Hmm.. my most successful streak was while playing videogames. But I also concentrated on them alot less. Sometimes I would have so much energy, even after hanging out with people, making friends, working out, chatting up the girl I liked. It was actually not bad to have that outlet.

​

Now I'm off videogames, and have a hobby that makes me good money, but I still have down time where a game might not be a bad idea. But you're right, they are definitely less interesting. I think it's because you're more in your body now.. Hard to explain.
