| 00:00 | < afny> | well it IS based on a Chub |
| 00:00 | < afny> | I mean, in fluff |
| 00:00 | < afny> | its pilot previously piloted a really badly salvaged (but gayly painted) ST-07 |
| 00:00 | < afny> | so it's supposed to look Chubby |
| 00:01 | < afny> | but that slope is attached via a jumper, the central column is actually very thin |
| 00:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Kev: 'dem arms are too slim. |
| 00:01 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/100_2677.JPG |
| 00:01 | < Tetrajak> | still looks chubby :P |
| 00:01 | < afny> | it's supposed to look chubby is what i'm sayin |
| 00:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | THe arms aren't. |
| 00:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | And he wears a skirt. |
| 00:02 | < afny> | I tried it with 5stud shoulders |
| 00:02 | < afny> | it looked really bad |
| 00:02 | < afny> | you don't like hinge plate arms anyway, Ced, do you? |
| 00:02 | < afny> | even on MgNs? |
| 00:03 | < afny> | if this had 5stud/tap arms, it'd just look exactly like the Peleus |
| 00:03 | <@randolph> | afny: was your objection to the terracotta soldiers pretty much the same as the reason you didn't pimp out the chub mafia more than you already did? |
| 00:03 | | Dukayn [Dukayn@Nightstar-04e2c059.netspace.net.au] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:03 | < afny> | I thought they were pretty ridiculous already |
| 00:03 | < afny> | but no, I didn't restrain myself |
| 00:03 | <@randolph> | i.e. "nobody would believably get this artsy with their frames?" |
| 00:04 | < afny> | I mean, I made them in line with how I viewed the setting |
| 00:04 | < afny> | A Chub modified to look like a guy in a tuxedo/tophat |
| 00:04 | <@randolph> | which, while silly, is believable on a crimelord |
| 00:04 | < afny> | and a guy with a giant sensor array disguised as a pot leaf |
| 00:04 | <@randolph> | I mean, Justin Bieber drives a chromed fisker karma |
| 00:05 | < afny> | I just tried to make sure that, while goofy, they still looked like functional giant robots |
| 00:05 | < afny> | that the flamboyance didn't get in the way of the function |
| 00:05 | < Dukayn> | Hey guys |
| 00:05 | <@randolph> | Okay, so ... what was it about the terracotta soldiers that don't look functional? |
| 00:05 | <@randolph> | hey Dukayn |
| 00:05 | < afny> | so like, I don't think designing chubs reminiscent of terracotta soldiers is a bad idea |
| 00:05 | < afny> | but I think you're taking it a little too literally |
| 00:06 | <@randolph> | Well, they're not chubs :P |
| 00:06 | <@randolph> | The torso's actually totally different, I just did a mockup to show how they could be modified to look the same |
| 00:06 | < afny> | ah, my mistake |
| 00:07 | <@randolph> | I did that because I'm trying to pinpoint *where* I failed |
| 00:07 | < afny> | still, I think they look a little too feudal |
| 00:07 | < afny> | they look like guymelefs |
| 00:07 | < afny> | instead of scopedogs with a vaguely terracotta soldier styling |
| 00:07 | <@randolph> | ah. |
| 00:07 | <@randolph> | hm.... |
| 00:07 | <@randolph> | Did you see the last link? |
| 00:07 | <@randolph> | the one with the heavy chubs chest and comissar-ish head? |
| 00:07 | < afny> | the one with all the trans red? |
| 00:08 | <@randolph> | Well, yes, but thsoe are all the black tiles I own. 50 are on the way. |
| 00:08 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7428453074/in/photostream |
| 00:08 | < afny> | not sure how it will look in all black |
| 00:08 | < afny> | and the weapon really throws it off |
| 00:08 | < afny> | make the weapon a super hi-tech glaive |
| 00:09 | <@randolph> | ah, hm. |
| 00:09 | < Dukayn> | I like that one |
| 00:10 | < afny> | it looks cool, but not like a weapon the personal guard of an unfathomably wealthy space tycoon would wield |
| 00:10 | < afny> | I mean, it's just a piece of metal on a stick. It even has a little chip. |
| 00:11 | <@randolph> | I see what you're saying - these look impractically showroom |
| 00:12 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
| 00:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | Randy: Want me to try my hands on the theme? |
| 00:12 | < Dukayn> | Like an all-orange Harrier :-P |
| 00:12 | <@randolph> | Sure, knock yourself out Ced |
| 00:12 | < Dukayn> | Oh hai Ced |
| 00:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh hai Dukey. |
| 00:12 | < Dukayn> | Holy shit dude |
| 00:13 | <@randolph> | Dukayn: It doesn't matter if you can see the orange, because everyone's using guidance systems |
| 00:13 | <@randolph> | :p |
| 00:13 | < afny> | NO GUIDED BULLETS |
| 00:13 | <@randolph> | I dunno about you, but my radar doesn't see in color~ |
| 00:13 | < afny> | (right CeD) |
| 00:14 | < Dukayn> | I meant about showroom frames. Or was it someone else suggesting that I make an all orange Harrier as a concept showroom piece? |
| 00:14 | <@randolph> | afny: I was going for more "X is batshit insane, so this is a reflection of the same batshit that Emperor Qin had going for him" |
| 00:14 | <@randolph> | Duk: that was me |
| 00:15 | < Dukayn> | Ah I thought so. |
| 00:15 | < afny> | I mean, I get it |
| 00:15 | <@randolph> | not: "X is just mildly narcissistic, so there's a paintjob" |
| 00:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | NO GUIDED BULLETS. |
| 00:15 | < afny> | I guess my problem is that it just doesn't fit the setting |
| 00:15 | <@randolph> | Why can't batshit gajillionaires exist in the setting? :p |
| 00:16 | <@randolph> | We have them IRL |
| 00:16 | < afny> | I mean, I don't think its a concept that CAN'T fit the setting |
| 00:16 | < afny> | again, it's the representation |
| 00:16 | < afny> | not the concept |
| 00:16 | <@randolph> | hm. |
| 00:16 | <@randolph> | Alright, maybe I'll understand the nuance I'm missing a bit better after Ced has a go |
| 00:16 | < Dukayn> | I think the problem comes when you assume the design is meant to br functional. What if the guy just likes to make crazy looking giant robots? :-) |
| 00:17 | < Dukayn> | -r +e |
| 00:17 | <@randolph> | I intellectually get what you're saying about "being too literal," afny, but I'm not grokking it |
| 00:17 | <@randolph> | Like, I look at that chest plate, and I'm pleased as punch for evoking scalemail at that scale |
| 00:17 | < afny> | Just from what I know about WT from Exit Strategy, it doesn't seem like they'd be repping anything substandard in combat |
| 00:17 | <@randolph> | (ref: flickr renders, not the clownsuit) |
| 00:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright, lemme log out of NWN2. |
| 00:17 | < afny> | That's maybe my problem with it |
| 00:18 | <@randolph> | Eh, take your time, Ced |
| 00:18 | < afny> | is it's TOO evocative of medieval gear |
| 00:18 | < Dukayn> | I would say lamellar rather than scale actually Randy. |
| 00:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then, I'll build a Superchub -> Terracotta Warrior from scratch. |
| 00:18 | <@randolph> | I have a bday party to attend |
| 00:18 | <@randolph> | I will def read backscroll though |
| 00:18 | <@randolph> | Thanks for the help guys |
| 00:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll PM you screenies. |
| 00:19 | <@randolph> | afny: re: discordance with Exit Strategy - yeah, there's the story in my head, but then when I get my hands on LEGO, I'm like, ten. |
| 00:19 | <@randolph> | Maybe 13. |
| 00:19 | < afny> | Heh, yeah |
| 00:19 | <@randolph> | ("ROBOTS! WITH LASER VOULGES! PEW PEW") |
| 00:20 | <@randolph> | anyway, back later, o7 |
| 00:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukayn: I take it you like the VIJ20 series? :D |
| 00:21 | < Dukayn> | Shit yes |
| 00:21 | < Dukayn> | Outstanding work |
| 00:21 | | * Ced23Ric bows. |
| 00:21 | < Dukayn> | Can't wait to see them bricked. |
| 00:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'mma get the parts next paycheck. :D |
| 00:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | (It's direct deposit, but for the sake of simplicity...) |
| 00:22 | < Dukayn> | Oh I bought some Lego yesterday. Couple more of those star wars in a ball sets |
| 00:23 | < afny> | the Sebulba one? |
| 00:23 | < afny> | that's perfect for you |
| 00:23 | < afny> | SO MUCH ORANGE |
| 00:23 | < Dukayn> | Bespin cloud car and x-wing |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | SO MUCH ORANGE. |
| 00:23 | < Dukayn> | Cloud car has EVEN MORE ORSNGE |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | ORSNGE! |
| 00:23 | < afny> | I haven't seen it |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's orange. |
| 00:23 | < Dukayn> | meh, tablet keyboard |
| 00:23 | < afny> | Well yes, I imagine |
| 00:23 | < afny> | I HAVE seen Empire |
| 00:23 | < Dukayn> | I think they're new |
| 00:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | And orange. |
| 00:24 | < Dukayn> | And you get a minifig Lobot :-) |
| 00:24 | < afny> | oh wow |
| 00:24 | < afny> | all these years and I JUST got it |
| 00:25 | < afny> | He's LOBOT because he had a LOBOTOMY. |
| 00:25 | < afny> | blowing my mind. |
| 00:25 | < Dukayn> | I... don't think he did. |
| 00:25 | < Dukayn> | I mean, he's pretty well functioning for someone lobotomised. |
| 00:26 | < afny> | Well, I didn't mean a lobotomy in the real world sense |
| 00:26 | < afny> | SHIT was DONE to his lobes |
| 00:26 | < Dukayn> | Ah, yeah fair enough. |
| 00:26 | < Dukayn> | George-ism science. |
| 00:26 | < afny> | I just never got the play on words |
| 00:26 | < Dukayn> | Like parsecs as a time measurement. |
| 00:26 | < afny> | until now |
| 00:27 | < afny> | actually, I always interpreted that as Han being really good at plotting a course |
| 00:27 | < afny> | or a brag about how he took a very dangerous route |
| 00:27 | < afny> | not a time measurement |
| 00:27 | < afny> | but that may be mental gymnastics on my part |
| 00:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's almost an Eric Prydz video. |
| 00:28 | < Dukayn> | Its how they have explained it since everyone pointed out it was wring |
| 00:28 | < Dukayn> | Wrong |
| 00:28 | < Dukayn> | "It's meant to mean he made the shortest route possible" |
| 00:29 | < Dukayn> | Even though it's a direct reference to the speed of his ship, not how good a navigator he is |
| 00:29 | < afny> | I can't remember the exact exchange |
| 00:29 | < Dukayn> | Obi-wan: "if it's a fast ship" |
| 00:30 | < Dukayn> | Han: "she's fast enough for you old man. She made the kessel run in les than 12 parsecs" |
| 00:30 | < Dukayn> | Or something like that |
| 00:32 | < afny> | damnit, Lucas |

| 00:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 00:39 | < Dukayn> | Wb ced |
| 00:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, had to reboot. |
| 00:41 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/100_2680.JPG |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Still wearing a skirt. |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | And arms to thin. |
| 00:42 | < afny> | those just aren't valid complaints. |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | ARMS TOO THIN. |
| 00:42 | < afny> | I'll add some rounds |
| 00:42 | < afny> | to the arms |
| 00:42 | < afny> | one round each |
| 00:45 | < Dukayn> | Hmm |
| 00:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | 2x2 rounds? |
| 00:46 | < afny> | ...no |
| 00:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | WEAK. |
| 00:50 | < Dukayn> | I'm not a fan of the clip plate hands without anything sandwiching them. |
| 00:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Me neither. |
| 00:50 | < afny> | you lose articulation if you sandwich them |
| 00:50 | < Dukayn> | Just looks really likely to fall off the minute you put something in them. |
| 00:51 | < afny> | well this frame doesn't use any handheld weapons |
| 00:51 | < afny> | but even my big giant motor operator carbines |
| 00:51 | < Dukayn> | Fair enough |
| 00:51 | < afny> | are held by mgns with just clip plate on hinge plate hands |
| 00:51 | < afny> | and they hold up fine |
| 00:51 | < afny> | it might LOOK like that, but it's actually sturdy |
| 00:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Looks WEAK.# |
| 00:51 | < Dukayn> | Yeah it's probably just that it looks flimsy |
| 00:53 | < afny> | I just don't mind |
| 00:53 | < afny> | I get not liking stuff that's only 1p thick |
| 00:54 | < afny> | it used to bother me, but I actually like that look now |
| 00:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | It just doesn't spell "GIANT FIGHTY ROBOTS" to me. |
| 00:54 | < afny> | to be fair, your robots are about twice as giant and three times as fighty as anyone elses |
| 00:55 | < Dukayn> | ^true |
| 00:55 | < afny> | ADMITTEDLY a Chub in a skirt is the other end of the spectrum |
| 00:55 | < afny> | but MgNs are damn fighty |
| 00:55 | < afny> | with only 1p thick arms |
| 00:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Whatchu mean. |
| 00:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | My robots aren't giant. |
| 00:56 | < afny> | you prefer taller/bulkier designs |
| 00:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | What. |
| 00:56 | < afny> | compared to the default frames |
| 00:56 | < afny> | all your stuff is a bit bulkier or a bit larger |
| 00:56 | < afny> | does this somehow come as a surprise to you |
| 00:56 | < afny> | ??? |
| 00:56 | < afny> | go look at a default scrambler |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | 9 bricks tall. |
| 00:57 | < afny> | then look at your scramblers |
| 00:57 | < afny> | I didn't say TALLER |
| 00:57 | < afny> | I said BIGGER |
| 00:57 | < afny> | go look at a default Chub |
| 00:57 | < afny> | then look at your Chubs |
| 00:57 | < afny> | I'm not saying this is a bad thing; just saying that you like your giant fighty robots GIANT and FIGHTY. |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | I sacrifice a minimal gain in size for a maximized gain in cool. |
| 00:57 | < Dukayn> | Then look at the Seraph Paladin LOL |
| 00:57 | | * Ced23Ric does things to the letter. |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | LOL |
| 00:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | He is ALL Giant. |
| 00:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Even his SHOULDERS want to fight you. |
| 00:59 | < afny> | he can fight you WHILE HIS BACK IS FACING YOU |
| 01:00 | < Dukayn> | Heh |
| 01:00 | < Dukayn> | Brb |
| 01:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | I at least have SOME sense of scale. :/ |
| 01:01 | < afny> | I'm just SAYIN' |
| 01:01 | < afny> | when you say arms are too thin |
| 01:01 | < afny> | I take it with a grain of salt |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | They are very thin. |
| 01:01 | < afny> | yea |
| 01:01 | < afny> | they are |
| 01:01 | < afny> | they're almost as thin as arms can be |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, as thin. |
| 01:01 | < afny> | I would be hard pressed to make THINNER arms |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, those cliparms. |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | I just think it don't do a Chub justice. |
| 01:02 | < afny> | but it isn't a Chub |
| 01:02 | < afny> | nor is it a super chub |
| 01:02 | < afny> | or a heavy chub |
| 01:02 | < afny> | or an assault chub |

