| 00:01 | < DeathZero> | mine is a ds flash cart. |
| 00:02 | < DeathZero> | sorry, I was eating |
| 00:02 | < DeathZero> | they work the same way on the 3ds so far |
| 00:02 | < DeathZero> | as nobody has made a 3ds specific flash cart. |
| 00:02 | < afny> | oh, what |
| 00:02 | < DeathZero> | I'd love to have one that could take advantage of the 3ds's new features. |
| 00:02 | < afny> | like, I could use the same cart |
| 00:03 | < afny> | it's the same format and everything? |
| 00:03 | < DeathZero> | as long as its updated to work on the 3ds yes, but it will run in DS mode, not 3ds mode |
| 00:03 | < afny> | Oh |
| 00:03 | < afny> | so you can't run 3ds roms |
| 00:03 | < DeathZero> | Not to my knowledge. |
| 00:03 | < DeathZero> | if its possible I've not been told about it/seen it |

| 05:20 | < KarolineDianne> | Hello guys. Been a while. |
| 05:20 | < KarolineDianne> | Quick question, do registered names expire? I can't seem to register like I used to. |
| 05:23 | < afny> | Hey! |
| 05:23 | < afny> | And no idea, I registered my name in brackets and then forgot my password |
| 05:24 | < afny> | I never tried again, because I'm lazy. |
| 05:24 | | * KarolineDianne shrugs |
| 05:26 | < KarolineDianne> | So I may start playing this again. |
| 05:26 | <@randolph> | Hey KD |
| 05:26 | < afny> | You should! There's new rules |
| 05:26 | <@randolph> | Long time |
| 05:26 | < KarolineDianne> | I've got a friend I'm close to, but her fiance has been very quiet when I'm around. Turns out he loves legos. I brought this up and we didn't shut up for an hour. |
| 05:27 | < afny> | I love it when that happens |
| 05:27 | < KarolineDianne> | Now my friend's rolling her eyes at us while I steal her fiance to play with legos. |
| 05:29 | <@randolph> | haha |
| 05:29 | < KarolineDianne> | But it all works out. She and I do girly stuff. He and I do nerdy stuff. |
| 05:29 | < KarolineDianne> | And that makes me happy. :D |
| 05:30 | <@randolph> | This weird thing was at my PAB |
| 05:30 | <@randolph> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48452cx1 |
| 05:30 | < KarolineDianne> | I also got to teach a friend how to play today. Ran a tiny 3fram vs 3frame battle with no cover or stations. |
| 05:30 | <@randolph> | Cool, how'd it go? |
| 05:31 | <@randolph> | (Next time do cover, blowing up cover is one of the finest things in MFZ) |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | We didn't have any cover, especially anything destructible. I only had my Frames. |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | It went well. She kicked my ass. |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | And she had one Frame with only two systems... Who scored the only kill of the game. |
| 05:33 | <@randolph> | The *only* kill? o_O |
| 05:33 | <@randolph> | In 6 rounds? Wow |
| 05:33 | <@randolph> | Lemme guess, every frame you brought had double-blue <_< |
| 05:33 | < KarolineDianne> | I always bring double-blue. |
| 05:33 | < KarolineDianne> | But we only got to abour round 4, I think. Dinner interrupted. |
| 05:34 | <@randolph> | Well no wonder nothing died - nothing had enough firepower or spot :p |
| 05:34 | < KarolineDianne> | Though I did bring her dinky 2-system Frame down to its white dice, and my other remaining Frame was almost dead too. |
| 05:35 | <@randolph> | Cool |
| 05:35 | <@randolph> | Did she like it? |
| 05:35 | < KarolineDianne> | I had two 2d6B 2d6Rd 1d6Y Frames, and one 1d6B 2d6+1d8Rd 1d6Y frame. |
| 05:35 | < KarolineDianne> | Yeah, she had fun. |
| 05:36 | < KarolineDianne> | She had a blast making her dinky Frame (Which she called the DERP-Birdie because it was the tiniest, wimpiest one in my box) shoot stuff and outlive my commander. |
| 05:37 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 05:37 | < afny> | you should bacronym it |
| 05:37 | < KarolineDianne> | We did. |
| 05:37 | <@randolph> | Dynamic Emergency Response Patrol |
| 05:37 | < KarolineDianne> | She wanted every letter to be a bird. So... It was the Dove Emu Raven Penguin - Birdie. |
