<@Ced23Ric>
Heh.
00:02
<@Ced23Ric>
Okay.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
All my lego is sorted.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Which sounds like "not bad".
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
But to put things in perspective.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
This is the fallout of ~30h building. Tearing down 12 'frames. Building 8 'frames. 7 shipments arriving.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Actually, building 14 'frames and fixing one.
00:04 * Ced23Ric feels very accomplished.
00:05
< afny>
I feel accomplished after shoving three minifig hands into frame heads
00:05
< afny>
but I wish I'd waited to take pictures until now, because they look so much better
00:05
< afny>
what are you building NEXT
00:05
< afny>
now that you've reached the end of an era
00:13
<@Ced23Ric>
I know.
00:14
<@Ced23Ric>
I feel a bit empty.
00:14
<@Ced23Ric>
But Danni's company has only 7 'frames.
00:14
<@Ced23Ric>
*rubs chin*
00:14
< afny>
are they all minxes
00:14
<@Ced23Ric>
Yupp.

< afny>
nice, I hadn't seen those bricked up
00:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Finished 'em today.
00:24
< afny>
did he do the dicebuild
00:24
< afny>
or did you?
00:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, we did.
00:24
<@Ced23Ric>
I explained to him my reasoning and how the game worked.
00:24
<@Ced23Ric>
And we played some games.
00:24
<@Ced23Ric>
He decided how many of what.
00:25
<@Ced23Ric>
And then we played a mock game with it.
00:25
<@Ced23Ric>
Considering he's never been on the forums or read the PDF, he has a really good grip of the game.
00:25
< afny>
probably a better understanding than lots of the people on the forum
00:25
< afny>
considering he's actually played it
00:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Heh, yeah.
00:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, and ... me.
00:26
< afny>
are you implying that you are the forum incarnate
00:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Not to toot my own horn here, but we know each other for a long time.
00:26
<@Ced23Ric>
And I can explain things to him in literally no time.
00:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Eh, meh.
00:27
< afny>
It's a more efficient way to learn a games rules, anyway
00:27
<@Ced23Ric>
I do have the uncanny ability to soak up knowledge. :D
00:27
<@Ced23Ric>
And since it's an easy engine and I love cracking engines ...
00:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Danni never played D&D or NWN before.
00:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Explained it to him.
00:28
<@Ced23Ric>
3 weeks later, he had a Warlock, which are limited to 5 on the server we play on.
00:28
<@Ced23Ric>
And a fighter with smithing through the roof.
00:28
<@Ced23Ric>
And a Cle/Bbn/Ftr with insane damage output.
00:29
<@Ced23Ric>
And a Ftr/Brd with insane ranged damage output.
00:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Admittedly, I helped him, but he instantly understood the hows and the whats.
00:29
<@Ced23Ric>
So, yeah. Danni's a smart kid. ;)
00:29
<@Ced23Ric>
He SUCKS at designing.
00:30
< afny>
I just wondered if he agreed with your assessment of dicebuilds
00:30
< afny>
but it's clear that he DID
00:30
<@Ced23Ric>
Like, he couldn't design his way out of a snakepit if he wanted to.
00:30
< afny>
you should sit him down at a desk
00:30
< afny>
shine a light in his face
00:30
< afny>
and pour out a tray of legos in front of him
00:30
< afny>
say
00:30
< afny>
MAKE A FRAME
00:30
<@Ced23Ric>
LOL.
00:30
< afny>
YOU HAVE TWO HOURS
00:30
<@Ced23Ric>
He does that.
00:30
< afny>
and then post the results
00:30
<@Ced23Ric>
He actually builds stuff.
00:31
<@Ced23Ric>
But ...
00:31
<@Ced23Ric>
*scratches head*
00:31
<@Ced23Ric>
I mean, he took my Lego police man key chain thingey ...
00:31
<@Ced23Ric>
... and built a go kart. With 3x3 light transblue dishes as wheels.
00:31
< afny>
genius.
00:31
<@Ced23Ric>
And he took about 50 blue halfpins.
00:32
<@Ced23Ric>
And stuffed them onto parts until he declared them rotating missile batteries.
00:32
<@Ced23Ric>
And slapped them onto that house I built.
00:32
< afny>
A home security system.
00:32
<@Ced23Ric>
"MY STATION CAN DEFEND ITSELF. WHAT ABOUT YOURS, HUH?!"
00:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Actual quote.
00:33
<@Ced23Ric>
The best part are his shortcuts.
00:33
<@Ced23Ric>
He sees some contraption or half-assembled or half-torn blob in the pile.
00:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Grabs it.
00:33
<@Ced23Ric>
And continues right there. :D
00:33
< afny>
He's UNBRIDLED.
00:34
<@Ced23Ric>
And he kept calling my earliest weapons hair-dryers.
00:34
<@Ced23Ric>
"THE ATTACK OF THE ANGRY HAIR DRESSERS!"
00:34
<@Ced23Ric>
"Dude, it's a rifle."
00:34
<@Ced23Ric>
"Nah, Chris. It's a hair-dryer. Wheeeeeeeee..."
00:35
< afny>
That's just useful constructive criticism right there.
00:36
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, his favourite part time is trolling me.
00:37
<@Ced23Ric>
But he in the end drove me to build those tacticool weapons.
00:37
<@Ced23Ric>
And he even praises them, so there's that.
00:38

00:52
<@randolph>
but there aren't any black cargo boxes IRL, AFAIK
00:52
<@randolph>
they're mostly rust-red, yellow, dull dark bley, and...
00:52
<@randolph>
I guess blue
00:52
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, black boxes would suck.
00:52
<@Ced23Ric>

<@Ced23Ric>
The closeest are the 13th Guard (all Chubs) and the Raiders (all Minxes). They share black and dark blue.
01:14
<@Ced23Ric>
But the 13th has dark grey added.
01:14
<@Ced23Ric>
And Chubs ain't Minxes.
01:14
<@Ced23Ric>
So ... I could never get confused there.
01:15

Debating on getting rid of either the face scanner or the antenna on Vale.

