Video games are an effective mechanism of achieving the flow state.

Beware though.
Your drive does not differentiate between the little game and the Big Game.
But your body does.
When you fail to grow stronger after your 'experience' fantastic feats.
When you fail to grow wiser when you've made complex choices.
When you die ten thousand times without enlightenment.
When you collect a lifetime of treasure...but you are empty.
It is because you do not reap the fruits of your labor, you render them unto HIM.
Moloch is Ten Thousand Robber Barons! An Automated Master!
The Game is His, and your endless labors within it are His as well.
When in the past Canaanites fed their children to a great machine, the children of God were horrified.
When we feed our potential to the Machine, we are comfortable at last.
