| 00:01 | < afny|mac> | no funnels though |
| 00:01 | < Soren> | alas. |
| 00:01 | < Soren> | spiffy, though. |

| 00:22 | <~Noah> | Okay, so I have 35 lots on this order |
| 00:25 | < afny|mac> | is that a lot? I don't understand how lots are determined |
| 00:26 | < afny|mac> | A few stores I bought from warned not to rack up "ludicrous numbers of lots", but I wasn't sure if 20 was ludicrous. |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | Usually not, but they should specify what they consider to be too many lots |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | Because I've seen one store that charged like .25c for lots over 10 |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | Closed tab so hard |
| 00:29 | <~Noah> | Most don't mind as long as you have $1 average per lot |
| 00:29 | < afny|mac> | Is it just one lot per part? |
| 00:29 | <~Noah> | Basically |
| 00:29 | < afny|mac> | ...oh. Well I had a lot that were below a dollar. |
| 00:30 | <~Noah> | So like 3 new white travis bricks, 3 used black travis bricks, 2 used gray travis bricks would be three lots |
| 00:31 | <~Noah> | And it's okay if some are under a dollar, it's based on average |
| 00:31 | <~Noah> | If you order say, 35 lots, they like to see at least $35 subtotal or better |
| 00:32 | <~Noah> | Some stores don't care, so I just mind the splash pages and store terms pages |
| 00:32 | <~Noah> | And some stores care alot, sooo |
| 00:32 | <~Noah> | yea |
| 00:32 | <~Noah> | Yay marketplace social dynamics |
| 00:33 | < Soren> | yay, I guess. |
| 00:34 | <~Noah> | I do make exceptions when I buy all of something they have left, I figure they shouldn't need to count them if they've been inventorying correctly |
| 00:34 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=mnementh&itemID=32213509 If you need a lot of anything, this guys is both excellent and has a shit-ton of parts. |
| 00:35 | <~Noah> | God damn, 73c for a T-bar? |
| 00:36 | < afny|mac> | some of this stuff is really cheap though |
| 00:36 | < afny|mac> | 1x1 bricks with handles for instance |
| 00:36 | < afny|mac> | which I need |
| 00:36 | <~Noah> | I guess, but I need a lot of t-bars |
| 00:36 | < afny|mac> | can't ever get anything at a good deal if you only shop at one store |
| 00:36 | < afny|mac> | true in bricklink, true in life |
| 00:38 | <~Noah> | Yea, I found a pretty good store |
| 00:38 | <~Noah> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=pdx1rdr&itemID=30032533 |
| 00:39 | <~Noah> | He also has square frames~ |
| 00:39 | <~Noah> | But don't buy any, because I'm getting them all |
| 00:39 | <~Noah> | afk a bit |
| 00:40 | | * afny|mac buys them all |
| 01:10 | < Soren> | Something I have discovered about Bricklink: sometimes, if you want your parts fast and accurate, it's better to place three orders in three different shops than to buy everything in one place. |
| 01:11 | < Soren> | Both because you're less likely to have errors, and because three people pulling parts in parallel (say that three times fast and I owe you a beer) will get your stuff in the mail faster. |
| 01:12 | < afny|mac> | that's what I did |
| 01:12 | < afny|mac> | 3/4 orders shipped in two days |
| 01:12 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 01:12 | < afny|mac> | and it was way cheaper even with shipping considered |
| 01:12 | < Soren> | shipping costs are a bit of a joke. |
| 01:13 | < afny|mac> | luckily most of the stores I ordered from were just like yeah just pay us for however much the stamps cost |
| 01:13 | < Soren> | Unless you're having something FedExed, they shouldn't factor into your cost considerations. |
| 01:13 | < afny|mac> | a few of them had small packing fees, but whatever |
| 01:14 | < afny|mac> | I sort of considered them, because I wasn't spending more than 15 bucks at any given store |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | true. I've kind of surpassed the point where I need les than 20 of most parts, so I tend to make big orders less often. |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | less* |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | And I've been broke in the past. |
| 01:15 | < afny|mac> | I kind of just ordered a bunch of random stuff in the hopes that I'd be able to make one or two of any kind of frame I could design in grey and black |
| 01:15 | < Soren> | That's a good idea starting out. |
| 01:15 | < Soren> | Just get a bunch of parts that look neat and experiment. |
| 01:15 | < afny|mac> | and I'll definitely have enough with just the parts I ordered and my old bricks to field any kind of company when a game comes up |
| 01:16 | < afny|mac> | well not any kind of company...a full Ijad force would be a challenge if I wanted it to look good |
| 01:16 | < afny|mac> | but I'm more into making my own frames with these bits anyway |
| 01:16 | < afny|mac> | these new gray bits I mean |
| 01:17 | < afny|mac> | if I sort out my minifigs and get them sold, I'll use the profits to buy some accent color tiles |
| 01:17 | < afny|mac> | and wedges |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | a good, solid plan. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | The 'canonical' frame are really just meant to be guidelines in any case. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | +s |
| 01:21 | < afny|mac> | Yeah. I built my whole first company out of a different frame entirely, and only started building Chubs when I found random taps in my bin as I was sorting |
| 01:21 | < afny|mac> | I never really viewed the game as, "Well, I'm going to field a UNION army" |
| 01:22 | < afny|mac> | really now that I've started building, my interests are pretty quickly expanding into other stuff as well |
| 01:22 | < afny|mac> | I just want to build, not necessarily for mfz |
| 01:23 | < afny|mac> | (but still for that too) |
| 01:24 | | * Soren does a little fist-pump of victory. |
| 01:25 | < afny|mac> | -_- |
| 01:27 | | Whitewolf [a@Nightstar-dccd82e8.superkabel.de] has quit [Client closed the connection] |
| 01:27 | < Soren> | People who want to play the game are cool, but I was hoping we'd get a few people at least who just like making stuff. |
| 01:29 | < afny|mac> | it's definitely the making stuff aspect of the game that drew me to it in the first place |
| 01:29 | < afny|mac> | well, and the robots |
| 01:30 | < afny|mac> | I'm not what you would call a war gamer |
| 01:30 | < afny|mac> | but then again I hadn't touched my legos in years so |
| 01:30 | < afny|mac> | score. |
| 01:33 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 01:36 | < afny|mac> | so I'm trying to make that giant annoying forcefield frame, right |
| 01:36 | < afny|mac> | with the half-domes |
| 01:36 | < afny|mac> | what do you think its other two systems should be |
| 01:36 | < afny|mac> | 2y? |
| 01:37 | < afny|mac> | or 1y 1g? |
| 01:37 | < Soren> | 2y plus the green d8 seems... wow, that guy's a dick. |
| 01:37 | < afny|mac> | hm |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | a double dick if he's got all your 1-shots. |
| 01:38 | < afny|mac> | it'd be pretty hilarious |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | "Yeah I'm fast, I can spot anywhere, oh, and not only can I still shoot you, but you can't hurt the other guys cowering under my shield." |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | I"m in favor. Go for it. |
| 01:39 | < afny|mac> | I was originally thinking I'd move the shield on and off the battlefield to simulate projection, but I think that's kinda...eh...so I'm going to build it so the shield is always on |
| 01:40 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 01:45 | <~Noah> | Let's see, are there any other staple pieces I need |
| 01:46 | < afny|mac> | urgh |
| 01:46 | < afny|mac> | I have 3/4 of a dome |
| 01:48 | <~Noah> | Axle, taps, technic brick with hole, 1x1 with vertical clip, plate with thick ring, plate with clip horizontal and vertical, headlights, jumpers, some wing ends, turntables, mechanical arms, 1x1 tiles and plates, t-bars, travis bricks... |
| 01:49 | < Soren> | that should hook you up. |
| 01:50 | < Soren> | if they're not too expensive, 1x1 slopes, too. |
| 01:50 | < Soren> | superhandy |
| 01:50 | <~Noah> | Yea, some 2/3 slopes should be good |
| 01:51 | < afny|mac> | did you get |
| 01:51 | < afny|mac> | claws? |
| 01:51 | <~Noah> | Already have some |
| 01:51 | <~Noah> | Probably could use some more though |
| 01:52 | < afny|mac> | wow these quarterdomes cost a buck each |
| 01:52 | < afny|mac> | maybe I should only use 3 anyway, so other frames can actually get INSIDE the bubble |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | I was thinking it would be separate, so it could just be lifted up and set back down |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | also, glamour shots. |
| 01:54 | < afny|mac> | well it will be separate, but during a game, I'm not sure how other players would feel if I was constantly lifting up my forcefield so other frames could get in it for cover |
| 01:54 | < Soren> | I don't think there's be a scandal unless they saw some ankle. |
| 01:54 | < Soren> | -s +d |
| 01:55 | < afny|mac> | they be seein' that ankle all day |
