| 00:06 | < Soren> | I kept thinking "Yeah, I have enough" and discovering that, no, you still need more. |

| 00:06 | <@McMartin> | 1x3 slopes are also amazing |
| 00:06 | < Soren> | mm. |
| 00:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Funny things: 1x1 plates round, in sand green. |
| 00:07 | < Ced23Ric> | There's like 28 on the entirety of bricklink. |
| 00:07 | < Soren> | yep. |
| 00:08 | < Ced23Ric> | I am so tempted to buy them all. |
| 00:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Just for shits an giggles. |
| 00:09 | <@McMartin> | Corner the market! |
| 00:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Exactly. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Yo, Soren. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | We need to tackle this 'frame. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | I have a leg solution, but I am unhappy. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | I am even unhappier with the arms. |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | Hand me that bottle of paint thinner. |
| 00:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Uhm, yeah. |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | *glug glug glug glug* |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | Aaaaaaaaah. |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | Okay. |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | Time to solve some problems. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme show you. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | The torso is imprinted in your head? |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | enough so. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme show you the stuff I came up with. |
| 00:18 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/xf29_watchman_ldd1.png |
| 00:18 | < Ced23Ric> | There. |
| 00:18 | < Ced23Ric> | This doesn't cut it. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | mm, no. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | I need beefier legs. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | And better arms. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Work your magic. :D |
| 00:19 | <@McMartin> | Try weight training? |
| 00:20 | < Ced23Ric> | You have a travis pelvis and a 1x1 stud on each side for the arms. |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/6942335402/ Try these arms, or something similar |
| 00:20 | <@McMartin> | Band name alert: "Travis Pelvis" |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | Just wait until the butt-talk warms back up. |
| 00:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Those arms are sweet. Nice and chunky. |
| 00:21 | < Soren> | The perpetual floating butt discussion. |
| 00:21 | < Ced23Ric> | BUTT WHAT ABOUT THE LEGS. |
| 00:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Legs/feet. |

| 00:22 | < Soren> | There are options, none of which are exactly good. |
| 00:23 | < Soren> | allow me. |

| 00:23 | < Ced23Ric> | This is the topic. |
| 00:24 | <@McMartin> | Yeah |
| 00:25 | <@McMartin> | I actually like the legs on that. |

| 00:26 | < maoranma> | Damn connection |
| 00:26 | < maoranma> | Love how the bot manages to stay on *kicks mf0bot* |
| 00:27 | < maoranma> | Soren: How many 32000s does the Strider use? |
| 00:28 | < Soren> | 2. |
| 00:29 | < maoranma> | For the arms? |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | no, center torso. |
| 00:29 | < maoranma> | Oh, hmm |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | 4 jumper plates socket in there, 2x2 round plate into each set of jumpers. |
| 00:30 | < maoranma> | My brain isn't quite wired for unbricking models by just looking at them yet, lol |
| 00:31 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9qlxwh9rd4e7t2/Heavy%20Strider.JPG slightly more obvious here, but I'm currently balls-deep in this little problem of Cedric's. |
| 00:32 | < maoranma> | I don't have the leg pieces for that particular strider, but I could make different legs |
| 00:33 | < maoranma> | You'll have to show me how to do that torso at some point |
| 00:34 | < Soren> | give me... say, five? |
| 00:34 | < maoranma> | Oh, I didn't mean immeadiately, lol |
| 00:34 | < maoranma> | Just whenever, I know you're busy |
| 00:35 | < Soren> | ish. |
| 00:35 | < Soren> | paradoxicallym\, there's a lot of waiting. |
| 00:35 | < Soren> | -m |
| 00:36 | < Soren> | when Bricklinkage shows up, stuff gets made |
| 00:39 | < Soren> | This is also relaxing and keep the whole deal from becoming too much of a chore. |
| 00:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Those arms work nicely. |
| 00:39 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll try and get some texture in there. |
| 00:41 | < maoranma> | Studs are texture |

| 00:45 | < maoranma> | Things that go blahblahblah blahblah: My wife. |
| 00:46 | < Ced23Ric> | She sound just like my mom, dude. |
| 00:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe my mom's your wife and you're my dad. |
| 00:47 | < maoranma> | I doubt that, you're probably older than me |
| 00:49 | < maoranma> | Well, maybe, I'm starting to get old |
| 00:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Turning 29 in half a year. |
| 00:50 | < maoranma> | Yea, you beat me |
| 00:50 | < maoranma> | I turn 27 in July |
| 00:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Seems to be the age for this. |
| 00:51 | < maoranma> | Yea, lot of AFOLs. |
| 00:51 | < Ced23Ric> | AFOL = ? |

| 00:59 | <~Noah> | Ah, okay |
| 01:00 | <~Noah> | I have that 1x2 plate with the bar, but only one. At least it's in white |
| 01:00 | < Soren> | one's all you need. It's a relatively large part for MFZ |
| 01:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay, lemme see. |
| 01:01 | <~Noah> | I think I have everything for that torso, will prod at it later when I'm free |
| 01:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: Those look manly. |

| 01:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh wait. |
| 01:11 | < Ced23Ric> | There is no travis brick, right? |
| 01:11 | < Ced23Ric> | No, there totally is. |
| 01:11 | < Ced23Ric> | *throws up hands* |
| 01:11 | < Ced23Ric> | How's the ball connected there? |
| 01:11 | < Soren> | um. |
| 01:11 | < Soren> | to the dish, by the stud? |
| 01:12 | < Ced23Ric> | It just snaps on? |

| 01:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Well then. |
| 01:12 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 01:13 | < Soren> | So, it turns out, if you get enough stuff in the mail, they bring it to you in one of the sorting bins. |
| 01:13 | < Soren> | I'm gonna post some pictures for you guys, then go AFK hardcore. |
| 01:13 | < Dukayn> | That's code for he's going to go watch porn |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | No, I'll just say when I'm gonna watch porn. |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | I might even post links, if you're nice about it. |

| 01:20 | | * KarolineDianne got distracted with the Dragon's Dogma demo, and then a few other things. |
| 01:20 | < Dukayn> | herro |
| 01:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Very well, then. |
| 01:21 | < KarolineDianne> | So... |
| 01:22 | < KarolineDianne> | Has anyone else tried the Dragon's Dogma demo? |
| 01:22 | < KarolineDianne> | Am I the only one who feels like this game is Dark Souls + Monster Hunter + Shadow of the Colossus...? |
| 01:22 | < Dukayn> | I've not even heard of it |
| 01:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | I have but I didn't know it was out. |
| 01:23 | < KarolineDianne> | I'd vaguely heard of it until yesterday, when I actually saw what it was. |
| 01:23 | < KarolineDianne> | The game's not out til tomorrow. The demo's up on xbox live right now, though. |
| 01:23 | | * ToxicFrog will pick it up when it hits $10, which - console game prices being as insane as they are - probably means sometime in the 2020s |
| 01:24 | < KarolineDianne> | And the playstation thingamagig too, I'd imagine. |
| 01:24 | < Ced23Ric> | The weird parts I need ... |
| 01:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | PSN. Yeah, could be. |
| 01:24 | < KarolineDianne> | Check out the demo, it can't hurt. |
| 01:24 | < KarolineDianne> | Plus, you could probably get it used or from a friend sooner than 2020. :P |
| 01:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | Used PS3 games are still $15-$20 in most cases :/ |
| 01:26 | | * KarolineDianne shrugs |
| 01:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | Unless they're Valkyria Chronicles or Resonance of Fate, in which case they're $45 used. |
| 01:26 | < KarolineDianne> | Either way, it looks amazing. |
| 01:26 | < KarolineDianne> | But I'm broke :< |
| 01:27 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/oyy9zqze7q4uzh7/LAV-17A1.JPG Okay, I'm out. You guys enjoy trying to figure this out. |
| 01:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | Which - to someone like me who's only just gotten into modern console gaming from PC - is insanity. |

| 01:29 | | * ToxicFrog nods |
| 01:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | I've got a PS3 that I hardly use, but hey, it was free. |
| 01:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | I've only got four games for it, though. |
| 01:31 | < KarolineDianne> | I play most of my games on my laptop. Using the xbox is a hassle. |
| 01:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | Oh, my laptop can't handle gaming |
| 01:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | But that's what the desktop is for. |
| 01:32 | < Dukayn> | We have a PS3, but mainly for the Blu-Ray player :) |
| 01:32 | < Dukayn> | We have a couple singstars and LBP but that's it games-wise |
| 01:34 | < KarolineDianne> | My laptop handles most of my games just fine. |
| 01:34 | < KarolineDianne> | I have to run Skyrim on the lowest possible settings, though. |
| 01:34 | < Dukayn> | Yeah, Skyrim is a resource hog |
| 01:35 | < KarolineDianne> | But I'm okay with that. I've had hand-me-down computers my whole life. I'm used to only being able to play 10 year old games, so the fact that I can run new games at all is great. Low-quality textures and short draw-distances don't bother me in the slightest. |
| 01:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | Dukayn: it's LBP, Demon's Souls, Ico/Colossus, and Uncharted here. |
| 01:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | And yeah, having a blue-ray player is nice on occasion. |
| 01:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | Although having to sit through the previews every single time we load up Planet Earth kind of makes me wish we'd just pirated it~ |

| 01:37 | < Dukayn> | haha |
| 01:37 | < KarolineDianne_> | oops, net died. |
| 01:37 | < KarolineDianne_> | I'm still totally stunned when I see my stepbrother playing Crysis 2 on his super-desktop. It blows my mind that games are even capable of looking that good, since I'm so used to them not. |
| 01:37 | < KarolineDianne_> | anyway... DINNER TIEM |
| 01:37 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I bet. I haven't seen Crysis 2 yet. |
| 01:37 | < KarolineDianne_> | idle dinner |
| 01:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | My laptop is an old Thinkpad, it wouldn't be able to handle Skyrim, I don't think it would even be able to handle Morrowind. |
| 01:37 | < Dukayn> | heh, it's 10:30am here |
| 01:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | Old DOS games and simple 2d stuff like Dredmor and SpaceChem is about its limit. |

| 01:38 | < Dukayn> | Could play Daggerfall probably |
| 01:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | Maybe |
| 01:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | But yeah, basically, if it requires any sort of hardware accelerated 3d, it's out |
| 01:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | But that's ok, it has plenty of RAM which means it's fine for coding, and for gaming, the desktop is a beast. |

