Hmmmmmmm......... Not enough information. But I'll hazard a thought or three. Video games: perhaps you have been/are "obsessed" with them, while at the same time feeling "guilty" that they drive you so. I know that I (with OCD) will fixate on certain things for awhile, then feel "guilty" about doing them. Then I work on stopping that thing, and replacing with something more "healthy". My latest vice was eBay. I was just pissing away money on "stuff" that I really did not need. Although I have been a collector of stuff for almost 35 years, there are better things I need to do with my money. These "things we do" such as binge eating, gambling, shopping excessively etc....are just diversions to keep up from thinking about our "problems". Even these ot similar boards can be a way of diversion. You did not mention if you were/are seeing a counselor or if you are medicated or self-medicating. These things would be helpful to know for any of us to proffer any salient assistance to you. So, open up and spew forward young man! Let us share what's up with you.