| 01:55 | < afny|mac> | this frame is a flapper. |
| 01:55 | < Soren> | hee |
| 01:59 | < Soren> | Okay, time for some purples. |
| 02:18 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/rppfdt1dyiueplk/Sisters%20of%20the%20Dreaming%20Blade. jpg |
| 02:22 | < afny|mac> | wow, they do look good in purple |
| 02:22 | < Soren> | Yeah, I was surprised. |
| 02:22 | < afny|mac> | I always played purple protoss so I'm slightly less surprised |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | See, I always play Protoss in teal or blue. |
| 02:23 | < afny|mac> | teal protoss is good protoss too |
| 02:23 | | * Soren casts a glance towards his meager supply of teal. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | Mostly, though, Terran for me. |
| 02:23 | < afny|mac> | I haven't played since brood war and I didn't play it competetively |
| 02:24 | < afny|mac> | I think about getting into sc2 every once and a while and bringing back the purple protoss but |
| 02:24 | < afny|mac> | it's kind of a commitment |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | me neither, but I do love me some Starcraft. |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | That it is |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | well, you can look me up if you decide to drop the $60. |
| 02:24 | < afny|mac> | I will eventually, it's not the kind of game that goes away |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | I play under the username 'MightyNoms' |
| 02:25 | < afny|mac> | need a computer that doesn't randomly power off before I get a new game |
| 02:25 | < Soren> | that does seem like a good idea. |
| 02:25 | < afny|mac> | hm |
| 02:26 | < afny|mac> | I guess I could get it for this laptop |
| 02:26 | < afny|mac> | it's pretty low rent right |
| 02:26 | < afny|mac> | GPU wise? |
| 02:26 | < Soren> | with the settings cranked down, sure. |
| 02:26 | < afny|mac> | pretty sure if I buy it on battlenet I can install it on both |
| 02:27 | < afny|mac> | what league are you in? |
| 02:27 | < Soren> | You know, I don't think I've done any laddering. |
| 02:28 | < Soren> | Nothing impressive |
| 02:28 | < afny|mac> | I only vaguely know what the leagues are, I just figured I'd ask |
| 02:29 | < Soren> | Yeah, I tend to find people I can dick around with before going out to get my face rolled by 13-year-olds |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | dicking around in starcraft is the best |
| 02:29 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | actually I forgot, I did play a little bit of brood war again like two years ago |
| 02:29 | < Soren> | and the finest dickery is monobattling. |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | just with a group of friends |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | and this one guy just pissed everyone off with guardian micro |
| 02:30 | < afny|mac> | and mutalisk micro |
| 02:30 | < Soren> | mass science vessel is annoying too. |
| 02:30 | < afny|mac> | he'd just come in and wreck your base from out of range with guardians, and when people FINALLY figured out how to beat it, he just did muta |
| 02:30 | < afny|mac> | science vessel has the added benefit of the best voice clips on terran |
| 02:30 | < Soren> | precisely. |
| 02:31 | < Soren> | but Irradiate is hideous on Zerg when you have, say, thirty of them. |
| 02:31 | < afny|mac> | Ahh, I really want to play now |
| 02:31 | < afny|mac> | but I'll get so sucked in |
| 02:31 | < Soren> | and by 'hideous' I mean funny as hell.' |
| 02:32 | < Soren> | I've got BW on here somewhere, I'd be up for a quick game of around-dickery. |
| 02:32 | < afny|mac> | lemme see if I have it installed |
| 02:33 | < Soren> | I"m not playing TvP, though, just to warn you. I can't handle that shit without Marauders anymore. |
| 02:33 | < afny|mac> | I don't have it and the only disks I have right here are diablo and nwn |
| 02:33 | < afny|mac> | I'll install it tomorrow, though, if you'll be around |
| 02:34 | < Soren> | potentially! |
| 02:34 | < afny|mac> | I'll probably play zerg anyway |
| 02:34 | < Soren> | I'll have to see what's going down tomorrow. |
| 02:34 | < Soren> | but I bet I can find half an hour to get my ass stomped. |
| 02:34 | < afny|mac> | pretty sure I can find my disks, so I'll be down whenever |
| 02:35 | < afny|mac> | and you're severely overestimating my ability |
| 02:35 | < Soren> | I stumble a lot with the old interface. |
| 02:35 | < afny|mac> | Ah, since you're used to 2? |
| 02:36 | < Soren> | it'll be a comedy of errors. |
| 02:36 | < afny|mac> | I guess I don't have that PARTICULAR problem, but that doesn't mean I'm GOOD at the interface |
| 02:36 | < Soren> | Yeah. multiple building selection + worker rally spoils you. |
| 02:38 | < afny|mac> | I totally found my disks |
| 02:38 | < afny|mac> | now to see if I can install them without losing power |
| 02:40 | < Soren> | whee! |
| 02:44 | < afny|mac> | this is actually going to be embarassing |
| 02:44 | < afny|mac> | I'm not sure if I know a single matchup |
| 02:45 | < afny|mac> | and I have no muscle memory of the UI at all |
| 02:45 | < afny|mac> | i'm basically going to be playing starcraft 64 |
| 02:46 | < Soren> | Well, let's both just take it super easy. |
| 02:47 | < Soren> | me e-peen isn't on the line and neither (I hope) is yours. |
| 02:47 | < Soren> | my* |
| 02:47 | < afny|mac> | I'm not worried about getting horribly crushed, I'm just worried about breaking out in a nervous sweat. |
| 02:48 | < afny|mac> | hm |
| 02:48 | < afny|mac> | fuck |
| 02:48 | < afny|mac> | I forgot about new battlenet |
| 02:48 | < afny|mac> | how does this stuff work |
| 02:49 | < Soren> | hang on, desk covered in Lego. |
| 02:49 | < Soren> | you should be able to just go in and create a new account from the game. |
| 02:49 | < afny|mac> | oh, okay, they didn't disable that? |
| 02:51 | < afny|mac> | let me eat this pasta really quick, then I'm ready |
| 02:51 | < afny|mac> | I think that patch worked, it only took seconds |
| 02:57 | < afny|mac> | okay, let me just create an account |
| 02:57 | < afny|mac> | and I'm ready |
| 02:57 | < Soren> | okay! |
| 02:58 | < afny|mac> | hm |
| 02:58 | < afny|mac> | my colors are all fucked up |
| 02:59 | < Soren> | game name 'SandInMyPants', password 'MoF0' |
| 02:59 | < afny|mac> | what compatibility mode are you using? |
| 02:59 | < Soren> | I'll brb. |
| 02:59 | < Soren> | um. |
| 02:59 | < Soren> | I haven't the faintest. |
| 03:01 | < afny|mac> | okay, closing explorer fixed it :\ |
| 03:02 | < afny|mac> | aaaand there goes the power |
| 03:02 | < Soren> | b |
| 03:02 | < Soren> | whoops! |
| 03:03 | < afny|mac> | one more try |
| 03:04 | < afny|mac> | sometimes I wish I spent that 60 bucks on a new harddrive instead of LEGO |
| 03:04 | < afny|mac> | but then again... |
| 03:05 | < Soren> | the eternal dilemma. |
| 03:05 | < afny|mac> | It's such a first world problem I can't even consider it. |
| 03:05 | < afny|mac> | so is this on bnet |
| 03:05 | < afny|mac> | or custom |
| 03:06 | < afny|mac> | or is that only diablo, I can't see the screen |
| 03:06 | < Soren> | should be on bnet, but try both |

| 03:06 | < Soren> | I don't know how this shit works, I just draw pretty pictures ;) |
| 03:06 | < afny|mac> | yeah there is no custom, that was just a diablo thing |
| 03:06 | < afny|mac> | uh |
| 03:07 | < KarolineDianne> | Hmm? |
| 03:07 | < Soren> | attempting to set up a game of Starcraft. |
| 03:07 | < KarolineDianne> | Bleh |
| 03:08 | < Soren> | Do you also hate puppies and sunshine? |
| 03:08 | < Soren> | ;) |
| 03:08 | < KarolineDianne> | :P |
| 03:08 | < KarolineDianne> | I used to like Starcraft |
| 03:08 | < KarolineDianne> | Then I played SC2 and was sorely disappointed. |
| 03:08 | < KarolineDianne> | Probably because I got spoiled by Supreme Commander. |
| 03:09 | < Soren> | Alas, I cannot wfford to switch platforms for SupCom, so SC2 satisfies. |
| 03:09 | < Soren> | -w +a |
| 03:09 | < afny|mac> | oh |
| 03:09 | < afny|mac> | you were on WEST |
| 03:09 | < afny|mac> | duh |
| 03:09 | < Soren> | oh, duh. |
| 03:09 | < Soren> | sorry. |
| 03:09 | < afny|mac> | k, ready I guess |
| 03:10 | < Soren> | okay! |
| 03:10 | < Soren> | periscope down! |
| 03:12 | < KarolineDianne> | I was so excited for SC2, since I loved it when I was little... But after getting used to the true-scale of SupCom and how massive it is, SC2 felt... Tiny. Inadequate, and weird. Having a GIANT mech with artillery on it was cool, then I realized it's range was like, ten feet. |
| 03:12 | < KarolineDianne> | And I was like... Why |
| 03:16 | < KarolineDianne> | I'm also used to my units actually doing stuff without me specifically telling them to. So when I had a defensive line of zealots and spider-tanks next to my base, and and none of them noticed the zerg force invading... I got a little miffed. |
| 03:22 | | * KarolineDianne lobs artillery from across the 80km map until people stop being quiet... >.> |
| 03:30 | < KarolineDianne> | Question. I want to watch Votoms to give it a try. Where should I look for it? I'm having no luck searching on the gooooogle |
| 03:43 | < KarolineDianne> | OKay then, nevermind. |

| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | fuuck |
| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | well, when you see this |
| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | it powered off again |
| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | t |
| 03:44 | < Soren> | Well. That was pretty satisfying. |
| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | Yes, I imagine |
| 03:44 | < afny|mac> | haha |
| 03:44 | < Soren> | Holy shit I was winning. |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | I think it's safe to say you was WON. |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | my torrent for a mac version is almost done so if we play again |
| 03:45 | < Soren> | Yeah, just a matter of time. I had both island expansions and I was dropping tanks on 'em |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | at least we can play it all the way through |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | I learned my lesson about the medics first |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | I was so excited, I was like |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | I'LL MICRO THESE ZERGLINGS |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | KILL THE HEALERS RIGHT |
| 03:45 | < Soren> | Medics are fucking BROKEN. |
| 03:45 | < afny|mac> | no, they're unkillable GODESSES |
| 03:46 | < afny|mac> | shiit |
| 03:46 | < Soren> | too tough to kill. |
| 03:46 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 03:46 | < Soren> | whoo. |
| 03:46 | < afny|mac> | hey it dinged |
| 03:46 | < afny|mac> | MY TORRENT |
| 03:47 | < afny|mac> | well |
| 03:47 | < afny|mac> | I don't think i'll be able to help buying sc2 now |
| 03:47 | < afny|mac> | despite how absolutely atrocious that was |
| 03:47 | < Soren> | I have husbandly snuggles to administer to the wife, but I will be back for another round in a few. |

| 03:47 | < Soren> | No, that was pretty good. I out-macroed you, but you didn't actually fuck up. |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | there was a point where I was trying to unburrow a lot of zerglings |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | and then I looked at my chat and it just said |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | uuuuuuuou ouououuuuuu |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | but other than that |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | nope. |
| 03:48 | < afny|mac> | I didn't fuck up. |
| 03:50 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 03:50 | < afny|mac> | brb |
| 03:50 | < Soren> | Okay, you wanna try the same map, or something else? |
| 03:50 | < Soren> | sure. |
| 03:52 | < afny|mac> | I'm alright with any small non-island map |
| 03:52 | < afny|mac> | let me make sure this mac version works |
| 03:53 | < afny|mac> | damnit |
| 03:53 | < afny|mac> | "the cd key used for this install was intended for another product" |
| 03:53 | < afny|mac> | let me see if I can find where it's stored |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | Let's do the same one. I like that map. |
| 03:57 | < afny|mac> | well I can't figure out how to change the cd key |
| 03:57 | < afny|mac> | so I'll just start it up on the pc again |
| 03:57 | < afny|mac> | and hope it doesn't crash before something interesting happens |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | sure. give me a sec. |
| 04:02 | < afny|mac> | i'm switching to protoss btw |
| 04:02 | < afny|mac> | but don't let that frighten you |
| 04:02 | < Soren> | I think I can deal. |
| 04:02 | < Soren> | my legendary assfulness at TvP should even things out. |
| 04:03 | < Soren> | hokay. |
| 04:03 | < afny|mac> | ready whenever |
| 04:12 | | ferrelferret [ferrelferre@Nightstar-30921e32.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:17 | <~Noah> | Awwwwwjeaaah~ |
| 04:20 | < ferrelferret> | what's up? |
| 04:20 | < afny|mac> | n]]fdsfgjnasDJHahfhadvfghdsgdf.af |
| 04:20 | < afny|mac> | bhbhbsdfhbsdhf.> |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | af and I are playing Starcraft. |
| 04:20 | < afny|mac> | expletive expletive expletive |
| 04:20 | < afny|mac> | well we WERE playing starcraft. |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | yeah, his machine keeps conking out. |
| 04:21 | < afny|mac> | fuuuck there has to be a way to get this mac copy to work |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | BUT I SURVIVED THE HATEFUL ZEALOTS. |
| 04:21 | < afny|mac> | I just need to find where it stores the cd key and put a real one in there |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | I can find stuff to do for a bit if you want to dick with that. |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | I actually should go to bed soonish |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | but if I find it in the next 20 minutes I'll play again |
| 04:22 | < ferrelferret> | How can you not get the mac copy to work? |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | I feel like it won't be simple because it's running through carbon |
| 04:22 | < ferrelferret> | blizzard loves macs |
| 04:22 | < ferrelferret> | ;) |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | well I just torrented some random starcraft thing |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | like I have legit copies of sc and broodwar but I didnt tie them to a battlenet account |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | as far as I know |
| 04:22 | < afny|mac> | and my disks are windows disks |
| 04:23 | < afny|mac> | but this torrented version already has some non-legit cd key in the install |
| 04:23 | < ferrelferret> | hmm |
| 04:23 | < ferrelferret> | that be the problem with torrents |
| 04:24 | < afny|mac> | well the problem isn't the torrent, per say |
| 04:24 | < afny|mac> | because if it was a windows install I could just change the cd key |
| 04:24 | < afny|mac> | but because it's running through something called Carbon |
| 04:24 | < Soren> | You might be able to download a fresh, legit copy with a CD key. |
| 04:25 | < afny|mac> | if I knew what battle-net account I tied my CD keys to, I could |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 04:25 | < afny|mac> | well let me just try making a new one and typing in the keys |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | I wonder if it can recover them? |
| 04:25 | < afny|mac> | MAYBE it was diablo that I did that with? |
| 04:26 | < ferrelferret> | I thought the disks worked for PC and Mac out of the Box. |
| 04:26 | < ferrelferret> | i know all the warcraft ones do |
| 04:26 | < ferrelferret> | RTS and WoW |
| 04:26 | < afny|mac> | wat |
| 04:27 | < ferrelferret> | Blizzard normally puts the instals for mac and PC on their disk by default |
| 04:27 | < ferrelferret> | installs* |
| 04:29 | < afny|mac> | oh well |
| 04:29 | < afny|mac> | the battlenet thing worked |
| 04:29 | < afny|mac> | so now I have to redownload |
| 04:29 | < afny|mac> | but at least I know this one will work |
| 04:30 | < afny|mac> | it gave me the "anthology" even though I only put in my starcraft cd key |
| 04:30 | < afny|mac> | also are you sure this dual install thing existed in like |
| 04:30 | < afny|mac> | 92 |
| 04:30 | < afny|mac> | or whatever |
| 04:30 | < afny|mac> | 98 |
| 04:34 | < afny|mac> | hurb |
| 04:34 | < afny|mac> | the blizzdownloader won't open |
| 04:38 | < Soren> | 'hurb' is a fantastic noise. |
| 04:38 | < Soren> | And that is irritating. |
| 04:38 | < afny|mac> | it's a permissions problem |
| 04:38 | < afny|mac> | found a blue post about it |
| 04:41 | < afny|mac> | ugh, there is totally an easier way to fix this, blizzard dev |
| 04:43 | < afny|mac> | Well I'm "repairing permissions" through the disk utility, and if this doesn't work I'm going to try something else |
| 04:43 | < afny|mac> | but I'm probably done for the night |
| 04:43 | < afny|mac> | if we actually play another game I'll be all amped up on starcraft at 12:30 |
| 04:43 | < afny|mac> | which won't end well for me |
| 04:43 | < Soren> | yeah, that sounds like a good idea. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | well played, sir. |
| 04:44 | < afny|mac> | ONE DAY we will actually FINISH a game. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 04:44 | < afny|mac> | But indeed, well macroed. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | heh |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | That's more or less how I play. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | "Oh, you have stuff? well I will get MORE STUFF." |
| 04:45 | < afny|mac> | that's pretty much my only strategy for protoss as well |
| 04:45 | < afny|mac> | for zerg all I knew how to do was 6pool rush |
| 04:45 | < afny|mac> | after that, I was like |
| 04:45 | < afny|mac> | wtf is a defiler |
| 04:45 | < Soren> | yeeeah. |
| 04:45 | < Soren> | ZvT is a rough matchup in brood war, though. |
| 04:46 | < Soren> | between medics and tanks I can murder your guys all day. |
| 04:46 | < Soren> | While teching. |
| 04:46 | < afny|mac> | yeah I had no plan for siege tanks |