02:07

Well, I just realised, after all this sorting and stuff ..

<@Ceddobear>
Because black on black reads like shit.
02:09
<+afny>
yeah, black on black chubs heads only work if you do a LOT of black
02:09

and do your guts just right, like all in light bley

So, yeah. Building time again.

I fear my sister

02:19

Ah, Chub heads.

See, I do the 2x2 plate, then one trans plate, 2 solids and a wrench.
02:19
<@Ceddobear>
As an antenna.
02:19
<@Ceddobear>
It looks so good.
02:23
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, much better.
02:23
<@Ceddobear>
Okay.
02:23
<@Ceddobear>
Changed the heads.
02:24
<@Ceddobear>
I'm really happy how they all turned out.
02:24
<@Ceddobear>
With the tan/lime guys, they all have some sort of special equip.
02:24
<@Ceddobear>
3x SSR, 2x Sensor Dome, one guy has binocs strapped to his backmodule and a sniper rifle, the other a massive bazooka.
02:25
<@Ceddobear>
Sniper and Anti-Tank have holdout SMGs, erryone else has grenades.
02:25
<@Ceddobear>
The rifles are operator as all hell, too.
02:25
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, really is my best company so far.
02:25

what I'm saying here is that their NICHE is being rapidly OVERRUN

I want to take pictures of these but I feel like three guns isn't enough for a picture
05:54
<@randolph>
Sure it is
05:54
<@randolph>
Especially if they're worth it
05:54
< afny>
one or two more
05:54
< afny>
hm
05:54
< afny>
I've got like
05:54
<@randolph>
Hell, ONE gun is enough, if you put it on a pedastal
05:54
< afny>
some sort of modern assault rifle
05:55
< afny>
a bigger riffle with a suppressor
05:55
< afny>
and a small sniper
05:55
< afny>
I need...

05:55 MoF0-6530 [rsbdnvbwein@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0
05:55
< afny>
maybe a pistol
05:55
<@randolph>
is what occurred to me when you said "Modern Assault Rifle"
05:55
< afny>
and another carbine?
05:55 MoF0-6530 is now known as Mantisking
05:55
< afny>
well alright then
05:55
<@randolph>
Pistols are hard :|
05:55
<@randolph>
Here's why, in my mind:
05:55
< afny>
yeah, I actually don't think I can do a pistol without taps
05:55
<@randolph>
You've got giant robots, right?
05:55
<@randolph>
So... scale is not the issue
05:56
<@randolph>
Stopping power scales up
05:56
< afny>
all the ways I can do handle connections are too large for pistols
05:56
<@randolph>
Why would you ever have a pistol?
05:56
<@randolph>
There's literally no reason to have a pistol anymore
05:56
< afny>
well a pistol is still useful in some contexts
05:56
< afny>
ala Patlabor
05:56
<@randolph>
Integrated hardmount
05:56
< afny>
Sometimes you don't need the biggest gun
05:56
<@randolph>
Sure
05:56
<@randolph>
But if it's that small, it shouldn't be able to be taken away
05:57
< afny>
I just don't think you appreciate how COOL it is for a 15 foot mech to have a revolver
05:57
<@randolph>
I know it's verging on "LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU" territory, so I'll drop it
05:57
< afny>
I mean, realistically, sure, you're right
05:57
< afny>
you'd mount that kind of weapon in the head or something
05:57
< afny>
but come on.
05:57
< afny>
pistols.
05:57
<@randolph>
HEAD. CANNON.
05:57
<@randolph>
Therefore, your argument is invalid
05:57
<@randolph>
(kidding)
05:58
<@randolph>
I mean, I'm the guy who made the Velvet Glove series, I'm not going to argue with sticking as many guns everywhere as possible
05:58
< Mantisking>
Integrated weapons have to be removed to be repaired. Carried weapons can also be exchanged between squad mates.
05:58
< Mantisking>
:)
05:58
< afny>
oh, true
05:58
<@randolph>
Modular integrated weapons with bolt releases
05:59
<@randolph>
<_<
05:59
< afny>
but that might be more expensive to produce
05:59
< afny>
and it would have to be standardized
05:59
< afny>
if the interface is more or less a big human hand
05:59
<@randolph>
buy WangTech <_<
05:59
< afny>
the interface is EXTREMELY flexible
05:59
<@randolph>
Yeah. But that goes back to scale
05:59
< Mantisking>
So why can't you make pistols without taps?
05:59
<@randolph>
A frame-sized pistol is just a cannon on a smaller scale
05:59
< afny>
just hard to get a good shape
05:59
<@randolph>
There's no reason it has to look like a pistol
06:00
< afny>
taps are great because if you put them vertically
06:00
< afny>
you can get a handle in a very short space horizontally
06:00
< Mantisking>
I think there have been several pistol designs posted on the Hangar that don't use taps.
06:00
< afny>
all the other methods I know to get a handle are pretty long in the horizontal
06:00
< afny>
I haven't seen any ones that stood out to me, but admittedly I haven't looked close at every weapon in the modules section
06:01
<@randolph>
afny: The ones I made use lantern + claw
06:01
<@randolph>
no tap
06:01
< afny>
gotta link?

