Can't post links, need to sleep

Will post one, lest I forget:

It's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile: why is so little effort put into developing fun and games in science fiction or fantasy universes?

There's some interesting stuff in the comments, and the girls and I are going to get up in the morning and do things even if it kills us.

Sisko plays on the holodeck (and there's actually a hilarious episode where he competes in a grudgematch against this Vulcan team), and I think the only reason Archer no longer plays is because he's stuck on a spaceship.

Worf doesn't play soccer anymore, but you know, he's... Worf.

I've been bored every time, even while acknowledging that it's far better to be bored than to get in a fight when people are trapped under the same roof.

Well, I think you and I simply have different tastes, then. Lots of people do enjoy board games and don't find them tedious :)

LOL, I would like to see a Vulcan baseball team play a grudge-match on the Holodeck. One of these winters, I may get around to giving DS9 a second look.

The people who enjoy board games are very welcome to enjoy them. My only objection to them is that all too often, the people who enjoy them insist on harassing the people who don't enjoy them into playing them anyway.