| 04:46 | < afny|mac> | with protoss I would just build archons or something |
| 04:47 | < afny|mac> | what do you do against tanks with zerg even |
| 04:47 | < Soren> | Defiler+zergling drops. |
| 04:47 | < afny|mac> | yeah I guess I should actually learn what a defiler IS. |
| 04:47 | < Soren> | but it better be mass Defiler. |
| 04:48 | < Soren> | Dark Swarm cancels out all ranged attacks, so you gotta love the fucker to death. |
| 04:48 | < Soren> | Eat zerglings often. They're crunchy. |
| 04:49 | < afny|mac> | well this repair permissions thing did not work |
| 04:49 | < Soren> | irritating. |
| 04:51 | < afny|mac> | I can try repairing permissions on reboot |
| 04:51 | < afny|mac> | but I'll do that later |
| 04:51 | | ferrelferret [ferrelferre@Nightstar-30921e32.fios.verizon.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Leaving] |
| 04:51 | < afny|mac> | and I know there's a way to do it with the console, because I had this same issue with a minecraft exe |
| 04:51 | < Soren> | Yeah, I think we hit the limit of friendly play. |
| 04:51 | < Soren> | Next match was probably going to get a little mean-spirited. |
| 04:51 | < afny|mac> | well I think it depends how that match ended |
| 04:51 | < afny|mac> | it probably had the potential to turn sour before it was over haha |
| 04:52 | < Soren> | Yeah, that one was up in the air. |
| 04:52 | < Soren> | If I managed to macro up a tougher mech/air army, I mighta had a shot at steamrollering you. |
| 04:52 | < afny|mac> | I randomly put that pylon at an expansion that I wasn't even headed to |
| 04:52 | < afny|mac> | which kind of fucked me, but I could've MAYBE recovered |
| 04:52 | < afny|mac> | like I didn't realize I had built it |
| 04:52 | < Soren> | Or you could have gone for Dark Templar right away and given me a shitload of trouble. |
| 04:53 | < Soren> | I think I had enough turrets up to deal with it, but it woulda been hairy. |
| 04:53 | < afny|mac> | once I saw the firebats I was headed for DT but I had been headed for robo before that |
| 04:53 | < Soren> | Yeah, I had detection up fast in case you went there. |
| 04:53 | < Soren> | I was worried about Zealot or Cannon rushes. |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | I decided not to rush again, but I should've |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | I had a lot of zealots early, but I just turtled with them |
| 04:54 | < Soren> | Zealot rushes are broken against terran. |
| 04:54 | < Soren> | Seriously hard to handle. |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | I really just don't know what's strong |
| 04:54 | < Soren> | I'm remembering. |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | I played multiplayer in like 99, and only with two friends |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | never seriously on bnet |
| 04:54 | < afny|mac> | and then I played like eight matches two years ago |
| 04:55 | < Soren> | I started play my GF again I think... yeah, 2010. |
| 04:55 | < Soren> | Then we switched to SC2. |
| 04:55 | < afny|mac> | I've considered it several times since launch, but I've always held off |
| 04:55 | < Soren> | then we got married and now I can't play against her because it would probably result in divorce ;) |
| 04:55 | < afny|mac> | Haha yeah it's not healthy. |
| 04:56 | < Soren> | I have a nuke problem. |
| 04:56 | < Soren> | I just.. I can't stop. |
| 04:56 | < afny|mac> | I mean, once you build it... |
| 04:56 | < afny|mac> | ..you pretty much have to fire it. |
| 04:56 | < Soren> | ...why not drop it on every mineral line simultaneously? |
| 04:56 | < Soren> | Why not rush to it? |
| 04:57 | < Soren> | Why not just go completely bonkers with it? |
| 04:57 | < Soren> | Because that's the thought process/ |
| 04:57 | < afny|mac> | n-n-n-...-nuclear launch detected. |
| 04:57 | < Soren> | Well, and I usually go for the nuke rush to get a commanding lead in economy |
| 04:57 | < afny|mac> | so what's different about sc2 |
| 04:58 | < Soren> | - no medics, thank FUCK. There's a medivac dropship instead. |
| 04:58 | < afny|mac> | I mean I know some of the new units I guess, but overall I hear there's way less room for micro |
| 04:58 | < afny|mac> | I dont know anything about new zerg |
| 04:58 | < Soren> | I dunno. There's less room for really decisive micro. |
| 04:58 | < Soren> | But there's tons of room for micro. |
| 04:59 | < Soren> | It's just that it's much easier to split your attention to counter-micro. |
| 04:59 | < Soren> | (anybody who doesn't want to hear this: we can take it to /msg if you need.) |
| 04:59 | < afny|mac> | I'm not sure anyone is here. Is anyone here? Karoline got mad and left when we joined out last game it looks like... |
| 05:00 | < afny|mac> | Oh...she wanted to know where to find VOTOMS |
| 05:00 | < afny|mac> | WE FAILED HER. |
| 05:00 | < Soren> | I think she was gonna get mad regardless. |
| 05:00 | < afny|mac> | Yeah probably. |
| 05:00 | < afny|mac> | Man, fuck supreme commander |
| 05:00 | < afny|mac> | that game is so laggy on even the best computer |
| 05:01 | < afny|mac> | I actually played it a lot, but it's just so ridiculous |
| 05:01 | < afny|mac> | because to compensate for the lag, it just slows the game clock down |
| 05:01 | < afny|mac> | so by the end of a round, you're moving at like 8 seconds=1 ingame second |
| 05:01 | < Soren> | Yeah, I'm waiting until it's something I can actually play on a machine I own. |
| 05:02 | < Soren> | so, ten years, most likely. |
| 05:02 | < afny|mac> | in ten years it probably just won't be supported by any OS |
| 05:02 | < Soren> | Well, yeah, like my old copy of TA. |
| 05:02 | < afny|mac> | I bet you big money that more computers can be made to run TA than they can SupCom |
| 05:03 | < Soren> | I'm cure. |
| 05:03 | < Soren> | sure* |
| 05:04 | < afny|mac> | I don't know, gameplay wise |
| 05:04 | < afny|mac> | I guess it was pretty fun |
| 05:05 | < Soren> | I think it's aimed at someone much more hardcore than I am. |
| 05:05 | < afny|mac> | well I think starcraft is a much more "hardcore" experience |
| 05:05 | < Soren> | different kind of hardcore. |
| 05:05 | < afny|mac> | yeah, okay |
| 05:05 | < Soren> | I know SC, so it's something I can have a pickup game of. |
| 05:05 | < afny|mac> | you mean like "hardcore pc gamer"? |
| 05:05 | < afny|mac> | or like |
| 05:06 | < Soren> | But I no longer really have the desire to spend a month getting passable at a game. |
| 05:06 | < afny|mac> | hardcore been playing TA for years |
| 05:06 | < afny|mac> | I'm actually afraid that's what would happen to me if I started playing SC2 |
| 05:07 | < Soren> | I'm not going to spend enough time with a game as complex as that to really get the most out of it. |
| 05:08 | < Soren> | Mmm, I had about six months where it was my go-=to entertainment when bored. |
| 05:08 | < Soren> | -= |
| 05:10 | < afny|mac> | Have you played the campaign? |
| 05:10 | < afny|mac> | I mean, I assume |
| 05:10 | < afny|mac> | but some people never touch it |
| 05:10 | < Soren> | Yeah, it's pretty nice. |
| 05:10 | < Soren> | lots of campaign-only units, some amusing challenges. |
| 05:11 | < Soren> | Multiplayer is really where the fun is, though. |
| 05:11 | < afny|mac> | definitely, my interest in the campaign is 100% fueled by nostalgia |
| 05:12 | < Soren> | It's worht it, though. |
| 05:12 | < Soren> | worth* |
| 05:14 | < Soren> | I think the rebalancing of the game is a lot more enticing, though. Most of the really exploity stuff in BW has been smoothed out.. |
| 05:14 | < afny|mac> | Yeah, it seemed that way |
| 05:14 | < Soren> | there are a lot more options in the early game, too. |
| 05:15 | < afny|mac> | I watched a few Day9 dailies when I was thinking about getting it before, and he talked about some of the changes |
| 05:15 | < Soren> | Ah, yes. |
| 05:15 | < Soren> | I'm a fan. |
| 05:15 | < afny|mac> | He's pretty great even if you have no idea what starcraft is |
| 05:15 | < Soren> | I just really appreciates the way he breaks down strategic thinking. |
| 05:16 | < Soren> | "Here's stuff I can tell you, and here's stuff you should go try until you feel it." |
| 05:17 | < Soren> | Also, monobattles are super fun. |
| 05:17 | < Soren> | even just to watch. |
| 05:18 | < afny|mac> | I might just start watching some games before I buy it |
| 05:18 | < afny|mac> | that way I could feel like I was getting better without actually getting better |
| 05:19 | < afny|mac> | I don't think I'd learn much from watching a monobattle though |
| 05:19 | < afny|mac> | but I COULD BE WRONG |
| 05:19 | < Soren> | https://blip.tv/day9tv/day-9-daily-354-p1-funday-monday-more-monobattles-5612056 |
| 05:19 | < afny|mac> | I guess I'd learn a lot about one unit |
| 05:19 | < Soren> | Try this one. These are some super funny games. |
| 05:20 | < Soren> | The thing about monobattles that I didn't notice for a while is that they make you focus on all the non-combat elements of the game a lot more. |
| 05:20 | < Soren> | You have to macro well, you have to coordinate with your team much more, and you have to have good scouting and situational awareness. |
| 05:21 | < afny|mac> | good points |
| 05:23 | < afny|mac> | he's overwhelming me with positivity |
