Bad or good? Do they make you dumb or do they promote other types of thinking? Do MMO's (which have an economy) promote economic thought? Is it possible to be addicted and have a girlfriend/social life?

We're under that stereotype that people who are addicted to such games become those without a social life. Most of the time, that's actually true, but maybe only in the case of major addiction. On the other hand, video games now and then isn't going to have a substantial effect on the rest of your future - if you know how to limit yourself. It's the exact same idea with television, computers, heck, nearly all types of technology. It's just a matter of self control, and how well you're able to balance between the e-world and the rest of your life.
