| 00:00 | < Madness> | 'cause there's a lot of decorated slopes |
| 00:00 | < Madness> | that are somewhat badass if you can combine them right |
| 00:01 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 00:02 | < Soren> | I snagged some nice brown and dark grey patterned wedges out of a Star Wars set that are great |
| 00:03 | < Madness> | stupid search shows me the wedge antilles helmet. |
| 00:03 | < Madness> | not THAT wedge. |
| 00:03 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48933pb09 and http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48933pb08 |
| 00:04 | < Madness> | hawt. |
| 00:04 | < Madness> | Specially because you can see the rough oldschool texture of the plastic. |
| 00:05 | < othila> | Yes, I'm a big fan of that rough texture |
| 00:05 | < othila> | all my mainline frames use it |
| 00:06 | < Madness> | Yeah that's something that the curved slope kinda loses. |
| 00:06 | < othila> | it all depends on the aesthetic you're shooting for |
| 00:06 | < othila> | A Chub is high quality military hardware. Sleek is good. |
| 00:06 | < othila> | My mainline frames are all shitty micronational homebrew efforts |
| 00:07 | < othila> | so I like the rough textures. |
| 00:07 | < Madness> | oth, do you have a flickr profile? |
| 00:08 | < Madness> | Wait a chub is what? |
| 00:08 | < othila> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/ |
| 00:08 | < othila> | HIGH QUALITY MILITARY HARDWARE. |
| 00:08 | < Madness> | I thought the uhhm what's the name, the one with the stop sign on the shoulder, was supposed to be the high quality one, and the chubs were free nation repurposed thingies. |
| 00:09 | < Madness> | wow your latest mecha reminds me a lot of guilty gear's Justice. |
| 00:10 | < othila> | You mean the Osprey? |
| 00:10 | < othila> | I guess that's higher quality military hardware, but even a standard Chub is pretty cutting edge |
| 00:10 | < Madness> | Yeah I mean the Osprey. |
| 00:10 | < othila> | compared to a Commissar |
| 00:11 | < Madness> | What about longlegs? |
| 00:11 | < Madness> | dude, if envy could kill. |
| 00:11 | < Madness> | Last time I ask someone's flickr page. |
| 00:11 | < othila> | Hi-legs? Soren is the person to ask about specifics, but the Hi-Leg is like the Chub in that it's purpose built for combat |
| 00:12 | < othila> | the material for the construction of a basic hi-leg is probably more easily obtainable than the material for a Chub, though |
| 00:12 | < othila> | the pattern and control software as well |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | also, half as many joints. |
| 00:12 | < othila> | DEY GOT NO ARMS. |
| 00:12 | < othila> | NO ARRRRRMS. |
| 00:12 | < Madness> | I see. So basically there's not a lot of Free Nation models artwork. |
| 00:12 | < Madness> | Yeah we could repurpose t-rex jokes and sub in a hi-leg. |
| 00:13 | < Soren> | I don't think we ever came right out and said it, but you can make two Hi-Legs from a downed Chub, and I bet it happens all the time. |
| 00:14 | < Madness> | Soren, I look forward to your execution for treason. |
| 00:14 | < othila> | just for reference |
| 00:14 | < othila> | http://nobsjustabs.wordpress.com/instructions/mecha-frames/ |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | Oh, I expect to be executed for something much funnier than treason. |
| 00:15 | < othila> | the Hi-Leg and the Conscript entries on this blog have photo breakdowns of two versions of both frames, so |
| 00:15 | < othila> | have at it |
| 00:15 | < othila> | the Commissar (refitted Conscript) is probably the "repurposed thingies" you were looking for |
| 00:16 | < Madness> | I wasn't really looking for as much as I was browsing around for more lore. |
| 00:16 | < Madness> | I'm a lore prostitute. |
| 00:16 | < othila> | plus I think Soren's breakdown pictures are just more interesting than the book instructions |
| 00:16 | < othila> | oh, yeah |
| 00:16 | < Madness> | Which doesn't rhyme because I'm a rebel. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | Also, the Conscript is designed to be ridiculously cheap to build. Bag of taps, bag of clips, have at it. |
| 00:16 | < othila> | the conscript and hi-leg (and their respective variants) are the standard Free Colonial frames |
| 00:17 | < Madness> | oh, I see, so basically we have 2 models per faction. |
| 00:17 | < othila> | the reality is that there are an unlimited number of models per faction |
| 00:17 | < othila> | but sure |
| 00:18 | < Madness> | Not considering that lore-wise there's a lot of theft going around, so there's surely a bunch of chubs in ijad and free colonies squads too. |
| 00:18 | < Madness> | yeah of course, I meant in the manual. |
| 00:18 | < othila> | oh |
| 00:18 | < othila> | um |
| 00:18 | < othila> | maybe? |
| 00:18 | < othila> | I...didn't actually read through all of the instruction bits in the finished draft... |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | yes, there are. |
| 00:19 | < Madness> | iinm the only frames depticted there are the hi leg, the conscript, the osprey the chub, the crawler and the other ijad taller one. |
| 00:20 | < Madness> | err scrambler not crawler. |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | I have a bunch of variants just hanging around, though |
| 00:21 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zks2t8b5z9a91r/I-ST-02F%20Stink%20Eye.JPG |
| 00:21 | < Madness> | no one ever doubted that for a second :D |

