Well not for me. I have quite a hard time keeping by eyes from hurting after staring at a computer screen all day. Thank god for paper.

Reading is definitely different than playing video games.

I personally take frequent eye ball breaks from writing code. Video games, however, don't seem to bother me for twice, if not three times as long. I can't go two hours reading without a break, but I can easily kill an entire sick day playing a video game.
