I think it also depends on what part of the world you're job hunting, and to what company you're applying.

There are a lot of places in the U.S. where you could mention your college sports affiliation and that would be enough to get you in the door, or you could spend your interview discussing NASCAR as a way of connecting with the interviewees. Those aren't the sort of places where you'd want to mention that you play WoW, even though they may spend a lot more time on their hobby than you do. The stigma of the 'nerdy activity' still reins supreme in a lot of locales.
