| 00:02 | < Rex> | Jesus, I'm being spammed with friend requests on Skype. |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | What did you do? :D |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | mraichelson, Ray! |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | HVAs and new fleet posted! :) |
| 00:03 | | * mraichelson salutes |
| 00:03 | < Rex> | No clue, but it's annoying. |
| 00:03 | < mraichelson> | mm, ijad-y |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, Ray, I have 1 game 1vs1 between two newbies, and one partial three player game with 4 stations and 15 frames. |
| 00:04 | < Rex> | Your miniframes are super cute. |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Does the partial game count as a battle report if there's 3 pictures? |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Because I have deployment, round 1, round 2. |
| 00:04 | < mraichelson> | you made the little angly holder bases too. |
| 00:04 | < Rex> | Only if you make it good? |
| 00:04 | | * mraichelson will steal that idea some day |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I also make 'em good. |
| 00:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Mike/Rex: Wait until you'll see my micro-Conscripts led by a micro-Comissar. |
| 00:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Cute overload. |
| 00:05 | < Ced23Ric> | But, yeah. Making micro-frames is so much fun. :D |
| 00:05 | < Ced23Ric> | And the angly holder things are super practical. |
| 00:05 | < mraichelson> | is the hvas/asteroids one the ones with the modulex stuff? |
| 00:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp! |
| 00:07 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 00:07 | < mraichelson> | nice, looks good |
| 00:08 | < Ced23Ric> | It's the best way for containers. |
| 00:08 | < Ced23Ric> | LEGO bricks would have been too big. |
| 00:10 | < Rex> | What's a modulex? |
| 00:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Modulex is the crazy idea of a LEGO CEO back in the late 60ies/early 70ies. |
| 00:11 | < Ced23Ric> | He was all like: "I wanna build my house, but our bricks suck for that." |
| 00:11 | < Rex> | Oh, I remember you saying something about that. |
| 00:11 | < Rex> | Crazy rich people. |
| 00:11 | < Ced23Ric> | So he ordered the guys at fabrication to make new bricks. Different size, aspect ratio, etc. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Then, it was spun off as "LEGO for architects". |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Those didn't use it, but industrial planners did. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | In the end, it kind of died away, but there is still bricks on the market. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Crazy angles, odd colours, and you can only use them in odd combinations. |
| 00:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Those 1x2 tiles there are stuffed over clip tiles. |
| 00:13 | < Rex> | They look nice though. |
| 00:13 | < Ced23Ric> | And the 1x4 tiles (black) are stuffed into those 1x2 LEGO grill pieces. |
| 00:13 | < Rex> | As it turns out, I suck at building ships. |
| 00:13 | < Ced23Ric> | I had to push some material inwards with a flat blade, so the Modulex would have grip. |
| 00:13 | < Ced23Ric> | So there is some mild build heresy involved. |
| 00:13 | < Ced23Ric> | Dude, I suck at ships, too. |
| 00:14 | < Rex> | Bullshit |
| 00:14 | < Ced23Ric> | What I have is the result at weeks of research, and trying, tossing, trying, tossing. |
| 00:14 | < Ced23Ric> | I have an entire folder full of half-concepted hulls, shapes, part combos and what not. |
| 00:14 | < Ced23Ric> | And many more that I aborted without saving them. |
| 00:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Because I really suck at ships. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | So I do the shotgun approach. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Eventually, one pellet hits. ;) |
| 00:15 | < Rex> | It's all relative. |
| 00:15 | < Rex> | From my perspective, you're a pro. |
| 00:16 | < Ced23Ric> | And without Soren's glorious base designs, the Ijad fleet would have looked a lot more derpy. |
| 00:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Eh, I know how to LDD, really. |