| 01:40 | < Dukayn> | My biggest issue with gaming laptops are their keyboards. They're always squished down to accommodate the form factor, and if you're going to connect an external kb and mouse, might as well use a desktop. |
| 01:40 | <@McMartin> | I just wasn't paying attention |
| 01:40 | <@McMartin> | So last March I noticed that there was this "Planescape Torment" and "Deus Ex" game and HOLY CRAP GUYS |
| 01:41 | <@McMartin> | I don't really have an excuse for not playing Fallout 2 until last month though since Descent 2 was the same timeframe and I played that a lot |
| 01:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Dukayn: I have a lot of objections to gaming laptops, really, the main one being the price - you get a lot more power per dollar when you get a desktop. |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | And by the time the laptop has enough power to game on, and a big enough screen and keyboard, and so forth, it's so big and heavy and has so little battery life that, as you say, you might as well get a desktop. |
| 01:49 | < Dukayn> | Yeah exactly |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | So, I have the desktop for most gaming, and an old PSP for portable gaming, and I am content. |
| 01:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Anyway. I'mma hit the hay. Night guys. |

| 02:08 | | * ToxicFrog has been eating ALL OF THE FOOD this weekend; turns out diving makes you hungry! |
| 02:08 | <@McMartin> | KarolineDianne: So, you were out for it, but re: 10-year time lag |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | "Oh man, this 'Deus Ex' game just came out a while back, SO GOOD. Sequel's kind of skippable, though" |
| 02:09 | < KarolineDianne> | 10 year time lag? |
| 02:09 | < KarolineDianne> | I played Deus Ex once... When I was little. Had no idea what I was doing and didn't have any fun. |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | 17:34 < KarolineDianne> But I'm okay with that. I've had hand-me-down computers |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | my whole life. I'm used to only being able to play 10 |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | year old games, so the fact that I can run new games at |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | all is great. Low-quality textures and short |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | draw-distances don't bother me in the slightest. |
| 02:09 | <@McMartin> | Oops |
| 02:10 | <@McMartin> | It's basically a first-person RPG, and while it has a few sharp edges it stood up surprisingly well |
| 02:10 | <@McMartin> | (I played it for the first time last March) |
| 02:10 | < KarolineDianne> | I played it a long time ago... Didn't like it. |
| 02:10 | < KarolineDianne> | Invisible army was meh |
| 02:11 | < KarolineDianne> | Human Revolution was great, but it had a few issues. |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | Invisible War is bad, but not *as* bad as people said. |
| 02:11 | < KarolineDianne> | War, not army, yah. |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | Human Revolution I played strictly as Keanu Reeves Being Batman |
| 02:11 | < KarolineDianne> | I had fun with it for a bit, but it wasn't that great. |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | Step 1: Immunity to falling damage |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | Step 2: Max out the KER-BATMAN button |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | Step 3: Batman |
| 02:12 | < KarolineDianne> | I don't get it |
| 02:12 | <@McMartin> | Adam Jensen's acting was kind of wooden; it was not uncommon to hear him described as "Batman, as played by Keanu Reeves" |
| 02:13 | <@McMartin> | And I played through DXHR using almost nothing but Melee Takedowns, which basically involves defeating people by walking up to them and hitting the "be Batman" button, at which point they are painfully defeated because you're Batman and they aren't |
| 02:13 | < KarolineDianne> | Anyway... Dragon's Dogma... Do want. Want so bad. I wanna be a magic-wielding, fencing chocolate-skinned elf who takes on dragons! |
| 02:13 | < KarolineDianne> | I see... |
| 02:13 | <@McMartin> | And immunity to falling damage gives you very Batman-y animations whenever you exploit it. |
| 02:13 | < KarolineDianne> | Hey, I got this weird url thing on my type-bar and it won't go away. |
| 02:13 | <@McMartin> | Except for the part where your cape is made of pure electricity |
| 02:15 | < KarolineDianne> | It's moving back and forth from the left and right half of my bar, staying on the side my mouse cursur isn't on... But goes to the left side when My cursur's not on the textbar... And it covers what I'm typing... |

| 02:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | I found Deus Ex to work best, not as a first-person RPG, but more as Cyberpunk Thief~ |
| 02:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | And while I enjoyed DXHR I have a great many complaints about it, most of which are about how Jensen is written >.< |
| 02:24 | < KarolineDianne> | I just found the game confusing. |
| 02:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | I found the tutorial to be a great help. |
| 02:25 | <@ToxicFrog> | That said, if you were trying to play it like an FPS - and I know a lot of people who did - yeah, it rapidly degenerates into madness. |
| 02:25 | < KarolineDianne> | I couldn't seem to figure anything out. |
| 02:25 | < KarolineDianne> | I couldn't sneak-attack people, the dart made them freak out and start running... |
| 02:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | Tutooooorial |
| 02:26 | | * KarolineDianne shrugs. |
| 02:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | And yeah, the tranq darts take a little while to kick in |
| 02:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | They're good for nonlethal takedowns, but not so much for stealthy takedowns. |
| 02:26 | <@McMartin> | This is much funnier in Invisible War, especially if you play it after Portal. |
| 02:26 | < KarolineDianne> | "I'm more curious about the text up there... |
| 02:26 | <~Noah> | KarolineDianne: Yea, Cedric voted for you |

| 05:14 | < mittenninja> | how you doin man? |
| 05:23 | < Dukayn> | Yeah not bad. Yourself? |
| 05:25 | < afny[busy]> | cookin dat breakfast |
| 05:26 | < mittenninja> | pretty good. |
| 05:26 | < mittenninja> | Trying to see if there's enough of a market for people wanting custom built frames to make it worthwhile for me to start doing something like that |
| 05:27 | < Dukayn> | Given how frustrating Bricklink can be I imagine it'll be a worthy enterprise dude :P |
| 05:28 | < Dukayn> | I've been trying to source parts for one of my Nightingales and it's been difficult finding all the parts in 3 or less shops here in Aus. |
| 05:28 | < Dukayn> | Especially as she uses 7 Travis bricks :/ |
| 05:32 | < mittenninja> | I'm even more looking into doing something similar to what some of the backer rewards were on the kickstarter |
| 05:33 | < mittenninja> | maybe even full custom companies |
| 05:33 | < mittenninja> | I'm not going to charge $600 for them of course though |
| 05:33 | < mittenninja> | We shall see |
| 05:33 | < Dukayn> | heh |
| 05:33 | < Dukayn> | Guess it depends on what parts cost, plus how much you value your time. |
| 05:33 | < mittenninja> | right. |
| 05:34 | < mittenninja> | those would probably be priced on a case by case basis |
| 05:34 | < mittenninja> | Even something as simple as selling Grand Nagas, or Iguanas even though could be pretty cool |

| 09:44 | | Soren|Away is now known as Soren |
| 09:44 | < Soren> | YOu know something? |
| 09:45 | < Soren> | It's incredibly fucking late. |
| 09:45 | < Soren> | BUT THE END IS IN SIGHT |
| 09:45 | < Soren> | THANK FUCK |
| 09:49 | < afny> | On one hand |
| 09:49 | < afny> | it is very late |
| 09:49 | < afny> | on the other hand, I woke up at midnight...so that isn't really relevant to me. |
| 09:49 | | Dukayn [dcfd2726@Nightstar-992d69e3.mibbit.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 09:50 | < Soren> | On the third hand, I now know what a $300 bricklink order looks like. |
| 09:50 | < Soren> | It's a lot like I imagine drinking from a firehose would be. |
| 09:50 | < Dukayn> | I bet. |
| 09:50 | < Dukayn> | That's a friggen lot of Lego |
| 09:51 | < Soren> | It is. |
| 09:51 | < Soren> | I had to sort it all, so, I, uh, know. |
| 09:51 | < afny> | Did you order it |
| 09:51 | < afny> | or was it just a thought experiment |
| 09:51 | < Soren> | I ordered it. |
| 09:51 | < afny> | Shiii |
| 09:52 | < Dukayn> | Custom company? Or several? |
| 09:52 | < Soren> | It turns out, when you have enough mail, they give you your mail in one of those plastic sorting bins. |
| 09:52 | < Soren> | all of them, actually. |
| 09:52 | < Soren> | I have... 11 companies to do. |
| 09:52 | < Dukayn> | Ah |
| 09:52 | < Soren> | the standard ones, the Special Editions, those are mostly done. |
| 09:52 | < Soren> | I built the Scramblers tonight, even. |
| 09:52 | < Dukayn> | You're doing one for Mittens yeah? |
| 09:53 | < Soren> | yeah, his guys are turning out pretty excellent. |
| 09:53 | < afny> | What's the theme? |
| 09:54 | < Soren> | I'm doing a bunch of Serpent Legion desert types. |
| 09:54 | < Soren> | they're pretty fierce. |
| 09:54 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I love his designs. |
| 09:54 | < Soren> | once I get the netting I ordered, I can put together the ghillie suits for the snipers. |
| 09:56 | < Soren> | I've also been stocking up for myself, because shipping here is cheaper than shipping to Kuala Lumpur is gonna be, and because the Kickstarter went so well I made roughly twice as much as I was expecting to. |
| 09:56 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I bet you guys are happy with the Kickstarter result. |
| 09:56 | < Soren> | And, you know, I like tantalizing you guys with sweet-ass robots. |
| 09:57 | < Soren> | The thing is, you'd think the profit would be localized somewhere. But you guys really just bought an assload of books. |
| 09:57 | < Soren> | It's super gratifying. |
| 09:58 | < afny> | Why are you going to Malaysia? |
| 09:59 | < Dukayn> | I can't wait for the book, I am SO looking forward to receiving that package in the mail :P |
| 09:59 | < Soren> | wife got a job there, and I like spicy food. |
| 09:59 | < afny> | hi5 |
| 09:59 | < Soren> | I'm looking forward to my copy too. |
| 09:59 | < afny> | Spicy food is best food. |
| 09:59 | < Soren> | it really is. |
| 10:01 | < Soren> | and spicy seafood is like the food of the gods. |
| 10:01 | < Soren> | I'm gonna have to make crab curry. |
| 10:01 | < afny> | I've never had spicy seafood |
| 10:02 | < afny> | I went vegetarian before I got really into curry and cooking with peppers |
| 10:02 | < Soren> | ah. |
| 10:02 | < Soren> | Well, I think of it as a true delight. |
| 10:03 | < Soren> | shrimp with mango salsa is pretty impressive. |
| 10:03 | < Soren> | ...but mostly because mmm, mango salsa. |
| 10:03 | < afny> | I am a fan of mango salsa. |
| 10:04 | < afny> | I also like salsa with too much mint,. |
| 10:04 | < Soren> | mmm. |
| 10:08 | < afny> | Well you've made me hungry |
| 10:08 | < afny> | and your comment earlier about drinking out of a fire hose |
| 10:08 | < afny> | made me thirsty. |
| 10:08 | < afny> | So. |
| 10:08 | < afny> | ...more food. |
| 10:09 | < Soren> | a good plan. |
| 10:09 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
| 10:10 | < Dukayn> | I am considering more food, or a cup of tea |
| 10:11 | < Soren> | I'm considering passing out in a crumpled heap. |
| 10:13 | < afny> | All three of those are on the docket for me |
| 10:13 | < afny> | it's just a matter of time. |
| 10:14 | < afny> | For now...FRUIT PIE. |
| 10:22 | < Ced23Ric> | WHOA. |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | One hour late and this place is ON FIRE. |
| 10:23 | < afny> | That's what happens when you leave the burner on for an hour. |
| 10:24 | < Ced23Ric> | I know, right? |
| 10:24 | < Ced23Ric> | So, Soren! |
| 10:24 | < Ced23Ric> | I posted out results about the support wings. |
| 10:25 | < Ced23Ric> | And I tried your legs. |
| 10:25 | < Ced23Ric> | They are, sadly, way to chunky. |
| 10:25 | < Ced23Ric> | The Torso is still just about 4 bricks wide. |
| 10:25 | < Ced23Ric> | At least the arms go well with it. :D |
| 10:25 | < Soren> | that's something |
| 10:26 | < Ced23Ric> | I made a minor adjustment. |
| 10:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Took a 1x1 plate /w horizontal clip, slapped that on the BOTTOM of the tap in the arms, and then the 1x1 clip tile on that. |
| 10:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Instead of the lampholder. |
| 10:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Makes the arms a bit tighter, and allows for some pretty neat elbow shots. |
| 10:31 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/xf29_watchman_b4.png |
| 10:31 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/xf29_watchman_b5.png |
| 10:31 | < Ced23Ric> | There. |
| 10:32 | < Soren> | looking good. |
| 10:32 | < Dukayn> | Those look real nice |
| 10:32 | < Soren> | This guy does well with a hunched posture. |
| 10:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | That's why I kind of want a) humanly jointed legs and b) legs that can be posed ALOT. So he can be all leany-meany. |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | So I pondered the legs some more. |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | And made legs out of mallets. Lemme show you. |
| 10:34 | < Dukayn> | I've been trying to redo the legs on the Nightingale, try and reduce the Travis brick count a bit. I came up with some stuff but they made it too tall :/ |
| 10:34 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/xf29_watchman_ldd2.png |
| 10:34 | < Ced23Ric> | There. |
| 10:35 | < Ced23Ric> | Hammers and claws colored for visual reasons. |
| 10:35 | < Ced23Ric> | They're gonna be black in the end. |
| 10:37 | < Soren> | fascinating. |
| 10:38 | < Ced23Ric> | How so? |
| 10:39 | < Soren> | that actually works really well. |
| 10:39 | < Soren> | visually. |
| 10:39 | < Ced23Ric> | The mallet/claw? |
| 10:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I threw that up on one of my chubs when I ran out of taps. |
| 10:39 | < Soren> | I always figure that without at least a little splay, legs end up looking ridiculous. Like a robot's lining up a putt. |
| 10:40 | < Ced23Ric> | And I was baffled how simple and clean that is. |
| 10:44 | < Soren> | Yeah. Works like a charm. |
| 10:44 | < Soren> | holy SHIT I am tired. I should sign off. |
| 10:44 | < Ced23Ric> | The only downside ... no sideways articulation. :| |

