LET MY PEOPLE GLOW: I remember when I was six, my Dad brought home a $4000 helium-neon laser from work and my brothers and I spent most of the night shooting it through clouds of baby powder and Comet. Now, of course they are as cheap as beer.
So cheap, of course, that they can be built into geeked out (and inexplicably Egyptian-themed) board games like Deflexion. The object being to move and rotate your mirroed pieces around the board so you can bank your (fixed) laser into your opponent's Pharoh. In 1982 or so, I would have wanted this game more than life itself. But now that I'm a fancy-pants lawyer, I think I'll just go buy it.