| 01:07 | < afny> | yeah, definitely more girly than the original |

| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's kinda growing on me. |
| 01:08 | < afny> | it's in a really well grounded company though, I feel like I can get away with it |

| 01:55 | < afny> | but Australians are rugged enough to fight the bear parasite off using nothing but their face |
| 01:55 | < Dukayn> | In Tasmania, beards are a way to not have your face freeze off in winter |
| 01:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Are you bearded, Kev? |
| 01:56 | < afny> | HAHHAHAH |
| 01:56 | < afny> | (no) |
| 01:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | :( |
| 01:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | OF COURSE. |
| 01:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT. |
| 01:56 | < afny> | I am not anti-beard |
| 01:56 | < afny> | but I myself |
| 01:56 | < afny> | am not beard. |
| 01:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well. |
| 01:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | Are you smooth as a baby's butt? |
| 01:58 | < afny> | I wouldn't compare my face to any sort of butt |
| 01:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | BUT IS IT SMOOTH |
| 01:58 | < afny> | but that's more of a matter of principle |
| 01:59 | < Dukayn> | You've never been called assface? |
| 01:59 | < afny> | People around here don't get that creative with insults |
| 02:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | :/ |
| 02:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | KEV. |
| 02:01 | < afny> | wat |
| 02:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | COULD you grow a beard? |
| 02:01 | < afny> | uhh |
| 02:01 | < afny> | not an impressive beard |
| 02:01 | < afny> | I HIGHLY doubt |
| 02:01 | < afny> | that I could grow an impressive beard. |
| 02:01 | < afny> | I've never tried |
| 02:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/375233_10150576311218475_16 70899918_n.jpg <-- My impressive Beard face. |
| 02:02 | < afny> | quite the beard face it is. |
| 02:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Thank you. I cultivate it. |
| 02:02 | < afny> | Did you say to someone, "Quick, take a high definition picture of my beard face!" |
| 02:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Friend of mine is a photographer. |
| 02:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | He felt like taking a shot of me while I was smoking. |
| 02:03 | < afny> | An iconic subject. |
| 02:03 | < afny> | Smokers, I mean. |
| 02:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | A whole fetish exists around that. |
| 02:04 | < afny> | Yeah. There's plenty of good stuff, but there's also every hipster with an SLR ever |
| 02:04 | < afny> | trying to take pictures of you when you go for a cigarette. |
| 02:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hah. True. |
| 02:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, Patrick's a paintball photographer. |
| 02:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | He takes pictures he likes. |

| 02:05 | < afny> | ...huh |
| 02:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I got nothing. |
| 02:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Man, fuck you, Kev. |
| 02:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'm never gonna play a game against you. |
| 02:08 | < afny> | because I am not beard? |
| 02:08 | < afny> | oh. |
| 02:08 | < afny> | LIES |
| 02:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'd see the Cybele. |
| 02:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | And be all like: "D'AWWWW." |
| 02:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | And forfeit. |
| 02:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | SO FUCK YOU. |
| 02:09 | < afny> | That IS one way to win. |
| 02:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | You handsome devil. |
| 02:09 | < afny> | that company has 9 frames, though. The Cybele could just sit the match out. Chill with Ackbar. |
| 02:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, he'd be all awkward and shy and ask her whether she likes fish sticks. |
| 02:10 | < afny> | She would question the origin of said fish sticks. |
| 02:10 | < afny> | There would be scrutiny. |
| 02:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | HE HAS HER STICK RIGHT THERE. |
| 02:10 | < afny> | Oh god. |
| 02:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | NOW OPEN WIDE AND SWALLOW. |
| 02:10 | < Dukayn> | I like the parasol |

| 02:14 | < Dukayn> | Mein Gott... |
| 02:14 | < Mantisking> | Actually, I'm not impressed. |
| 02:14 | < Dukayn> | Says Mr. Let's Just Post Old Mechaton Designs :P |
| 02:15 | < afny> | I'm not sure if he was too stoned, or not stoned enough |
| 02:15 | < Mantisking> | You sound a little jealous there Duk. |

| 02:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH WAIT. |

| 02:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | DERP. |
| 02:16 | < Dukayn> | Actually I kind of thought it was an overly smug move. |
| 02:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Anyway. |
| 02:16 | < Dukayn> | I almost expected the meme "bitch please" image in there ;) |
| 02:16 | < Mantisking> | LOL! |

| 02:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gentlemen, good night. |
| 02:16 | < Dukayn> | Yeah he does |
| 02:17 | < Dukayn> | And he does it SO WELL |
| 02:17 | < afny> | night Ced |
| 02:17 | < Dukayn> | night Ceddy |
| 02:17 | < Mantisking> | Is it my fault I generally build without using the three Ts? |
| 02:17 | < Mantisking> | Night Ced. |
| 02:17 | | Ced23Ric is now known as Ced|Bed |
| 02:17 | < afny> | okay, am I crazy, or was there a thread where Josh posted some crazy kung fu mech and then talked about the Solar Century setting? |
| 02:17 | < afny> | I can't find it |
| 02:18 | <@Ced|Bed> | Nah, MK. You just didn't build something for it. |
| 02:18 | < Dukayn> | It's not the building technique, it's just the "OH YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR A GODDAMN DECADE" |
| 02:18 | < Mantisking> | Ah. |
| 02:18 | <@Ced|Bed> | The whole: "Haha, you young whippersnappers, I got 50 of those!"-vibe may leave a bad taste in a mouth or two. |
| 02:18 | < Mantisking> | Hunh. |
| 02:19 | <@Ced|Bed> | I for one don't care too much. Others may see it in a different light. Your general matter-of-factly demeanor, as far as it can be read in the interwebz, adds to the potential impression. |
| 02:19 | < Mantisking> | Well, with the GF out of town, i have some free time to dump a lot of Lego on the floor and build. |
| 02:20 | < Dukayn> | DOOOO EEEEEET |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | Do that! I LOVED your Nameless'. |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | Those things were creepy as all hell. |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | Anyway. |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | My bed is calling. |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | Don't wanna keep it waiting. |
| 02:20 | < Mantisking> | I don't find them remotely scary. Maybe 'cause I built them. |
| 02:20 | <@Ced|Bed> | Later, gentlemen. |
| 02:20 | < Mantisking> | Laterz. |
| 02:20 | < Dukayn> | Yeah that's probably a big part of it |
| 02:21 | < Dukayn> | The aesthetic is certainly off-putting, which I guess is part of the idea of them. |
| 02:21 | < Mantisking> | I guess I like building non-human looking stuff. |
| 02:22 | < Mantisking> | The only problem with the Nameless is that they are huge in relationship to regular mechs. |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | How do they compare say to a Chub size-wise? |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | given it seems to be the gold standard is size comparisons |
| 02:23 | < Dukayn> | is=in |
| 02:24 | < Mantisking> | The tall one in the middle of the picture? You can fit a Chub under it with about 2/3 of a Chub-length to spare. |
| 02:24 | < Dukayn> | o_O yowza |
| 02:24 | < Dukayn> | that is big :P |
| 02:25 | < afny> | eh, I still don't think it's TOO big |
| 02:25 | < afny> | and if you were really worried about it you could just do all range calculations from the turntable |
| 02:25 | < afny> | and not consider the tentacles |
| 02:25 | < afny> | maybe not SC material, but crossover universe battle kosher. |
| 02:26 | < Mantisking> | The smaller ones with the tentacles are more reasonable. Depending on you set them, the Chub is about the same height or the height of the turntable. |
| 02:26 | < Dukayn> | yeah that's not too bad |
| 02:26 | < Dukayn> | the thing is they aren't bulky, so I could still sit my frame within HtH of the turntable as the legs are spindly. |
| 02:27 | < Dukayn> | thus, the size shouldn't be prohibitive to gameplay, really |
| 02:27 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 02:27 | < Dukayn> | You've got a ton of bionicle bits huh MK :P |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. |
| 02:28 | < afny> | I was going crazy today trying to use a bionicle foot |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | Oddly enough, I got the turntables off the PaB wall at my local Lego store. |
| 02:28 | < afny> | Wow, PAB has technic? |
| 02:28 | < Dukayn> | I've got some larger technic parts I'd like to use somehow, but they will probably only be good for terrain |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | No luck Afny? |
| 02:29 | < afny> | Hm, some luck, but I ended up going in a different direction |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | Occasionally they have technic and bionicle bits. They tend to go fast. |
| 02:29 | < afny> | and also I don't have any of those 1x2 bricks with axleholder that make it really easy |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | I have a fair amount, myself. |
| 02:30 | < afny> | Definitely getting some of them asap |
| 02:30 | < Mantisking> | Which parts were you looking at Duk? |
| 02:31 | < Mantisking> | Oh, if you have a Marshalls near you, keep an eye out for Brickmaster books. |
| 02:31 | < Dukayn> | this is the kit I have: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=9754-1 |
| 02:32 | < Mantisking> | I saw two Star Wars ones there today for $20. |
| 02:32 | < Dukayn> | lots of pieces which are cool but kinda out of MFZ scale to be useful. |
| 02:33 | < afny> | I've been trying to find a good use for some tan pieces like the piece on the side of that AT-AT's head |
| 02:33 | < Mantisking> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32333 This is the frame for my Double Scorpion tank. |
| 02:33 | < Dukayn> | the large armour plates I reckon could be used as terrain |
| 02:33 | < Dukayn> | but being one big piece means it's really flimsy cover :P |
| 02:34 | < Mantisking> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32311 That could be some sort of giant cutting arm. |
| 02:34 | < afny> | just put a bunch of 1x1 rounds |
| 02:34 | < afny> | in one of the holes |
| 02:34 | < afny> | call it "reinforced" |
| 02:34 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
| 02:34 | < Dukayn> | 30x 1x1 rounds |
| 02:34 | < afny> | heh |
| 02:34 | < Dukayn> | really reinforced |
| 02:35 | < Mantisking> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6536 I love these things. I use 'em like they were candy. |
| 02:35 | < afny> | I was using one of those in my bionicle foot |
| 02:35 | < afny> | attached the foot itself to a base using a clip tile on the little hydraulic |
| 02:36 | < afny> | and then used that to attach the frame bits |
| 02:36 | < Dukayn> | yeah those are n ice |
| 02:36 | < Dukayn> | good for guns |
| 02:36 | < Mantisking> | They make good heads too. |
| 02:37 | < afny> | http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo2zkyEj5b1qibz69.jpg |
| 02:37 | < afny> | reminds me of that head |
| 02:37 | < Dukayn> | heh |

