00:00 | < Dukayn> | Ha nice! |
00:00 | < Ceddo> | What does it do. |
00:00 | < Ceddo> | I am confused. |
00:00 | < afny> | uh... |
00:00 | < Dukayn> | It's a chainsaw! |
00:00 | < afny> | yeah. |
00:00 | < afny> | it's a chainsaw. |
00:00 | < Dukayn> | Which goes up and down all by itself |
00:00 | < Ceddo> | Doing what? |
00:00 | < afny> | chain...sawing things |
00:00 | < Ceddo> | What for? |
00:00 | < Dukayn> | REEOOWWW REEEOOOOOOW |
00:01 | < Dukayn> | Sawing mechs in twain obviously |
00:01 | < afny> | it doesn't make great deals of sense. |
00:01 | < Dukayn> | It's a HtH weapon, what other sense does it need to make? |
00:02 | < Ceddo> | I literally just got a laughing cramp. |
00:02 | < afny> | from "reow reow"? |
00:02 | < Ceddo> | "What is it?" - "A chainsaw." - "What does it do?" - "Chainsawing things." - "Doing what?" - "REEOOWWW REEEOOOOOOW!" |
00:02 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I'm giggling a little at that :P |
00:02 | < afny> | that's the gist of it. |
00:02 | < Ceddo> | This is so great. |
00:03 | < Ceddo> | I love you, Dukey. |
00:03 | < Ceddo> | You are now in my top ten of my favourite Aussies. |
00:03 | < Dukayn> | D'awwww |
00:03 | < Dukayn> | Who else is up there? Just so I know who I need to beat. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | Scottie, from Melbourne. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | He's my back-in-the-day Battlefield buddy. |
00:04 | < Dukayn> | Ah |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | THat's it. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | It's a pretty empty list. |
00:04 | < Dukayn> | that's 2. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | No, wait. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | We go back to Guildwars One. |
00:04 | < Ceddo> | That's where we met. |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | Then we played BF2 together. And BF2:BC2. |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | And Section 8. |
00:05 | < Dukayn> | Cool |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | And BF3. |
00:05 | < Dukayn> | You have BF3? |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | We're online gaming buddies. :D |
00:05 | < Dukayn> | What's your Battlelog name I'll add you |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | Soldier Name: Ced Riggs. Or Ced23Ric. |
00:05 | < Ceddo> | I think the latter. |
00:05 | < Dukayn> | k |
00:06 | < Ceddo> | But I don't play these days. :( |
00:06 | < Ceddo> | My PC is still in Canada, and my laptop can't handle it. |
00:06 | < Ceddo> | I used to play for The Art of Warfare. |
00:06 | < Ceddo> | 600 men clan, military structure. |
00:07 | < Dukayn> | "The story of BF3 made me very sad" << you? |
00:07 | < Ceddo> | They had me on as Platoon Leader Europe, in Section 8, and as Drill Instructor in BF2:BC2. :D |
00:07 | < Ceddo> | That's totes me. :D |
00:07 | < Dukayn> | Friended |
00:07 | < Ceddo> | Yay! |
00:07 | < Dukayn> | I still haven't finished campaign for that one |
00:07 | < Dukayn> | My GPU needs to go back for an RA |
00:07 | < afny> | You seem like the kind of guy that might've been into ARMA Ced |
00:07 | < afny> | did you ever play it? |
00:10 | < Dukayn> | I tried it, but it was right at launch and it had major issues with my PC |
00:10 | < Dukayn> | So I took it back and got Assassin's Creed 2 for my 360. |
00:11 | < afny> | I only played 2. Neither one were what you would call optimized. |
00:11 | < afny> | I'm not really into military sims, but I really loved it as a sandbox game. |
00:12 | | KarolineDianne [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-35371e3c.hstntx.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mf0 |
00:12 | < Ceddo> | ARMA? |
00:12 | < afny> | o/ |
00:12 | < Ceddo> | Sup KD. |
00:13 | < afny> | ARMA. |
00:13 | < afny> | It's like a hardcore realistic military sim |
00:13 | < Ceddo> | Like Op FP? |
00:13 | < afny> | it's mostly just an engine and a bunch of coded weapons/vehicles |
00:13 | < Ceddo> | See, I liked SWAT4. :D |
00:13 | < Ceddo> | And I played something in excess of 800 hours of BF2. |
00:13 | < afny> | uh I think there's some developer crossover between arma and op fp |
00:13 | < afny> | I don't remember what came first |
00:14 | < Dukayn> | From memory it is made by the guys who made OpFP, but they split from the publishers who kept the franchise title |
00:14 | < afny> | arma is like swat 4 but on a grander scale |
00:14 | < afny> | for instance the default map in arma 2 is more than a hundred kilometers or russia all mapped out in the game engine |
00:14 | < Dukayn> | So the devs made ARMA, and the publishers went on to make shit OpFP sequels |
00:14 | < afny> | yeah that's right. |
00:14 | < Ceddo> | Gotcha. |
00:14 | < Dukayn> | OH FUCK YOU LDD |
00:14 | < Ceddo> | What it do? |
00:14 | < afny> | anyway I don't like the actual simulating the military part |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | Well it was stopping loading |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | So I rebooted in case it was just an OS thing |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | No dice. |
00:15 | < afny> | I just like running around in fields at night with a ghillie suit and a sniper and fucking with people in servers |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | So I uninstalled, redownloaded and reinstalled. |
00:15 | < afny> | or crashing planes into things |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | STILL NO DICE |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | Just sits there doing nothing. |
00:15 | < Ceddo> | Does it need some sort of Framework? |
00:15 | < Dukayn> | Well that's the thing, it was working perfectly fine last night till about 1.40am |
00:15 | < Ceddo> | Check the requirements. And download any library it may need. |
00:16 | < Ceddo> | Any updates? |
00:16 | < Dukayn> | Negatory |
00:16 | < Dukayn> | Just... stopped working. |
00:16 | < Ceddo> | Hrm. |
00:16 | < Ceddo> | Does it give you any messages? |
00:16 | < Dukayn> | Nothing, just sits there |
00:17 | < Ceddo> | http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/FAQ/default.aspx?id=132499 |
00:17 | < Dukayn> | Hmm could be vid drivers |
00:17 | < Dukayn> | I'll check, ta |
00:18 | < Ceddo> | Also, first entry. |
00:18 | < Ceddo> | If you are using Windows, please delete the folder c:\Document and Settings\\Application Data\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer and then restart LDD. |
00:18 | < Dukayn> | Oh hey look, there are new graphics drivers for my GPU |
00:18 | < Ceddo> | :D |
00:18 | < Dukayn> | But no, they were released on 22/05 |
00:19 | < Dukayn> | So maybe it's that folder |
00:19 | < Ceddo> | http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48663 |
00:20 | < Ceddo> | Wait. |
00:20 | < Ceddo> | What. |
00:20 | < Ceddo> | My LDD doesn't start. |
00:20 | < Ceddo> | It shows me the loading progress bar. |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | And stopped at like 8%. |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | o_O |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | That's exactly my problem |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | What. |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | Yup |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | What is this. |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | DUDE. |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | You broke my LDD. |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | afny, check? |
00:21 | < afny> | ? |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | LDD |
00:21 | < afny> | I dont have it on this machine |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | does yours load? |
00:21 | < Ceddo> | Oh, fuck, I think I know what it is. |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | OH WELL FINE THEN |
00:21 | < afny> | I hate LDD |
00:21 | < afny> | I hope it dies in a fire |
00:21 | < Dukayn> | Don't we all |
00:22 | < Dukayn> | But it's what we have that's quick and easy |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | LDD automatically goes into online mode if there is a connection. |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | If you have no connection, it stays offline. |
00:22 | < Dukayn> | Hmm |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | Try this, for shits and giggles. |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | Terminate the process. |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | Disable your network connection. |
00:22 | < afny> | QUICK. Hah. EASY. Hah. |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | Start LDD in offline mode. |
00:22 | < Dukayn> | Yeah will do |
00:22 | < Dukayn> | brb |
00:22 | < Ceddo> | Enable network. |
00:24 | < Ceddo> | What a cunt. |
00:24 | < Dukayn> | ping |
00:24 | < Ceddo> | It worked. |
00:24 | < Ceddo> | I just disconned from wireless, started offline and reconnected. |
00:24 | < Ceddo> | Now LDD runs fine. |
00:24 | < Dukayn> | Yep worked for metoo |
00:24 | < Dukayn> | So it's something their end |
00:24 | < Ceddo> | Conclusion: Lego servers are down. |
00:25 | < Dukayn> | I might just block LDD from accessing the 'net. |
00:27 | < Dukayn> | It's a pretty safe bet |
00:28 | < Ceddo> | They update LDD's palette once a year. |
00:28 | < Ceddo> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1480 |
00:31 | < Dukayn> | Ah, so that may be it |
00:31 | < Dukayn> | June 1st, also makes some sense |
00:31 | < Dukayn> | Woah woah woah |
00:31 | < Ceddo> | Yah? |
00:32 | < Dukayn> | My LDD is now anti-aliased |
00:34 | < Dukayn> | I set that like a month ago |
00:34 | < Dukayn> | I guess it was waiting on a reboot |

00:46 | < Ceddo> | I dunno. |
00:46 | < Ceddo> | You tell me. |
00:47 | < Dukayn> | No idea |
00:47 | < Dukayn> | Just... lost connection |
00:47 | < Dukayn> | Ah well, all good now |
00:48 | < Ceddo> | I can't wait until I get my SFX parts. |
00:48 | | Soren|away is now known as Soren |
00:48 | < Ceddo> | Lemme show you something. |
00:48 | < Dukayn> | Oh I figured out last night that the bits I ordered for the Osprey could almost build a Nightingale too heh |
00:49 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/elderseye_fire.png |
00:49 | < Dukayn> | Heh, nice |
00:50 | < Ceddo> | So much pink and purple. |
00:50 | < Ceddo> | :D |
00:50 | < Soren> | om nom. |
00:51 | < Soren> | Most excellent looking. |
00:51 | < Ceddo> | Those Ijad will be quite trigger happy. |
00:51 | < Ceddo> | Is what umpteen pink and purple parts are saying. |
00:51 | < Dukayn> | Ah, good. Soren's here. You two can talk about why my HtH Osprey should be BB or YG :P |
00:52 | < Soren> | I'm really leery of a no-blue HtH frame. |
00:52 | < Soren> | That just seems like a crippling kick in the robo-junk waiting to happen |
00:52 | < Ceddo> | I'm saying, make it an HtH soldier. |
00:52 | < Ceddo> | RhRh Y B G G8 WW. |
00:53 | < Ceddo> | An HtH that's not in melee is a waste. |
00:53 | < Ceddo> | HtH with just G8 doesn't exactly fly like a peregrine. |
00:53 | < Ceddo> | It has one unreliable boost. |
00:53 | < Ceddo> | Double B is for cover, yes? Cover means HtH distance to a friendly. Means slowed down movement for cohesion. |
00:53 | < Ceddo> | If you ignore cohesion, then why have BB? |
00:54 | < Ceddo> | So you are either as slow as the slowest element or you have BB for no reason other than another roll for Def. |
00:54 | < Dukayn> | I hadn't considered a single B |
00:54 | < Soren> | I'm not convinced of the value of double-green. |
00:54 | < Ceddo> | While the HHH8 BB frame hobbles over the battlefield with his buddy, they are dead weights. They do nothing but walk around. |
00:55 | < Dukayn> | It's not tehcnically double green, it's Gd6+d8 |
00:55 | < Ceddo> | So I'm saying, go at least one more G, so you get places CONSISTENTLY. |
00:55 | < Ceddo> | HtH 'frames need to be fast. If they are not, they are deadweights. |
00:55 | < Ceddo> | And while you hobble around, might aswell be usefull and spot for the guns. |
00:55 | < Ceddo> | Hence the Y. |
00:56 | < Ceddo> | So, ultimately, I suggest HH Y B G G8 WW |
00:59 | < Soren> | I think I have to see it in play, really. |
01:00 | < Soren> | But I'm convinced that there's at least a case for it. |
01:00 | < Ceddo> | For HH H8 BB ? |
01:00 | < Soren> | no, for your double-green config. |
01:00 | < Ceddo> | I think it's too slow and useless until it engages in melee. |
01:00 | < Ceddo> | Ah. Well, it's a consistent runner. |
01:00 | < Ceddo> | And it still has 3d6, if need be, for Def. |
01:01 | < Soren> | sure |
01:02 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9lnydhifflufxy/I-ST-05A%20Slammer.jpg Repost for everyone who wasn't here, the double-HtH double-Blue config in a tasty new form. |
01:03 | < Dukayn> | Here's a question: You can use W for HtH if you have no HtH systems |
01:03 | < Dukayn> | Can you still use W for HtH if you DO have HtH systems? |
01:05 | < Soren> | I'm pretty sure, yeah. |
01:05 | < Soren> | an exception there would be kinda needless and fiddly |
01:06 | < Dukayn> | Figured |
01:06 | < Dukayn> | I mean it's like if I have a coherent energy blade, I can still smack you with the handle even if the blade misses |
01:06 | < Ceddo> | Yipp, totally. |
01:06 | < Ceddo> | Soren: Here's my take. |
01:07 | < Ceddo> | You have two hhHBB 'frames. |
01:07 | < Ceddo> | They come towards my station, covering each other. |
01:07 | < Ceddo> | And I'm supposed to do what? |
01:07 | < Ceddo> | I will pull back, spot and shoot them to bits. |
01:07 | < Ceddo> | They cannot return fire or spot back if I use cover. |
01:08 | < Ceddo> | They aren't much faster than my 'frames. |
01:08 | < Ceddo> | They got one D8. |
01:08 | < Ceddo> | That's pretty wobbly |
01:09 | < Soren> | But I've got your stations. |
01:09 | < Dukayn> | bbl guys, I've gotta take our girls to playgroup. |
01:09 | < Soren> | later! |
01:09 | | Dukayn is now known as Dukayn[AFK] |
01:09 | < Ceddo> | Have my station. |
01:09 | < Ceddo> | I take yours. |
01:09 | < Soren> | maybe. |
01:09 | < Soren> | maybe. |
01:10 | < Ceddo> | Maybe you take mine. |
01:10 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I blast you to bits. |
01:10 | < Ceddo> | Point is, 2d6 +1d8 isn't fast. |
01:10 | < Soren> | Or you suck on it, because I'm covering those guys like hell. |
01:10 | < Ceddo> | A soldier has 3d6. |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | No prob'. Spot 6, Shoot 6, I get 6 rolls for a 6. |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | Or say I get 4 rolls. Or 3. |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | Eventually, one is gonna stick. |
01:11 | < Soren> | except that I'm swimming in initiative, now. |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | What do you drop? |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | H? |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | Nah, you're not at my station yet. |
01:11 | < Soren> | depends on the situation. |
01:11 | < Ceddo> | You are still walking through the valley of death. Slowly. |
01:12 | < afny> | Dukayn seems like the best dad ever |
01:12 | < Soren> | He really does. |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | He's my idol. |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | Here. |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | [18:16:28] <Dukayn> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | [18:16:36] <Dukayn> I just hit Submit Order on Bricklink |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | [18:16:39] <Dukayn> I AM NOW IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | [18:17:21] <Dukayn> ALSO DON'T TELL THE WIFE >_< |
01:12 | < Ceddo> | This is golden. |
01:13 | < Soren> | I really want to get him in a bar in KL and pour beer down him. He seems like a really fun guy. |
01:13 | < Soren> | I'lll send him back to AUS with pockets full of Lego. |
01:14 | < Ceddo> | :D |
01:15 | < Ceddo> | 1st MoFo offline meeting is at Soren's! |
01:16 | < Soren> | I like to think I know how to rock out. |
01:16 | | * Soren plans the world's hugest veggie lasagna. |
01:16 | < Ceddo> | God. |
01:16 | < Ceddo> | You are playing with my emotions. |
01:17 | < Ceddo> | Lasagna. Large. |
01:17 | < Ceddo> | But Veggie. |
01:17 | < Ceddo> | I mean, it's probably because we have fuckawesome meat over here, but ... |
01:17 | < Ceddo> | I do love my meat, man. |
01:17 | < Soren> | You can add sausage to yours. We just gotta have something Af can eat. |
01:19 | < Ceddo> | True. |
01:19 | < Ceddo> | And no sausage. |
01:19 | < Ceddo> | I am talking about 50% ground veal, 50% grond pork, fried in olive oil, with pepper and onions and diced carrots, some salt, maybe basil and deffo garlic. |
01:19 | < Soren> | numnumnum |
01:20 | < Soren> | So two pans. |
01:20 | < Soren> | At least. |
01:20 | < Ceddo> | Hey, are you a one-person-cook? |
01:20 | < Soren> | I was thinking diced lamb and hot peppers. |
01:20 | < Ceddo> | Or do you share the kitchen? |
01:20 | < Soren> | I share the kitchen like a mofo. |
01:20 | < Ceddo> | Not too big of a fan of lamb, honestly. |
01:20 | < Soren> | I did this for a living, I play well with others. |
01:20 | < Ceddo> | But I eat beef raw. |
01:20 | < Soren> | 0.0 |
01:21 | < Soren> | (not the raw beef, the lamb) |
01:21 | < Ceddo> | I don't mind it. I like it at times. |
01:21 | < Ceddo> | But I wouldn't go out of my way to get lamb. |
01:21 | < Soren> | Man. |
01:21 | < Ceddo> | Much rather I'd go for shark, ostrich or pike, to name some more odd meats. |
01:21 | < Soren> | I actually feel sorry for you. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | It doesn't tickle my fancy. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | Not like beef does. |
01:22 | < Soren> | Pike is pretty great. I don't think I've had enough shark to form an opinion. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | Or predator fish. |
01:22 | < Soren> | hee |
01:22 | < Soren> | Man. we do a great beef roast. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | I had shark steak, shark soup, shark filet. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | Gotta say, pretty damn tasty. |
01:22 | < Soren> | rubbed with olive oil and herbs, cut some divots for garlic. |
01:22 | < Ceddo> | Sounds delicious. |
01:23 | < Ceddo> | Is this where we plan a massive cooking orgy? |
01:23 | < Soren> | once you get about 12+ cloves in there, it's magic. |
01:23 | < Ceddo> | Because I am DTC. |
01:23 | < Soren> | I could be down for that in a big way, yeah. |
01:23 | < Ceddo> | *nods* |
01:23 | < Ceddo> | I've never been a professional cook. |
01:24 | < Ceddo> | But one of my former roomies cooked for the Frankfurt Intercontinental. |
01:24 | < Ceddo> | And he kinda picked up where my mom left me. |
01:24 | < Ceddo> | And in Canada, in Niagara Falls, I was amidst ... twenty cooks. At least. Cooks and chefs. |
01:24 | < Soren> | Cooks are some of my favorite people. |
01:24 | < Ceddo> | One of them ran a restaurant, and I'd sample his next menu and give feedback for him. |
01:24 | < Ceddo> | Make little suggestions. |
01:25 | < Soren> | They're the people who'll pick you up when you're down. |
01:26 | < Ceddo> | I was the only customer who got breakfast at that place. |
01:26 | < Ceddo> | They didn't have a breakfast card, though. |
01:26 | < Soren> | heh |
01:26 | < Ceddo> | So I ordered what I felt like. :D |
01:27 | < Soren> | most excellent. |
01:27 | < Soren> | Man. I still miss knowing guys who shower twice a week and keep a huge batch of sourdough starter in their bathtubs. |
01:28 | < Soren> | granted, not actually in the tub, he had a bin, but still. |
01:28 | < Soren> | That guy. |
01:28 | < Soren> | You wanna know that guy when there's pizza to be made. |
01:28 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, |
02:04 | < afny> | Urgh, what is it with people naming their companies after DnD or Warhammer things |
02:04 | < afny> | Have an ounce of creativity. An OUNCE. |
02:05 | < Ceddo> | Like which one? |
02:05 | < afny> | Or steal from a CREDIBLE source, like a real world religion. >_> |
02:06 | < Ceddo> | What happen? :D |