| 05:37 | < afny> | Well she CAN'T HAVE IT. |
| 05:38 | < KarolineDianne> | :O |
| 05:38 | <@randolph> | augh, looks like I need to temporarily go back to plastic baggies... the storage compartments are overflowing for some parts |
| 05:39 | < KarolineDianne> | It was actually this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/karolinedianne/7322097448/in/photostream |
| 05:40 | < KarolineDianne> | Which is a variant of my Stork design... So I guess the 'bird' theme was accurate. xD |
| 05:40 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 05:40 | <@randolph> | PEW PEW |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | With those side barplate shoulders, you could theoretically mount a lot more dakka |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | It'd be pretty funny to slap some oversized miniguns on something that small |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | Kind of like Tweety Bird pulling out a BFG |
| 05:41 | < KarolineDianne> | Maybe, but it was a 2d6Rd 1d6G Frame. And it killed my leader. |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | My condolences to their family. |
| 05:42 | < KarolineDianne> | Though, granted the bigger mech on her team did 5 damage to it in one shot, and birdie only did the killing blow... Right before being disarmed itself... But still. |
| 05:42 | < afny> | Okay, I'm done getting hip checked by dinosaurs for the night |
| 05:42 | < afny> | gonna get ready for bed |
| 05:42 | < afny> | is. |
| 05:42 | < afny> | ish* |
| 05:44 | < KarolineDianne> | So what exactly changed in the new rules? |
| 05:44 | <@randolph> | protip: don't sort trans clear cheese wedges on carpet |
| 05:44 | < KarolineDianne> | I didn't notice anything different except for more fluff sections and new drawings. |
| 05:44 | <@randolph> | KD: It looks like 3 SSRs per company regardless of skirmish/battle, for one |
| 05:45 | <@randolph> | There's an unknown-if-intentional change to damage results on cover |
| 05:45 | < KarolineDianne> | I did see that, actually. SHooting cover directly is no longer a 3+? |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | We don't know |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | J&V haven't weighed in on too many questions/corrections |
| 05:47 | < KarolineDianne> | So I heard Lego Digital Designer is like, permanently dead. Forever. Which is why I haven't been able to use it... :< |
| 05:48 | < KarolineDianne> | This makes me super-duper sadface because it's the only way I was able to fiddle with designs using parts I don't have. |
| 05:48 | < afny> | it should still work if you run it in offline mode |
| 05:48 | < KarolineDianne> | There's an offline mode? |
| 05:48 | < afny> | if I recall you have to run it once while you're not connected to the internet |
| 05:49 | < afny> | and then it'll prompt you to turn offline mode on |
| 05:49 | < KarolineDianne> | Hmmm.... Weird, I just tried it and it seems to work just fine. |
| 05:49 | < KarolineDianne> | This confuses me. |
| 05:49 | < KarolineDianne> | Because it stopped working for a LONG time... And I've heard rumors that the servers were discontinued entirely. |
| 05:51 | | * afny shrug |
| 05:51 | < afny> | I never use it |
| 05:52 | < KarolineDianne> | I've found it infinitely useful. I wouldn't have my Vulture design without it. |
| 05:53 | < KarolineDianne> | Granted, my Toad design came out of scrounging my boxes for whatever woudl work, which is great.... But I wouldn't have come up with half my stuff without LDD. |
| 05:53 | < afny> | yeah, it's nice if your collection is small |
| 05:54 | < afny> | well, okay |
| 05:54 | < afny> | it's never nice |
| 05:54 | < afny> | but it's HELPFUL when your collection is small. |
| 05:54 | < afny> | randolph |
| 05:54 | < afny> | that clip tile mace |
| 05:55 | < afny> | that's pretty awesome. |
| 05:55 | < afny> | I want one on the end of a chain. |
| 05:55 | < KarolineDianne> | The clip tile mace on the terracotta dudes? |
| 05:55 | < afny> | yea |
| 05:55 | < KarolineDianne> | Yeah... That's a nice mace. |
