Video games are as scholarly as you make them.
Something like playing CS 24 hours a day may not be scholarly, but games like Command and conquer, Super Mario, Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Diablo, SimCity, Even Doom/Quake type FPS's can really influence the way someone views the world. The trick to selling video games to old farts at princeton is to focus on the gamers who play only a dozen or so hours a week, who have devoted their life to something else and use videogames as a side show.
I know for a fact that had I not invested so much of my teen years to playing video games, I never ever would be where I am today. I won't say what I do, or why my life is alright, suffice to say that video games have played a very important part in my being successful in my non-related career.