02:07 | < afny> | He's mad with power! |
02:07 | < Ceddo> | ... BLASPHEMY. |
02:08 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | The joy of not having to pay much attention at play group ;) |
02:08 | < Ceddo> | Until on of them burns. |
02:10 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | There are like 20 child care students and 3 teachers, they'll put em out |
02:10 | < Ceddo> | [02:12:01] <afny> Dukayn seems like the best dad ever |
02:10 | < Ceddo> | [02:12:10] <Soren> He really does. |
02:10 | < Ceddo> | [02:12:11] <Ceddo> He's my idol. |
02:10 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Saw tbg |
02:10 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Tbg? No |
02:10 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | That |
02:10 | < Ceddo> | Ah. :D |
02:10 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Just as I was leaving |
02:11 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Btw "d'awwwwww" |
02:11 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I'm flattered |
02:13 | < Soren> | Hey, you earned it. One soggy diaper at a time, I'm sure. |
02:14 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Haha |
02:15 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I do about 95% of the nappies |
02:15 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | It's a point of consternation |
02:19 | < Soren> | I would imagine. |
02:28 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Y'all are boring ;) |
02:28 | < Soren> | we'all are building. |
02:28 | < Soren> | or, in my case, sorting. |
02:29 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Ah nice. |
02:29 | < Soren> | I guess I could say something about MOTORS AND BUTTS to get Ced's attention back. |
02:29 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Lol |
02:29 | < Soren> | I think he's got an alert set up. |
02:29 | < Ceddo> | I'm working on two Iguanas. |
02:29 | < Ceddo> | And I do. |
02:29 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I told the wife about my brick link order |
02:29 | < Ceddo> | WHAT SHE SAY. |
02:31 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Well I told her after we discussed how she spent $30 on books the other day so I came out on top |
02:31 | < Soren> | that works. |
02:31 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | And I figure I have leeway to get the rest of what I need for the Osprey :P |

02:59 | < Noah> | Two new tackle boxes |
02:59 | < Noah> | Yeeeeaaauhh~ |
02:59 | < Soren> | mos ex. |
02:59 | < Soren> | I'm torn between my desire not to complicate my move further and my love of good organization right now. |
02:59 | < Soren> | Who knows what's gonna win. |
02:59 | < Noah> | Though A Lot of Bricks sent me an extra of three lots |
03:09 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Postage on my order is only $1 less than the order itself bahhahahaha |
03:12 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | When can you declare an SSR shot? Does it have to be when you declare target and range? |
03:12 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Ping Soren and Ceddo |
03:13 | < Cedric> | Yes. |
03:13 | < Soren> | yeah, you just do it with the rest of an attack. |
03:13 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Hmm OK. Ta. |
03:14 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Cool thanks. Just wanted to make sure. Pretty sure I saw V say something about popping one off whenever you want. Probably misinterpreted. |
03:14 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | LOL |
03:15 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Just got a text from the wife saying she's hungry. She's waiting in a queue 10ft away. |
03:15 | < Soren> | I hate to break it to you, but he wasn't talking about rockets. |
03:15 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | LAWL |
03:15 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Oh, you |
03:16 | < Soren> | It's 'how many new quotes can I put on Dukayn's sig line' day, I guess! |
03:17 | < Cedric> | I love the Iguana base. |
03:17 | < Cedric> | You just play with the torso and the arms and you get a new, neat little 'frame |
03:17 | < Cedric> | Two done! |
03:17 | < Cedric> | Company of 8 Serpents done. |
03:18 | < Cedric> | I call them ... Toads. |
03:18 | < Cedric> | Battle Toads. |
03:18 | < Soren> | the variants are gonna be great. |
03:18 | < Soren> | 'Sniping Toad', for example, sounds like one of the positions that had to be removed from the Kama Sutra for safety |
03:19 | < afny> | I think someone already coined the battle toad |
03:19 | < afny> | I saw it on flikr |
03:19 | < Soren> | 'Slashing Toad', 'Barrage Toad'... it's like a non-stop rain of gooey innuendo. |
03:19 | < Noah> | Hypno Toad |
03:19 | < afny> | based on one of KD's designs, I think, but I might be wrong. |
03:19 | < Noah> | Has new purple dice for hacking systems |
03:20 | < Soren> | I declare a house rule: you gotta say "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD" to use the purple dice on that guy. |
03:20 | < Cedric> | Fat Adder. |
03:20 | < Soren> | Before you roll. |
03:21 | < Cedric> | Lemme upload some pictures. |
03:21 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/karolinedianne/6976722440/ |
03:21 | < Soren> | Ced: 'Throbbing Adder' is even more tasteless. |
03:22 | < Soren> | also, the more it sounds like one of the goofier names from VOTOMs, the funiier. |
03:22 | < Soren> | funnier* |
03:22 | < afny> | I've always thought the "Hooded Cobra" sounded like a good penis name. |
03:23 | < Cedric> | Mhmm. |
03:23 | < Noah> | Just call the frame Dong. |
03:23 | < Cedric> | Bloated Adder? :D |
03:23 | < Noah> | No, just Huge Dong |

03:29 | < KarolineDianne> | I heard huge dong |
03:29 | < KarolineDianne> | :o |
03:29 | < Noah> | It's the name of Cedric's new frame |
03:29 | < KarolineDianne> | ohh myy |
03:29 | < Cedric> | Incidentially, also the name of my dick. |
03:30 | < Cedric> | His stage name, to be exact. |
03:30 | < KarolineDianne> | lol |
03:30 | < Cedric> | He has a followership in Japan. |
03:30 | < Noah> | Referred to in the third person, because it's on someone else |
03:30 | < afny> | Huge Dong in Japan, a humble Hugh Don in private life. |
03:30 | < Cedric> | Nah, he became sentient. |
03:31 | < Cedric> | OKAY MY DICK'S NOT A TOPIC ANYMORE. |
03:31 | < afny> | Not in the Western World, anyway. That's so last year. |
03:31 | < Cedric> | God damnit, afny. |
03:32 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I go away for 10 minutes |
03:32 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | You guys |
03:32 | < Cedric> | Yah? |
03:33 | < Noah> | Hehe |
03:33 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I concur with Ced about the Iguana as a base. The Nightingale is Iguana based. |
03:33 | < Cedric> | I usually start with the face and then change the entire torso until I like it. :D |
03:34 | < Noah> | That's what she said...? |
03:34 | < Cedric> | It's usually like playing Tetris in 3D with travis bricks and headlight bricks. |
03:36 | < Soren> | throw in some 1x1 technic bricks for hard mode. |
03:36 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I started with the head for the Nightingale. Knew what I wanted for that and then went for a body to fit it to. |
03:37 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | The Osprey I started at the feet. |
03:38 | < Soren> | I sually start with a torso, so I know how much weight the legs have to hold up. |
03:38 | < Soren> | usually* |
03:38 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | That's a good philosophy. And why you're so much better at this than I am. |
03:39 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Well, one reason. |
03:40 | < Soren> | it's just a trick I've picked up. |
03:40 | < Soren> | It matters more with big stuff. |
03:41 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | How did you come up with the Chub torso? |
03:41 | < Soren> | shoulder joint first. |
03:42 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I've always wondered how that setup came about |
03:42 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | The tap + claw? |
03:42 | < Soren> | I wanted to use taps, because they're cheap and promiscuously available. |
03:42 | < Soren> | yeah, at first, just taps. |
03:42 | < Soren> | Which still works, but sits awkwardly far forward and I wanted an excuse for people to get taps. |
03:43 | < Soren> | erm, to get *claws* |
03:43 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah I've just used taps on mine as I have no claws. |
03:43 | < afny> | What do you use to get arm articulation? |
03:43 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Also the arm is closer to the body which doesn't always work |
03:43 | < Soren> | the neck of the tap. |
03:43 | < Soren> | yeah. |
03:43 | < afny> | None of my Chubs use claws |
03:44 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7207505140/in/set-72157629897328224 |
03:44 | < afny> | But I get some articulation with that setup. It changes the outline a bit, but I've sort of grown to like it |
03:44 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | On the Kestrel I used a 1x1 round on the tap to get it out past the chest piece |
03:44 | < Soren> | yeah, it's a workable option. I just like the final version a bit better. |
03:44 | < Soren> | slightly more elegant. |
03:45 | < Cedric> | Alright. |
03:45 | < Cedric> | I'mma hit the hay. |
03:45 | < afny> | I did some of mine up with claws, and the outline is more fluid, and the idle posture is better |
03:45 | < Cedric> | Later, gentledudes and dudettes. |
03:45 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Night mate |
03:45 | < afny> | but I couldn't get the poses as crazy |
03:45 | < afny> | night o7 |
03:46 | < Soren> | g'night Ced. |