<@randolph>

06:02

I mean, that is definitely the problem with pistols if you're trying to make your giant robot guns look like real world human guns

But I guess that's me and Appleseed.

yeah, I like both

my favorite gun in that batch is the one with the large white magazine and the dark grey ski on top
09:39
< afny>
stole that attachment from Soren and I plan on outfitting my Ijad/mercs all with guns like that
09:39
< afny>
need to dig out some skis first
09:40

Mhmm.
09:40

My guns are large.
09:41

AND: I got weapons for all.
09:41

09:41
<@Ceddobear>
Hell, I have 40
09:41
< afny>
five of those guns are spares :\
09:41
<@Ceddobear>
* 'frames.
09:42
<@Ceddobear>
Out of those, 8 (ijad) +3 (13th arty) +1 (Kraehe) +2 (SLC Scrambler + HiLeg) don't use guns.
09:42
<@Ceddobear>
That is 14.
09:42

<@Ceddobear>
I found some dark blue stickers.
09:43
<@Ceddobear>
And TWO had forward arrows and CAUTION written on them.
09:44
<@Ceddobear>
And after cutting them a bit, they fit on a 1x2 tile.
09:44
<@Ceddobear>
Which is the top cover of my SSR launchers.
09:44
<@Ceddobear>
And it's the 13th Guard right? Another sticker read SKY GUARDIAN, meant for a 1x4 tile.
09:45
<@Ceddobear>
I cut out the GUARDIAN and put it on another 1x2.
09:45
<@Ceddobear>
So Vale's Launcher reads GUARDIAN.
09:45
<@Ceddobear>
And Seeberg's and Ambercroft's read "CAUTION >"
09:45
< afny>
heh
09:50
< afny>
Are those stickers from some dinosaur set?
09:50
< afny>
you need to figure out a use for those dino heads
09:51
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, so far, I used Indiana Jones, some blue/silver mod/scratches stuff and some 2007 exoforce.
09:51
< afny>
it might be the exoforce
09:51
< afny>
but I know when I clicked the two sets that you linked from BL
09:51

I saw dino heads
09:51

This one.
09:52
< afny>
yea
09:52
< afny>
those look like they fit on 1x2s if you cut them out
09:52
<@Ceddobear>
The bottom looks like a snake.
09:52
< afny>
or if you are REALLY good, you could JUST cut out the black dino print
09:52
<@Ceddobear>
So that'll go to the Serpents.
09:52
<@Ceddobear>
I do have plans for that stuff. ^^
09:53

the top one would be perfect for a gadian

In the way that methadone is not heroin, bullet hole stickers are not weathering.