| 12:28 | < Ced23Ric> | How's things? |
| 12:29 | < afny> | Working on my Bricklink cart |
| 12:29 | < afny> | It's like a goddamn bonzai tree or something |
| 12:29 | < afny> | grows all over the place and I have to come in with scissors and trim it down, but ARTISTICALLY. |
| 12:29 | < afny> | This analogy breaks down when I pay them money. |
| 12:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, here's what I do. |
| 12:30 | < Ced23Ric> | I shop like I have unlimited indisopsable income. |
| 12:30 | < afny> | Is that the end of that thought? |
| 12:30 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I look at the list. |
| 12:31 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I delete every position over 1 Euro, unless it's something like "100 tiles 1x2". |
| 12:31 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I order. |
| 12:31 | < afny> | yeah that's sort of what I'm doing, but I'm also trying to like |
| 12:32 | < afny> | group my bricks so I don't have to order from a lot of stores, to save on shipping, while still getting stuff cheap |
| 12:32 | < Ced23Ric> | I have my stores - it's a group of like 6. |
| 12:32 | < afny> | the problem is I need a lot of basic stuff like taps, but then I need weird invididual parts in odd for some finished frames |
| 12:32 | < Ced23Ric> | They usually have what I need. |
| 12:32 | < afny> | yeah I'm in the process of tailoring a favorte stores list |
| 12:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Just buy overstock. |
| 12:32 | < afny> | OVERSTOCK |
| 12:32 | < afny> | how do you do that |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Need 20 taps? Buy 100. |
| 12:33 | < afny> | oh, yeah |
| 12:33 | < afny> | doing that |
| 12:33 | < afny> | but I mean like |
| 12:33 | < afny> | say for this one blue chub I have |
| 12:33 | < afny> | I need, specifically, two blue parabolas |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
| 12:33 | < afny> | and I won't use blue parabolas again |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Replace them with black. |
| 12:33 | < afny> | MADNESS |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Or grey. |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Or whatever. |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Color codings never on reuseable parts. ;) |
| 12:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Unless they're dirtcheap. |
| 12:34 | < afny> | I could do bley on the inside of the legs I guess |
| 12:34 | < afny> | and the two blue I have on the outside |
| 12:34 | < afny> | like I plan on buying only generic colors and using my own collection for the splash colors |
| 12:34 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 12:34 | < afny> | but on some of the frames I built already, I wouldn't mind rounding out their look |
| 12:34 | < afny> | with some flat 1x1 plates and wedges |
| 12:34 | < afny> | in their respective colors |
| 12:35 | < afny> | I guess for most of them black or grey would suffice |
| 12:37 | < Ced23Ric> | I am blowing up my cart right now. |
| 12:37 | < afny> | blowing up in the party sense |
| 12:37 | < afny> | or blowing up in the destroying sense |

| 12:49 | < Ced23Ric> | They're nifty. |
| 12:49 | < Ced23Ric> | And dritcheap. |
| 12:50 | < afny> | Really? Thought they'd be expensive. If they're cheap enough I have a really good idea for a 0 grav Chub flight system |
| 12:51 | < afny> | I might get enough to make that |

| 13:14 | < Ced23Ric> | 75 bucks now. That's better. :D |
| 13:15 | < afny> | I did some digging in my bucket |
| 13:15 | < afny> | and I found a tap! |
| 13:15 | < afny> | the bad news is, it's some weird light green color |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | BAHAHAHA. |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Executor SD sticker set? |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | 50 bucks. |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | One sticker sheet. |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | 50 bucks. |
| 13:15 | < afny> | sounds |
| 13:15 | < afny> | executive? |
| 13:16 | < afny> | hey have you researched making your own decals? |
| 13:16 | < afny> | I want to do that but I haven't looked it up yet |
| 13:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Shouldn't be tooooo hard. |
| 13:18 | < afny> | I want to find a method that lets me print them at home |
| 13:18 | < afny> | so I'm pretty limited I guess, but |
| 13:18 | < afny> | all I want are little rank decals and company logos |
| 13:18 | < afny> | I figure if I find the right kind of paper I can cut the shapes myself, so I don't need anything high tech |
| 13:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Gimem a sec. |
| 13:19 | < Ced23Ric> | http://home.stickeryou.com/ |
| 13:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Could try this. |
| 13:20 | < Ced23Ric> | |
| 13:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Make+Print Your Own Custom Stickers comes with three 8.5" x 11" blank sticker sheets that will print on any inkjet or laser printer. Each sticker sheet has no die-cuts or perforations allowing you to cut your own custom shape or design. |
| 13:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Exacto knife for the rescue. |
| 13:21 | < afny> | I think the problem with most diy setups like this is the sticker paper is still just paper |
| 13:21 | < afny> | and not adhesive coated clear plastic |
| 13:22 | < afny> | so the designs can't have any transparency and you have to be really good with the cuts around the edges |
| 13:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 13:22 | < afny> | i'm gonna look around at some print shops and see if I can find something transparent |
| 13:24 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 13:25 | < Ced23Ric> | My coworker (I'm at work) was like: "No problem, we have those label printers. Here, have some." |
| 13:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I seem to be sorted. :D |
| 13:26 | < afny> | Hah, nic |
| 13:26 | < afny> | e |
| 13:26 | < afny> | You already have company logos too, right? |
| 13:26 | < afny> | Or some? Just whip up some matching stars and chevrons and go to town |
| 13:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 13:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, I need a new logo for the VMC. |
| 13:27 | < Ced23Ric> | And I need a logo for the SU Peacekeepers. |
| 13:27 | < Ced23Ric> | And a Serpent Logo aswell. But I need Mittens for that, I guess. Or I post it, pending his approval. |
| 13:28 | < afny> | I need to redo my company's logo now that it's sort of solidified thematically |
| 13:28 | < afny> | and I have a UMFL faction logo |
| 13:28 | < afny> | I don't really think my FC cell would have a logo |
| 13:31 | < Ced23Ric> | I'm curious. |
| 13:31 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I will have some labels anyway. |
| 13:32 | < Ced23Ric> | But they won't be uniformal. |
| 13:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, companies and warnings and stuff. |
| 13:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Labor 'frames and all. |
| 13:32 | < afny> | Yeah |
| 13:32 | < afny> | I want some flavor decals too |
| 13:32 | < afny> | like one of my pilots runs a pirate radio station, and I want a decal for that |
| 13:32 | < afny> | that could be on some of my merc frames AND some of the FC labor frames |
| 13:32 | < afny> | or just like random graffiti |
| 13:33 | < afny> | I wouldn't mind a custom missile pod decal for 1x1 plates either |
| 13:35 | < Ced23Ric> | OOh, nice idea. |
| 13:38 | < afny> | wow |
| 13:38 | < afny> | this is getting expensive |
| 13:38 | < afny> | Damn Travis. |
| 13:39 | < Duk|AFK> | God, tell me about it |
| 13:39 | < Duk|AFK> | My Nightingale has 7 of the bloody things. |
| 13:39 | < afny> | This might be a stupid question, but is there a way I can view my whole cart regardless of store? |
| 13:41 | < Duk|AFK> | not that I've found |
| 13:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Nopers. |
| 13:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Duk: I know. |
| 13:41 | < Ced23Ric> | The Grand Naga has 12. |
| 13:42 | < Ced23Ric> | 12! |
| 13:42 | < Ced23Ric> | And the Iguana has 10. |
| 13:42 | < Duk|AFK> | Yeah Mittens is crazy |
| 13:43 | < Duk|AFK> | the Nightingale's core and legs are from the Iguana, actually |
| 13:43 | < Duk|AFK> | which explains everything LOL |
| 13:43 | < Duk|AFK> | I tried redoing the legs to not use Travis bricks, but everything I came up with made it too tall. It's already slightly taller than a Chub. |
| 13:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Alright. I am losing overview here. |
| 13:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Time to write shit down oldschool style. |
| 13:45 | < Duk|AFK> | And it's time for me to go watch Eureka with the missus. Laterz |