| 05:55 | < KarolineDianne> | Took me a moment to see what it was made of. I was like... How did he shot morningstar? |
| 06:01 | < KarolineDianne> | I'm gonna head to bed now. Ninight |

| 06:11 | <@randolph> | afny: Glad you liked it :D |
| 06:12 | <@randolph> | (9:55:07 PM) afny: I want one on the end of a chain. |
| 06:12 | <@randolph> | That would be awesome. |
| 06:12 | <@randolph> | I need some chains |
| 06:17 | < afny> | I have no idea what I did with mine |
| 06:17 | < afny> | I had one brown one, and what remains of the frame it was on is all on my table |
| 06:17 | < afny> | but no chain |
| 06:18 | <@randolph> | I've seen them for pretty cheap on BL |
| 06:18 | <@randolph> | let me add it to my BL shopping list |
| 06:18 | < afny> | I think I sorted it but I don't have any idea |
| 06:18 | < afny> | into what drawer I would've sorted it |
| 06:18 | <@randolph> | What's the useful length at frame size? |
| 06:18 | < afny> | is there more than one? |
| 06:18 | <@randolph> | I've only seen them at 25-links and <single-digit> |
| 06:18 | < afny> | I dunno |
| 06:26 | <@randolph> | It'd be amazing if they came in trans-blue or something |

| 08:41 | <@randolph> | Hey guys |
| 08:41 | < Malcolm> | Ah, Randolph! Great work with your terracotta army |
| 08:41 | < Malcolm> | Really nice company |
| 08:42 | <@randolph> | Thank you! |
| 08:42 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 08:42 | <@randolph> | And as soon as CJ and I can schedule it, he gets to blow it to hell XD |
| 08:42 | < Malcolm> | I'm sure they will put up a valiant resistance |
| 08:42 | < CalaveraJoe> | Incidentally, the missus is keen on the notion of me getting 1-2 weekend days a month for me time sans tot duty |
| 08:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | So as soon as all the wedding silliness for the sis-in-law is done with we might /actually/ get to do that |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | We only need, like, 2 hours, maybe. |
| 08:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | I don't /think/ I've got anything I need to do tomorrow, so I'm hoping to tighten up the 1.0 version of my company |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | cool |
| 08:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | Then I can work on tweaks and customizations |
| 08:43 | < Malcolm> | It's a shame that almost everyone active in the MFZ community is outside the UK. |
| 08:44 | < Malcolm> | I should really try harder |
| 08:44 | <@randolph> | Oh, I made a ruler! |
| 08:44 | <@randolph> | I only had enough plates in tan and brown, so it looks like flan |
| 08:44 | < Malcolm> | heh |
| 08:44 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 08:44 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'll give ya one |
| 08:44 | < CalaveraJoe> | I've got like.. 4-5 of them |
| 08:44 | < Malcolm> | I find hinge plates a 1x4 plates are ideal for rulers |
| 08:45 | < CalaveraJoe> | I just kept picking up ruler pieces with all my BL orders |
| 08:45 | < CalaveraJoe> | All in red or light bley |
| 08:45 | <@randolph> | It's ok CJ, I did what Malcolm is talking about |
| 08:45 | <@randolph> | 1x2 hinge plate male + 1x2 hinge plate female sandwiched between 1x4 plates |
| 08:45 | <@randolph> | It's just that my 1x4 plates in decent colors are all spoken for |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | I'll just order some in l. bley. |
| 08:46 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | Actually, if you have 1 spare hinge piece in red, I'll take it |
| 08:46 | < CalaveraJoe> | I just used the hinge brick things |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | I make the first ruler unit different colored for "HtH range" |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | red would be perfect |
| 08:46 | <@randolph> | "Warning: Beatdown commencing" |
| 08:46 | < CalaveraJoe> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30387 these guys, right? |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | yeah |