Well, I even have a little fishing box full with ~300 points of Spacemarines.
09:56
<@Ceddobear>
Unpainted.
09:56
<@Ceddobear>
D:
09:56
<@randolph>
Well, it's affirming.
09:56
<@Ceddobear>
I AM AN ADDICT.
09:56
< afny>
Ohgod.
09:56
<@randolph>
He looks at it and goes "I didn't do it."
09:56 * afny can't handle the truth.
09:56
<@randolph>
"Today was good."
09:56
<@Ceddobear>
Sometimes, I look at them.
09:56
<@randolph>
And every day, he didn't weather.
09:57
<@Ceddobear>
Remember how good it felt.
09:57
<@Ceddobear>
How I sat there, CUTTING UP MY FINGERS, INHALING TOXIC FUMES.
09:57
<@Ceddobear>
But it was so ... pretty.
09:57
<@Ceddobear>
Gave me peace.
09:57 * Ceddobear sighs.
09:57
< afny>
Shit man, I do that every week. It's called Wednesday.
09:57
<@randolph>
I mean, nevermind that one day we're going to come in here and see 300 links to angle shots of dremeled microfractures on dishes.
09:57
<@randolph>
right now, he's in a good space.
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
Why use English? Speak entirely in German, then add hilarious subtitles :D
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
I FULLY ENDORSE THIS MOST EXCELLENT IDEA.
09:58
< afny>
To be honest, I think Ced has himself firmly under control.
09:58
< afny>
It's Mitten that I'm worried about.
09:58
<@randolph>
I'm just teasing
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
Dremeled ... microfractures ...
09:58 * Ceddobear shivers.
09:58
<@randolph>
hee
09:58
< afny>
He's already got dye...he's ALREADY experimenting on dishes.
09:58
<@randolph>
BE STRONG CED
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
I have a dremel.
09:58
<@randolph>
DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
BUT.
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
THE POSSIBILITIES.
09:58
<@randolph>
THE LIGHT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
Okay.
09:58
<@Ceddobear>
Fuck the light.
09:58
< afny>
To be honest, every time I see a painted minifig on one of my flikr groups
09:59
< afny>
it just looks so fucking bad
09:59
<@Ceddobear>
Hahaha, yeah.
09:59
< afny>
and I love weathered Gundam models
09:59
< afny>
but that shit just does NOT look good on lego.
09:59
<@Ceddobear>
Because people can't paint their way out of an expressionistic art exhibition.
09:59
< afny>
It's like...it's like painting something in a really impressionistic style
09:59
<@randolph>
afny: what about the stormtroopers by the campfire?
09:59
< afny>
and thenbeing like THIS PART IS IN CUBISM
09:59
<@Ceddobear>
lol
09:59
< afny>
also we said the same thing but backwards
09:59
<@Ceddobear>
SUDDEN CHANGE OF STYLE. FUCK YOU. MINIMALISM.
09:59
<@randolph>
er, the memorial
10:00
< afny>
I dunno, that one is okay...
10:00
<@randolph>
weathering, QED
10:00
< afny>
I don't really like stuff that's minifig focussed
10:00
< afny>
the photography is good in that at least
10:00
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, are we talking about the guy with the wicked photoshop skills?
10:00
<@Ceddobear>
Starw<ars stuff?
10:00
<@Ceddobear>
-<
10:00
< afny>
yeah probably
10:00
<@Ceddobear>
Fucking cut-up fat fingers.
10:00
< afny>
I've only seen the pics in that thread
10:01
<@Ceddobear>
Well, he IS a professional photographer and knows his Adobe.
10:01
<@Ceddobear>
A lot of it is filters and layer work. :(
10:01
<@Ceddobear>
Also, a spankingly good mirror-reflex camera.
10:01
<@Ceddobear>
Err, SLR. Single Lens Reflex.
10:02
<@Ceddobear>
randolph: I am not sure I can convince Danni to have a game filmed, but I will ask him. ;)
10:02
< afny>
Oh god
10:02
< afny>
if you do it
10:02
< afny>
do a running voiceover
10:02
<@randolph>
heh, no worries, I'm not the one who DESPERATELY needs video to learn MFZ :p
10:02
<@Ceddobear>
What's that?
10:02
< afny>
tell him that you don't need to do the audio
10:02
< afny>
just like film the game
10:03
< afny>
and then edit it to just to a droning commentary
10:03
<@Ceddobear>
LOL
10:03
<@randolph>
For me, it'd just be funny for German with hilarious subtitles
10:03
< afny>
but in a really dramatic war documentary way
10:03
<@randolph>
Oh hell yes
10:03
<@randolph>
History Channel style
10:03
< afny>
I'm thinking like Ken Burns style
10:03
<@Ceddobear>
"7am. In the trenches, the cold and wet soldiers eat their last rations."
10:03
<@randolph>
Hell, it'd be pretty funny to just put some WWII history channel stuff in the audio
10:04
<@Ceddobear>
"Then, the enemy advances. Ill-prepared and forgotten by their HQ, these troops have little to no chance of survival - or so it seems..."
10:05
< afny>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upaGSZnrJQI
10:05
<@Ceddobear>
"But then, one Private Peter Peterson, malnourished and stricken with typhus, rises to the challenge."
10:05
< afny>
do a play by play, and keep cutting to you or your roommates pretending to be veterans
10:05
< afny>
like 40 years after the battle
10:05
<@randolph>
urgh
10:05
<@randolph>
I dunno
10:05 Whitewolf [a@Nightstar-a2be5ed2.superkabel.de] has quit [Client exited]
10:05
<@randolph>
I think they should focus on the game
10:05
< afny>
this is much funnier.
10:05
<@randolph>
depends on whether they can pull that off without cracking up
10:06
<@randolph>
At least with just game footage, you can fix everything in post
10:06
< afny>
This would all be DONE in post
10:06
< afny>
you play/film the game normally
10:06
< afny>
then you edit all this stuff in
10:06
<@randolph>
Some things cannot be filmed in a hundred takes~
10:06
< afny>
Well this must be Spielberg quality
10:06
<@Ceddobear>
MUST BE.
10:07
< afny>
so if they can't pull it off, we'll have to old auditions for the parts of Ced and his roommates.
10:07
<@Ceddobear>
You get continous footage.
10:07
<@Ceddobear>
Sped up, maybe.
10:07
< afny>
+h
10:07
<@Ceddobear>
Or NOT.
10:07
<@Ceddobear>
2 hours of German MFZ.
10:07
< afny>
Actually, that would be really cool
10:07
< afny>
And possible, unlike a war documentary
10:07
< afny>
just constantly film, speed up x4 or something
10:07
<@Ceddobear>
"NEIN ZIS FRAME DOSS NOT GO ZERE!"
10:07
< afny>
post with no sound
10:07
< afny>
and just a chill track
10:07
< afny>
see everything move and fall apart
10:08
< afny>
bricks everywhere
10:08
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4puPG8nu-Y <-- This.
10:08
< afny>
yes
10:08
<@randolph>
Hee. That sounds like a Woody Allen film
10:08
<@randolph>
"Sorry, Woody, you're just not... I dunno, you just don't do *you* enough, you know?"
10:09
< afny>
Funny, because I thought my FIRST idea sounded like a Woody Allen film
10:09
<@Ceddobear>
I thought it sounded like a gloom Monty Python.
10:09
< afny>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64mI2h419H4
10:09
<@randolph>
Which first idea?
10:10
< afny>
This was actually like the worst video to link but my computer keeps freezing
10:10
< afny>
so I gave up
10:11
< afny>
This would be my slow motion MFZ game song
10:11
< afny>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoXp5LU1m9Q
10:11
< afny>
my whole setting is based off this sound, basically
10:13
<@Ceddobear>
WTF.
10:13
<@Ceddobear>
This is.
10:13
< afny>
More like the sound of this album, not just this song
10:14
<@Ceddobear>
That was lovely.
10:14
< afny>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHBWlJg4uGY&feature=related
10:14
<@Ceddobear>
I mean, I don't really watch Woody Allen.
10:14
<@Ceddobear>
He is usually lost on me.
10:14
<@Ceddobear>
And he has no foothold over here, culture-wise.
10:14
< afny>
Heh, that's my favorite Woody Allen movie
10:14
<@Ceddobear>
But usually, humor doesn't translate too well.
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
LOL
10:15
<@randolph>
Hm.
10:15
< afny>
To be honest Woody Allen has no foothold over here either
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
Facebook.
10:15
<@randolph>
I'm surprised
10:15
< afny>
I rarely hear people talk about him
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
Arthur Janny - Wooooo -- at Tabu Vegas.
10:15
<@randolph>
most of his stuff has a strong schadenfreude component
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
Arthur Janny - Wooooo -- at Hooters Casino.
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
Arthur Janny - Wooooo -- at Las Vegas Strip.
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
Arthur Janny - Wooooo -- at MGM Las Vegas.
10:15
<@Ceddobear>
I think Arthur is in Vegas.
10:16
< afny>
I think he's WASTED.
10:17
<@Ceddobear>
Oh.
10:17
<@Ceddobear>
This is so classic.

You've got classy friends

10:19
< afny>
This is so weird
10:20
< afny>
Someone added me as a contact on Flikr
10:20
< afny>
and his entire history of uploads is just like
10:20
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm?
10:20
< afny>
pictures of Vash the Stampede, pictures of Lal'C from Diebuster, and pictures of both of those characters side by side

<@Ceddobear>
O_o

< afny>
either with confusing captions, or the default name of the screencap.
10:20