| 00:16 | < Ced23Ric> | My "skill" is parts inventory and connection knowledge. |
| 00:16 | < Ced23Ric> | I am more of a technician than a designer. ;) |
| 00:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh boy, it's 1:15am already. |
| 00:17 | < Ced23Ric> | ... I won't get to do the battle reports tonight. |
| 00:17 | < Ced23Ric> | That's easily another hour of picture editing. |

| 00:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Anyway, I am superpooped. Been 6h15 and that store, talking nonstop without a drink, and got up at 9am. I'll go curl up and get some rest. Battle reports tomorrow. |
| 00:21 | < Rex> | Cute! |
| 00:21 | < Ced23Ric> | -and +at |
| 00:21 | < Rex> | Man, I'm a sucker for cute stuff. |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | I know, me too. |
| 00:22 | < Rex> | Hey |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | My power armoured infantry still makes everyone giddy. |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Whenever I set those up, people are super bummed they aren't for play. |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Yah? |
| 00:22 | < Rex> | Would you mind helping me out a little with my current project later? |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Not at all. |
| 00:22 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll be around tomorrow, nothing on my schedule. |
| 00:22 | < Rex> | Cool, thanks. |
| 00:23 | < Rex> | It isn't anything big. |
| 00:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Have a good one, Rex. |
| 00:23 | < Rex> | Take care. |

| 06:34 | < Rex> | Hey |
| 06:34 | < Rex> | Sorry, was busy. |
| 06:35 | < Rex> | What are you up to? |
| 06:36 | < MittenNinja> | workin |
| 06:37 | < Rex> | Right now? |
| 06:37 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 06:38 | < Rex> | Bummer |
| 06:39 | < Rex> | I'm having a hell of a time with this build. |
| 06:39 | < Rex> | I'm trying to make some 90's Aqua Shark based frames. |
| 06:40 | < Rex> | I like it, but it kind of feels cheap that I'm really not innovating, if that makes sense. |
| 06:41 | < MittenNinja> | yeah that makes sense |
| 06:42 | < MittenNinja> | sometimes, though, innovation isnt necessary |
| 06:43 | < Rex> | Fair enough. |
| 06:43 | < Rex> | Are you building anything fun? |
| 06:49 | < MittenNinja> | i havent had a whole lot of time since the con |
| 06:49 | < Rex> | Dang |
| 06:49 | < MittenNinja> | im planning on starting to put together some IO stuff soon though |
| 06:51 | < Rex> | That's cool. Which faction are you thinking about starting with? |
| 06:51 | < MittenNinja> | probably working on ships to go with my serpent legion |
| 06:55 | < Rex> | That works. |
| 06:55 | < MittenNinja> | yeah. theyre my go to company, so i might as well give em ships too |
| 06:57 | < MittenNinja> | i still have a few companies left over from DCC that im going to be selling too. |
| 06:58 | < MittenNinja> | im probably going to use that money to fund my fleet |
| 07:03 | < Rex> | And they're tan? |
| 07:06 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 07:08 | < MittenNinja> | https://m.facebook.com/thetransitgate/photos/pb.633329296738416.-2207520000.1403 417283./643601879044491/?type=1&source=42 |
| 07:09 | < Rex> | I was planning on buying some tan ones, but these blue ones are cool too. |
| 07:10 | < MittenNinja> | there are a lot of really solid color options out there |
| 07:10 | < Rex> | True! |
| 07:11 | < Rex> | http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Sierra/media/AquaSharksv2_zps2155bd6b.pn g.html?sort=3&o=0 |
| 07:11 | < Rex> | That's where I am currently. |
| 07:12 | < MittenNinja> | not bad man |
| 07:15 | < MittenNinja> | i think i might flip those chest pieces around though. make the thicker part on the bottom. |
| 07:15 | < MittenNinja> | personal preference |
| 07:18 | < Rex> | http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Sierra/media/Lineup_zps28ff7eed.png.html ?sort=3&o=0 |
| 07:18 | < Rex> | That should be a better view. |
| 07:18 | < Rex> | I agree, but the curved one extends past a bit and might get in the way of the head. |
| 07:19 | < Rex> | Or I could just use the shoulder ones and bypass that. |
| 07:20 | < MittenNinja> | yeah just use the same one as the guy with the harpoon thing |
