Just thought of a few more reasons to love gaming.

You can expand (not replace) your social circle and meet interesting people all over, much like you would on a forum. But these people share a passion for your favorite game and that instantly gives you something in common to talk about.

Also, gaming makes you feel good. It's not like constant TV watching which can be a drain.
