Booyakasha ^_~

joekickass posted some songs from the "Borat" soundtrack. Which made me search for Ali G videos on Youtube because I, too, think that he's the better character.
What fun :D
Watching that stuff again made me realize four things - a) I love that guy b) he is terribly funny c) I've seen an awful lot of his themed interviews (weapons, drugs, language, religion...) d) I'm ashamed to ever have watched ther German ripoff because it's so very, very bad compared to the original.

Anyway. I also read a couple of things about Sacha Baron Cohen so once the Borat movie is out, I'll be able to explain him to the people around me. Cuz I'm sure SOME of them will not get it. Like most of the people he interviewed as Ali G didn't get it and like some TV viewers and media who managed to confuse his characrters with his real self >:|

In other news: CD 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Borg are nearly finished. #3 might take a bit longer, tho. Still, it'll be nice to finally be able to play the damned thing. Oh, and OF COURSE I'm still planning to buy it later. And now... I need to go and search for some CD-Rs to burn the ISO files. Damn DVD age ;)

ETA: Oh! I completely forgot something. I ordered some stuff on eBay. A cellphone data cable and some rechargeable batteries for bro. It makes sense cuz *he* doesn't wanna open his own account but *I* want the rep points. Talk about a win-win situation ^_^

Wowies

So CD 1 of Star Trek: Borg finished some times this afternoon.
I am not going tot ell you about the depths of hell I went through to get the game running on Max.
However, I can tell you that I failed miserably.
About to try the same long and frustrating set of options on Kan-chan I became stupid and just popped CD 1 into the DVD drive. For some weird reason the installation actually started, though it finished with an error message saying something about the software not being able to create the DIrect X library.
I set the display resolution to 640x480 as the game requires, opened the directory where the files had obviously been dropped by the installation software, clicked borg.exe... and burst into tears.
The bloody thing IS RUNNING. Kan-chan IS ABLE TO RUN IT.
Okay, the resolution is a bad joke, half of my display lines are blank cuz the game forces fullscreen, but it still looks kinda good to me. And it's not half as jerky as the videos I saw looked like.
I even managed to click onto the bag Q is holding (first decision in the game) and see the game over screen. Which means that the playing interface is working as well.
Holy fuck. I can't believe it.
This means that if I'm able to download CD 2 and 3 (which is but a matter of a few hours), I'll be able to PLAY THE GAME.
Thank you, Kan-chan. I can now safely say that you're the best electronic thing that ever happened to me. I love you. And I promise to polish you tomorrow.

ETA: Heh. The game actually has cheats to skip backwards and forwards thorugh the scenes as you like it. Which is a good think cuz that code-clicking thing in the transporter seems difficult to do with a normal mouse but is utterly impossible to do with a TrackPoint. And - oh noes - CD 1 ended even BEFORE the Q-Borg (or Borg-Q?) part. Damn =_=
But... John is pure eye candy, even in 640x480 :)~~~
