I think games are a double edged sword. I have found them to be quite helpful in terms of presenting certain catalyses that wouldn't normally be presented 'in real life'. These are almost exclusively in story driven RPGs, however. I have noticed that they cease to be useful once the catalyst has been digsted.
So, in short, I find certain games helpful in the awakening process and occasionally after being awakened in lieu of 'real life' catalyst which would most likely be much more harsh. However, once the lesson has been learned, it only serves to distract and provides an 'escape' similar to drugs or alcohol.
Admittedly, I still partake in competitive games with little or no valuable catalyst on a daily basis to try to escape the near constant catalyses of 3D Terra. I try to offset this by listening to changelings at the same time. I also attempt to balance this with digestion of sufficient useful catalyst and meditation, the goal being weening myself off such useless activities entirely at some point. I am at least aware of my vices and don't try to deny their nature.
Marijuana has been extremely similar in nature to games and TV shows for me. As a tool for impetus for seeking, I have found it the most helpful of all. However, at this point in my journey, it is merely a crutch as it only helps me seek further which I can do on my own.
