| 16:40 | < DeathZero> | Yo |
| 16:40 | < DeathZero> | sup afny |
| 17:00 | < afny> | heyh |
| 17:00 | < afny> | nothing much |
| 17:00 | < afny> | very tired and very caffeinated |
| 17:01 | < afny> | running builds against bots because battlenet is down |
| 17:10 | < DeathZero> | fun. |
| 17:11 | < afny> | NOT PARTICULARLY |
| 17:11 | < afny> | I have a mineral/gas imbalance at like 6 minutes |
| 17:11 | < afny> | AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT |
| 17:17 | < huhwhozat> | hi y'all |
| 17:18 | < DeathZero> | o_O lol. me either |
| 17:18 | < DeathZero> | sup man |
| 17:18 | < afny> | I am GOING TO THE STORE NOW |
| 17:19 | < afny> | hello huhwhozat |
| 17:19 | < afny> | and goodbye. |
| 17:19 | < huhwhozat> | um ok den :P |
| 17:19 | < DeathZero> | awww |
| 17:19 | < DeathZero> | laters |
| 17:19 | < DeathZero> | :P |
| 17:44 | < DeathZero> | yo whozat |
| 17:45 | < DeathZero> | found somebody else here in Indiana thats on the forums |
| 17:45 | < huhwhozat> | oh cool |
| 17:45 | < huhwhozat> | who/where are they? |
| 17:46 | < DeathZero> | Wiking, lives down around mitchell |
| 17:46 | < DeathZero> | said he'd be interested in coming up to Indy sometime to play. |
| 17:46 | < huhwhozat> | neat |
| 17:47 | < huhwhozat> | we could actually play a game with 3 players then |
| 17:47 | < huhwhozat> | has he got a company set up? |
| 17:48 | < DeathZero> | theres also the other guy I've talked to, Majincob, he lives probly 15-20 min from me |
| 17:48 | < DeathZero> | he's working on it, said he should have the parts he needs by the end of the month. |
| 17:48 | < huhwhozat> | sweet |
| 17:48 | < huhwhozat> | Majincob? |
| 17:48 | < DeathZero> | Yea, he's posted on the forums under that name |
| 17:48 | < DeathZero> | been a while though |
| 17:48 | < huhwhozat> | haven't seen him at all, then again I haven't been on the forum in a while |
| 17:49 | < huhwhozat> | just flickr :P |
| 17:49 | < DeathZero> | yea, forum's aren't as active as they once were |
| 17:49 | < DeathZero> | lol, I don't check flickr. |
| 17:49 | < DeathZero> | if it's not on the fb page or the forums I don't see it. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | flikr is pretty active |
| 17:49 | < afny> | some good stuff |
| 17:49 | < afny> | the Forge got really flooded for a while, and then stagnant when new users couldn't register for like almost a month |
| 17:50 | < DeathZero> | if people are posting to flickr they should be posting to the forums. :P |
| 17:50 | < afny> | it's too much work |
| 17:50 | < afny> | for one thing |
| 17:50 | < afny> | and not really worth it |
| 17:50 | < afny> | no one reads the forums |
| 17:51 | < DeathZero> | meh, too much work for me to go to flickr. |
| 17:51 | < afny> | with the exception of you (apparently) |
| 17:51 | < afny> | everyone I know that reads the Forge also reads flikr |
| 17:51 | < afny> | and you don't have to do any post formating |
| 17:51 | < afny> | +t |
| 17:51 | < afny> | I sometimes still post on the forge, but usually only if I have a good individual shot, or if it's a frame I want to share a breakdown for |
| 17:52 | < DeathZero> | only time I go on flickr is to upload something or cause I'm wanting a bigger picture of something somebody posted on forums. |
| 17:52 | < afny> | oh shit I somehow entered |
| 17:52 | < afny> | magnifying glass mode |
| 17:52 | < afny> | and I do not know how to get out |
| 17:52 | < DeathZero> | lmao. |