| 05:23 | < Soren> | haha |
| 05:26 | < afny|mac> | hahaha |
| 05:26 | < afny|mac> | a verb he used to try to look tough. |
| 05:26 | < Soren> | these are all incredibly funny games. |
| 05:26 | < Soren> | Just wait for the Forrest Gump references. |
| 05:27 | < afny|mac> | haha wow it just slipped in |
| 05:34 | < afny|mac> | the counter is to just go fucking kill 'em |
| 05:34 | < Soren> | it is. |
| 05:34 | < Soren> | You can force them to transition into 'losing their whole fucking base.' |
| 05:34 | < Soren> | A popular build, that one. |
| 05:45 | < afny|mac> | my god he's still laughing about his wheelchair joke |
| 05:46 | < Soren> | that was not a proud moment, but it did earn a horrified giggle. |
| 06:07 | < afny|mac> | wow why didn't he do this team color code thing for the first game |
| 06:07 | < Soren> | because eternal hate for your eyes, I think. |
| 06:08 | < Soren> | Now I'm wondering how the monobattling style of play would adapt to MF0. It seems like a 3v3 team game, where everybody gets 3-5 units, could be a balst. |
| 06:08 | < Soren> | blast* |
| 06:08 | < afny|mac> | Teams of some sort, at least, should be incorporated |
| 06:08 | < Soren> | of course, at worst, it could result in 30 guys on the field an a record-keeping nightmare. |
| 06:09 | < Soren> | and* |
| 06:09 | < afny|mac> | whether or not it's actually a monobattle where you can only use one type of frame |
| 06:09 | < Soren> | so maybe limit it to 2-4 guys. |
| 06:09 | < Soren> | Well, with that few units, it forces coordination the same way |
| 06:09 | < afny|mac> | true |
| 06:09 | < Soren> | I could see either approach working. |
| 06:09 | < afny|mac> | how would you calc initiative though |
| 06:09 | < afny|mac> | just treat each team as one company? |
| 06:10 | < afny|mac> | or count initiative separately regardless of friend/foe status |
| 06:10 | < Soren> | that's one way, yeah. |
| 06:10 | < Soren> | counting initiative separately could get to be a pain but it might also be super funny. |
| 06:11 | < afny|mac> | I think it'd probably be a bit deeper |
| 06:11 | < Soren> | yeah. I'm not sure if it results in more fun or not, though. |
| 06:11 | < Soren> | I think it's neutral, or close enough between the two options that only playtesting could tell us. |
| 06:27 | < Soren> | Hmm. You'd also have to field joint objectives. |
| 06:27 | < Soren> | Maybe... 4? |
| 06:28 | < Soren> | That might be the balancing, that everybody tracks destroyed frames individually, but objectives jointly. |
| 06:28 | < Soren> | I'll have to run this by J. |
| 06:39 | < afny|mac> | definitely worth playtesting |
| 06:42 | < Soren> | I bet it would be the funniest con game. two teams of three rushing to put the hurt on each other. |
| 06:43 | < Soren> | But nobody having *quite* enough to administer the hurt alone. |
| 06:45 | < afny|mac> | it could get nasty. |
| 06:45 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 06:45 | < Soren> | maybe 2v2 as a test case, first. |
| 06:46 | < Soren> | 3v3 might just be too unwieldy. |
| 06:49 | < afny|mac> | It could be cool, but chances are it would just be a little slow from the individual player's perspective |
| 06:49 | < afny|mac> | and if you get knocked out early it's even worse |
| 06:49 | < Soren> | yeah. YOu'd want snacks on hand. |
| 06:50 | < Soren> | My secret strategy: get knocked out early so I can eat all the munchables. |
| 06:50 | < afny|mac> | devious |
| 06:50 | < Soren> | Very. |
| 06:56 | < Soren> | Man. I got all these trans=purple cones, and now I can't figure out what to do with them. |
| 06:56 | < Soren> | Even with all this trans-purple fire. |
| 06:56 | < afny|mac> | Were they mostly for that Ijad company? |
| 06:57 | < Soren> | That and because I thought 'this colors is cool, I bet I can do something with it' |
| 06:57 | < afny|mac> | Make some tan frames with trans-purple weaponry |
| 06:57 | < Soren> | mm. That's an option. |
| 06:57 | < afny|mac> | those are two great tastes that taste great together |
| 06:58 | < Soren> | yeah. dark blue + tan would be even better. |
| 06:59 | < afny|mac> | Don't know how you'd use up a bunch of cones in one frame, though |
| 06:59 | < afny|mac> | I don't think they look good if they aren't contained by other bricks |
| 07:00 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 07:00 | < afny|mac> | not cones in general, but transparent ones |
| 07:00 | < Soren> | maybe some kind of quad blaster assembly, but otherwise I got nothing |
| 07:01 | < afny|mac> | the most clear cones I've used in a frame so far is four, in two separate railguns |
| 07:02 | < afny|mac> | or blasters that look like railguns, it's not really clear |
| 07:03 | < afny|mac> | you could cap the bottom of some cones with a gray 1 x 1 round plate |
| 07:03 | < afny|mac> | and somehow do an ammo or grenade belt |
| 07:03 | < afny|mac> | or a bandolier, but that might be a lot harder |
| 07:04 | < afny|mac> | I just got a ton of trans-blue cylinders and I was thinking about making some plasma grenades-on-sticks and making a belt out of them |
| 07:04 | < Soren> | Yeah, that usually looks pretty good. |
| 07:05 | < Soren> | I've got a quad gun I think I like. |
| 07:05 | < afny|mac> | is it like that tri-barrel one? |
| 07:05 | < Soren> | mm? I don't think so? |
| 07:06 | < afny|mac> | i'm not entirely sure what gun I'm thinking of |
| 07:06 | < afny|mac> | it may not exist |
| 07:06 | < afny|mac> | I think I'm going to head to bed |
| 07:06 | < afny|mac> | good luck with your purple, and good games. |

| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | Mornan'. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. I think I wanna tackle the Iguana again. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | See what I can do with it. |
| 15:53 | <~Noah> | Do it |
| 15:53 | <~Noah> | Ceddo, I need a hug |
| 15:53 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 15:53 | | * Ceddo hugs Noah. |
| 15:54 | <~Noah> | I remembered that Monday is Memorial day in America and I probably won't get my new pieces until Wednesday |
| 15:54 | < Ceddo> | ... that's harsh. |
| 15:55 | <~Noah> | If I had class that day, I'd be out, but I don't even have class on Monday, so it's just a long boring weekend for me |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | I pose a challenge. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | Take a 'frame that you like, of someone else. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | Rebuild it, with your own take of it. |
| 15:57 | <~Noah> | I'll see what I can do |
| 15:58 | < Ceddo> | We could tackle something together. |
| 15:58 | <~Noah> | Well, I lack that certain part for the chub torso |
| 15:59 | < Ceddo> | Which one? |
| 15:59 | <~Noah> | And Dawnie6 STILL isn't getting back with me |
| 15:59 | <~Noah> | 3700, 1x2 technic brick with 1 hole |
| 15:59 | < Ceddo> | That one is a bitch to replace. |
| 15:59 | < Ceddo> | BUT. |
| 15:59 | < Ceddo> | Hear me out. |
| 16:00 | < Ceddo> | Do you have, by any chance, a 1x2 jumper and either a headlight or a 1x1 technic /w hole brick? |
| 16:00 | <~Noah> | Yes and yes to headlight, no 1x1 techic with hole |
| 16:01 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 16:01 | < Ceddo> | Take the 1x2 plate off the 1x2 plate /w arms, of the backmodule. |
| 16:01 | < Ceddo> | Put the jumper there. |
| 16:01 | < Ceddo> | Put the hl brick there, with the open stud pointing up. |
| 16:01 | < Ceddo> | So the back opening points down. |
| 16:02 | < Ceddo> | Then, you put another jumper over the taps. |
| 16:02 | < Ceddo> | And you should now have a 1x2 stud connection in the middle of the torso. |
| 16:02 | < Ceddo> | Prolly need to level the lower one out with a 1x1 plate. |
| 16:02 | < Ceddo> | Or you could use a 1x3 plate and make it a wider chest. |
| 16:03 | < Ceddo> | Or slap a 2x3 plate (or anything that connects in the middle to 2 studs) on there. |
| 16:03 | < Ceddo> | Problem solved. |
| 16:03 | < Ceddo> | You might even come up with a cool chub variant from that. |
| 16:11 | <~Noah> | Ah, gotcha |
| 16:11 | <~Noah> | Took me a moment to puzzle it out |
| 16:11 | < Ceddo> | Should work like a charm. Maybe a BIT more instable. |
| 16:13 | <~Noah> | Lemme post a pick of it to show you to make sure I'm doing it right, having a bit of issue with the arm now |
| 16:13 | < Ceddo> | Alrightey. |
| 16:20 | <~Noah> | http://goo.gl/ANQ9v |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | Yupp! |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Just like so. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | That work for you? |
| 16:44 | <~Noah> | Top of the headlight brick is stopping the claws from moving arond the tap |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Oh wait. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | I meant sideways. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Not upright. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Lay it on it's back. |
| 16:45 | <~Noah> | hokay |
| 16:45 | < Ceddo> | And you can that frontal 2x2 out, too. |
| 17:00 | <~Noah> | http://goo.gl/PXZuR |

| 17:30 | < afny|mac> | did someone say...wacky... |