| 06:20 | <+MittenNinja> | Sup guys? |
| 06:21 | <@randolph> | hey mn |
| 06:21 | <@randolph> | I think TJ's hdd fried |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | Other than that, I'm bricking up an entry to the TTT |
| 06:22 | <@Soren> | oh, dear |
| 06:22 | <@Soren> | woo |
| 06:23 | <+MittenNinja> | Nice! Excited to see it man |
| 06:23 | <@Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/2x0j6oh3qgbeckn/Peaches.png I tweaked. |
| 06:23 | <@randolph> | bahahaha |
| 06:23 | <+MittenNinja> | That is awesome. |
| 06:24 | <@randolph> | For some reason my brain keeps wanting "Central Bank" to say "Central Reserve," but I think either way is correct |
| 06:24 | <@randolph> | omg repeated serials, we've got a counterfeiter <_< |
| 06:25 | <+MittenNinja> | Ha |
| 06:25 | <@randolph> | Soren... are you *sure* these are real bills? Be honest. |
| 06:25 | <@Soren> | heh, yeah, I could have changed them, but it seemed like too much work |
| 06:25 | <@randolph> | heheh |
| 06:25 | <@Soren> | I bet you ten peaches that they'll trigger the protections on a scanner or printer. |
| 06:26 | <@randolph> | they build that in now? |
| 06:26 | <@Soren> | pretty sure it's at least partially hardware-level by now. |
| 06:26 | <@randolph> | huh |
| 06:26 | <@randolph> | As it happens, I just *bought* 12 peaches today |
| 06:26 | <@randolph> | But no bet |
| 06:26 | <@Soren> | alas. |
| 06:27 | <@randolph> | By the time they got to you, you'd be accused of importing mold |
| 06:27 | <@Soren> | well, once you have a nice crust and some spices, you can get to work wrecking the colonial economy. |
| 06:27 | <@Soren> | it's true. |
| 06:31 | | Carbonbass [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-afd4bea8.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 06:32 | < Carbonbass> | Doo doo dee doo, building hover trucks for no real reason. |
| 06:33 | <+MittenNinja> | That's the best reason |
| 06:33 | <@randolph> | WangTech secretyl funds a group of mercenary bakers with an anti-currency terrorist front. They're known as ?r? |
| 06:33 | <@randolph> | *They'er known in the area as ?r? |
| 06:36 | <~Noah> | The Circle? |
| 06:36 | <@Soren> | hah |
| 06:36 | <@randolph> | Well they're known around the rim as 2?r |
| 06:36 | <@randolph> | But in this area, they're ?r? |
| 06:37 | | * Dukayn[AFK] slaps randolph |
| 06:37 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | that was terrible |
| 06:37 | <@randolph> | IT'S A MATH PEACH JOKE, GIMME A BREAK |
| 06:37 | < Carbonbass> | Mittens, that triple-T challenge frame is cool as hell |
| 06:38 | <~Noah> | MATHEMATICAL! |
| 06:39 | <@randolph> | Well, yeah, that was in ?'d |
| 06:39 | <+MittenNinja> | Thanks man. |
| 06:39 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm super proud of that eye connection |
| 06:39 | <+MittenNinja> | It swivels and everything |
| 06:40 | <~Noah> | Going to sleep, got a bullshit day tomorrow I'm sure, might as well not be tired for it |
| 06:40 | <@randolph> | he showed us one with both eyes |
| 06:40 | <@randolph> | then, he killed it |
| 06:40 | <+MittenNinja> | I still have the picture |
| 06:40 | <@randolph> | it begged me for mercy, lord help me, it begged for mercy |
| 06:40 | < Carbonbass> | Old Yeller style? |
| 06:40 | <+MittenNinja> | Granted its on my pc at home |
| 06:41 | <+MittenNinja> | It's still in my dropbox if you go into the logs and pull it up. |
| 06:46 | < Carbonbass> | My company is going to look mildly pathetic until I get the bricklink order off. 3 frames and hover trucks. 3 with spotting gear, and one with a direct fire weapon (quad 25mm cannons anti-aircraft style). |
| 06:47 | <+MittenNinja> | Got any pics? |
| 06:47 | < Carbonbass> | soon, still putting them together |
| 06:48 | < Carbonbass> | It would go faster if I had my parts sorted like a sane person |
| 06:50 | <+MittenNinja> | I know what you mean |
| 06:50 | <+MittenNinja> | I spent 20 minutes tracking down all my black Travis bricks to put together my iguanas |
| 06:51 | < Carbonbass> | I nearly cried when I saw Ced's sorted bins. |
| 06:52 | <+MittenNinja> | I know right? So jelly |
| 06:52 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | To be fair a whole company of Iguanas is like 120 travis bricks :P |
| 06:52 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukayn |
| 06:53 | <+MittenNinja> | Haha |
| 06:53 | < Carbonbass> | Sweet jesus |
| 06:53 | <+MittenNinja> | Not that many |
| 06:54 | < Dukayn> | 9 each yeah? |
| 06:54 | <+MittenNinja> | More like 12 each when I have the Heelies on them |
| 06:54 | < Dukayn> | ah |
| 06:54 | < Dukayn> | well when I counted it wasn't a heelie |
| 06:54 | < Carbonbass> | You know, I like the new grays, but since 60% of my legos come from the Gen-1 Star Wars sets it makes all my stuff come out a little hodgepodge in the grey department. |
| 06:54 | <+MittenNinja> | Which I do on all 5 |
| 06:55 | <+MittenNinja> | So 60 Travis bricks |
| 06:56 | <+MittenNinja> | Then I have 7 in each assault chub |
| 06:57 | <+MittenNinja> | So add 21 there |
| 06:57 | <+MittenNinja> | Then all the fat snakes |
| 06:57 | <+MittenNinja> | 25 more there |
| 06:57 | <+MittenNinja> | So 106 currently in use |
| 06:57 | < Dukayn> | I have 7 |
| 06:59 | < Dukayn> | Which is enough for a Harrier |
| 06:59 | < Dukayn> | but I don't have all the other pieces to finish it :( |
| 07:00 | <+MittenNinja> | :( |
| 07:00 | <@randolph> | CB: the old gray is harder to get now, you could probably send it into BL and get out enough cash to buy even more stuff in the new gray |
| 07:00 | <+MittenNinja> | True statement |
| 07:00 | < Carbonbass> | Now that's an idea |
| 07:01 | <@randolph> | "leverage," that's the word I was looking for |
| 07:02 | | * Ced|Sleep waves from the grave. |
| 07:02 | <+MittenNinja> | Why are you sleeping in a grave? |
| 07:02 | <@randolph> | All the fools he killed |
| 07:02 | | Ced|Sleep is now known as Ceddobear |
| 07:02 | < Carbonbass> | Because he was dead tired! |
| 07:03 | < Ceddobear> | Morning, gents. |
| 07:03 | | mode/#mf0 [+o Ceddobear] by ChanServ |
| 07:03 | <+MittenNinja> | Sup? |
| 07:03 | <@Ceddobear> | Holy hell, Randy, you're rubbing off. :D |
| 07:03 | <@Ceddobear> | MittenNinja: I am. |
| 07:03 | <@randolph> | hee hee |
| 07:03 | <+MittenNinja> | Harhar |
| 07:03 | <@randolph> | do you feel stiff? |
| 07:03 | < Dukayn> | wb Ced |
| 07:03 | <+MittenNinja> | :p |
| 07:04 | < Dukayn> | I dunno about you guys but I'd take care of that before logging into iRC |
| 07:05 | <@randolph> | we channel that kind of urge |
| 07:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Fuck, I give up. |
| 07:07 | <@Ceddobear> | I am not even gonna try adding to it. |
| 07:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy's the unbridled, undefeated champion of puns. |
| 07:08 | | Dukayn is now known as Dukayn[AFK] |
| 07:08 | <@Soren> | It's true. |
| 07:08 | <@randolph> | now if only I could channel that into cool frames that people will actually use :| |
| 07:08 | <@Ceddobear> | Are you said that no one comes 'round and copies one of your creations? |
| 07:08 | <@randolph> | not exactly |
| 07:08 | <@randolph> | While that would be nice, I want stuff that just looks like it "fits" |
| 07:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Dude, I had a stroke of luck and apparently, two people copied my Vulture. |
| 07:09 | <@Ceddobear> | ANd I was superproud. |
| 07:09 | <@randolph> | well that thing is awesome |
| 07:09 | <@Ceddobear> | And then I realized the vanity and decided to ignore all that. |
| 07:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Now I am just building for myself. |
| 07:10 | <@randolph> | It's more of a litmus test |
| 07:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Master your cravings and defeat them. When you reach the point where you want naught, you will receive all. |
| 07:10 | <@randolph> | If most of my comments are "that's cool, but..." |
| 07:10 | <@randolph> | Then maybe I'm not playing the same game, you know? |
| 07:11 | <+MittenNinja> | A lot of the stuff I see from you guys is good. |
| 07:11 | <+MittenNinja> | Most of the time.when I point something out its something I personally am not a fan of. |
| 07:11 | <+MittenNinja> | But it doesn't mean it looks bad |
| 07:11 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, the things is, like we were talking about, your constant fallback to slapstick. |
| 07:11 | <@Ceddobear> | And DUDE, Mr- Chibs is a riot. :D |
| 07:11 | <@randolph> | I wasn't even trying this time (terracotta) |
| 07:11 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 07:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, the Terra's ain't slapstick. |
| 07:12 | <@randolph> | I don't want to go to that well *too* often, I might have played out his welcome |
| 07:12 | <@Ceddobear> | But the head looks goofy. |
| 07:12 | <@Ceddobear> | It's a hard head (hurr durr) to play off well. |
| 07:12 | <@Ceddobear> | But I think AYI can help you. |
| 07:13 | <@randolph> | I'm recoloring it right now with cannibalization |
| 07:13 | <@randolph> | see if that salvages anything |
| 07:13 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekil/7370972724/in/photostream |
| 07:13 | <@Ceddobear> | Here. |
| 07:14 | <@Ceddobear> | Think that could help you? |
| 07:14 | <@randolph> | checking |
| 07:14 | <@Ceddobear> | It's basically a similar approach. But executed way more gritty. |
| 07:14 | <@randolph> | Just the head? |
| 07:15 | <@randolph> | because honestly the rest of it isn't up to his standards |
| 07:15 | <@Soren> | I usually aim for 'simple and iconic'. So, really simple block shapes that come together intuitively. |
| 07:15 | <@randolph> | maybe the weapon |
| 07:15 | <@randolph> | Soren: I get the feeling that I lack a bunch of experience for that |
| 07:16 | <@Soren> | a good challenge for this is, start out in nothing but grayscale. |
| 07:16 | <@randolph> | because I'm still in the "I know what I like," phase without "I can generate it effortlessly" |
| 07:16 | <@randolph> | ah, so you can see the silhouette? |
| 07:16 | <@randolph> | and ONLY that, with no contrast distraction? |
| 07:16 | <@Soren> | pick three on the black/dkgray/ltgray/white spectrum and just use those. |
| 07:16 | <@Soren> | yeah. |
| 07:17 | <@Soren> | well, it's so you can make contrast distinctions pop out at you and see how they break up a body shape. |
| 07:17 | <@Ceddobear> | See, I like to take one of those, a primary colour and a secondary. The secondary can be another of those. |
| 07:17 | <@Ceddobear> | But I try to avoid to mix the greys. |
| 07:17 | <@Soren> | try converting one of your existing pics to grayscale as a reference. |
| 07:18 | <@randolph> | nod |
| 07:18 | < Carbonbass> | Does Ced not like the "dirty" hodgepodge grey look? |
| 07:18 | <@Ceddobear> | CB: Your stuff is an exception. |
| 07:19 | <+MittenNinja> | I do (or at least used to) do all my stuff in black dbley first. Then add color |
| 07:19 | < Carbonbass> | I only use it because that's what I have, but I do like the look. |
| 07:20 | <@Ceddobear> | It works for you. |
| 07:20 | <@Ceddobear> | They feel old/rusty, but it works. |
| 07:20 | <@randolph> | yeah, your stuff is really solid CB |
| 07:20 | <@randolph> | For the most part, it just "fits" |
| 07:21 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, Randy. Try to take pics without flash. |
| 07:21 | <+MittenNinja> | For sure |
| 07:21 | <@randolph> | Ced: yeah, never got around to building a lightbox or getting a handy movable light source |
| 07:21 | <@randolph> | I guess I could grab a flashlight |
| 07:21 | <@Ceddobear> | Makes the plastic less sharp and not reflect the flash, which makes the Plastic feel less ... plasticky. |
| 07:21 | <@Ceddobear> | See, I take my shots when the daylight is good. |
| 07:21 | < Carbonbass> | It reminds me of older military hardware, like Tomcats other older stuff, old bits mixed with new bits and none of the colors match too well. |
| 07:22 | <@Ceddobear> | I fond out about the detrimental effects of flash by taking back/forth pictures. :D |
| 07:22 | <@Ceddobear> | +u |
| 07:22 | <@Ceddobear> | And what I do for hours, if I am really looking for something, is playing with colours in LDD. |
| 07:23 | <@Ceddobear> | Turn this white, turn this black, what does it look like? |
| 07:23 | <@Ceddobear> | You have the luxury of LDD and being able to use it. |
| 07:23 | <@Ceddobear> | ... do so. :D |
| 07:23 | <@Ceddobear> | And make it look pretty. |
| 07:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Ctrl +6, check the three boxes under the first divider, pull the shading lever up, restart LDD. |
| 07:24 | <@randolph> | Heh, so far I still use MLCAD |
| 07:24 | <@randolph> | You guys have so many horror stories |
| 07:24 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | I don't have the slider up |
| 07:24 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | cos it creates jaggies |
| 07:25 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | and doesn't actually look much better |
| 07:25 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | but MLCad is better :P |
| 07:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Meh, LDD is fast. |
| 07:27 | <@Ceddobear> | And it don't really matter what you use, but do so. :D |
| 07:27 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Yeah, that's the only reason I use it at all to be honest. It's "easier" to throw things together. |
| 07:27 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Then again, there are so many limitations that sometimes it's even easier to use MLCad from scratch. |
| 07:31 | <+MittenNinja> | All in all I don't really use digital building programs anymore |
| 07:31 | <+MittenNinja> | At most ill check yonder what a part number is |
| 07:31 | <+MittenNinja> | Yonder? Really autocorrect? |
| 07:31 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | LOL |
| 07:31 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Classy autocorrect |
| 07:32 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Yeah when I have more parts I'm sure I'll build physically more. |
| 07:32 | < Carbonbass> | I can never come up with ideas as good on the digital programs as I can just slammin bricks together by hand. |
| 07:32 | <+MittenNinja> | Agreed cb |
| 07:32 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | I'm hoping I can put in a BL order next pay. |
| 07:32 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Nab about $30 worth of stuff |
| 07:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy: I'll give your Terracotta Warriors a shot today. |
| 07:33 | <@Ceddobear> | I have a few ideas. :) |
| 07:35 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Picked up one each of these yesterday http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=9677-1 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=9678-1 |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | cool |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | I just rebricked in 3 colors + accent |
| 07:35 | < Carbonbass> | Once I actually get this BT army sold off I think I'm just going to go balls to the walls on a BL order. Spend $100, get 3-4 more Hellions built and replenish my garage in one fell swoop. |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | dark bley, light bley, black + red |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | I used no flash |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | used the bathroom lighting :x |
| 07:36 | < Carbonbass> | Living in a garage has it's advantages. Nice florescent lighting. |
| 07:36 | <@Ceddobear> | How do YOU feel? |
| 07:36 | <@Ceddobear> | Does it look better to you? |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | Well, it's hard to say, because I never meant it to be that clownsuit mix |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | I rendered it in that dried clay color |
| 07:37 | <@randolph> | I was going to see about that vinyl dye <_< |
| 07:37 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. |
| 07:39 | <+MittenNinja> | Are those new duke? |
| 07:39 | < Carbonbass> | I am missing one piece to finish these trucks off. It's a piece I have, literally, a metric shit ton of, why can't I find just one more? |
| 07:40 | <@randolph> | Please forgive the left arm, I am literally out of black, dark bley, or light bley tiles: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/sets/72157630260096474/ |
| 07:41 | < Carbonbass> | So. Many. Angles. I love it. |
| 07:41 | <+MittenNinja> | weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/that-fucking-piece.jpg |
| 07:41 | < Carbonbass> | Exactly |
| 07:41 | <@randolph> | CB: Because I'm not using flash, I just snapped a few to make sure I got at least one non-blurry one :P |
| 07:41 | <+MittenNinja> | I like that a lot more Randy |
| 07:42 | < Carbonbass> | No, I mean on the frame itself |
| 07:42 | <@randolph> | @MN Is it: 1) removing the guan dao, 2) making the chest thinner, 3) not using terracotta, or 4) camera and lighting? |
| 07:42 | <@randolph> | @CB ah, ok, thanks |
| 07:43 | < Carbonbass> | So many hard angles, and look, on the left shoulder. It's that damn piece I'm looking for right now. |
| 07:43 | <@Ceddobear> | :D |
| 07:43 | <@randolph> | his left or your left? |
| 07:43 | <+MittenNinja> | 1, 2, and 3 |
| 07:43 | < Carbonbass> | His right |
| 07:43 | <+MittenNinja> | Looks like more cohesive frame |
| 07:43 | <+MittenNinja> | +a |
| 07:44 | <@randolph> | @ MN: dammit, somehow I need to work in that fucking guan dao someday >_< |
| 07:44 | <+MittenNinja> | Hahaha |
| 07:44 | <+MittenNinja> | It will happen my friend. When you're ready |
| 07:44 | <@randolph> | So the head is less off-putting without all the other stuff? |
| 07:44 | <+MittenNinja> | Yes |
| 07:44 | <@randolph> | I guess I should really just wait for Ced to figure something out in that department |
| 07:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, you have a great concept and idea. |
| 07:45 | <@Ceddobear> | It's not that the start is bad. |
| 07:45 | <+MittenNinja> | Simple but detailed is usually the best way to go |
| 07:45 | < Carbonbass> | I finally found the damn thing. Sitting under one of my Frames on the shelf. How it got there, I do not know. Picture time naow. |
| 07:45 | <@Ceddobear> | You just, somewhere down the line, lose the execution part of it. |
| 07:45 | <@Ceddobear> | That on there is a lot cleaner. Simpler. |
| 07:46 | <@Soren> | simple with only relevant details might be a better way to put it. |
| 07:46 | <+MittenNinja> | Right |
| 07:46 | <@randolph> | terracotta's not okay because it's too unlikely a camo job, and it's not the base metal? |
| 07:46 | <@Ceddobear> | And it makes it easier to the eye to discern the shape and function. :D |
| 07:46 | <@randolph> | so like... tan is better? |
| 07:46 | <+MittenNinja> | You make it too busy and you lose all focus on the cool bits |
| 07:46 | <@randolph> | nod |
| 07:46 | <@randolph> | I still don't have pretty much any greebling experience |
| 07:46 | <+MittenNinja> | Tan should be good |
| 07:47 | <+MittenNinja> | Greebling isn't necessary |
| 07:47 | <@Soren> | it's a detail. Think of the process like this: you've got a list of some features that just fucking NEED to be there, and then you have a list of options and tweaks that you can try out and experiment with. |
| 07:47 | <+MittenNinja> | Sometimes it shouldn't be done |
| 07:47 | <@Soren> | it's definitely on the second list. Just try to get the shape and general features you like right now, then refine. |
| 07:47 | <@randolph> | And the 3-high chest - that was worse because it looked like the frame actually had a sheet of lamellar strapped to his chest? |
| 07:48 | <@randolph> | Or was the barrel-shape just too ... somethign |
| 07:48 | <+MittenNinja> | Yeah, it looked like it was made out of a refridgerator box |
| 07:48 | <@randolph> | Sorry for the question-spam btw, this is just very helpful stuff |
| 07:48 | <+MittenNinja> | For sure |
| 07:48 | <+MittenNinja> | Glad to help |
| 07:49 | <@randolph> | So, it looks like my 50 black tile order should have been tan / light bley / dark bley also :P |
| 07:49 | <@randolph> | @ soren: So is my fixation on "woo, I can see the plates!" a bad thing then? |
| 07:50 | <@Soren> | I'm hesitant to say it's bad, or that I'm completely sure what you're referring to. |
| 07:50 | <@Soren> | Actually, I'm hesitant to say, point-blank, that anything is 'bad' without explaining why. |
| 07:50 | <@randolph> | Oh, the chest / backplate (both are identical) have that angle-flat-angle look |
| 07:50 | <@randolph> | they're made of individual cheeseslopes and tiles to accomplish the "interlocking plates" look |
| 07:51 | <@Soren> | I'd put it this way: never let a concept block your willingness to experiment. |
| 07:51 | <@randolph> | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Soldier_Horse.JPG/448px -Soldier_Horse.JPG |