| 17:52 | < afny> | I don't even know |
| 17:55 | < afny> | these, for instance |
| 17:55 | < afny> | were not on the forum |
| 17:55 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/killykaiju/8087152931/in/pool-438009@N25 |
| 17:55 | < afny> | and deepcope doesn't post there |
| 17:55 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/82225126@N06/8055147403/in/pool-438009@N25 |
| 17:55 | < DeathZero> | o_O doesn't look like I'm missing a whole lot. |
| 17:56 | < DeathZero> | ok that White Glint is kinda cool |
| 17:56 | < afny> | I love those reverse bipeds |
| 17:56 | < afny> | maybe they don't have universal appeal |
| 17:56 | < afny> | but I can't get over them |
| 17:56 | < DeathZero> | I've never been a fan of chicken walkers. |
| 17:56 | < afny> | all of DeepCope's stuff is great |
| 17:56 | < afny> | you should go through his photostream |
| 17:56 | < afny> | or hers |
| 17:56 | < afny> | I do not know them |
| 17:58 | < DeathZero> | lol. theres some need stuff in DC's photostream. |
| 17:58 | < DeathZero> | neat...not need. |
| 17:58 | < afny> | this is like my favorite thing ever: lol. theres some need stuff in DC's photostream. |
| 17:58 | < afny> | [13:58] <DeathZero> n |
| 17:58 | < afny> | er |
| 17:58 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/82225126@N06/7953061628/in/photostream |
| 17:59 | < afny> | I stole that window chest for a few different things |
| 17:59 | < afny> | it's so slick |
| 17:59 | < DeathZero> | :P |
| 18:00 | < afny> | I used it on |
| 18:00 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/8110094660/in/photostream |
| 18:00 | < afny> | those big ass chubs in the back |
| 18:00 | < DeathZero> | cool |
| 18:33 | < DeathZero> | looks to me like most of the stuff in the flickr does get posted to the forums or the fb page. there were only a couple things in there I hadn't seen. |
| 18:37 | < afny> | it's possible that I just don't read the Forge |
| 18:37 | < afny> | also, I didn't even know there was a facebook page |
| 18:38 | < DeathZero> | o_o lmao |
| 18:38 | < DeathZero> | http://www.facebook.com/groups/252503984838645/ |
| 18:39 | < DeathZero> | thats how I found the forums was through the fb group |
| 18:39 | < afny> | I don't use fb |
| 18:39 | < afny> | I found them through the kickstarter I think? |
| 18:39 | < DeathZero> | aww, everyone should use fb. |
| 18:39 | < afny> | it's pretty horrible |
| 18:40 | < huhwhozat> | ew, fb |
| 18:40 | < afny> | ^ |
| 18:40 | < DeathZero> | it's too convenient for keeping in touch with people |
| 18:40 | < afny> | literally |
| 18:43 | < afny> | if I had a social media presence |
| 18:43 | < afny> | it'd be on g+ |
| 18:43 | < afny> | while google's omnipresence makes me uneasy |
| 18:43 | < afny> | they at least take the time to assuage my concerns |
| 18:43 | < afny> | facebook, on the other hand |
| 18:43 | < afny> | says, "they trust me. Idiots." |
| 18:44 | < huhwhozat> | ...just has a disgusting interface? |
| 18:44 | < afny> | also that! |
| 18:44 | < huhwhozat> | and MOA |
| 18:44 | < DeathZero> | meh, I have no problems with fb. |
| 18:44 | < DeathZero> | g+ is shit in my opinion. |
| 18:44 | < afny> | why? |
| 18:44 | < DeathZero> | I don't like it. |
| 18:45 | < DeathZero> | it's doing the same thing as fb, on a smaller scale. |
| 18:45 | < afny> | what do you mean smaller scale |
| 18:45 | < DeathZero> | nobody I care to maintain contact with is on g+ |
| 18:45 | < afny> | i'd say it's scope is much wider |