| 17:31 | < afny|mac> | there is a dangerous amount of crossover between |
| 17:31 | < afny|mac> | my lego bin...and my clothes bin |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | Yea, there are places you don't want lego, trust me |

| 17:32 | < afny|mac> | place number one is the washing machine |
| 17:32 | < afny|mac> | haha that jetpack |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | :P |
| 17:33 | < afny|mac> | I actually kinda like this guy's profile...you should greeble up those travis in his shins |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | I will, waiting for proper greebles in the mail |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | For both the gun and general frames |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | I really like that gun |
| 17:33 | <~Noah> | It's just so mean looking |
| 17:33 | < afny|mac> | is there gonna be stuff on the top? |
| 17:34 | < Ceddo> | Hah! |
| 17:34 | < Ceddo> | I am done. |
| 17:34 | <~Noah> | Possibly |
| 17:34 | < Ceddo> | I dub this 'Frame the "Castellan". |
| 17:34 | < afny|mac> | it's a quad, right? |
| 17:34 | <~Noah> | Yes |
| 17:34 | < afny|mac> | I like the design but it doesn't look good held out at arms length like that |
| 17:34 | < afny|mac> | it looks like it weighs more than the frame |
| 17:35 | <~Noah> | Yea, I need to make it look more like a minigun, held to the side some how |
| 17:35 | <~Noah> | Or give it a kickstand |
| 17:37 | < afny|mac> | is it a new design, Ced? |
| 17:37 | < Ceddo> | Well, I took the Iguana. |
| 17:37 | < Ceddo> | And then, I changed the entire torso, back, arms. |
| 17:37 | < Ceddo> | Gave it a massive stormshield and a halberd. |
| 17:38 | < afny|mac> | you're all about those stormshields |
| 17:38 | < Ceddo> | Integrated a minigun into the chest and a shoulder mounted rocket launcher. |
| 17:38 | < afny|mac> | I found some blue spears that are just like those blue axes you have |
| 17:38 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I LOVE stormshields. |
| 17:38 | < Ceddo> | This one is more of a tower shield, though. |
| 17:38 | < afny|mac> | I've been into CHAIR shields |
| 17:38 | < afny|mac> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7275825258/in/pool-438009@N25 |
| 17:38 | < Ceddo> | Gonna be a RdRdRhRhBBWW 'frame. A bodyguard. |
| 17:39 | < afny|mac> | I'm making a bbyygd8ww ASSHOLE frame...with a giant forcefield dome |
| 17:39 | < afny|mac> | soren told me to give it all my company's SSRs as well |
| 17:39 | < Ceddo> | Flamethrower? :D |
| 17:39 | < afny|mac> | nah it's just got a very very large forcefield |
| 17:40 | < afny|mac> | like the size of six frames |
| 17:40 | < Ceddo> | Also, R, then Y, then B, then G, then W, then SSR. Seems to become the standard in the forums. |
| 17:40 | < afny|mac> | and it doesn't risk damage when it gives them cover |
| 17:40 | < Ceddo> | So, yybbGww |
| 17:40 | < afny|mac> | really? weird...I usually go by the rulebook order |
| 17:40 | < afny|mac> | and y is always last |
| 17:40 | < afny|mac> | because you place it last, but I guess you consider it first if it's already placed? |
| 17:41 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, you'd think that alphabet would be BGRYW |
| 17:41 | < Ceddo> | But it seems that people put R first (sorted arty, df, hth), then YBG. |
| 17:41 | < Ceddo> | And SSRs at the end of it. |
| 17:43 | < afny|mac> | I wasnt going alphabetical |
| 17:43 | < afny|mac> | its just like, in the dice assign order in the pdf |
| 17:43 | < afny|mac> | it's red, blue, green, yellow |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | Oh, okay. |
| 17:44 | < afny|mac> | I sort of understand the grouping of y and r together though because they're both "offensive" |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Crushed the 4 Conscripts. |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Sorted all parts away. |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Castellan finished. |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | -4 +1 |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Good times. |
| 17:50 | < Ceddo> | Debating on tackling something else next, but I am out of Travis bricks in black and dark grey. |
| 17:51 | < Ceddo> | Only light grey's left, and I really don't like light grey. :D |
| 17:51 | < Ceddo> | But there's another 25 travis bricks incoming. |
| 17:51 | < afny|mac> | god |
| 17:51 | < afny|mac> | I have like 30 total |
| 17:51 | < afny|mac> | take pictures of the Castellan |
| 17:52 | < afny|mac> | I'm imagining it being piloted by thisguy |
| 17:52 | < afny|mac> | http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/c/c7/Castellan.jpg |
| 17:52 | < Ceddo> | Alrightey. |
| 17:52 | < Ceddo> | I need to put him next to something to guard. |
| 17:52 | < Ceddo> | Maybe the Naga. |
| 17:52 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 17:57 | < Ceddo> | I made that bitch pose. |
| 17:57 | <~Noah> | http://goo.gl/l7bOZ - After first test firing, pilot went temporarily deaf and is now in recovery |
| 18:00 | < afny|mac> | looks much cooler on the arms |
| 18:01 | < afny|mac> | hm |
| 18:01 | < afny|mac> | I have a bad feeling that if I torrent this |
| 18:01 | < afny|mac> | SIXTY GB Nadia folder |
| 18:01 | < afny|mac> | I might hit some invisible bandwidth usage cap |
| 18:04 | <~Noah> | I'm not aware of them having a cap, but that doesn't really mean much |
| 18:04 | <~Noah> | brb |
| 18:05 | < afny|mac> | it depends on your ISP |
| 18:06 | < afny|mac> | the suspense is killing me Ced |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | Sorry. |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | I was busy goofing about. |

| 18:08 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st13_castellan_b3.png |
| 18:09 | < afny|mac> | wow |
| 18:11 | < afny|mac> | that's really sweet |
| 18:11 | < afny|mac> | the angle of the chest/head |
| 18:11 | < afny|mac> | and the way the shoulders attach on the back to create such a striking posture |
| 18:11 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, like I said: Took the Iguana and redesigned it. |
| 18:12 | < afny|mac> | this isn't a criticism, so much, but I actually think you could get away with less wedges |
| 18:12 | < Ceddo> | I think, the shoulders to upper arms and the legs are the only hing that survived. |
| 18:12 | < Ceddo> | Oh, I know. |
| 18:12 | < Ceddo> | But I have like 150 of them. |
| 18:12 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 18:12 | < afny|mac> | I think it might look better with tiles in some places |
| 18:12 | < Ceddo> | Used all the tiles I had - 8. ^^ |
| 18:12 | < afny|mac> | ah, okay |
| 18:13 | < afny|mac> | it's really aptly named as well |
| 18:13 | < afny|mac> | definitely a fortress guard feel |
| 18:14 | < afny|mac> | fff I want my parts to gethere |
| 18:15 | < afny|mac> | how many bricks is that shield? |
| 18:15 | < afny|mac> | could a chub hold it without falling over? |
| 18:15 | < Ceddo> | Since the weight attaches at the far most forward point and the goes back ... maybe. |
| 18:15 | < afny|mac> | it'd be alright if it had to rest on the ground, maybe |
| 18:16 | < afny|mac> | I'm making a NUCLEAR DELIVERY CHUB for a special campaign |
| 18:16 | < Ceddo> | To short for that. |
| 18:16 | < afny|mac> | based on this |
| 18:16 | < Ceddo> | But you could make it even taller. |
| 18:16 | < Ceddo> | It's a 2x5 and another 2x5 connected with 1x1 clip plates and 1x2 bar plates. |
| 18:16 | < afny|mac> | http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RX-78GP02A_Gundam_%22Physalis%22 |
| 18:16 | < afny|mac> | I guess it's not in this picture but that gundam has a huge ass shield |
| 18:17 | < Ceddo> | I honestly think Gundam is about as appealing as what I left in the toilet this morning. |
| 18:17 | < Ceddo> | And I had a gooood party last night. |
| 18:17 | < afny|mac> | Soren and I had this argument with Karoline yesterday |
| 18:17 | < afny|mac> | Gundam has its good and its bad |
| 18:17 | | Soren|Away is now known as Soren |
| 18:18 | < afny|mac> | saying "Gundam isn't appealing" is like saying "Rap isn't appealing" or "Country isn't appealing" |
| 18:18 | < afny|mac> | Gundam is practically its own genre. |
| 18:18 | < afny|mac> | anyway I'm just making a chub with big feet and a bazooka |
| 18:18 | < afny|mac> | and he needs a shield, so I might steal parts of that one |
| 18:18 | < afny|mac> | the decorated 1x2 slope thingies for sure, on the top and bottom |
| 18:18 | < Soren> | Yeah, the only way to get a sense of what you're going to like is find someone into it with similar taste to your own and ask them what they think you should watch. |
| 18:19 | < Soren> | (hilariously, I had to have this argument with Joshua, too.) |
| 18:19 | < Ceddo> | By the way, a Castellan is someone who runs and guards a castle in absence of the owner. The captain of the watch, or the treasurer, or a noble vassal in high standing, often with wisdom of age would be that castellan. |
| 18:19 | < afny|mac> | I know, that's why I said it was APTLY NAMED |
| 18:19 | < Ceddo> | So, someone who doesn't freak or yield in case of a siege. :D |