| 00:22 | < Madness> | Ok the super strider is scary shit. |
| 00:22 | < othila> | check out the super strider variant in his Moonfang Tribe |
| 00:22 | < Soren> | I had a lot of fun making those guys. |
| 00:23 | < othila> | like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/7155179829/in/photostream |
| 00:26 | < othila> | oh god my displays are having a seizure |
| 00:26 | < Madness> | uhm, the picture is private. |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | fixed. |
| 00:27 | < othila> | oh, I think I meant to link this one anyway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/7340363368/in/photostream |
| 00:27 | < othila> | but the man behind the curtain is here, so |
| 00:27 | < othila> | no big |
| 00:27 | < Madness> | uuh, the hex missile design is clever. |
| 00:28 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdygp75xzm6y9o7/White%20Devil%20Camo.JPG This guy isn't all that much of a variant, but i still like him. |
| 00:29 | < othila> | I |
| 00:29 | < othila> | 've always been a fan of that ablative armor |
| 00:29 | < othila> | I liked it on the orange ones, too |
| 00:29 | < othila> | also, I do the restarting now |
| 00:29 | < Madness> | I can't see anything in that picture, just trees. |

| 00:36 | < othila> | balls |
| 00:36 | < othila> | that didn't work |
| 00:36 | < othila> | time to roll back |
| 00:40 | < othila> | I'm going to go feel up my Bespins |
| 00:40 | < othila> | that'll make me feel better. |
| 01:00 | < othila> | fucksake |
| 01:00 | < othila> | downgrading fixed it. |
| 01:10 | < Soren> | weird |
| 01:15 | < othila> | Spring still works, too, so I guess I made the right compromise |
| 01:15 | < othila> | I'm too burnt out to cook dinner, so I'm going to heat up rice, beans, and hot sauce |
| 01:15 | < othila> | tastes like victory. |
| 01:15 | < Soren> | You know, I think that is acceptable. |
| 01:16 | < Soren> | if you have cheese, might as well do the full victory lap. |
| 01:16 | < othila> | I could grate up some deli sliced pepperjack for the occasion |
| 01:16 | < othila> | anything better and I'd feel ashamed. |
| 01:18 | < Soren> | nah, you need grungy cheese for this. |
| 01:18 | < Soren> | no shame needed. |
| 01:19 | < othila> | no no, you misunderstand |
| 01:19 | < othila> | I'd feel shame if the cheese was GOOD |
| 01:19 | < othila> | I'm going for the bottom shelf |
| 01:28 | < Soren> | yeah, I'm with you there. |

| 16:16 | < Madness> | heh. :) |
| 16:16 | < Madness> | I'd help but I don't code with anything that uses varchars anymore. :P |