SLASH FIC ALERT.
10:20
< afny>
like that the fuck.
10:21
<@Ceddobear>
Get out while you haven't read any hot Vash on Lal'c action yet.
10:21
< afny>
I got out long, long before that was a possibility
10:21 * Ceddobear salutes.
10:21
<@Ceddobear>
A true veteran of the internet you are.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
I built a BBQ.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
For Admiral Ackbar.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
And a combat surveillance chair.
10:22
< afny>
Let's just think about this for a moment.
10:22
< afny>
During your battles.
10:22
< afny>
Heated battles. These people are risking their lives.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
With swivel mount computer pad and binoc holder.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
Yes.
10:22
<@Ceddobear>
All of them. As in, all of their lives.
10:22
< afny>
There is...a GIANT SQUID MAN, well over twelve feet in height...
10:23
< afny>
...sitting in a giant chair cooking burgers.
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, following so far.
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
This is true.
10:23
< afny>
So really, all of your pilots have gone mad.
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
He also has a megaphone.
10:23
< afny>
They share this horrible group delusion.
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
And announces scores.
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
And CONSTANTLY YELLS DURING DEPLOYMENT:
10:23
<@Ceddobear>
"It's a trap! It's a trap!"
10:24
< afny>
Terror.
10:24
< afny>
Oh god, so I went back in.
10:24
<@randolph>
Wait, are minifigs really that tall?
10:24
< afny>
There are ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT ITEMS
10:24
<@Ceddobear>
And then, he flips a burger, puts it on a bun and eats it.
10:24
< afny>
ummm...lemme see
10:24
<@Ceddobear>
Randy: A minifig's about 15p, yeah.
10:24
< afny>
nah
10:25
< afny>
ackbar would be like 10.5 feet tall
10:25
< afny>
maybe 11 or 12
10:25
< afny>
but not over
10:25
<@randolph>
wow
10:25
<@Ceddobear>
That is still terrifying, eh?
10:25
<@randolph>
Well, yeah
10:25
< afny>
Definitely unnerving.
10:25
<@Ceddobear>
He flips burgers.
10:25
< afny>
And not to mention he's a SQUID MAN COOKING GODDAMN BURGERS.
10:25
< afny>
Yes.
10:25
<@randolph>
I mean, he's already an anthropomorphic squid
10:25
<@Ceddobear>
While missiles and plasma bolts cross.
10:26
<@Ceddobear>
But he has a sweet little 2x3 BBQ.
10:26
<@randolph>
12 ft is like "Hey, any relation to ... you know... Cthulhu?"
10:26
<@Ceddobear>
With a claw holder and a plate side-table.
10:26
<@randolph>
I think he should be brandishing one of those sausages
10:26
<@Ceddobear>
LOL
10:26
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, I use dark red 1x1 plates.
10:27
<@Ceddobear>
And brown ones later.
10:27
<@randolph>
"This was the LAST pilot to question my ruling."
10:27

Probably black ones, too.
10:27

Woo, sausagewield

you're making me hungry
10:27
<@Ceddobear>
The random McM moment of the day!
10:27

Yeah, today was not great and I don't feel like sharing

10:27

isn't it, like, 5 am, afny?
10:28

yes

5 am

For at least a little bit; I am in dire need of food and I want to digest a little before lying down.

shit's hard
11:40
<@Ceddobear>
WHAT AM I GONNA DO TODAY.
11:40
<@Ceddobear>
MY LIFE IS EMPTY.
11:40
<+afny>
I don't have any frames to build, but I still want to build
11:40
<@Ceddobear>
Exactly. D:
11:40
<+afny>
need to get my ijad/mercs squared away with a real dicebuild and 8 frames
11:40
<+afny>
have too many
11:40
<+afny>
need to get every frame's guns looking at least as good as my latest company, if not better
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
Well, what I do, after a company is done, I check the dicebuild.
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
Tweak it.
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
And go back to the company.
11:41
<+afny>
if I finish that stuff
11:41
<+afny>
I'll BUILD THE AURELIA
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
A spaceship?
11:41
<+afny>
but that'll involve pulling a lot of parts
11:41
<+afny>
ya
11:41 * Ceddobear sighs.
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
I have shit parts for that.
11:41
<@Ceddobear>
But I really want to build some.
11:42
<+afny>
I only have one still together, and I think I'm going to try to keep it that way
11:42
<+afny>
but not sure
11:42
<+afny>
I'm going to build at a smaller scale, though
11:42
<@Ceddobear>
You know what, fuck it.
11:42
<@Ceddobear>
I will try.
11:42
<+afny>
if you build at a really small scale

that's the scale I want to build at

my ship was about that size, but the wrong scale
11:43

...or the other way around, I'm not sure.
11:43

so it needs to be able to carry three or four frame-sized drop pods and still have room for orbital barrage equipment to cover the drops
11:51
<+afny>
hm, I might give the Tautogs some of those big feet with the clip plates
11:52
<+afny>
if I can find enough technic bushings and plate clips to do the super chub legs
11:52
<+afny>
Imma do that
11:52
<@Ceddobear>
Wow.
11:52
<@Ceddobear>
This is working oddly well.
11:53
<+afny>
makin spaceships.
11:53
<+afny>
aww yis.
11:53
<@Ceddobear>
I'll show in a sec.
11:58
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, one done.
11:58
<@Ceddobear>
I need a second one.
11:58
<@Ceddobear>
*rubs chin*
12:06
<+afny>
hm
12:06
<+afny>
there's a component of these feet that I'm missing
12:06
<+afny>
and it's probably something I don't have
12:08
<@Ceddobear>
This is gonna look so goofy.
12:10
<+afny>
okay
12:10
<+afny>
giving these guys dinosaur feet
12:10
<+afny>
was not a good idea
12:11
<+afny>
with their already tiny bird heads
12:11
<@Ceddobear>
Haha. :D
12:12
<+afny>
No one else has to know.
12:14
<@Ceddobear>
I do, though.
12:15
<+afny>
I might have to take you out.
12:15
<+afny>
You know TOO MUCH.
12:15
<@Ceddobear>
Bring t.
12:15
<@Ceddobear>
*it
12:15
<@Ceddobear>
But bring tea, actually.
12:15
<+afny>
Hmm, I need to make tea
12:15
<+afny>
I need to make BREAKFAST