| 13:47 | < afny> | hm |
| 13:47 | < afny> | is light blue grey |
| 13:47 | < afny> | the normal light grey |
| 13:47 | < afny> | I don't even know how to frame that question |
| 13:48 | < afny> | it's just weird because I want to buy a bunch of grey headlights, and in "Light Bluish Gray", most stores only have 1 or 2 and the few that have over 50 stock are selling them for the price of a Travis |
| 13:48 | < afny> | so I wonder if I have the wrong color |
| 13:48 | < afny> | especially considering black ones are only like four cents |
| 13:49 | < Ced23Ric> | There's old grey and blueish grey. |
| 13:49 | < Ced23Ric> | BLueish grey is tha one that doesn't look like someone smoked 20 Cubans when they were made. |
| 13:50 | < afny> | well I can't afford these light bluish gray headlights |
| 13:50 | < afny> | so I'll have to go with the cubans. |
| 13:50 | < Ced23Ric> | I like the Cubans better anyway. |
| 13:50 | < Ced23Ric> | More grit! |
| 13:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay, Tally HO! |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | I apparently ordered 92 black dishes. |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess I can take these 80 out of my cart. |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | I ordered no healdlight bricks, so the 60 black ones can stay in the cart. |
| 13:52 | < Ced23Ric> | I ordered 11 travis bricks in black and have several left. So that's fine. |
| 13:52 | < Ced23Ric> | 30 1-stud 1x1 bricks coming in, so that's fine. |
| 13:52 | <~Noah> | Bley~ |
| 13:52 | < Ced23Ric> | 7 2-studs, and only 4 at home. Mhmm. |
| 13:53 | < Ced23Ric> | *stocks up to 30* |
| 13:53 | < Ced23Ric> | 1x1 clip tiles? 100. That should be fine for a while. :D |
| 13:53 | < Ced23Ric> | 70 clips horizontal and vertical? Safe. |
| 13:54 | < afny> | I thought BLEY was |
| 13:54 | < afny> | DARK bluish grey? |
| 14:00 | < afny> | wow, even normal light gray headlights |
| 14:00 | < afny> | seem rare and expensive |
| 14:00 | < afny> | what gives |
| 14:01 | <~Noah> | Bluish Light GrEY |
| 14:02 | < afny> | ? |
| 14:02 | | Ceddo [Ced@Nightstar-72fada86.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 14:03 | <~Noah> | Normal dark grey and light grey are the old grey colors, and are rare and aren't made anymore |
| 14:04 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 14:04 | | Ced23Ric [Ced@Nightstar-381a2fa8.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 14:04 | <~Noah> | The new wants are less orange tinted, and we get bluish dark gray and bluish light gray |
| 14:06 | <~Noah> | Though bley (or blay) usually refers to either color, dark or light |
| 14:07 | <~Noah> | I believe the technical color naming by lego for blay is stone grey |
| 14:07 | < afny> | the whole reason I got into this though |
| 14:07 | < afny> | is that light bluish grey headlights seemed rare and expensive |
| 14:10 | < Ceddo> | Black is nice. |
| 14:10 | < Ceddo> | You can grab some grey ones at local stores. |
| 14:10 | <~Noah> | Hmm, there are only 141 light blay on BL |
| 14:10 | < afny> | yeah I guess I'll just have to use black |
| 14:10 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. I have like 20. |
| 14:10 | < afny> | I don't know |
| 14:10 | < Ceddo> | But meh. Black's beautiful anyway. |
| 14:10 | < afny> | I had quite a few normal light gray but I used them all |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | Oh, I ordered some novelty parts. |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | So excited. |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3069bpb165.jpg?1 <-- 8 of those, one for each side of my new 'frame. |
| 14:11 | < afny> | it looks like a mouth |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3069bpb166.jpg?1 <-- 4 of those, for the back. |
| 14:13 | <~Noah> | two stores in the USA that have light bley headlights for less than pickabrick |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | TWO. |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | Hey Noah. |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | I have a quest for you. |
| 14:13 | <~Noah> | uhoh |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | Buy some 1x1 round bricks in sandgreen. ;) |
| 14:14 | <~Noah> | No, you bought them all |
| 14:14 | < Ceddo> | Nah. |
| 14:14 | < Ceddo> | I am not retarded. |
| 14:14 | < Ceddo> | Things that I will never buy: That. |
| 14:14 | <~Noah> | afny: Are you US or CA? |
| 14:15 | < afny> | US |
| 14:15 | < afny> | I'm having a hard time finding less than like 6 stores to fill even a basic order |
| 14:15 | < afny> | hurk |
| 14:15 | <~Noah> | Yeah, that happens |
| 14:16 | <~Noah> | But, if you need like 100 headlights in light blay, might look at pickabrick, they call it "medium stone gray" |
| 14:16 | <~Noah> | And yes, they have a light stone grey, which is like super light blay |
| 14:16 | <~Noah> | Uhg, lego |
| 14:16 | < afny> | .25 isn't bad |
| 14:16 | < afny> | I might get my Travis from pab too so shipping would be worth it |
| 14:17 | <~Noah> | Dunno what Lego's shipping is to be honest though |
| 14:17 | < afny> | don't have money for 100 though |
| 14:17 | < afny> | like I really don't want to spend more than 25-30 bucks |
| 14:17 | < afny> | I'm not trying to build a garage kit since I still have substantial bricks |
| 14:17 | < afny> | I just need stuff for armatures and stuff that I KNOW I'm missing |
| 14:17 | < Ceddo> | How much longer are you guys gonna be around? |
| 14:17 | < afny> | UNKNOWN QUANTITY |
| 14:18 | <~Noah> | Unfortunately, my wife woke me up, so I suspect I'll be awake for the rest of the day |
| 14:19 | < Ceddo> | Very good. I'll go grab a sammich then. |
| 14:19 | <~Noah> | Bring me one too |
| 14:20 | < Ceddo> | In the mean time, I give you this: http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=718&p=8277#p8277 |
| 14:20 | < afny> | awww |
| 14:20 | < afny> | this store has mushrooms but they're two dollars each |
| 14:20 | < Ceddo> | Be back in like 10 or so. |
| 14:20 | < Ceddo> | BAHAHAHA. |
| 14:20 | < Ceddo> | BRB. ;) |
| 14:20 | <~Noah> | Actually, sandwich sounds good, I think I'll get a few too |
| 14:20 | <~Noah> | KITCHEN |
| 14:27 | <~Noah> | And back with sandwich making stuffs |
| 14:27 | <~Noah> | I have these Sandwich Thins rolls |
| 14:27 | <~Noah> | Not as big as normal break, but tasty |
| 14:28 | <~Noah> | bread* |
| 14:28 | < afny> | I've been making these breakfast sandwiches recently |
| 14:28 | < afny> | let me lay it down for you |
| 14:28 | < afny> | HOMEMADE BREAD, sliced thick |
| 14:29 | < afny> | then you fry up: Vegetarian sausage (or use real sausage). Finger-width slice of avacado. Sliced mushrooms. One Egg. |
| 14:29 | < afny> | Top with cheese of choice. SMUSH. Eat. |
| 14:30 | <~Noah> | That does sound good, except for that sausage bit |
| 14:30 | < afny> | Not a sausage fan? |
| 14:30 | <~Noah> | I hate all breakfast sausages |
| 14:30 | < afny> | Well mine isn't real sausage, so I can't really comment. |
| 14:30 | < afny> | It would certainly have enough protein with the egg and mushrooms even without that |
| 14:30 | < afny> | if you're a meat eater I'm sure bacon would be very good as well. |
| 14:34 | <~Noah> | Are you a moral veggie or a health veggie? |
| 14:35 | < afny> | Bit of both I guess |
| 14:35 | < Ceddo> | I am a moral meateater. |
| 14:35 | < Ceddo> | And a healthy meateater. |
| 14:36 | < afny> | I dont think eating meat is wrong |
| 14:36 | < afny> | I just don't agree with current farming practices |
| 14:36 | < Ceddo> | True. |
| 14:36 | <~Noah> | Ahh, I did the health veggie thing for a while, it was pretty fun actually |
| 14:36 | < Ceddo> | Good thing those aren't that way over here. |
| 14:36 | < Ceddo> | Our farming is pretty regulated. |
| 14:37 | <~Noah> | But my wife couldn't avoid things that were like meat, so she slipped back into actual meat |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | You can actually go eat at McD and BK over here. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | They have to use German beef. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | And that's pretty high-standard. |
| 14:37 | < afny> | even stuff here that people think is high standard isn't |
| 14:37 | < afny> | like our "Angus" beef isn't Angus beef at all |
| 14:38 | <~Noah> | She's so picky, I knew it wouldn't work for the long term. I can eat things like grilled portabella mushroom caps instead of faux-beef, she can't |
| 14:38 | < afny> | I eat a lot of those |
| 14:39 | < afny> | there's so many good sources of protein that aren't fake meat, though |
| 14:39 | <~Noah> | I'm lucky to live in an agriculture zone, our farms are pretty sane around here if you buy local stuff |
| 14:39 | < afny> | legumes, for instance, or wheat protein |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | Ever heard of milk-schnitzel? |
| 14:39 | < afny> | nope |
| 14:40 | <~Noah> | But I don't have issues with eating things with faces, I know I'm a first order carnivore |
| 14:40 | < Ceddo> | They take milk and plant fibres, turn it into a patty, batter it, fry it, bamm, Schnitzel. |
| 14:40 | < afny> | that sounds pretty delicious |
| 14:40 | < Ceddo> | Noah: I am an omnivore. I eat things that can fight me. |
| 14:40 | <~Noah> | Sounds weird, which means I'd probably like it |
| 14:40 | < Ceddo> | Shark, Kangaroo, Emu, strich, Crocodile .. |
| 14:40 | < Ceddo> | *Ostrich |
| 14:40 | <~Noah> | I guess I'm that too, ever had bear? |
| 14:41 | < Ceddo> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_8BgB6KCSw |
| 14:41 | < Ceddo> | There. |
| 14:41 | <~Noah> | Gak! Capitalized Nouns! |
| 14:43 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 14:44 | < Ceddo> | Did you kids look at the forum link I posted? |
| 14:44 | <~Noah> | Yes, another plug for the IRC channel, good job!~ |
| 14:45 | < afny> | i'm outfitting some frames with one of those strategies right now |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | Vair good. |
| 14:45 | < afny> | the only company comp I'd considered so far was based around swarmers |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | Which one did you pick? |
| 14:45 | < afny> | Well I saw that post earlier, and I'd discussed the split-range fire platform with Soren |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | HtH is so iffy, I can't really see myself fielding any. |
| 14:45 | < afny> | so that one |
| 14:45 | < afny> | IFFY |
| 14:45 | < afny> | madness |
| 14:45 | < afny> | you get the d8! |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | So? |
| 14:45 | < afny> | and you hit on more stuff |
| 14:46 | < afny> | hit for DAMAGES. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | Come at me, bro. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | You run up to me as I stroll away, shelling/shooting you. |
| 14:46 | < afny> | I'll definitely be fielding HtH a lot, but I don't want it to be the only strategy I'm familiar with |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | You arrive naked. We dance. |
| 14:46 | < afny> | everyone thinks they can kite the HtH |
| 14:46 | < afny> | I definitely think it's stronger on the defensive |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | No, you misunderstand. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | Say your swarmers swarm 'frame A. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | A runs like hell (while shotting/spotting). |
| 14:47 | <~Noah> | I wonder if we'll see rules revisions to include attacks of opportunity |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | The rest of the DF/Arty 'frames blast the spotted swarmer to bits. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | I don't need to be clumped up. You do. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | My running is just buying me more time to fire. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | I know you are faster and I cannot kite you. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | But I can delay you. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | And that's posion for HtH. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | Because, every round you are not punching things, that HtH system is a deadweight. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | Guess what's not a dead weight? Yeah, that assault rifle. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | Pew pew. :D |
| 14:48 | < afny> | Well |
| 14:48 | < afny> | my swarmer strategy also employs closers |
| 14:48 | < afny> | I mean I can't say whether or not that's splitting resources because I haven't tested it yet |
| 14:49 | < afny> | but instead of yellow dice, on some of my swarmers I put a direct fire system |
| 14:49 | < Ceddo> | Oh boy. |
| 14:49 | < Ceddo> | That's great. |
| 14:49 | < Ceddo> | Allow me to shoot the non-shooty swarmers then. |
| 14:49 | < afny> | Well in a Battle |
| 14:49 | < Ceddo> | You can have your DF /wo spot support. :D |
| 14:49 | < afny> | we're only talking one squad of four swarmers |
| 14:50 | < afny> | then one/two fire platforms |
| 14:50 | < Ceddo> | In a battle, I'd field 4 Soldiers, 3 Racoons and 1 pointman. |
| 14:50 | < afny> | and two spotting closers |
| 14:50 | < Ceddo> | Pointman is my troll 'frame. |
| 14:50 | < Ceddo> | RdRdBWW. ^^ |
| 14:51 | < Ceddo> | The soldiers get reduced to RdRdYBWW (except for one). Racoons come in ful RaRaYYBWW flavor. |
| 14:51 | < Ceddo> | 8 'Frames, 27 systems. |
| 14:51 | < afny> | so you try to guarantee yourself the defensive |
| 14:51 | < Ceddo> | Yupp, but in a favorable asset value position. |
| 14:52 | < Ceddo> | A battle of 7 / 3 is much harder than 6 / 4. |
| 14:52 | < Ceddo> | And if it's 6 / 5 / 4 I am laughing all the way to the slaughterhouse. |
| 14:52 | < Ceddo> | You can see this strategy in action in the PbP. |
| 14:53 | < Ceddo> | I managed to have 5 'frames and still come out with asset value 5. ^_^ |
| 14:53 | < Ceddo> | I am 1 point below the defender. |
| 14:54 | <~Noah> | !mf0 rrRyybww - Arty |
| 14:54 | < mf0bot> | Rolls for rrRyybww: Red (Attack) - [6, 5, 1], Blue (Defense) - [6], Yellow (Spot) - [2, 3], Green (Move) - [0], Whites (Wilds) - [5, 2] |
| 14:55 | < afny> | isn't one point below the defender the weakest position you can be in though |
| 14:56 | < Ceddo> | Nope. |
| 14:56 | < afny> | well, okay, not in victory score |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | I have almost as much fight in me as the primary attacker. But I also have almost as much score as the defender. |
| 14:57 | < afny> | but if you're playing offense it seems like you'd want to bruteforce it |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | I got the best of both worlds. |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | Naaah. |
| 14:57 | < afny> | Oh, is it a multiplayer |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | Bruteforce is 7 / 3. |
| 14:57 | < afny> | I was thinking in a 2v2 situation |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | In a 2vs2, I'd totally take 5 'frames with 16 systems. |
| 14:59 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, 4 light soldiers (RdRdYB), 1 racoon (RaRaYYB), for example. |
| 15:17 | < afny> | so |
| 15:17 | < afny> | why a second spotter for the 8th unit in Soren's strategy |
| 15:17 | < afny> | I mean I know your strategy is sort of a response to the perceived weakness in his |
| 15:17 | < afny> | where his spotter is vital |
| 15:17 | < afny> | but what is the likelihood of it actually being taken down |
| 15:18 | < afny> | and even then, the soldiers can spot for the firing platforms pretty effectively |
| 15:19 | < afny> | why not another soldier, I guess is my question |
| 15:26 | <~Noah> | Dunno, Soren will probably elaborate when he's around |
| 15:28 | < afny> | Well I wasn't sure if that bit was added by Ced |
| 15:28 | <~Noah> | http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7136/6967454368_40f7ca8356.jpg |
| 15:28 | < afny> | or if it was part of Soren's original plan |
| 15:28 | <~Noah> | that's why I wanted those clear pieces |
| 15:28 | < Ceddo> | I added it. |
| 15:28 | <~Noah> | Wanted to make something like that, lol |
| 15:28 | < Ceddo> | Fpr redundancy. |
| 15:28 | < afny> | I can't find any of those disks! |
| 15:29 | < afny> | I know I had some |
| 15:29 | < Ceddo> | You CAN make it another soldier. |
| 15:29 | <~Noah> | Clear 3x3 or 4x4s? |
| 15:29 | < Ceddo> | 2x2 |
| 15:29 | < afny> | the wheels on his arms I mean |
| 15:29 | <~Noah> | Dunno, the 2x2s seem too small for drones |
| 15:29 | < Ceddo> | Oh. those. |
| 15:29 | <~Noah> | Probably fine for the smaller ones |
| 15:29 | < Ceddo> | Lemme see. |
| 15:29 | < Ceddo> | I ordered some. |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32439apb02 |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | There. |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=638&catType=P&v=1 |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | Come in various colors. |
| 15:31 | < Ceddo> | (Type in 5 x 5) |