| 08:47 | < Malcolm> | I tend to have 8 long rulers in black and yellow, so a 1x4 in black, followed by 1x4 in yellow, etc etc |
| 08:47 | < CalaveraJoe> | I just made my rulers in alternating red / light bley |
| 08:47 | <@randolph> | Alternating to make them visually distinct? |
| 08:47 | < Malcolm> | Any alternating colour scheme is grand |
| 08:47 | < CalaveraJoe> | Makes it easy to eyeball ranges |
| 08:48 | <@randolph> | I guess I could do that. I should actually just do: 1, 2-6, 7-8 |
| 08:48 | <@randolph> | (1): hth |
| 08:48 | <@randolph> | 2-6: d6 move range |
| 08:48 | <@randolph> | 7-8 DF / d8g move range |
| 08:48 | < CalaveraJoe> | artillery is >8, right? |
| 08:48 | < Malcolm> | Yep |
| 08:48 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hrm, that might be a good way to re-do em |
| 08:49 | < CalaveraJoe> | Red, bley, bley, bley, bley, bley, red, red |
| 08:49 | <@randolph> | done |
| 08:49 | < Malcolm> | I'd go red, bley, red, bley, red, bley, red, bley |
| 08:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah, thats what they are now |
| 08:50 | <@randolph> | I'd go: Red, green, green, green, green, green, whatever whaetver |
| 08:50 | <@randolph> | maybe red again as the whatever |
| 08:50 | <@randolph> | green = movement on a d6 |
| 08:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | But yeah, I should have a few extra reds floating around |
| 08:50 | <@randolph> | awesome |
| 08:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hell, I technically have a whole lot of extra lots of stuff |
| 08:50 | <@randolph> | Btw, I went to DD PAB today after your pics |
| 08:50 | < Malcolm> | I'll tell you what's great though: after years of there being about twenty of us worldwide playing Mechaton, it's great to have a much larger community playing and building |
| 08:51 | <@randolph> | Malcolm: woo |
| 08:51 | < CalaveraJoe> | Since I decided to reign myself in and not go bonkers with builds |
| 08:51 | < CalaveraJoe> | Malcolm: Ironically, that small player base is why I never got into it originally |
| 08:51 | < CalaveraJoe> | It was like "Well, who the /eff/ do I play with?" |
| 08:51 | < Malcolm> | That's a very fair comment |
| 08:52 | <@randolph> | Kickstarter ftw |
| 08:52 | < Malcolm> | Indeed |
| 08:52 | < CalaveraJoe> | Cause I remember seeing the rules way back when and going "Holy crap this is awesome!" |
| 08:52 | < CalaveraJoe> | and all my friends going "Ehhhhhhhh" |
| 08:52 | < CalaveraJoe> | Of course, it's also a fluke that randolph and I live 5 minutes apart |
| 08:52 | < Malcolm> | That is fairly handy, I must admit |
| 08:52 | < CalaveraJoe> | Speaking of which: See what I mean about the selection? It's nuts |
| 08:52 | < Malcolm> | Where is it you guys stay? |
| 08:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | We're both in Anaheim, California |
| 08:55 | < Malcolm> | Aha, a part of the state I have not made it to. Although, I might have to go to the Nixon Library at some point, so I might make it there yet. |
| 08:55 | < CalaveraJoe> | The Nixon library is about.. 10 minutes up the road from me |
| 08:56 | < Malcolm> | You can play games of Spot the Historian |
| 08:56 | < Malcolm> | Probably one of the less exciting games around |
| 08:57 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 08:57 | <@randolph> | CJ: Yeah, it's pretty awesome |
| 08:58 | <@randolph> | Though, I blew through ALL of the white 1x2 bricks I picked up in that single shot |
| 08:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | Not a /ton/ of stuff for frames, mind you, but LOTS of stuff for terrain |
| 08:58 | <@randolph> | Yeah |
| 08:58 | <@randolph> | At this point, I only need specialty stuff for frames anyway |
| 08:58 | <@randolph> | Though those mailbox things are perfect for gonk droids XD |
| 08:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | Wow, you really didn't get many. How many cups? |
| 08:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 08:58 | < Malcolm> | I just picked up a whole bunch of slopes for more terrain. And then realised its enoguh to build one small hill |