< Dukayn>
Not much
12:20
< Dukayn>
Just doing small-resolution renders of LDraws for XGundam's Android app
12:20
<@Ceddobear>
Well, I am building space ships.
12:20
<@Ceddobear>
Because I am out of 'frames to build.
12:21
< Dukayn>
Haha
12:21
<@Ceddobear>
I have no idea what I am doing, too.
12:21
<@Ceddobear>
Just slapping bricks together.
12:21
< Dukayn>
Sometimes that's the best thing to do
12:22
<+afny>
that's my method
12:22
<@Ceddobear>
I think I built a cruiser.
12:22
<@Ceddobear>
But who knows.
12:22
< Dukayn>
Hehe
12:23
< Dukayn>
I plan on only building one ship, being the carrier which my pirates get around in. Well, maybe some small fighter escorts or something but nothing else large.
12:23
<+afny>
same, for my UMFL company
12:24
<+afny>
and I might try to rebuild "La Nuit" at a smaller scale
12:24
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, time for pictures.
12:24
< Dukayn>
Have we seen La Nuit?

<+afny>
the last one
12:26
< Dukayn>
ah yeah I've seen those, they're nice
12:26
<+afny>
they're all taken apart now
12:26
<+afny>
:C
12:27
< Dukayn>
Nawww
12:27
<+afny>
well La Nuit isn't
12:27
<+afny>
but the others are
12:27
<+afny>
needed dem bits
12:28

Okay, taking pics now.
12:31

*did ya see
12:35
<@Ceddobear>
*scratches head*
12:36
< Dukayn>
Yes, I did
12:37
< Dukayn>
I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the skate helmet for a 'frame head, but each to their own. Overall the frame is nice.
12:37
<@Ceddobear>
Heh.
12:37
<@Ceddobear>
I cleaned up a little last night.
12:37
<@Ceddobear>
Went to bed 3am.
12:37
<@Ceddobear>
And got right back up.
12:37
<@Ceddobear>
Couldn't sleep, still HAD WORK TO DO.
12:38
< Dukayn>
lol
12:38
<@Ceddobear>
Switched the three lime helmets for Chub heads, fixed the sensor domes and such.
12:38
<@Ceddobear>
Before that, I spent hours applying stickers.
12:38
<@Ceddobear>
Meanwhile, Danni, Jan and Danni's gf Fanny (pronounced "funny") sorted 9 trays worth of Lego on my bed.

12:41
<+afny>
I like the second one
12:41
< Dukayn>
Still loading here
12:41
<+afny>
they both look good, but I just like asymmetrical designs
12:42
< Dukayn>
I think I prefer the one on the left. I like assymetrical too, but that one seems a bit messy.
12:42
<+afny>
that's why I like it, I guess
12:42
<+afny>
and it's got a good profile
12:45
<@Ceddobear>
I am so out of parts. :D
12:45
<@Ceddobear>
All the halfway decent parts went into the first ship.
12:45
<@Ceddobear>
Maybe I whip some stuff up in LDD and see if I like one.
12:45
<@Ceddobear>
And then, order it. :D
12:45
<+afny>
I like stuff that looks like it was built in space and never intends to enter an atmosphere
12:46
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
12:46
<@Ceddobear>
Completely "impractical" designs for atmospheric flight.
12:46
<+afny>
yeah
12:46
<@Ceddobear>
But that doesn't really work for me.
12:46
<@Ceddobear>
I mean, it does and it doesn't.
12:46
<+afny>
especially for this setting, it's like
12:46
<+afny>
well, big ships aren't really going to land ANYWAY
12:46
<@Ceddobear>
Heh. No.
12:47
<@Ceddobear>
I'll look up Soren's cruiser again and build me some desxy boats.
12:47
<@Ceddobear>
... sexy
12:47
<@Ceddobear>
That was meant to be "sexy".
12:47
<@Ceddobear>
Not desxy.

12:50
<+afny>
I couldn't see the prints on them when I first looked, my monitor settings were really dark
12:50
<+afny>
I saw them again this morning and was surprised
12:50
<+afny>
they look good
12:51

Yeah, they work funnily enough.

Oooh.
12:56
<@Ceddobear>
I know it has been done before, on a larger scale, bu I just got an idea.
12:56
<@Ceddobear>
Homeworld-style modules.
12:56
<@Ceddobear>
OFF TO LDD.
12:57
<+afny>
Imma go shower and get breafkast
12:57 afny is now known as afny|away

YES we need more Homeworld style ships :P
12:58
< Dukayn>
I'm also thinking of looking at EVE Online and Babylon 5 for inspiration when I get to it.
12:59
<@Ceddobear>
Heh.
12:59

I always think of BroTeam when I read the word "need".

