03:24
< mchnzr>
I got a bunch of parts from bricklink, let me do some new stuff
03:24

waiting for sc2 videos to buffer :|
03:25

I still need to get some hinge plates 1x2 locking to make reavers
03:25
< mchnzr>
you play or just watch?
03:25
< afny>
just watch
03:25
< afny>
don't have a computer that can run it currently or I would
03:26

Hey MK
04:51
< Mantisking>
Hey.
04:52
< afny>
hey mk, you use technic stuff
04:52
< afny>
do you know of a method for attaching those technic fig helmets?
04:52
< Mantisking>
Yup.
04:52
< afny>
I have (had, can't find) a black one with a black visor that I want to use
04:52
< afny>
bt
04:52
< afny>
but playing with my teal one
04:52
< afny>
I can't find a good way to connect it
04:53
< Mantisking>
I've never used them as far as I know.
04:53
< afny>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carterbaldwin/6545637973/
04:54
< afny>
as far as I can tell, this uses one
04:54
< afny>
although it may just be two visors, I don't actually know what's behind them
04:55
< Mantisking>
Looks like two visors to me. They're probably held on with pressure.
04:56
< afny>
yeah, but I mean
04:56
< afny>
the thing they're pressed to
04:56
< afny>
I think is one of the helmets I'm talking abut
04:56
< afny>
+o
04:57
< Mantisking>
Could be a helmet facing backwards.
04:58
< afny>
the problem is still how to connect them helmet to other elements
04:58
< afny>
although I suspect that person's solution was to just put a whole technic fig head in there and attach the ball joint
04:58
< Mantisking>
Could be.

o-o pirates!
15:37

not ENTIRELY designed with mfz in mind
15:37
< afny>
but close enough
15:38
< DeathZero>
lol. I like it.
15:38
< afny>
thanks
15:38
< afny>
every time I take a picture of it I find a vastly better pose
15:39
< afny>
it's the first "big" mech I've ever built
15:39
< afny>
I've built a couple that are almost as tall but not nearly as detailed
15:40 Ced23Ric [me@Nightstar-7a276200.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds]
15:43
< DeathZero>
it's got a "I dug this shit up and now I'm gonna raid and pillage" kind of vibe
15:43
< DeathZero>
the last part might be mostly due to the pirate flag. o_O
15:48
< afny>
dug this shit up is definitely correct
15:48
< afny>
and pillaging, too
15:48
< afny>
maybe not raiding
15:49
< afny>
okay, so the setting as I envision it currently
15:49
< afny>
(I'm sleep deprived and highly caffeinated)
15:49
< afny>
it's like
15:49
< afny>
a very fucked up adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood
15:49
< afny>
set in a huge, bombed out city

< afny>
that's a demilitarized zone in a civil war
15:50
< afny>
and basically, there's a ton of ruined mechs in the city that both sides abandoned when they fled
15:50
< afny>
but the residents of the city are more or less stuck inside it
15:50
< afny>
so it's complete chaos, everyone has giant robots, and very little resources are coming in from the outside
15:51
< afny>
and this little girl is piloting this robot, and her grandmother is like a scientist or some shit working for one of the factions (probably the proletariat side)
15:52
< DeathZero>
nice, sounds interesting.
15:53
< afny>
I'll have to scale the mechs down if I want to make more than one or two
15:54
< DeathZero>
aww.
16:05
< afny>
hm
16:05
< afny>
I added a yellow 1x2 plate
16:05
< afny>
and changed one of the hinge plates in the chest from white to yellow
16:05
< afny>
I think I like it better
16:07
< afny>
looks a little too much like a deathscythe
16:12
< DeathZero>
Deathscythe ftw.
16:13
< DeathZero>
the name DeathZero came from a Gundam I made back in the day, started out as a combination of Deathscythe and Wing Zero.
16:13
< DeathZero>
>_> so yea, I'm a big fan of anything that resembles Deathscythe.
16:14
< afny>
urgh
16:14
< afny>
I dunno, I like gundams with black as a main color, but
16:14
< afny>
...deathscythe.