| 07:20 | < MittenNinja> | that shouldn't get in the way |
| 07:23 | < Rex> | Yeah |
| 07:26 | < Rex> | I'm afraid I'm going to have to take that "not bad" as some high praise, considering the source. |
| 07:29 | < MittenNinja> | i think my only gripes about them are the black and the potential fiddly-ness of the limbs. the black may look rather washed out in the brick without enough contrast, and the joints may make them quite fragile |
| 07:30 | < MittenNinja> | although my build style tends towards more stable construction over articulation |
| 07:31 | < Rex> | I'll have to wait until I physically have them to know at all. |
| 07:32 | < Rex> | I'm hoping I can rebuild the sets I have from it. |
| 07:35 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, thats one reason why i dont like building in ldd |
| 07:36 | < Rex> | In all honesty the chest is ripped from a chub and the arms are super chub. |
| 07:37 | < MittenNinja> | the chest im not worried about at all. |
| 07:37 | < Rex> | So I guess it's fine enough at this stage. |
| 07:38 | < MittenNinja> | the super chub is cool and all, but unless all the parts you have are pretty much brand new and grip really well, they may not hold position very well. |
| 07:40 | < Rex> | A valid point. My old bricks are sometimes loose. |
| 07:41 | < Rex> | I was honestly thinking about fixing certain pieces together, though that still doesn't help overall if I want anything more than statues. |
| 07:48 | < MittenNinja> | i really think the standard chub is the perfect blend of posability and stability |
| 07:51 | < Rex> | It has no elbows thoughhh... |
| 07:59 | < MittenNinja> | sure it does. they just dont move |
| 07:59 | < Rex> | You know, I really can't tell if that was a joke or not. |
| 08:00 | < Rex> | But I found that really funny for some reason. |
| 08:02 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
| 08:03 | < MittenNinja> | it wasn't meant as one |
| 08:03 | < MittenNinja> | but hey, if it gets a laugh i wont complain |
| 08:05 | < Rex> | ;p |
| 08:05 | < Rex> | So how did you like Destiny? I think the alpha ended. |
| 08:07 | < MittenNinja> | yeah it did. |
| 08:07 | < MittenNinja> | i was impressed |
| 08:08 | < MittenNinja> | the controls were tight, the gameplay fluid, the multiplayer was solid, and the singleplayer was adequate for the small sliver of what they had. |
| 08:09 | < Rex> | Which class did you like? I think I asked, but I can't recall. |
| 08:09 | < MittenNinja> | if they can continue that throughout the singleplayer experience theyve got an amazing game on their hands |
| 08:09 | < MittenNinja> | either titan or hunter |
| 08:09 | < MittenNinja> | wasnt a huge fan of the warlock, mainly due to their special jump ability |
| 08:10 | < Rex> | Which one was that? |
| 08:10 | < MittenNinja> | the glide |
| 08:10 | < Rex> | Glide or something? |
| 08:10 | < Rex> | Hm |
| 08:10 | < MittenNinja> | its not very intuitive in combat. and not any more useful than the other two outside of it |
| 08:11 | < Rex> | I kind of want to splurge and buy a system just for the beta. |
| 08:11 | < Rex> | How irresponsible of me. |
| 08:11 | < MittenNinja> | get a ps4 |
| 08:11 | < MittenNinja> | all the timed exclusives are for sony |
| 08:11 | < Rex> | I want that white ps4 though. Gotta wait for it. |
| 08:11 | < Rex> | It's so pretty. |
| 08:11 | < MittenNinja> | and it's not a month delay like COD |
| 08:11 | < MittenNinja> | its a friggin year |
| 08:12 | < Rex> | wat |
| 08:12 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 08:12 | < Rex> | Is that just for the exclusive items? |
| 08:12 | < MittenNinja> | at launch sony gets an exclusive mp map, strike mission, two weapons, and three sets of armor |
| 08:12 | < Rex> | sheeeeit |
| 08:12 | < MittenNinja> | xbox doesnt get them until fall of 2015 |
| 08:13 | < Rex> | That's some bull. |
| 08:13 | < MittenNinja> | nah that's bungie knowing which system is superior |
| 08:13 | < Rex> | Though I guess while it sucks for consumers, it's an effective marketing technique. |
| 08:14 | < Rex> | I just have exclusives period. |
| 08:14 | < Rex> | Hate, rather. |
| 08:14 | < MittenNinja> | there is a reason why the ps4 has been furiously outselling xbox ones |
| 08:14 | < MittenNinja> | and it's not exclusives |
