StartsWithaBang, I couldn't agree with you more. While I enjoyed the new movies with their sense of humour and amazing graphics, I truly miss the optimism that permeated TOS. I think of the technology arose after they inspired young inventors; and I hope that our future economy will also be inspired by the Star Trek economy -- apparently free market yet equitable.

Really? Outrage? First world problems.

I would have to agree, Portal and Half Life 2 are indispensable part of a good collection. My youngest son bought me The Orange Box for Christmas years ago... I didn't start gaming till late 30s, and this was my intro, after having instructed him that games were the root of all evil. Hahaha... now I love gaming, even the first person shooters that I warned him about. Well played, young man! Well played! For youngsters I would say The Amazing Labarynth is a great family board game.
