< Dukayn>
Ha nice!
00:00
< Ceddo>
What does it do.
00:00
< Ceddo>
I am confused.
00:00
< afny>
uh...
00:00
< Dukayn>
It's a chainsaw!
00:00
< afny>
yeah.
00:00
< afny>
it's a chainsaw.
00:00
< Dukayn>
Which goes up and down all by itself
00:00
< Ceddo>
Doing what?
00:00
< afny>
chain...sawing things
00:00
< Ceddo>
What for?
00:00
< Dukayn>
REEOOWWW REEEOOOOOOW
00:01
< Dukayn>
Sawing mechs in twain obviously
00:01
< afny>
it doesn't make great deals of sense.
00:01
< Dukayn>
It's a HtH weapon, what other sense does it need to make?
00:02
< Ceddo>
I literally just got a laughing cramp.
00:02
< afny>
from "reow reow"?
00:02
< Ceddo>
"What is it?" - "A chainsaw." - "What does it do?" - "Chainsawing things." - "Doing what?" - "REEOOWWW REEEOOOOOOW!"
00:02
< Dukayn>
Yeah I'm giggling a little at that :P
00:02
< afny>
that's the gist of it.
00:02
< Ceddo>
This is so great.
00:03
< Ceddo>
I love you, Dukey.
00:03
< Ceddo>
You are now in my top ten of my favourite Aussies.
00:03
< Dukayn>
D'awwww
00:03
< Dukayn>
Who else is up there? Just so I know who I need to beat.
00:04
< Ceddo>
Scottie, from Melbourne.
00:04
< Ceddo>
He's my back-in-the-day Battlefield buddy.
00:04
< Dukayn>
Ah
00:04
< Ceddo>
THat's it.
00:04
< Ceddo>
It's a pretty empty list.
00:04
< Dukayn>
that's 2.
00:04
< Ceddo>
No, wait.
00:04
< Ceddo>
We go back to Guildwars One.
00:04
< Ceddo>
That's where we met.
00:05
< Ceddo>
Then we played BF2 together. And BF2:BC2.
00:05
< Ceddo>
And Section 8.
00:05
< Dukayn>
Cool
00:05
< Ceddo>
And BF3.
00:05
< Dukayn>
You have BF3?
00:05
< Ceddo>
We're online gaming buddies. :D
00:05
< Dukayn>
What's your Battlelog name I'll add you
00:05
< Ceddo>
Soldier Name: Ced Riggs. Or Ced23Ric.
00:05
< Ceddo>
I think the latter.
00:05
< Dukayn>
k
00:06
< Ceddo>
But I don't play these days. :(
00:06
< Ceddo>
My PC is still in Canada, and my laptop can't handle it.
00:06
< Ceddo>
I used to play for The Art of Warfare.
00:06
< Ceddo>
600 men clan, military structure.
00:07
< Dukayn>
"The story of BF3 made me very sad" << you?
00:07
< Ceddo>
They had me on as Platoon Leader Europe, in Section 8, and as Drill Instructor in BF2:BC2. :D
00:07
< Ceddo>
That's totes me. :D
00:07
< Dukayn>
Friended
00:07
< Ceddo>
Yay!
00:07
< Dukayn>
I still haven't finished campaign for that one
00:07
< Dukayn>
My GPU needs to go back for an RA
00:07
< afny>
You seem like the kind of guy that might've been into ARMA Ced
00:07
< afny>
did you ever play it?
00:10
< Dukayn>
I tried it, but it was right at launch and it had major issues with my PC
00:10
< Dukayn>
So I took it back and got Assassin's Creed 2 for my 360.
00:11
< afny>
I only played 2. Neither one were what you would call optimized.
00:11
< afny>
I'm not really into military sims, but I really loved it as a sandbox game.

00:12
< Ceddo>
ARMA?
00:12
< afny>
o/
00:12
< Ceddo>
Sup KD.
00:13
< afny>
ARMA.
00:13
< afny>
It's like a hardcore realistic military sim
00:13
< Ceddo>
Like Op FP?
00:13
< afny>
it's mostly just an engine and a bunch of coded weapons/vehicles
00:13
< Ceddo>
See, I liked SWAT4. :D
00:13
< Ceddo>
And I played something in excess of 800 hours of BF2.
00:13
< afny>
uh I think there's some developer crossover between arma and op fp
00:13
< afny>
I don't remember what came first
00:14
< Dukayn>
From memory it is made by the guys who made OpFP, but they split from the publishers who kept the franchise title
00:14
< afny>
arma is like swat 4 but on a grander scale
00:14
< afny>
for instance the default map in arma 2 is more than a hundred kilometers or russia all mapped out in the game engine
00:14
< Dukayn>
So the devs made ARMA, and the publishers went on to make shit OpFP sequels
00:14
< afny>
yeah that's right.
00:14
< Ceddo>
Gotcha.
00:14
< Dukayn>
OH FUCK YOU LDD
00:14
< Ceddo>
What it do?
00:14
< afny>
anyway I don't like the actual simulating the military part
00:15
< Dukayn>
Well it was stopping loading
00:15
< Dukayn>
So I rebooted in case it was just an OS thing
00:15
< Dukayn>
No dice.
00:15
< afny>
I just like running around in fields at night with a ghillie suit and a sniper and fucking with people in servers
00:15
< Dukayn>
So I uninstalled, redownloaded and reinstalled.
00:15
< afny>
or crashing planes into things
00:15
< Dukayn>
STILL NO DICE
00:15
< Dukayn>
Just sits there doing nothing.
00:15
< Ceddo>
Does it need some sort of Framework?
00:15
< Dukayn>
Well that's the thing, it was working perfectly fine last night till about 1.40am
00:15
< Ceddo>
Check the requirements. And download any library it may need.
00:16
< Ceddo>
Any updates?
00:16
< Dukayn>
Negatory
00:16
< Dukayn>
Just... stopped working.
00:16
< Ceddo>
Hrm.
00:16
< Ceddo>
Does it give you any messages?
00:16
< Dukayn>
Nothing, just sits there
00:17

http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/FAQ/default.aspx?id=132499
00:17
< Dukayn>
Hmm could be vid drivers
00:17
< Dukayn>
I'll check, ta
00:18
< Ceddo>
Also, first entry.
00:18
< Ceddo>
If you are using Windows, please delete the folder c:\Document and Settings\\Application Data\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer and then restart LDD.
00:18
< Dukayn>
Oh hey look, there are new graphics drivers for my GPU
00:18
< Ceddo>
:D
00:18
< Dukayn>
But no, they were released on 22/05
00:19
< Dukayn>
So maybe it's that folder
00:19
< Ceddo>
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48663
00:20
< Ceddo>
Wait.
00:20
< Ceddo>
What.
00:20
< Ceddo>
My LDD doesn't start.
00:20
< Ceddo>
It shows me the loading progress bar.
00:21
< Ceddo>
And stopped at like 8%.
00:21
< Dukayn>
o_O
00:21
< Dukayn>
That's exactly my problem
00:21
< Ceddo>
What.
00:21
< Dukayn>
Yup
00:21
< Ceddo>
What is this.
00:21
< Ceddo>
DUDE.
00:21
< Ceddo>
You broke my LDD.
00:21
< Dukayn>
afny, check?
00:21
< afny>
?
00:21
< Dukayn>
LDD
00:21
< afny>
I dont have it on this machine
00:21
< Dukayn>
does yours load?
00:21
< Ceddo>
Oh, fuck, I think I know what it is.
00:21
< Dukayn>
OH WELL FINE THEN
00:21
< afny>
I hate LDD
00:21
< afny>
I hope it dies in a fire
00:21
< Dukayn>
Don't we all
00:22
< Dukayn>
But it's what we have that's quick and easy
00:22
< Ceddo>
LDD automatically goes into online mode if there is a connection.
00:22
< Ceddo>
If you have no connection, it stays offline.
00:22
< Dukayn>
Hmm
00:22
< Ceddo>
Try this, for shits and giggles.
00:22
< Ceddo>
Terminate the process.
00:22
< Ceddo>
Disable your network connection.
00:22
< afny>
QUICK. Hah. EASY. Hah.
00:22
< Ceddo>
Start LDD in offline mode.
00:22
< Dukayn>
Yeah will do
00:22
< Dukayn>
brb
00:22
< Ceddo>
Enable network.
00:24
< Ceddo>
What a cunt.
00:24
< Dukayn>
ping
00:24
< Ceddo>
It worked.
00:24
< Ceddo>
I just disconned from wireless, started offline and reconnected.
00:24
< Ceddo>
Now LDD runs fine.
00:24
< Dukayn>
Yep worked for metoo
00:24
< Dukayn>
So it's something their end
00:24
< Ceddo>
Conclusion: Lego servers are down.
00:25
< Dukayn>
I might just block LDD from accessing the 'net.
00:27
< Dukayn>
It's a pretty safe bet
00:28
< Ceddo>
They update LDD's palette once a year.

Ah, so that may be it
00:31
< Dukayn>
June 1st, also makes some sense
00:31
< Dukayn>
Woah woah woah
00:31
< Ceddo>
Yah?
00:32
< Dukayn>
My LDD is now anti-aliased
00:34
< Dukayn>
I set that like a month ago
00:34
< Dukayn>
I guess it was waiting on a reboot