| 08:59 | < Malcolm> | I never get my estimations right |
| 08:59 | <@randolph> | Oh, I got a mix of stuff, only 3 columns of white 1x2 |
| 08:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | I saw those and was like "fuuuuuuu- I NEED to build a frame just for these" |
| 08:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | Malcolm http://www.flickr.com/photos/78301704@N02/7662660130/ |
| 08:59 | <@randolph> | Someone... grasshopper? pasukuru? has frames with the mailbox or lid as the torso |
| 08:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | That's the spread I picked up (next pic shows how many) |
| 09:00 | <@randolph> | I have no idea what to do with those gems |
| 09:00 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'm also pondering using them as "strongboxes" for the gems |
| 09:00 | <@randolph> | Oh, and they had black wingplates L and R, so I picked up a stack of each |
| 09:00 | < CalaveraJoe> | Make them part of the fluff of my campaign |
| 09:00 | < Malcolm> | Oh, I have a bunch of those and have never figured out what to do with them. The gems, I mean |
| 09:00 | <@randolph> | Aha, and they can be an objective~ |
| 09:00 | < Malcolm> | Thats a rand idea |
| 09:01 | <@randolph> | Btw, I made a Peach Preservation Unit as a station~ |
| 09:01 | < Malcolm> | Anyhow, must go. Sunday morning ride on the bike beckons. Have a good one. |
| 09:01 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'm basically writing up Orion 4 |

| 09:03 | <@randolph> | Ok, I was there last weekend |
| 09:03 | <@randolph> | Guess SoCal got a restock |
| 09:04 | <@randolph> | They're too big - for frames |
| 09:04 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 09:04 | <@randolph> | But you can make an industrial fan, or a turret emplacement, or some giant turbine, etc |
| 09:05 | <@randolph> | haha |
| 09:05 | <@randolph> | I can make a LEGO doomsday clock |
| 09:05 | <@randolph> | It's geared, after all. |
| 09:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | I just picked up the hutching large d20 |
| 09:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | 55mm |
| 09:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | Two, actually |
| 09:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 09:05 | <@randolph> | heh nice |
| 09:06 | < CalaveraJoe> | Red one and Black one |
| 09:06 | < CalaveraJoe> | Actually, my dice setup is nice |
| 09:07 | < CalaveraJoe> | Still need to laminate the company sheets, but that's no big deal (I have a laminator) I just need to do it |
| 09:07 | <@randolph> | I haven't needed them, even to teach newbies, but they can't hurt |
| 09:07 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* I figure they'll be more of a "Hey, that's handy" than a "Damn, I need one of those" |
| 09:08 | < CalaveraJoe> | I printed a pile of them on cardstock |
| 09:08 | <@randolph> | IIRC, someone who was demoing live had them, and they helped the newbies enough they didn't need to ask for clarifications after the first turn |
| 09:08 | <@randolph> | so that's a point in their favor |
| 09:08 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 09:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | I also bought itty bitty stickers so I can number my units easily to match the sheet |
| 09:09 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 09:09 | <@randolph> | I kinda wanna get those 1x1 tiles with numbers on them that I see now and then |
| 09:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
| 09:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | I basically made those |
| 09:09 | <@randolph> | Perfect size for frame shoulders |
| 09:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | Red, and trans red 1x1 tiles |
| 09:09 | <@randolph> | ah |
| 09:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | But I've also still got a TON of stickers left to make more sets if I ever needed to |
| 09:10 | <@randolph> | Are they permanent? |