| 07:52 | <@Soren> | That might be a great starting concept that just doesn't work at this scale. |
| 07:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Does that help you? |
| 07:53 | <@Soren> | So, for the guy as you have him now - maybe try a hinged flap of armor over the crotch? |
| 07:54 | <@randolph> | @ Ced: Thanks - it's different enough that I'll need time to digest the concepting |
| 07:54 | <@Soren> | the biggest issue I can see is that he doesn't have much of a waist. Getting that separation of pelvis and chest isn't mandatory but it's often a good idea. |
| 07:55 | <@randolph> | re: hinge flap, a two plate hinge combo, or just one hinge plate hanging down for aesthetic? |
| 07:55 | < Carbonbass> | All bow before the Scout Hover Truck company! http://www.flickr.com/photos/78359253@N03/7430351480/ |
| 07:56 | <@Soren> | Try both. When you're starting out, trying all the options is how you make discoveries. |
| 07:56 | < Carbonbass> | You'll kill them easily, but at least they'll know what direction it came from! http://www.flickr.com/photos/78359253@N03/7430352384/ |
| 07:56 | <@randolph> | hee @ cb |
| 07:57 | <@randolph> | @ soren: I just meant what did you mean by the suggestion |
| 07:57 | <@Soren> | I was thinking one plate, with a couple of 1x1 tiles on it. |
| 07:57 | <@randolph> | k |
| 07:58 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_2.png |
| 07:58 | <@randolph> | Ooh, that's neat |
| 07:58 | < Carbonbass> | That looks really good |
| 07:59 | <@Soren> | yeah |
| 07:59 | <@Soren> | brb, food acquisition. |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | See, I'm just playing off Soren's ideas, the picture you posted and try to get a look that has distinct areas. |
| 07:59 | <@randolph> | I can even actually incorporate a similar idea |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | THIS is superstructure. BE BLACK. |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | THIS is armor. BE DARK RED. |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | YOU are greeble. BE DARK GREY. |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | And then I continue. |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | And ask the parts. D |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | *:D |
| 07:59 | <@Ceddobear> | ARE YOU GREEBLE?! |
| 08:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Imagine me, with a desk light. |
| 08:00 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 08:00 | <@Ceddobear> | And chainsmokingl. |
| 08:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Intimidates them! |
| 08:00 | <@randolph> | third degree |
| 08:00 | < Carbonbass> | Pray tell, what is the technical definition of the word "Greeble"? |
| 08:00 | <@Ceddobear> | So they give up their secrets faster. |
| 08:00 | <@randolph> | "stuff that makes it look more complex and stuff" |
| 08:00 | < Carbonbass> | That's what I figured |
| 08:01 | <@Ceddobear> | Carbonbass: Thingeys and majiggers, that do the do-whoopsies on the thingeymabobs with the whatchumacallits. |
| 08:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Or, as I would like to quote myself: "I have no fucking clue what that shit is for, and I really hope it would make sense to someone living in that world, because I'm just slapping it on for the hell of it." |
| 08:02 | < Carbonbass> | Half of my hovertruck is made up of giblets. |
| 08:02 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/commarray_2.png <-- THIS ... is greeble. |
| 08:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Observe the lightsabre handle -> sextant -> antenna. :D |
| 08:03 | < Carbonbass> | My body was not ready for that level of greeble |
| 08:03 | <@Ceddobear> | On a cliptile. |
| 08:03 | <@Ceddobear> | :D |
| 08:03 | <@Ceddobear> | There is more: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/commarray_3.png |
| 08:03 | <@Ceddobear> | I am pretty proud of the phone and pickaxe. |
| 08:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Or the keyboard. :D |
| 08:04 | < Carbonbass> | There may be only a handful of men in the entire word that can just slap a pickaxe onto a building of that scale and make it work. Feel very proud of yourself. |
| 08:06 | | * Ceddobear bows. |
| 08:06 | < Carbonbass> | Whell, I'm going to follow Soren's example and go find some grub. |
| 08:06 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 08:06 | | Carbonbass [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-afd4bea8.res.rr.com] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 08:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Alright. |
| 08:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Let's think about the back. |
| 08:07 | <@Ceddobear> | More lamellar armor, eh? |
| 08:07 | <@randolph> | It was identical in the original, though I snuck a lampholder in the layer immediately beneath |
| 08:07 | <@randolph> | in order to do back attachments |
| 08:09 | <@randolph> | Vert: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7430398570/, Horiz: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7430398386/in/ |
| 08:09 | <@Ceddobear> | I'll cheap out on that and try something here. |
| 08:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, you're 'frame looks ... fat. |
| 08:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe that gives it a comic effect. |
| 08:10 | <@Ceddobear> | For both head and chest, that is. |
| 08:10 | <@randolph> | It's roughly the same proportions as a heavy chubs >_< |
| 08:10 | <@randolph> | I think that means I don't have enough back and shoulder greeble to make it look right |
| 08:11 | <@Soren> | b. |
| 08:11 | <@randolph> | wb |
| 08:11 | <@randolph> | that was v fast |
| 08:12 | <@Soren> | shop's closed. |
| 08:12 | <@randolph> | doh |
| 08:12 | <@Soren> | yeah |
| 08:14 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_3.png |
| 08:14 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_4.png |
| 08:14 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_5.png |
| 08:14 | <@randolph> | Do those chains unsnap? |
| 08:15 | <@randolph> | I saw a ... 15? 21? link one for sale on BL |
| 08:15 | <@Ceddobear> | I dunno. :D |
| 08:16 | <@Soren> | no, but there's a 5-link version IIRC |
| 08:16 | <@randolph> | ah |
| 08:17 | <@randolph> | that hanging cloth idea was genius, Ced |
| 08:17 | <@randolph> | I went and mounted it front and back already |
| 08:17 | <@randolph> | Not sure if it's enough waist definition |
| 08:18 | <@randolph> | @ Soren: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7430398570/in/photostream/ |
| 08:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Soren's idea. |
| 08:18 | <@Soren> | should be fine. |
| 08:18 | <@Ceddobear> | I just picked a part to represent it. :D |
| 08:18 | <@Soren> | yeah, the flag might be better, in the long run. |
| 08:19 | <@Soren> | the horizontal version seems more appropriate to me. |
| 08:19 | <@Soren> | Less cockular. |
| 08:19 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 08:19 | <@Soren> | Have you tried a circular eye? |
| 08:19 | <@Soren> | that might also help. |
| 08:19 | <@randolph> | Don't have those, and they're pricey, IIRC |
| 08:20 | <@randolph> | :( |
| 08:20 | <@Soren> | oh, you can use a standard 1x1 round plate. |
| 08:20 | <@randolph> | oh |
| 08:20 | <@randolph> | yeah, I've got lots, sec |
| 08:20 | <@Soren> | I'm just wondering if that might not make for a better face. |
| 08:26 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_6.png |
| 08:26 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/tc_7.png |
| 08:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Gave him a scrotum and a back flap. |
| 08:26 | <@randolph> | roundeye: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7430461776/in/photostream |
| 08:27 | | * Ceddobear doesn't feel love. |
| 08:27 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 08:27 | <@Ceddobear> | Y'know ... |
| 08:27 | <@Soren> | I dunno! think he has more personality this way. |
| 08:27 | <@Soren> | I* |
| 08:27 | <@Ceddobear> | It kind of reminds me of an Orion. |
| 08:27 | <@randolph> | Linky? |
| 08:28 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | The round is better |
| 08:28 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.solaris7.com/files/members/69/Orion_3050.jpg |
| 08:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Ish. |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | aha |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | Because the helmet makes him neckless? |
| 08:29 | <@Ceddobear> | http://hypesrus.com/files/5499427054_3e5a27fd4b_z.jpg <--- THAT THING IS GINORMOUS. |
| 08:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, I guess that is it. |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | holy shit |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | I... hold me |
| 08:30 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Yowza |
| 08:30 | <@randolph> | That's a neat chaingun idea |
| 08:30 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | lflimsy |
| 08:30 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | -l |
| 08:30 | <@Soren> | very flimsy, yeah |
| 08:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Actually ... |
| 08:31 | <@Ceddobear> | ... the singular units aren't. |
| 08:31 | <@Soren> | the 8-barrel version is less awesome but super stable. |
| 08:31 | <@Ceddobear> | As in 2x binocs + 2x bars. |
| 08:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Those parts are stable. |
| 08:31 | <@Soren> | well, yeah. |
| 08:32 | <@randolph> | 8 unit version = wrapped around a 5-stud? |
| 08:32 | <@Soren> | yep |
| 08:32 | <@randolph> | Like basically my Nezha with bars? |
| 08:32 | <@randolph> | ... I can't believe I didn't think of that :P |
| 08:32 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy, I do you one better. |
| 08:32 | <@randolph> | I have both pieces sitting on my desk, the Nezha and the bow |
| 08:32 | <@Ceddobear> | 3mm rigid hose. |
| 08:32 | <@randolph> | (the violin bow) |
| 08:32 | <@Ceddobear> | You are welcome. |
| 08:33 | <@randolph> | I've never even SEEN that stuff, but apparently I have to getsome |
| 08:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, yes. |
| 08:33 | <@Ceddobear> | I have it in every Chub. |
| 08:33 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | his Chubs are rigid |
| 08:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Those three Ijads with tire legs. |
| 08:33 | <@randolph> | Is that how they stand so erect, Duk? |
| 08:33 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | in fact, his Chubs have rigid hoses |
| 08:33 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | yes, obvs |
| 08:33 | <@Ceddobear> | All those AN/PEQs. |
| 08:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Etc. |
| 08:34 | <@Ceddobear> | You just cut yourself 2L bars and make a neat gun. :D |
| 08:34 | <@Ceddobear> | You could even do it with 4 or 3 barrels. |
| 08:34 | <@randolph> | @ Ced: I appreciate the help, especially the parts use on the flap, but part of the reason I didn't use Yates' head design is because it looks more like a mendicant - I'm not going for JP |
| 08:35 | <@randolph> | The front chest is neat, I'll have to try turning his chest sideways |
| 08:36 | <@randolph> | See if I like him bulkier and squatter, or taller and slimmer |
| 08:36 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukey[DinDins] |
| 08:37 | <@randolph> | The way I got his backplate to = his front plate is because he's not a chubs at all: his shoulders are ringplate - lampholder - ringplate |
| 08:37 | <@randolph> | If I build sufficient backpack, that won't matter, but I guess this goes back to "which details do I absolutely require" - and I'm a bit lost |
| 08:38 | <@randolph> | If I don't have the color scheme, and I lose the armor... well what part of it is still a Terracotta Warrior? |
| 08:38 | <@Soren> | I would keep the armor, but think about a more visually appealing color scheme. |
| 08:39 | <@Soren> | brown with a red chest, maybe. |
| 08:39 | <@Soren> | that's less bland but keeps the flavor. |
| 08:39 | <@randolph> | ah I see |
| 08:39 | <@Soren> | brown with a dark blue chest could be killer. |
| 08:39 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | meh & blah are not a good colour scheme :P |
| 08:39 | <@randolph> | trying to color match made it dull? |
| 08:40 | <@randolph> | So why're you so against the ORANGE SPICE, Duke? :P |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | It's a dull orange with a dark grey |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | the colours don't complement |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | just looks muddy |
| 08:41 | <@randolph> | ... it's... mud |
| 08:41 | <@randolph> | but yeah, point taken |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | It's a giant robot |
| 08:41 | <@randolph> | Losing the forest for the mud |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | is it REALLY made out of terracotta? |
| 08:41 | < Dukey[DinDins]> | anyway, off to get dinner now :) |
| 08:41 | <@randolph> | What was it josh said? |
| 08:41 | <@randolph> | space mud? |
| 08:42 | <@Soren> | Even a tiny bit of color can perk the design up. |
| 08:42 | <@randolph> | yeah, I'm not digging my heels in |
| 08:42 | <@Soren> | brown with a few pieces of orange trim, for example. |
| 08:42 | <@randolph> | next step is back to MLCAD to play with color |
| 08:43 | <@Soren> | Well, I'm trying to suggest cool ways to get what you want. |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | nod, I mean "test which pieces are brown/orange brown/red brown/blue" etc |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | because I don't have most of it |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | physically |
| 08:44 | <@randolph> | Kind of like what Duk was doing with the black/orange harrier the other night here |
| 08:44 | <@Soren> | Yeah. |
| 08:45 | <@Soren> | http://images.wikia.com/gundam/images/8/82/Msj06iicbtierenhighmobi.jpg this guy is a good example. Just a little bit of bright, vibrant color keeps him from being completely boring. |
| 08:45 | <@randolph> | Huh |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | That's a really good example |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | Also makes me wonder if I shouldn't be making the head *shorter* |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | hm, that would require further parts experimentation |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | I should get to bed |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | thanks for all the help, guys |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | o/ |
| 08:47 | <@Soren> | g'night! |
| 08:52 | <+MittenNinja> | Night! |
| 08:52 | <+MittenNinja> | Siren, any suggestions for building a larger version of the fat snake? |
| 08:52 | <+MittenNinja> | *Soren |
| 08:53 | <@Soren> | hrm? |
| 08:53 | <+MittenNinja> | I want to build the king cobra's frame |
| 08:53 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm thinkig big, beefy, but still has a similar aesthetic to the fat snakes |
| 08:53 | <@Soren> | hmm. |
| 08:54 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm also thinking it'd be super cool if I could get an armored "lip" around the head |
| 08:54 | <+MittenNinja> | Almost giving the head a sunken in vibe |
| 08:55 | <@Soren> | hmm. Yeah, that could be good. |
| 08:56 | <@Ceddobear> | HA. |
| 08:56 | <@Soren> | http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101027031704/gundam/images/7/75/HG_Ahead .jpg I might steal from this guy's design for that. |
| 08:56 | <@Ceddobear> | By this rate, he'll build giant Lindworms in no time. |
| 08:57 | <@Ceddobear> | Ha, that head is no axe. |
| 08:57 | <@Ceddobear> | THEY LIE. |
| 08:57 | <+MittenNinja> | Possibly |
| 09:00 | <@Soren> | If nothing else, the louvered back thrusters and the modular rifle are good. |
| 09:00 | <+MittenNinja> | True |
| 09:01 | <+MittenNinja> | I was thinking something more along the lines of this. |
| 09:01 | <+MittenNinja> | http://axuslords.webs.com/mech3lf.jpg |
| 09:01 | <+MittenNinja> | At least for the head area |
| 09:01 | <@Soren> | mm. |
| 09:01 | <+MittenNinja> | Get that huge shoulder muscle.vibe going |
| 09:02 | <@Soren> | yeah. Might be best to think of it as a vest, with a collar coming up from behind. |
| 09:02 | <+MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 09:03 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm still waiting for some parts to start working on this |
| 09:03 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm actually going to go white |
| 09:04 | <@Soren> | hmm! not a bad plan. |
| 09:05 | <@Soren> | could look really nice with some dakr green trim. |
| 09:05 | <@Soren> | dark* |
| 09:05 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm thinking.either that or some of the vinyl die.for trim |
| 09:06 | <+MittenNinja> | Then give him some white fat snake guards |
| 09:07 | <+MittenNinja> | "White snakes" |
| 09:08 | <@Soren> | sounds like a plan. |
| 09:08 | <@Soren> | Speaking of plans. I think it's time actual foodings happened. |
| 09:09 | <+MittenNinja> | Ha |
| 09:09 | <+MittenNinja> | Well.good luck on your food endeavor |
| 09:09 | <@Soren> | as opposed to theoretical foodings. |