03:46 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | The 1x1 round brick means you can Mitten the arm with a tyre :D |
03:46 | < afny> | doesn't it crash into the shoulder mounts? |
03:46 | < Soren> | Af: well, your shoulder joint is crazy excellent. |
03:47 | < Soren> | I went for proportion and ease, you went for articulation.. |
03:47 | < afny> | It was really just out of necessity |
03:47 | < Soren> | but it works. |
03:47 | < afny> | When I do up my generic frames, they'll all have the classic claw shoulders |
03:48 | < afny> | I have so many unique frames, when I actually field a company I just want to use one or two of them and then some generic frames as grunts |
03:48 | < Soren> | an excellent plan. |
03:48 | < Soren> | Also, how I want to do FSS styling. |
03:48 | < Soren> | one Knight Paramount, and a bunch of supporting cast. |
03:48 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Afny no it doesn't seem to |
03:49 | < Soren> | which means one fancy-ass frame and a bunch of less fancy ones. |
03:49 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Check my Flickr for the kestrel |
03:50 | < afny> | Oh, hm. Yeah, depending on what you put up there, you'd be fine. |
03:50 | < afny> | The feet on this thing are so cool. |
03:51 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | The fat tyre mittens uses fits fine |
03:51 | < afny> | does it just use one point of contact between the two round plates as a joint? |
03:51 | < afny> | in the feet? |
03:51 | < afny> | I've used that as a swivel for a grenade launcher/ecm combo just recently and found it to be surprisingly stable |
03:54 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I use a technic axle |
03:54 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | For added strength |
03:55 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Technically it has 2 contact points with both of the lamp holders. |
03:55 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | You can also add another as a heel. |
03:55 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Probably wouldn't need the axle then. |
03:56 | < afny> | I did four in my mount; two lampholders and two round 1 x 1s, and didnt need an axle |
03:56 | < afny> | but the wasn't any weight on it |
03:56 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I didn't think of a 1x1 round. |
03:57 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | That'd help I the back |
03:57 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | In* |
03:58 | < afny> | I like that technique a lot because it's an easy reversal of four studs |
03:58 | < afny> | in a relatively innocuous 3p thick package |
03:58 | < afny> | and it gives you four additional points of contact because of the lampholders |
03:59 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah |
04:00 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I need to tweak the Kestrel. Make it less table scrappy |
04:02 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Mostly in the legs. But he needs something in back. |
04:12 | | KarolineDianne [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-35371e3c.hstntx.sbcglobal.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
04:14 | < afny> | HE NEEDS SOMETHING IN BACK YOU SAY. |
04:14 | < afny> | Ho ho. Ho ho ho. |
04:15 | < afny> | But seriously, how much weight can you mount on the backplate without it tipping over? |
04:15 | < afny> | one of those cylinder backpack dealies would look cool. |
04:24 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah. Not much with those feet. |
04:26 | < Soren> | I would try those feet on something smaller, actually. |
04:26 | < Soren> | And build that guy new legs. |
04:34 | < Soren> | (I'm so positive. "Break it and make something else!") |
04:36 | | * afny piratevoice |
04:36 | < afny> | Sometimes, it be the only way. |
04:37 | < Soren> | Arr. |
04:40 | < afny> | Okay, so with that little Ijad fuchikoma, I've got a jumper set upside down into the hole at the back of the 2x2 plate w/ hole, but I don't really know how to use that to connect the slopes/jumpers that make up the abdomen. Do they somehow connect to the hole from the bottom? |
04:41 | < Soren> | oh, duh. |
04:41 | < Soren> | I didn't show that! |
04:41 | < Soren> | of course! |
04:41 | < Soren> | Yeah, there's another lampholder in there, upside-down. |

04:50 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukayn |
04:50 | < Noah> | I already have it, just noticed the new DLC |
04:50 | < Noah> | I bought the new HIB |
04:50 | < Dukayn> | What's it play like? It looks real nice on video |
04:51 | < Noah> | It's pretty neat, but you really have to like squad tactic games |
04:51 | < Dukayn> | I do |
04:52 | < Dukayn> | I'm just not very GOOD at them :P |
04:52 | < Noah> | It's semi-realtime/turnbased, you play 10 seconds at a time |

04:52 | < Dukayn> | SC? |
04:52 | < Dukayn> | You're going to Southern California? |
04:53 | < Noah> | And gameplay is synchronous, so each player tells their units what they should do, and the react to opposing units, and you give them specifics, such as aiming a certain way while moving, firing a rocket at a particular direction, etc |

04:59 | < MittenNinja> | Heya Duke |
05:01 | < Dukayn> | So, Soren and Cedric had a huge domestic over my HtH Osprey loadout :P |
05:01 | < Dukayn> | I think Ced even threw some glassware. |
05:01 | < Soren|SC> | Cedric tried. I was all placating before I called the cops. |
05:02 | < Dukayn> | Ah well there you go :) |
05:02 | < Dukayn> | Oh, and Ced and I worked on possible ECM designs to represent a B dice |
05:03 | < Dukayn> | I am still very keen to see what you were able to come up with. |
05:16 | < Dukayn> | I... killed the channel |
05:18 | < MittenNinja> | Nice. Yeah sorry. I'm at work right now |
05:18 | < MittenNinja> | So my responses my night be very prompt |
05:19 | < Dukayn> | Haha it's OK |
05:19 | < Dukayn> | I'm just bored |
05:27 | < MittenNinja> | I'm looking forward to Doug some work with the osprey tomorrow though |

05:32 | < Noah> | Hold fire |
05:32 | < Noah> | har har, I'm witty |
05:32 | < MittenNinja> | What parts of the osprey are your favorites? I may mess with the frame build a little and I don't want to kill the frame.for ya |
05:32 | | * Dukayn pats Noah on the back |
05:32 | < MittenNinja> | Hahaha |
05:32 | < Dukayn> | Sure you are buddy, sure you are |
05:32 | < Dukayn> | Hmm tough question. |
05:33 | < Dukayn> | Screw it, do with it what you want and I'll tell you if you've ruined my childhood when you're done :P |
05:33 | < Dukayn> | I can't think of any one piece which I think absolutely has to stay the same. |
05:33 | < MittenNinja> | Hahaha |
05:33 | < MittenNinja> | Alright, sounds good |
05:34 | < Dukayn> | Heck I've messed with the cockpit design a half dozen times as it is. As you'll see in the LDD as it has all 3 variants. |
05:34 | < MittenNinja> | Well I know with some of my frames there are parts I wouldn't change no matter what. |
05:34 | < MittenNinja> | The anacondas torso for example |
05:35 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
05:35 | < Dukayn> | Nah play with it, I don't really mind. |
05:35 | < Dukayn> | Just don't be offended if I decide not to keep the changes :) |
05:35 | < MittenNinja> | I won't be :) |
05:36 | < MittenNinja> | You going to build something for the frame chef? |
05:40 | < Dukayn> | Thinking about it yeah |
05:44 | < Dukayn> | EEEEEEEEEEEEE |
05:45 | < Dukayn> | I just paid for my Bricklink Order |
05:46 | < MittenNinja> | Hahaha. |
05:46 | < MittenNinja> | I'm kinda bummed, I have to hold off on ny Lego spending for a bit. |
05:47 | < Dukayn> | Only a small one, about half the parts needed for an Osprey. Decided in the early hours of this morning to just go and buy some stuff to make one, rather than pine over the fact that I can't. |
05:48 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, good call. |
05:48 | < MittenNinja> | I'm really tempted to go buy parts to build like 5 anacondas in dark green |
05:48 | < MittenNinja> | But I can't spend the ~$70 right now |
05:49 | < Dukayn> | Haha |
05:49 | < Dukayn> | I love the Anaconda |
05:49 | < Dukayn> | I started with his feet for the Osprey and built on it. |
05:50 | < MittenNinja> | I actually got the idea from the Fat Snakes Soren built for me. |
05:51 | < MittenNinja> | I build like that sometimes though |
05:51 | < MittenNinja> | Just mess with some pieces until I find a connection that looks sweet or interesting |
05:51 | < MittenNinja> | Then I run with it |
05:51 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
05:51 | | Soren|SC is now known as Soren |
05:52 | < MittenNinja> | The conda for example all started from the backpack |
05:53 | < Dukayn> | Heh, nice |
05:53 | < Dukayn> | Oh I found out today you can force Anti-Aliasing in LDD via your GPU settings. |
05:53 | < Dukayn> | After a reboot you get nice smooth lines instead of crappy jaggy ones |
05:53 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah? |
05:54 | < MittenNinja> | Nice |
05:54 | < MittenNinja> | I'll have to look into that |
06:08 | < Dukayn> | Soren: I beefed up the legs on the Kestrel. Wondering if it'll make much difference. http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Kestrel2.png |
06:10 | < Soren> | It does a bit. |
06:10 | < Soren> | I think the major problem is the width of the shoulders. |
06:11 | < Dukayn> | Yeah, could be. |
06:11 | < Soren> | I might try going with thicker legs, adding jumpers on the bottom of the toes, and adding another lamp holder as a heel in back. |
06:11 | < Dukayn> | They are quite wide to get around the chest |
06:12 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
06:12 | < Soren> | If you want new legs, I'd go with 2-wide calves. |
06:13 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
06:13 | < Dukayn> | Hmm, just realised I overcomplicated the shoulders |
06:13 | < Dukayn> | I can make it simpler and tighter |
06:17 | < Dukayn> | http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Kestrel3.png |
06:18 | < Soren> | Mmm. That looks more proportionate, yeah. |
06:18 | < Soren> | I just realized you could put the jumpers and heel on it and just slap some tiles on the sides of the calves. that would probably take care of the balance issue for good. |
06:19 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
06:19 | < Dukayn> | Definitely adding a heel |
06:19 | < Dukayn> | anyway I'll bbl, doc's appt |
06:19 | | Dukayn is now known as Dukayn[AFK] |

