It never occurred to me that that line could be about video games (I’m more inclined to believe he was talking about masturbation). I can see why people might think video games, but video games don’t seem to be the point of the song… just loneliness. And with loneliness comes… yeah. Oh, I guess lonely people play video games too. Still.

Well, I walked out of work
And I was tired as hell
Another day’s come and gone and oh well
Somewhere there’s a drink with my name on it

Well, I ordered a Scotch as I bust through them doors
Spilled half on my jeans
The other half on the floor
When I saw you standing by that video game

Well, I ain’t very good
But I get practice by myself
Forgot my one line
So I just said what I felt

If only you were lonely,
If only you was lonely too,
If only you was lonely
I’d go home with you

Twenty push-ups this morning, that was half my goal
Tonight I’ll be doin’ pull-ups
On the toliet bowl
And somewhere somebody’s throwin up

Well, I broke the seal on my door
And I poured myself to bed
The whirlpool spinning around in my head
Around in my head
There was liquor on my breath
And you were on my mind

And I’ll be dreamin of that smile
Without a care in the world
If only you were lonely,
If only you was lonely too,
If only you was lonely

I walked out of the kitchen
I was tired as hell
Another day’s here and oh well
Somewhere there’s a smile with my name on it.

Of course the right one, is masturbation (I would insert the sarcasm icon here if there was one).

I admit it. I am the one lingering “video games” voter. I guess I’m just dense – or innocent. One of the two.

I am firmly in the masturbation […]

Everyone knows the line is about a little self love, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