| 18:19 | < Soren> | Then I made him watch 0083 and First Gundam and he was like: 'did.... did I just not see *any* of the good stuff?' |
| 18:19 | < Ceddo> | The other option was "Custodian". |
| 18:19 | < afny|mac> | Well yeah, because they didn't play Stardust Memory on "Toonami" |
| 18:20 | < afny|mac> | Glad you went with Castellan |
| 18:20 | < Ceddo> | Samesies. |
| 18:20 | < afny|mac> | Custodian has noble latin roots, but it just means janitor. |
| 18:22 | < afny|mac> | urgh |
| 18:22 | < afny|mac> | I found a more sanely encoded Nadia torrent...but it's in Italian. |
| 18:23 | < afny|mac> | also, I just realized Adblock is missing...I was so confused by all these ads |
| 18:23 | < afny|mac> | but they just didn't register |
| 18:26 | < Ceddo> | Well, Custodian would also be the elite guard of the God Emperor in WH40k. |
| 18:26 | < Ceddo> | So I rather dodge that. |
| 18:27 | < afny|mac> | Elite janitors of the God Emperor maybe. |
| 18:28 | < afny|mac> | so what Gundam shows/movies have you seen |
| 18:28 | < afny|mac> | to compare it to your post-revel bowel movements |
| 18:36 | < Ceddo> | Not a single consecutive show. |
| 18:36 | < Ceddo> | Just snippets, AMVs, wikipages, minifigs, etc. |
| 18:36 | | * Soren feigns shock. |
| 18:37 | < Ceddo> | I really like the militaristic feel of Mechas. I'm a BattleTech kid. |
| 18:37 | < Ceddo> | Self proclaimed Clan Wolf in Exile Warden. :D |
| 18:37 | < Ceddo> | Also, my old license plate was CW 3057. |
| 18:37 | | * Soren yawns |
| 18:37 | < Ceddo> | Oh, shush it, you. |
| 18:38 | < Soren> | Battletech puts me to sleep. I love wrodlbuilding, but they forgot to do any. |
| 18:38 | < Soren> | world* |
| 18:38 | < afny|mac> | if you are really judging Gundam |
| 18:38 | < afny|mac> | from AMVs |
| 18:38 | < afny|mac> | I just... |
| 18:38 | < afny|mac> | I just don't know anymore. |
| 18:38 | < afny|mac> | I JUST DON'T KNOW. |
| 18:38 | < Soren> | The gods cannot save you. |
| 18:39 | < afny|mac> | I mean, do they even MAKE AMVs with any Gundams other than Wing or SEED? |
| 18:39 | < afny|mac> | (The bad ones) |
| 18:39 | < Soren> | I have a First Gundam AMV set to 'La Resistance' from the old South Park movie. |
| 18:39 | < Soren> | But I think that's it. |
| 18:40 | < Ceddo> | Eh, meh. |
| 18:41 | < Ceddo> | I really have no heart for a Mecha with 500 wings, antennas, turbo-cell-plasma-accelerator-lance-combustion-phasers and swords the size of skyscrapers. |
| 18:41 | < Soren> | ...have you actually PLAYED battletech? |
| 18:41 | < Ceddo> | Oh, and of course, energy whips. |
| 18:41 | < Soren> | And seen all the goofy melee weapons in there? |
| 18:42 | < Ceddo> | Hatchets, axes, fists, claws, large hands..? |
| 18:42 | < Ceddo> | Melee isn't really a forte of BattleTech. :D |
| 18:42 | < Soren> | no, but it's in there. |
| 18:42 | < Ceddo> | I mean, why run up to someone if you can just blast him with an LBX AC20 and watch his armor go *poof* ? |
| 18:43 | < Soren> | If you wanna get into the realism discussion, target silhouette defeats us all. |
| 18:43 | < Ceddo> | Or use 3 LBX AC5 and fire them in sequence to literally saw through a leg. |
| 18:43 | < Ceddo> | Much more efficient. |
| 18:43 | < Ceddo> | Melee makes no sense. At all. |
| 18:43 | < Soren> | nope! |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | I guess they bothered because of their roots. |
| 18:44 | < Soren> | I'm not defnding either on the basis of realism. |
| 18:44 | < Soren> | defending* |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | Well, I am parts personal appeal. |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | If something strikes me as inefficient, I am sceptical. |
| 18:44 | < Soren> | I'm saying neither is, but one has tricked you into thinking so, because you're in fakey grit. |
| 18:44 | < Soren> | into* |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | And, no. |
| 18:44 | < Ceddo> | Slight correction there. |
| 18:45 | < Ceddo> | Fighty robots are stupid. |
| 18:45 | < Ceddo> | Like, the entire basis of a walking weapons platform is outright retarded. |
| 18:45 | < Soren> | generally! |
| 18:45 | < Soren> | That's what I said, yes. |
| 18:45 | < Ceddo> | Recoil, silouette, complexity, etc. - none of it makes sense. |
| 18:45 | < Ceddo> | But AT LEAST Battletech does it in a fakey gritty tanky militaristic way. |
| 18:46 | < Soren> | VOTOMs does it better. |
| 18:46 | < Ceddo> | I'm not saying it's the only universe that does, though. |
| 18:46 | < Ceddo> | See, VOTOMS is a blank page with me. |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | Sorry, I sort of instigated this argument and totally checked out...I was drawing an arms dealer |
| 18:49 | < Soren> | 'sfine |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | the thing is, like |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | okay, I havent played ALL that much battletech shit |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | I played a little bit of 2 a LONG time ago |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | and I played 4, which I know everyone hates |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | mechwarrior that is |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | and I read some like battletech books |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | at a game store |
| 18:49 | < afny|mac> | when I was bored |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | and never bought any |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | but I can't tell you a single thing about their factions, or main characters |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | I know some of the names of the mechs |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | and that's it. |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | like, what is that. What does that get me. |
| 18:50 | < Soren> | Yeah. It's supremely forgettable. |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | some of the mech designs are sweet, admittedly |
| 18:50 | < afny|mac> | and not just the ones stolen from Macross |
| 18:51 | < afny|mac> | I mean I like the non-humanoid, reverse knee bots a lot. My Nimrod is very "battletech". |
| 18:51 | < afny|mac> | But story wise, I just don't get it. |
| 18:51 | < Soren> | It seems like occasionally they accidentally hire someone for real money who can sort of draw. |
| 18:51 | < Soren> | Joshua has a whole rant there. It's not flattering. |
| 18:53 | < Soren> | I should also note that, in the more abstract realm of things, I accept Minovsky particles a lot easier than FTL travel and space feudalism. Possibly because they're less 'AUTHORIAL FIAT GOES HERE' |
| 18:56 | < Ceddo> | Well, the story is pretty much ... |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | ALL IS SHIT. LET'S BATH IN IT. OMG SUPERSOLDIERS FROM THE PAST ARE BACK. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | CONFLICT NAO. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | WAIT. THOSE GUYS ARE OUR OLD BUDDIES. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | LESS CONFLICT NAO. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | WAIT. WE HATE EACH OTHER. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | INTERNAL CONFLICT NAO. |
| 18:57 | < Ceddo> | Etc. |
| 18:58 | < Ceddo> | Add a lot deus ex machina and supercharacters. MarySues. |
| 18:58 | < Soren> | Yeah, see, i just stop giving a shit at all. |
| 18:59 | < Soren> | I think Joshua's phrase is 'contentless violence porn' |
| 18:59 | < afny|mac> | like, if your argument against Gundam is that you don't like marysue mechs |
| 18:59 | < afny|mac> | but you're fine with marysue characters |
| 18:59 | < Ceddo> | What's cool in BT are the novels of specific mercenary units, lower tier clansmen and any large-scale battle. |
| 19:00 | < Ceddo> | Who said that I am fine with it? |
| 19:00 | < Ceddo> | I was talking only about visual appeal. |
| 19:00 | < afny|mac> | I thought you were mr battletech supreme |
| 19:00 | < afny|mac> | oh |
| 19:00 | < Soren> | visual appeal, well... |
| 19:00 | < afny|mac> | welll you should watch 8th MS team |
| 19:00 | < Ceddo> | I cannot and would not comment on Gundam's actual content. |
| 19:00 | < Ceddo> | Because I know naught. |
| 19:00 | < afny|mac> | it's about a Gundam ground crew operating normal armor, nothing super |
| 19:00 | < Ceddo> | And BT's fallacies are very apparent to me. |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | Soren: http://goo.gl/l7bOZ The WACCEE, Wartime Advanced Conflict Class Erupter Engine |
| 19:01 | <~Noah> | Pronounced, "wacky" |
| 19:01 | < Ceddo> | But, still, after having played every Mech Warrior and Mech Commander game ever released on PC, I know what I like, both in loadout choices and design. |
| 19:02 | < Ceddo> | And ... I even got to like MW4. Even though they pretty much raped the loadout system and were cunthair short of introducing energy shields. |
| 19:02 | < Ceddo> | But that's Microsfot. |
| 19:02 | < Soren> | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZULhqmhv3o here, ignore the terrible dub. |
| 19:02 | < Ceddo> | *Microsoft |
| 19:03 | < afny|mac> | Hahaha I've never seen this dub |