06:56 | | Dukayn[Mobile] [Dukayn[Mobi@949DD1.C84145.738EBF.B5558C] has joined #mf0 |
06:57 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Kids fell asleep in the car, bless them. So I get to sit here in the car with them, listening to Pink while the wife gets herself signed on as a patient. |
06:59 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Ooh, I scored a 7 attack in the pbp niiiice. Especially with that 5 spot :D |
07:00 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Even with a 6B roll he's getting hammered 6 times. |
07:01 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, the dice haven't been kind to me in my game |
07:09 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah, no fun when the dice go against you. But that's the charm of dice based games. Even the best players can be undone by bad rolls. |
07:09 | < MittenNinja> | Exactly. |
07:10 | | Soren|SC is now known as Soren |
07:12 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Welcome back, sir |
07:12 | < Soren> | ty |
07:13 | < MittenNinja> | How's it goin Mr Soren? |
07:13 | < Soren> | pretty awesome. |
07:13 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah? Why's that? |
07:14 | < Soren> | I just rolled Afny's face at Starcraft. |
07:14 | < afny> | :_: |
07:14 | < afny> | I'll get him one of these days. |
07:14 | < afny> | ONE OF THESE DAYS. |
07:14 | < Soren> | you got me the once. You'll get me again. |
07:14 | < afny> | I think we're... |
07:14 | < afny> | 1/4? |
07:14 | < afny> | 1/5? |
07:15 | < Soren> | the first game, you alomst beat my ass like a drum. |
07:15 | < Soren> | almost* |
07:15 | < MittenNinja> | I haven't played starcraft in years. |
07:15 | < afny> | well yeah, but then it became very obvious that I had no idea what to do with zerg past minute 4 |
07:15 | < afny> | and then my computer crashed |
07:15 | < afny> | . |
07:15 | < Soren> | Oh, I meant tonight. |
07:15 | < afny> | Oh. |
07:15 | < afny> | Well yeah. |
07:15 | < Soren> | You were laying down the hurt something fierce. |
07:15 | < afny> | Fuckkk that game |
07:15 | < afny> | Basically what happened was |
07:15 | < Soren> | I feel like we should cast it. |
07:15 | < afny> | I got a billion carriers but didn't build any observers |
07:16 | < afny> | oh dude we should, I saved the replay |
07:16 | < afny> | Anyway, I get really careless and I'm just sort of lazily mopping up his base |
07:16 | < Soren> | After I went firebat/Vulture into the coveted 'losing my whole fuckin' base' build. |
07:16 | < Soren> | I did too. |
07:16 | < Soren> | not saving it would have been a crime |
07:16 | < afny> | As I'm wrecking his base, he's desperately making wraiths in a base I don't know about. And I have no detection. |
07:17 | < afny> | By the time he destroys my EIGHT carriers with his wraiths, I've spent all my money repairing interceptors |
07:17 | < Soren> | while getting the cloak upgrade right under his nose. |
07:17 | < afny> | and have mined out my main. |
07:17 | < afny> | And like a dumbass, I never rebuilt my expo that he destroyed earlier. |
07:17 | < afny> | So I just sort of sit there and watch my empire burn. |
07:17 | < afny> | we could've played for another like 5 hours |
07:17 | < Soren> | also note that I'm trying to macro all this up with a load of shit in my pants the size of a birthday cake. |
07:18 | < afny> | I mean, what was your end game |
07:18 | < Soren> | Like, any second he could find me and my butt would look like it'd been slapped on a grill |
07:18 | < afny> | slowly kill my base with a few wraiths |
07:18 | < Soren> | pretty much |
07:18 | < afny> | yeah so it would've gone on |
07:18 | < afny> | but I had nothing. |
07:18 | < Soren> | Well, I was gonna get factory tech up and try to turbo-newbie you from a cliff |
07:18 | < Soren> | But who knows. |
07:18 | < afny> | No, you would've won, but it would've taken sooo long. |
07:19 | < Soren> | yeah |
07:19 | < afny> | Anyway it was intense. |
07:19 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Hahaha ah, RTS games. |
07:19 | < Soren> | Hey, this is how I feel when you guys talk tabletop :) |
07:19 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | So nerve wraxkibg |
07:19 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Wracking* |
07:19 | < afny> | that's the fun part |
07:20 | < Soren> | Some guys play football, I play SC. |
07:20 | < MittenNinja> | I still love the first dawn of war. Such a beautiful game. |
07:20 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | It was good. |
07:21 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Still favoured mass army builds though. I like DoW2's system a bit more. You can with so many different setups. |
07:22 | < Soren> | Mmmmmmmmacro. |
07:22 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | One of my faves is a Banshee rush against one of my mates because once under pressure he can't think about how to get out of it. |
07:22 | < Soren> | Prime that pump, baby! |
07:22 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, team games were where it was at with Dow. |
07:22 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | So I just keep sending Banshees at him and use Guardians to cap VPs in the backfield. |
07:23 | < MittenNinja> | Still nothing like three space marine players all specing in different stuff. |
07:23 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Oh yes |
07:23 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | SPEHS MEHREENS |
07:23 | < MittenNinja> | I still really dig the resource system from Dow more than any other rts. |
07:24 | < MittenNinja> | It forces you to try and control the map. |
07:24 | < Soren> | Hey, we'll share our replays if you guys share yours :D |
07:24 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah. Definitely. |
07:24 | < MittenNinja> | Turtleing is a death sentance. |
07:24 | < afny> | Only that one, though, mine are mostly embarrassing. |
07:24 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I just love that DOW2 removes base building. |
07:24 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I hate base building. |
07:24 | < MittenNinja> | See, I don't |
07:24 | < afny> | I actually really liked DoW2/Company of Heroes |
07:24 | < afny> | I mean it's a totally different kind of game |
07:25 | < MittenNinja> | Thats really what killed 2 for me. |
07:25 | < afny> | They just aren't even in the same genre. |
07:25 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Too many WC3 games spent running around the map to find my opponent sitting behind a 5 deep turret wall |
07:25 | < afny> | I don't even like Warhammer and I enjoyed the hell out of DoW2. My friends wanted to play it and I ended up getting really into it. |
07:25 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, that doesn't happen as often in Dow. Which is why I like it. |
07:26 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Yeah |
07:26 | < Soren> | I always try to play so that turtling is a death sentence. |
07:26 | < MittenNinja> | But it still allows you to have a second base and come back from the dead so to say. |
07:26 | < Soren> | "Oh, you're in there? I'm gonna take everything on the map and just blast you off eight production buildings." |
07:26 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Also, engi rush in cnc3 to steal your buildings. Fuck those guys. |
07:27 | < afny> | Yeah, Soren is quickly teaching me that to not expand is to die |
07:27 | < afny> | really really horribly. |
07:27 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Hehe |
07:27 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | So Soreb |
07:27 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Fuck |
07:27 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | soren. |
07:27 | < Soren> | Good advice from the daily: think of the major strategic concern as 'how and when do I get my third?' |
07:27 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | You don't play tabletop? |
07:27 | < MittenNinja> | I should see if I can find my sc discs and throw down with you guys. |
07:28 | < afny> | I'm never sure how relevant advice about expos from the daily is considering it's a different game |
07:28 | < afny> | but I'll keep that one in mind |
07:28 | < Soren> | Duk: nope, tabletoppers I've met have been creeps to me until J and V. |
07:28 | < Soren> | AF: the econ works about the same in both. |
07:28 | < Soren> | 2 is smoother but relies on macro abilities rather than simple mechanics |
07:28 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Lol cos online gamers are such gentle folk? ;) |
07:29 | < afny> | Ah, okay. The only difference I've heard him point out is that naturals are usually closer/more valuable in 2 |
07:29 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah there are some tabletop guys that are very... Shall we say... Interesting. |
07:29 | < Soren> | online, you can't smell 'em. |
07:29 | < afny> | I've never had a good experience with tabletop games/gamers. |
07:29 | < afny> | Well, scratch that. Wargamers. |
07:29 | < afny> | I've had good tabletop roleplay experiences. |
07:29 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Hahahha fair call |
07:29 | < Soren> | Af: That's a design thing. get good maps for 1, and it's the same thing |
07:29 | < MittenNinja> | I have, but those were also the same guys I played dnd with |
07:29 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I've never played outside my friend group so that helps |
07:29 | < afny> | yeah all the one's we've on have had a good natural |
07:30 | < afny> | we've played on* |
07:30 | < afny> | losing...coherence. |
07:30 | < afny> | |
07:30 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Hopefully MFZ attracts a classier crowd :) |
07:30 | < Soren> | The issue with SC is, you need a practice partner who plays the way you do. Otherwise you just get your face rolled on the interbutts by cheese=heads and cheaters. |
07:30 | < afny> | It already seems like it does. Or maybe not "classier", but just a fresh audience. |
07:31 | < afny> | Fresh maybe in the olfactory sense as well. |
07:31 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Heh |
07:31 | < Soren> | one attempts! |
07:31 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Speaking of classy folk, Chron has arced up again |
07:31 | < afny> | Yeah, that's why I've really enjoyed these games. You're clearly more practiced than me, but you don't just cheese your way to an instant victory when I make a visible mistake. |
07:31 | < MittenNinja> | I saw that |
07:31 | < afny> | I hope that we can still play when you get to KL/I get SC2. |
07:32 | < Soren> | me too. |
07:32 | < afny> | Ping might be an issue but at least I'm East Coast. |
07:32 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Guy's brain is from a different time/space continuum. |
07:32 | < Soren> | yeah |
07:32 | < Soren> | Well, I don't care about the win/loss ratio at all. |
07:32 | < afny> | I just care about playing/learning |
07:33 | < afny> | And the sweet, sweet blizzard audio files. |
07:33 | < Soren> | I like teasing the game structure apart by playing. |
07:33 | < Soren> | like, oh, that's why they put that ability in there. That's why these numbers are the way they are. |
07:33 | < afny> | Yeah |
07:33 | < afny> | For me, what's got me hooked on it this time around at least |
07:33 | < afny> | definitely not in '99, but |
07:34 | < Soren> | And setting yourself little challenges, like, can I hurt him real bad without an expansion? How about with no air? |
07:34 | < Soren> | How does *this* composition work? |
07:34 | < afny> | With SC, mastery is just such a huge aspect, and the results are so visceral. |
07:34 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I rarely play games to win. I play because I enjoy the game play. One of the reasons I stopped playing COD. I wasn't having fun if I wasn't winning. And as I don't exploit or cheat or spend 24/7 playing, I rarely won. |
07:34 | < Soren> | frex: the firebat/vulture thing is weirdly immobile. |
07:34 | < Soren> | You have map control, but you can't do a lot with it. |
07:35 | < Soren> | turtle to air is actually a good counter. |
07:35 | < afny> | yeah, but I only did that BECAUSE I knew you were going vultures |
07:35 | < Soren> | but it still worked. |
07:35 | < afny> | it's basically the only counter |
07:35 | < afny> | except going early dragoon range and obs |
07:35 | < afny> | and scouting out the mines |
07:35 | < afny> | which, in retrospect, might've served me better |
07:35 | < Soren> | actually, an early push to your natural is what would have saved you. |
07:36 | < Soren> | once I mined that, all I had to do was kill any other expansions and wait for you to run out of money |
07:36 | < afny> | Well yeah, we've already established that everything I do would be magnified by better expansion |
07:36 | < Soren> | probably, although there are valid builds that expand late. |
07:36 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I could never get into Starcraft. No idea why. |
07:36 | < Soren> | they're just reliant on early pressure. |
07:36 | | * Soren was 13/14 in 1999. |
07:37 | < Soren> | That's why. |
07:37 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | I was 18 |
07:37 | < afny> | I was 9, which is why I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING |
07:37 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Maybe that's it. I was too drunk. |
07:37 | < Soren> | Well, I played like a sackful of smashed assholes back then. |
07:37 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | OK time to drive. Chat layer. |
07:38 | < afny> | o/ |
07:38 | < Soren> | later! |
07:38 | < Dukayn[Mobile]> | Later. Fuck you, phone. |
07:38 | | Dukayn[Mobile] [Dukayn[Mobi@949DD1.C84145.738EBF.B5558C] has quit [[NS] Quit: Bye] |
07:39 | < afny> | I really need to get 60 bucks and get SC2 so I can learn good play and learn the units at the same time. |
07:39 | < afny> | I mean I love SC1 but I actually know people besides you that play SC2. |
07:41 | < Soren> | heh, yeah |
07:41 | < Soren> | WE SHALL MONOBATTLE |
07:41 | < Soren> | Oh, another thing: |
07:41 | < afny> | I call phoenix. |
07:41 | < Soren> | hee |
07:41 | < afny> | So I can LIFT. |
07:41 | < Soren> | stalker! |
07:42 | < Soren> | no, that's mean. |
07:42 | < Soren> | But. |
07:42 | < Soren> | that thing about third bases that gets overlooked is that if I can get one up, hidden and unmolested, I can *always* come back from a lost attack, I counter faster, and i can tech while rebuilding. |
07:43 | < afny> | Not to mention the extra minerals |
07:43 | < Soren> | if you've got that, plus a good plan for which unit is going to do the heavy lifting, you just get up four to eight of that production building and you can blast 'em. |
07:43 | < Soren> | IT's like making someone drink from a firehose. |
07:44 | < Soren> | That's why I prefer to attack later, wall, and defend, until I have enough up to play counter-and-expand. |
07:46 | < Soren> | MFZ analogy: you have seven guys, you need to do more... but you do have a slight advantage in that you've got a more forgiving configuration. What you do with each unit (micro) is less important than having a plan for all your units (macro) |
07:47 | < Soren> | I prefer the macro game, which is why I send guys to die a lot. |
07:47 | < Soren> | it's just, eh, if he holds it off, that's attention he's not spending on hunting down my expansions. |
07:47 | < Soren> | if it does damage, great. |
07:48 | < Soren> | But getting you locked down while I expand is all I need that attack to do. |
07:51 | < Soren> | Eventually, if I just keep macroing, I can hit you with that one attack that you can't resist. |
08:05 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukayn |
08:05 | < Dukayn> | I RETURN |
08:05 | < Soren> | wb |
08:06 | < MittenNinja> | So you're a boomerang? |
08:08 | < afny> | Haha, I get it. Australia. |
08:08 | < Dukayn> | LAWL |
08:09 | < afny> | HEY GUY what's it like BEING UPSIDE DOWN. |
08:09 | < afny> | I bet you FALL INTO THE SKY all the TIME. |
08:09 | < Dukayn> | Yeah it's a bitch |
08:09 | < afny> | Because you're in AUSTRALIA. |
08:10 | < Dukayn> | I would just like to point out that the US is stuck to the SIDE of the plent |
08:10 | < Dukayn> | plent? WTF? |
08:10 | < Dukayn> | no, planet |
08:10 | < Dukayn> | so you're just as likely to fall off. |
08:10 | < afny> | Hmmm I'm not following. Nope. |
08:10 | < afny> | We're on the TOP of the planet you see. |
08:11 | < afny> | And things GENERALLY fall downward. |
08:11 | < afny> | Look. I just dropped my eraser. |
08:11 | < afny> | It fell more or less down. |
08:11 | < Dukayn> | You are not on top, because you are not in the arctic circle my friend |
08:12 | < afny> | That's why my eraser only fell more or less down. Not STRAIGHT down. |
08:13 | < Soren> | You know, I hear the Chilean Navy has a whole unit dedicated to rescuing people who are hanging on to that little hook at the bottom of Patagonia. |
08:14 | < afny> | If ONLY they'd stop LIVING there! |
08:14 | < Dukayn> | I believe that |
08:19 | < Dukayn> | Oh, LOL |
08:19 | < Dukayn> | I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. It was like, "dude, you have to wait." |
08:19 | < Dukayn> | BADUM-TISH |
08:19 | < afny> | The joke is you were enabling his alcoholism. |
08:20 | < MittenNinja> | Ah good ol mitch hedberg |
08:20 | < Dukayn> | Haha yea |
08:21 | < MittenNinja> | Bananas re the exact opposite of a stop light. Green means hold on wait a bit. Yellow means go right ahaead. And red means where the fuck did you get that banana at. |
08:21 | < afny> | I read it in his voice. |
08:22 | < MittenNinja> | I was lucky enough to see him on his last show in Minneapolis before he died. |
08:22 | < MittenNinja> | Amazing show |
08:22 | < Soren> | I think I've got something interesting re: Osprey feet. |
08:22 | < Dukayn> | Also, this makes me giggle like a little girl http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2198 |
08:22 | < Dukayn> | ORLY? |
08:23 | < Dukayn> | Do tell |
08:23 | < Soren> | why tell, when I can finish up and show? |
08:23 | < Dukayn> | When did you get the LDD file? |
08:24 | < Dukayn> | ZOMG IP THEFT INSERT CHRONESQUE RANT HERE |
08:24 | < Dukayn> | Wait, Osprey feet or Kestrel feet? |
08:25 | < Dukayn> | And I have now just figured out that having kids makes you WAY more impatient than you used to be. It's like ADHD rubs off on you as a parent. |
08:25 | < MittenNinja> | See the differenceis you made that frame. Our friend chrons didn't make the frame he was claiming was stolen. |
08:25 | < Soren> | oops. |
08:25 | < Soren> | Kestrel |
08:25 | < Dukayn> | Ah, less confusion |
08:27 | < Dukayn> | SHOW MEH THA FEETZ |
08:28 | < Soren> | workin' on it |
08:28 | < Dukayn> | WERK FASTAH |
08:29 | < Dukayn> | OK, so I'm tired, have a MASSIVE cup of tea here so YAY CAFFEINE and my kids' level of energy seems to rub off by me acting like a complete tool. |
08:29 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7312998414/lightbox/ |
08:29 | < Dukayn> | ALSO in an hour I will be seeing AVENGERS. |
08:29 | < afny> | Caffeine is a ridiculous drug |
08:29 | < Dukayn> | That looks sexy |
08:29 | < afny> | And I'm so happy that it affects you the same way it affects me; it makes you randomly capitalize things. |
08:30 | < afny> | I do it in speech, too. I just get real loud in the middle of a sentence, and talk really energetically. Then I start talking fast, but quiet. |
08:30 | < Dukayn> | LOL, "Get it off!" |
08:30 | < afny> | is it still there |
08:30 | < Dukayn> | Yarp http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7312998972/in/photostream/lightbox/ |
08:31 | < afny> | I think I'm going to use it when I want to field a frame with no weapons |
08:31 | < afny> | or one df/movement and some combo of that |
08:32 | < afny> | really gotta replace the 2 way brick with a motor in that reverse knee frame |
08:33 | < afny> | I've improved that design a lot since I made that one |
08:35 | < Dukayn> | yeh |
08:35 | < Dukayn> | I like it. |
08:35 | < Dukayn> | E SO CUTE |
08:36 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/q2dzh9zity4aw72/Kestrel%20Legs.jpg HERE YOU GO |
08:37 | < Soren> | should work just fine with your hip design, too |
08:38 | < Soren> | Gives you heel and toe articulation like it's no big thing |
08:39 | < Dukayn> | That's nice |
08:39 | < Dukayn> | Any reason for the plate/tile on top of the round instead of a 2x2 round tile? |
08:39 | < Soren> | it's what I had on hand |
08:40 | < MittenNinja> | I like it. Very similar to the feet on my heavy Chubs |
08:40 | < afny> | you could also put an accent color round 1 x 1 in the empty slot in the knee. |
08:41 | < Dukayn> | cool I'll stick it in and have a play |
08:41 | < Dukayn> | I like it |
08:41 | < Soren> | thanks. |
08:41 | < Soren> | Just popped into my head. |
08:41 | < Soren> | Should be pretty stable, too. |
08:41 | < Dukayn> | Ya |
08:42 | < MittenNinja> | That's a technic 1x1 brick in there right? |
08:42 | < Soren> | yeah |
08:42 | < Soren> | but anything that connects. |
08:42 | < MittenNinja> | I really need to start using those more often. |
08:43 | < Dukayn> | FUCK YOU LDD |
08:43 | < Dukayn> | I can't put a technic brick on a travis stud |
08:43 | < MittenNinja> | Nope. |
08:43 | < afny> | See? It should die. |
08:43 | < Dukayn> | Ah well, I'm out anyway. Thanks for the tip I'll work with it. |
08:43 | | Dukayn is now known as Dukayn[AVENGERS] |
08:43 | < Soren> | I'll throw a couple in with your company. Should have enough extra. |
08:43 | < Soren> | later Duke! |
08:44 | < afny> | o/ |
08:44 | < MittenNinja> | Thanks man! Are you by chance giving away legos so you don't have to pack as many? |
08:45 | < Soren> | Well, I'm giving away either stuff I don't want, or stuff that I bought extras of for the custom stuff. |
08:45 | < Soren> | the good stuff, I'm keepin' :) |
08:45 | < MittenNinja> | Gotcha. |
08:46 | < afny> | Hey, Mitten |
08:46 | < afny> | are you like a moderator or something |
08:46 | < afny> | on the board? |
08:46 | < MittenNinja> | Hahaha. Well any extras of useful stuff you don't want ill totally take off yer hands :) |
08:46 | < afny> | Or Soren? |
08:46 | < MittenNinja> | I am not. |
08:46 | < Soren> | nope! |
08:46 | < afny> | Well then don't go to the 2nd page of the I Hate... thread in General. |
08:46 | < afny> | Because I'm pretty sure that's a picture of a prolapsed anus. |
08:46 | < Soren> | oh, dear. |
08:47 | < afny> | I didn't look all that close. It could be something else EQUALLY disgusting. |
08:51 | < MittenNinja> | That's friggin gross |
08:54 | < Soren> | I'm not looking. |
08:54 | < Soren> | I'm... fuck it, there goes my willpower. |
08:54 | < afny> | I accidentally clicked it AGAIN |
08:54 | < afny> | I don't think it's an anus anymore |
08:54 | < afny> | but I didn't gather any useful information. |
08:54 | < MittenNinja> | Whatever it is its disturbing and disgusting. |
08:55 | < MittenNinja> | This guy is ridiculous |
09:00 | < Soren> | 'guy' seems optimistic. |
09:00 | < Soren> | He's either a 14-year-old kid or developmentally delayed. |
09:00 | < Soren> | severely delayed. |
09:00 | < MittenNinja> | Or both |
09:01 | < Soren> | you can't rule it out. |
09:02 | < Soren> | yeah, not there. |
09:02 | < Soren> | phew. |
09:02 | < Soren> | missed tha tbullet |
09:02 | < MittenNinja> | What's not there? The picture? |
09:02 | < Soren> | ...he says, and sees it. |
09:03 | < Soren> | probably prolapsed rectum. That looks like anal mucus. |
09:03 | < MittenNinja> | I was gonna say |
09:03 | < Soren> | I used to have a friend named Paul. He's an RN. |
09:03 | < Soren> | He gets his jollies by showing people of gross genital damage and deformity. |
09:03 | < Soren> | The ones that are too gross for anyone but medical professionals. |
09:03 | < MittenNinja> | I'll take your word on It man. I've got nothing on this |
09:04 | < Soren> | That's bad, but it's on par with your average browse through 4chan. |
09:04 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah. I'll pass on those. |
09:04 | < Soren> | anyway, that could have been way worse. |
09:04 | < MittenNinja> | I'm not a 4chaner |
09:04 | < Soren> | it's still incredibly bad, and supremely bannable. |
09:04 | < MittenNinja> | Oh absolutely |
09:06 | < afny> | I've seen much worse on the internet |
09:06 | < afny> | b |
09:06 | < afny> | +ut that doesn't mean I looked closely. |
09:08 | < Soren> | I definitely closed it out. |
09:09 | < MittenNinja> | It's been reported too. Which means ceddo will get to it by mornibg |
09:09 | < Soren> | poor Ced. That's gonna fuck with his coffee and strudel something awful. |
09:10 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, I almost wish I could see the look on his face. |
09:13 | < Soren> | I can imagine it. |
09:14 | < Soren> | funny thing. I could talk to the guy, and I honestly don't have anything against him. |
09:14 | < Soren> | But he's more or less proven that he just likes flipping out. |
09:17 | < Soren> | Shit, it's probably the only way he can get it up. |
09:17 | < Soren> | So he should get his ass banned with the quickness. |
09:18 | < afny> | I'm going to get my ass to bed with the quickness instead. |
09:19 | < afny> | night |