| 15:31 | < Ceddo> | There. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | BRB |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | Back. |
| 15:44 | < afny> | well right now I'm thinking |
| 15:44 | < afny> | 8th unit is another soldier |
| 15:44 | < afny> | but I am willing to rethink |
| 15:44 | < afny> | I don't know I just need to play some games |
| 15:45 | < afny> | get some firsthand knowledge |
| 15:45 | < afny> | are you kidding me camera...dead AGAIN? |
| 15:48 | <~Noah> | Mine's rechargable, huzzah! |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | I have my charger with me AT ALL TIMES. |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | Also, I will need to leave the office soon, take the train to a remote dependency, grab equipment and change some ink in a pront ... |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | *printer |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | And then come back. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | That'll take like ... an hour. Minimum. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | Or I'll be uberslow. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | And do it in 90 minutes. |
| 15:56 | <~Noah> | Milk it yo |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | And spend some time strolling. :D |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | Well, I am the only one left on station. |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | *sets phone to forward on mobile* |
| 15:58 | < Ceddo> | The entire Federal Ministry of Health is relying on me. |
| 15:58 | < Ceddo> | Time to go for a stroll! |
| 15:59 | <~Noah> | Ah huh |
| 16:00 | < Ceddo> | I'm doing IT here, watching the server farm of the ministry and stuff. |