| 12:21 | <@Soren|Devouring> | Sunday trains can go fuck themselves. |
| 12:21 | | Soren|Devouring is now known as Soren |
| 12:23 | <@Ceddobear> | They really can go do that. |
| 12:23 | <@Ceddobear> | What's up? |
| 12:25 | <@Soren> | groceries acquired. |
| 12:30 | <@Ceddobear> | It is a good day when food enters the house. |
| 12:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh boy. I find my self constantly working LDD like a whore. |
| 12:33 | <@Ceddobear> | "Yeah, I know, you don't like that. Bend over or you get the cane, bitch." |
| 12:34 | <@Ceddobear> | Hey Soren, what's your take on the Vinyl Dye thingey? |
| 12:34 | <@Ceddobear> | Too much of a purist or acceptable for parts that only come in one colour breaking the palette? |
| 12:40 | <@Soren> | I'm not a purist. |
| 12:41 | <@Soren> | I'm an aesthetic snob, so my take is that if you do a good job, I'm fine with it, but if it sucks, I'll point and laugh. |
| 12:42 | <@Soren> | Joshua has a weird purist thing, but it's not really consistent or well articulated, so he might be fine with it or he might not. Who knows! |
| 12:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Huh? :D |
| 12:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Share more to me, how does this manifest? |
| 12:44 | <@Soren> | His test is that he 'likes the reproducability of Lego' which seems odd given that there's a bunch of shit in official instructions that violates it, like cutting pneumatic tubing. |
| 12:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Ah, but the tube cutting is okay. |
| 12:45 | <@Ceddobear> | But Greg's lamp holder destruction is heresy? |
| 12:45 | <@Soren> | My limit is that I try to stick to only cutting or painting in ways that don't break the illusion of Official Legoness. |
| 12:46 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/japchub.png <-- Comments? |
| 12:46 | <@Soren> | I'd like to experiment with vinyl dye - I haven't painted anything, yet. |
| 12:46 | <@Soren> | very nice. |
| 12:46 | <@Soren> | I don't like the feet, but the rest is awesome. |
| 12:48 | <@Ceddobear> | I tried to get those ninja socks going. |
| 12:48 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm. Maybe with those logs instead of the headlight bricks. |
| 12:48 | <@Soren> | it may look better to me posed, I dunno. |
| 12:50 | <@Ceddobear> | How's that? |
| 12:50 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/ninjasocks.png |
| 12:52 | <@Soren> | mm! interesting! |
| 12:52 | <@Soren> | Can you work in some Z-axis splay, so the toes point outward? |
| 12:53 | <@Soren> | (might have to tweak the hips.) |
| 12:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Sure, gimme a sec. |
| 13:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Lemme give you some pose ... |
| 13:02 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/japchub2.png |

| 14:00 | <~Noah> | Crossbows were uses by Japanese military, as the Chinese and Japanese exchanged a lot of ideas regarding warfare, but it was exceedingly rare |
| 14:00 | < Dukayn> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/zerk_dual.png << tell me how that is not on crack. He's like... permanent roid raging :P |
| 14:00 | <~Noah> | Plus it's the year 20XX, so wikipedia is probably down for them |
| 14:01 | < Dukayn> | Bahahaha |
| 14:01 | < Dukayn> | With SUPA in effect (the SU's version of SOPA) Wikipedia is on permanent blackout. |

| 14:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe the horsey thing will help. |
| 14:06 | < Dukayn> | There's a horse armour thingy which looks like a dragon head and never mind you just said as much |

| 14:26 | <+afny> | that's awesome. |

| 15:10 | <~Noah> | I think it would be black, like their skin |
| 15:11 | <@Soren> | you should have a scout, with a big paper lantern. |
| 15:11 | <@Ceddobear> | But then again, polearms are fucking sweet. |

| 15:13 | <~Noah> | Otherwise get cracking on a horse frame |
| 15:14 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Yes |
| 15:14 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | MFZ needs more cavalry |
| 15:14 | <@Ceddobear> | No ... no it doesn't. |

| 15:15 | < CaGeRit> | Screw your horses. |
| 15:15 | < CaGeRit> | (not literaly) |
| 15:15 | <~Noah> | more kalamari |
| 15:15 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | And we're back to sushi |
| 15:15 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Obviously the most popular choice now. |
| 15:16 | <~Noah> | more katamari? |
| 15:16 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | ... my god |

| 15:17 | < CaGeRit> | He perplexes me, so I cannot have an opinion. |
| 15:18 | <~Noah> | Ceddobear: You're unaware of katamari? It was the reason to own a PS2 |
| 15:18 | <@Ceddobear> | MK: He combines several attributes in one person that are detrimental to his case. |
| 15:18 | <@Ceddobear> | And he has only few points, other than entertainment value, to make up for it. |
| 15:19 | < CaGeRit> | So he's like a shit sandwich with more shit than bread? |
| 15:22 | < Mantisking> | Ew. |
| 15:23 | < CaGeRit> | I have that effect on some people. |
| 15:24 | <~Noah> | Wait, I thought it was Ced that was all about poop |

| 15:45 | <@Ceddobear> | And you got Hakama pants. |
| 15:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Now go figure that out. |
| 15:45 | < afny> | and linked a picture of that handsome man |
| 15:45 | <@Ceddobear> | His stick is the law. |
| 15:45 | <~Noah> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakama |
| 15:45 | < afny> | It's a bokuto. |
| 15:47 | <~Noah> | get educated son |
| 15:52 | < afny> | Ced |
| 15:52 | < afny> | I have 26 frames |
| 15:52 | < afny> | 3 companies and two spares |
| 15:52 | < afny> | i'm gonna sort all my tablescraps |
| 15:52 | < afny> | if I have enough bar plates left |
| 15:52 | < afny> | I will use said tablescraps to make |
| 15:52 | < afny> | DA RED ONE. |
| 15:52 | <@Ceddobear> | YES. |
| 15:52 | <@Ceddobear> | YES DO IT. |
| 15:53 | < afny> | then I have to make that hyrdoponics station |
| 15:53 | < afny> | and some other stations |
| 15:53 | < afny> | I keep AVOIDING it |
| 15:53 | < CaGeRit> | Here's the trick to ending procrastination. |
| 15:54 | < CaGeRit> | Every time you put somthing off go sit in a wooden chair. Get a ball peen hammer and whack yourself in the testicles. As long as you stay true to this program you will see a dramatic decrease in any procrastination. |
| 15:54 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/japchub_company.png |
| 15:54 | < afny> | is it really procrastination if it's a leisure activity in the first place |
| 15:55 | < CaGeRit> | Does the ball peen hammer care? |
| 15:55 | < afny> | I like the gold circles |
| 15:55 | < CaGeRit> | Also, I like these frames, they sort of remind me of the first fight from suckerpunch. |
| 15:58 | <@Ceddobear> | I know what you mean. |
| 15:58 | <@Ceddobear> | Those three massive demons. |
| 15:59 | < Mantisking> | God, I just had a craving to buy dice. |
| 16:00 | < CaGeRit> | Maybe you should have that looked at. |
| 16:01 | < CaGeRit> | I guess its ok as long as you don't melt them down in a spoon and inject yourself with the melted plastic. |
| 16:01 | < CaGeRit> | That would hurt. |
| 16:01 | < CaGeRit> | And probably kill you. |
| 16:01 | <@Ceddobear> | Probably, yeah. |
| 16:01 | <@Ceddobear> | Unless you are from Vermont. |
| 16:01 | <@Ceddobear> | THere you should be used to have your arteries clogged. |
| 16:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Alright. Smokebreak. |
| 16:02 | < CaGeRit> | From the poutine? |
| 16:03 | < CaGeRit> | I hate exceeding my hobby budget per month and having stuff I want to buy, but have to wait till next month. |
| 16:04 | < CaGeRit> | Any way I'm off I have to go to outside land and shrug off my corpse tan. |
| 16:04 | < CaGeRit> | Cya in a bit. |
| 16:06 | <~Noah> | CaGeRit: What's your monthly budget if you don't mind me being a tool? |
| 16:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, I am the same way. |
| 16:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Waiting for another week. |
| 16:07 | <@Ceddobear> | And then, the Ijadchubs. :D |
| 16:09 | < afny> | Hm |
| 16:09 | < afny> | I think I might have the bits to make |
| 16:09 | < afny> | a three frame company |
| 16:09 | < afny> | might redo the mafia as a three frame defender |
| 16:09 | < afny> | for my demo set |
| 16:10 | < afny> | or maybe a different company all together |
| 16:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh. |
| 16:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Do the black guy. |
| 16:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Two browns. |
| 16:12 | <@Ceddobear> | And 5 goons. |
| 16:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Total family. |
| 16:12 | < afny> | don't have the parts |
| 16:12 | < CaGeRit> | Interesting time to come back to "do the black guy" |
| 16:12 | < afny> | heh |
| 16:12 | < afny> | but I just want to do three anyway |
| 16:12 | < afny> | i'm gonna get a good 3 way demo set up |
| 16:13 | < afny> | six stations |
| 16:13 | < afny> | I have...three |
| 16:13 | < afny> | need two more cool ones and another generic |
| 16:13 | < CaGeRit> | @noah its fine, I have a leisure budget which goes towards hobby stuff/eating out/entertainment/movies ect. Its 10% of my monthly income. |
| 16:13 | <~Noah> | Ahh |
| 16:14 | <~Noah> | I was thinking you could times it by 12, then divide by 52, and spend that weekly |
| 16:14 | < CaGeRit> | I'm not paid on salary so I can't predict it that well. |
| 16:16 | < Mantisking> | So how tall are the samurai compared to a standard Chub? |
| 16:16 | < CaGeRit> | Some weeks are good weeks and I end up with 650-800 take home. Some weeks are crappy/rainy/that-one-time-where-that-dude-downloaded-porn-at-work-and-brought-d own-their-entire-system-for-5-days-and-half-of-our-loads-disapeared. |
| 16:16 | < CaGeRit> | And I don't make as much. |
| 16:17 | <@Ceddobear> | MK: Like all Superchubs, 9 bricks tall. |
| 16:18 | <@Ceddobear> | That's head height, obvy. Not counting the flags. |
| 16:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Cage: The plight of hourly payment, eh? |
| 16:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Could be good weeks, could be nothing. :( |
| 16:18 | < CaGeRit> | Paid by the load. |
| 16:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Or that. |
| 16:19 | < CaGeRit> | 28.somhing% IIRC |
| 16:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Great loads are computers, then? :D |
| 16:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Or platinum. |
| 16:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Or donor organs. |
| 16:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm, donor organs. |
| 16:19 | < CaGeRit> | At least my company has a weekly minimum, if you don't make as much they will give you 400 a week (339 after taxes). |
| 16:19 | < CaGeRit> | It sucks, but you can live on it. |
| 16:20 | <@Ceddobear> | MK: The normal Chub is 7 bricks - so the Superchub adds 2 bricks in height. |
| 16:20 | < CaGeRit> | Nope, its all cement. Good weeks mean more loads. |
| 16:20 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: Oh, gotcha. |
| 16:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Cement is heavy. D: |
| 16:20 | <@Ceddobear> | And, if I am not mistaken, the lime ain't to great for the skin, too. |

