No need to tell me -- gaming is how I socialize with guys -- instead of watching the game or playing poker or whatever, I do board games.
And I agree, it's better to board game in person, but board gaming by computer is better than not gaming at all. It can also be a venue for playing with more players than you can ever realistically get together around a table. I have no idea what age you are, but when I was in college, we could easily get 7 players for all day/night Advanced Civ (before the computer game even came out, heh). Now, it's completely impossible.
You can also play games that take far longer than people have (at my age, anyway).
