The Borg were introduced to show the Federation that viewing space as a happy place to explore and meet new civilizations was naive. Q says "Space is a dangerous place, full of..." something...I can't find the exact quote

I like awesome badass enemies, the Borg were kinda lame I thought.

TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT, TAS.

Yeah, TOS is corny but I'm a big fan of old sci-fi (which is mostly cheesy anyway) and the "limitations" don't make it difficult for me to watch.
In fact the original show (without the recent enhancements) had pretty good effects for television back then.
Shatner and Nimoy really make the show worth watching.

It's difficult for me to choose between Voyager and DS9.
I guess I can put up with a female captain more easily than Sisko, his kid and all that rubbish about the wormhole aliens.
And Voyager has a sexy Borg.
Although any DS9 ep's involving Klingons are cool.

Very sexy Borg.

Scotland isn't actually a bad country to live in for lots of reasons, and I don't dislike it. But given the history that I have there, and how much happier and more free I feel when I'm divorced from said history, I can't see myself being able to live there comfortably once I graduate.

Also, being outside of the English language world and being able to speak and listen to a foreign language for hours upon hours every day is awesome. So there's that.

Yeah I guess it's a pretty small country so it would be hard to get away from stuff. Glad you're happy.

What anime are you watching?

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

I major in Japanese, but here in Japan, I basically just study whatever I feel like studying, being that, so long as the classes I take are in Japanese, it all counts as study for my major. Right now I'm studying Greek Philosophy, Linguistics, Serbo-Croatian, Japanese literature, Japanese film, and about three Japanese language modules.

Greek philosophy in Japanese? zomg

A special program known as CaveEditor, although it is possible to use assembly to change a lot of things in the mod (such as the title screens, how enemies react, even changing weapons and movement). However, I don't use assembly because it's too hard, so sometimes I ask another person who mods Cave Story to do assembly hacks to the mod. Said person has actually made a shoot 'em up mod of Cave Story.

...

Replacing the dialogue took far less time than I thought it would, I thought it'd take at least three hours...

Neat. I haven't played Cave Story (yet), I'll put it in my "to play" list.

Greek philosophy in Japanese? zomg

It isn't so difficult. If you learn the jargon, and the names of philosophers in Japanese (which tend to be drawn from their original Greek names rather than the English equivalents), it's quite easy to follow.

...well, except one lecture we were given on Pythagoras, and philosophers who saw the universe in terms of numbers. Fairly advanced mathematics in Japanese? No thank you.

Do you wish to partake in a 10-second-long JP listening experiment?

Sure, why not?

What sort of questions do you have to deal with?

Practically anything related to study financing, study debts, tuition fees, enrolment times, and similar.

Oh neat, I didn't realise. What languages do you speak?

Primarily English and Dutch, with lesser skill in a couple more (Latin and Greek helped out a fair bit), such as Old Norse. That was an interesting, yet difficult as hell, course.

@Eggman: Oh, sorry to hear that. Have you taken any painkillers?

@Shane: How do you mod? Does it involve programming/hacking or does it have special tools that you use?

@Elin: Nothing much. I'm just chilling today. Maybe I watch some anime... I also have to clean up my PSP music library. How's your day going? btw I forgot to ask you: what are you studying?

Well, yes. So, essentially, I alternate between sounding in pain and doped out of my mind. At least I didn't take the ibuprofen the dentist gave me today. I'd have been asleep at my desk if I did. Strong bloody stuff...

[Gare]

Sure, why not?

OKAY GRAB YOUR LAB COAT

Could you please tell me what you hear at 1:45 here, starting with いくら考えても．．．?

Also, do you know any idioms that go something like 地の底から　etc.? It's 0:24 in the video and I'm wondering if it has a special meaning or something... Normally I'd expect a line like this to be 心の底から憎む, after all.

Thankies. ^___^

Okay you can refresh the page, I actually added the video link now.

Full of wonders,,, shit I can't remember and terrors to freeze the soul? Something. I like in I think the same episode just before he says that is "If you can't take a little bloody nose then why are you out here?" Come to think of it that's exactly before he says the wonders part.
