>Hey, what's up?
>How's it going?

If you know of anything going on in their life, ask about that.

>Is your mom still doing okay?
>How's that new car working out for you?

People like talking about themselves. I learned this working customer service.

Most importantly:

>Hey, wanna get together sometime?

Don't just spend all your time with your friends on VC playing vidya. Go out and do things with them.

>Anyone wanna go see the new ________ movie?

I used to play Planetside 2 with one of my closest friends. We talked pretty much all the time. Most of the time, or at least as we start we talk about the game, what strategies we should use, what we did wrong last time, how we can improve. It makes both parts think and engage in the conversation. It's really just a kickstarter, because after an hour the conversation goes from game-related to real life related and back again seamlessly without thinking about it.

Then we didn't play for 2 years. We tried to play another game and I experienced what you explained. Remember this is one of my real life friends I've gone to school with and stuff, but still the conversation was dead as fuck which kind of surprised me. But once again I found that focusing on the game initially works as lube for the conversation. It's simply about establishing a rhythm between you. As soon as the gears of communication are oiled up, segwaying into other casual talk is quite easy.

Just say whatever man, it's just game chat it's not like anything you say on there will actually matter.
