I'm right there with you on your other hobbies, but I do enjoy video games and don't comprehend your reasons here. You sound like you have an axe to grind with video games. Video games are anti-social. Video games aren't cultural. Come on. 1) Okay. So how does pool or Sudoku teach you something? I don't get this movies-to-games comparison. Apples and oranges. Games are not meant to be vehicles for artistic expression. 2) I find video games to be very social, actually. If it weren't for Xbox Live, I wouldn't interact with my old friends much except for when we all vacation back home for the holidays. Beyond that I find it very easy to talk about games with others. If you enjoy anything enough, you'll be able to have a discussion about it. 3) Fair enough.
