In times past, I have lost many a day to the vagaries of computer gaming... Diablo 2 being the prime candidate for leaving me tired and irritable, but strangely satisfied...
I agree with all of Marcs points, especially those about social gaming... Although I have had a few very enjoyable evenings just watching other people play and encouraging them.
Like Sam, I use gaming as "play" and a way to relax but stay stimulated... I greatly enjoy the dynamics of playing a good game.
For me too, MMORPGS seem appealing, but the possibility of spending too much time on them keeps me away... I have dabbled, but never very seriously, and never been as into them as I thought I would...
I'd rather spend my time sketching...