Lemme show you something.
00:48

Oh I figured out last night that the bits I ordered for the Osprey could almost build a Nightingale too heh
00:49
< Ceddo>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/elderseye_fire.png
00:49
< Dukayn>
Heh, nice
00:50
< Ceddo>
So much pink and purple.
00:50
< Ceddo>
:D
00:50
< Soren>
om nom.
00:51
< Soren>
Most excellent looking.
00:51
< Ceddo>
Those Ijad will be quite trigger happy.
00:51
< Ceddo>
Is what umpteen pink and purple parts are saying.
00:51
< Dukayn>
Ah, good. Soren's here. You two can talk about why my HtH Osprey should be BB or YG :P
00:52
< Soren>
I'm really leery of a no-blue HtH frame.
00:52
< Soren>
That just seems like a crippling kick in the robo-junk waiting to happen
00:52
< Ceddo>
I'm saying, make it an HtH soldier.
00:52
< Ceddo>
RhRh Y B G G8 WW.
00:53
< Ceddo>
An HtH that's not in melee is a waste.
00:53
< Ceddo>
HtH with just G8 doesn't exactly fly like a peregrine.
00:53
< Ceddo>
It has one unreliable boost.
00:53
< Ceddo>
Double B is for cover, yes? Cover means HtH distance to a friendly. Means slowed down movement for cohesion.
00:53
< Ceddo>
If you ignore cohesion, then why have BB?
00:54
< Ceddo>
So you are either as slow as the slowest element or you have BB for no reason other than another roll for Def.
00:54
< Dukayn>
I hadn't considered a single B
00:54
< Soren>
I'm not convinced of the value of double-green.
00:54
< Ceddo>
While the HHH8 BB frame hobbles over the battlefield with his buddy, they are dead weights. They do nothing but walk around.
00:55
< Dukayn>
It's not tehcnically double green, it's Gd6+d8
00:55
< Ceddo>
So I'm saying, go at least one more G, so you get places CONSISTENTLY.
00:55
< Ceddo>
HtH 'frames need to be fast. If they are not, they are deadweights.
00:55
< Ceddo>
And while you hobble around, might aswell be usefull and spot for the guns.
00:55
< Ceddo>
Hence the Y.
00:56
< Ceddo>
So, ultimately, I suggest HH Y B G G8 WW
00:59
< Soren>
I think I have to see it in play, really.
01:00
< Soren>
But I'm convinced that there's at least a case for it.
01:00
< Ceddo>
For HH H8 BB ?
01:00
< Soren>
no, for your double-green config.
01:00
< Ceddo>
I think it's too slow and useless until it engages in melee.
01:00
< Ceddo>
Ah. Well, it's a consistent runner.
01:00
< Ceddo>
And it still has 3d6, if need be, for Def.
01:01
< Soren>
sure
01:02
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9lnydhifflufxy/I-ST-05A%20Slammer.jpg Repost for everyone who wasn't here, the double-HtH double-Blue config in a tasty new form.
01:03
< Dukayn>
Here's a question: You can use W for HtH if you have no HtH systems
01:03
< Dukayn>
Can you still use W for HtH if you DO have HtH systems?
01:05
< Soren>
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
01:05
< Soren>
an exception there would be kinda needless and fiddly
01:06
< Dukayn>
Figured
01:06
< Dukayn>
I mean it's like if I have a coherent energy blade, I can still smack you with the handle even if the blade misses
01:06
< Ceddo>
Yipp, totally.
01:06
< Ceddo>
Soren: Here's my take.
01:07
< Ceddo>
You have two hhHBB 'frames.
01:07
< Ceddo>
They come towards my station, covering each other.
01:07
< Ceddo>
And I'm supposed to do what?
01:07
< Ceddo>
I will pull back, spot and shoot them to bits.
01:07
< Ceddo>
They cannot return fire or spot back if I use cover.
01:08
< Ceddo>
They aren't much faster than my 'frames.
01:08
< Ceddo>
They got one D8.
01:08
< Ceddo>
That's pretty wobbly
01:09
< Soren>
But I've got your stations.
01:09
< Dukayn>
bbl guys, I've gotta take our girls to playgroup.
01:09
< Soren>
later!
01:09 Dukayn is now known as Dukayn[AFK]
01:09
< Ceddo>
Have my station.
01:09
< Ceddo>
I take yours.
01:09
< Soren>
maybe.
01:09
< Soren>
maybe.
01:10
< Ceddo>
Maybe you take mine.
01:10
< Ceddo>
Maybe I blast you to bits.
01:10
< Ceddo>
Point is, 2d6 +1d8 isn't fast.
01:10
< Soren>
Or you suck on it, because I'm covering those guys like hell.
01:10
< Ceddo>
A soldier has 3d6.
01:11
< Ceddo>
No prob'. Spot 6, Shoot 6, I get 6 rolls for a 6.
01:11
< Ceddo>
Or say I get 4 rolls. Or 3.
01:11
< Ceddo>
Eventually, one is gonna stick.
01:11
< Soren>
except that I'm swimming in initiative, now.
01:11
< Ceddo>
What do you drop?
01:11
< Ceddo>
H?
01:11
< Ceddo>
Nah, you're not at my station yet.
01:11
< Soren>
depends on the situation.
01:11
< Ceddo>
You are still walking through the valley of death. Slowly.
01:12
< afny>
Dukayn seems like the best dad ever
01:12
< Soren>
He really does.
01:12
< Ceddo>
He's my idol.
01:12
< Ceddo>
Here.
01:12
< Ceddo>
[18:16:28] <Dukayn> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
01:12
< Ceddo>
[18:16:36] <Dukayn> I just hit Submit Order on Bricklink
01:12
< Ceddo>
[18:16:39] <Dukayn> I AM NOW IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB
01:12

[18:17:21] <Dukayn> ALSO DON'T TELL THE WIFE >_<
01:12
< Ceddo>
This is golden.
01:13
< Soren>
I really want to get him in a bar in KL and pour beer down him. He seems like a really fun guy.
01:13
< Soren>
I'lll send him back to AUS with pockets full of Lego.
01:14
< Ceddo>
:D
01:15
< Ceddo>
1st MoFo offline meeting is at Soren's!
01:16
< Soren>
I like to think I know how to rock out.
01:16 * Soren plans the world's hugest veggie lasagna.
01:16
< Ceddo>
God.
01:16
< Ceddo>
You are playing with my emotions.
01:17
< Ceddo>
Lasagna. Large.
01:17
< Ceddo>
But Veggie.
01:17
< Ceddo>
I mean, it's probably because we have fuckawesome meat over here, but ...
01:17
< Ceddo>
I do love my meat, man.
01:17
< Soren>
You can add sausage to yours. We just gotta have something Af can eat.
01:19
< Ceddo>
True.
01:19
< Ceddo>
And no sausage.
01:19
< Ceddo>
I am talking about 50% ground veal, 50% grond pork, fried in olive oil, with pepper and onions and diced carrots, some salt, maybe basil and deffo garlic.
01:19
< Soren>
numnumnum
01:20
< Soren>
So two pans.
01:20
< Soren>
At least.
01:20
< Ceddo>
Hey, are you a one-person-cook?
01:20
< Soren>
I was thinking diced lamb and hot peppers.
01:20
< Ceddo>
Or do you share the kitchen?
01:20
< Soren>
I share the kitchen like a mofo.
01:20
< Ceddo>
Not too big of a fan of lamb, honestly.
01:20
< Soren>
I did this for a living, I play well with others.
01:20
< Ceddo>
But I eat beef raw.
01:20
< Soren>
0.0
01:21
< Soren>
(not the raw beef, the lamb)
01:21
< Ceddo>
I don't mind it. I like it at times.
01:21
< Ceddo>
But I wouldn't go out of my way to get lamb.
01:21
< Soren>
Man.
01:21
< Ceddo>
Much rather I'd go for shark, ostrich or pike, to name some more odd meats.
01:21
< Soren>
I actually feel sorry for you.
01:22
< Ceddo>
It doesn't tickle my fancy.
01:22
< Ceddo>
Not like beef does.
01:22
< Soren>
Pike is pretty great. I don't think I've had enough shark to form an opinion.
01:22
< Ceddo>
Or predator fish.
01:22
< Soren>
hee
01:22
< Soren>
Man. we do a great beef roast.
01:22
< Ceddo>
I had shark steak, shark soup, shark filet.
01:22
< Ceddo>
Gotta say, pretty damn tasty.
01:22
< Soren>
rubbed with olive oil and herbs, cut some divots for garlic.
01:22
< Ceddo>
Sounds delicious.
01:23
< Ceddo>
Is this where we plan a massive cooking orgy?
01:23
< Soren>
once you get about 12+ cloves in there, it's magic.
01:23
< Ceddo>
Because I am DTC.
01:23
< Soren>
I could be down for that in a big way, yeah.
01:23
< Ceddo>
*nods*
01:23
< Ceddo>
I've never been a professional cook.
01:24
< Ceddo>
But one of my former roomies cooked for the Frankfurt Intercontinental.

And he kinda picked up where my mom left me.
01:24
< Ceddo>
And in Canada, in Niagara Falls, I was amidst ... twenty cooks. At least. Cooks and chefs.
01:24
< Soren>
Cooks are some of my favorite people.
01:24
< Ceddo>
One of them ran a restaurant, and I'd sample his next menu and give feedback for him.
01:24
< Ceddo>
Make little suggestions.
01:25
< Soren>
They're the people who'll pick you up when you're down.
01:26
< Ceddo>
I was the only customer who got breakfast at that place.
01:26
< Ceddo>
They didn't have a breakfast card, though.
01:26
< Soren>
heh
01:26
< Ceddo>
So I ordered what I felt like. :D
01:27
< Soren>
most excellent.
01:27
< Soren>
Man. I still miss knowing guys who shower twice a week and keep a huge batch of sourdough starter in their bathtubs.
01:28
< Soren>
granted, not actually in the tub, he had a bin, but still.
01:28
< Soren>
That guy.
01:28
< Soren>
You wanna know that guy when there's pizza to be made.
01:28
< Ceddo>
Yeah,
02:04
< afny>
Urgh, what is it with people naming their companies after DnD or Warhammer things
02:04
< afny>
Have an ounce of creativity. An OUNCE.
02:05
< Ceddo>
Like which one?
02:05
< afny>
Or steal from a CREDIBLE source, like a real world religion. >_>

Well I told her after we discussed how she spent $30 on books the other day so I came out on top

You just play with the torso and the arms and you get a new, neat little 'frame

Two done!
03:17
< Cedric>
Company of 8 Serpents done.
03:18
< Cedric>
I call them ... Toads.
03:18
< Cedric>
Battle Toads.
03:18
< Soren>
the variants are gonna be great.
03:18
< Soren>
'Sniping Toad', for example, sounds like one of the positions that had to be removed from the Kama Sutra for safety
03:19
< afny>
I think someone already coined the battle toad
03:19
< afny>
I saw it on flikr
03:19
< Soren>
'Slashing Toad', 'Barrage Toad'... it's like a non-stop rain of gooey innuendo.
03:19
< Noah>
Hypno Toad
03:19
< afny>
based on one of KD's designs, I think, but I might be wrong.
03:19
< Noah>
Has new purple dice for hacking systems
03:20

03:22

also, the more it sounds like one of the goofier names from VOTOMs, the funiier.
03:22

03:22

I've always thought the "Hooded Cobra" sounded like a good penis name.

His stage name, to be exact.

He has a followership in Japan.
03:30

Referred to in the third person, because it's on someone else

Huge Dong in Japan, a humble Hugh Don in private life.

03:31

Hehe
03:33
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I concur with Ced about the Iguana as a base. The Nightingale is Iguana based.
03:33
< Cedric>
I usually start with the face and then change the entire torso until I like it. :D
03:34
< Noah>
That's what she said...?
03:34
< Cedric>
It's usually like playing Tetris in 3D with travis bricks and headlight bricks.
03:36
< Soren>
throw in some 1x1 technic bricks for hard mode.
03:36
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I started with the head for the Nightingale. Knew what I wanted for that and then went for a body to fit it to.
03:37
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
The Osprey I started at the feet.
03:38
< Soren>
I sually start with a torso, so I know how much weight the legs have to hold up.
03:38
< Soren>
usually*
03:38
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
That's a good philosophy. And why you're so much better at this than I am.
03:39
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Well, one reason.
03:40
< Soren>
it's just a trick I've picked up.
03:40
< Soren>
It matters more with big stuff.
03:41
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
How did you come up with the Chub torso?
03:41
< Soren>
shoulder joint first.
03:42
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I've always wondered how that setup came about
03:42
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
The tap + claw?
03:42
< Soren>
I wanted to use taps, because they're cheap and promiscuously available.
03:42
< Soren>
yeah, at first, just taps.
03:42
< Soren>
Which still works, but sits awkwardly far forward and I wanted an excuse for people to get taps.
03:43
< Soren>
erm, to get *claws*
03:43
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah I've just used taps on mine as I have no claws.
03:43
< afny>
What do you use to get arm articulation?
03:43
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Also the arm is closer to the body which doesn't always work
03:43
< Soren>
the neck of the tap.
03:43
< Soren>
yeah.
03:43
< afny>
None of my Chubs use claws
03:44
< afny>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7207505140/in/set-72157629897328224
03:44
< afny>
But I get some articulation with that setup. It changes the outline a bit, but I've sort of grown to like it
03:44
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
On the Kestrel I used a 1x1 round on the tap to get it out past the chest piece
03:44
< Soren>
yeah, it's a workable option. I just like the final version a bit better.
03:44
< Soren>
slightly more elegant.
03:45
< Cedric>
Alright.
03:45
< Cedric>
I'mma hit the hay.
03:45
< afny>
I did some of mine up with claws, and the outline is more fluid, and the idle posture is better
03:45
< Cedric>
Later, gentledudes and dudettes.

