Don't forget the stress relief video games can give. Society managed to make even sheltered 1st world lives stressful thanks to unrealistic expectations imposed on a personal and professional level. We're all apes though, despite all that's expected of us. And these apes love to wonder about their world and explore its every corner. Video games satiate this desire somewhat - and that will do, on a fucking Monday night after a long, frustrating day at work.
Some games can be really stressful though - real time strategy games for my part. But I prefer games that are more explorative and adventourus, like RPGs.
Hah! Real time strategy. Try playing Dead Space without stressing out. Constant deficit of ammo and horrifying monsters ready to jump out at you when you think it's safe.
