| 05:34 | < Rex> | I figured out why I hated Evangelion. |
| 05:35 | < Rex> | Episode 20 when he's dissolved in the cockpit goop was the first episode I saw. |
| 05:36 | < Rex> | And in most of the episodes he's kind of a wimp. |
| 05:36 | < Rex> | So bad first impression, I suppose. |

| 05:57 | < MittenNinja> | sup |
| 05:57 | < Rex> | Heyo |
| 05:58 | < Rex> | I preordered a PS4 earlier. |
| 05:58 | < MittenNinja> | hows it goin? |
| 05:58 | < MittenNinja> | nice! |
| 05:58 | < Rex> | The sexy white Destiny bundle one. |
| 05:58 | < MittenNinja> | im not gonna lie, im a little jealous |
| 05:58 | < MittenNinja> | the white ones are sexy |
| 05:59 | < Rex> | It's goin' pretty good, I guess. I mean, I'm having some monetary issues for a while, but they should pass within the month, so I'm pretty excited. |
| 06:00 | < Rex> | Saving up for a console and all of these other responsibility things draining my funds. |
| 06:00 | < Rex> | Such a drag. |
| 06:00 | < Rex> | How're you doing? |
| 06:02 | < MittenNinja> | pretty good. finally getting around to doing a little more building |
| 06:02 | < Rex> | That's always good. |
| 06:04 | < Rex> | Ced made a frame recently that would look good with your Iguanas. |
| 06:04 | < Rex> | Probably |
| 06:04 | < MittenNinja> | yeah? which one? |
| 06:05 | < Rex> | He made it today I guess? I dunno, I don't have this Flickr thing saved. |
| 06:05 | < Rex> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/79277138@N08/ |
| 06:07 | < MittenNinja> | hmmm |
| 06:07 | < MittenNinja> | looks like its based off sorens hardball |
| 06:17 | < Rex> | Maybe |
| 06:17 | < Rex> | I've come to the conclusion that I'm a very ambitious man. |
| 06:25 | < MittenNinja> | how so? |
| 06:27 | < Rex> | This is clearly Aquanauts. |
| 06:27 | < Rex> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wintermute2600/7225186452/ |
| 06:27 | < Rex> | I'm going to make an Aqua Sharks version and fight that guy. |
| 06:28 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 06:28 | < Rex> | He even has little drone guys too. |
| 06:28 | < Rex> | That bastard. |
| 06:28 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 06:34 | < Rex> | I'm considering buying a refurbished older console to get into the Destiny beta. |
| 06:34 | < Rex> | It's like an itch or something. |
| 06:34 | < Rex> | I want it so bad. |
| 06:41 | < Rex> | I want to be a space wizard. |
| 06:41 | < Rex> | Or a cool robo knight. |
| 06:41 | < Rex> | Or a gunslinger. |
| 07:07 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
| 07:07 | < MittenNinja> | its fun man. |
| 07:08 | < MittenNinja> | i finally got my beta key. im just waiting to get the email to tell me its starti g |
| 07:12 | < Rex> | Grrr |
| 07:12 | < Rex> | You have no idea. |
| 07:12 | < Rex> | It keeps me up at night sometimes. |
| 07:13 | < Rex> | I just want to give each class a go so I can decide which I want to play. |
| 07:14 | < Rex> | The Warlock seems most like my speed from what I can see though. |
| 07:18 | < MittenNinja> | theyre all good. |
| 07:18 | < MittenNinja> | and there are subclasses for each that we didnt get a look at in the alpha |
| 07:18 | < MittenNinja> | and youll have three character slots, so you can do all three classes |
| 07:19 | < Rex> | Subclasses were the different power things? |
| 07:19 | < Rex> | Like, there's an item slot for affinities or whatever? |
| 07:20 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 07:20 | < MittenNinja> | http://destinynews.net/hunter-warlock-upgrades/ |
| 07:20 | < MittenNinja> | this goes over all the stuff that was in the alpha for all three classes |
| 07:27 | < Rex> | Well, I'm excited. |
| 07:27 | < Rex> | Even more so. |
| 07:29 | < MittenNinja> | im still thinking im going to go titan primarily |
| 07:30 | < Rex> | They all look fun. |
| 07:30 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 07:31 | < MittenNinja> | i got to spend a little bit of time with all of em |
| 07:31 | < MittenNinja> | but titans spoke to me the most |
| 07:31 | < MittenNinja> | that fist of havoc is nasty |
| 07:33 | < Rex> | Did you try the...fusion rifle? |
| 07:33 | < MittenNinja> | although, i really like having the throwing knife for melee. so i may end up playing a bunch of hunter |
| 07:33 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 07:33 | < MittenNinja> | its alright |