The 1x1 round brick means you can Mitten the arm with a tyre :D
03:46
< afny>
doesn't it crash into the shoulder mounts?
03:46
< Soren>
Af: well, your shoulder joint is crazy excellent.
03:47
< Soren>
I went for proportion and ease, you went for articulation..
03:47
< afny>
It was really just out of necessity
03:47
< Soren>
but it works.
03:47
< afny>
When I do up my generic frames, they'll all have the classic claw shoulders
03:48
< afny>
I have so many unique frames, when I actually field a company I just want to use one or two of them and then some generic frames as grunts
03:48
< Soren>
an excellent plan.
03:48
< Soren>
Also, how I want to do FSS styling.
03:48
< Soren>
one Knight Paramount, and a bunch of supporting cast.
03:48
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Afny no it doesn't seem to
03:49
< Soren>
which means one fancy-ass frame and a bunch of less fancy ones.
03:49
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Check my Flickr for the kestrel
03:50
< afny>
Oh, hm. Yeah, depending on what you put up there, you'd be fine.
03:50
< afny>
The feet on this thing are so cool.
03:51
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
The fat tyre mittens uses fits fine
03:51
< afny>
does it just use one point of contact between the two round plates as a joint?
03:51
< afny>
in the feet?
03:51
< afny>
I've used that as a swivel for a grenade launcher/ecm combo just recently and found it to be surprisingly stable
03:54
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I use a technic axle
03:54
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
For added strength
03:55
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Technically it has 2 contact points with both of the lamp holders.
03:55
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
You can also add another as a heel.
03:55
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Probably wouldn't need the axle then.
03:56
< afny>
I did four in my mount; two lampholders and two round 1 x 1s, and didnt need an axle
03:56
< afny>
but the wasn't any weight on it
03:56
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I didn't think of a 1x1 round.
03:57
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
That'd help I the back
03:57
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
In*
03:58
< afny>
I like that technique a lot because it's an easy reversal of four studs
03:58
< afny>
in a relatively innocuous 3p thick package
03:58
< afny>
and it gives you four additional points of contact because of the lampholders
03:59
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah
04:00
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I need to tweak the Kestrel. Make it less table scrappy
04:02
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Mostly in the legs. But he needs something in back.

But seriously, how much weight can you mount on the backplate without it tipping over?
04:15
< afny>
one of those cylinder backpack dealies would look cool.
04:24
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah. Not much with those feet.
04:26
< Soren>
I would try those feet on something smaller, actually.
04:26
< Soren>
And build that guy new legs.

Okay, so with that little Ijad fuchikoma, I've got a jumper set upside down into the hole at the back of the 2x2 plate w/ hole, but I don't really know how to use that to connect the slopes/jumpers that make up the abdomen. Do they somehow connect to the hole from the bottom?
04:41
< Soren>
oh, duh.
04:41
< Soren>
I didn't show that!
04:41
< Soren>
of course!
04:41
< Soren>
Yeah, there's another lampholder in there, upside-down.

And gameplay is synchronous, so each player tells their units what they should do, and the react to opposing units, and you give them specifics, such as aiming a certain way while moving, firing a rocket at a particular direction, etc

< MittenNinja>
Well I know with some of my frames there are parts I wouldn't change no matter what.
05:34
< MittenNinja>
The anacondas torso for example
05:35
< Dukayn>
Yeah
05:35
< Dukayn>
Nah play with it, I don't really mind.
05:35
< Dukayn>
Just don't be offended if I decide not to keep the changes :)
05:35
< MittenNinja>
I won't be :)
05:36
< MittenNinja>
You going to build something for the frame chef?
05:40
< Dukayn>
Thinking about it yeah
05:44
< Dukayn>
EEEEEEEEEEEEE
05:45
< Dukayn>
I just paid for my Bricklink Order
05:46
< MittenNinja>
Hahaha.
05:46
< MittenNinja>
I'm kinda bummed, I have to hold off on ny Lego spending for a bit.
05:47
< Dukayn>
Only a small one, about half the parts needed for an Osprey. Decided in the early hours of this morning to just go and buy some stuff to make one, rather than pine over the fact that I can't.
05:48
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, good call.
05:48
< MittenNinja>
I'm really tempted to go buy parts to build like 5 anacondas in dark green
05:48
< MittenNinja>
But I can't spend the ~$70 right now
05:49
< Dukayn>
Haha
05:49
< Dukayn>
I love the Anaconda
05:49
< Dukayn>
I started with his feet for the Osprey and built on it.
05:50
< MittenNinja>
I actually got the idea from the Fat Snakes Soren built for me.
05:51
< MittenNinja>
I build like that sometimes though
05:51
< MittenNinja>
Just mess with some pieces until I find a connection that looks sweet or interesting
05:51
< MittenNinja>
Then I run with it
05:51
< Dukayn>
Yeah
05:51 Soren|SC is now known as Soren
05:52
< MittenNinja>
The conda for example all started from the backpack
05:53
< Dukayn>
Heh, nice
05:53
< Dukayn>
Oh I found out today you can force Anti-Aliasing in LDD via your GPU settings.
05:53
< Dukayn>
After a reboot you get nice smooth lines instead of crappy jaggy ones
05:53
< MittenNinja>
Yeah?
05:54
< MittenNinja>
Nice
05:54
< MittenNinja>
I'll have to look into that
06:08
< Dukayn>
Soren: I beefed up the legs on the Kestrel. Wondering if it'll make much difference. http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Kestrel2.png
06:10
< Soren>
It does a bit.
06:10
< Soren>
I think the major problem is the width of the shoulders.
06:11
< Dukayn>
Yeah, could be.
06:11
< Soren>
I might try going with thicker legs, adding jumpers on the bottom of the toes, and adding another lamp holder as a heel in back.
06:11
< Dukayn>
They are quite wide to get around the chest
06:12
< Soren>
Yeah.
06:12
< Soren>
If you want new legs, I'd go with 2-wide calves.
06:13
< Dukayn>
Yeah
06:13
< Dukayn>
Hmm, just realised I overcomplicated the shoulders
06:13
< Dukayn>
I can make it simpler and tighter
06:17
< Dukayn>
http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Kestrel3.png
06:18
< Soren>
Mmm. That looks more proportionate, yeah.
06:18
< Soren>
I just realized you could put the jumpers and heel on it and just slap some tiles on the sides of the calves. that would probably take care of the balance issue for good.
06:19
< Dukayn>
Yeah
06:19
< Dukayn>
Definitely adding a heel
06:19
< Dukayn>
anyway I'll bbl, doc's appt

< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Kids fell asleep in the car, bless them. So I get to sit here in the car with them, listening to Pink while the wife gets herself signed on as a patient.
06:59
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Ooh, I scored a 7 attack in the pbp niiiice. Especially with that 5 spot :D
07:00
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Even with a 6B roll he's getting hammered 6 times.
07:01
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, the dice haven't been kind to me in my game
07:09
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah, no fun when the dice go against you. But that's the charm of dice based games. Even the best players can be undone by bad rolls.
07:09
< MittenNinja>
Exactly.
07:10 Soren|SC is now known as Soren
07:12
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Welcome back, sir
07:12
< Soren>
ty
07:13
< MittenNinja>
How's it goin Mr Soren?
07:13
< Soren>
pretty awesome.
07:13
< MittenNinja>
Yeah? Why's that?
07:14
< Soren>
I just rolled Afny's face at Starcraft.
07:14
< afny>
:_:
07:14
< afny>
I'll get him one of these days.
07:14
< afny>
ONE OF THESE DAYS.
07:14
< Soren>
you got me the once. You'll get me again.
07:14
< afny>
I think we're...
07:14
< afny>
1/4?
07:14
< afny>
1/5?
07:15
< Soren>
the first game, you alomst beat my ass like a drum.
07:15
< Soren>
almost*
07:15
< MittenNinja>
I haven't played starcraft in years.
07:15
< afny>
well yeah, but then it became very obvious that I had no idea what to do with zerg past minute 4
07:15
< afny>
and then my computer crashed
07:15
< afny>
.
07:15
< Soren>
Oh, I meant tonight.
07:15
< afny>
Oh.
07:15
< afny>
Well yeah.
07:15
< Soren>
You were laying down the hurt something fierce.
07:15
< afny>
Fuckkk that game
07:15
< afny>
Basically what happened was
07:15
< Soren>
I feel like we should cast it.
07:15
< afny>
I got a billion carriers but didn't build any observers
07:16
< afny>
oh dude we should, I saved the replay
07:16
< afny>
Anyway, I get really careless and I'm just sort of lazily mopping up his base
07:16
< Soren>
After I went firebat/Vulture into the coveted 'losing my whole fuckin' base' build.
07:16
< Soren>
I did too.
07:16
< Soren>
not saving it would have been a crime
07:16
< afny>
As I'm wrecking his base, he's desperately making wraiths in a base I don't know about. And I have no detection.
07:17
< afny>
By the time he destroys my EIGHT carriers with his wraiths, I've spent all my money repairing interceptors
07:17
< Soren>
while getting the cloak upgrade right under his nose.
07:17
< afny>
and have mined out my main.
07:17
< afny>
And like a dumbass, I never rebuilt my expo that he destroyed earlier.
07:17
< afny>
So I just sort of sit there and watch my empire burn.
07:17
< afny>
we could've played for another like 5 hours
07:17
< Soren>
also note that I'm trying to macro all this up with a load of shit in my pants the size of a birthday cake.
07:18
< afny>
I mean, what was your end game
07:18
< Soren>
Like, any second he could find me and my butt would look like it'd been slapped on a grill
07:18
< afny>
slowly kill my base with a few wraiths
07:18
< Soren>
pretty much
07:18
< afny>
yeah so it would've gone on
07:18
< afny>
but I had nothing.
07:18
< Soren>
Well, I was gonna get factory tech up and try to turbo-newbie you from a cliff
07:18
< Soren>
But who knows.
07:18
< afny>
No, you would've won, but it would've taken sooo long.
07:19
< Soren>
yeah
07:19
< afny>
Anyway it was intense.
07:19
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Hahaha ah, RTS games.
07:19
< Soren>
Hey, this is how I feel when you guys talk tabletop :)
07:19
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
So nerve wraxkibg
07:19
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Wracking*
07:19
< afny>
that's the fun part
07:20
< Soren>
Some guys play football, I play SC.
07:20
< MittenNinja>
I still love the first dawn of war. Such a beautiful game.
07:20
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
It was good.
07:21
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Still favoured mass army builds though. I like DoW2's system a bit more. You can with so many different setups.
07:22
< Soren>
Mmmmmmmmacro.
07:22
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
One of my faves is a Banshee rush against one of my mates because once under pressure he can't think about how to get out of it.
07:22
< Soren>
Prime that pump, baby!
07:22
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, team games were where it was at with Dow.
07:22
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
So I just keep sending Banshees at him and use Guardians to cap VPs in the backfield.
07:23
< MittenNinja>
Still nothing like three space marine players all specing in different stuff.
07:23
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Oh yes
07:23
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
SPEHS MEHREENS
07:23
< MittenNinja>
I still really dig the resource system from Dow more than any other rts.
07:24
< MittenNinja>
It forces you to try and control the map.
07:24
< Soren>
Hey, we'll share our replays if you guys share yours :D
07:24
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah. Definitely.
07:24
< MittenNinja>
Turtleing is a death sentance.
07:24
< afny>
Only that one, though, mine are mostly embarrassing.
07:24
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I just love that DOW2 removes base building.
07:24
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I hate base building.
07:24
< MittenNinja>
See, I don't
07:24
< afny>
I actually really liked DoW2/Company of Heroes
07:24
< afny>
I mean it's a totally different kind of game
07:25
< MittenNinja>
Thats really what killed 2 for me.
07:25
< afny>
They just aren't even in the same genre.
07:25
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Too many WC3 games spent running around the map to find my opponent sitting behind a 5 deep turret wall
07:25
< afny>
I don't even like Warhammer and I enjoyed the hell out of DoW2. My friends wanted to play it and I ended up getting really into it.
07:25
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, that doesn't happen as often in Dow. Which is why I like it.
07:26
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Yeah
07:26
< Soren>
I always try to play so that turtling is a death sentence.
07:26
< MittenNinja>
But it still allows you to have a second base and come back from the dead so to say.
07:26
< Soren>
"Oh, you're in there? I'm gonna take everything on the map and just blast you off eight production buildings."
07:26
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Also, engi rush in cnc3 to steal your buildings. Fuck those guys.
07:27
< afny>
Yeah, Soren is quickly teaching me that to not expand is to die
07:27
< afny>
really really horribly.
07:27
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Hehe
07:27
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
So Soreb
07:27
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Fuck
07:27
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
soren.
07:27
< Soren>
Good advice from the daily: think of the major strategic concern as 'how and when do I get my third?'
07:27
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
You don't play tabletop?
07:27
< MittenNinja>
I should see if I can find my sc discs and throw down with you guys.
07:28
< afny>
I'm never sure how relevant advice about expos from the daily is considering it's a different game
07:28
< afny>
but I'll keep that one in mind
07:28
< Soren>
Duk: nope, tabletoppers I've met have been creeps to me until J and V.
07:28
< Soren>
AF: the econ works about the same in both.
07:28
< Soren>
2 is smoother but relies on macro abilities rather than simple mechanics
07:28
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Lol cos online gamers are such gentle folk? ;)
07:29
< afny>
Ah, okay. The only difference I've heard him point out is that naturals are usually closer/more valuable in 2
07:29
< MittenNinja>
Yeah there are some tabletop guys that are very... Shall we say... Interesting.
07:29
< Soren>
online, you can't smell 'em.
07:29
< afny>
I've never had a good experience with tabletop games/gamers.
07:29
< afny>
Well, scratch that. Wargamers.
07:29
< afny>
I've had good tabletop roleplay experiences.
07:29
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Hahahha fair call
07:29
< Soren>
Af: That's a design thing. get good maps for 1, and it's the same thing
07:29
< MittenNinja>
I have, but those were also the same guys I played dnd with
07:29
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I've never played outside my friend group so that helps
07:29
< afny>
yeah all the one's we've on have had a good natural
07:30
< afny>
we've played on*
07:30
< afny>
losing...coherence.
07:30
< afny>
07:30
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Hopefully MFZ attracts a classier crowd :)
07:30
< Soren>
The issue with SC is, you need a practice partner who plays the way you do. Otherwise you just get your face rolled on the interbutts by cheese=heads and cheaters.
07:30
< afny>
It already seems like it does. Or maybe not "classier", but just a fresh audience.
07:31
< afny>
Fresh maybe in the olfactory sense as well.
07:31
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Heh
07:31
< Soren>
one attempts!
07:31
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Speaking of classy folk, Chron has arced up again
07:31
< afny>
Yeah, that's why I've really enjoyed these games. You're clearly more practiced than me, but you don't just cheese your way to an instant victory when I make a visible mistake.
07:31
< MittenNinja>
I saw that
07:31
< afny>
I hope that we can still play when you get to KL/I get SC2.
07:32
< Soren>
me too.
07:32
< afny>
Ping might be an issue but at least I'm East Coast.
07:32
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Guy's brain is from a different time/space continuum.
07:32
< Soren>
yeah
07:32
< Soren>
Well, I don't care about the win/loss ratio at all.
07:32
< afny>
I just care about playing/learning
07:33
< afny>
And the sweet, sweet blizzard audio files.
07:33
< Soren>
I like teasing the game structure apart by playing.
07:33
< Soren>
like, oh, that's why they put that ability in there. That's why these numbers are the way they are.
07:33
< afny>
Yeah
07:33
< afny>
For me, what's got me hooked on it this time around at least
07:33
< afny>
definitely not in '99, but
07:34
< Soren>
And setting yourself little challenges, like, can I hurt him real bad without an expansion? How about with no air?
07:34
< Soren>
How does *this* composition work?
07:34
< afny>
With SC, mastery is just such a huge aspect, and the results are so visceral.
07:34
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I rarely play games to win. I play because I enjoy the game play. One of the reasons I stopped playing COD. I wasn't having fun if I wasn't winning. And as I don't exploit or cheat or spend 24/7 playing, I rarely won.
07:34
< Soren>
frex: the firebat/vulture thing is weirdly immobile.
07:34
< Soren>
You have map control, but you can't do a lot with it.
07:35
< Soren>
turtle to air is actually a good counter.
07:35
< afny>
yeah, but I only did that BECAUSE I knew you were going vultures
07:35
< Soren>
but it still worked.
07:35
< afny>
it's basically the only counter
07:35
< afny>
except going early dragoon range and obs
07:35
< afny>
and scouting out the mines
07:35
< afny>
which, in retrospect, might've served me better
07:35
< Soren>
actually, an early push to your natural is what would have saved you.
07:36
< Soren>
once I mined that, all I had to do was kill any other expansions and wait for you to run out of money
07:36
< afny>
Well yeah, we've already established that everything I do would be magnified by better expansion
07:36
< Soren>
probably, although there are valid builds that expand late.
07:36
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I could never get into Starcraft. No idea why.
07:36
< Soren>
they're just reliant on early pressure.
07:36 * Soren was 13/14 in 1999.
07:37
< Soren>
That's why.
07:37
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
I was 18
07:37
< afny>
I was 9, which is why I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING
07:37
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Maybe that's it. I was too drunk.
07:37
< Soren>
Well, I played like a sackful of smashed assholes back then.
07:37
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
OK time to drive. Chat layer.
07:38
< afny>
o/
07:38
< Soren>
later!
07:38
< Dukayn[Mobile]>
Later. Fuck you, phone.
07:38 Dukayn[Mobile] [Dukayn[Mobi@949DD1.C84145.738EBF.B5558C] has quit [[NS] Quit: Bye]
07:39
< afny>
I really need to get 60 bucks and get SC2 so I can learn good play and learn the units at the same time.
07:39
< afny>
I mean I love SC1 but I actually know people besides you that play SC2.
07:41
< Soren>
heh, yeah
07:41
< Soren>
WE SHALL MONOBATTLE
07:41
< Soren>
Oh, another thing:
07:41
< afny>
I call phoenix.
07:41
< Soren>
hee
07:41
< afny>
So I can LIFT.
07:41
< Soren>
stalker!
07:42
< Soren>
no, that's mean.
07:42
< Soren>
But.
07:42
< Soren>
that thing about third bases that gets overlooked is that if I can get one up, hidden and unmolested, I can *always* come back from a lost attack, I counter faster, and i can tech while rebuilding.
07:43
< afny>
Not to mention the extra minerals
07:43
< Soren>
if you've got that, plus a good plan for which unit is going to do the heavy lifting, you just get up four to eight of that production building and you can blast 'em.
07:43
< Soren>
IT's like making someone drink from a firehose.
07:44
< Soren>
That's why I prefer to attack later, wall, and defend, until I have enough up to play counter-and-expand.
07:46
< Soren>
MFZ analogy: you have seven guys, you need to do more... but you do have a slight advantage in that you've got a more forgiving configuration. What you do with each unit (micro) is less important than having a plan for all your units (macro)
07:47
< Soren>
I prefer the macro game, which is why I send guys to die a lot.
07:47
< Soren>
it's just, eh, if he holds it off, that's attention he's not spending on hunting down my expansions.
07:47
< Soren>
if it does damage, great.
07:48
< Soren>
But getting you locked down while I expand is all I need that attack to do.
07:51
< Soren>
Eventually, if I just keep macroing, I can hit you with that one attack that you can't resist.

Haha, I get it. Australia.

LAWL
08:09

HEY GUY what's it like BEING UPSIDE DOWN.
08:09
< afny>
I bet you FALL INTO THE SKY all the TIME.
08:09
< Dukayn>
Yeah it's a bitch
08:09
< afny>
Because you're in AUSTRALIA.
08:10
< Dukayn>
I would just like to point out that the US is stuck to the SIDE of the plent
08:10
< Dukayn>
plent? WTF?
08:10
< Dukayn>
no, planet
08:10
< Dukayn>
so you're just as likely to fall off.
08:10
< afny>
Hmmm I'm not following. Nope.
08:10
< afny>
We're on the TOP of the planet you see.
08:11
< afny>
And things GENERALLY fall downward.
08:11
< afny>
Look. I just dropped my eraser.
08:11
< afny>
It fell more or less down.
08:11
< Dukayn>
You are not on top, because you are not in the arctic circle my friend
08:12
< afny>
That's why my eraser only fell more or less down. Not STRAIGHT down.
08:13
< Soren>
You know, I hear the Chilean Navy has a whole unit dedicated to rescuing people who are hanging on to that little hook at the bottom of Patagonia.
08:14
< afny>
If ONLY they'd stop LIVING there!
08:14
< Dukayn>
I believe that
08:19

Oh, LOL

I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. It was like, "dude, you have to wait."

Ah good ol mitch hedberg

Haha yea
08:21
< MittenNinja>
Bananas re the exact opposite of a stop light. Green means hold on wait a bit. Yellow means go right ahaead. And red means where the fuck did you get that banana at.
08:21
< afny>
I read it in his voice.
08:22
< MittenNinja>
I was lucky enough to see him on his last show in Minneapolis before he died.
08:22
< MittenNinja>
Amazing show
08:22
< Soren>
I think I've got something interesting re: Osprey feet.

