I play games. Probably more often than I should, and definitely more often than I would like. They are an easy absorbing activity with definite immediate rewards. They're designed to be that way and I think I've set myself up so that they make me feel, at the moment I am playing them, as if I am accomplishing something. However, when I'm done playing the game I always feel slightly empty.
I have noticed a difference when playing online games though. Like when I join up with a group of people then at least we all experienced something together.