| 07:33 | < Rex> | It looks cool but seems difficult. |
| 07:33 | < MittenNinja> | its like a reverse shotgun |
| 07:33 | < Rex> | You have to charge it or something? So weird. |
| 07:33 | < MittenNinja> | inatead of a delay after each shot, the delay is before each shot |
| 07:34 | < Rex> | So weird. |
| 07:34 | < MittenNinja> | its a weapon that rewards good timing |
| 07:34 | < Rex> | I don't know. |
| 07:35 | < Rex> | It seems really difficult for pvp. |
| 07:35 | < MittenNinja> | i found myself gravitating towards the hand cannons and pulse rifles for primaries |
| 07:35 | < MittenNinja> | the snipers or fusions for specials |
| 07:35 | < MittenNinja> | and the lmg for heavies |
| 07:36 | < MittenNinja> | they all have their merits though |
| 07:36 | < MittenNinja> | they just play to different play styles |
| 07:37 | < MittenNinja> | im intetested to see how much/little weapon balance changes in the beta |
| 07:39 | < Rex> | The beta is so far away... |
| 07:42 | < Rex> | I need to see if any of my friends will be playing it. |
| 07:53 | < Rex> | Locking the subclass... |
| 07:53 | < Rex> | Oh yessss |

| 15:38 | < mraichelson> | compared to not really having mentioned it anywhere. yes. :) |
| 15:41 | < mraichelson> | which sounds rude, now that i read it. |
| 15:41 | < mraichelson> | yes. there is definite traffic coming via yr post. :) |
| 15:43 | < Mantisking> | At least there's some extra traffic. |
| 15:43 | < Mantisking> | How are sales going? |
| 15:44 | < mraichelson> | lol, so far, 1. |
| 15:44 | < mraichelson> | but it took a bit for the presale to ramp up too. |
| 15:57 | < Mantisking> | I just did another shout out on the RPG.net forums. |
| 16:02 | < mraichelson> | sweet, danke |
| 16:11 | < Mantisking> | No prob. |

| 20:05 | < locas> | hey ced |
| 20:05 | < Ced23Ric> | How's things, Em? |
| 20:06 | < locas> | okay |
| 20:06 | < locas> | been reading five star stories |
| 20:06 | < locas> | good shit |
| 20:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Care to elaborate? |
| 20:06 | < locas> | it's a giant robot manga |
| 20:06 | < locas> | with like |
| 20:06 | < locas> | I dunno |
| 20:06 | < locas> | knights |
| 20:06 | < locas> | and lightsabers |
| 20:06 | < locas> | and apparently dragons though I'm not there yet |
| 20:06 | < locas> | it has good art. |
| 20:07 | < locas> | and crazy, crazy hair |
| 20:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Gotcha. |
| 20:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I bet it does. |
| 20:07 | < locas> | the craziest |
| 20:07 | < locas> | http://www.gearsonline.net/series/fivestarstories/characters/aisha.php |
| 20:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Live be the hair, die by the hair. |
| 20:08 | < Ced23Ric> | I cannot say I like what I am saying. |
| 20:08 | < locas> | haha |
| 20:08 | < locas> | yeah it did not appeal to me either when soren linked me to the wiki |
| 20:08 | < locas> | a long time ago |
| 20:08 | < locas> | it fits together in a glorious 80's kind of way when you actually read it, though |
| 20:10 | < locas> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/6r4sx4ftzez1ipk/FSS%20Book%20VIII%20-03.jpg |
| 20:10 | < locas> | here's a better image |
| 20:10 | < locas> | that encapsulates the feel |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | That is better. |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Albeit still not my fancy tickled. |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | I prefer my mecha gritty. |
| 20:11 | < locas> | yeah it's not gritty |
| 20:12 | < locas> | everything is smooth and shiny and it's full of pretty boys |
| 20:12 | < locas> | and sex robots |
| 20:12 | < locas> | which aren't really robots |
| 20:15 | < locas> | I'll just leave this other example here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4vdga2xiish3zjw/FSS%20Book%20VI%20-15.jpg |
| 20:27 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 20:27 | < Mantisking> | Hello. |
| 20:28 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Ray. |
| 20:29 | < mraichelson> | hola |
| 20:31 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 21:42 | < Rex> | As a fan of the 80's, big hair bands, knights, lightsabers, and robots...I'm compelled to look into this. These "sex robots" have me a little worried, though. |
| 21:47 | < locas> | they're not really sex robots |