| 09:10 | <@randolph> | I guess it doesn't matter since trans red tiles are so abundant at the PAB |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | Permanent enough to play with, but removable if you wanted to (though you've likely have to de gunk" |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | And you only really need 8 |
| 09:11 | <@randolph> | Well. |
| 09:11 | <@randolph> | What if red doesn't work with the company color scheme? :p |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | I don't foresee that problem |
| 09:11 | <@randolph> | I was thinking of putting them directly on whatever shoulder tile is already there |
| 09:11 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | Since the bulk of my bricks are black, red, and bley |
| 09:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 09:12 | <@randolph> | Heh |
| 09:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
| 09:12 | <@randolph> | I meant as a generalized solution :p |
| 09:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 09:15 | <@randolph> | afk |
| 09:15 | < CalaveraJoe> | Okay... I should probably make friendly with the bed myself. Silly toddlers and waking up early on weekends |
| 09:15 | < CalaveraJoe> | Later |

| 16:30 | < neoaez> | With the new draft of the rules released I'm surprised it has been so slow in here. |
| 16:32 | < Malcolm> | Things seem to have been very quiet in general: blogs, etc |
| 16:32 | < Malcolm> | But, thats what busy lives do to you |
| 16:32 | < neoaez> | Could just be that it is the summer months, too. |
| 16:33 | < neoaez> | True. |
| 16:33 | < Malcolm> | By that standard, all the MFZ people in the UK should have been building and playing non-stop, given the amount of rain we've had |
| 16:34 | < Malcolm> | Then again, there are only about three of us |
| 16:34 | < Malcolm> | But hey, building: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/7669056398 |
| 16:34 | < neoaez> | Hah. Well its been too damn hot in the states. |
| 16:34 | < Malcolm> | Ripped off colour schemes ahoy! |
| 16:35 | < neoaez> | Cool. Those 1x1 round tiles are expensive on BL. I really want some. |
| 16:35 | < neoaez> | Color choices are rather limited, too. |
| 16:35 | < Malcolm> | Yeah, white, grey, lots of ransparents |
| 16:35 | < Malcolm> | I limited nyself to a few of the grey ones, white was a bit much for my taste |
| 16:39 | < neoaez> | A local grocery store had some old Star Wars poly bag sets on clearance for $2.50 a bag. This set has 5 dark red cheese slopes amongst some other cool stuff. Picked up 4 bags. |
| 16:39 | < neoaez> | This set: http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/30050-1 |
| 16:40 | < Malcolm> | Nice. Thats a great little selection of parts |
| 16:40 | < neoaez> | Yeah and it works out to just about 5 cents / part. |
| 16:43 | < neoaez> | How did I miss your breakdown of the MgN-309H? Looks great. Thanks for doing that. |
| 16:44 | < neoaez> | I need to finish up some more LDR files. I'm going to have start tearing down some frames (or make another BL order) and need to document the builds. |
| 16:45 | < Malcolm> | Ah, well, these things are easy to miss |
| 16:47 | < Malcolm> | I've put all the breakdowns in one set for ease of reference: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/sets/72157630712950164/ |
| 16:48 | < neoaez> | Awesome. |
| 16:50 | < neoaez> | Do you mind if I create an LDR for the LandMate? |
| 16:54 | < Malcolm> | Go right ahead. I'm now leaning towards the Mk2 as my standard choice. The Mk1 seems a little anaemic these days. |
| 16:54 | < Malcolm> | But, go for your life |
| 16:54 | < Malcolm> | Let me know if you need any pointers |
| 16:55 | < neoaez> | I've got the Mk1 down. I'll need to see how the Mk2 differs. |
| 16:56 | < Malcolm> | The only real difference is the headlight brick mounted on either side of the central Travis brick |
| 16:57 | < Malcolm> | And the 'backpack', which is just a 1x2 plate, one of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3839b, and some other bits and pieces |
| 16:58 | < neoaez> | Ok. Thanks. |

| 19:39 | < DeathZero> | Yo's. |
| 19:42 | < DeathZero> | nifty lookin Gundam Hammer. |