08:23

08:23
< Dukayn>
When did you get the LDD file?
08:24
< Dukayn>
ZOMG IP THEFT INSERT CHRONESQUE RANT HERE
08:24
< Dukayn>
Wait, Osprey feet or Kestrel feet?
08:25
< Dukayn>
And I have now just figured out that having kids makes you WAY more impatient than you used to be. It's like ADHD rubs off on you as a parent.
08:25
< MittenNinja>
See the differenceis you made that frame. Our friend chrons didn't make the frame he was claiming was stolen.
08:25
< Soren>
oops.
08:25
< Soren>
Kestrel
08:25
< Dukayn>
Ah, less confusion
08:27

Caffeine is a ridiculous drug
08:29
< Dukayn>
That looks sexy
08:29
< afny>
And I'm so happy that it affects you the same way it affects me; it makes you randomly capitalize things.
08:30
< afny>
I do it in speech, too. I just get real loud in the middle of a sentence, and talk really energetically. Then I start talking fast, but quiet.
08:30
< Dukayn>
LOL, "Get it off!"
08:30

I think I'm going to use it when I want to field a frame with no weapons
08:31
< afny>
or one df/movement and some combo of that
08:32
< afny>
really gotta replace the 2 way brick with a motor in that reverse knee frame
08:33
< afny>
I've improved that design a lot since I made that one
08:35
< Dukayn>
yeh
08:35
< Dukayn>
I like it.
08:35
< Dukayn>
E SO CUTE
08:36
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q2dzh9zity4aw72/Kestrel%20Legs.jpg HERE YOU GO
08:37
< Soren>
should work just fine with your hip design, too
08:38
< Soren>
Gives you heel and toe articulation like it's no big thing
08:39
< Dukayn>
That's nice
08:39
< Dukayn>
Any reason for the plate/tile on top of the round instead of a 2x2 round tile?
08:39
< Soren>
it's what I had on hand
08:40
< MittenNinja>
I like it. Very similar to the feet on my heavy Chubs
08:40
< afny>
you could also put an accent color round 1 x 1 in the empty slot in the knee.
08:41
< Dukayn>
cool I'll stick it in and have a play
08:41
< Dukayn>
I like it
08:41
< Soren>
thanks.
08:41
< Soren>
Just popped into my head.
08:41
< Soren>
Should be pretty stable, too.
08:41
< Dukayn>
Ya
08:42
< MittenNinja>
That's a technic 1x1 brick in there right?
08:42
< Soren>
yeah
08:42
< Soren>
but anything that connects.
08:42
< MittenNinja>
I really need to start using those more often.
08:43
< Dukayn>
FUCK YOU LDD
08:43
< Dukayn>
I can't put a technic brick on a travis stud
08:43
< MittenNinja>
Nope.
08:43
< afny>
See? It should die.
08:43

Ah well, I'm out anyway. Thanks for the tip I'll work with it.

08:44

Thanks man! Are you by chance giving away legos so you don't have to pack as many?
08:45
< Soren>
Well, I'm giving away either stuff I don't want, or stuff that I bought extras of for the custom stuff.
08:45
< Soren>
the good stuff, I'm keepin' :)
08:45
< MittenNinja>
Gotcha.
08:46
< afny>
Hey, Mitten
08:46
< afny>
are you like a moderator or something
08:46
< afny>
on the board?
08:46
< MittenNinja>
Hahaha. Well any extras of useful stuff you don't want ill totally take off yer hands :)
08:46
< afny>
Or Soren?
08:46
< MittenNinja>
I am not.
08:46
< Soren>
nope!
08:46
< afny>
Well then don't go to the 2nd page of the I Hate... thread in General.
08:46
< afny>
Because I'm pretty sure that's a picture of a prolapsed anus.
08:46
< Soren>
oh, dear.
08:47
< afny>
I didn't look all that close. It could be something else EQUALLY disgusting.
08:51
< MittenNinja>
That's friggin gross
08:54
< Soren>
I'm not looking.
08:54
< Soren>
I'm... fuck it, there goes my willpower.
08:54
< afny>
I accidentally clicked it AGAIN
08:54
< afny>
I don't think it's an anus anymore
08:54
< afny>
but I didn't gather any useful information.
08:54
< MittenNinja>
Whatever it is its disturbing and disgusting.
08:55
< MittenNinja>
This guy is ridiculous
09:00
< Soren>
'guy' seems optimistic.
09:00
< Soren>
He's either a 14-year-old kid or developmentally delayed.
09:00
< Soren>
severely delayed.
09:00
< MittenNinja>
Or both
09:01
< Soren>
you can't rule it out.
09:02
< Soren>
yeah, not there.
09:02
< Soren>
phew.
09:02
< Soren>
missed tha tbullet
09:02
< MittenNinja>
What's not there? The picture?
09:02
< Soren>
...he says, and sees it.
09:03
< Soren>
probably prolapsed rectum. That looks like anal mucus.
09:03
< MittenNinja>
I was gonna say
09:03
< Soren>
I used to have a friend named Paul. He's an RN.
09:03
< Soren>
He gets his jollies by showing people of gross genital damage and deformity.
09:03
< Soren>
The ones that are too gross for anyone but medical professionals.
09:03
< MittenNinja>
I'll take your word on It man. I've got nothing on this
09:04
< Soren>
That's bad, but it's on par with your average browse through 4chan.
09:04
< MittenNinja>
Yeah. I'll pass on those.
09:04
< Soren>
anyway, that could have been way worse.
09:04
< MittenNinja>
I'm not a 4chaner
09:04
< Soren>
it's still incredibly bad, and supremely bannable.
09:04
< MittenNinja>
Oh absolutely
09:06
< afny>
I've seen much worse on the internet
09:06
< afny>
b
09:06
< afny>
+ut that doesn't mean I looked closely.
09:08
< Soren>
I definitely closed it out.
09:09
< MittenNinja>
It's been reported too. Which means ceddo will get to it by mornibg
09:09
< Soren>
poor Ced. That's gonna fuck with his coffee and strudel something awful.
09:10
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, I almost wish I could see the look on his face.
09:13
< Soren>
I can imagine it.
09:14
< Soren>
funny thing. I could talk to the guy, and I honestly don't have anything against him.
09:14
< Soren>
But he's more or less proven that he just likes flipping out.
09:17
< Soren>
Shit, it's probably the only way he can get it up.
09:17
< Soren>
So he should get his ass banned with the quickness.
09:18
< afny>
I'm going to get my ass to bed with the quickness instead.

14:01

Which is bad, if you want to keep your money.
14:02

Ok here's a request, if you have the parts. Do you reckon you could brick up an Osprey so I can see what they look like in the brick?

Ah!
14:07
< Cedric>
Yeah sure I can do that. Lemme have a quick look. Can I have the LXF file of the variant you want me to build?
14:07
< Cedric>
Might not be in colour, but I can try.
14:07
< Dukayn>
Yeah that's cool
14:07
< Cedric>
It's gonna take me 6 hours, though.
14:08
< Dukayn>
not a prob, I'm just curious as to how they work in the real world
14:08
< Cedric>
Because, I am still at work, won't be home before another 5:30 has passed.
14:08
< Cedric>
Well, I'll look for loose connections and issues, to. Want me to post the images into your thread?
14:08

If I find anything superwobbly or loose, I can work on a fix while I am at it.

14:09

But yeah post the images to my Osprey Variants thread, that'd be great ta :)
14:10
< Cedric>
No prob. Lemme just check the parts list.
14:11
< Cedric>
I can probably build him in lime. :D
14:12
< Dukayn>
hahah
14:12
< Dukayn>
whatever you've got dude
14:12
< Cedric>
I ate through my last black travis bricks last night.
14:12
< Dukayn>
Not going to nitpick over a favour you're doing for me.
14:12
< Cedric>
Those Bloated Asps took 9 each.
14:12
< Cedric>
At least not 10 like the original! :D
14:13
< Dukayn>
HEH
14:13
< Dukayn>
Well the Osprey is 7
14:13
< Cedric>
Yeah, I can swing that in light bley.
14:13
< Dukayn>
4 for legs, 2 for shoulders, and 1 for torso/groin joint
14:14
< Cedric>
Mhmm ... yeah, I am sure I can build him.
14:16
< Dukayn>
AWesome, you rock

14:27
< Dukayn>
If you have the bits, do the rest in that colour scheme instead of trying to keep black/orange. If not, don't fret.
14:30
< Dukayn>
Oh I also found out you can force Anti-Aliasing into LDD through your graphics card control panel settings.
14:30
< Dukayn>
Needs a reboot, but it works. Looks so much nicer.
14:33
< Cedric>
Tell me how. :D
14:34
< Dukayn>
What graphics chip you running? ATI/AMD or Nvidia or some onboard crap?
14:35
< Cedric>
ATI Radeon Mobility.
14:35
< Dukayn>
Hmm ok
14:35
< Dukayn>
That uses Catalyst Control Centre right?
14:36
< Cedric>
Heh. It could.
14:36
< Cedric>
But I only use the drivers. No CCC.
14:36
< Dukayn>
ah yeah
14:36
< Dukayn>
good man :P
14:36
< Cedric>
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
14:36

That's what's in here.
14:37

Hmm. Not sure without the Control Center.
14:37
< Dukayn>
My only other GPU is an Nvidia
14:39
< Dukayn>
Win7?
14:42

So you said you checked your inventory before. Where do you have that listed?
15:07

My inventory?
15:07
< Cedric>
Or do you mean the parts list in LDD?
15:07
< Cedric>
I also see that schoon is doing a bad job.
15:07
< Dukayn>
No you said inventory. When checking if you had parts for an Osprey
15:07
< Cedric>
Nightingale Alphe is taking 2 hits.
15:08

I'll go in and fix that.
15:08

15:10

And then it was your turn again,.
15:10
< Cedric>
You activate your last 'frame, shooting up Carrot.
15:10
< Dukayn>
Then I shot Carrot
15:11
< Dukayn>
With a whopping 12 total :D
15:11
< Cedric>
Wait, not your last.
15:11
< Cedric>
You have 2, eh?
15:11
< Cedric>
Which Hawk was firing again?
15:11
< Dukayn>
Alpha
15:11
< Dukayn>
The one closest to his Eastern station
15:12
< Dukayn>
Which I'm thinking might be mine once his big guns have been worn down
15:12
< Cedric>
And then, Beta goes, eh?
15:13
< Cedric>
Can you quickly give me SH-Alpha's and Carrot rolls?
15:13
< Dukayn>
Carrot hasn't rolled yet
15:13
< Cedric>
Oh.
15:14
< Cedric>
Well, then SH-A. :D
15:14
< Dukayn>
Sparrowhawk Alpha's rolls: R2 R2 R7 G2 G3 W1 W2
15:14

fucken shithouse for move/defense
15:14

So Def 2 and Move 3. Where do you move?
15:14
< Cedric>
Yeah, I'll put that into the post. You'll like it. :D
15:15
< Dukayn>
Well, if I'm not quite in DF range of Carrot I'll be moving closer ;)
15:15

That your RP post?
15:43
< Dukayn>
Just loaded it up :P
15:43
< Cedric>
Yipp.
15:43
< Cedric>
Also: Don't like the Kestrel. :D
15:44
< Dukayn>
Heh
15:44
< Dukayn>
It's my least favourite I've made
15:44
< Dukayn>
It's also a Chub variant, but trying not to look like it
15:44
< Dukayn>
so it fails at both ends lol
15:45
< Cedric>
You're not gonna be happy with it.
15:45
< Cedric>
Next tot the Osprey, it'll fail. :D
15:45
< Dukayn>
I figured I should give it some attention
15:46
< Dukayn>
As it was the last frame I made in the brick
15:46
< Dukayn>
But alas I think it'll stay in storage at the Jotorian Armouries Field Testing Yard.

