And it wasn't a waste of time. I learned English faster than high school could teach it to me, I learned geography playing Paradox games, I got interested in history and the ALLMIGHTY HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE through playing Assassin's Creed. I don't consider that a waste of time.

Instead of playing games and arguing, what are we supposed to do instead?

And yes, I'm new here.

Fascinating argument?

You are full of so much hot air good sir, I honestly cannot fathom your selfishness. Who are you to tell anyone how to live their life, and yet you tell me that your sole ideology is the truth. Bullshit, I say. I am living in the way that I am living in order to live my life as I so choose. I have chosen this life and the present me is a summation of my genetics and experiences which have led me into the choice of living the life I lead. Who are you to say that this me is not ideal, especially when that ideal is a construct invented by you. Who are you to tell me that I shouldn't be the person that I am in order to be closer to what you think is ideal? Who are you to tell me that the time I spend enriching myself through my hobbies is wasted time? You do not hold dominion over anyone but yourself, and you should think long and hard about where these viewpoints stem from, because they do not come from any form of logic. You are simply holding some ideal above all else and mistakenly thinking that it is a definite truth.

There is no definite purpose to my life. I personally define where I desire to head and I will get there how I so choose. Until you show me a definite purpose, you cannot claim that my time is wasted.

But if they live longer they'll just waste more time, so they're better off dead.