| 18:45 | < afny> | it's got email integration |
| 18:45 | < afny> | for one thing |
| 18:45 | < DeathZero> | but less people use it. |
| 18:45 | < DeathZero> | thats what I mean by smaller scale. |
| 18:45 | < afny> | I suppose |
| 18:45 | < huhwhozat> | for me, this is a good thing :P |
| 18:46 | < afny> | same |
| 18:46 | < DeathZero> | I prefer to be where I can maintain contact with my friends. |
| 18:46 | < afny> | I deleted my facebook, and I can honestly say it's only inconvenienced me SLIGHTLY |
| 18:46 | < afny> | as in like, three people are more difficult to contact |
| 18:46 | < afny> | out of my 100+ friends |
| 18:46 | < afny> | that I literally didn' |
| 18:46 | < afny> | t need to read about |
| 18:46 | < DeathZero> | well I don't have a cell phone, so without facebook I have no contact with anyone. |
| 18:46 | < huhwhozat> | which, g+ has nice circles for |
| 18:47 | < huhwhozat> | oh, well that's difficult |
| 18:47 | < afny> | that's understandable, yeah |
| 18:47 | < afny> | but it's no reason to prefer facebook |
| 18:47 | < afny> | it's just a reason to USE facebook :P |
| 18:47 | < huhwhozat> | yeah, just because fb has more people you know, is no merit for fb |
| 18:48 | < afny> | I mean, it is |
| 18:48 | < afny> | but it's not a reason to be a loyal consumer |
| 18:48 | < DeathZero> | also, everything loads facebook, I've not seen any ads saying this device can run g+ |
| 18:48 | < afny> | :\ |
| 18:48 | < afny> | everything can run g+ |
| 18:48 | < huhwhozat> | yeah, it's 'cos they don't *need* anything special :P |
| 18:49 | < afny> | yep, it's just a website |
| 18:49 | < afny> | if anything that's just a flaw in their advertising |
| 18:49 | < huhwhozat> | which actually has layouts for smartphones |
| 18:49 | < afny> | but I think they're playing the long game |
| 18:49 | < huhwhozat> | after all this touting g_, I should probably actually get an account |
| 18:50 | < afny> | heh |
| 18:50 | < DeathZero> | feck that. I still think its gay. |
| 18:50 | < huhwhozat> | I don't use social media tho |
| 18:50 | < afny> | you shouldn't use gay as a pejorative, yo |
| 18:50 | < afny> | and yeah, same here |
| 18:50 | < DeathZero> | :P gay is my favorite pejorative. |
| 18:50 | < afny> | I have an account, originally made it just to use their hangout functionality |
| 18:50 | < afny> | with a friend to play torchlight |
| 18:50 | < huhwhozat> | lol |
| 18:50 | < afny> | it's a bad pejorative |
| 18:51 | < afny> | it uses less bandwidth than skype |
| 18:51 | < huhwhozat> | whatabout steam? |
| 18:51 | < afny> | but for some reason tunngle fucked up my connectivty with my dns |
| 18:51 | < afny> | steam's voice chat? |
| 18:51 | < afny> | the codec is really bad |
| 18:51 | < huhwhozat> | it uses skype codec.... |
| 18:51 | < DeathZero> | I tried to use steam once...I quit after 5 minutes. |
| 18:51 | < afny> | really? it's been a long time since I've used steam voice chat I guess |
| 18:51 | < afny> | but I assume it's still bandwidth intensive |
| 18:52 | < huhwhozat> | maybe, yeah |
| 18:52 | < huhwhozat> | I'm on a connection that doesn't care about bandwidth for the most part :P |
| 18:52 | < DeathZero> | same here. |
| 18:54 | < afny> | well, I also just don't like skype |
| 18:54 | < afny> | my connection is okay |
| 18:54 | < afny> | it's just kind of a shitty program |
| 18:54 | < afny> | always turning down my volume |
| 18:54 | | * afny shakes fist |