Hey Mittens
15:47
< MittenNinja>
Hows it goin?
15:47
< Cedric>
Well, let's talk about what's hot right now.
15:47
< MittenNinja>
you mean chrons?
15:48
< Cedric>
a.) Chrons is permabanned. For posting the picture of a bleeding asshole.
15:48
< Cedric>
With puss and more. It was quite gross.
15:48
< MittenNinja>
yep, saw that
15:48
< MittenNinja>
i was the one who reported it
15:48
< Cedric>
b.) New Iguana variant is up.
15:48
< MittenNinja>
saw that too
15:48
< Dukayn>
Thankfully I missed that picture
15:48
< MittenNinja>
looks good man
15:48
< Dukayn>
He must have edited it in later as I saw and responded to his post.
15:48
< Cedric>
Thanks. I just needed 2 'frames to get my serpents to 8. :D
15:48
< MittenNinja>
at first i was like "whats different?" then i looked harder
15:49
< Cedric>
So I whipped those up.
15:49
< MittenNinja>
nice subtle changes
15:49
< Cedric>
Oh yeah, it's subtle.
15:49
< MittenNinja>
and it looks good man
15:49
< Dukayn>
It certainly is subtle
15:49
< Cedric>
Thankies, glad you like it.
15:49
< Dukayn>
I couldn't tell either :P
15:49
< MittenNinja>
the biggest difference is the mounted gatling gun
15:49
< Cedric>
Yeah, I jus think that's cool. :D
15:50
< Cedric>
The side torsos are Travis-Headlight.
15:50
< Cedric>
Mounted sideways.
15:50
< Cedric>
The arms are Travis-Round-Claw
15:50
< Cedric>
The top hull is Jumper-1x2 tile, with the tile move up to meet the trans-black slope
15:51
< Cedric>
c.) Your PbP has no RP posts, ours does. :D
15:51
< Dukayn>
what makes a jumper a jumper?
15:51
< Dukayn>
I'm not familiar
15:51
< Cedric>
A 1x2 tile with a stud on top.
15:51
< Cedric>
Under "plate" in LDD.
15:51
< Dukayn>
ah right
15:51
< Cedric>
It's just called "jumper".
15:51
< Dukayn>
Ah ok
15:51
< MittenNinja>
yeah
15:51
< Dukayn>
I just call it 1x2 with single stud
15:51
< Cedric>
There's a 2x2 version of it, too.
15:51
< MittenNinja>
ours is much more tactics based
15:51
< Dukayn>
as that's what LDraw calls it
15:51
< Cedric>
Mittens: See, I didn't get to go yet.
15:52
< Cedric>
My tactics are ready for weeks. :D
15:52
< MittenNinja>
hahaha
15:52
< Dukayn>
And they all start with "Now that Duke has followed my plan, I can rape him in his butthole MUAHAHAHAHA"
15:52
< Cedric>
At least I get to go before Trilly.
15:52
< Cedric>
Why would I do that?
15:53
< Cedric>
Completely detrimental to my goals
15:53
< Cedric>
You are my friend.
15:53
< Dukayn>
Well
15:53
< Cedric>
A friend in need is a friend indeed. ;)
15:53
< MittenNinja>
Alrighty Duke.
15:53
< Dukayn>
Until Trilly's out of the picture
15:53
< Dukayn>
Unless you wanna go 50/50 in the goods?
15:53
< Dukayn>
My contract is negotiable.
15:53
< MittenNinja>
Im finally able to sit down at my home computer and look at that ldd file you sent me
15:53
< Dukayn>
heh, cool
15:53
< MittenNinja>
sometimes i fucking hate my job
15:53
< Cedric>
My contract tells me to make sure those mines don't fall into Roughneck hands.
15:54
< Cedric>
But UMFL losses are acceptable to my client.
15:54
< Dukayn>
You can have the mines. We just want the ore out of them. Once we have that, you can keep the fucken mines :P
15:55
< Dukayn>
This game so needs an option to pack up your stuff and run with it hahahah
15:55
< Cedric>
lol
15:55
< Cedric>
That would the best fucking button in an RTS ever.
15:55
< Dukayn>
It'd make snatch and grab missions possible for us pirate types
15:55
< Cedric>
"Fuck that noise and bounce? Yes/No"
15:56
< Cedric>
"CONFIRMED!"
15:56
< Cedric>
"You grabbed your shit and made like a tree and fucked off. Good job!"
15:56
< MittenNinja>
hahaha
15:56
< Cedric>
Easiest. Game. Ever.
15:56
< Cedric>
Totally pro at that. :D
15:57
< Cedric>
Dukey: Snatch&Grab, campaign style. You have to make it with one 'frame across the battlefield.
15:57
< Cedric>
ENJOY.
15:57
< Dukayn>
lol
15:57
< Dukayn>
Ok my frame is going to be BBGG. And he's just gonna RUUUUUUN!
15:58

Really? Sweet.
15:58

HtH in the face.
15:58

I've asked Ced to build me one :P

And I will!

Oh Ced, this is basically what the Nightingale will look like: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/NightingaleAlpha.png

Oh I got Anti Aliasing set on my laptop which has a radeon but it was through CCC
16:16
< Dukayn>
Ced, got a question about your RP post
16:18
< Cedric>
Hit me.
16:19
< Dukayn>
It reads to me like at some stage you got my Roughnecks confused with Trilly's UMFL guys
16:19
< Dukayn>
Or am I just reading it wrong?
16:19
< Cedric>
No, that is the case entirely.
16:20
< Cedric>
And I will go ahead and amend that.
16:20
< Cedric>
I just realized that, too.
16:20
< Cedric>
As soon as my internet works again, it will be fixed.
16:20
< Dukayn>
Ah cool
16:20

Because, FUCK THIS SHIT.
16:20

16:20

I don't LOL
16:21

TIME TO CIRCUMSIZE MY ASSHOLE. I hate this idle time.
16:21

It's already 1.20am
16:21
< Cedric>
In 10 minutes, this house will be empty.
16:21
< Cedric>
At 5:30, most people are gone.
16:21
< Cedric>
Guess who watches the phone until 8?
16:21
< Cedric>
Protip: It's easy.
16:22
< Dukayn>
You poor bastard
16:22
< Dukayn>
You can't divert to mobile or something?
16:24
< Cedric>
Fixed.
16:24
< Dukayn>
TCP or your phone situation? :P
16:24
< Dukayn>
or the RP
16:24
< Cedric>
RP.
16:24
< Dukayn>
Cool
16:25
< Dukayn>
I'm totes waiting for that arty frame of Trilly's to get a coherent energy blade in its metallic trachea.
16:35
< Cedric>
Dukey: My post has more icons than yours.
16:36
< Dukayn>
AAAAHHHHHH!
16:36
< Dukayn>
So many icons!
16:36
< Dukayn>
I think you may overload his optical nerve
16:37
< Mitten|Building>
Dukayn I hate to tell you this, but your build is a tad back heavy
16:37
< Cedric>
Thehehehe.
16:37
< Cedric>
Mittens: That's what I was dreading.
16:37
< Dukayn>
With the jump pack?
16:37
< Cedric>
The feet have little to no backrest.
16:37
< Mitten|Building>
without the jump pack
16:37
< Dukayn>
oh
16:37
< Dukayn>
drat
16:37
< Cedric>
You could hunch it forward.
16:37
< Cedric>
Or give it bigger feet.
16:38
< Mitten|Building>
i had to move the torso forward a full peg and hunch it over without the backpack to get it to stand easily
16:38
< Mitten|Building>
I'm gonna do some fiddling
16:38
< Cedric>
Actually, a single 1x1 plate attached with a 1x2 tile to the heel might work.
16:38
< Cedric>
Y'know what I mean?
16:38
< Dukayn>
I'm wondering why to be honest. In LDD everything is straight up and down, basically
16:39
< Dukayn>
it all centres around the middle of the frame.
16:39
< Cedric>
Center of mass, Dukey.
16:39
< Cedric>
You have a lot of the parts in the upper back. The further away from the point of rotation, the more impact miniscule shifts have.
16:39
< Cedric>
If you weight is in the hips, it's all good.
16:40
< Cedric>
If it's on the shoulderblades, it can be less weight, but still has more impact.
16:41
< Dukayn>
How did you move it a peg forward?
16:47
< Cedric>
The suspense is killing me.
16:55
< Mitten|Building>
Alrighty
16:55
< Mitten|Building>
first attempt
16:55
< Mitten|Building>
I changed up the legs a bit
16:56
< Cedric>
I'm so stoked!
16:56
< Mitten|Building>
and put the "jamming packs" between the shoulders and the cockpit
16:56
< Mitten|Building>
this is for the 2x hth 2x y build

But it's looking good
16:59
< Mitten|Building>
what do you like what dont you like?
16:59
< Mitten|Building>
and yeah, the colors are just to get a rough build together :)
16:59
< Dukayn>
I love how the cockpit looks
16:59
<~Noah>
I like the colors, keep them
17:00
< Dukayn>
The new legs, not bad actually
17:00
< Dukayn>
Less bulky
17:00
< Mitten|Building>
i really like how that first wedge flows into the feet
17:00
< Dukayn>
Yeah
17:01
< Mitten|Building>
thoughts on the jammers?
17:01
< Dukayn>
Is that more or less sturdy than my leg design?
17:01
< Mitten|Building>
about just as sturdy
17:01
< Dukayn>
Mine *looks* more sturdy but that could just be because it's bulkier
17:01
< Mitten|Building>
with a little more articulation
17:01
< Cedric>
That thing looks crazy. :D
17:01
< Dukayn>
articulation is good :)
17:01
< Dukayn>
The jammers, well, I dunno.
17:01
< Mitten|Building>
i should rephrase that
17:01
< Dukayn>
Not sure I like cramping the cockpit
17:01
< Mitten|Building>
more "usable" articulation
17:01
< Dukayn>
fair call
17:02
< Mitten|Building>
so different jammers, anything else you dont like the look of?
17:03
<~Noah>
Neads more color
17:03
< Dukayn>
Well the guns are a bit bare, but I imagine you don't have spare tiles or whatnot and it's not a biggie
17:03
< Mitten|Building>
ill get some greens in the next build for ya :)
17:03
<~Noah>
Replace all the bley with as much color as you can
17:03
< Mitten|Building>
yeah, i just didn't want to go digging for my like 4 1x3 tiles
17:03
< Dukayn>
Heh that's fine :)
17:04
< Dukayn>
I notice the torso just clips onto the motor in the hips, is that because of lack of parts or to make it more stable?
17:05
< Mitten|Building>
stability
17:05
< Mitten|Building>
its on a jumper though so you can still rotate the torso
17:05
< Dukayn>
So the travis/t-piece bit wasn't any good?
17:05
< Mitten|Building>
it was ok
17:06
< Mitten|Building>
but with the 1x2 hinge pieces it made the torso super flimsy and put more weight at the back of the frame
17:06
< Dukayn>
Ah ok
17:06
< Dukayn>
Cool
17:06
< Mitten|Building>
my mantra with such things is simpler is better
17:06
< Mitten|Building>
this setpu gives it a nice center of gravity while maintaining the rotation
17:07
< Mitten|Building>
and uses less travis bricks :)
17:07
< Dukayn>
Yeah
17:07
< Dukayn>
My only dislike with that is it loses almost 5p worth of height
17:08
< Dukayn>
and looks kinda cramped
17:08
< Mitten|Building>
cool
17:08
< Mitten|Building>
i can work with that
17:08
< Dukayn>
Might work to angle the motor forward more maybe?
17:09
< Dukayn>
Can rotate the upper torso back to remain level and brings the centre of gravity forward.
17:09
< Mitten|Building>
it wont go forward too far without bumping into the clips
17:09
< Mitten|Building>
i might just drop the t-pieces and go with tas and see how that works
17:09
< Mitten|Building>
*taps
17:10
< Dukayn>
Ah yeah I see
17:10
< Mitten|Building>
BACK TO BUILDING
17:10
< Dukayn>
Goes all the way back but fuck all forward :P
17:11
< Dukayn>
8 degrees, to be exact
17:11
< Dukayn>
in LDD anyway
17:17
< Dukayn>
Hmm, what connects the bottom travis to the toes?
17:20
<~Noah>
Maaaaagiiiiiic
17:21
< Dukayn>
You're so helpful

