<@McMartin>
Ahahaha at section 7.4
00:06
<@McMartin>
They've been saying that for my entire life.
00:07
<@McMartin>
It's easy, we'll just double the stress tolerances, just like we do in civil engineering
00:09
<@ToxicFrog>
Section 7.4 of what?
00:09
<@McMartin>
The document TW linked earlier.
00:09
<@Derakon>
I was absent. Link?
00:09
<@McMartin>
7.4 indicates that software engineering and SCIENCE mean that we don't have to have errors in software anymore! Hooray!

Danke.

00:31 * gnolam idly wonders if his gamedev.net account still exists.
00:32
<@Derakon>
Probably.

Thing is, I'm not sure if I've ever made a single post with it. :)

Hah! It still exists. I just had to reset the password.

Is it meant to be a physical board game or played on a computer?
00:46
<@Derakon>
Physical game board.
00:47
<@gnolam>
Ah. That complicates it. :)

05:49 * Derakon has an Idea for controlling sight in An Hour to Kill.
05:49
<@Derakon>
Specifically, lightswitches.
05:49
<@Derakon>
Every room starts off dark. Any time you pass through a doorway, you can toggle the lighting on either side of the room; this limits sight range drastically (rendering ranged weapons less useful, but making stealth much easier).
05:51
<@Derakon>
That should make it much harder to turtle up, since someone could just nick the lightswitch before sneaking in, and each room should have at least two doorways which can't be watched simultaneously.

Consul, you'd probably find this interesting. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/3075597/the_man_is_playing_guitar_with_his_mouth/
19:44
< Consul>
Ah.
19:44
< Consul>
Some nice vocal gymnastics coupled with a guitar amp.
19:44
< Consul>
Not bad at all.
19:45
< Consul>
Very good control of his vocal tract. That in itself is impressive.
19:45
< Consul>
But the distortion is definitely not from his mouth. He has a guitar amp.
19:45
<@Derakon>
Yeah, I figured.
19:45
< Consul>
That's how Jan Hammer did the famous "guitar" solo on the Miami Vice theme song.
19:46
< Consul>
Sure, it was a synth, but the guitar amp did most of the work in making it sound like a guitar.
19:46
< Consul>
And Jan pointed that out several times. He told people they'd be disappointed to learn how he did it. :-)

That is just plain fucking amazing. Can I say fucking in here? Well, I just did.