| 19:03 | < Soren> | it's so delightfully bad. |
| 19:04 | < Ceddo> | Oh my god. |
| 19:04 | < Ceddo> | Dafuq am I watching? |
| 19:04 | < Ceddo> | There's 80ies porn music. |
| 19:05 | < afny|mac> | GET REAL |
| 19:17 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 19:17 | < Ceddo> | Watched it. |
| 19:18 | < Ceddo> | Combat was odd, drawing did not tickle my fancy, the scuba 'bots were weird and that guy up at the ramp was stupid. |
| 19:18 | < Ceddo> | Also, I have a heard time feeling compassion for a bunch of guys murdering tons of civilians ... that guy died because he was dumb. |
| 19:22 | < afny|mac> | ANDDDYYY. |
| 19:22 | < afny|mac> | They weren't really civilians, though |
| 19:22 | < Ceddo> | Totes. |
| 19:22 | < Ceddo> | It was a spaceport. |
| 19:25 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 19:25 | < Ceddo> | How to modell a DF YY B Chub. |
| 19:27 | < Soren> | over the shoulder scope, radar dish on the backpack, carbine, some kind of shield. |
| 19:28 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, mhmm. |
| 19:28 | < Ceddo> | I'll see whether I can get that funky headscope thing going. |
| 19:29 | | * Soren has an example handy |
| 19:29 | < Ceddo> | Do show. |
| 19:30 | < Soren> | I'm on it |
| 19:32 | < afny|mac> | you mean that head scope from those yellow chubs? |
| 19:32 | < afny|mac> | I love that thing |
| 19:32 | < Ceddo> | Yah. |
| 19:34 | < afny|mac> | I still feel stupid about not knowing how it was built |
| 19:34 | < afny|mac> | I was sure it was like, one of those little diamonds |
| 19:34 | < afny|mac> | shoved into a closed wrench |
| 19:35 | < afny|mac> | and the lampholder wasn't stuck to anything, and was like a flip-up readout or something |
| 19:35 | < afny|mac> | it was so mysterious to me. |
| 19:36 | < Ceddo> | I am not so sure myself anymore. :D |

| 19:38 | < afny|mac> | I think that person mosts on the hangar but I'm not sure who it is |
| 19:38 | < afny|mac> | I got that picture from the MFZ reddit |
| 19:43 | < Ceddo> | Soren got lost looking for that picture. |
| 19:43 | < Ceddo> | He's like a old and wise professor. |
| 19:44 | < Soren> | no, taking it. |
| 19:45 | < Ceddo> | Oh! |
| 19:45 | < Ceddo> | Thanks, man. I thought you had it ready. Cool beans! |
| 19:47 | < Soren> | it's super basic. 1x2 bar plate to 1x1 with 3 studs. |
| 19:47 | < Ceddo> | Mhm? Can't picture it. |
| 19:48 | < Soren> | it's attached to the neck clip on the Chub - or Rumble Monkey, in this case. Whenever the goddamn link decides to load. |
| 19:50 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/4rcvacoferpoev6/ST-09A%20Command.JPG |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Ah, I see. |

| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, I'll see what I can cook up from that. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Ooooh, smexy. |
| 19:55 | < Soren> | ty |
| 19:56 | < Soren> | I was surprised at how well they came out. |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | I really like the colours there. |
| 19:59 | < Soren> | yeah, me too. |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | I did a pink one I should probably take pictures of. |

| 20:17 | < Soren> | they're one-shots, but I think I'd rather live in the universe where you just roast them over the fires of your enemy's corpse. |
| 20:17 | < Soren> | he's adorable! |
| 20:18 | < Ceddo> | He looks like how I envison the guy running the Tithe Bureau on Vesopia! |
| 20:18 | < afny|mac> | He's a cute old man that sells guns, apparently |
| 20:19 | < Ceddo> | Oh, man...rotary jack-hammers. It's like something a six-year old would design. I want four. <-- I love this forum. |
| 20:20 | < afny|mac> | Randolph's stuff is really out there. He's a little nuts, I think, but his weapon designs are pure mad science. |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | You know, I like that. |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | crazy people imrpove my life, i find. |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | improve* |
| 20:21 | < Ceddo> | Dude. |
| 20:21 | < Ceddo> | http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2390429a_AerialAssault Newsletter_1.jpg |
| 20:21 | < Ceddo> | Dafuq izzat shit. |
| 20:21 | < afny|mac> | Yes, I am generally a fan of crazy people. They do their thing. |
| 20:21 | < Ceddo> | Since when did the Adeptus Astartes ask ORKS how to build things? |
| 20:21 | < Soren> | fuqed, izwhut. |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | And ... srsly? A flyin twin-linked assault cannon + 2x single las cannons? |
| 20:22 | < afny|mac> | I tell you huwhut. In my day, Adeptus Astartes solt propane and propane accessories. |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | The Stormtalon Gunship serves the armies of the Space Marines as both an interceptor and ground-attack craft. Fast enough to engage all but the swiftest of enemies, and sufficiently well-armed to reduce the chosen foe to a mangle of twisted wreckage and ruined flesh, it is a powerful addition for any Codex Chapter. |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | They'll need such power, too, as those crafty greenskins have managed to take to the skies in their own aircraft. The Ork Bommer can be used to make three kits: a Dakkajet, a Blitza-bommer or a Burna-bommer. |
| 20:23 | < afny|mac> | One thing I'll give to the Warhammer universe |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | That makes no sense. You fight aerial with Hydras and Quad-Autocannons. They swat fliers out of the air like crazy. |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | BUT! |
| 20:23 | < afny|mac> | I DO like the idea that the Orks are just an alien fungus. |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | THAT thing there ... |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | ... is a tank killer. |
| 20:23 | < afny|mac> | Fungus people are pretty great. I just wish they LOOKED more like fungus. |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | Heavy 4, Rending, S6. And 2x Heavy 1, S10. All that flyer does is chew tanks. |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | Retarded. Because we need more flying Landraiders. |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | I am so happy I stopped playing 40k. :D |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | Ah, I love my roomie. |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | He's currently remixing songs. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | So I turned my music off and listen to his. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Very important lesson in life: Move in with people that share your taste in music. |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | It's my goal to get him to play MFZ. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | He listens closely. And he follows quickly. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | He's a smart kid. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | Been friends with him for 25 years, almost. |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Took us like 10 years to finally move in together, but hey, at long last. :D |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Okay, so I got the face scanner sorted, Afny. It's actually a lot less ... uhm ... what's the word ... handy as you would think. |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Very narrow application. |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | And Soren, I found a different solution for a Y system - the shoulders were already packed (SSR launcher, and the scanner blocked the front, too). |
| 20:44 | < Soren> | 'kay |
| 20:44 | < Ceddo> | Put a lampholder where the 1x1 plate goes, slapped an 4L antenna on there, double clip-tiled a radio to it and put another clip in the groove with a dish and 1x1 round plate. |
| 20:44 | < Ceddo> | Should suffice as an uplink. |
| 21:02 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 21:02 | < Ceddo> | I think I accidentially the whole company. |
| 21:05 | < afny|mac> | show us the face scanner |
| 21:05 | < afny|mac> | SHOW US |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | It's so delicious. :D |
| 21:18 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |

| 21:43 | < afny> | Also, I dig it |
| 21:46 | < Ceddo> | Yay! |
| 21:47 | < afny> | is it built how you determined it before? |
| 21:47 | < Ceddo> | Yipp. |
| 21:47 | < Ceddo> | I added a 1x1 tile to the bottom. |
| 21:47 | < Ceddo> | But that's about it. |
| 21:48 | < Ceddo> | Only problem I see, if you do it in an different colour, it'll look odd. |
| 21:48 | < Ceddo> | Black's subtle and thusly works. |
| 21:48 | < afny> | I think you should expand into light gray |
| 21:49 | < afny> | I know you don't like it but I think it makes things a lot more striking sometimes |
| 21:49 | < afny> | you and mittens both should use it more |
| 21:50 | < Ceddo> | Nah. Black's my love. :D |
| 21:50 | < Ceddo> | But ironically, I already have the next project in front of me. |
| 21:50 | < Ceddo> | And I'll use light and dark grey for that one. |
| 21:51 | < Ceddo> | Maybe some minor black here 'n there. |