>_> final version of DZ.
16:22
< afny>
I'm just not a fan of Wing in general
16:25
< DeathZero>
As far as story goes, I'm with ya, wing didn't have a really good storyline
16:26
< DeathZero>
Wing was pretty much only good for cool looking Gundams.
16:26
< afny>
I'm not even a fan of the gundams
16:26
< afny>
they try too hard to be cool, in my opinion
16:26
< afny>
I like Leos and the Tallgeese I
16:27
< DeathZero>
the talgeese was awesome.
16:27
< DeathZero>
aside from the Deathscythe and a few others, I prefer the Universal Century designs more.
16:27
< DeathZero>
the storyline is a lot better in my opinion too.
16:33
< afny>
urgh
16:33
< afny>
reading about Russia
16:33
< afny>
that punk band was found guilty, not surprisingly

16:35

bullshit dictatorship stuff basically
16:38
< DeathZero>
looks like it.
16:48
< afny>
I need some solid color minifig heads
16:50
< DeathZero>
I got ahold of a few to make some turtles.
16:51
< afny>
...turtles?
16:51
< DeathZero>
the little turtle things that use minifig heads as legs.
16:52
< afny>
got a picture?
16:52
< DeathZero>
lemme see if I can find the original pics, I thought it was you that showed em to me originally.
16:52
< afny>
it's POSSIBLE, but I can't think of anything with minifig heads for legs
16:53
< afny>
it sounds ADORABLE.
16:54
< DeathZero>
cant find the flickr of the guy that designed em but this is a pic of one
16:54
< DeathZero>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32482342@N05/6535139111/
16:55
< afny>
oh yeah, I vaguely remember these now
16:55
< afny>
they are indeed adorable
16:55
< DeathZero>
I figure I can field like 3-4 of em as one frame
16:55
< DeathZero>
and have mantis's crab's as 2-3 for one frame
16:56
< DeathZero>
then round it out with a Scrambler or two as the command units.
16:56
< DeathZero>
I think it'd be a neat little team.
16:56
< afny>
they look at least big enough to be 1/2 of a frame each
16:57
< DeathZero>
they're little less than half the height of a Landmate.
16:57
< afny>
yeah, but scramblers aren't tall either
16:57
< afny>
they're LATERAL
16:57
< DeathZero>
yea.
16:57
< DeathZero>
I was thinking about going with one of the Scrambler mods that has a torso on the top hlf
16:57
< DeathZero>
half^
16:58
< afny>
Striders?
16:59
< afny>
IMMORTALS?
16:59
< afny>
yeah, I like adding stuff to the top of scramblers
16:59
< DeathZero>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/38509565@N00/6823659143 heres the orignal flickr I believe.
17:00
< afny>
adorable.
17:00
< afny>
I couldn't figure out how the Strider went together exactly
17:00
< DeathZero>
I made one in black, then decided he needed a friend and made a blue one, now I want red and green ones.
17:00
< afny>
but I'm missing parts to make even a vanilla scrambler, so
17:00
< afny>
it didn't really matter
17:01
< DeathZero>
Yea, I'll have to do an order to get all the peices I'd need.
17:01
< DeathZero>
I've got the base of a Scrambler assembled and a couple crab mechs done though.
17:02
< afny>
I don't have any 3x3 dishes so I had to get creative
17:02
< afny>
my scramblers have such big heads you kind of don't notice the 4x4 dishes on their main body
17:03
< DeathZero>
any time I've done an order recently I've been looking at what dishes the person has for sale and getting any non-black ones they've had.
17:03
< DeathZero>
I've got some dark blue, blue, and red now, I'd like to find a few green and dark red ones.
17:04
< DeathZero>
I also need to get some more of those octagonal things that make up the base of the scrambler and turtle.
17:05
< DeathZero>
I've only got black/dark red/blue minifig heads to use right now.
17:05
< afny>
hm
17:05
< afny>
I need to dig for little flame bits
17:06
< afny>
I had them sorted at one point but I don't think that's true anymore
17:07
< DeathZero>
flamer :P
17:12
< afny>
problem?
17:12
< afny>
I found six flame bits AND A STAR WAND
17:12
< DeathZero>
lol
17:13
< DeathZero>
make a sailor moon O_o
17:13
< DeathZero>
or a kirby. o_o
17:13
< afny>
sailor moon would be more fun
17:13
< afny>
although I could try out one of those spheres with kirby
17:13
< afny>
I definitely don't have the colors to make kirby, though
17:13

is she alive?

