All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
I am 45, play video games, watch TV (its all lame), and everyone in the office knows it - because they do too.
I don't know if its still the case, but a decade or so ago, recruiters used to lament the lack of "well rounded" applicants in tech. People who only do tech often have trouble communicating with their peers in other parts of the business, and therefore are less productive then their skills would otherwise imply.
Other interests, be they practical or impractical, are valuable.
