Disagree. Even if you play mario brothers alone, when you're in school, you can talk to other kids about playing mario brothers. It was _normal_ to do this when I was a kid; when i met someone new, the first thing that I always asked what "Do you have a computer? Do you play games on it?" I made many friends this way.
