I know, I was addicted to Call Of Duty for a good year or two of my life. I failed out of college because of my addiction.

Those were cool games. I finished most of them when I was running my computer shop.
Anyway, I agree man. As I grew older I found myself distancing from "purely for entertainment purposes" stuff, unless it's "F*ck you, i'll do whatever the hell I want I'm RELAXING" time. (Similar to MJ's F*ck you money).
Here's something I realized : It's none of my business how other people run their lives. And that I'd love them to observe the same principle when dealing with me. I would love it for everyone to be this way. We're not baby kids anymore. We know what to do. And yet some people... Uh, I won't even go there.
It's none of my business how people spend their time. Wether they play video games or sit in a cubicle for decades.
Video games and TV are there for a purpose. They're for entertainment and relaxation. Typing this doesn't mean that I spend countless hours watching TV or play video games. I don't.
My point is : It's their life. They're totally entitled to it. We are being biased here because it's true that we KNOW BETTER now. (It's sort of a self-reinforcing thing.)
And they don't know any better. There are many ways to help them. But first, we must help ourselves. (We'd love for everyone to do that too right)
Any time of day you can choose to do what you want. Stand up and walk away from your job, play pokemon all day, eat whatever you like and binge on alcohol, gamble, read, lurk on a forum, work out, procrastinate, concentrate, etc. whatever
Just make sure that you'll take responsibility for whatever happens. Not many of us do that. So, it's a global challenge.