| 16:33 | <~Noah> | Hello Wolf |
| 16:36 | < afny> | o/ |
| 17:18 | < afny> | hurgh |
| 17:18 | < afny> | I'm just going to favorite all these stores and come back to my carts later |
| 17:18 | < afny> | this is so draining |
| 17:21 | <~Noah> | Oh, afny |
| 17:21 | <~Noah> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4070a |
| 17:21 | <~Noah> | Would that piece work in place of the other headlight? |
| 17:22 | < afny> | you mean in that color? |
| 17:22 | <~Noah> | No, I mean that bricklink |
| 17:22 | <~Noah> | Brick* |
| 17:22 | <~Noah> | It's a different type of headlight |
| 17:23 | < afny> | I can't tell what's different about it |
| 17:23 | < afny> | oh |
| 17:23 | < afny> | it's got |
| 17:23 | < afny> | a little hole |
| 17:23 | <~Noah> | Yea, it's pretty small too |
| 17:24 | < afny> | I don't see why it wouldn't work |
| 17:24 | <~Noah> | pretty cheap too |
| 17:25 | < afny> | yeah but most of these stores only have like 7 of them |
| 17:25 | < afny> | gotta find it in a store that has a lot of other parts I need too |
| 17:25 | < Ced|OnAMission> | Back. |
| 17:25 | | Ced|OnAMission is now known as Cedric |
| 17:26 | < Cedric> | The fuck. |
| 17:26 | < Cedric> | It's 40?C out there. |
| 17:26 | <~Noah> | Filter by quantity shows shows several stores with 25 or more for less than 10c |
| 17:26 | < afny> | either way I added it to my wanted list in a few colors |
| 17:27 | <~Noah> | I wonder what that "slot" is for? |
| 17:28 | < Cedric> | In the headlight brick? |
| 17:28 | <~Noah> | On the 4070a yea |
| 17:28 | <~Noah> | The 4070 doesn't have that |
| 17:28 | < Cedric> | The indention sometimes interferes with longer studs, AFAIR. |
| 17:29 | <~Noah> | Ahh, so the slot makes it not get hung on certain studs, that's cool |
| 17:29 | < Cedric> | Not sure, but that'd be my guess. |
| 17:30 | <~Noah> | Still, should perform the same as a 4070 for our uses, and costs quite a bit less, at least for the light bley |
| 17:30 | < Cedric> | Mos Def! |
| 17:30 | <~Noah> | Love that about bricklink catalog, it'll show you similar moldings at the bottom |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | Oh, there are notes too |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | "Some people dislike the slot if the front face of the brick is visible. On the other hand, it may be considered an additional, desirable, detail. The differentiation here is so people can avoid the slot if it matters to them. Hopefully, sellers listing this item will have sorted and listed the remainder of their stock as the without-slot variety under what is essentially the 'undetermined type' entry. The slot is considered a defect by most |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | people and in it's most extreme form has been known to affect durability of the part." |
| 17:32 | <~Noah> | I wouldn't consider it a defect, especially if Ced is right about studs |
| 17:32 | <~Noah> | Sounds like we need to do some experimentation. SCIENCE! |
| 17:32 | < Cedric> | If it's a defect, it's a quite deliberate and reproduced defect. |
| 17:32 | < Cedric> | Hence I doubt it. |
| 17:33 | < Cedric> | I think they just raised the lower stud-hole a bit and thusly cut into the front. |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | They keep making Chevys |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | HOO OOOOOH!~ |
| 17:33 | < Cedric> | That is true, though. |
| 17:33 | < Cedric> | I mean, America keeps making cars in general. |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | Oh snap |
| 17:33 | < Cedric> | I went there. |
| 17:34 | <~Noah> | Think you're so cool with your VWs and whatnot |
| 17:34 | < Cedric> | VW, Audi, BMW, FAUN, Porsche ... |
| 17:35 | < Cedric> | Oh, and of course the European cars of American manufacturers. |
| 17:35 | < Cedric> | Like the Ford CMax. |
| 17:35 | < Cedric> | Or the Ford SMax. |
| 17:35 | < Cedric> | It's a bit like Lee Enfield going to Heckler & Koch with their SA80. |
| 17:36 | < Cedric> | "IT BE BROKE, YO!" - "Lemme fix that." - "THANKS GERMAN GUY. IT BE SA802 NOW!" |
| 17:36 | < Cedric> | And then, soldiers still bought their own mags because the stock ones would just fall out of the mag well. :D |
| 17:36 | <~Noah> | Hey, we don't talk like that, you be racist yo. |
| 17:36 | <~Noah> | Or nationalist |
| 17:36 | <~Noah> | Or, whatever |
| 17:38 | < afny> | I don't like cars or guns |
| 17:38 | < afny> | I HAVE NO HORSE IN THIS RACE. |
| 17:38 | < afny> | *I don't like horse racing either |
| 17:39 | < Cedric> | Noah: I mocked the Brits. |
| 17:39 | < Cedric> | But I can mock the Americans with guns, too. |
| 17:39 | < Cedric> | HMG60. :D |
| 17:40 | <~Noah> | Blahblahbhablhabhlbahhbbla |
| 17:40 | < Cedric> | "Goddamnit, that MG42 is fast! And efficient! And brutal! And fast! Let's reverse engineer that!" |
| 17:40 | < Cedric> | ... enter the overweight, slow-firing ironpig that is known as M60. :D |
| 17:41 | < Cedric> | But then again, mocking Americans is redundant. |
| 17:41 | < Cedric> | So I henceforth stop. |

| 17:47 | < afny> | NEVER. |
| 17:48 | < afny> | oh |
| 17:48 | < afny> | I'm supposed to be drawing characters |
| 17:48 | < afny> | by the way it turns out I had a cold or something |
| 17:48 | < Cedric> | Aren't you drawing Avery? |
| 17:48 | < afny> | because after my headache went away I got a fever and started sneezing everywhere |
| 17:48 | < afny> | I am not CURRENTLY drawing anything |
| 17:48 | < Cedric> | Oh. Okay then! |
| 17:48 | < Cedric> | Aren't you GOING TO BE drawing Avery? |
| 17:48 | < afny> | yes. |
| 17:49 | < Cedric> | She is a shameless plug. |
| 17:49 | | Whitewolf [a@Nightstar-dccd82e8.superkabel.de] has left #mf0 [] |
| 17:49 | < Cedric> | Of a friend of mine. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | does your friend really have that hair |
| 17:49 | < Cedric> | Who is in love with my robots and my stories. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | i'm afraid it will look pretty funny with a beret |
| 17:49 | < afny> | but we'll see |
| 17:49 | < Cedric> | Nah, she currently has blonde hair that goes into orange at the bottom. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | lets see, I have to draw... |
| 17:50 | < Cedric> | She's at Anime Con North right now, cosplaying as genderbender Ichigo. |
| 17:50 | < Cedric> | I have no idea what that means, by the way. |
| 17:50 | < afny> | which part |
| 17:50 | < Cedric> | The Brotherhood was pretty much her idea, too. |
| 17:50 | < Cedric> | Ichigo. |
| 17:50 | < afny> | She gets points for the gender bending but she loses points for Ichigo |
| 17:50 | < afny> | because I don't like Bleach. |
| 17:50 | < Cedric> | No clue what that is. |
| 17:51 | < Cedric> | Ah, yeah, she mentioned bleach. |
| 17:51 | < afny> | I think it's really bad...I read the first few chapters and it just seemed like one of those |
| 17:51 | < afny> | ENDLESS fighty mangas |
| 17:51 | < Cedric> | Yupp. |
| 17:51 | < afny> | where the good guy is just in a perpetual machismo arms race |
| 17:51 | < afny> | with disposable foes |
| 17:51 | < Cedric> | I liked Alita. |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | And manga-wise, big fan of Blue Submarine No. 6 and JinRoh. |
| 17:52 | < afny> | Wait |
| 17:52 | < afny> | Blue Sub 6 is based on a MANGA?! |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | *nime |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | *anime |
| 17:52 | < afny> | ph |
| 17:52 | < afny> | oh |
| 17:52 | < afny> | okay |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | I dunno. D. |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | MAYBE! |
| 17:52 | < afny> | I dunno |
| 17:52 | < afny> | but I love blue sub 6 |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | But it's cool. |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | Yay! |
| 17:52 | < afny> | haven't seen JinRoh |
| 17:52 | < afny> | I'm watching VOTOMS now since everyone here seems to love it |
| 17:52 | < Cedric> | WHAT. |

| 17:54 | < afny> | No spoilers |
| 17:54 | < afny> | I'll just watch it |
| 17:54 | < afny> | I really like a lot of Okiura and Oshii's other works |
| 17:57 | < Cedric> | No spoilers, nah. |
| 17:57 | < Cedric> | It's just an AMV. |
| 17:57 | < Cedric> | Contains no important clues. |
| 17:57 | < Cedric> | But it tells alot about the feel and art. |
| 17:57 | < afny> | I |
| 17:57 | < afny> | hate AMVs |
| 17:57 | < afny> | so much. |
| 17:57 | < afny> | and it totally is a spoiler |
| 17:57 | < afny> | it's an ART SPOILER |
| 17:58 | < Cedric> | I usually hate AMVs too. |
| 17:58 | < Cedric> | But that one is good. |
| 17:58 | < Cedric> | Also: Haha, you do the rules wrong. |
| 17:58 | < Cedric> | You don't assign Whites before rolling. |
| 17:59 | < Cedric> | You assign them after rolling. |
| 17:59 | < Cedric> | That's why they are so precious. |

| 18:04 | < afny> | there ARE NO GOOD AMVS |
| 18:04 | < afny> | the whole CONCEPT |
| 18:04 | < Cedric> | Well then. |
| 18:04 | < afny> | ENRAGES AND FONCUSES me. |
| 18:04 | < Cedric> | I SAN CEE THAT. |
| 18:04 | < afny> | DOOG. |
| 18:05 | < Cedric> | VERY LELW. |
| 18:05 | < Cedric> | LET'S VOME ON. |
| 18:05 | < Cedric> | Aerosmith does nothing for me. |
| 18:05 | < Cedric> | Like ... nothing. |
| 18:05 | < Cedric> | It's more annoying than anything. |
| 18:06 | < afny> | even with a song I LIKE |
| 18:06 | < afny> | I find that is the end result of an AMV |
| 18:06 | < afny> | but yeah I don't like Aerosmith either |
| 18:06 | < Cedric> | DOOG. |
| 18:06 | < Cedric> | I also don't like ACDC. |
| 18:06 | < Cedric> | And most of the Stones stuff is meh to me at best, too. |
| 18:07 | < Cedric> | Doors, on the other hand ... |
| 18:07 | < afny> | I'm not as versed in The Doors as I should be |
| 18:07 | < afny> | but I like them |
| 18:07 | < Cedric> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTDu3NbTBjM |
| 18:07 | < Cedric> | This is what I am looking forward to this year. |
| 18:07 | < afny> | I'm ashamed to admit that I mostly just listen to the Alabama Song on repeat |
| 18:07 | < Cedric> | The Love Parade comes back to Berlin. |
| 18:07 | < Cedric> | Oh, do you like electronica at all? |
| 18:08 | < afny> | I like some stuff that's got a LITTLE bit of electronica influence |
| 18:08 | < afny> | like The Knife |
| 18:08 | < Cedric> | Yeah, gotcha. |
| 18:08 | < afny> | but I mostly like stuff with vocals |
| 18:08 | < afny> | I don't know I just haven't heard much electronica |
| 18:09 | < Cedric> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrvNaIxeUqs |
| 18:09 | < Cedric> | Thank me later. |
| 18:10 | < Cedric> | ... has some build-up. |
| 18:12 | <~Noah> | I'm a minute and half in, where's my bass drop! |
| 18:13 | < afny> | I kind of want to watch Gundam Unicorn but I haven't watched a UC Gundam show in so long |
| 18:13 | < afny> | I think it would just be confusing |
| 18:13 | <~Noah> | http://goo.gl/Nx3c4 - DROP IT. |
| 18:16 | < afny> | WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT |
| 18:16 | < afny> | in this thread |
| 18:16 | < Cedric> | Noah: You want some bass? |
| 18:16 | < Cedric> | Let me introduce you to Sven "You don't need those membranes anymore and fuck your neighbors, too" V?th. |
| 18:18 | < Cedric> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKohulmRyx8 |
| 18:18 | < Cedric> | But that's steady beat. |
| 18:18 | <~Noah> | I need something that looks like speakers, that way I can make some frames with some giant ass bass cannons |
| 18:18 | < Cedric> | Let me find you some nice broken beat bass. |
| 18:19 | < afny> | I found a brick with a tape deck painted on it |
| 18:20 | < afny> | it's a 4x1 brick |
| 18:20 | < afny> | I WILL be making a DJ frame to go with my radio broadcaster frame. |
| 18:20 | < Cedric> | Actually, you might like ZEF style. |