| 18:55 | < DeathZero> | It's trying to protect your ears. |
| 18:55 | < DeathZero> | >_> |
| 18:55 | < afny> | nah, it turns down the volume of |
| 18:55 | < afny> | OTHER PROGRAMS |
| 18:55 | < DeathZero> | skype knows what's best. |
| 18:56 | < huhwhozat> | yeah, I don't care much for skype either |
| 18:56 | < afny> | and it does it dynamically |
| 18:56 | < afny> | it does not! |
| 18:56 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
| 18:56 | < afny> | it's STUPID. |
| 18:56 | < huhwhozat> | the thing I hate most is it's refusal to close when I tell it to |
| 18:56 | < afny> | oh god, yeah |
| 18:56 | < DeathZero> | XD |
| 18:56 | < afny> | and it has like, two other processes that run |
| 18:56 | < huhwhozat> | you *always* have to close it twice |
| 18:56 | < huhwhozat> | yeah |
| 18:56 | < afny> | even after you shut it |
| 18:56 | < DeathZero> | again, it knows whats best for you. lmao. |
| 18:56 | < huhwhozat> | except not |
| 18:56 | < afny> | it's an unwelcome house guest |
| 18:57 | < afny> | that tries to do my laundry |
| 18:57 | < afny> | and shrinks all my clothes |
| 18:57 | < afny> | it's a guy that wants to give me a ride to my job |
| 18:57 | < afny> | but instead takes me to his cousins house to do cocaine |
| 18:57 | < DeathZero> | ^most laughs I've had all day. |
| 18:57 | < huhwhozat> | bwaha |
| 18:57 | < afny> | it thinks it knows what's best |
| 18:57 | < afny> | BUT IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT/. |
| 18:58 | < DeathZero> | but it loves you and doesn't wantyou to leave it |
| 18:58 | < DeathZero> | thats why it won't close when you tell it. |
| 18:58 | < huhwhozat> | ugh |
| 18:58 | < DeathZero> | and it turns down your volume, its like "HEY! LISTEN!" |
| 18:58 | < DeathZero> | <_< |
| 18:58 | < afny> | but it won't let me press up C |
| 18:58 | < huhwhozat> | oh gawd, skype == navi |
| 18:58 | < afny> | and when it finally does |
| 18:58 | < afny> | it equips the deku shield |
| 18:59 | < DeathZero> | XD |
| 18:59 | < huhwhozat> | :P |
| 18:59 | < afny> | and I need the mirror shield |
| 18:59 | < afny> | also, that ring sound |
| 18:59 | < afny> | it could not be more annoying |
| 18:59 | < DeathZero> | totally navi. |
| 18:59 | < afny> | you say that like it's a good thing |
| 18:59 | < afny> | EVERYONE HATES NAVI |
| 18:59 | < DeathZero> | myself included. |
| 19:00 | < DeathZero> | kill it with fire. |
| 19:00 | < afny> | Majora's Mask handled fairies right |
| 19:00 | < afny> | it was just generally a better game |
| 19:00 | < DeathZero> | ....hates the time travel mechanic. |
| 19:00 | < DeathZero> | the masks were awesome. |
| 19:00 | < afny> | but it's done so well |
| 19:00 | < afny> | it's not grindy |
| 19:00 | < afny> | like you think it'd be |
| 19:00 | < afny> | it's very elegant |
| 19:01 | | * huhwhozat didn't play, unfortunately |
| 19:01 | < afny> | you should |
| 19:01 | < huhwhozat> | I mean to |
| 19:01 | < afny> | have you played any zelda? |
| 19:01 | < DeathZero> | ....bullcrap. having to go and redo quests every time I reset the timeline |
| 19:01 | < afny> | you do not |
| 19:01 | < huhwhozat> | yeah, link to the past and ocarina of time |
| 19:01 | < DeathZero> | felt like grinding to me. |
| 19:01 | < afny> | oh, wow |
| 19:01 | < afny> | yeah you need to play it |
| 19:01 | < afny> | you weren't doing it right :P |
| 19:01 | < afny> | you don't need to redo most of them |
| 19:02 | < DeathZero> | I was following the nintendo guide for that crap. |
