I really understand your mind watching trough the game (I do the same), but... its hard for me to imagine a Buddhist monk who is playing a video game. Anyway, i don't think we can found our awakening in this game, but its a pleasure to meet someone like you there ;)

I don't have any delusions about this game being an aid to enlightenment. This is another hindrance I will have to give up. All in due time though.
I gave up my car because I found it was more suffering to keep it than to give it away.
I gave up my XBox because it was consuming too much of my time.
I gave up doing drugs because I found I my happiness was impermanent because it was dependent on a substance.
I gave up having a girlfriend because it was more suffering to worry about another person's happiness when its hard enough to maintain my own.
I play this game in spare time. When I find it is too much of a hindrance to my happiness I will let it go in exchange for a greater happiness.
The Buddha's path is a gradual path with a sudden drop-off. Like the ground of the ocean. No reason to rush to the sudden drop-off if you are not ready.
I have had many opportunities to teach about meditation while playing. There is still good coming from this activity.
See you around friends.

Welcome p0int.
Seems that we have a lot to talk about.
Remember, that search for/to enlightenment will only end the day you die.
Since you are interested, I would strongly recommend you vipassana its a meditation course guided by the teachings of Sri Satya Narayan Goenka.(at least the one i did)
They do this around the world every year in many countries, also this courses are free of course.
Google it or pm me if you want to know more.