| 08:14 | < MittenNinja> | elder scrolls online got pushed back because xbox one is having issues running it |
| 08:15 | < Rex> | I assumed it was because of Microsoft's atrocious E3 conference last year where they were all "TV TV TV sports sports sports Kinect...oh here's the dog from CoD." |
| 08:15 | < MittenNinja> | cod ghosts, which isnt even a true next gen game, cant even run at native 1080p on the one |
| 08:16 | < Rex> | Apparently they can run better using the dedicated memory for Kinect. |
| 08:16 | < Rex> | But I don't much care. |
| 08:16 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, but then you cant do 80% of the shit they advertise about the system being able to do |
| 08:16 | < MittenNinja> | and you cant play half of their games because they use the kinect |
| 08:16 | < Rex> | PS4 sold me, and I'll probably pick up an Xbone sometime down the road. |
| 08:17 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 08:17 | < MittenNinja> | ps4 is more powerful, more stable, and cheaper |
| 08:17 | < Rex> | Seriously, that white console though. |
| 08:17 | < Rex> | Not cheaper anymore! |
| 08:17 | < MittenNinja> | yes it is |
| 08:17 | < Rex> | They're both 400$ as of 2 weeks ago. |
| 08:18 | < MittenNinja> | yeah but then you dont get the kinect |
| 08:18 | < Rex> | Who wants it though? |
| 08:18 | < MittenNinja> | people who want to play more than cod |
| 08:18 | < MittenNinja> | there are a lot of games that have kinect functionality. |
| 08:18 | < Rex> | The vast majority of games aren't exclusive and only a few interesting ones imo are exclusive. |
| 08:19 | < MittenNinja> | and half of the cool shit the one can do requires the kinect |
| 08:20 | < Rex> | The Order shows potential, and...I dunno, I'm only excited for Mirror's Edge and destiny right now. |
| 08:20 | < Rex> | Witcher 3 would be cool. |
| 08:21 | < MittenNinja> | the order could be amazing |
| 08:21 | < MittenNinja> | honestly, destiny is the one game i will be playing 90% of the time |
| 08:21 | < Rex> | It's hard to argue with that. |
| 08:21 | < MittenNinja> | the lifespan of the game is planned to be 10 years |
| 08:22 | < MittenNinja> | with new content every day |
| 08:22 | < Rex> | The game play did look dull, so I hope they fix that, and I hope the monsters are cool. |
| 08:22 | < Rex> | I'm a sucker for monsters. |
| 08:22 | < Rex> | And robots. |
| 08:22 | < MittenNinja> | once you start playing, its not dull |
| 08:22 | < Rex> | I meant The Order. |
| 08:22 | < MittenNinja> | ah |
| 08:22 | < Rex> | I think they pushed it back a little. |
| 08:23 | < Rex> | I don't recall though. |
| 08:23 | < MittenNinja> | im not sure |
| 08:23 | < MittenNinja> | i dodnt really pay attention to the release date |
| 08:24 | < MittenNinja> | the destiny beta starts in about a month, so ill be sucked into that |
| 08:24 | < Rex> | Oh, how did you feel on the ghost's voice? People kept complaining and rumor has it that it's all placeholder voice work. |
| 08:24 | < MittenNinja> | i had no issues with it |
| 08:24 | < Rex> | Rumors are just that though. |
| 08:24 | < MittenNinja> | i didnt hear anything worth complaining about |
| 08:25 | < Rex> | I see. |
| 08:26 | < MittenNinja> | i think part of it too is the fact that i understand what alpha means |
| 08:26 | < MittenNinja> | a lot of people dont |
| 08:27 | < MittenNinja> | placeholders for voiceovers in an alpha, or beta even, are completely acceptable |
| 08:27 | < MittenNinja> | its not the finished product |
| 08:28 | < Rex> | True |
| 08:29 | < MittenNinja> | there are too many people that play open betas and then complain because things arent polished, or there are missing aspects |
| 08:30 | < Rex> | I think it's because everyone thinks "oh it's that guy from Game of Thrones blah blah" and hold him up or something. |
| 08:34 | < MittenNinja> | could be |

| 09:49 | < Rex> | So, can you explain the Ijad to me? |
| 09:51 | < Rex> | I kind of get a Stargate feel. |
| 09:52 | < Rex> | Are they parasites or symbiotes? |
| 10:57 | < Ceddo> | Back. |
| 10:57 | < Ceddo> | Yes, I can. |
| 10:57 | < Ceddo> | Ijad! |
| 10:57 | < Ceddo> | Ijad are latch-on snails with a pair of long antennas. |
| 10:57 | < Ceddo> | They are sentient entities that communicate via touch. |