| 19:02 | < afny> | :| |
| 19:02 | < afny> | anyway, Windwaker is my favorite zelda game, but |
| 19:02 | < afny> | Majora's Mask is probably the best |
| 19:02 | < afny> | of the 3d ones |
| 19:02 | < DeathZero> | Aside from Navi, OoT is one of my favs |
| 19:02 | < DeathZero> | LttP is my all time fav though. |
| 19:03 | < afny> | I feel like Windwaker made me feel what Zelda 1 and Windwaker did |
| 19:03 | < afny> | but tenfold |
| 19:03 | < afny> | the sense of adventure in that game just punches you in the gut |
| 19:03 | < DeathZero> | either LttP or the original LoZ....I replay em both often enough. |
| 19:03 | < afny> | they're both incredible |
| 19:03 | < huhwhozat> | afny: read that staement again |
| 19:03 | < DeathZero> | I couldn't get past the graphics in WW and Phantom Hourglass. |
| 19:03 | < huhwhozat> | "I feel like Windwaker made me feel what Zelda 1 and Windwaker did" |
| 19:03 | < afny> | er |
| 19:03 | < afny> | zelda 1 and lttp |
| 19:03 | < afny> | *** |
| 19:04 | < huhwhozat> | :P |
| 19:04 | < DeathZero> | lol I noticed that too. Wasn't quite sure what to make of it |
| 19:04 | < afny> | Also, what?! The graphics in windwaker were revolutionary |
| 19:04 | < DeathZero> | I hates cell shaded graphics. |
| 19:04 | < afny> | they hold up better than the graphics in any gamecube game |
| 19:04 | < afny> | why?? |
| 19:04 | < afny> | they're so readable |
| 19:04 | < DeathZero> | too kiddy looking to me. |
| 19:04 | < afny> | :\ |
| 19:04 | < afny> | but you're okay with 16 bit? |
| 19:04 | < afny> | that logic doesn't make any sense to me |
| 19:05 | < afny> | the aesthetics of the NES zelda really shine through those cel shaded graphics |
| 19:05 | < afny> | FAR more so than, say, Twilight Princess |
| 19:05 | < DeathZero> | I thought the twilight princess graphics portrayed the Zelda universe the best. |
| 19:06 | < DeathZero> | I like the more realistic approach with the 3d Zelda games. |
| 19:06 | < afny> | they weren't bad or anything, but I don't think "too kiddy" is a valid dismissal of Windwaker |
| 19:06 | < huhwhozat> | coincidentally, I was just listening to OoT music before this conversation started |
| 19:06 | < afny> | neither one is realistic |
| 19:06 | < afny> | Twilight Princess has like, pixel aliens |
| 19:07 | < afny> | it's the same argument I'd have with a preference for Mechwarrior over Gundam |
| 19:07 | < afny> | one appears, ON THE SURFACE, to be more "realistic" |
| 19:07 | < afny> | but both can be appreciated for their aesthetics, and neither one is ACTUALLY realistic |
| 19:07 | < afny> | one is just grittier, and more brown/. |
| 19:07 | < huhwhozat> | heh |
| 19:07 | < DeathZero> | guess so. |
| 19:08 | < afny> | I also just think Windwaker was a better game |
| 19:08 | < huhwhozat> | the battletech locomotion is certainly more believable to me :P |
| 19:08 | < DeathZero> | 08th MS team ftw. >_> |
| 19:08 | < afny> | "come on baby" |
| 19:08 | < afny> | "do the locomotion" |
| 19:08 | < huhwhozat> | >.> |
| 19:08 | < DeathZero> | XD |
| 19:09 | < huhwhozat> | I couldn't think of a good word for 'not flying' |
| 19:09 | < DeathZero> | was wondering where you were going with that "come on baby" |
| 19:09 | < huhwhozat> | :P |
| 19:09 | < afny> | I was going to |
| 19:09 | < afny> | the locomotion |
| 19:09 | < DeathZero> | I figured that out. |
| 19:09 | < DeathZero> | and laughed, thank you for that. |
| 19:09 | | * afny does the locomotion |
