See, you yourself say that you are an ascetic! And an ascetic cannot see life in its full range of pleasures (although this is IMHO and depends on one's worldview). Well, you can get quite a lot of enjoyment from games, the main thing is that they don't interfere with life. By the way, I almost don't play now, not because it's bad, but because I don't see many interesting games, except perhaps Civilization 4.