| 10:58 | < Ceddo> | When attached, they share the body of the host, bestowing the hosts with their knowledge, skills and sensory information. |
| 10:58 | < Ceddo> | The joining process is mostly done willingly or at least favourably. |
| 10:59 | < Ceddo> | When fused with humans, both personalities exist, neither is suppressed. |
| 10:59 | < Ceddo> | It's like having an imaginary friend that gives you the ability to do ... carpentry or whatever they have learnt elsewhere. |
| 10:59 | < Ceddo> | So, in short, they are symbiotic. |
| 11:00 | < Ceddo> | The Ijad needs the host for protection and expanded movement, the host benefits from the expanded skillset and sensory abilities. |
| 11:00 | < Ceddo> | Natively, Ijad latch on to Ghanats, quadruped primates. Which is why the Scramblers are quadrupeds. |
| 11:00 | < Ceddo> | But they can also latch on to humans. |
| 11:00 | < Ceddo> | I like to think of them as "coprocessors" and "memory banks". |
| 11:01 | < Ceddo> | They can also work as a handy internal alarm clock, suppress fear/anger/confusion, assist in inner monologues or problem solving, etc. |

| 18:40 | < Soren> | Oh, you poor bastard. |
| 18:40 | < Soren> | I mean, itās a good call. It works well. |
| 18:40 | < Soren> | BUt itās the kind of endless task that drives good men to madness. |
| 18:40 | < Ceddo> | It*s just that I am finally finding the energy to sort through a destroyed 15 frame game of 2 years ago. |
| 18:42 | < Ceddo> | I am also seperating grey and bley. |

| 19:48 | < Rex> | Planetary Annihilation for 17 USD on Steam. |
| 19:48 | < Rex> | Neat |
| 19:48 | < Soren> | Yes, buy it. |
| 19:48 | < Soren> | ITās a fantastic game. |
| 19:50 | < Rex> | I hear it slows down a lot after half an hour of play? |
| 19:51 | < Soren> | Depends on the player. |
| 19:51 | < Soren> | Ideally you should be ramping up to game-ending superweapons to prevent that. |
| 19:52 | < Rex> | I remember a friend telling me something about how in the alpha it was connected to the internet and it got slow after a while because it had to deal with servers or something. |
| 19:53 | < Soren> | Theyāve done a lot of optimization since then. |
| 19:53 | < Rex> | I probably would buy it anyways. |

| 19:54 | < Soren> | Witht he Galactic War functionality in there, itās hard to see a downside. |
| 20:00 | < Rex> | I don't know what that is. |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | http://www.uberent.com/pa/2014/05/22/galactic-war-begins/ |
| 20:02 | < Rex> | Oh |
| 20:05 | < Rex> | Watching some trailers and gameplay, it really is Total Annihilation. |
| 20:06 | < Soren> | Absolutely. |
| 20:06 | < Soren> | In the best ways. |
| 20:16 | < Rex> | Galactic War is basically Sins with TA gameplay. |
| 20:16 | < Rex> | Oh jeeze. |
| 20:20 | < Ceddo> | Will I like that game, Soren= |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | I think youāll like it a lot. |
| 20:20 | < Ceddo> | Rex: Ijad can communicate. They don't talk - they project their voices into the heads of their hosts. |
| 20:20 | < Ceddo> | At least, that's what I gathered. |
| 20:23 | < Soren> | I donāt think we said, yeah. |
| 20:25 | < Rex> | I see. |
| 20:26 | < Soren> | In general, I try not to go into the details of how the obvious nonsense portions of the universe work. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | Joshua probably would be happy to try to explain it. |
| 20:48 | < Rex> | Borderlands 2 is on sale, I wonder if that's any good. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | Rex. general autosaged to 404. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | Posting a new one. |
| 21:11 | < Rex> | Oh shit, what? |
| 21:11 | < Rex> | I was in there an hour ago. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | It got to 305 replies. |
| 21:12 | < Rex> | At least we get the battle report now, yes? |
| 21:13 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, as soon as all this shit behind me is bagged up. |
| 21:19 | < Rex> | Nice |
| 21:30 | < Rex> | I've been watching Evangelion over lately. |
| 21:30 | < Rex> | It's a lot better than I remember. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Now I am a bit angry at LFoW. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Because he's wrong. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | :/ |
