The Spoony Experiment

Power Klingon

by Scarlett on July 14, 2007 · 44 comments


While preparing for the FMV adventure known as Star Trek Klingon, I felt obliged to subject myself to the Power Klingon Language Course provided on the third disc, hosted by none other than Michael Dorn! Take the Power Klingon challenge along with me, and see how much honor you retain by the end! Qapla! (Turn your volume up! Some people have said that the CD is a little hard to hear.)

I can’t stop laughing. And being a Trek fan just makes it all that much better!

Good one, Spoony!

Okay… I have soooo many stories about klingons. My father, (A smeg off HUGE trekie he thinks he is a klingon, i swear) decided it would be a great idea to train my dog in Klingon. I SHIT YOU NOT! For 6 years I yelled at my dog in klingon. Boots (the dog) has been dead for quite sometime and I still know how to say things in klingon. I had the cops called on me for it once. Then, the cops almost shot my father becasue he was DRESSED LIKE A KLINGON!!! (and he reached for his ‘disrupter’ way to quickly)

But my real point is, in all of this is that I listened to the CD in this reveiw as well as conversational klingon and a tape on the mating habits of kling ons more time then i can count. (Which led to me being able to make the femal mating growl)

plus Star Trek Klingon was the first game I ever beat….
I have led a sad sad life. *weeps*

I will stop talking though i have SOOOO many horrifying storys….

You make this so much more funnier though!

It’s strange that I met both Leonard Nimoy and Jonathan Frakes yesterday in Orlando. Prices for autographs were through the roof, so I couldn’t get one. I totally forgot to mention Power Klingon to Frakes.

From what it says it looks to just be an audio cd that came with the game:)

…This reminds me of another made-up language for another fan subculture trying to bring “culture” into the geekdom. And the frightening thing is, they both have actual published dictionaries that have been sold. It’s really sad. Fortunately, unlike that other made-up language, I can’t find a font for Klingon.

I was wondering, “Hmm, where have I heard this language before…” then, at the mention of the Russian parliment I went “OH.” Now I feel like a douche for not having caught on after watching so many Star Trek re-runs early thursday morning on TV Land.

I love how you conduct this Star Trek language seminar thing with a Star Wars poster in the background. Screw you, Trekkies! >=P

“My father, (A smeg off HUGE trekie he thinks he is a klingon, i swear) decided it would be a great idea to train my dog in Klingon. I SHIT YOU NOT!”

Dear god, you poor, poor man.

Lucan July 20, 2009 at 9:08 pm

Wait wtf, only some parts of it sound like Russian… most are just gibberish… well there goes my theory.

Also double post for double powar

Marina August 17, 2009 at 3:35 am

I still don’t get it, why they didn’t use the universal translator in Star Trek 6… It would have helped greatly with the translations and they still could have repeated it themselves. The klingons wouldn’t have noticed and it would have been a lot easier…

See this is why I’m a Star Wars guy, it’s easier to learn Huttese than it is to learn Klingon.

Kuman no ma reepah = Fearless and Inventive.
Yabba ni Cho = Take them away

those are the only phrases I can think of off the top of my head.

Tim August 20, 2009 at 5:05 am

That was great! (Except the Irish joke, I’m Irish, grrrrrr)

Felix September 8, 2009 at 6:47 am

Dan September 18, 2009 at 4:50 am

This is hilarious… It sounds a bit like butchered Indian. Educational my ass, who are you going to speak to in Klingon? I’m amazed as to how far some people go just to make that extra bit of money.

38
J-Naps September 20, 2009 at 11:52 pm

this makes me sad to be a trek fan

so very…very sad

“Was I supposed to get a workbook or something?”

That one got me. I had to pause the video, because I couldn’t hear anything over my own laughter.

Someone on Youtube is recreating the experience of this game using links and other features for people who can’t get it to run on their PCs.

Nope. I forgot it all the moment they went onto the next word or phrase, as I’m sure a lot did. That’s insane! Who would sit there and play that shit over and over and over again!!! It’s mind-numbing, but at the same time, pretty damn hilarious! What phrases they teach them to learn! Weenies.

Drama_Librarian October 25, 2009 at 1:01 am

Haha….. “your mother has a smooth forehead”

So… the epic ‘your mom’ joke reaches across the galaxy into Klingon territory.

great review Spoony.

I’ve only ever seen one episode of The Next Generation, and I later discovered that it was the only episode in which Michael Dorn didn’t appear.
Ah well….
