I do them, too. My library has a fairly good collection of audiobooks. Admittedly, it's more that I do them while making lunch or eating dinner than while playing videogames in my case.
While driving, while walking, while gaming, while working... Basically any time my hands and eyes are occupied with something that allows me to break of a bit of attention to something else, I'm listening to audio books. Typically I listen at 1.5x-2.0x speed as well (most of the readers read soooooo fucking slow) so I really burn through them. Between audio and ebooks, I can easily get through 200 titles in a year and I've had periods, sometimes quite extended, where I was getting in two audio books/day while still reading 2-3 ebooks each week. My current job is keeping me on pace for only about 150 books and it's killing me. Damn it, I want, no, I need, to know what happens next! Next page, next book, next series, next author... I'm probably more than a little OCD about reading, but it's also the one pleasure I've always had, no matter what else was going on in life. I even have eleven different library cards to all the libraries around the Denver area just to feed my fix. It's also why all three of my user names have been book references.
