Hahaha, I was a "16 year old teen in angst" when I first made the informed decision to move to EB, and have never looked back since...
:P
About the "dead brains", I can sort of make out what you're saying though. Of recent years, at least, the game market has been seemingly pandering more to actiony, fast-paced games with a huge emphasis on multiplayer - for example, the dominance of the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises.
Go back about ten years however, there were so many more story-driven games with long campaigns and also a greater cut in the market for the RTS genre (i.e. the popularity of the TW + Age of Empires series back then). Back in those days, you actually had to think about what you were playing a lot more!
It's sad times have changed...