| 19:10 | | * huhwhozat has his point completely derailed |
| 19:10 | < afny> | like, I get that battletech mechs are more "believable" by today's standards |
| 19:10 | < afny> | but I don't really think that adds (or subtracts) from the story, or the aesthetics of the setting |
| 19:10 | < huhwhozat> | certainly |
| 19:10 | < afny> | Gundam might have more unbelievable technology, but it doesn't break suspension of disbelief and manages to tell an interesting story WITH brightly colored flying robots |
| 19:11 | < afny> | battletech, at times, does the same within the confines of it's own setting |
| 19:11 | < afny> | neither one is in the wrong |
| 19:11 | < huhwhozat> | the settings are both well constructed ('cept for the splat material in BT) |
| 19:11 | < afny> | and I feel the same way about Windwaker |
| 19:11 | < afny> | the aesthetics serve the story well |
| 19:11 | < afny> | (and the gameplay, more importantly) |
| 19:11 | < afny> | sorry, I can't get off that topic |
| 19:11 | < afny> | it's like my favorite game ever |
| 19:11 | < DeathZero> | one of the attractions to Gundam for me was how in depth they went. The creators went so far as to come up with the particle composition as to how the tech is possible. |
| 19:11 | < huhwhozat> | the thing is though, if you don't dig the aesthetic, you don't enjoy the game |
| 19:12 | < afny> | I guess? |
| 19:12 | < huhwhozat> | no matter how cohesive, good it is |
| 19:12 | < afny> | that's never been a problem for me, though |
| 19:12 | < afny> | like, I've never stopped BECAUSE of x aesthetic |
| 19:12 | < DeathZero> | yea, if I start playing/watching something and the visual style bothers me, I can't get past that. |
| 19:12 | < huhwhozat> | it does detract from the experience |
| 19:12 | < afny> | it's the content of a story (or bad gameplay) that put me off |
| 19:13 | < afny> | or BAD graphics |
| 19:13 | < huhwhozat> | heh |
| 19:13 | < afny> | but bad graphics and bad aesthetics are two different things |
| 19:13 | < huhwhozat> | true |
| 19:13 | < DeathZero> | they both go in the same category for me. |
| 19:13 | < huhwhozat> | cough (X series) cough |
| 19:13 | < afny> | well they shouldn't! |
| 19:13 | < afny> | bad graphics are graphics that do not serve the game well |
| 19:13 | < afny> | er |
| 19:13 | < afny> | bad AESTHETICS* |
| 19:13 | < afny> | bad graphics are just low resolution |
| 19:14 | < afny> | like quake, or nes zelda, or dark forces or something |
| 19:14 | < huhwhozat> | enh, not really |
| 19:14 | < afny> | sure, ask any modern gamer |
| 19:14 | < afny> | and they'll tell you those games have bad graphics |
| 19:14 | < afny> | they won't know what aesthetics are |
| 19:14 | < huhwhozat> | I don't take the same opinion as modern gamers, generally |
| 19:14 | < afny> | well obviously |
| 19:14 | < afny> | you also hate skype |
| 19:14 | < DeathZero> | in that case then graphics have never bothered me |
| 19:14 | < afny> | you're COOL. |
| 19:14 | < huhwhozat> | haha |
| 19:15 | < DeathZero> | its always the visual style that drives me away |
| 19:15 | < huhwhozat> | see *bad* graphics are gfx with problems, even for the era |
| 19:15 | < afny> | yeah, that's what I think too |
| 19:15 | < afny> | and graphics that don't serve the game well, or are glitchy |
| 19:15 | < afny> | say |
| 19:15 | < afny> | TUROK |
| 19:15 | < huhwhozat> | no tplayed |
| 19:15 | < afny> | yeah |
| 19:15 | < afny> | that's a valid reason for being |
