Make him sell weed for you and give him a revenue share. Probably the only 'niche' he has some knowledge in according to your brilliant description.
Want to help my cousin out, ideas?

There's an old saying ....
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Nothing you do is going to help this guy. He's a piece of shit, period. Until he decides he wants to change that you're just spinning your wheels.
If it were me, I'd figure out how I can get his video game money in my pocket.

Let me tell you a story:
Half the people I grew up with are now on the street smoking crack. IF they get their life in order, the most they can hope to earn (all things given), is a messily $400/month (they are not educated) It is very, very hard to lift yourself up by the bootstraps with those life opportunities.
Your cousin isn't in a bad spot. He is a spoiled westerner who doesn't know how lucky he is. It tends to work out that people like that need to have bad things happen to them to realize they are lucky and spoiled. You aren't going to provoke that or you would go to jail. So let go, if it is his 'destiny to change' then something will make him wake up. If not, that is his destiny.
Now repeat with me:
I'm not in control of everything. My control over the world is limited. I can barely control my life. I'm going to make the best of my life, and that is the most I can do to help others who are able bodied; be an example.

You'll tear your hair trying to help other people make monies online, over the years people have asked me to teach them and I always start them with a simple test of registering a domain, setting up wordpress, removing the hello world post, and choosing a custom theme. Most people give up at the godaddy cart, the rest fail at manually setting up wordpress.
Toss him a camcorder and tell him to express his thoughts on news, politics, and pop culture while high and then upload the videos to youtube. If he's lucky he'll say some funny shit and become the next youtube star to make money producing useless videos.

the next time you bang a chick go straight round to your cousin's afterwards and hold your stinky fingers under his nose. A quick inhalation of fanny batter and it will be like a kick up the arse for him, he'll be representing some big brands at one point pretty soon.
COME ON WHATS THE FUCKING GAME? I GOT ABOUT 30 INDIANS ON HOLD WAITING TO WRITE A DAMN EBOOK ON THIS GAME SO GIVE IT TO ME.
Tell him to try being a ewhore for a bit. While he's playing his game he can make a couple bucks @ the same time. Win/Win?
In order to get him to change you need to interrupt his pattern and replace his unhealthy habit with something 'better'. Without him WANTING to change this is going to be a loosing battle.
Depending on how good of a cousin he is and how hard you want to try, go take a trip with him for 3-4 weeks. Camping in the wild or somewhere you guys can't readily access technology. Find out what pleasure he derives from his habits. Try to introduce new habits to him. Get him on the Paleo diet (I've got a hunch that more then 50% of all problems are due to bad diet these days. YES, I'm completely pulling this out of my rear end. It's my theory... bite me) and see if his behavior changes. Go exercise with him. Do some yoga... teach him how to meditate.
Take him sky diving. Take him with you while feeding the homeless, working on habitat for humanity or help build a water well in Africa somewhere. Give him a reason to LIVE his life and inspire him.
If he's playing total domination show him how that relates to the 'real' world and how he could build his own business eventually dominating real life.
Just remember, don't blame HIM if you spend months and months trying to help him and he goes back to sitting on the couch smoking weed playing on Facebook.
He didn't ASK for your help...