| 19:44 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 19:44 | <@randolph> | thanks |
| 19:46 | < DeathZero> | need to finish the one with the chain |
| 19:47 | < DeathZero> | I wanna see that one :D |
| 19:47 | <@randolph> | I don't *have* a chain :( |
| 19:47 | <@randolph> | Afny linkd the picture last night, I just made it so he can go do it :p |
| 19:51 | < DeathZero> | :/ |
| 19:51 | < DeathZero> | I've got chain's, just hadn't found anything to use em on yet. |
| 19:52 | < DeathZero> | I'd simply attach the end of a chain to both sides of the black peice. Then attach the other ends to both sides of a lightsaber handle. |
| 19:53 | <@randolph> | Do you have the parts to build the ball? |
| 19:53 | <@randolph> | If so, you can brick it~ |
| 19:54 | < DeathZero> | probably. |
| 19:56 | < DeathZero> | I've got a butt ton of cheese wedges, looks like thats most of what I need right there. |
| 19:56 | < afny> | I still like the clip tile ball better |
| 19:56 | < afny> | it's just a better size |
| 19:57 | < DeathZero> | I do like that one, I'd like it better if it was somewhere between the large one and its current size. |
| 19:57 | < afny> | I also like it because it's so efficient at portraying a difficult shape at a low resolution |
| 19:57 | < afny> | it's just neat. |
| 19:58 | <@randolph> | Ah, the small one just looks "too small" for the ball-and-chain thing you showed me |
| 19:59 | <@randolph> | It's "only" the size of a frame's head~ |
| 20:00 | < afny> | but at mfz scale it's the right size for that kind of weapon |
| 20:00 | < afny> | you have to remember a gundam is much, much bigger than an st |
| 20:00 | <@randolph> | gotcha. |
| 20:00 | < afny> | if we were building chub sized gundams |
| 20:01 | <@randolph> | I have watched very little gundam |
| 20:01 | < afny> | at say, 4p scale |
| 20:01 | < afny> | heads would be a lot smaller |
| 20:01 | < afny> | they'd be like 2p high, 1x1 |
| 20:01 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 20:01 | < afny> | like a landmate head would be a big head. |
| 20:02 | < DeathZero> | yea, gundam's are huge compared to what we use for mfz. |
| 20:02 | <@randolph> | Well, I do seem to recall a shot of the pilot through an eyehole... |
| 20:03 | <@randolph> | vs. 7p, where a pilot is a large portion of the Chub's chest |
| 20:03 | < afny> | depends on the gundam |
| 20:03 | <@randolph> | nod |
| 20:03 | < afny> | or the mobile suit |
| 20:03 | < afny> | most "gundams" have the cockpit in the chest |
| 20:04 | < DeathZero> | yea, the head cockpit was a rarity. |
| 20:06 | <@randolph> | I just meant in terms of scale |
| 20:06 | < afny> | for reference, a Scopedog (basically a Chub) is 3.8 meters while the RX-78-2 Gundam (the iconic one) is 18.0 meters. |
| 20:06 | < DeathZero> | :D |
| 20:06 | < DeathZero> | he could step on a chub. |
| 20:06 | < afny> | chubs might be a little taller than scopedogs |
| 20:07 | < afny> | dunno |
| 20:07 | < afny> | but either way |
| 20:07 | < afny> | they'd get stepped. |
| 20:08 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
| 20:21 | < afny> | oh god |
| 20:21 | < afny> | apparently it takes 40 minutes to kill my next wyvern with a sword and shield |
| 20:21 | < afny> | time to learn a new weapon. |
| 20:30 | <@randolph> | what the hell are you playing? |
| 20:31 | < afny> | monster hunter |
| 20:31 | <@randolph> | ah |
| 20:31 | < afny> | it's pretty great |
| 20:31 | < afny> | not many modern games are this challenging |
| 20:35 | < afny> | it turns out a sword the length and width of my body |
| 20:35 | < afny> | is not the best weapon for killing goats. |
| 20:38 | < DeathZero> | lmao |
| 20:38 | < DeathZero> | sounds like a good weapon to me |
| 20:38 | < afny> | some weapons in this game are huge |
| 20:38 | < afny> | but they handle realistically |
| 20:39 | < afny> | so it takes like 3 seconds to swing this thing, and it gets stuck in the ground |
| 20:39 | < afny> | and goats behave like goats, basically |
| 20:39 | < afny> | so it's fucking hard to hit them. |
| 20:39 | < DeathZero> | XD |