| 21:47 | < locas> | it's like all the robots need an artificial humanoid to be piloted |
| 21:47 | < locas> | and the artifical humanoids were initially used as sex slaves/clone soldiers |
| 21:48 | < locas> | and they still are woefully lacking in some basic human rights |
| 21:48 | < locas> | they are subjected to mind control drugs and incapable of disobeying orders, for instance |
| 21:48 | < locas> | except for a few of the main characters |
| 21:48 | < locas> | it's dealt with with more compassion than I expected from it |
| 21:50 | < locas> | in that image I linked, the girl is a fatima, one of the artificial humanoids |
| 21:50 | < locas> | and that's the god emperor of light next to her |
| 21:50 | < locas> | it's a strange book. |
| 21:51 | < Rex> | That is strange. |
| 21:51 | < mraichelson> | anything that involves the phrase âgod emperor of lightâ is usually destined to be. |
| 21:51 | < Rex> | This is true. |
| 21:52 | < locas> | especially when it involves the god emperor of light stripping on the side of the highway to get a ride |
| 21:52 | < mraichelson> | yes, even as god emperors go, that is an unusual move. |
| 21:54 | < Rex> | Um... |
| 21:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Most god emperors do not tend to do that. |
| 21:58 | < locas> | yeah, they usually sit around in comas |
| 21:58 | < locas> | amaterasu is much more interesting |
| 21:59 | < Rex> | Wow, you went there. |
| 21:59 | < Rex> | +1 |
| 21:59 | < Ced23Ric> | It was the elephant in the golden throne room. |
| 22:07 | < locas> | I'm almost done with it |
| 22:07 | < locas> | the last two volumes haven't been translated :( |
| 22:07 | < locas> | or if they have I haven't been able to find them |
| 22:15 | | Graf [Graf@Nightstar-25h06r.mycingular.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 22:16 | < Rex> | So... |
| 22:17 | < Rex> | are they kind of like Replicants from Blade Runner? |
| 22:17 | < locas> | essentially |
| 22:17 | < locas> | they're smarter, better, and faster than 90% of humans |
| 22:18 | < locas> | but have no rights |
| 22:18 | < locas> | or bad ones |
| 22:18 | < locas> | pretty much only the knights that are their partners in robot fighting treat them as human, and even then only some of them do |
| 22:21 | | Graf [Graf@Nightstar-25h06r.mycingular.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 22:21 | < Rex> | That's kind of a bummer. |
| 22:22 | < locas> | certainly |
| 22:23 | < locas> | three of the main characters are fatimas who were not given the mind control drug and are for some reason immortal, though |
| 22:23 | < locas> | well I don't know if two of them are really main characters |
| 22:23 | < Rex> | Replicants |
| 22:23 | < locas> | the emperor dude is also immortal but it's not really clear why |
| 22:32 | < Rex> | Because he's a god, I guess? |
| 22:33 | < Rex> | I'm extremely confused by Evangelion's ending. |
| 22:35 | < locas> | okay, so now the emperor is a girl and shooting lasers from their hand |
| 22:35 | < locas> | I love this book |
| 22:35 | < locas> | Rex, that's normal |
| 22:35 | < locas> | just take some LSD and a hot bath |
| 22:35 | < locas> | it'll all make sense |
| 22:35 | < mraichelson> | or a hot LSD bath? |
| 22:36 | < locas> | that sounds dangerous |
| 22:36 | < mraichelson> | orâ¦awesome |
| 22:39 | < Rex> | So confused... |
| 22:40 | < Rex> | 40 minutes of convoluted rambling... |
| 22:40 | < locas> | oh |
| 22:40 | < locas> | the ending of the SHOW? |
| 22:41 | < locas> | you have to watch the movie |
| 22:42 | < Rex> | I don't really want to now. |
| 22:43 | < Rex> | I dunno. |
| 22:43 | < Rex> | I guess I will, I just never really cared too much for the show. |
| 22:44 | < locas> | fair enough |
| 22:44 | < locas> | you don't HAVE to watch it |
| 22:44 | < locas> | but that's the real ending |
| 22:44 | < locas> | the animation budget got cut |
| 22:44 | < locas> | thus the 40 minutes of convoluted rambling in the series |
| 22:44 | < Rex> | I'm already committed, I might as well. |
| 22:45 | < locas> | there are certainly better uses of your time |
| 22:45 | < locas> | but it's something every mecha fan has to see once |
| 23:09 | < Rex> | What |
| 23:09 | < Rex> | Am I watching? |
| 23:11 | < mraichelson> | in general, or is that an âend of evaâ question? |
| 23:11 | < Rex> | The latter. |
| 23:12 | < mraichelson> | proto-religious whack-ness? |
