My contribution to That Guy With the Glasses’ donation drive was a special entry of FMV Hell where I take on the dreaded Borg menace along with the omnipotent Q!
How many stupid ways can I find to die in the future? Is there a cure for transporter psychosis? Does Q have testicles? Find out!

Lol @ Christian Bale thing
If you want a really funny Q moment, look into your Special Tricorder and search for Vulcans.
Aw, man I was hoping for another part of the FF VIII review… funny how I love that game and I still find you railing on about it hilarious. Well, except for part two, where you blame your obsession for having to have 100 of every magic on every character on the game.
Still, great review. I totally cracked up on the “Shatner technique”.
I loved the bit on the start with “Excuse me, my Coke is ringing” :B
Also Q is awesome.
Also, lionheart should fuck right off.
My god, I remember playing this game at friend’s house like 8 years ago.
Haha thanks for the memories Spoony! You rock!
That is an AWESOME T-shirt. I loved Zombie Nation.
Nice, loved the T-Shirt, will you ever do a rant about another NES game? those FMV are kinda boring at times, must be boring to play them over and over again to do the review too
The AVGN is making videos of many shitty NES games, but there are lots more, like… Cybernoid, Karate Champ, Flying Dragon, among others
Uhh…Spoony, whats with the red nose and drunken looks at the end ? Did you just got drunk and made the video on the fly ?
Wow, in Star Trek you can kick a God in the nuts… I might become a Trekkie for that alone!
Well Q isn’t exactly god, but he’s something else
Like the Ellimist
Thanks for the song name, Kesh.
Wow Quinn, you are retarded. I thought it was an excellent review of a shitty FMV game.
Another good one!
Greetings from Sweden
Yay! Finally, great review!
Wow, this Q guy sounds like G-MAN from HL2 if he were a gigantic asshole.
AND ITS YOUR FAULT. *raises eyebrow*
I know this is geeky but..
Did you say that he takes the cadet back to Wolf 359? If so, why are they using DS9 era uniforms when those weren’t clearly established until that show…unless this game is retconning that and saying they were but we just never saw them in the 3 year interim. Yes, I realize this was made in 1996, but damnit…use the TNG style if you’re gonna time travel!
Also, I kind of agree, 1996 wasn’t the greatest year for Trek, infact the best thing about Trek that year WAS First Contact. Either way though, good video and glad to see you like Trek even with it’s flaws.
John Delancie makes anything he’s in just a bit more cool. Kinda like Spoony….oh crap Spoony is Q!
This was great, i have two suggestions for FMV hell. One is Frankenstien starring Tim Curry, that game made me want to commit multiple MDK’s. It came double packed with a Mummy game starrig that luminary of STV movies, Malcolm McDowall. I’d love to DDT the assholes who programmed those shit monsters.
I don’t know why, but I find this review just so incredibly amusing. I must have watched it at least 20 times by now. Me and my friend Sonya quote it at random – both the game and you. XD
“Did you say that he takes the cadet back to Wolf 359?

