I think what you do depends on what you like, there's not much point in heading down to the Games Workshop to make friends by playing Warcraft if you don't like playing Warcraft, similarly if you don't like playing soccer or hockey joining a rec league doesn't make much sense either, I have always done volunteer work so joining a lodge and just doing that work via it made perfect sense to me, I also play rec soccer as I like soccer.
The other point is once you are doing something you have to be friendly, if you are playing soccer or Warcraft its just a vehicle for you to strike up a conversation that leads to going for a beer or the like, if you don't do that then it wont help.
Making friends is like trying to pick up a girl, if you just stand around the edge of the party quiet awkward and not prepared to take a risk getting shot down then you aint getting laid.