13:58 | < Ceddo> | Bricklink is down. |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | Boo. |
13:59 | < Dukayn> | Ah well |
13:59 | < Dukayn> | Good for my wallet :P |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | And my TCP stack is, too. |
13:59 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | Fuck this shit. |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | Srsly. |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | What a cunt badger. |
13:59 | < Dukayn> | You should just create a .bat file to reset it every 30 minutes |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | UNACCEPTABLE. |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | Also: Bloated Asp is a go. |
13:59 | < Ceddo> | I now have 3 companies done. And 2 in the mail. |
14:00 | < Ceddo> | I feel dirty. |
14:00 | < Dukayn> | For naming it so... uniquely? |
14:00 | < Ceddo> | For having 40 'frames. |
14:00 | < Ceddo> | And 8 Stations. |
14:00 | < Dukayn> | lol |
14:00 | < Ceddo> | Next month will be terrain. |
14:00 | < Dukayn> | I'd feel happy |
14:00 | < Dukayn> | I have 1 frame |
14:00 | < Ceddo> | No ... no you would not. |
14:00 | < Dukayn> | I can make 2 at the same time |
14:01 | < Ceddo> | See, I don't have a wife. |
14:01 | < Ceddo> | There is no constraint in my bank account. |
14:01 | < Dukayn> | If one is my take on a Chub, and the other is my take on an Ijad. |
14:01 | < Ceddo> | Which is good, if you want a lot of things fast. |
14:01 | < Ceddo> | Which is bad, if you want to keep your money. |
14:02 | < Dukayn> | Ok here's a request, if you have the parts. Do you reckon you could brick up an Osprey so I can see what they look like in the brick? |

14:06 | < Dukayn> | 23:01DukaynOk here's a request, if you have the parts. Do you reckon you could brick up an Osprey so I can see what they look like in the brick? |
14:07 | < Cedric> | Ah! |
14:07 | < Cedric> | Yeah sure I can do that. Lemme have a quick look. Can I have the LXF file of the variant you want me to build? |
14:07 | < Cedric> | Might not be in colour, but I can try. |
14:07 | < Dukayn> | Yeah that's cool |
14:07 | < Cedric> | It's gonna take me 6 hours, though. |
14:08 | < Dukayn> | not a prob, I'm just curious as to how they work in the real world |
14:08 | < Cedric> | Because, I am still at work, won't be home before another 5:30 has passed. |
14:08 | < Cedric> | Well, I'll look for loose connections and issues, to. Want me to post the images into your thread? |
14:08 | < Cedric> | If I find anything superwobbly or loose, I can work on a fix while I am at it. |
14:09 | < Dukayn> | http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Osprey_Brawler.lxf |
14:09 | < Dukayn> | Don't have to do the SSR pod if you don't want. |
14:09 | < Cedric> | Also, LDD is back online. |
14:09 | < Dukayn> | brb |
14:09 | < Dukayn> | Sweet. |
14:09 | < Dukayn> | But yeah post the images to my Osprey Variants thread, that'd be great ta :) |
14:10 | < Cedric> | No prob. Lemme just check the parts list. |
14:11 | < Cedric> | I can probably build him in lime. :D |
14:12 | < Dukayn> | hahah |
14:12 | < Dukayn> | whatever you've got dude |
14:12 | < Cedric> | I ate through my last black travis bricks last night. |
14:12 | < Dukayn> | Not going to nitpick over a favour you're doing for me. |
14:12 | < Cedric> | Those Bloated Asps took 9 each. |
14:12 | < Cedric> | At least not 10 like the original! :D |
14:13 | < Dukayn> | HEH |
14:13 | < Dukayn> | Well the Osprey is 7 |
14:13 | < Cedric> | Yeah, I can swing that in light bley. |
14:13 | < Dukayn> | 4 for legs, 2 for shoulders, and 1 for torso/groin joint |
14:14 | < Cedric> | Mhmm ... yeah, I am sure I can build him. |
14:16 | < Dukayn> | AWesome, you rock |
14:21 | < Cedric> | Here. |
14:21 | < Cedric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/osprey_ldd.png |
14:26 | < Dukayn> | That actually looks OK |
14:27 | < Dukayn> | If you have the bits, do the rest in that colour scheme instead of trying to keep black/orange. If not, don't fret. |
14:30 | < Dukayn> | Oh I also found out you can force Anti-Aliasing into LDD through your graphics card control panel settings. |
14:30 | < Dukayn> | Needs a reboot, but it works. Looks so much nicer. |
14:33 | < Cedric> | Tell me how. :D |
14:34 | < Dukayn> | What graphics chip you running? ATI/AMD or Nvidia or some onboard crap? |
14:35 | < Cedric> | ATI Radeon Mobility. |
14:35 | < Dukayn> | Hmm ok |
14:35 | < Dukayn> | That uses Catalyst Control Centre right? |
14:36 | < Cedric> | Heh. It could. |
14:36 | < Cedric> | But I only use the drivers. No CCC. |
14:36 | < Dukayn> | ah yeah |
14:36 | < Dukayn> | good man :P |
14:36 | < Cedric> | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650. |
14:36 | < Cedric> | That's what's in here. |
14:37 | < Dukayn> | Hmm. Not sure without the Control Center. |
14:37 | < Dukayn> | My only other GPU is an Nvidia |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | Win7? |
14:42 | < Dukayn> | Hmm you might need CCC |
14:51 | < Cedric> | Meh. |
14:51 | < Cedric> | It's alright. |

15:01 | < Cedric> | It did. |
15:01 | < Cedric> | I just came up with two dozen names. :D |
15:01 | < Cedric> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1003&p=3466#p3466 |
15:01 | < Cedric> | There. 4 companies. :D |
15:05 | < Dukayn> | heh, crazy man |
15:07 | < Dukayn> | So you said you checked your inventory before. Where do you have that listed? |
15:07 | < Cedric> | My inventory? |
15:07 | < Cedric> | Or do you mean the parts list in LDD? |
15:07 | < Cedric> | I also see that schoon is doing a bad job. |
15:07 | < Dukayn> | No you said inventory. When checking if you had parts for an Osprey |
15:07 | < Cedric> | Nightingale Alphe is taking 2 hits. |
15:08 | < Cedric> | I'll go in and fix that. |
15:08 | < Dukayn> | Huh? |
15:08 | < Dukayn> | I don't see the error. |
15:08 | < Cedric> | Wait, no. |
15:09 | < Cedric> | I am stupid. |
15:09 | < Cedric> | But I am writing down the game as it goes in chronological order, to write an RP summary again. :D |
15:09 | < Dukayn> | Banana lost 2 systems |
15:09 | < Dukayn> | Ah ok |
15:09 | < Dukayn> | That was really nice, too |
15:10 | | * Cedric checks all the steps he has ... |
15:10 | < Cedric> | Last action was Banana dropping. |
15:10 | < Cedric> | And then it was your turn again,. |
15:10 | < Cedric> | You activate your last 'frame, shooting up Carrot. |
15:10 | < Dukayn> | Then I shot Carrot |
15:11 | < Dukayn> | With a whopping 12 total :D |
15:11 | < Cedric> | Wait, not your last. |
15:11 | < Cedric> | You have 2, eh? |
15:11 | < Cedric> | Which Hawk was firing again? |
15:11 | < Dukayn> | Alpha |
15:11 | < Dukayn> | The one closest to his Eastern station |
15:12 | < Dukayn> | Which I'm thinking might be mine once his big guns have been worn down |
15:12 | < Cedric> | And then, Beta goes, eh? |
15:13 | < Cedric> | Can you quickly give me SH-Alpha's and Carrot rolls? |
15:13 | < Dukayn> | Carrot hasn't rolled yet |
15:13 | < Cedric> | Oh. |
15:14 | < Cedric> | Well, then SH-A. :D |
15:14 | < Dukayn> | Sparrowhawk Alpha's rolls: R2 R2 R7 G2 G3 W1 W2 |
15:14 | < Dukayn> | fucken shithouse for move/defense |
15:14 | < Cedric> | So Def 2 and Move 3. Where do you move? |
15:14 | < Cedric> | Yeah, I'll put that into the post. You'll like it. :D |
15:15 | < Dukayn> | Well, if I'm not quite in DF range of Carrot I'll be moving closer ;) |
15:15 | < Dukayn> | I find it hard to tell |
15:15 | < Dukayn> | as there is no hard grid |
15:17 | < Cedric> | Nightingales have what for their arty systems? |
15:17 | < Dukayn> | Sniper rifle |
15:17 | < Dukayn> | That WangTech Gorgon monster |
15:17 | < Cedric> | And what do the SH use? |
15:18 | < Dukayn> | These: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/JA-04_Sparrowhawk_1.png |
15:19 | < Cedric> | Gotcha, dual gatlings. |
15:19 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
15:19 | < Dukayn> | "assault gatlings" if you will :P |
15:20 | < Dukayn> | And Alpha has a pair of SSRs on his shoulder pods |
15:20 | < Cedric> | Gotcha. |
15:20 | < Dukayn> | Beta has a single on his left shoulder pod |
15:22 | < Cedric> | You'll like it. |
15:22 | < Cedric> | I gotta grab a laptop and bring it to the minister's aide. Because she's hot shit, she can't come get it. |
15:23 | < Cedric> | PS: We're right there, next to the elevator, on the way down. |
15:23 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
15:23 | < Cedric> | I'm not even gonna comment on that. |
15:23 | < Dukayn> | That sounds about right. |

15:43 | < Cedric> | Also: Don't like the Kestrel. :D |
15:44 | < Dukayn> | Heh |
15:44 | < Dukayn> | It's my least favourite I've made |
15:44 | < Dukayn> | It's also a Chub variant, but trying not to look like it |
15:44 | < Dukayn> | so it fails at both ends lol |
15:45 | < Cedric> | You're not gonna be happy with it. |
15:45 | < Cedric> | Next tot the Osprey, it'll fail. :D |
15:45 | < Dukayn> | I figured I should give it some attention |
15:46 | < Dukayn> | As it was the last frame I made in the brick |
15:46 | < Dukayn> | But alas I think it'll stay in storage at the Jotorian Armouries Field Testing Yard. |