17:28
< Mitten|Building>
Duke
17:29
< Mitten|Building>
so with the jammers the only thing you didnt like was the fact that they crowded the cockpit?
17:29
< Mitten|Building>
or you didnt like the jammers?
17:30
< Dukayn>
Yeah not a fan of the design myself
17:30
< Mitten|Building>
cool;
17:30
< Cedric>
We spent hours on those Jammers, man.
17:30
< Cedric>
HOURS.
17:30
< Dukayn>
What the yellow drums Mittens put on?
17:30
< Cedric>
We had a chaff module, an ECM module, Jetpacks, etc.
17:30
< Dukayn>
We didn't do those.
17:31
< Cedric>
Noperskates.
17:31

I reckon Ced's little triple barrel ECM suite would still fit on the back without tipping it.

< MittenNinja_>
heya
19:52
< Soren>
hey
19:52
< MittenNinja_>
threw together a sand green fat sanke.
19:52
< Soren>
oooh
19:52
< Ceddo>
Sup, baby-babies.
19:52
< Ceddo>
Yeah, I just saw that. Spiffy.
19:52

19:53
< MittenNinja_>
Not ideal
19:53
< MittenNinja_>
but with the sand green i have at the moment it works
19:53
< Ceddo>
Today's goal: Posting my current weapon models. I have reached 4 ranged and a buttload of melee weapons. It is time again. :D
19:53
< Soren>
mmmm. Yeah.
19:53 MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-e9df5d72.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds]
19:54
< Ceddo>
NINJA DOWN.
19:54
< Soren>
That does look nice
19:54
< MittenNinja_>
i need some more 1x2 tiles
19:54
< MittenNinja_>
nah im here
19:54
< MittenNinja_>
and some sand green healights
19:54
< MittenNinja_>
and those teeth things
19:54
< Soren>
I think on a sand green version, we'd have to cut the headlight brick count a bit.
19:54
< MittenNinja_>
yeah maybe
19:55
< MittenNinja_>
but some more tiles for sure
19:55
< MittenNinja_>
and the teeth
19:55
< Soren>
oh, yes
19:55
< Soren>
hang on.
19:55 * MittenNinja_ hangs on for dear life
19:57
< MittenNinja_>
i'd want headlights for the shoulders at least
19:57
< MittenNinja_>
sand green ones i mean
19:57
< MittenNinja_>
everything else im okay with black
19:57
< Ceddo>
Sandgreen Headlight bricks?
19:57
< MittenNinja_>
yeah
19:57
< Soren>
yeah, I'm just trying to think of alternate options
19:57
< MittenNinja_>
they're like $3 a pop
19:58
< Ceddo>
How about some glitter-trans-purple 1x2 bar plates, too? :D
19:58
< MittenNinja_>
I'm thinking dark puprle should be the command color for the pit vipers
19:59
< Soren>
Yeah, it looks like the only part that's available in sand green *is* the headlight
19:59
< Soren>
I was hoping for a technic brick
19:59
< MittenNinja_>
yeah.
19:59
< Soren>
oh, right!
19:59
< MittenNinja_>
I'm cool with black for the arms and legs. But I want to get Sand Green for the shoulders
19:59
< Soren>
I would do the arms in a dark grey
20:00
< MittenNinja_>
yeah?
20:00
< Soren>
gives it more definition while still letting you save some headlight bricks
20:00
< Soren>
dark grey and sand green is deadly.
20:00
< MittenNinja_>
hrmm
20:00
< MittenNinja_>
i'll need to get some dbley headlights then
20:01
< Soren>
those are noticeably cheaper.
20:01
< MittenNinja_>
yeah
20:01
< Soren>
https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/302272642/ But, I demonstrate.
20:02
< MittenNinja_>
that is pretty damn slick
20:02
< Soren>
ty. I should find some pics of the back skirt, which got really crazy
20:03
< MittenNinja_>
yeah cheapest price for a sand green headlight on BL is $1.85
20:03
< MittenNinja_>
I'd like to see it!
20:04 MittenNinja_ is now known as MittenNinja
20:06
< MittenNinja>
Gah! I really dont want to spend almost $20 on ten pieces
20:06
< Soren>
ouch
20:06
< MittenNinja>
yeah
20:06
< MittenNinja>
cheapest price with any decent quantity (10) is $1.85 each
20:07
< MittenNinja>
that would be enough for 5 fat snakes too
20:08
< MittenNinja>
Eventually, I'd like to have 5 fat snakes of a few different camo shcemes
20:09
< Soren>
Oh, silly me. you could mix in some regular green for just the shoulders and the chest.
20:09
< Soren>
that might do it.
20:11
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, but it wont look that good when their with iguanas and heavy chubs
20:11
< MittenNinja>
*they're
20:12
< Soren>
perhaps, yeah
20:21
< MittenNinja>
idk
20:21
< MittenNinja>
I'm not going to go buying them now
20:21
< Soren>
that's an excellent idea.
20:21
< MittenNinja>
dont have much of a choice
20:21
< Ceddo>
See, my approach is the complete opposite.
20:22
< MittenNinja>
we're closing on our new house on tuesday
20:24
< MittenNinja>
yeah
20:24
< MittenNinja>
i'd sped the money if i had the disposable income at the moment
20:24
< MittenNinja>
but i wont for a month or two
20:25
< Soren>
ah, yeah. That's sensible
20:25
< Soren>
They'll probably still be there when you do have the money
20:25
< MittenNinja>
probably
20:25 * Soren glares at Ced
20:26
< Soren>
at least, they better be :)
20:26
< MittenNinja>
haha
20:26
< Ceddo>
Who are you looking at?
20:26
< Ceddo>
And why?
20:26
< MittenNinja>
why not?
20:26 * Ceddo opens Bricklink in the background.
20:28
< MittenNinja>
jesus the 1x1 tiles are pretty bad too
20:29
< Soren>
see, I got mine when they were in sets.
20:29
< Soren>
So I don't know what this shit costs.
20:31
< MittenNinja>
it's still cheaper to get these on bricklink
20:31
< Soren>
well, yeah
20:31
< MittenNinja>
pay $60 for a set that has 2 1x2 tiles and some slopes
20:31
< MittenNinja>
or pay $2 a piece
20:32
< Soren>
I've familiar with this arrangement, yeah
20:32
< Soren>
I'm*
20:32
< Soren>
trying to remember which one.
20:33
< Soren>
there was other cool stuff, though, like tan bricks and dark orange plates.
20:33
< Soren>
I'm usually happy to buy sets if they actually have a lot of neat parts in them
20:33
< MittenNinja>
yeah, but you also build other stuff besides MFZ
20:34
< Soren>
it's true.
20:35
< Soren>
You'd be surprised what you can dump excess parts into, though.
20:35
< Soren>
terrain is forgiving
20:35
< MittenNinja>
hahaha
20:36
< MittenNinja>
I
20:36
< MittenNinja>
*I'd totally give up a bunch of the random legos i have in my bins for useful MFZ stuff
20:37
< Soren>
That might be a trade we can rock, if I have enough leftovers and you have enough cool random stuff
20:38
< MittenNinja>
You're welcome to take a look man
20:38
< Ceddo>
Yo, Mittens.
20:38
< MittenNinja>
yo Ceddo
20:38
< Ceddo>
Want me to take an inventory of my shit?
20:39
< Ceddo>
And you take a look, maybe find something to trade around? :D
20:39
< MittenNinja>
sure if ya want
20:39
< Ceddo>
Because, I have ONLY MFZ capable parts.
20:39
< Ceddo>
Sure. Gonna take a fucking while, though. :D
20:39
< MittenNinja>
hahaha
20:39
< MittenNinja>
mine still aren't even organized completely yet
20:40
< MittenNinja>
After Comic con i'm going to tear down all the guys i have for my companies now
20:40
< MittenNinja>
thats my biggest issue right now is all my parts are soaked into those
20:43
< MittenNinja>
Oh man
20:43
< MittenNinja>
i think im out of t-pieces
20:43
< MittenNinja>
i didnt think this day would come
20:44
< Soren>
heh
20:45
< Soren>
I really much be the only person who doesn't just form a puddle over that piece.
20:46
< Soren>
must*
20:46
< MittenNinja>
I've started using it more for knees and such
20:46
< MittenNinja>
like with the heavy chubs
20:46
< MittenNinja>
and elbows on iguanas
20:49
< MittenNinja>
TIME FOR TACO BELL
20:49 MittenNinja is now known as Mitten|Tacos
20:51
< Ceddo>
I HAVE 100 T PIECES.
20:51
< Ceddo>
THEY ARE WINSAWCE.
20:52
< Soren>
Oh, they're fine. I'm just not a member of the TS FOR EVERY JOINT club
20:53
< Soren>
I probably should get some more, though
21:13
< Mitten|Tacos>
I think a lot of that stemmed from ldd not allowing tap connections
21:13 Mitten|Tacos is now known as MittenNinja
21:13
< Soren>
welllm even before there was an LDD.
21:13
< MittenNinja>
oh
21:13
< Soren>
back in 2004.
21:13 * MittenNinja shuts his mouth
21:14
< Soren>
otherpeople were just FREAKING that suddely they were widely available, and I just wasn't on that boat.
21:14
< Soren>
they come in two colors, that are both gray. They're useful, sure, but they have limitations.
21:14
< MittenNinja>
agreed
21:16
< Soren>
the problem I've had with them is usually that they're too wide through one axis of rotation that I need, or that they're just the right size but can't hold enough weight.
21:16
< Soren>
So, not terrible, just overhyped.
21:18
< Soren>
I'd rather everybody has a pretty broad range of joint tricks to use as needed than going straight for the Ts and clips every time
21:18
< MittenNinja>
absolutely
21:25
< Ceddo>
One day.
21:25
< Ceddo>
I will find a retardedly awesome connection.
21:25
< Ceddo>
Bitches will flock to me.
21:25
< Ceddo>
Bros will revere me as their overlord.
21:25
< Ceddo>
And I will just play it off cool.
21:25
< Soren>
hah
21:25
< Ceddo>
And name it after my father.
21:26
< Soren>
you're about ten years too late for that, I'm afraid.
21:26
< Ceddo>
NO.
21:26
< Soren>
All the low-hanging fruit has been picked
21:27
< Ceddo>
I will find high hanging fruit.
21:27
< Soren>
I can show you some places to look.
21:28
< Soren>
technic/system integration is a big one. I've more or less made my reputation on it.
21:28
< Soren>
Very few people do it well.
21:28
< Ceddo>
That fruit is tainted by your manjuice.
21:28
< Soren>
That's a smoothie, with yogurt.
21:28
< Soren>
You're fantasizing again.
21:29
< Ceddo>
Of your man juice?
21:29
< Ceddo>
Let's chat in the living room.
21:32
< Ceddo>
I am way too excited about my purple and pink firing exxects.
21:32
< Soren>
something about those colors just taps into the aesthetic really precisely
21:35
< Ceddo>
Indeed.
21:35
< Ceddo>
They are quite sexy.
21:39
< Soren>
I think... Hmm!
21:39
< Ceddo>
The wait for parts is the worst.
21:40
< Soren>
I *do* have a purple pin joiner
21:40
< Soren>
...and a bunch of teal.
21:40
< Soren>
time to make a shield generator.
21:48
< Ceddo>
I am awaiting for my purple swirly dishes.
21:51
< Soren>
oho?
21:51
< Soren>
I don't think we talked about those.
21:51
< Soren>
I'm curious what you have in mind.
21:51
< Ceddo>
Let me show you.
21:52
< Ceddo>
http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3960px2.jpg?0
21:54
< Soren>
ooooh.
21:54
< Soren>
yes.
21:54
< Soren>
those are going to be neat.
21:54
< Ceddo>
Yipp. :)
21:55
< Ceddo>
Other than that, standard stuff.
21:55
< Soren>
I think I might have one, actually.
21:55
< Soren>
Somewhere
21:55
< Ceddo>
Snow flakes, cones, 1x1 round plates, etc.
21:57
< Soren>
1x1 round plates ar emy nemesis.
21:57
< Soren>
are my*
21:57
< Soren>
I can never, ever have enough, because they're so useful that I just burn through them no matter what.
21:59
< Ceddo>
I know. It's bad.
21:59
< Ceddo>
They are everything.
21:59
< Ceddo>
Covers. Joints. They leave room for articulation.
21:59
< Soren>
and they make nice tiny details.
22:00
< Soren>
with a round tile on top, I can think of some crazy uses.
22:00
< Ceddo>
So greebly.
22:00
< Soren>
like a carapace studded with electrode for double HtH zapping
22:00
< Soren>
+s
22:02
< Ceddo>
I dare you.
22:02
< Ceddo>
Do it.
22:03
< Soren>
I'll have to get lotion for my finger. That shit will destroy them.
22:03
< Soren>
fingers*
22:03
< Soren>
CANNOT PLURALIZE
22:04
< Ceddo>
Really? Kchchchch.
22:04
< Ceddo>
YOU HAVE SOFT HANDS.
22:04
< Soren>
And someone who is deeply invested in them staying that way.
22:05
< Ceddo>
Okay then.
22:05
< Ceddo>
You massage me.
22:05 * Soren pulls out a rubber-tipped jackhammer.
22:05
< Soren>
Okay.
22:06
< Ceddo>
When you and I are together, there*s a ground rule.
22:06
< Ceddo>
No tools.
22:06
< Soren>
How are we going to build a trebuchet without tools?
22:06
< Ceddo>
With determination and gu,
22:06
< Ceddo>
*gum.
22:07
< Ceddo>
I love my roomie. He just turned "Fall before the righteous" into "Hole inside the right chest."
22:18
< MittenNinja>
Soren, what kind of "interesting" legos would you be looking for?
22:18
< Soren>
let's see.
22:18
< Soren>
it depends.
22:18
< MittenNinja>
i do have some pretty old stuff
22:18
< MittenNinja>
not a ton of it
22:19
< MittenNinja>
but i do have some m-tron/blacktron stuff
22:19
< Soren>
hmm!
22:19
< MittenNinja>
some old school space stuff
22:19
< Soren>
arrow tiles.
22:19
< MittenNinja>
like 1x2s?
22:19
< Soren>
yeah
22:19
< MittenNinja>
white with yellow arrows
22:19
< Soren>
rocket fins.
22:19
< MittenNinja>
i have a pretty good amount of those
22:19
< Soren>
transparent 6x6 plates ;)
22:19
< MittenNinja>
i might have one or two
22:20
< MittenNinja>
ill have to do some digging
22:20
< Soren>
sure. And it might have to wait until I get settled in KL.
22:20
< MittenNinja>
thats all good man
22:21
< Ceddo>
Love those rocket fins.
22:21
< Soren>
Oh! so, I went to town on those legs from last night some more.
22:21
< Soren>
I should be good, and take a picture.
22:21
< MittenNinja>
you do mean these right?
22:21
< MittenNinja>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4591
22:22
< Ceddo>
Nah!
22:22
< Ceddo>
The little ones.
22:22
< MittenNinja>
the 1x1
22:22
< MittenNinja>
cool
22:22
< MittenNinja>
ive got a bunch of those too
22:22
< Soren>
those too, actually, depending on condition
22:23
< MittenNinja>
any specific modified bricks or anything i should keep an eye of for?
22:23
< Soren>
if you see something and think 'I'm not sure how you use this', shoot me a pic and we can see.
22:23
< Soren>
I like challenges.
22:24
< MittenNinja>
:)
22:24
< MittenNinja>
speaking of challenges
22:24
< MittenNinja>
I've got a couple ideas to work off of for that siren neptune
22:24
< Soren>
ohoho
22:24
< Soren>
yay.
22:25
< MittenNinja>
I think i may have the foot figured out
22:26
< MittenNinja>
i just have to figure out a good heel connection for it
22:27
< MittenNinja>
how about a 6x8 trans yellow plate?
22:27
< Soren>
that works.
22:28
< MittenNinja>
here's the bin im digging through right now https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6vrg26cltwbxj7/DSC_0593.JPG
22:28
< Soren>
I've been hoping someone will have the trans-light-blue 8x8 plates for cheap. I should check back up on that.
22:30
< MittenNinja>
do you want any m-tron or b-tron branded stuff?
22:32
< Soren>
Well, I was thinking of doing some ridiculously camp Manly Men with the M-tron torso.
22:32
< MittenNinja>
haha
22:32
< Soren>
so, those printed tiles and torsos would be hilarious.
22:33
< MittenNinja>
do you want those m-tron 1x2 tile control panels?
22:33
< Soren>
Oh man, I'm loaded up on those.
22:34
< Soren>
also, you should keep them, they're so good at 7p scale.
22:34
< Ceddo>
I always wonder what to use them for.
22:34
< Soren>
build a command post, and set those up on bar plates as control surfaces.
22:34
< Soren>
bar plate+clip+2x2 dish as a stand.
22:34
< Soren>
I'll demonstrate.
22:37
< Ceddo>
Please do.
22:42
< MittenNinja>
Oh hey! A Travis brick!
22:45
< Soren>
oh, and hey, I'll take those 4x4 tan plates off your hands ;)

