Games and stories can be helpful, though it depends how much you get from the story/game. Too much isn't a good thing. There is a fine line between reality and fantasy. Not saying you don't realize that.
Inferno... I realize what you mean by the Big Brother thing and helping others with hard times and finding "faith" within themselves. I myself haven't had much trouble with life. I can't tell dramatic and painful stories about such hard time I have been through, and being hurt. However I have a long life ahead of me. Though I do have problems, it's a given. I enjoy helping others, but I find it gets harder and harder to find someone my age who will listen and be mature. It is hard to find those who learn from what they hear instead of being ignorant and not considering words that are wise. (Not that I'm the wisest). So I can "relate" to your experiences with helping others.
Mana. I however can't relate to your problems and experiences. All I know is people today don't listen to who they claim to be their friends. Some do, sure. But most can't understand how it feels, or just sit for a moment and give some sympathy, understand and help. To explain that everything will turn out ok, that stuff happens, or to just listen. I hope that you find someone, friend or family, to trust and talk to that will listen and share problems, in which you should never lose faith in. (I hope I don't sound... I don’t know too personal or something. Just reassuring and understanding.)
Sasquatch: Platoon in combat? I don't know if you mean that you’re in the military, play online games, or are just using an old saying. (Or something else.) Just curious as to what you mean... I have met a few people who believe faith is just a crutch, as you said. Which seems odd they believe this. Normally this is what they believe because someone they once had faith in or loved has hurt them. Or they think god had wronged them by taking away a loved one or friend. Or just haven't had enough teaching and proof that faith is something more. We all need it and whether we know it, somehow we all have it. Faith in god or faith the knowledge that we will all die. Trusting that they won't suddenly have immortality...