15:47 | < Cedric> | Well, let's talk about what's hot right now. |
15:47 | < MittenNinja> | you mean chrons? |
15:48 | < Cedric> | a.) Chrons is permabanned. For posting the picture of a bleeding asshole. |
15:48 | < Cedric> | With puss and more. It was quite gross. |
15:48 | < MittenNinja> | yep, saw that |
15:48 | < MittenNinja> | i was the one who reported it |
15:48 | < Cedric> | b.) New Iguana variant is up. |
15:48 | < MittenNinja> | saw that too |
15:48 | < Dukayn> | Thankfully I missed that picture |
15:48 | < MittenNinja> | looks good man |
15:48 | < Dukayn> | He must have edited it in later as I saw and responded to his post. |
15:48 | < Cedric> | Thanks. I just needed 2 'frames to get my serpents to 8. :D |
15:48 | < MittenNinja> | at first i was like "whats different?" then i looked harder |
15:49 | < Cedric> | So I whipped those up. |
15:49 | < MittenNinja> | nice subtle changes |
15:49 | < Cedric> | Oh yeah, it's subtle. |
15:49 | < MittenNinja> | and it looks good man |
15:49 | < Dukayn> | It certainly is subtle |
15:49 | < Cedric> | Thankies, glad you like it. |
15:49 | < Dukayn> | I couldn't tell either :P |
15:49 | < MittenNinja> | the biggest difference is the mounted gatling gun |
15:49 | < Cedric> | Yeah, I jus think that's cool. :D |
15:50 | < Cedric> | The side torsos are Travis-Headlight. |
15:50 | < Cedric> | Mounted sideways. |
15:50 | < Cedric> | The arms are Travis-Round-Claw |
15:50 | < Cedric> | The top hull is Jumper-1x2 tile, with the tile move up to meet the trans-black slope |
15:51 | < Cedric> | c.) Your PbP has no RP posts, ours does. :D |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | what makes a jumper a jumper? |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | I'm not familiar |
15:51 | < Cedric> | A 1x2 tile with a stud on top. |
15:51 | < Cedric> | Under "plate" in LDD. |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | ah right |
15:51 | < Cedric> | It's just called "jumper". |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | Ah ok |
15:51 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | I just call it 1x2 with single stud |
15:51 | < Cedric> | There's a 2x2 version of it, too. |
15:51 | < MittenNinja> | ours is much more tactics based |
15:51 | < Dukayn> | as that's what LDraw calls it |
15:51 | < Cedric> | Mittens: See, I didn't get to go yet. |
15:52 | < Cedric> | My tactics are ready for weeks. :D |
15:52 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
15:52 | < Dukayn> | And they all start with "Now that Duke has followed my plan, I can rape him in his butthole MUAHAHAHAHA" |
15:52 | < Cedric> | At least I get to go before Trilly. |
15:52 | < Cedric> | Why would I do that? |
15:53 | < Cedric> | Completely detrimental to my goals |
15:53 | < Cedric> | You are my friend. |
15:53 | < Dukayn> | Well |
15:53 | < Cedric> | A friend in need is a friend indeed. ;) |
15:53 | < MittenNinja> | Alrighty Duke. |
15:53 | < Dukayn> | Until Trilly's out of the picture |
15:53 | < Dukayn> | Unless you wanna go 50/50 in the goods? |
15:53 | < Dukayn> | My contract is negotiable. |
15:53 | < MittenNinja> | Im finally able to sit down at my home computer and look at that ldd file you sent me |
15:53 | < Dukayn> | heh, cool |
15:53 | < MittenNinja> | sometimes i fucking hate my job |
15:53 | < Cedric> | My contract tells me to make sure those mines don't fall into Roughneck hands. |
15:54 | < Cedric> | But UMFL losses are acceptable to my client. |
15:54 | < Dukayn> | You can have the mines. We just want the ore out of them. Once we have that, you can keep the fucken mines :P |
15:55 | < Dukayn> | This game so needs an option to pack up your stuff and run with it hahahah |
15:55 | < Cedric> | lol |
15:55 | < Cedric> | That would the best fucking button in an RTS ever. |
15:55 | < Dukayn> | It'd make snatch and grab missions possible for us pirate types |
15:55 | < Cedric> | "Fuck that noise and bounce? Yes/No" |
15:56 | < Cedric> | "CONFIRMED!" |
15:56 | < Cedric> | "You grabbed your shit and made like a tree and fucked off. Good job!" |
15:56 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
15:56 | < Cedric> | Easiest. Game. Ever. |
15:56 | < Cedric> | Totally pro at that. :D |
15:57 | < Cedric> | Dukey: Snatch&Grab, campaign style. You have to make it with one 'frame across the battlefield. |
15:57 | < Cedric> | ENJOY. |
15:57 | < Dukayn> | lol |
15:57 | < Dukayn> | Ok my frame is going to be BBGG. And he's just gonna RUUUUUUN! |
15:58 | < Cedric> | Really? Sweet. |
15:58 | < Cedric> | HtH in the face. |
15:58 | < MittenNinja> | so DUke you havent built one of these guys yet right? |
15:58 | < Cedric> | Ha, backup's done. Time to change media. |
15:58 | < Cedric> | BRB. |
16:04 | | MittenNinja is now known as Mitten |
16:05 | | Mitten is now known as Mitten|Building |
16:06 | < Cedric> | Backsies. |
16:06 | < Cedric> | Time to format those bitches! |
16:06 | < Cedric> | Fucking. Bricklink. |
16:07 | < Cedric> | Fucking. TCP. Stack. |
16:07 | < Dukayn> | No haven't got the bricks |
16:07 | < Cedric> | Fucking fuck fuck. |
16:07 | < Dukayn> | I've asked Ced to build me one :P |
16:07 | < Cedric> | And I will! |
16:08 | < Dukayn> | Oh Ced, this is basically what the Nightingale will look like: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/NightingaleAlpha.png |
16:09 | < Dukayn> | I fucking love that gun |
16:10 | < Cedric> | Guess what's not working right now. |
16:10 | < Dukayn> | lol |
16:12 | < Dukayn> | Oh I got Anti Aliasing set on my laptop which has a radeon but it was through CCC |
16:16 | < Dukayn> | Ced, got a question about your RP post |
16:18 | < Cedric> | Hit me. |
16:19 | < Dukayn> | It reads to me like at some stage you got my Roughnecks confused with Trilly's UMFL guys |
16:19 | < Dukayn> | Or am I just reading it wrong? |
16:19 | < Cedric> | No, that is the case entirely. |
16:20 | < Cedric> | And I will go ahead and amend that. |
16:20 | < Cedric> | I just realized that, too. |
16:20 | < Cedric> | As soon as my internet works again, it will be fixed. |
16:20 | < Dukayn> | Ah cool |
16:20 | < Cedric> | Because, FUCK THIS SHIT. |
16:20 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
16:20 | < Cedric> | Oh boy. |
16:20 | < Cedric> | I got 2:40h left on the clock. |
16:20 | < Dukayn> | I don't LOL |
16:21 | < Cedric> | TIME TO CIRCUMSIZE MY ASSHOLE. I hate this idle time. |
16:21 | < Dukayn> | It's already 1.20am |
16:21 | < Cedric> | In 10 minutes, this house will be empty. |
16:21 | < Cedric> | At 5:30, most people are gone. |
16:21 | < Cedric> | Guess who watches the phone until 8? |
16:21 | < Cedric> | Protip: It's easy. |
16:22 | < Dukayn> | You poor bastard |
16:22 | < Dukayn> | You can't divert to mobile or something? |
16:24 | < Cedric> | Fixed. |
16:24 | < Dukayn> | TCP or your phone situation? :P |
16:24 | < Dukayn> | or the RP |
16:24 | < Cedric> | RP. |
16:24 | < Dukayn> | Cool |
16:25 | < Dukayn> | I'm totes waiting for that arty frame of Trilly's to get a coherent energy blade in its metallic trachea. |
16:35 | < Cedric> | Dukey: My post has more icons than yours. |
16:36 | < Dukayn> | AAAAHHHHHH! |
16:36 | < Dukayn> | So many icons! |
16:36 | < Dukayn> | I think you may overload his optical nerve |
16:37 | < Mitten|Building> | Dukayn I hate to tell you this, but your build is a tad back heavy |
16:37 | < Cedric> | Thehehehe. |
16:37 | < Cedric> | Mittens: That's what I was dreading. |
16:37 | < Dukayn> | With the jump pack? |
16:37 | < Cedric> | The feet have little to no backrest. |
16:37 | < Mitten|Building> | without the jump pack |
16:37 | < Dukayn> | oh |
16:37 | < Dukayn> | drat |
16:37 | < Cedric> | You could hunch it forward. |
16:37 | < Cedric> | Or give it bigger feet. |
16:38 | < Mitten|Building> | i had to move the torso forward a full peg and hunch it over without the backpack to get it to stand easily |
16:38 | < Mitten|Building> | I'm gonna do some fiddling |
16:38 | < Cedric> | Actually, a single 1x1 plate attached with a 1x2 tile to the heel might work. |
16:38 | < Cedric> | Y'know what I mean? |
16:38 | < Dukayn> | I'm wondering why to be honest. In LDD everything is straight up and down, basically |
16:39 | < Dukayn> | it all centres around the middle of the frame. |
16:39 | < Cedric> | Center of mass, Dukey. |
16:39 | < Cedric> | You have a lot of the parts in the upper back. The further away from the point of rotation, the more impact miniscule shifts have. |
16:39 | < Cedric> | If you weight is in the hips, it's all good. |
16:40 | < Cedric> | If it's on the shoulderblades, it can be less weight, but still has more impact. |
16:41 | < Dukayn> | How did you move it a peg forward? |
16:47 | < Cedric> | The suspense is killing me. |
16:55 | < Mitten|Building> | Alrighty |
16:55 | < Mitten|Building> | first attempt |
16:55 | < Mitten|Building> | I changed up the legs a bit |
16:56 | < Cedric> | I'm so stoked! |
16:56 | < Mitten|Building> | and put the "jamming packs" between the shoulders and the cockpit |
16:56 | < Mitten|Building> | this is for the 2x hth 2x y build |
16:56 | < Mitten|Building> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4s8td519kybhfb/DSC_0580.JPG |
16:56 | < Mitten|Building> | still missing some tiles |
16:56 | < Cedric> | 2x YY ? |
16:56 | < Mitten|Building> | and the colors are all mismatched |
16:57 | < Mitten|Building> | but you get the idea |
16:57 | < Mitten|Building> | derp |
16:57 | < Mitten|Building> | B |
16:57 | < Cedric> | :D |
16:57 | < Mitten|Building> | 2x B |
16:58 | | maoranma is now known as Noah |
16:58 | | mode/#mf0 [+qo Noah Noah] by ChanServ |
16:59 | < Dukayn> | LOL those colours |
16:59 | < Dukayn> | But it's looking good |
16:59 | < Mitten|Building> | what do you like what dont you like? |
16:59 | < Mitten|Building> | and yeah, the colors are just to get a rough build together :) |
16:59 | < Dukayn> | I love how the cockpit looks |
16:59 | <~Noah> | I like the colors, keep them |
17:00 | < Dukayn> | The new legs, not bad actually |
17:00 | < Dukayn> | Less bulky |
17:00 | < Mitten|Building> | i really like how that first wedge flows into the feet |
17:00 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
17:01 | < Mitten|Building> | thoughts on the jammers? |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | Is that more or less sturdy than my leg design? |
17:01 | < Mitten|Building> | about just as sturdy |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | Mine *looks* more sturdy but that could just be because it's bulkier |
17:01 | < Mitten|Building> | with a little more articulation |
17:01 | < Cedric> | That thing looks crazy. :D |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | articulation is good :) |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | The jammers, well, I dunno. |
17:01 | < Mitten|Building> | i should rephrase that |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | Not sure I like cramping the cockpit |
17:01 | < Mitten|Building> | more "usable" articulation |
17:01 | < Dukayn> | fair call |
17:02 | < Mitten|Building> | so different jammers, anything else you dont like the look of? |
17:03 | <~Noah> | Neads more color |
17:03 | < Dukayn> | Well the guns are a bit bare, but I imagine you don't have spare tiles or whatnot and it's not a biggie |
17:03 | < Mitten|Building> | ill get some greens in the next build for ya :) |
17:03 | <~Noah> | Replace all the bley with as much color as you can |
17:03 | < Mitten|Building> | yeah, i just didn't want to go digging for my like 4 1x3 tiles |
17:03 | < Dukayn> | Heh that's fine :) |
17:04 | < Dukayn> | I notice the torso just clips onto the motor in the hips, is that because of lack of parts or to make it more stable? |
17:05 | < Mitten|Building> | stability |
17:05 | < Mitten|Building> | its on a jumper though so you can still rotate the torso |
17:05 | < Dukayn> | So the travis/t-piece bit wasn't any good? |
17:05 | < Mitten|Building> | it was ok |
17:06 | < Mitten|Building> | but with the 1x2 hinge pieces it made the torso super flimsy and put more weight at the back of the frame |
17:06 | < Dukayn> | Ah ok |
17:06 | < Dukayn> | Cool |
17:06 | < Mitten|Building> | my mantra with such things is simpler is better |
17:06 | < Mitten|Building> | this setpu gives it a nice center of gravity while maintaining the rotation |
17:07 | < Mitten|Building> | and uses less travis bricks :) |
17:07 | < Dukayn> | Yeah |
17:07 | < Dukayn> | My only dislike with that is it loses almost 5p worth of height |
17:08 | < Dukayn> | and looks kinda cramped |
17:08 | < Mitten|Building> | cool |
17:08 | < Mitten|Building> | i can work with that |
17:08 | < Dukayn> | Might work to angle the motor forward more maybe? |
17:09 | < Dukayn> | Can rotate the upper torso back to remain level and brings the centre of gravity forward. |
17:09 | < Mitten|Building> | it wont go forward too far without bumping into the clips |
17:09 | < Mitten|Building> | i might just drop the t-pieces and go with tas and see how that works |
17:09 | < Mitten|Building> | *taps |
17:10 | < Dukayn> | Ah yeah I see |
17:10 | < Mitten|Building> | BACK TO BUILDING |
17:10 | < Dukayn> | Goes all the way back but fuck all forward :P |
17:11 | < Dukayn> | 8 degrees, to be exact |
17:11 | < Dukayn> | in LDD anyway |
17:17 | < Dukayn> | Hmm, what connects the bottom travis to the toes? |
17:20 | <~Noah> | Maaaaagiiiiiic |
17:21 | < Dukayn> | You're so helpful |
17:21 | <~Noah> | I know |
17:21 | <~Noah> | That'll be $22.50 |
17:21 | < Dukayn> | I AIN'T GIVEN YOU NO TREE FIDDY |
17:21 | < Dukayn> | GODDANG LOCH NESS MONSTAH |
17:22 | <~Noah> | Payments are accepted in lego bricks |
17:22 | | * Noah steals all of Dukayn's travis bricks. Both of them. |
17:23 | < Dukayn> | Noooooooooo! |
17:23 | <~Noah> | I was about to say, it's so dang overcast that I can't see my keyboard |
17:23 | <~Noah> | But now it's raining |
17:24 | < Dukayn> | Fuck I should go to bed |
17:25 | < Dukayn> | But I wanna see what Mittens comes up with next :P |
17:25 | < Cedric> | Go to bed FASTER. |
17:25 | < Cedric> | So you get up FASTER. |
17:25 | < Dukayn> | hahaha |
17:26 | < Cedric> | MY DAY IS SO EMPTY. |
17:26 | < Cedric> | THIS TAKES FOREVER. |
17:26 | < Cedric> | Good fucking god. |
17:26 | < Cedric> | Graveyard shift! |
17:26 | < Cedric> | Oh yeah, cool. COOL. Fuck this internet shit. |
17:26 | < Cedric> | Can't even browse 9gag or Failbooking. |
17:27 | < Cedric> | See, I understand why guys jack off at work. |
17:27 | < Dukayn> | haha |
17:27 | < Cedric> | Makes total sense. |
17:27 | < Cedric> | So far, I have resisted, mind you. |
17:27 | < Cedric> | But sometimes ..! |
17:27 | < Cedric> | Gnrrh. |
17:28 | < Mitten|Building> | Duke |
17:29 | < Mitten|Building> | so with the jammers the only thing you didnt like was the fact that they crowded the cockpit? |
17:29 | < Mitten|Building> | or you didnt like the jammers? |
17:30 | < Dukayn> | Yeah not a fan of the design myself |
17:30 | < Mitten|Building> | cool; |
17:30 | < Cedric> | We spent hours on those Jammers, man. |
17:30 | < Cedric> | HOURS. |
17:30 | < Dukayn> | What the yellow drums Mittens put on? |
17:30 | < Cedric> | We had a chaff module, an ECM module, Jetpacks, etc. |
17:30 | < Dukayn> | We didn't do those. |
17:31 | < Cedric> | Noperskates. |
17:31 | < Dukayn> | I reckon Ced's little triple barrel ECM suite would still fit on the back without tipping it. |
17:32 | < Cedric> | http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/4347715_460s.jpg |
17:32 | < Cedric> | YOU SON OF A BROCCOLI! |
17:34 | < Dukayn> | I must sleep |
17:34 | < Dukayn> | I look forward to seeing more, Mittens. And thanks for doing it, it really helps get an idea of how valid it all is. |