| 18:33 | < Soren> | nah, just use 2x2 discs. |
| 18:33 | <~Noah> | Yeah, those |
| 18:33 | < Soren> | I can go mock this up. |
| 18:34 | <~Noah> | What do you use to make the decals? |
| 18:34 | < Soren> | Illustrator. |
| 18:34 | <~Noah> | I've played with inkscape, but I'm not much of an artist |
| 18:36 | < Soren> | ...Now, the important question: do I get a Spot die for having roadies to help me set up my gear? |
| 18:37 | < afny> | I'll be answering that question shortly |
| 18:37 | < afny> | WITH A DIORAMA |
| 18:37 | <~Noah> | nah, it gets defense die for air distortion caused by the sound |
| 18:37 | <~Noah> | Some speaker drones would be sweet, haha |
| 18:37 | < Soren> | I'm thinking 1Y 2Rh 2B |
| 18:38 | <~Noah> | Yea, the drones could have cameras too for shooting the concert |
| 18:38 | <~Noah> | Er, spotting enemies, or whatever |
| 18:38 | < Soren> | Those guys will set up the SHIT out of a sound system. |
| 18:39 | < Cedric> | "DROP THE BASS!" ~ d8Rd |
| 18:40 | < Cedric> | "MOSHPIT!" ~ d6Rh |
| 18:40 | < Soren> | I think I should be able to take a Blue die for smelling like burnt rope. |
| 18:40 | <~Noah> | Haha, instead of 1SRs, it has a big bass cannon, but the system only has enough for three drops, lol |
| 18:41 | <~Noah> | enough energy* |
| 18:44 | < Cedric> | Nah.- |
| 18:44 | < Cedric> | The amp burns out. |
| 18:44 | < Cedric> | Cannot handle the spike. |
| 18:45 | <~Noah> | Heh, well, I was thinking practical, since you can show three batteries on the frame and remove them, but it could easily be glass transformers, make from clear 1x1 clear round bricks |
| 18:46 | <~Noah> | Since every audiophile will insist on glass bulb transformers |
| 18:48 | < Cedric> | Oh boy. |
| 18:48 | < Cedric> | Oh boy. |
| 18:48 | < Cedric> | Get the trans light blue 1x1 round bricks. |
| 18:48 | < Cedric> | With Palpatine on them. |
| 18:48 | < Cedric> | :D |

| 18:52 | <~Noah> | Allegedly. |
| 18:54 | < afny> | my diorama |
| 18:54 | < afny> | es reaaady |
| 18:56 | < afny> | my camera was not, though |
| 18:56 | <~Noah> | damn your cam |
| 18:56 | < afny> | I've literally switched batteries three times today |
| 18:56 | < afny> | I don't know what's going on |
| 18:57 | < Cedric> | Dollarstore batteries? |
| 18:57 | <~Noah> | Hope you have rechargables |
| 18:58 | < afny> | Welp. |

| 18:58 | < Cedric> | I approve. |
| 18:58 | < Cedric> | CHUB PARTY |
| 18:58 | < Cedric> | Also, I will make like a tree and GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. |
| 18:58 | < afny> | I wanted to call it "Chub in da Club" |
| 18:59 | < afny> | but I decided to retain some dignity |
| 18:59 | < Cedric> | Later, lovers. |
| 18:59 | < afny> | o7 |
| 18:59 | < afny> | I had to think for a minute about the headphones |
| 18:59 | < afny> | I think they came out okay |
| 18:59 | <~Noah> | Hah, I like them |
| 19:00 | <~Noah> | I like the speakers, I'm totally stealing that |
| 19:00 | < afny> | I wish I'd had enough of those big bricks to make them all black |
| 19:00 | < afny> | but they're not bad |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | The grey on black actually works well |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | Try a red round plate and see if that improves it |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | Do they have round 1x1 tiles? |
| 19:01 | < afny> | where? |
| 19:01 | < afny> | wait I'm confused |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | In the center of the speaker cones |
| 19:02 | < afny> | like a red round 1x1 plate |
| 19:02 | < afny> | ? |
| 19:02 | < afny> | they have round tiles I think but they're new, and only come in weird colors |
| 19:02 | < afny> | if I put a plate in the speaker cone it wouldn't look like a speaker anymore though |
| 19:02 | < afny> | it wouldn't look CAVERNOUS |
| 19:02 | <~Noah> | Yea, I suppose |

| 19:06 | <~Noah> | it holds days of music |

| 19:20 | < afny> | your turntable is more convincing |
| 19:20 | < afny> | I like the ridges on the tabletop |
| 19:20 | < Soren> | those 3x3 technic disks just don't get a lot of play. |
| 19:21 | < Soren> | b ut they're more or less the perfect bit. |
| 19:21 | < afny> | I only have one, and it's purple and it has a sticker of what appears to be a man's head exploding |
| 19:21 | < afny> | over and over |
| 19:21 | < afny> | it's weird. |
| 19:23 | < Soren> | very. |
| 19:23 | < Soren> | I usually prefer to get unprinted or unstickered stuff and build detail. |
| 19:24 | < afny> | all my pieces are from like 8+ years ago |
| 19:24 | < afny> | I haven't bought any bricks for MFZ yet...I've been nursing a bricklinks cart for a few days now |
| 19:24 | < Soren> | although lately I've been working on some sticker designs that I think have legs. |
| 19:25 | <~Noah> | They'll probably look better without legs |
| 19:25 | < afny> | Ced and I were talking about printing our own decals |
| 19:25 | < afny> | for my MFZ stuff I mostly want some generic weathering and some detail for 1x1 plates, like missile pod hatches and stuff |
| 19:25 | < afny> | maybe some graffiti |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | I've got a fair amount of 2x2 plate detail. |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | erm, 1x1. |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | I'm working on the 2x2s. |
| 19:26 | < afny> | I need to get like 200 dollars to blow on lego |
| 19:27 | < afny> | so I can actually just build instead of spending hours searching for some piece that I may or may not have |
| 19:27 | < afny> | and eventually finding it, but in lime green instead of something innocuous |
| 19:27 | <~Noah> | Sweet, lime green! |
| 19:27 | < Soren> | I've got a couple neat things that just happened organically, like LOCK/OPEN stickers for transparent tiles |
| 19:28 | < Soren> | in general, I think more control prints should be on transparent tiles. So I'm making it happen. |
| 19:29 | < afny> | what's your setup for printing transparent decals? |
| 19:29 | < Soren> | I'm probably going to go with the same printer Joshua did. They've been really great. |
| 19:30 | < Soren> | Right now I'm just focusing on the designs, since that's really the only part that matters. |
| 19:32 | < Soren> | And who I print with kinda depends on what I'm printing. |
| 19:41 | <~Noah> | "It's Me or the Dog" This episode has some bitch with a dog nanny |

| 19:41 | <~Noah> | WAHTTHEWHAT?! |
| 19:42 | < afny> | I'm very glad I have no idea what you're talking about |
| 19:46 | < afny> | does anyone know the part number for the minifig neck stud thing |
| 19:46 | < afny> | like the thing you hand on a minifig's neck that adds a stud to its back |
| 19:50 | < afny> | also, Soren |
| 19:50 | < afny> | how do you feel about the Headlights "and slot" brick? |
| 19:50 | < Soren> | I've never noticed a difference. |
| 19:50 | < Soren> | The slotted ones do seem to break less often, though. |
| 19:50 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42446 also. |
| 19:51 | < afny> | they are a lot cheaper |
| 19:51 | < afny> | and more in stock, apparently |
| 19:51 | < afny> | thanks for this |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | I thought I'd give it a whirl and see if I could pull it up quickly. |
| 19:52 | <~Noah> | o/ |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | turns out, it came up on my first guess. |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | But yeah, I've never noticed any difference in the way those two molds work. |
| 19:52 | < afny> | I didnt know it was called something so descriptive |
| 19:53 | <~Noah> | Who's a cool guy who saved afny some dough and has two thumbs? |
| 19:53 | < afny> | I basically wrote its title when I asked, but I figured it would be called like ANGLED PLATE WITH STUD AND HOLE |
| 19:53 | < afny> | hey |
| 19:53 | <~Noah> | O77 |
| 19:53 | < afny> | are you a cool dude |
| 19:53 | < afny> | do you have two thumbs |
| 19:53 | < Soren> | I find that Bricklink is really responsive to partial matches. |
| 19:53 | < Soren> | "Okay, I know it's this big, and there's a stud on it." |
| 19:54 | < Soren> | I like to think so, and I definitely do. |

| 19:59 | < Soren> | Go look at the Star Wars minifigs. |
| 19:59 | < Soren> | Tyr not to actually shit your pants. |
| 19:59 | < Soren> | try* |
| 19:59 | <~Noah> | Well, minifigs are technically collectible |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | That doesn't mean the prices aren't batshit insane. |
| 20:00 | < afny> | shit |
| 20:00 | < afny> | I should sell my minifigs |
| 20:00 | <~Noah> | Who does No BS Just ABS? |
| 20:00 | < afny> | they're mostly all in pieces though |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | Several people have financed their habit by buying sets and selling just the minifigs. |
| 20:00 | < afny> | i've got some gen 1 starwars minifigs if I can find all the bits |
| 20:01 | < afny> | sadly I bet I'll be missing one crucial piece for each one |
| 20:01 | < Soren> | Event he pieces can go for impressive amounts. |

