Part of the issue there is actually the 360 controller, from my experience. It has one of the worst D-pads ever made. That said, platformers and fighting games are typically the only ones I use a D-pad on anyway, so if you don’t play those you’d likely never use it.

I had Squeak Squad on the DS and played through it many times. I’ve been playing through some of the others (still don’t have the recent 3D one), and my biggest complaint is just that I’m not the target audience anymore. Haha. Some difficulty settings would be wonderful. However, whenever I want to turn off my brain for a bit I’ll boot up Triple Trouble or Amazing Mirror sometimes.

For some reason my first thought was that this would be an A Tribe Called Quest crossover meme.

I think I remember them mentioning that the replicators can’t make very complex items, like a layered alcoholic drink. That and honestly a lot of people would probably still go just for the social aspect.

My first show was The Next Generation after some half-hearted attempts at the original series. It was a fantastic starting place. It has interesting characters and entertaining storylines, and from what I understand it introduced the more modern Klingon design. If you end up enjoying it, it segues nicely into both Deep Space 9 (which, to me, is just as good) and Voyager (which has not caught my attention quite as well as the other two series).
