I think it's alright to play video games. I don't think you should be playing it all the time though. If you really got nothing to do, my as well play for an hour or two but then chill out and hangout with your friends. If your friends are addicted to games then you should try to do other things like play basketball or some other form of entertainment. I've been addicted before but I got a girlfriend now and my social life is now better because i stopped and focused on school and my social life more. Almost every guy plays games, but don't make it habit. Make it like television when you want to relax or something. Get some sleep and do sports, that really makes your life alot better.
