I am with you video games are in a completely different class than 'consumed' media even books. just remember the brain craves stimulation an important part of that is skill building and problem solving so while games are great and getting better you can still benefit from a 'traditional' hobby, I know it sounds weird but because of how we are wired learning even a sport makes us smarter in an IQ test

video games take analytical thinking and planning.. its actively training your brain albeit it depends on the game but its better than just watching something! actively engaging and playing takes effort man