Nerd explanation: DS9 uniforms were used alongside the TNG uniforms for a while, the DS9 type being used for deep space and frontier assingments. It’s possible the Righteous was on a long term deep space mission and was called back to fight the Borg, hence the uniforms.
Real explanation: Of course that doesn’t explain the Voyager era phasers. In truth they were just lazy and used Voyager sets and props with no heed to continuity.
i owned and beat this game when i was younger. kicking Q over and over again in the nuts was probably the most fun thing about it. oh, and that typing in “hugh” was a code to skip the decision-making parts.
I’ve always wanted to see you do a review of a fun game, Spoony, but it still has rage inducing flaws. Like Psychonauts.
Oh, don’t look at me like that, don’t tell me you didn’t want to kill something violently during the log room part.
‘Hold on, my coke’s ringing.’
I love that intro. :D
LOL. Great review. I remember playing this when I was a kid. I like Q now, I rewatched some of the game on YouTube, somebody’s posted most of the game, and John DeLancie is a funny guy. But this was a stretch to far for me. I think its one of the reasons I hated Star Trek right up until Voyager, which I love, came out. But, as Voyager pisses all over the other shows because the other shows are fucking garbage, that’s a good thing. I have an appreciation for TNG now, but only if there’s nothing else on.
Spoony, you make me laugh man. Keep it up!
Video games rarely give you the joy of kicking an omnipotent asshat in the junks, but Star Trek: Borg clearly delivers in that department. Right in the Q-balls!
So Q is the physical incarnation of Deus Ex Machina. I love John De Lancie. He’s obviously the best actor, and he’s hilarious. I love his facial expressions that give that subtle yet at the same time exaggerated look of… I don’t know… looking down on you and knowing he can say whatever he wants and you can’t do shit.
I actually had to make a “choose-your-own-adventure” thing in computer class, and, even though it was as simple as possible, making non-linear games (or non-linear ANYTHING for that matter) is HARD and fucking time consuming. There’s a reason most games today are linear: they want to spend time making the gameplay and graphics more innovative rather than focusing on those Fable-loving faggots’ precious multiple endings. They don’t have TIME to make multiple scenarios. It would add an extra couple of months to development which they don’t have. Deadlines take precedence over the whining of GameSpot.
Anyway, tl;dr: Q is the man… god… omnipotent being.
It seems that every book, movie, or TV show that has a race of omnipotent beings, they always have to be arrogant pricks.
It was Q in Star Trek, just like the Ellimist in Animorphs and Mr. Mxyzptlk in Superman. Actually, I think the old Star Trek had several other omnipotent characters, but none were as awesome or as annoying as Q.
I always liked Q. And I always thought the people on the Enterprise treated him too much like a prick. He’s an omnipotent being that’s only there to have himself a good time and to test humanity.
Why can’t Picard or anyone else see it as just that?
Plus, he has a SENSE OF HUMOR. Nobody else on the Enterprise has a sense of humor. And I find that to be very bad.
What is humanity without a sense of humor?
Omnipotent = Somebody who can’t do anything effectively
(just incase you didn’t know)
Omg sorry but he is wearing a samuri zombie nation shirt! XD
Q must be a fan of Back To The Future; he said “jiggawatts” instead of “gigawatts”.
Spoony, you’re really coming into your own. You’re great. Keep up the good work, you’ve got a great style going. I’m a huge fan of AVGN and ThatGuy….and now Spoony as well. You’re doing an excellent job, and giving everyone an excellent and original take. Respect!
Wow Spoony your great. One of the truly funny people on the internet that make me actually laugh out loud (along side AVGN and TGWTG)
I hope you are joking ‘Michael “Big Lad” Callaghan’
What is the song name?
Okay I just flipped this on today because I needed a laugh and I just noticed the fiddling with the focus on the myopia line. I have to say bravo on that. It’s a subtle joke I finally noticed but should have noticed earlier but didn’t because I am idiot. Seriously well done.

I want Spoony’s T-Shirt! <3
Oh my gosh spoony. The begining with teh ringing coke, so reminded me of my grandmother in law just before she passed away. She thought she’d hear music coming from all parts of the house. Would constantly barge into every room of the house demanding to hear what you were listening to. Grandma provided for comic relief through her last days. Hope she see’s now that I’m not so much of an ah-oh… =P. Keep up the awesome videos and maybe I’ll get around to responding to posts sooner.
Haha, first I just wanted to make Q STFU because of him never being able to close his god damn jaws, but he actually was kind of a good actor, you know :p
Finally i find someone whose coke rings too!
To Big Lad;
Thats impotent you moron, omni is a suffix (derived from omega) that means all. omnipotent means the ability to do anything, omnipotent being= what humans liken to a god.
your definition is that of the word impotent, research your arguement before attempting to be a clever dick otherwise you just look like a dumbass.
Watched this for the second time man what a laugh!
“what? did you actually like star trek generations? eat my balls!!!”
hahahahahah. fuckin classic. rock on spooney. though i almost want to play this obviously festering ass pimple of a game just so i can punch Q in the knows and kick him in the mommy daddy button hahahaha
why the hell did i just spell “nose” as “knows”? what the hell is wrong with me? somebody kick me in the balls too hahaahaha
Lol this Samurai zombi nation Shirt is awsome.
Picard should have tried kicking Q in the nads. Might have gotten him to go away.