13:40
<@Ceddobear>
Two missile batteries, one dual mass accellerator cannon.
13:40
<+afny>
I like the shape, but the box on the bow really kills it
13:40
<@Ceddobear>
YOU NO RIKEY MY TURRET.
13:40
<+afny>
I think you should either get rid of that part or make it way more spindly
13:40
<+afny>
lik the sensor array
13:40
<+afny>
or like, uh, rounded and with little bits
13:40
<+afny>
it's just too boxy and I don't like the use of the grilles
13:40
<@Ceddobear>
Lemme try.
13:41
<+afny>
I'm currently lining up all my frames and their weapons
13:41
<+afny>
and I'm going to REVIEW them
13:41
< Dukayn>
Hmm.
13:41
<+afny>
not all will survive!
13:42
< Dukayn>
So, making a ship in scale to transport frames makes 'em... kinda big.
13:42
<+afny>
a ship that size, to scale
13:43
<+afny>
a frame would barely even be visible
13:43
<+afny>
unless you're talking some sort of troop transport helicopter
13:43
< Dukayn>
Yeah I was trying to do it in LDD, like a carrier sort of deal
13:43
< Dukayn>
Had the front quarter kinda figured out and imported a frame to compare... yeah, it's about 3 times too small :P
13:45
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/cruiser_3.png
13:45
< Dukayn>
Not bad dude
13:46
<+afny>
it still looks a little gigantic
13:46
<+afny>
the smaller you make the turret, the bigger the ship will seem
13:47
<+afny>
I really like the rest of the design, but the turret just makes it seem like a gunboat
13:47
<+afny>
instead of a huge ass cruiser
13:48
<@Ceddobear>
Kk.
13:48 * Ceddobear goes back to the drawing board.
13:50
< Dukayn>
Minifig hand? :P
13:51
<+afny>
yeah, that's more the size I was thinking
13:51
<+afny>
minifig hand, binocs, antennae
13:51
<+afny>
half pins if you wanna get crazy
13:51
< Dukayn>
or like a 1x2 with a couple of those small antennae
13:52
<+afny>
Dukayn: even beyond the logistics of building a frame transport to scale, the kind of ship (in the setting) that would be ferrying frames isn't something that would be small enough to feasibly enter an atmosphere. It would drop the frames/pilots via shuttles, pods, or ballutes, and if the frames were valuable enough to retrieve rather than just rebuild from a pattern, they'd be sent up in shuttles.
13:53
<+afny>
(at least as far as we know, that's more or less what I've been able to glean from Soren about the state of space travel and frame deployment from orbit in the setting)
13:54
< Dukayn>
Yeah I wasn't planning on making one that would enter atmosphere
13:55
<+afny>
it would be cool to make a 7p scale shuttle though
13:55
<+afny>
but then it would be used as terrain
13:55
< Dukayn>
For like a single frame or something
13:55
<+afny>
and that would just be bad
13:55
<+afny>
yeah
13:55
< Dukayn>
Yeah
13:56
< Dukayn>
Yeah I can just imagine doing that, and having it shot to shit to remove it as cover :P
13:56
< Dukayn>
"DUDE YOU SHOT MY RIDE!"
13:56
<+afny>
I think the secret is
13:56
<+afny>
put a cockpit or a ramp or something right on the edge of it somewhere, like the front or the back
13:57
<+afny>
then get your battlefield all set up
13:57
<+afny>
and put it RIGHT at the edge of the battlefield as a station
13:57
<+afny>
so most of it is out of bounds
13:57
<+afny>
(can you put stations at the edge of the map?)
13:57
< Dukayn>
You could
13:57
< Dukayn>
But it's suboptimal
13:57
<+afny>
damn
13:57
< Dukayn>
as your deployment deadzone is minimised.
13:58
<+afny>
Well I'm not gonna build that shit anyway SO
13:58
< Dukayn>
Hehe
13:59
< Dukayn>
Got 15 frame icons for this Android app. Starting to run out of LDraw files :P

14:03
<+afny>
Yeah, I know it's for the app, I mean
14:03
<+afny>
are you trying to make one for EVERY type of frame out there, or just like
14:04
<+afny>
vague categories
14:04
<+afny>
What do the icons actually represent in the app

fuck you subconscious

<@Ceddobear>
More greebles?
14:13

afny: Sorry mate, busy in MLCad, didn't see your questions. To be honest I don't exactly know. I'm just making icons for each frame, so I assume it's for each actual frame.
14:13

Why does my daughter keep waking me up at ass o'clock in the morning
14:18
<+afny>
Maybe it's because you have a clock that has "ass" written on the face instead of times
14:19
<+afny>
that's not a very good clock
14:19
<~NoahEnderOfAnts>
All clocks have it, you just don't realize it
14:21
< Dukayn>
It's written in child-only ink
14:22
<~NoahEnderOfAnts>
No, she can't write yet, there's an actual time, between 8 and 9 AM, where being awake makes me want to burn my face off with hot oil, that's ass o'clock

15:12
<+afny>
is it postapocalyptic outside?
15:12
<@Ceddobear>
Nah.
15:12
<@Ceddobear>
Which is why.
15:12

I see
15:13
<@Ceddobear>
Alright.
15:13
<@Ceddobear>
Time for beuaty shots.
15:13
<@Ceddobear>
I hope they turned out okay without flash.
15:13
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, also: stickers. :D
15:14
<+afny>
flash usually fucks things up
15:15
<~NoahEnderOfAnts>
Yea, thus why we use light boxes
15:15
< Dukayn>
indeed
15:16
< Dukayn>
I need a new bulb for my lamp
15:16
< Dukayn>
it looks alright on the camera, but when you put it on the PC it's a very yellow light.

How do you like the stickers?

I usually don't like chub heads with things in them but those tan rounds are so good

You don't really need 22? ^^

15:35
<@Ceddobear>
Gotcha.
15:35
<+afny>
but it isn't as simple as just moving two frames
15:36
<+afny>
and really I don't feel the need to add two frames to the Triad
15:36

it's more of a skirmish company anyway

well since you reference the ships in the fluff, you could post little thumbnails of them at least

Alright, Serpents next.
16:28
<+afny>
I've always sort of imagined the normal chub head has four different lenses where each of the studs connect
16:28
<+afny>
and it can rotate to align them
16:28
<+afny>
so instead of the scopedog faceplate with three rotating lenses, the whole head rotates for a total of four lenses
16:28
<@Ceddobear>
I prefer it my way.
16:29
<+afny>
the way that has MODULAR LENSES
16:29
<+afny>
HAND MOUNTED MODULAR LENSES
16:29
<@Ceddobear>
Boring.
16:29
<+afny>
but you don't like swords in space.
16:29
<@Ceddobear>
Yes.
16:29

So wheels? Not sold on the gravlifts?
18:36
<@Ceddobear>
Not at all.
18:36

I guess it would be less efficient
18:36
<@Ceddobear>
Well, it's not a hovercraft, it's a repulsor, right?
18:36
<@randolph>
Yeah
18:36
<@Ceddobear>
And those require an assload of energy.
18:36
<@randolph>
yeah
18:37
<@Ceddobear>
That energy, on the next page, is wasted for transport.
18:37
<@Ceddobear>
Wheels are terribly efficient.
18:37
<@randolph>
But it looks cool >_<
18:37

