The patrol ship is a high speed security vessel, with a Section 31 detachment. We can have conflict between the undercover people who do what it will take to secure the Federation and its allies, while the captain and crew uphold the laws and regulations of that same Federation and the various allies they work with.

Thanks! I've thought about it a few times and let's face it, we're still not to the point where TV viewing is insane for sci-fi, so if we take something people know, like Star Trek, and look at what shows have stuck around for a while, but don't just recycle scripts from police procedural programs, we could get…

Well, I've read other comments and there is a way to have a new show, provided we sort out whether it falls after Voyager or gets reset per JJs tinkering. I am not a huge Star Trek fan but I have seen most episodes, and there is a thought...

I'd watch a weekly web series and sit through commercials if they had the chance to continue. But of course, licensing, rights, and all of that might mean fan-made short it remains. Just tweak the suit a bit and go.

Agreed, I was hoping it was something about the real origins, things like cultures that carved letters into things so they were angular symbols, and what cultures used letters that were similar to the modern versions. Maybe that's another idea to put in my growing pile of truths I should ensure the world knows about.

I find that YouTube allows me be addicted to games, allows me to enjoy them, and I never have to own or play them. So maybe it is the opposite for me. I do have games that I don't play much or I give up on soon after purchasing them, but for me, the desire to play a game turns into watching someone else play and…

That sounds more like war. Messy, depressing, life altering...how many interviews with WW2 vets have them tears when they recap what they went through 70 years ago? Despite their ages, they still remember the horror of it. Good on those games for making it more like what it is: chaos.

Skills? Lots of skills. Safety and communications go at the top, the rest, too many to list. And as for good to be the king, Mel Brooks does it best, but I don't have the link since my YouTube app doesn't show it.

Enlightened monarchs are a nice dream but difficult to keep. No dictator ever remains benevolent, and there's always someone else who wants to be the dictator, and that leads to more problems. It's only good to be the king or queen until someone else decides they'd like to be able to say the same thing.

I know there will be replies of "what, video games aren't real" sarcasm and things like that, but, from real life experience teaching safety to children, there are some that still try and reconcile what they see in games with what they consider to be the glorious reality of war, or super powers, or any number of…

Can't we just leave it as "all wars should be postponed" and forget about the need to do anything to get them going again?

I really like DayZ even with the bugs, but I have the most fun watching YouTube vids and listening to the commentary of those playing it. I'm just not good at being mean to other people online and killing them to survive, so watching Psisyndicate, hybrid panda, Haatfilms and of course, Sidestrafe do their thing can…

So the concept of a deity is basically Schrödinger's cat. But in order to peek into the box and see, we have to be able to understand what the box is and define the boundaries and then move beyond it to open it.

Gamers like snacks. Thus, gamers should like articles on snacks. And from the lively debate in the other responses, the theory seems to be well supported. We cannot live on zeros and ones alone, we need sustenance. And lucky for me, I can cross off any desire to head for the US of A for Totino's pizza rolls which have…

Wha? There are other games coming out right away? I'm too busy with some sort of border land issue on PANDorA to worry about Kung fu panda on pandoria or whatever they called it.

I'm not sure I liked being referred to as Minion, but it was a fat way to kick off the game. Right back into the hilarity. Of course I think I might level one of each class to five or six and then decide which will serve me best for solo play. Zero might be the winner just because of the sword action and vanishing…

Well, I suppose journalism is supposed to be balanced so Mike, good on you for including that Wall Street Journal bit. but seriously, I don't think the reviewer gets the idea behind Borderlands. this series is entertainment as much as it is a game. Some people want it all in every package, but I think most of us who…

You can jump into two, the story gets a quick recap at the beginning. Maybe watch a YouTube video about borderlands 1 while installs 2 just to get an idea of it. Never have I snickered through a video game, but Borderlands has done it for me. Yep. Half an hour of #2 and just as good.

That is the worst part of all! Ahhhhh. And of course the computer reminded me of Fallout. Green on black? Really? At least get to a Commodore 64 blue screen with white text.

Well, I guess I need some friends who play video games. Until then, Zero might be my choice for first delve into the beautiful madness. But first, safety meeting. All day. Long day. But worth it if it saves a life in the real world.