So cute.
22:47
< MittenNinja>
consider them yours
22:48
< Soren>
well, I'll be up-front, they're great for basing terrain doodads. If you reconsider, I'll understand
22:48
< MittenNinja>
nah its all good
22:48
< Soren>
fair enough!
22:49
< Soren>
those technic liftarms could be great fun.
22:49
< MittenNinja>
?
22:49
< Soren>
the bent ones, with the round ends.
22:49
< Soren>
I can put those to work, no problem.
22:50
< MittenNinja>
ah those guys
22:50
< MittenNinja>
sure
22:50
< MittenNinja>
do you want non bent ones too
22:50
< Soren>
sure, I'll take them all.
22:50
< Soren>
again, those can come in handy at MFZ scales.
22:51
< Soren>
if you wanna hang on to them, I understand.
22:51
< MittenNinja>
im pretty much only interested in frame parts
22:52
< Soren>
ah, but stations, terrain - also good to have stuff for.
22:52
< MittenNinja>
true
22:55
< Soren>
oh, something I discovered - one of the best ways to clean old lego? cheap vinegar.
22:55
< Soren>
just seal it up in a ziplock bag, and it'll take the grime right off.
22:55
< MittenNinja>
really?
22:55
< MittenNinja>
i'll have to try that out
22:55
< Soren>
yeah. Just get the cheap stuff they sell for cleaning.
22:56
< MittenNinja>
ive got a couple more shots of stuff in that bin
22:56
< MittenNinja>

23:00
< Soren>
ooh, scaffold bricks.
23:00
< Soren>
If you're really, truly sure you don't want those, I'll take them off your hands.
23:00
< MittenNinja>
the red pillar things?
23:00
< Soren>
yeah
23:00
< MittenNinja>
you got it
23:01
< Soren>
also, that cypress tree is worth a nontrivial chunk of change on Bricklink.
23:01
< MittenNinja>
hrmmmm
23:01
< Soren>
if you have a chance, some of this stuff would be worth listing and starting a shop for, to pay for frame parts. Or just trading for more frame bits.
23:01
< MittenNinja>
for sure
23:01

23:41
< Ceddo>
Understood. I can throw some in. 10 of each or so.
23:41
< Soren>
I'm grabbing some, but those are much-loved when they show up.

< Ceddo>
My main colors are dark blue, medium lavender, tan and black.
23:48
< Ceddo>
I dabble in dark grey.

23:52
< Dukayn>
Mitten - yeah, that's cool ta
23:52
< Dukayn>
So, that's MORE stable than just the T-piece slotted into the motor?
23:52
< MittenNinja>
yessir
23:53
< MittenNinja>
it has more to do with balance
23:53
< Ceddo>
Dukey: Lemme check what I can get ready to go RIGHT NOW.
23:53
< Dukayn>
It's also a whole travis higher haha
23:53

< MittenNinja>
*wanted
23:54
< Dukayn>
Heh, true
23:54
< Ceddo>
SO!
23:54
< Dukayn>
I didn't think you'd make it taller than I designed it. It's not a problem I'm just surprised.
23:55
< MittenNinja>
It should be pretty easy to knock down a brick if you want
23:55
< Ceddo>
Dukey: 8 Harpoons, black.
23:56
< Ceddo>
20 T pieces.
23:57

23:57
< Ceddo>
20 black Taps.
23:57
< Dukayn>
If you don't need em
23:58
< Dukayn>
Mitten: If we put the T-piece straight into the Travis on the motor it'd upset the whole thing I'm guessing.
23:58 * Dukayn sighs. LDD servers still down
23:58
< MittenNinja>
the torso wont sit in the same position no
23:58
< Ceddo>
10 Travis, black.
23:58