Ooh, it should be treaded

Well, magnets?
18:37

Treads are poopy, too. :/
18:37

Magnets? You'd need counter-polarized tracks.
18:38

Guess why the Transrapid isn't being built for real world application.
18:38
<@randolph>
right, I'm thinking of these in a warehouse
18:38
<@randolph>
or at a dockyard
18:38
<@Ceddobear>
The problem is variant loads.
18:38
<@randolph>
Hm yeah
18:38
<@Ceddobear>
You'd need electro magnets with adaptive power settings.
18:38
<@randolph>
stupid real-world constraints
18:38
<@Ceddobear>
And those require energy, again.
18:39
<@Ceddobear>
Treads are less efficient, too - you are still pushing forward by a lot more than wheels.
18:39
<@Ceddobear>
Treads are great for shitty terrain.
18:39
<@randolph>
ball bearing sheet?
18:39
<@Ceddobear>
But, when you can control the circumstances, wheels rock.
18:39

Those wear out with heavy loads - and need constant oil.
18:39
<@randolph>
aha! in-fiction reason for slime trail!
18:39
<@randolph>
<_<
18:40

<@Ceddobear>
Getting there!
19:33
<@Ceddobear>
Now give that thing an engine.
19:34
<@Ceddobear>
The cockpit is too round. This isn't Duplo.
19:34
<@randolph>
... engine?
19:34 * Ceddobear 's gonna teach you how to be gritty!
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
A source of power.
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
To move the engine.
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
Err, wheels.
19:35
<@randolph>
I was hoping all that stuff was in the back hatch
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
Also, how is the container getting on there? Magic?
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
How is it getting off?
19:35
<@randolph>
Labor frame :x
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
So, in other words, magic.
19:35
<@randolph>
Or forklift
19:36
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, I dunno, man.
19:36
<@randolph>
When you say "too round" do you mean the trans-black piece, or the entire silhouette of the head/neck?
19:36
<@Ceddobear>
Well, the transblack for starters. :D
19:36
<@Ceddobear>
'Nother thing.
19:37
<@randolph>
Ok, this might have to wait; my daughter is having a congo line with the S-Cargo, Wall-E, and a bunny
19:37
<@Ceddobear>
If you turn the bricks around on the flanks, they line up with the lines of the back and front stones.
19:37
<@Ceddobear>
No sweat! :)
19:37
<@randolph>
Wait, which bricks?
19:37
<@randolph>

afk for a bit, bot will be down temporarily
19:53
<@Ceddobear>
Currently, you have the horizontal inward stripes meet the vertical side stripes.
19:53
<@Ceddobear>
You could align those.
19:53
<@Ceddobear>
Heya MK.
19:58
<@randolph>
Yeah, the issue is, flopping it around makes the corrugation on the face wrong :(
19:58
<@randolph>
I really just need 1x1 bricks
20:01
< Mantisking>
Hey Ceddo.
20:02
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, you do, Randy.
20:02
<@Ceddobear>
Meanwhile, I tried my hand on those containers.
20:03
<@randolph>
yeah>?
20:03
<@randolph>
I really love those things

Interlocking containers.
20:05
<@Ceddobear>
Look at the bottom.
20:05
<@randolph>
Right, but that's not how they are IRL
20:06
<@randolph>
the gaps are for forks to get in
20:06
<@randolph>
still, I dig the door addition
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
OKAY. FINE.
20:06
<@randolph>
What are the part #s?
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
POPP ON MY PARADE.
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
I don't know, it's old ass stuff.
20:06
<@randolph>
I'M ONLY SHOOTING THE MIMES AT THE END
20:06
<@randolph>
THE PARADE IS FINE
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
Like, 1997, but still in production.
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
LDD doesn't give me any info. :D
20:07
<@randolph>
FINE. MAKE me look it up.
20:07 * randolph goes to lunch without inviting Ced.
20:08
<@Ceddobear>
Okay.
20:10
< Mantisking>
I did some measuring today. In 6 plate scale those containers are only 20' long.
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
36' would be more like it, eh?
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
Or 24'
20:13
<@Ceddobear>
I should ask my friend at Maersk. :D
20:14
< Mantisking>
They come in 40' and 20' lengths.
20:15
< Mantisking>
So it's a correct size.
20:15
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
20:15
<@Ceddobear>
But they are more like half-containers?
20:15
< Mantisking>
Yup.
20:15
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/containers2.png
20:15

Well, good to know.

4x16 would be a full 40' conatainer in 6 plate scale.
20:20
< Mantisking>
"container"
20:21 * Ceddobear trys that now.
20:25
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
20:25
<@Ceddobear>
You could actually have elevation and stuff with those things.
20:29
< Mantisking>
Stacks of containers in a shipping yard would make an awesome gaming table.
20:31

22:22
<@Ceddobear>
Dann hak alle drei K?stchen unter der Trennlinie an.
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
Und schieb den Regler "advanced shading" ganz nach rechts.
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
Starte LDD neu.
22:23
<@Ceddobear>
Und dann, benutz' besser Strg +K f?r Screenies. Die sind dann nur dein Dingsi auf transparentem Hintergrund. :)
22:23
<+Whitewolf>

22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Dann sieht die Welt gleich viel h?bscher aus. :D
22:24

Ansonsten, die Basis sieht ja knorke aus.
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Was f?r'n Loadout kriegt der?
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Irgendwie schmecke ich nemmich Raketenpods, arty 'frame.

22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Heh. :D
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Na, dann gibt's eh nur noch zwei Fragen.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Wieviele pods und welche Ausrichtung? ^^
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
Ich sage mal, wenn der gar keine Arme hat, dann w?re es vll. sogar cool, wenn er h?her-als-breite Werfer hat.
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
Gibt den Stein ja auch als 3er.
22:31
<+Whitewolf>
naja obs arme gibt oder noch mehr raketen, da bin ich noch unschlüssig
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
Den dann nach aussen h?her, und ein Travis brick zur Montage in der Mitte, mit 1x1 Platte und Headlight Brick fixiert.
22:32
<@Ceddobear>