| 21:32 | < Soren> | ? |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | He is advocating different frame and system count for demoteams. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Because otherwise the game would be unfair and broken. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | ... which couldn't be further from the truth. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | He's a good builder, though. |
| 21:34 | < Rex> | That didn't make sense to me either. |
| 21:34 | < Soren> | I think the best way to determine whose demo setup is good is to observe them in action, running demos. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | I'm getting wicked receptions. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | People love it. |
| 21:34 | < Soren> | I have considerable confidence in my setup. |
| 21:35 | < Soren> | I bet. |
| 21:35 | < Ceddo> | .. but then again, they don't know the difference, right? |
| 21:35 | < Soren> | No, people can tell bad from good most of the time. |
| 21:35 | < Soren> | Vincent did a very good job of setting up a demo scenario. I did my best not to fuck with it. |
| 21:36 | < Soren> | And it works great. |
| 21:54 | < Rex> | Does AT Field seriously stand for Absolute Terror Field? |
| 21:55 | < Soren> | Yes. |
| 21:56 | < Rex> | Wow |
| 21:56 | < Soren> | In general, if you ask āis <bullshit nonsense> actually <bullshit nonsense>?ā when talking about giant robots? |
| 21:56 | < Soren> | The answer will be āYes. Yes it is.ā |
| 21:56 | < Rex> | That's kind of dumb. |
| 21:56 | < Rex> | Fair enough. |
| 21:57 | < Soren> | Iāve always considered it to be part of the genreās charm, but it is. |
| 21:57 | < Soren> | Itās quite, quite dumb. |
| 22:00 | < Rex> | I don't see the connection between the name and what it is. |

| 22:13 | < Rex> | Hey Ced, are you still around? |
| 22:39 | < Ceddo> | Am now. |
| 22:39 | < Ceddo> | Had some noms. |
| 22:39 | < Ceddo> | What's up, Rex? |
| 22:40 | < Rex> | I know it's getting kind of late for you, but I wanted some opinions on this. |
| 22:40 | < Rex> | This was the thing from yesterday. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | Shoot! |
| 22:41 | < Rex> | http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Sierra/media/AquaSharksv2_zps2155bd6b.pn g.html?sort=3&o=1 |
| 22:41 | < Rex> | I don't really have access in LDD to the special printed pieces, sadly. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | Okay, so aqua sharks. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, but I can guess. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | Those look solid. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | It's a unified theme and decent execution. |
| 22:43 | < Ceddo> | Personally, I'd probably find some lighter elements for better visibility, but Aqua Sharks wasn't such a set. |
| 22:43 | < Rex> | I'm not too sure on the colors, mainly. |
| 22:43 | < Rex> | Yeah... |
| 22:43 | < Rex> | I was thinking of throwing some bley in there. |
| 22:43 | < Ceddo> | The longer I build, the more I find a dark superstructure with light accents appealing. |
| 22:44 | < Ceddo> | But that is personal preference. |
| 22:44 | < Rex> | I already have those grill pieces on the back in bley, but I'm trying to incorporate more underwatery stuff into them. |
| 22:44 | < Ceddo> | As for the battle reports ... I have an hour and a bit before it's bingo fuel for me. |
| 22:44 | < Ceddo> | I'll try and get them done. |
| 22:45 | < Rex> | Like the1x2 bar plates and octagonal things. |
| 22:45 | < Rex> | http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Sierra/media/Lineup_zps28ff7eed.png.html ?sort=3&o=0 |
| 22:46 | < Rex> | that's a better picture. |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | Okay, let's see if I can recall the first game from memory ... |
| 23:21 | < Ceddo> | Okay, first BR is on the general. |
| 23:30 | < Rex> | This flex tool is a pain in the ass. |
| 23:30 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, which is why I don't use it. |
| 23:31 | < Ceddo> | I just ... put them on straight as a reminder that I want to use hoses/chains. |
| 23:31 | < Ceddo> | And then I do the rest in the brick. |
| 23:59 | < Rex> | I suppose. |