19:52 | < MittenNinja_> | heya |
19:52 | < Soren> | hey |
19:52 | < MittenNinja_> | threw together a sand green fat sanke. |
19:52 | < Soren> | oooh |
19:52 | < Ceddo> | Sup, baby-babies. |
19:52 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, I just saw that. Spiffy. |
19:52 | < MittenNinja_> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7315731506/ |
19:53 | < MittenNinja_> | Not ideal |
19:53 | < MittenNinja_> | but with the sand green i have at the moment it works |
19:53 | < Ceddo> | Today's goal: Posting my current weapon models. I have reached 4 ranged and a buttload of melee weapons. It is time again. :D |

19:54 | < Ceddo> | NINJA DOWN. |
19:54 | < Soren> | That does look nice |
19:54 | < MittenNinja_> | i need some more 1x2 tiles |
19:54 | < MittenNinja_> | nah im here |
19:54 | < MittenNinja_> | and some sand green healights |
19:54 | < MittenNinja_> | and those teeth things |
19:54 | < Soren> | I think on a sand green version, we'd have to cut the headlight brick count a bit. |
19:54 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah maybe |
19:55 | < MittenNinja_> | but some more tiles for sure |
19:55 | < MittenNinja_> | and the teeth |
19:55 | < Soren> | oh, yes |
19:55 | < Soren> | hang on. |
19:55 | | * MittenNinja_ hangs on for dear life |
19:57 | < MittenNinja_> | i'd want headlights for the shoulders at least |
19:57 | < MittenNinja_> | sand green ones i mean |
19:57 | < MittenNinja_> | everything else im okay with black |
19:57 | < Ceddo> | Sandgreen Headlight bricks? |
19:57 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah |
19:57 | < Soren> | yeah, I'm just trying to think of alternate options |
19:57 | < MittenNinja_> | they're like $3 a pop |
19:58 | < Ceddo> | How about some glitter-trans-purple 1x2 bar plates, too? :D |
19:58 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm thinking dark puprle should be the command color for the pit vipers |
19:59 | < Soren> | Yeah, it looks like the only part that's available in sand green *is* the headlight |
19:59 | < Soren> | I was hoping for a technic brick |
19:59 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah. |
19:59 | < Soren> | oh, right! |
19:59 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm cool with black for the arms and legs. But I want to get Sand Green for the shoulders |
19:59 | < Soren> | I would do the arms in a dark grey |
20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah? |
20:00 | < Soren> | gives it more definition while still letting you save some headlight bricks |
20:00 | < Soren> | dark grey and sand green is deadly. |
20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | hrmm |
20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | i'll need to get some dbley headlights then |
20:01 | < Soren> | those are noticeably cheaper. |
20:01 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah |
20:01 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/302272642/ But, I demonstrate. |
20:02 | < MittenNinja_> | that is pretty damn slick |
20:02 | < Soren> | ty. I should find some pics of the back skirt, which got really crazy |
20:03 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah cheapest price for a sand green headlight on BL is $1.85 |
20:03 | < MittenNinja_> | I'd like to see it! |
20:04 | | MittenNinja_ is now known as MittenNinja |
20:06 | < MittenNinja> | Gah! I really dont want to spend almost $20 on ten pieces |
20:06 | < Soren> | ouch |
20:06 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
20:06 | < MittenNinja> | cheapest price with any decent quantity (10) is $1.85 each |
20:07 | < MittenNinja> | that would be enough for 5 fat snakes too |
20:08 | < MittenNinja> | Eventually, I'd like to have 5 fat snakes of a few different camo shcemes |
20:09 | < Soren> | Oh, silly me. you could mix in some regular green for just the shoulders and the chest. |
20:09 | < Soren> | that might do it. |
20:11 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, but it wont look that good when their with iguanas and heavy chubs |
20:11 | < MittenNinja> | *they're |
20:12 | < Soren> | perhaps, yeah |
20:21 | < MittenNinja> | idk |
20:21 | < MittenNinja> | I'm not going to go buying them now |
20:21 | < Soren> | that's an excellent idea. |
20:21 | < MittenNinja> | dont have much of a choice |
20:21 | < Ceddo> | See, my approach is the complete opposite. |
20:22 | < MittenNinja> | we're closing on our new house on tuesday |
20:24 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
20:24 | < MittenNinja> | i'd sped the money if i had the disposable income at the moment |
20:24 | < MittenNinja> | but i wont for a month or two |
20:25 | < Soren> | ah, yeah. That's sensible |
20:25 | < Soren> | They'll probably still be there when you do have the money |
20:25 | < MittenNinja> | probably |
20:25 | | * Soren glares at Ced |
20:26 | < Soren> | at least, they better be :) |
20:26 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
20:26 | < Ceddo> | Who are you looking at? |
20:26 | < Ceddo> | And why? |
20:26 | < MittenNinja> | why not? |
20:26 | | * Ceddo opens Bricklink in the background. |
20:28 | < MittenNinja> | jesus the 1x1 tiles are pretty bad too |
20:29 | < Soren> | see, I got mine when they were in sets. |
20:29 | < Soren> | So I don't know what this shit costs. |
20:31 | < MittenNinja> | it's still cheaper to get these on bricklink |
20:31 | < Soren> | well, yeah |
20:31 | < MittenNinja> | pay $60 for a set that has 2 1x2 tiles and some slopes |
20:31 | < MittenNinja> | or pay $2 a piece |
20:32 | < Soren> | I've familiar with this arrangement, yeah |
20:32 | < Soren> | I'm* |
20:32 | < Soren> | trying to remember which one. |
20:33 | < Soren> | there was other cool stuff, though, like tan bricks and dark orange plates. |
20:33 | < Soren> | I'm usually happy to buy sets if they actually have a lot of neat parts in them |
20:33 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, but you also build other stuff besides MFZ |
20:34 | < Soren> | it's true. |
20:35 | < Soren> | You'd be surprised what you can dump excess parts into, though. |
20:35 | < Soren> | terrain is forgiving |
20:35 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
20:36 | < MittenNinja> | I |
20:36 | < MittenNinja> | *I'd totally give up a bunch of the random legos i have in my bins for useful MFZ stuff |
20:37 | < Soren> | That might be a trade we can rock, if I have enough leftovers and you have enough cool random stuff |
20:38 | < MittenNinja> | You're welcome to take a look man |
20:38 | < Ceddo> | Yo, Mittens. |
20:38 | < MittenNinja> | yo Ceddo |
20:38 | < Ceddo> | Want me to take an inventory of my shit? |
20:39 | < Ceddo> | And you take a look, maybe find something to trade around? :D |
20:39 | < MittenNinja> | sure if ya want |
20:39 | < Ceddo> | Because, I have ONLY MFZ capable parts. |
20:39 | < Ceddo> | Sure. Gonna take a fucking while, though. :D |
20:39 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
20:39 | < MittenNinja> | mine still aren't even organized completely yet |
20:40 | < MittenNinja> | After Comic con i'm going to tear down all the guys i have for my companies now |
20:40 | < MittenNinja> | thats my biggest issue right now is all my parts are soaked into those |
20:43 | < MittenNinja> | Oh man |
20:43 | < MittenNinja> | i think im out of t-pieces |
20:43 | < MittenNinja> | i didnt think this day would come |
20:44 | < Soren> | heh |
20:45 | < Soren> | I really much be the only person who doesn't just form a puddle over that piece. |
20:46 | < Soren> | must* |
20:46 | < MittenNinja> | I've started using it more for knees and such |
20:46 | < MittenNinja> | like with the heavy chubs |
20:46 | < MittenNinja> | and elbows on iguanas |
20:49 | < MittenNinja> | TIME FOR TACO BELL |
20:49 | | MittenNinja is now known as Mitten|Tacos |
20:51 | < Ceddo> | I HAVE 100 T PIECES. |
20:51 | < Ceddo> | THEY ARE WINSAWCE. |
20:52 | < Soren> | Oh, they're fine. I'm just not a member of the TS FOR EVERY JOINT club |
20:53 | < Soren> | I probably should get some more, though |
21:13 | < Mitten|Tacos> | I think a lot of that stemmed from ldd not allowing tap connections |
21:13 | | Mitten|Tacos is now known as MittenNinja |
21:13 | < Soren> | welllm even before there was an LDD. |
21:13 | < MittenNinja> | oh |
21:13 | < Soren> | back in 2004. |
21:13 | | * MittenNinja shuts his mouth |
21:14 | < Soren> | otherpeople were just FREAKING that suddely they were widely available, and I just wasn't on that boat. |
21:14 | < Soren> | they come in two colors, that are both gray. They're useful, sure, but they have limitations. |
21:14 | < MittenNinja> | agreed |
21:16 | < Soren> | the problem I've had with them is usually that they're too wide through one axis of rotation that I need, or that they're just the right size but can't hold enough weight. |
21:16 | < Soren> | So, not terrible, just overhyped. |
21:18 | < Soren> | I'd rather everybody has a pretty broad range of joint tricks to use as needed than going straight for the Ts and clips every time |
21:18 | < MittenNinja> | absolutely |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | One day. |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | I will find a retardedly awesome connection. |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | Bitches will flock to me. |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | Bros will revere me as their overlord. |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | And I will just play it off cool. |
21:25 | < Soren> | hah |
21:25 | < Ceddo> | And name it after my father. |
21:26 | < Soren> | you're about ten years too late for that, I'm afraid. |
21:26 | < Ceddo> | NO. |
21:26 | < Soren> | All the low-hanging fruit has been picked |
21:27 | < Ceddo> | I will find high hanging fruit. |
21:27 | < Soren> | I can show you some places to look. |
21:28 | < Soren> | technic/system integration is a big one. I've more or less made my reputation on it. |
21:28 | < Soren> | Very few people do it well. |
21:28 | < Ceddo> | That fruit is tainted by your manjuice. |
21:28 | < Soren> | That's a smoothie, with yogurt. |
21:28 | < Soren> | You're fantasizing again. |
21:29 | < Ceddo> | Of your man juice? |
21:29 | < Ceddo> | Let's chat in the living room. |
21:32 | < Ceddo> | I am way too excited about my purple and pink firing exxects. |
21:32 | < Soren> | something about those colors just taps into the aesthetic really precisely |
21:35 | < Ceddo> | Indeed. |
21:35 | < Ceddo> | They are quite sexy. |
21:39 | < Soren> | I think... Hmm! |
21:39 | < Ceddo> | The wait for parts is the worst. |
21:40 | < Soren> | I *do* have a purple pin joiner |
21:40 | < Soren> | ...and a bunch of teal. |
21:40 | < Soren> | time to make a shield generator. |
21:48 | < Ceddo> | I am awaiting for my purple swirly dishes. |
21:51 | < Soren> | oho? |
21:51 | < Soren> | I don't think we talked about those. |
21:51 | < Soren> | I'm curious what you have in mind. |
21:51 | < Ceddo> | Let me show you. |
21:52 | < Ceddo> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3960px2.jpg?0 |
21:54 | < Soren> | ooooh. |
21:54 | < Soren> | yes. |
21:54 | < Soren> | those are going to be neat. |
21:54 | < Ceddo> | Yipp. :) |
21:55 | < Ceddo> | Other than that, standard stuff. |
21:55 | < Soren> | I think I might have one, actually. |
21:55 | < Soren> | Somewhere |
21:55 | < Ceddo> | Snow flakes, cones, 1x1 round plates, etc. |
21:57 | < Soren> | 1x1 round plates ar emy nemesis. |
21:57 | < Soren> | are my* |
21:57 | < Soren> | I can never, ever have enough, because they're so useful that I just burn through them no matter what. |
21:59 | < Ceddo> | I know. It's bad. |
21:59 | < Ceddo> | They are everything. |
21:59 | < Ceddo> | Covers. Joints. They leave room for articulation. |
21:59 | < Soren> | and they make nice tiny details. |
22:00 | < Soren> | with a round tile on top, I can think of some crazy uses. |
22:00 | < Ceddo> | So greebly. |
22:00 | < Soren> | like a carapace studded with electrode for double HtH zapping |
22:00 | < Soren> | +s |
22:02 | < Ceddo> | I dare you. |
22:02 | < Ceddo> | Do it. |
22:03 | < Soren> | I'll have to get lotion for my finger. That shit will destroy them. |
22:03 | < Soren> | fingers* |
22:03 | < Soren> | CANNOT PLURALIZE |
22:04 | < Ceddo> | Really? Kchchchch. |
22:04 | < Ceddo> | YOU HAVE SOFT HANDS. |
22:04 | < Soren> | And someone who is deeply invested in them staying that way. |
22:05 | < Ceddo> | Okay then. |
22:05 | < Ceddo> | You massage me. |
22:05 | | * Soren pulls out a rubber-tipped jackhammer. |
22:05 | < Soren> | Okay. |
22:06 | < Ceddo> | When you and I are together, there*s a ground rule. |
22:06 | < Ceddo> | No tools. |
22:06 | < Soren> | How are we going to build a trebuchet without tools? |
22:06 | < Ceddo> | With determination and gu, |
22:06 | < Ceddo> | *gum. |
22:07 | < Ceddo> | I love my roomie. He just turned "Fall before the righteous" into "Hole inside the right chest." |
22:18 | < MittenNinja> | Soren, what kind of "interesting" legos would you be looking for? |
22:18 | < Soren> | let's see. |
22:18 | < Soren> | it depends. |
22:18 | < MittenNinja> | i do have some pretty old stuff |
22:18 | < MittenNinja> | not a ton of it |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | but i do have some m-tron/blacktron stuff |
22:19 | < Soren> | hmm! |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | some old school space stuff |
22:19 | < Soren> | arrow tiles. |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | like 1x2s? |
22:19 | < Soren> | yeah |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | white with yellow arrows |
22:19 | < Soren> | rocket fins. |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | i have a pretty good amount of those |
22:19 | < Soren> | transparent 6x6 plates ;) |
22:19 | < MittenNinja> | i might have one or two |
22:20 | < MittenNinja> | ill have to do some digging |
22:20 | < Soren> | sure. And it might have to wait until I get settled in KL. |
22:20 | < MittenNinja> | thats all good man |
22:21 | < Ceddo> | Love those rocket fins. |
22:21 | < Soren> | Oh! so, I went to town on those legs from last night some more. |
22:21 | < Soren> | I should be good, and take a picture. |
22:21 | < MittenNinja> | you do mean these right? |
22:21 | < MittenNinja> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4591 |
22:22 | < Ceddo> | Nah! |
22:22 | < Ceddo> | The little ones. |
22:22 | < MittenNinja> | the 1x1 |
22:22 | < MittenNinja> | cool |
22:22 | < MittenNinja> | ive got a bunch of those too |
22:22 | < Soren> | those too, actually, depending on condition |
22:23 | < MittenNinja> | any specific modified bricks or anything i should keep an eye of for? |
22:23 | < Soren> | if you see something and think 'I'm not sure how you use this', shoot me a pic and we can see. |
22:23 | < Soren> | I like challenges. |
22:24 | < MittenNinja> | :) |
22:24 | < MittenNinja> | speaking of challenges |
22:24 | < MittenNinja> | I've got a couple ideas to work off of for that siren neptune |
22:24 | < Soren> | ohoho |
22:24 | < Soren> | yay. |
22:25 | < MittenNinja> | I think i may have the foot figured out |
22:26 | < MittenNinja> | i just have to figure out a good heel connection for it |
22:27 | < MittenNinja> | how about a 6x8 trans yellow plate? |
22:27 | < Soren> | that works. |
22:28 | < MittenNinja> | here's the bin im digging through right now https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6vrg26cltwbxj7/DSC_0593.JPG |
22:28 | < Soren> | I've been hoping someone will have the trans-light-blue 8x8 plates for cheap. I should check back up on that. |
22:30 | < MittenNinja> | do you want any m-tron or b-tron branded stuff? |
22:32 | < Soren> | Well, I was thinking of doing some ridiculously camp Manly Men with the M-tron torso. |
22:32 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
22:32 | < Soren> | so, those printed tiles and torsos would be hilarious. |
22:33 | < MittenNinja> | do you want those m-tron 1x2 tile control panels? |
22:33 | < Soren> | Oh man, I'm loaded up on those. |
22:34 | < Soren> | also, you should keep them, they're so good at 7p scale. |
22:34 | < Ceddo> | I always wonder what to use them for. |
22:34 | < Soren> | build a command post, and set those up on bar plates as control surfaces. |
22:34 | < Soren> | bar plate+clip+2x2 dish as a stand. |
22:34 | < Soren> | I'll demonstrate. |
22:37 | < Ceddo> | Please do. |
22:42 | < MittenNinja> | Oh hey! A Travis brick! |
22:45 | < Soren> | oh, and hey, I'll take those 4x4 tan plates off your hands ;) |
22:46 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/6hty0in4wwgbfc3/Control.JPG |
22:46 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/os5lxc6dwd3w1bo/Kestrel%20Legs%20v2.JPG |
22:47 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/55oeie7a2jtqlys/Manly%20Bolter.JPG |
22:47 | < Ceddo> | So cute. |
22:47 | < MittenNinja> | consider them yours |
22:48 | < Soren> | well, I'll be up-front, they're great for basing terrain doodads. If you reconsider, I'll understand |
22:48 | < MittenNinja> | nah its all good |
22:48 | < Soren> | fair enough! |
22:49 | < Soren> | those technic liftarms could be great fun. |
22:49 | < MittenNinja> | ? |
22:49 | < Soren> | the bent ones, with the round ends. |
22:49 | < Soren> | I can put those to work, no problem. |
22:50 | < MittenNinja> | ah those guys |
22:50 | < MittenNinja> | sure |
22:50 | < MittenNinja> | do you want non bent ones too |
22:50 | < Soren> | sure, I'll take them all. |
22:50 | < Soren> | again, those can come in handy at MFZ scales. |
22:51 | < Soren> | if you wanna hang on to them, I understand. |
22:51 | < MittenNinja> | im pretty much only interested in frame parts |
22:52 | < Soren> | ah, but stations, terrain - also good to have stuff for. |
22:52 | < MittenNinja> | true |
22:55 | < Soren> | oh, something I discovered - one of the best ways to clean old lego? cheap vinegar. |
22:55 | < Soren> | just seal it up in a ziplock bag, and it'll take the grime right off. |
22:55 | < MittenNinja> | really? |
22:55 | < MittenNinja> | i'll have to try that out |
22:55 | < Soren> | yeah. Just get the cheap stuff they sell for cleaning. |
22:56 | < MittenNinja> | ive got a couple more shots of stuff in that bin |
22:56 | < MittenNinja> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/y3aarqsg67t6x8a/DSC_0594.JPG |
22:56 | < MittenNinja> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/84gxd4hwz8ualh3/DSC_0595.JPG |
23:00 | < Soren> | ooh, scaffold bricks. |
23:00 | < Soren> | If you're really, truly sure you don't want those, I'll take them off your hands. |
23:00 | < MittenNinja> | the red pillar things? |
23:00 | < Soren> | yeah |
23:00 | < MittenNinja> | you got it |
23:01 | < Soren> | also, that cypress tree is worth a nontrivial chunk of change on Bricklink. |
23:01 | < MittenNinja> | hrmmmm |
23:01 | < Soren> | if you have a chance, some of this stuff would be worth listing and starting a shop for, to pay for frame parts. Or just trading for more frame bits. |
23:01 | < MittenNinja> | for sure |
23:01 | < Soren> | something to consider. |