| 19:15 | < huhwhozat> | let's see, trying to think of a good eg |
| 19:15 | < afny> | NOPE |
| 19:16 | < huhwhozat> | besides the X- series |
| 19:16 | < afny> | turok dude |
| 19:16 | < afny> | TUROK |
| 19:16 | < huhwhozat> | sorry, not played :/ |
| 19:16 | < afny> | oh |
| 19:16 | < afny> | well it's awful/. |
| 19:16 | < huhwhozat> | I can tell :P |
| 19:17 | < DeathZero> | yea, it was totally awful. |
| 19:17 | < afny> | I can think of way more games with bad aesthetics |
| 19:17 | < afny> | than I can games with bad graphics |
| 19:17 | < huhwhozat> | same |
| 19:17 | < huhwhozat> | except for early pc games |
| 19:17 | < afny> | yeah, but they tended to make up for it |
| 19:17 | < afny> | Deus Ex, for example |
| 19:17 | < huhwhozat> | a lot of apogee stuf - great gameplay, crappy gfx |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | 'cept for keen |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | and biomenace |
| 19:18 | < afny> | I guess Deus Ex isn't really early by those standards :P |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | nope |
| 19:18 | < afny> | more like Cambrian |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | and yeah, deus ex had .... isues |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | *issues |
| 19:18 | < afny> | but it was pretty groundbreaking |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | but the gameplay was tight |
| 19:18 | < afny> | and worthy despite it's flaws |
| 19:18 | < afny> | er, its* |
| 19:18 | < huhwhozat> | sure |
| 19:19 | < afny> | JC |
| 19:19 | < DeathZero> | never was a big pc gamer. |
| 19:19 | < afny> | ...JC |
| 19:19 | < afny> | ...A BOMB. |
| 19:19 | < afny> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG1qKzIsisU |
| 19:20 | < huhwhozat> | pff |
| 19:20 | < afny> | A BOMB. |
| 19:21 | < DeathZero> | have I have that 46 seconds back now? o_o |
| 19:21 | < DeathZero> | ....ack |
| 19:21 | < DeathZero> | can I have^ |
| 19:22 | < afny> | No. |
| 19:23 | < DeathZero> | aww. |
| 19:24 | < DeathZero> | that was horrible, the guy just stood there, didn't even walk up to the bomb. |
| 19:24 | < afny> | Jc. |
| 19:24 | < afny> | Jc a bomb. |
| 19:24 | < afny> | that's basically Deus Ex in a nutshell |
| 19:24 | < afny> | except you can NOT find the bomb |
| 19:25 | < afny> | there's probably also an option to like |
| 19:25 | < afny> | cut the helicopter in half with a katana |
| 19:25 | < afny> | it's a weird game. |
| 19:25 | < DeathZero> | o_O |
| 19:25 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
| 19:29 | < afny> | welp, now I started listening to Windwaker songs |
| 19:29 | < afny> | overwhelmed with nostalgia |
| 19:29 | < afny> | that wasn't even that long ago |
| 19:30 | < DeathZero> | I'm watching Gundam >_> |
| 19:30 | < afny> | :O What Gundam |
| 19:30 | < afny> | I need to get back into Turn A |
| 19:30 | < afny> | now that I have harddrive space |
| 19:30 | < DeathZero> | I'm watching 00 for the first time. |
| 19:30 | < DeathZero> | I'm not really digging the religious aspect of this one. |
| 19:30 | < huhwhozat> | Setsuna |
| 19:30 | < huhwhozat> | Setsuna F. Seiei |
| 19:31 | < huhwhozat> | I got really tired of hearing that |
| 19:31 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
| 19:31 | < DeathZero> | This is reminding me a lot of Gundam Wing. |
| 19:31 | < afny> | I haven't seen any of 00 |
| 19:31 | < afny> | some of the suits look sweet, though |