| 20:10 | < afny> | I'm hearing all of this in the voice of MF DOOM |
| 20:10 | < afny> | it's very good |
| 20:10 | < Ced23Ric> | Now add a German accent. |
| 20:10 | < Soren> | Yeah, that's one of the more batshit pricings out there. |
| 20:10 | < Ced23Ric> | With Canadian taint. |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Back in the day, I would go to concerts and jump into cyphers. |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Which is just a fancy name for rap circles. |
| 20:12 | < Ced23Ric> | I was pretty big on Hiphop and rap. Nate Dogg! Warren G! WuTang! |
| 20:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Gangstarr! |
| 20:12 | < Ced23Ric> | And a couple European things, too. |
| 20:22 | <~Noah> | Holy crap, a chihuahua should be 6 lbs, this dog is 22 |
| 20:23 | <~Noah> | There's over 2 other dogs in him! |
| 20:23 | < Soren> | wow. |
| 20:23 | < Soren> | Does he just look like a change purse with tiny skinny legs, or what? |
| 20:24 | <~Noah> | More like a seal, but less behaved |
| 20:26 | < Soren> | oh joy. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | So. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | How's things? |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | I need feet. :D |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, while the mallet/claw biznas is nice and all, it don't work, actually. I need more hip articulation. |
| 20:30 | <~Noah> | The 1x1 plate with tooth? |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | So I'll try the good old clip/clip/t-piece thing. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | That'll do. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Needs 6 T pieces. But fuck it. |
| 21:00 | < Soren> | Man. I remember when those were precious rarities to be hoarded. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | I hoard them alright. |
| 21:01 | < Ced23Ric> | I have 20, 18 in use. |
| 21:01 | < Ced23Ric> | So I ordered another 40. |
| 21:01 | < Soren> | You know, I never use them that often. |
| 21:02 | < Soren> | I think I can name ten times in the last ten years. |
| 21:02 | < Soren> | Maybe. |
| 21:02 | < Ced23Ric> | They are simply a fast and easy way for a joint. |
| 21:02 | < Soren> | 'strue. |
| 21:03 | < Soren> | They make a good hip joint on my Marines, I'll give them that. |
| 21:03 | < Ced23Ric> | And with three per leg, I get a LOT of articulation in a 3 brick package. |
| 21:05 | < Soren> | Yeah, although at this scale I think after a poin t it's pretty silly to worry about articulation. |

| 21:16 | < Soren> | If you like stability, the back two 1x1 plates can be replaced with a headlight brick |
| 21:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh boy. |
| 21:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme take pictures of these legs. |
| 21:18 | < Ced23Ric> | They are way to complicated. |

| 21:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Baha. |
| 21:21 | < Ced23Ric> | So stable. |

| 21:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I hope this camera is charged. |
| 21:26 | < Noah> | Soren: What's that brick in the center of that ball turret |
| 21:26 | < Soren> | good onld 1x1 with five studs. |
| 21:26 | < Soren> | old* |
| 21:26 | < Soren> | buh. |
| 21:27 | < Noah> | It looks like the Oh, it has two black plates on either side? |
| 21:27 | < Soren> | yes. |
| 21:27 | < Noah> | Ahh, so it needs two travis bricks? |
| 21:27 | < Soren> | Ideally. |
| 21:28 | < Noah> | I'm wagering that you could replace that lower travis brick with a 3 stud 1x1? |
| 21:28 | < Soren> | you can. It'll be slightly less stable, though. |
| 21:28 | < Noah> | Does anything connect on the front and back of it? |
| 21:29 | < Soren> | I throw a 1x1 plate on the back, just to keep it traversing smoothly. |

| 21:49 | < Soren> | Man, you really did just brute-force those legs. |
| 21:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 21:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Like a fiend. |
| 21:50 | < Ced23Ric> | double-travis, triple T piece. |
| 21:50 | < Ced23Ric> | But it's SO POSABLE. |
| 21:50 | < Soren> | this is true |
| 21:50 | < Noah> | Each leg is what? 4 dollars? |
| 21:50 | < Ced23Ric> | AND it can hold that massive assault rifle without even bordering on being tipsy. |
| 21:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Noah: By my calculations ... a buck. |
| 21:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, more like 2 bucks. |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | 50 cents for the Travis bricks, 60 cents for the T piece, 20 for the clips, 30 for the tiles and slopes, 15 for the plates. |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | So, 1.75 |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Not too shabby. |
| 21:52 | < Noah> | Plus S&H~ |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | So 3.50 for two legs. The torso is another 4.50, I'd say. |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | So it's like 9 bucks a pop. |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | I'mma build 4 of those. ^_^v |
| 21:53 | < Noah> | At least it's still cheaper than most wargames |
| 21:53 | < Soren> | Well, the price falls off over time. |
| 21:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: You're not a fan, then? |
| 21:54 | < Soren> | The more Lego you have, the easier it is to make more stuff with your existing bits. |
| 21:54 | < Noah> | Right right |
| 21:54 | <@McMartin> | Cedric: That last pose is AMAZING |
| 21:54 | < Noah> | Unless you just like having 100 frames |
| 21:54 | <@McMartin> | It took me a few tries to realize that it hadn't replaced its right leg with a gun |
| 21:54 | < Soren> | Also, most wargames can't compete with my copy of Starcraft for price and convenience. |
| 21:55 | | * Soren looks over his shoulder |
| 21:55 | < Soren> | It's more like 60, here. |
| 21:55 | < Ced23Ric> | McMartin: I am so proud that it's stable. |
| 21:55 | < Ced23Ric> | It's not even wobbly. |
| 21:55 | < Ced23Ric> | I gave it that pose and it stayed stable. |
| 21:55 | < Ced23Ric> | That 1x4 plate is going a long way. |
| 21:56 | < Soren> | I have some crazyass old poses like that. Let me see... |
| 21:59 | < Soren> | dammit. I guess I don't have that picture anymore. |
| 22:00 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/275089684/ this guy balances on one leg, and I think I've managed to get him to balance on one hand. |
| 22:04 | <@McMartin> | Nice. Looks like a full-scale action figure. |
| 22:05 | < Noah> | Heh, wonder how much in parts cost he is |
| 22:05 | < Soren> | 'enough' |
| 22:05 | < Noah> | Or "I only have one" |
| 22:06 | < Soren> | those cowlings were the only expensive part, and then only because I had to order them from overseas. |
| 22:06 | < Soren> | well, yeah, that goes without saying. |
| 22:06 | < Soren> | ...although I probably have the parts for two. |
| 22:07 | < Noah> | bet finding someone with similar models like that would be difficult, or a table that size too |
| 22:09 | < Soren> | I hear they call those 'floors' |
| 22:09 | < Noah> | Or parking lots |
| 22:09 | < Soren> | heh. You'd need a go-kart to measure. |
| 22:09 | < Noah> | Units measured in time to travel |
| 22:20 | < Noah> | Hmm, I should use a python google voice API so I can send text messages to and from mf0bot and my cell |
| 22:25 | < Ced23Ric> | http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1402 |
| 22:25 | < Ced23Ric> | Aww yeah. |
| 22:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: That robot has some attitude. |
| 22:26 | < Soren> | Thanks. That was, after all, the notion. |
| 22:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, he's all swaggy. Love the pose. Well done! |
| 22:27 | < Soren> | the me of six years ago thanks you! |

| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | THose Ijad 'frames are going down. |
| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll build some later. |
| 23:03 | < Noah> | Apparently, if you exceed 2320 characters on a text message, the google voice extension for Chrome stops counting and just says "Really?" |
| 23:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Hahaha. |
| 23:06 | < Noah> | afk, cooking dinner |
| 23:08 | <@McMartin> | Excellent |

| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Uhm. |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I am so tempted by this. |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/98283.jpg?1 |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I could just buy one gajillion of those. |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | And have brick walls. |
| 23:50 | < Ced23Ric> | And a 1x2 brick makes for great cover rubble, too. |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | Yeah, but then you'd have to build yourself a house to live in, because you would have psent the rent money. |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | spent* |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | This is the paradox. |
| 23:50 | < Noah> | ! |
| 23:50 | < mf0bot> | Noah: didn't recognise |
| 23:50 | <@McMartin> | hee |
| 23:50 | | * Noah kicks mf0bot |
| 23:51 | < Noah> | What about the castle peices? |
| 23:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: They are 17 cents each. |
| 23:52 | < Soren> | hunh! |
| 23:52 | < Ced23Ric> | And I am sure I can go there and say: Gimme 100 for less than 17 bucks. Actually, gimme 200. |
| 23:52 | < Ced23Ric> | They have 4285 in stock. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | They were 35, the last time I checked. |
| 23:53 | < Ced23Ric> | In Light gray and in flesh brown. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | ...several months ago. |
| 23:53 | < Ced23Ric> | And that store is in my city. |
| 23:53 | < Noah> | They're also german |
| 23:53 | < Ced23Ric> | I could, as a matter of fact, go there on saturday. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | In that case, go for it. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | I wanna see. |
| 23:53 | < Ced23Ric> | And be like: "Peter, I want your bricks. And I want all of them." |
| 23:53 | < Ced23Ric> | He's gonna be like: WTF. |
| 23:53 | < Noah> | Do it, do it bitch! |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | And then, filthy, filthy sex. |
| 23:54 | < Noah> | Buy those bricks! We dare you! |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | I've seen enough German porno to know how this one ends. |
| 23:54 | < Ced23Ric> | 720 Euros for 4285. |
| 23:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 23:54 | < Ced23Ric> | That's a lot! |
| 23:54 | < Ced23Ric> | But maybe I do not need that many. :D |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | hunh, dark tan isn't bad either. |
| 23:55 | < Noah> | I can get about 340 in america |
| 23:55 | < Noah> | At 25c |
| 23:56 | < Soren> | You know what, fuck. it. |
| 23:56 | < Ced23Ric> | My words exactly. |
| 23:56 | < Soren> | for ten bucks I can totally do this. I'll build a little caf? or something. |
| 23:57 | < Ced23Ric> | [23:57:33] <Ced23Ric> Fuckit. |
| 23:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 23:57 | < Ced23Ric> | See, I want to build a bombed out city ... |
| 23:57 | < Ced23Ric> | I will actually go there in person and ask him how many of those he'd give me for 50 euros. |
| 23:57 | < Ced23Ric> | And he better says something higher than 300. |
| 23:58 | < Soren> | easily. |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | 60 for 8.50? you're good. |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | That was probably an act of bad judgment, but I find I don't really care. |
