I see absolutely nothing wrong if a person 'wastes' time playing video games. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the important things in life: job, family, etc. I consider myself a fairly lazy person! But I also run 80-100 miles a week and work about 35 hours a week. So when I'm being lazy I like to watch movies, sports or in my case play fantasy sports (gambling). I also like to go out and eat and drink beer! Everyone uses THEIR free time in different ways. My wife doesn't allow me to have video games, and I know I don't need them because these other 'wasteful' activities occupy my time enough already. But between the ages of 15-27 I played alot of video games, and today I'm a normal person. I'm 36, have a good job, beautiful wife, and can run a 2:30 marathon. So please get over it. I sure do miss video games!! Especially Tecmo Bowl and Madden!! Anything sports related, but can't even understand them anymore :) Oh, and remember the old days? Pacman, Pole Postion, Zelda, and of course Mario Brothers!