| 19:31 | < afny> | as I mentioned before, not a fan of Wing :p\ |
| 19:31 | < DeathZero> | not a fan of wing either. |
| 19:32 | < afny> | all the oz suits are sweet, though |
| 19:32 | < afny> | some of my absolute favorites |
| 19:32 | < DeathZero> | It got me into Gundam, but then I found the Universal Century series. |
| 19:32 | < afny> | I don't think Wing is TERRIBLE |
| 19:32 | < afny> | I just think it didn't go far enough |
| 19:32 | < afny> | it didn't get its hands dirty |
| 19:33 | < DeathZero> | I didn't think the storyline was very good. |
| 19:33 | < DeathZero> | That...and I haaate...Relena. |
| 19:33 | < DeathZero> | kill that bitch. |
| 19:33 | < DeathZero> | kill her dead. |
| 19:34 | < DeathZero> | need more 08th ms team. |
| 19:34 | < afny> | oh shit this is the best song |
| 19:35 | < afny> | it's this song |
| 19:35 | < afny> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRv8gnBMiWM |
| 19:35 | < afny> | at the intro |
| 19:35 | < afny> | this is a great video regardless |
| 19:35 | < afny> | anyway |
| 19:35 | < afny> | I actually kind of like Endless Waltz :| |
| 19:36 | < DeathZero> | The gundams themselves look awesome. |
| 19:36 | < afny> | only the Katoki versions |
| 19:37 | < DeathZero> | The look of everything in Wing was awesome. The annoying characters and what I saw as the lack of a good storyline drove me away from it. |
| 19:38 | < afny> | for instance |
| 19:38 | < afny> | the Katoki deathscythe |
| 19:38 | < afny> | http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/xxxg-01d.jpg |
| 19:38 | < DeathZero> | Yea, seen those before. |
| 19:39 | < DeathZero> | definitely better looking. |
| 19:39 | < afny> | he did all the oz suits, which they left in |
| 19:39 | < DeathZero> | I still hate Sandrock. |
| 19:40 | < afny> | are you kidding me |
| 19:40 | < afny> | http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/xxxg-01sr.jpg |
| 19:40 | < DeathZero> | still looks *insert my favorite pejorative* to me |
| 19:40 | < afny> | :P |
| 19:40 | < DeathZero> | Deathscythe ftw. |
| 19:41 | < DeathZero> | heck, I like em all, cept Sandrock, just always hated that one. |
| 19:41 | < afny> | to be honest that series would've been much better served if Trowa and Quatre just got a room |
| 19:42 | < DeathZero> | or if they would have written them out <_< |
| 19:42 | < afny> | also, Quatre being white was just weird |
| 19:42 | < afny> | Trowa was an interesting concept |
| 19:42 | < afny> | they just wrote him like cardboard, sadly |
| 19:43 | < afny> | kind of a problem with most Wing characters I guess :\ |
| 19:43 | < afny> | interesting starting points, no development |
| 19:43 | < DeathZero> | I had no interest in that character from the get go. |
| 19:44 | < DeathZero> | I guess the only one with a personality I could really get behind was Duo. |
| 19:44 | < DeathZero> | Heero was too suicidal, but they did the raised to be a soldier concept well with him. |
| 19:45 | < afny> | I think Trowa's origin story is the most interesting |
| 19:45 | < DeathZero> | Wufei...he was ok, just not my cup of tea with his beating himself up all the time. |
| 19:45 | < DeathZero> | trowa did have an interesting story. |
| 19:45 | < afny> | basically the opposite of Heero |
| 19:45 | < afny> | a moral realist |
| 19:45 | < afny> | and kind of an opportunist |
| 19:46 | < afny> | but he literally doesn't develop at all |
| 19:46 | < DeathZero> | I liked all Duo's background. |