| 16:21 | <@Ceddobear> | Issat your girl? |
| 16:21 | < CaGeRit> | Nah, thats just a sketch of what my rig might look like if my rig looked like that |
| 16:21 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. |
| 16:22 | <@Ceddobear> | But you have a Peterbuilt (sp?) engine? |
| 16:22 | < CaGeRit> | They got us riding in internationals |
| 16:22 | <@Ceddobear> | See, over here in Germany, we have max length/max height values, so our engines are stubby. |
| 16:22 | < CaGeRit> | 9200i |
| 16:22 | < CaGeRit> | I'm jsut shocked how cheap cement is if you buy it in bulk. |
| 16:23 | <@Ceddobear> | http://studio-berlin.de/images/ue6.jpg <--- There. |
| 16:23 | <@Ceddobear> | Those ?6's are built to max spec. |
| 16:23 | <@Ceddobear> | http://studio-berlin.de/images/ue_wm.jpg |
| 16:23 | < CaGeRit> | One full 40 ton truck (26 tons of cement) is only like $300-400 american. |
| 16:23 | <@Ceddobear> | What. |
| 16:23 | <@Ceddobear> | Like, a full truck load? |
| 16:24 | < CaGeRit> | I know right. |
| 16:24 | < CaGeRit> | Yes. |
| 16:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Dafuq? O_o |
| 16:24 | <@Ceddobear> | That's a lot of cement. |
| 16:24 | < CaGeRit> | If you were to go to a hardware store it would be like $15 for only 20 pounds or so. |
| 16:25 | < CaGeRit> | So you have total truck lengths still? I think we ditched that back in the 60-70s for trailer length limits. |
| 16:25 | <~Noah> | Depending on your project, it can be cheaper to have it made by another company and delivered and poured |
| 16:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, if you go longer, the roads aren't built for it anymore. |
| 16:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Hauling those trucks around is already a bitch. :D |
| 16:26 | < CaGeRit> | I know the feeling. |
| 16:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Remember, Europe has way more winding roads. |
| 16:26 | < CaGeRit> | I've had some tight squeezes in the city of norfolk. |
| 16:27 | <@Ceddobear> | And especially in cities, shit's crazy with round abouts, on/off ramps and such. |
| 16:28 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, European roads are not the same as American ones. |
| 16:28 | < CaGeRit> | Imagine trying to do that in this http://www.flickr.com/photos/45071053@N05/5557115010/in/faves-46978588@N04/light box/ |
| 16:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Hah! |
| 16:29 | <@Ceddobear> | No fucking dice. |
| 16:30 | < Mantisking> | Can you imagine a frame done up like that truck? |
| 16:30 | <@Ceddobear> | First of all, 80kph speed limit on the highway, stat. |
| 16:30 | < Mantisking> | All Orange and Chrome. |
| 16:30 | < afny> | hm |
| 16:30 | < afny> | I can do that. |
| 16:30 | <@Ceddobear> | And then, enjoy highway offramps of anything but a major city. You would fail so hard. :D |
| 16:30 | < afny> | gimme about 30 minutes mantis |
| 16:30 | <~Noah> | That's almost 50mph, wow!~ |
| 16:31 | < Mantisking> | Cool. Can't wait to see it. |
| 16:31 | < CaGeRit> | There are a lot of pretty trucks in that flickr, lots of good frame color inspiration. |
| 16:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Noah: It's unlimited for anyone else. :D |
| 16:31 | < CaGeRit> | Anyway corpse tan begone time, cya in a bit. |
| 16:32 | <@Ceddobear> | I think coaches get a 100kph limit. |

| 19:27 | <+CaGeRit> | That answer your mom is CORRECT!! |
| 19:27 | <@Ceddobear> | Not at all. |
| 19:27 | <~Noah> | See, it's funny, because on the wiki it says elephant |
| 19:27 | <+CaGeRit> | WEll I suppose your mom is really fat then. |
| 19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Hey, the people from the dollar store called, Cage. |
| 19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Your mom's standing out front, yelling she's cheaper. |
| 19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | This could VERY WELL go on for hours. |

| 19:31 | <~Noah> | Ced's favorite bedtime story: http://goo.gl/MoRWU |
| 19:32 | <+CaGeRit> | That book has some serious credibility issues. I have never seen an apple poop. |
| 19:33 | <~Noah> | Where do you think apple sauce comes from? |
| 19:33 | <+CaGeRit> | The same place people sauce comes from. |
| 19:33 | <+CaGeRit> | Underneath the tires of my truck. |
| 19:33 | <+CaGeRit> | <-- just relized how horrible people sauce sounds. |
| 19:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Road sauce. |
| 19:35 | <@Ceddobear> | You think: "Balls, my paint job." |
| 19:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Billy-Bob Joe and Mary-Ann Sue think: "LUNCH!" |
| 19:35 | <+CaGeRit> | I think I have an uncle who used to make road kill stew. |
| 19:36 | <+CaGeRit> | He believed in a no waste society. |
| 19:36 | <+CaGeRit> | I saw the trailer for planetside 2 yesterday. I want it. |
| 19:36 | <@Ceddobear> | He played Fallout 3 and found the world limiting. |
| 19:36 | <~Noah> | That's actually popular around these parts |

| 19:38 | <+CaGeRit> | I'll need to get my rig out the attic and upgrade the shit out of it. |
| 19:44 | <@Ceddobear> | It's F2P, eh? |
| 19:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Won't hurt to try it. |

| 19:45 | <+CaGeRit> | I just dislike pc gaming, I have a decent rig I jsut hate having to chase down each and every compatibility problem when I put new stuff in it. |
| 19:45 | <+CaGeRit> | Or when I install somthing. |
| 19:45 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | Hello, all. |
| 19:45 | <+CaGeRit> | Or when it decides to break without telling me. |
| 19:45 | <+CaGeRit> | I like to sit on my couch hit my xboxes power button and jsut....go |
| 19:45 | <+CaGeRit> | Its beautiful. |
| 19:45 | <~Noah> | laptops and casual games ftw!~ |
| 19:46 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I'm the same with pc games. |
| 19:46 | <+CaGeRit> | I just wish planet side 2 would come out on consoles. |
| 19:47 | <+CaGeRit> | Though I would probably have to buy a playstation which would break my embargo of sony products. |
| 19:49 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I got a PS3 years ago, just to use it primarily as a bluray player. |
| 19:49 | <+CaGeRit> | Hmm. Listening to The Cure, One More Time. All I can think is. " You're a grown ass man, stop asking me to lift you up". |
| 19:49 | <+CaGeRit> | lol |
| 19:49 | <+CaGeRit> | Is it really that bad? |
| 19:50 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | It was the best option price wise at the time. |
| 19:51 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | But now I mostly just get psn games that are PlayStation exclusive. |
| 19:51 | <+CaGeRit> | I had a psp and after watching sony's total incompetitance with it I just lost any faith in any system they promote. |
| 19:52 | <~Noah> | ^ |
| 19:52 | <+CaGeRit> | And I like the Xbox controllers better. |
| 19:52 | <~Noah> | Plus the xbox controllers are easily used on a PC |
| 19:52 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I like their network better too |
| 19:53 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | Which is weird, since Sony's are bluetooth |
| 19:54 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I had it with Sony during the ps2. |
| 19:54 | <+CaGeRit> | By network you mean the Xbox live or playstation network? |
| 19:54 | <+CaGeRit> | Or the wireles controlers |
| 19:54 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | After dealing with rep while working at GameStop. |
| 19:55 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | XBLN is what I meant. |
| 19:55 | <+CaGeRit> | Ahh. |
| 19:56 | <+CaGeRit> | I don't really know much about PSN |
| 19:56 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | But, I'm a Nintendo fan boy at heart. |
| 19:56 | <+CaGeRit> | I like nintendo too, they jsut don't do the kill everything type games that help relieve my stress. |
| 19:57 | <+CaGeRit> | After work, |
| 19:57 | <@Ceddobear> | FF: MAG was pretty cool from what I saw. |
| 19:57 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I liked it. Never bought it though. Just played the demo |
| 19:58 | <+CaGeRit> | I just would like to know, is the Wii U a new controller or a new console? |
| 19:59 | <+CaGeRit> | It confuses me greatly. |
| 19:59 | <+afny> | both |
| 19:59 | <+CaGeRit> | So itsthe controller to a new console? |
| 19:59 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | I'm passed because it's only one per system. |
| 20:00 | <+CaGeRit> | my brain hurts. |
| 20:00 | <+CaGeRit> | Nintendo why do you have to be so confuzzling. |
| 20:01 | <+CaGeRit> | Will I have to buy a new wii to use the wii U or will my old one support it? |
| 20:02 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | But, they are promising more mature games. |
| 20:02 | <@Ceddobear> | So I ended up listening to the Russian national anthem. |
| 20:03 | <+CaGeRit> | Was it inspirational? |
| 20:03 | <@Ceddobear> | I saluted comrade Lenin. |
| 20:03 | <+CaGeRit> | Commie bastard. |
| 20:03 | <@Ceddobear> | And my rommie was debating making it his wake-up music. |
| 20:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Let me quote Einstein upon his anti-communist screenie questioning when he migrated into the USA. |
| 20:04 | <@Ceddobear> | "I don't think so." |
| 20:04 | <@Ceddobear> | *screening |

| 20:04 | <@Ceddobear> | "DO YOU KNOW COMMIES?!" - "I don't think so." |

| 20:05 | <@Ceddobear> | It's from Australia. |
| 20:05 | <+CaGeRit> | Spiderbait is awesome |
| 20:05 | <+CaGeRit> | I have one oftheir cds |
| 20:05 | <+CaGeRit> | The one with their version of black betty. |
| 20:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh, yeah. |
| 20:06 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7_9qivK_Ew <-- *nods head* |
| 20:06 | <+CaGeRit> | Also If you skip to 2:29 on mine it's pure deathmetal extacy. |
| 20:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Here's the funny thing. |
| 20:07 | <@Ceddobear> | I rarely listen to Death Metal. |
| 20:07 | <@Ceddobear> | BUt I can growl. |
| 20:07 | <+CaGeRit> | Yea, some people can do it, some can't/ |
| 20:07 | <@Ceddobear> | When I push it, it sounds like I speak with two or three voices. |
| 20:08 | <@Ceddobear> | Growled some backup stuff on a friends album, before I moved back to Germany. |
| 20:08 | <+CaGeRit> | I can sort of too. I just use it to scare small children who talk in the movie theatre. |
| 20:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, there's something cool about whispergrowling "I will desecrate your corpse" into someone's ear. |
| 20:09 | <+CaGeRit> | lol |
| 20:09 | <+CaGeRit> | Then the police show up at your house at 3 am and the joke wears off |

| 20:19 | <+afny> | but it looks sweet |
| 20:19 | <+CaGeRit> | I didn't know those existed. |
| 20:19 | <+FerrelFerret> | I heard about it on Extra Credit |
| 20:19 | <+FerrelFerret> | I so want to play it |

| 20:21 | <+afny> | I'd want Helm, and I'd do a really bad russian accent |

| 20:21 | <+FerrelFerret> | nuclear wessels |
| 20:21 | <+afny> | NO. |
| 20:22 | <+CaGeRit> | Is it online? |
| 20:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Networked. |
| 20:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Multiplayer. |
| 20:22 | <+FerrelFerret> | It's LAN or online |
| 20:22 | | * Ceddobear would so shoto erryting. |
| 20:22 | <@Ceddobear> | *shoot |
| 20:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Cage goes: "Captain, there is an asteroid." |
| 20:22 | <+afny> | wait, wait |
| 20:22 | <+FerrelFerret> | Extra Credit said it's better LAN though |
| 20:22 | <@Ceddobear> | I go: "PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW!" |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | oh, okay, the network multiplayer just simulates the lan experience |
| 20:23 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev: "It wa inhabited." |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | I was thinking, SHIT, is it multiple LAN crews meeting eachother in network space? |
| 20:23 | <+CaGeRit> | Sir it apears that we have not died yet!! |
| 20:23 | <+FerrelFerret> | Everyone has a unique GUI |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | Imagine the cross-ship captain to captain dialogue |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | both weapon officers gearing up to open fire if talks break down |
| 20:23 | <@Ceddobear> | LOL |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | both captains are REAL PEOPLE |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | that'd be fucking sweet |
| 20:23 | <@Ceddobear> | TEABAGGINGS. |
| 20:23 | <@Ceddobear> | INTERGALACTICAL TEA BAGGINGS. |
| 20:24 | <+afny> | "Have some DECORUM, Captain." |
| 20:24 | <+FerrelFerret> | the Captians screen doesn't do anything |
| 20:24 | <@Ceddobear> | "HELM, BRING US, RUB OUR WARP NACELLES OVER THEIR BRIDGE!" |
| 20:24 | <+CaGeRit> | But the captains arn't on a terminal |
| 20:24 | <@Ceddobear> | *IN |
| 20:24 | <+afny> | there's a "main screen" the captains would use to communicate |
| 20:24 | <+FerrelFerret> | he has to ask to see weapons and such |
| 20:24 | <+afny> | obviously this would require a Webcam |
| 20:24 | <+CaGeRit> | So if one captain tea bags another captain they tea bag them IN REAL LIFE |
| 20:25 | <+afny> | sadly it looks like its mostly focused on combat |
| 20:25 | <+CaGeRit> | Do you understan the risks involved? |
| 20:25 | <+FerrelFerret> | Well, My D&D game is about to start... |
| 20:25 | <+FerrelFerret> | so I'll be in another IRC for a while. |
| 20:26 | <+CaGeRit> | As chief science officer I would have to discourage any form of tea bagging as it could result in perminant scrotal hemmoraging if the level of conciousness of the defeated captain was misjudged. |
| 20:26 | <@Ceddobear> | I can shoot him AGAIN. |
| 20:26 | <@Ceddobear> | I got you COVERED. |
| 20:26 | <@Ceddobear> | With PHASERS. |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | bridge to bridge phasers |

