well, i think my friends are such like geeks, not nerds, geeks, videogames geeks, they just pass all the day playing vgs, and talking about it, it looks like they don't have a life, but i don't play videogames all day long, or even talk about them too much, that's why we haven't communication (important in a friendship) because we don't understand each other, i feel that i wanna participate + in our friendship, but this cycle don't closes up, i don't wanna find other friends, and less i don't want 2 join them playin videogames, they r traumatized, what 2 do? how 2 close this cycle?

You are in a catch 22 situation.
You want change but are not prepared to change anything.
Your friends are dedicated to their games, you are not.
You do not want to find new friends so stalemate.
Why would you wish to stay with friends that share no common interest?
If you have a solitary interest do you need others?
Is it possible to share your interests with others?
Only you can change this situation, by:
1. accepting that you and your old friendships are history (unless you start liking games)
2. you accept that your interests do not need others, and go it alone.
3. you are prepared to find new friends that share your interests (or find new interests).
You ll notice that 'YOU' comes up a lot, that's because nobody else can fix this problem.
(But I suspect you knew that already)

honestly, you guys aren't seeing eye-to-eye. it's hard to admit when friends you care about, and basically consider family, just don't connect like you used too. you miss that old bond, but you need to find friends that are more your style. doesn't mean you have to stop being their friend, but just spend less time with them, and find other friends. try bringing your new friends around them and seeing if you can get them to do soemthing different. suggest to them (find new friends also, this is after) that you guys have a "man" night. unless you are a girl, then a "women night", then you guys do whatever. play poker, go see a movie, go out to eat. anything that you guys do together. little things to keep the bond strong, but that bond you guys once had, just isn't there anymore. sorry.

easy step 1 . talk to your friends tell them to hang out with you or get some rsvp at some place so you invite some friends
2 . if your friends are still in video games go to the mall , any activity places and start talking and they will get to you .
3. if you go to church ask your parents if you can go to some youth groups because thats were lots of people are there for meet new friends talk about whats going on.

well get them to try and do stuff you like to do or try new things for both of you, do sumthin outside like snowboardin and stuff tht keeps you busy and dnt keep talkin about thigns not related to video games,
come up with really dumb things that might only last a day but they r wicked fun (me and my friend made a robot suit out of cardboard boxes adn we just ride around the neighborhood and look at the wiked funny faces people give you, and we do dumb stuff like tht)
or you can just find new kids that like things you do (much easier said then done)

Tell them about a new study that came out showing that people who are addicted to videogames later on in life become hardcore homosexuals

well you dont need to give up your friends just because you dont play/ talk video games as much as them... obviously you like to hang out with them but that doesnt mean you have to devote all of you time to them. Befriend others who have similar interest as you... accumulate a diverse circle of friends, and maybe when that happens you can bring new ideas and topics to every circle of friends. keep you options open.

Find better friends b/c it seems they are too busy playing games to even notice you as a friend.

Time for you to find some friends who are like yourself. Get involved with something you ARE interested in and you'll find other people like yourself. And if you're not interested in anything you can't really expect to find friends.