just unhappy now.

he's only a year and a half old.

so he's not big enough to crush her

s'good
17:24

Yea, long as she don't try to bite him its all good.

She's declawed so I don't have to worry about that.

I don't think it's a humane practice, that's all
17:30

ah, she was already declawed when I got her.
17:31
< afny>
ah
17:34
< DeathZero>
somebody lost her in my mom's neighborhood, never could find the owner so she became mine.
17:34
< DeathZero>
aside from the fact that she was declawed, she was too friendly to leave outside where she'd get mauled by some other animal.
17:35
< afny>
aw
17:35
< afny>
how she just gets sat on by a tiny baby
17:35

preferable, presumably.

17:44

oi. what a clusterfuck.
17:45

yeah
17:45

Putin is a fun guy
17:51
< DeathZero>
Yea, it'll be interesting to see what all comes of this.
17:53
< afny>
a bunch of people will go to jail
17:53
< afny>
I don't think it's enough to spark a real revolution
17:53
< afny>
and it's not like some other power will intervene
17:53
< DeathZero>
one can hope
17:54
< afny>
it's Russia.
17:54
< DeathZero>
I know, I know.
17:55

still, it's fucked up
17:55
< DeathZero>
yep.
18:37
< DeathZero>
I swear, the main char from FMP might as well be Heero Yuy.
18:41
< afny>
one of the many reasons I didn't make it very far in that show
18:42
< afny>
I must admit that mech Mitten posted does look a lot like a Gunbuddy though
18:42
< afny>
even the four holes on the head
18:47
< DeathZero>
yea
18:47
< DeathZero>
as far as FMP goes I believe that was a russian mech.
18:48
< DeathZero>
just thought I'd share that with how prominent Russia is in the news today.
18:48
< afny>
I've retconned in a soviet flavor for the Gunbuddies after Malcolm pointed out the similarity to soviet tanks
18:49
< afny>
so even that fits
18:51
< afny>
my faction that uses them is anything but soviet, though
18:51
< afny>
they just share a visual aesthetic
18:51
< afny>
the Fourth Estate is a bit French, if anything
18:53
< afny>
I hope Malcolm finds his SD card before he takes his apart
18:53
< afny>
I want to see his take on them
19:01

he did some gunbuddys?
19:01
< afny>
yeah, you can see them vaguely in his phone pics of his recent demo
19:01
< afny>
but they're like six pixels in area
19:02
< afny>
apparently it was like three scrapheap ones and one factory model
19:02
< afny>
I wanna see them because I bet he had some really good ideas for them
19:03
< DeathZero>

19:05
< afny>
maybe I'll mail him an SD card in exchange for those dirty 2x2 dishes

19:05
< huhwhozat>
I need to get a camera
19:06
< huhwhozat>

19:07
< DeathZero>
I use a $30 dollar crap digital camera for mine.
19:07
< DeathZero>

19:08
< afny>

these could be very useful for MFZ parts
19:58
< huhwhozat>
if they ever get approved
20:19
< huhwhozat>
soren should do a CUSOO project for MFZ sets when he gets them finalized
20:31
< DeathZero>
I doubt lego would produce it even it it got to 10,000.
20:31
< DeathZero>
I don't think MFZ is the type of game that lego would actually put their name behind.
20:32
< DeathZero>
then theres the fragility issue of a lot of the frames out there. They tend to dislike sets that break when you're just fiddling with em.
20:33
< DeathZero>
even the basic Chub has fragility issues with the waist and at the top of the legs.
20:39
< huhwhozat>
blarr :(