| 20:55 | <+afny> | very future gothic |
| 20:55 | <@Ceddobear> | You know what I hate about such elements? |
| 20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | SOMEONE'S GONNA SHOOT IT. |
| 20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | After our game here, I just took the chairpad, bent it and poured the entire battlefield into a box. |
| 20:56 | < Mantisking> | It's Lego, it can be rebuilt. |
| 20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | Now there's the carcasses of a dozen 'frames and lotsa covers. |
| 20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe I put that back together over the week. :D |
| 20:57 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, cleaning up after the demo games was a little taxing. |
| 20:58 | <+afny> | gotta have a system |
| 20:58 | <+afny> | that's another reason I like big modular systems on frames |
| 20:59 | < Mantisking> | So this is the incomplete version of the FLW Building. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/7075583911/in/photostream |
| 20:59 | <+afny> | if you make it so your frames never break into more than six parts to show damage, they're super easy to put back together when the battle is done. Cover is trickier, obviously. |
| 20:59 | <+MittenNinja> | exactly afny |
| 20:59 | < Mantisking> | I'm editing the pictures of the complete version now. |
| 20:59 | <+MittenNinja> | nice |
| 21:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev: But ... how you destroy 'frames? |
| 21:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Danni and I shoot them with my Nerf gun. |
| 21:00 | <@Ceddobear> | If they survive, we crush them in our hands. |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | with a base chub |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | 3-4 modular systems |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | take off an arm for the first white die |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | take off the head or chest slope for the second and knock it over |
| 21:01 | < Mantisking> | Break it in two at the waist. |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | no more than six parts, and honestly it looks a little more like "realistic" battlefield destruction. |
| 21:01 | <+afny> | Yeah, that's a good one too, Mantis |
| 21:02 | <+afny> | you're not going to take the time to dismantle the enemy's mechs into itty bits. You're going to make sure it's not moving anymore, then you're going to get on shooting the rest. |
| 21:03 | < Mantisking> | Goddammit. I hate when you notice little tiny things that aren't secured properly when you're editing pictures. |

| 21:13 | < carbonbass> | Howdy |
| 21:13 | <@Ceddobear> | I am apologetic for our failure, my lord. We have disappointed you earlier. |

| 21:14 | < carbonbass> | Oh I was like half asleep earlier, kept forgetting I had opened up the chat |
| 21:14 | <@Ceddobear> | [19:45:17] <Carbonbass> I thought I would want to do it with tan armor bits, but now that i have it in front of me I'm not digging it as much as the dark red. |

| 21:14 | <+CaGeRit> | wait what |
| 21:14 | <+CaGeRit> | How do you join me |
| 21:14 | < Mantisking> | He's copying from the log. |
| 21:15 | <@Ceddobear> | <+CaGeRit> How do you join me <--- *smirk* |
| 21:15 | <+MittenNinja> | nice MK |
| 21:15 | <~Noah> | <Ced23Ric> Hur hur, poop. |
| 21:15 | <@Ceddobear> | <~Noah> I like fetus salad. |
| 21:15 | <+CaGeRit> | We didn't fail him ced, he failed us. |
| 21:15 | <~Noah> | How else am I gonna get enough stem cells to get my gallbladder back? |
| 21:15 | <+CaGeRit> | You could, you know just drink less. |
| 21:16 | <~Noah> | Gallbladder, not liver |
| 21:16 | <+CaGeRit> | Whts the gall bladder for? |
| 21:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Encymes. |
| 21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Enzymes? |
| 21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Anyway. |
| 21:17 | <~Noah> | Proper digestion of fats predominately |
| 21:19 | < carbonbass> | Why is getting people interested in MF0 hard? It isn't terribly expensive even if you don't own lego beforehand (compared to GW stuff), whatever you buy you can use ten thousand times over for different things, and the rules are great. Yet I can't get anything going. I fail at promoting. |
| 21:20 | <@Ceddobear> | CB: I showed some of my stuff to someone. |
| 21:20 | <@Ceddobear> | The reaction was: "Looks like kindergarden." |
| 21:20 | <@Ceddobear> | And I looked at the pictures I chose. |
| 21:20 | < Mantisking> | Really? |
| 21:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Lemme find them. |

| 21:22 | < carbonbass> | That person just needs to go fall into a toilet or something. |
| 21:23 | <+MittenNinja> | i didint have any trouble getting people interested at con |
| 21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, at Con. |
| 21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | You know who I talked to? |
| 21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | ... a Wargamer of ~10 years. |
| 21:24 | < Mantisking> | You shoulda shown 'em Commander So&So's photos and said, "No, this is kindergarden." |
| 21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Commander5768703w649567485903796? :D |
| 21:24 | <+MittenNinja> | you wont win over hardcore wargamers with the visuals |
| 21:24 | <+MittenNinja> | you win them over with the gameplay |
| 21:25 | <@Ceddobear> | That specific one wouldn't even want to play. |
| 21:25 | <+MittenNinja> | tell hiim he can use his warhammer minis |
| 21:25 | <@Ceddobear> | "Meh, looks like kindergarden, I'm not playing that." |
| 21:25 | <+MittenNinja> | eh, his loss |
| 21:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Her. |
| 21:25 | <@Ceddobear> | But yeah. |
| 21:26 | <+MittenNinja> | tell him he can acutally play a game of this in under 8 hours |
| 21:26 | < carbonbass> | I just need one good convert so I can get some gameplay going. Working on trawling through my massive brick tub for all the bits of Fort Legorado |
| 21:26 | <+MittenNinja> | go to a local con |
| 21:27 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, it's hard to resist the siren call of Lego when all the pieces are on the table and dice are rolling. |
| 21:27 | <+MittenNinja> | there were people just satnading and watching us play |
| 21:28 | < carbonbass> | I'm really hoping the lgs I go to has one of their Mini-Cons soon. Those are great for getting interest going at the store. |
| 21:28 | <+MittenNinja> | for sure |
| 21:28 | <+MittenNinja> | im going to hit up a local game store tomorrow |
| 21:29 | <+MittenNinja> | theres a group of infinity gamers that play on mondays |
| 21:29 | <+MittenNinja> | i think this game would call to them |
| 21:29 | <~Noah> | I checked at our minitures store in the mall, apparently the store owner has heard of the game from the friend |
| 21:30 | <+MittenNinja> | nice |
| 21:32 | < Mantisking> | Cool. |
| 21:32 | <+CaGeRit> | Ok we have australians here now right? |
| 21:33 | < Mantisking> | Another building. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/7434920244/in/photostream |
| 21:35 | <@Ceddobear> | "a local con" - Things we don't do here: Cons. |
| 21:36 | <@Ceddobear> | And I live in Berlin. |
| 21:36 | <@Ceddobear> | We have THREE Games Workshops in the city. |
| 21:36 | < carbonbass> | Ohhh, I actually have bits to build that |
| 21:36 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, I want to build a cityscape. |
| 21:36 | <@Ceddobear> | A to-scale row of buildings. |
| 21:36 | <@Ceddobear> | And have urban warfare. |
| 21:37 | < carbonbass> | all destructible like... me guesta |
| 21:37 | < Mantisking> | I have {* counts *} six houses and a bunch of other buildings. |
| 21:38 | < carbonbass> | The nearest GW is roughly 300 miles away from me, east cost US. I've never really understood the idea of a gaming shop that you can only play one brand of games in. It baffles me. |
| 21:38 | <@Ceddobear> | It's company philosophy. |
| 21:39 | <~Noah> | It's like an Apple Store |
| 21:39 | < carbonbass> | Very true |
| 21:42 | <+MittenNinja> | Then go starta con |
| 21:42 | <+MittenNinja> | BE THE FIRST |
| 21:42 | <+MittenNinja> | youll be huge |
| 21:43 | <@Ceddobear> | THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT MY WEIGHT, ASSHOLE. |
| 21:43 | <+MittenNinja> | NO PROBLEM |
| 21:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Well. |
| 21:43 | <@Ceddobear> | I need some good terrain. |
| 21:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Like, good looking terrain. |
| 21:44 | <@Ceddobear> | And then, I will take the Serpents, 13th Guard, Jackrabbits and the to-be-built Ijad Hybrids ... and hit a LGS. |
| 21:44 | < carbonbass> | Just remember to put a movie theater in there, with James and the Giant Peach playing. |
| 21:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. |
| 21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | I'm actually thinking of something more desolate. |
| 21:45 | < carbonbass> | Ahh yes, Detriot. |
| 21:45 | < Mantisking> | As long as it's more than random walls. |
| 21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | It will be. :D |
| 21:45 | <+MittenNinja> | i pretty much just had walls |
| 21:46 | < Mantisking> | I had just BURPS for the longest time. |
| 21:46 | <+MittenNinja> | you might want to get that checked |
| 21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | Bring Ur Random Pieces of Shit? D: |
| 21:46 | < Mantisking> | Big Ugly Rock Pieces. |
| 21:46 | < carbonbass> | but random walls are so nice and easy. That's all I've been building until I can get some better stuff. One day I'll order a metric shit ton of those 1X2 bricks with the brick&mortar thing on them. |
| 21:47 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. :| |
| 21:47 | <@Ceddobear> | *:D |
| 21:47 | <+MittenNinja> | yeha |
| 21:47 | <+MittenNinja> | random walls are nice |
| 21:47 | <+MittenNinja> | wuick and simple |
| 21:47 | <+MittenNinja> | wasy to put back together |
| 21:47 | <+MittenNinja> | great for demos |
| 21:47 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 21:47 | < Mantisking> | But I loved the way my village looked at PAX East. |
| 21:48 | <+MittenNinja> | true |
| 21:48 | <+MittenNinja> | but how long did it take to put back together after a game where it got tore up |
| 21:49 | < Mantisking> | Actually, we didn't really bother damaging terrain. Except in a few occasions. |
| 21:49 | <+MittenNinja> | ah |
| 21:49 | <@Ceddobear> | In our games ... we shoot it up like it's free. |
| 21:49 | <+MittenNinja> | the damaging terrain is what pulled so many people in at the comic con |
| 21:49 | <@Ceddobear> | We had four occasions were we shot terrain, instead of 'frames. |
| 21:49 | <@Ceddobear> | It's actually ingenious. |
| 21:49 | <+MittenNinja> | "I'm going to chew through the cover to get to you" |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Hear me out on this one. |
| 21:50 | <+MittenNinja> | oh it is |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | 'Frame A is in cover. |
| 21:50 | <+MittenNinja> | especially in coordinated attacks |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | B goes, obLIBERATES the cover and THEN spots A. |
| 21:50 | < carbonbass> | It's like BF: Bad Company 2. You just tore the buildings apart because it was fun, and then sometimes useful. |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | C goes, fires the SPOTTED A who is not activated yet. |
| 21:50 | < carbonbass> | I miss BC2 |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | ANd has no more cover. :) |
| 21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | It's a very crushing move to pull. |
| 21:51 | <@Ceddobear> | And it makes sense tactically, too. |
| 21:52 | < Mantisking> | I have no disagreements with it. I was just moving fast and trying to explain the game to a number of people quickly. |
| 21:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, no worries. :) |
| 21:53 | | * Ceddobear sees an engine an crunches numbers. |
| 21:53 | < Mantisking> | Man, it's almost 5:00pm here and I haven't set foot outside of the house yet. |
| 21:53 | <+MittenNinja> | I've found its easier to explain the game by walking through an exchange of fire bewtween three franes |
| 21:53 | <+MittenNinja> | Frame A activates attacking B |
| 21:53 | <+MittenNinja> | B counterattacks |
| 21:53 | <+MittenNinja> | A spots B |
| 21:53 | < carbonbass> | You say that like it's a bad thing Mantis |
| 21:53 | <+MittenNinja> | Frame C attacks B using the spot |
| 21:53 | < Mantisking> | I slapped dice into people's hands and said, "Go!" |
| 21:54 | <+MittenNinja> | after that i set up a game and they go |
| 21:54 | <+MittenNinja> | then they almost mever have to ask any questions and can usually finish the game without my help |
| 21:55 | < Mantisking> | The third game we had I stepped out after the first turn and mainly answered minor questions and talked to people watching. |
| 21:57 | <+MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 21:58 | < Mantisking> | That was such a crazy day. |
| 21:59 | < Mantisking> | One of the guys from the demo games actually posts on the Hangar now. |

| 22:02 | <+MittenNinja> | nice |
| 22:05 | < carbonbass> | After I get my Hellion company built, I have this weird urge to make a company of non-Frame armored vehicles like Tanks. Each would get a max of two systems. |
| 22:06 | < Mantisking> | Nice, MN. |

| 22:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Also, why tanks when you can have 'frames? D: |
| 22:08 | < carbonbass> | Dunno, just something different. Fluffy-wise it would be a support company for the frame team |
| 22:15 | | afny [kevinvankir@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 22:15 | < afny> | Hey Mantis/Mitten |
| 22:16 | < afny> | Can you tell us a little bit about your demo kits? |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | as far as? |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | company composition? |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | or like |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | terrain and stuff |
| 22:17 | < afny> | Uh, the number of frames and terrain |
| 22:17 | < afny> | less the actual dice builds |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | Rattler Division (Starting Initiative: 24) Fat Snake Grunts x2 (2d6Rd, 2d6Rh, 1d6B, 1d6G, 1xSSR) Fat Snake Snipers x2 (2d6+d8Ra, 1d6B, 1d6G) Fat Snake Scout x1 (2d6Rh, 1d6B, 2d6Y, 1d8G) Fat Snake Knight x1 (2d6+d8Rh, 2d6B, 1d8G) Pit Vipers (Starting Initiative: 28) Iguana Grunts x2 (2d6+d8Rd, 1d6B, 1d6G) Iguana Longbow x1 (2d6Ra, 2d6Rd, 2d6Y) Heavy Assault Chub x1 (2d6+d8Rd, 2d6B) Fat Snake Blitzer x1 (2d6+d8Rh, 2d6Y, 1d8G, 2xSSR) 31s |
| 22:17 | < afny> | trying to figure out the AMOUNT of stuff I'll need to lug |
| 22:17 | <+MittenNinja> | oih |
| 22:17 | < Mantisking> | I had three teams in small boxes, packed into a larger box with all my terrain and dice. |
| 22:17 | < afny> | how many frames on each team? |
| 22:18 | <+MittenNinja> | 5, 5, and 6 |
| 22:18 | <+MittenNinja> | althoguh |
| 22:18 | <+MittenNinja> | you could easily go smaller than that |
| 22:18 | <+MittenNinja> | and in hindsight |
| 22:18 | <+MittenNinja> | i probably would have |
| 22:18 | < afny> | Josh's is apparently 3/4/5 so that's what I've been thinking |
| 22:18 | < Mantisking> | I had 4, 5, and 8. |
| 22:18 | < afny> | so yours was a battle? |
| 22:18 | < Mantisking> | The box is 14" x 10" x 8" |
| 22:18 | < afny> | or did you not field all 8 frames for the third team? |
| 22:19 | < Mantisking> | I had all eight on the table. The rules for skirmish/battle hadn't ben posted at that point. |
| 22:19 | < afny> | Ah, okay |
| 22:20 | < afny> | was the box pretty packed with cover |
| 22:20 | < afny> | and did you feel like you should |
| 22:20 | < afny> | v |
| 22:20 | <+MittenNinja> | i had one large PAB cup filled wiht tan pallisade bricks for walls |
| 22:20 | < afny> | +should've had more or less cover |
| 22:20 | <+MittenNinja> | and a handful of these http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30562 |
| 22:20 | <+MittenNinja> | that was plenty of cover |
| 22:20 | <+MittenNinja> | and then stations |
| 22:21 | < afny> | Okay, I've got about half a PAB full of tan and blue bricks to use for that, I'll pull some white and grey bricks to make up the lack |
| 22:21 | <+MittenNinja> | but yeah |
| 22:21 | <+MittenNinja> | 3,4,5 would be better suited for demoing |
| 22:21 | < afny> | how long did your game take? |
| 22:21 | <+MittenNinja> | about 1 1/2 hours to 2 for a full game |
| 22:22 | < afny> | actually way shorter than I would've thought |
| 22:22 | <+MittenNinja> | i ended up doing little skirmishes to with people that didn't/couldnt stay for a full game |
| 22:23 | < Mantisking> | I was happy with the amount of cover I had, and the box was packed as I had a couple of PaB cups with vegetation parts in them and microoscale cars. |
| 22:24 | < Mantisking> | I think we ran five games between 10am and 6pm. |
| 22:25 | < afny> | I'm probably aiming for something a little smaller scale |
| 22:25 | < afny> | at a games shop as opposed to a con |
| 22:26 | <+MittenNinja> | yeah for sure |
| 22:27 | < afny> | right now I'm trying to come up with a really sweet 3 or 4 frame company for the defenders |
| 22:27 | < afny> | I'm thinking 5 frames for a UMFL regiment, all Chub outlines |
| 22:27 | < afny> | 4 of my little slope head guys |
| 22:27 | < afny> | so each of those companies will have a distinct outline |
| 22:27 | < afny> | v |
| 22:27 | < afny> | +ery easy to tell apart |
| 22:27 | <+MittenNinja> | thatd work |
| 22:28 | < afny> | and then something badass for the defenders |
| 22:29 | < Mantisking> | All three of my teams looked very different. So I agree with your idea. |
| 22:32 | < Mantisking> | Man, Blogspot can be annoying sometimes. |
| 22:43 | < afny> | hurrr |
| 22:43 | < afny> | I think I might break down my FC company |
| 22:43 | < carbonbass> | Which ones are they? |
| 22:43 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/sets/72157630004289223/ |
| 22:44 | < carbonbass> | What do you think you'll make out of them? |
| 22:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Keep the guns. |
| 22:45 | < afny> | Not sure yet carbon |
| 22:45 | < afny> | another FC company |
| 22:45 | < afny> | but something different |
| 22:45 | <@Ceddobear> | The Y on the sniper is great. |
| 22:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Keep that element. |
| 22:45 | < afny> | the wut |

| 22:47 | < afny> | oh |
| 22:48 | < afny> | well I dunno if the new company will have any conscripts |
| 22:48 | <@Ceddobear> | I don't care. |
| 22:48 | < afny> | I'm not doing it yet anyway |
| 22:48 | <@Ceddobear> | Just the black part. |
| 22:48 | < afny> | gonna build this 3-4 company |

| 23:04 | <+Tetrajak> | So, Ced, you were worried about the inability of claws to grip very tightly, and the weight of the Venus being posed on a claw at the body-to-hip joint? |
| 23:04 | <+Tetrajak> | I have a solution |
| 23:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Hit me like a truck at 80mph hits a deer. |

| 23:05 | <+Tetrajak> | wb MK |
| 23:05 | <+Tetrajak> | the tile w/clip that is on the hips, on the outside of said hips, can be angled to meet the 2x2 round tile on the side of the body |
| 23:06 | <+Tetrajak> | this creates support for the weight of the body on the claw |
| 23:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, I get that. |
| 23:06 | <+Tetrajak> | and it is stablee when it stands |
| 23:06 | <+Tetrajak> | -e |
| 23:06 | <@Ceddobear> | My worries are related to a diff problem. |
| 23:06 | <+Tetrajak> | which is? |
| 23:06 | <@Ceddobear> | The MINX uses claws to 1x2 plates with bars at the short ends. |
| 23:07 | <@Ceddobear> | And has REALLY HEAVY arms. |

| 23:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Lemme look. |
| 23:10 | <+Tetrajak> | *searches Ced's photostream* |

| 23:10 | <@Ceddobear> | THere. |
| 23:12 | <+Tetrajak> | so are we talking about the joint from the shoulder to the arm, or the shoulder to the body? |
| 23:15 | <+CaGeRit> | And I'm back |
| 23:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Arms to shoulder. |
| 23:15 | | Whitewolf [a@Nightstar-33034c8d.superkabel.de] has left #mf0 [] |
| 23:15 | <@randolph> | hey guys |
| 23:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Where the dgrey claw is. |
| 23:15 | | MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-eca6a0cb.co.comcast.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 23:16 | <+Tetrajak> | Ced: surely you can just replace that with a tile w/ clip |
| 23:16 | <@Ceddobear> | ... I did. |
| 23:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Is what I was saying. |
| 23:17 | <@Ceddobear> | :D |
| 23:17 | <+Tetrajak> | ok then XD |
| 23:17 | <@Ceddobear> | ;) |
| 23:17 | <+Tetrajak> | never mind me |
| 23:18 | | CaGeRit [x@Nightstar-f0d9c21f.hr.cox.net] has left #mf0 ["["Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com"]"] |
| 23:19 | <+Tetrajak> | So, I never had time to get opinions on the second colour scheme |
| 23:19 | <+Tetrajak> | what do you all think? |
| 23:20 | <+Tetrajak> | link for ref; http://s1.bild.me/bilder/160512/9863084Dyson_-_Venus_-_Colour2.png |
| 23:21 | < carbonbass> | I like it. |
| 23:22 | <+Tetrajak> | glad to hear it :D |
| 23:23 | < carbonbass> | Lime green and white look great |
| 23:24 | < Mantisking> | It looks good. |
| 23:24 | <@randolph> | (1:50:19 PM) Ceddobear: B goes, obLIBERATES the cover and THEN spots A. |
| 23:24 | <@randolph> | You mean like my SOP with my first ever sim with USF? :P |
| 23:25 | <@randolph> | oh man the backscroll |
| 23:26 | <+Tetrajak> | Thanks for the opinions on the colours guys :D |
| 23:26 | <@randolph> | TJ lemme take a look |
| 23:26 | <+Tetrajak> | randolph: here LEFT OUTER JOIN |
| 23:26 | <+Tetrajak> | oops |
| 23:26 | <+Tetrajak> | lol, SQL code paste |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | ... |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | I saw the link |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | But LEFT OUTER JOIN is good too |
| 23:27 | <+Tetrajak> | http://s1.bild.me/bilder/160512/9863084Dyson_-_Venus_-_Colour2.png |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | Nice |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | I'm not a fan of the ankle green though |
| 23:27 | <@randolph> | they look like ankle socks |
| 23:27 | <+Tetrajak> | only problem is that without green there, the shoulders look out of place |
| 23:28 | <+Tetrajak> | it becomes imbalanced |
| 23:28 | <@randolph> | not necessarily |
| 23:28 | <@randolph> | Here's what Soren showed me last night |
| 23:28 | <@randolph> | http://images.wikia.com/gundam/images/8/82/Msj06iicbtierenhighmobi.jpg |
| 23:28 | <@randolph> | Only two spots of color, but it works |
| 23:28 | <@randolph> | Besides, you've got trans light geen on the arms and thighs |
| 23:29 | <+Tetrajak> | randolph: poor example, said colour is tiny as a percentage of the overall |
| 23:29 | <+Tetrajak> | yes, trans green is there, but it's not on the feet or lower legs |
| 23:29 | <@randolph> | Well the example isn't perfect for *you*, he showed it to me for my Terracotta |
| 23:30 | <@randolph> | I'm just bringing it up because it's all I got at the moment |
| 23:30 | <+Tetrajak> | all good |
| 23:30 | <+Tetrajak> | I've tried it with white legs already |
| 23:30 | <@randolph> | anyway, I'm not going to make you do it, just telling you what breaks visual flow for me |
| 23:30 | <@randolph> | Oh, not white |
| 23:30 | <+Tetrajak> | the shoulders look really out of place |
| 23:30 | <@randolph> | definitely not white |
| 23:30 | <@randolph> | I was thinking dark bley |
| 23:31 | <@randolph> | sorry, gotta afk a bit |
| 23:31 | <+Tetrajak> | yuk |
| 23:31 | <+Tetrajak> | man, colour schemes, such a point of disagreement |
| 23:32 | < carbonbass> | Like all things everyone has their own aesthetic taste |
| 23:32 | <+Tetrajak> | Admittedly, the lower legs do look disjointed from the rest of the frame, but that is somewhat intentional |
| 23:33 | <+Tetrajak> | after all, it is meant to be both a space combat frame, and a land combat frame |
| 23:35 | <+Tetrajak> | but never mind |
| 23:35 | <+Tetrajak> | it is admittedly difficult to come up with a perfect colour scheme and build this frame with the parts I already have |
| 23:35 | <+Tetrajak> | I did, however, assort quite a few of the pieces I will need to make a company of these |
| 23:37 | < carbonbass> | I know the feeling. I don't have enough of any one color to do up a whole company |
| 23:37 | < carbonbass> | A situation that should be fixed soon with the help of Bricklink |
| 23:43 | <@randolph> | yeah, I'm not saying a particular color I've suggested will definitely work - I'd have to see it first |
| 23:44 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7430461776/ |
| 23:44 | <@randolph> | ^ A TW in the brick after cannibilizing enough parts to get a semi-consistent color scheme |
| 23:45 | <@randolph> | I don't actually *have* any of that fleshtone stuff |
| 23:46 | <+Tetrajak> | Anyway, it doesn't matter all that much |
| 23:46 | <+Tetrajak> | I've received positive feedback about the frame, this is a good thing |
| 23:47 | <@randolph> | Yeah, the frame is solid |
| 23:47 | <+Tetrajak> | and I finally have a frame on which those shoulders don't look out of place |
| 23:47 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 23:47 | < carbonbass> | Positive feedback is always great |
| 23:47 | <@randolph> | ^ did you see the bricked version TJ? |
| 23:47 | <+Tetrajak> | yup |
| 23:47 | <+Tetrajak> | it looks better than the screencap |
| 23:47 | <+Tetrajak> | not as fat |
| 23:48 | <+Tetrajak> | I'm also really pleased with how the Venus doesn't have any traditional "blocky" shapes on it |
| 23:49 | <+Tetrajak> | it lacks in rectangles and squares, for the most part |
| 23:49 | <+Tetrajak> | mostly squares |
| 23:49 | <+Tetrajak> | (that is lacks) |
| 23:49 | < carbonbass> | It's very streamlined |
| 23:50 | <+Tetrajak> | I honestly didn't think I would be able to come up with something as curved as the Venus |
| 23:50 | <+Tetrajak> | admittedly, afny showed me the way with his Aphrodite |
| 23:52 | < carbonbass> | My current frame design is a bit *cough* less than streamlined. |
| 23:52 | <@randolph> | Which one? |
| 23:53 | < carbonbass> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/78359253@N03/7429311250/ |
| 23:53 | <@randolph> | Oh those dudes |
| 23:54 | <@randolph> | It's fine, "streamlined" hasn't really been very prominent in the visual language except for Ijad stuff, and even that's varied |
| 23:55 | < carbonbass> | I want to work on something streamlined, but I lack the parts. |
| 23:55 | <@randolph> | Here's something I was looking at couple days ago |
| 23:55 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/256imageworks/7424422092/ |
| 23:56 | <@randolph> | Not utterly devoid of angles, but it's super sleek |
| 23:57 | <+Tetrajak> | Yea, 256imageworks' stuff is pretty sweet |
| 23:57 | <+Tetrajak> | also, CB; I really like how your current frame looks hunched over |
| 23:57 | < carbonbass> | I saw that last night, it's streamlined yet chunky at the same time. Quite cool looking, very different. |
| 23:57 | <+Tetrajak> | it gives it a very intent look |
| 23:57 | <@randolph> | I love that he actually *produces* the image too |
| 23:57 | <+Tetrajak> | yea, he takes time on it |
| 23:57 | <@randolph> | He doesn't just take a picture, doesn't just touch it up |
| 23:57 | <@randolph> | He makes a fucking product release |
| 23:58 | < carbonbass> | Yup |
| 23:58 | <@randolph> | That's exactly the sort of thing I want to do |
| 23:58 | <@randolph> | I need much better shots first though |