23:10 | < Dukayn> | Soren: those are sweet |
23:10 | < Soren> | ty |
23:10 | < Dukayn> | I will use them but not on Kestrel |
23:10 | < Soren> | I kept messing around |
23:10 | < Soren> | Yeah, they're better for something else. |
23:10 | < Dukayn> | Cos I'm thinking of binning it |
23:10 | < Soren> | oh? |
23:11 | < Dukayn> | Oh, Mittens. |
23:11 | < Dukayn> | That is NICE. |
23:11 | < MittenNinja> | ty |
23:12 | < MittenNinja> | more along the lines of what you were thinking? |
23:12 | < Soren> | You know, what you don't want and I don't want, you can always send to Joshua or Vincent. |
23:12 | < Dukayn> | Yeah exactly |
23:12 | < Dukayn> | has the same kind of stance |
23:12 | < Dukayn> | but that looks much more solid |
23:12 | < Dukayn> | so what's behind the 1x3 plate? |
23:13 | < MittenNinja> | two tap s and a travis |
23:13 | < MittenNinja> | just messing with an idea really |
23:13 | < MittenNinja> | not sure if id keep it |
23:13 | < Dukayn> | Ah yeah |
23:14 | < Dukayn> | And what connects the upper torso to that centre travis? |
23:15 | < MittenNinja> | standard travis w/ clips and a tipiece |
23:16 | < Dukayn> | If it's OK can you remove the 1x3 so I can see the connection? |
23:16 | < Dukayn> | Pretty please? Cherry etc |
23:17 | < Ceddo> | DUKEY. |

23:30 | < Dukayn> | He's got a 7 on one of my arty though :( |
23:34 | < Ceddo> | That's gonna hurt. |
23:34 | < Ceddo> | 4 rolls. |
23:35 | < Ceddo> | Let's see how many are confirmed. Too bad schoon didn't roll those in one swoop. Schoon is so slow! |
23:35 | < Ceddo> | Greg! |
23:35 | < Ceddo> | I would like some of that palm tree goodness! |
23:35 | < Ceddo> | Oh, and TIRES. |
23:36 | < MittenNinja> | like any and all tires? |
23:36 | < Ceddo> | Random tires. I find a use for them. :D |
23:36 | < Ceddo> | Those round ones are especially cool. |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | But, yeah. Palmtrees and trunks is all I really see. Tires are goodies. |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | Anything you are looking for? |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | Lemme check my excess stuff, |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | Trans darkblue 1x1 round plates and bricks. |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | Trans darkblue slopes. |
23:37 | < Ceddo> | Trans orange slopes and cones. |
23:38 | < Dukayn> | If anyone is giving away 1x1 plates in black I'll take them |
23:38 | < Dukayn> | cos bricklink has fuck all in Aus. |
23:38 | < Ceddo> | 2x Trans black 2x2 slopes. |
23:38 | < Ceddo> | Dukey: Lemme check something. |
23:39 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
23:39 | < Ceddo> | I can get you dozens upon dozens. |
23:39 | < Dukayn> | heh |
23:39 | < Ceddo> | 6500, to be exact. :D |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Okay, here's the deal. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | I have three bubble mailers. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Soren gets one. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Greg gets one. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Dukey gets one. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Soren is already done - he gets an assload of dark green. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Greg can state his wants. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | Dukey too. |
23:40 | < Soren> | Oh, um. |
23:40 | < Ceddo> | $15 is your limit. |
23:41 | < Soren> | If you see an opportunity, I have just noticed: 2l and 3l axles disappear fast around here. |
23:41 | < Ceddo> | Understood. I can throw some in. 10 of each or so. |
23:41 | < Soren> | I'm grabbing some, but those are much-loved when they show up. |
23:41 | < Soren> | make it 20? |
23:41 | < Soren> | I'm not kidding. |
23:41 | < Ceddo> | Don't have 20? |
23:41 | < Ceddo> | Neither am I. |
23:41 | < Soren> | 'kay |
23:42 | < Ceddo> | Actually. |
23:42 | < Ceddo> | I'm gonna hit a local store tomorrow. |
23:42 | < Ceddo> | I grab you some. |
23:42 | < MittenNinja> | ill keep an eye out |
23:42 | < Soren> | yay, thanks. |
23:43 | < Ceddo> | So, Greg. What do you need? |
23:43 | < MittenNinja> | umm |
23:43 | < Ceddo> | Let's make this easier. |
23:43 | < Ceddo> | Can you set your bricklink to show you German retailers only? |
23:43 | < MittenNinja> | im sure |
23:44 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, you can. |
23:44 | < Ceddo> | Do that. |
23:44 | < Ceddo> | Look around. |
23:44 | < Ceddo> | You have US$15 - or 12EUR. |
23:44 | < MittenNinja> | OH |
23:44 | < MittenNinja> | I KNOW |
23:44 | < Dukayn> | I'm going to hold off until Greg finishes fixing the Osprey |
23:44 | < Dukayn> | Then I wanna see if I can get one of those :) |
23:44 | < MittenNinja> | theres a german retailer that has proverbial ass loads of sand green tiles for around14 cents each |
23:44 | < MittenNinja> | let me find him |
23:45 | < MittenNinja> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=dewertz&itemID=32018176 |
23:45 | < Dukayn> | MittenNinja: can I get a detail of the torso join behind the 1x3 plate please? :D |
23:46 | < Ceddo> | Buy 500 or more for US $0.12 each |
23:46 | < Ceddo> | (~EUR 0.10) |
23:46 | < Dukayn> | Oreos and coffee for breakfast? WHY YES I THINK SO |
23:46 | < Ceddo> | Anyone in on this? |
23:46 | < Soren> | I think I'm good. |
23:46 | < Ceddo> | :D |
23:47 | < Soren> | I've already gone berserk on the sand green. |
23:47 | < Ceddo> | Mittens: 100 tiles is $14. |
23:47 | < Ceddo> | IZZAT your choice? |
23:47 | < Dukayn> | I'm not fussed on sand green |
23:47 | < Dukayn> | I mean it's sexy |
23:47 | < Ceddo> | Dukey: You can SHOP. |
23:47 | < MittenNinja> | yessir |
23:47 | < Dukayn> | but it's Mittens' signature colour :P |
23:47 | < Ceddo> | And the wife will NEVER KNOW. |
23:47 | < Ceddo> | Well then. *shrug* If that's all you need. :D |
23:48 | < Ceddo> | I am looking for trans purple, trans blue, trans light blue, trans yellow for firing effects. |
23:48 | < MittenNinja> | its a combination of a need and that they are way more expensive over here |
23:48 | < Ceddo> | My main colors are dark blue, medium lavender, tan and black. |
23:48 | < Ceddo> | I dabble in dark grey. |
23:48 | < MittenNinja> | This help Duke? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ds03uk6pimvgm9w/DSC_0598.JPG |
23:49 | < Ceddo> | Dukayn: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=dewertz&itemID=32018176 |
23:49 | < Ceddo> | Take a look at that store. |
23:49 | < Ceddo> | Maybe you see something. |
23:49 | < Dukayn> | Welp, I need some travis (I have 5 in the mail but that's it), T-pieces, taps, clips, 1x1 plates (black preferred), 1x1 tiles in black, 1x3 in orange, some of the magazine bricks for that flechette cannon, OH the head slope for the Osprey. Trans red cheese wedge. Um. HEADLIGHTS. |
23:50 | < Dukayn> | Yeah, I'm seriously lacking down here :P |
23:50 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
23:51 | < Ceddo> | I send you a ccare package. |
23:51 | < Dukayn> | I WUB YOU CEDDYBEAR |
23:51 | < Ceddo> | PM me your address. :D |
23:51 | < Dukayn> | kk |
23:51 | < Dukayn> | Ooh! Harpoons |
23:52 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, no prob. |
23:52 | < Dukayn> | Like, 1 or 2 nothing crazy |
23:52 | < Dukayn> | black or grey, whatevs |
23:52 | < Dukayn> | Mitten - yeah, that's cool ta |
23:52 | < Dukayn> | So, that's MORE stable than just the T-piece slotted into the motor? |
23:52 | < MittenNinja> | yessir |
23:53 | < MittenNinja> | it has more to do with balance |
23:53 | < Ceddo> | Dukey: Lemme check what I can get ready to go RIGHT NOW. |
23:53 | < Dukayn> | It's also a whole travis higher haha |
23:53 | < MittenNinja> | you said you waned it taller :) |
23:53 | < MittenNinja> | *wanted |
23:54 | < Dukayn> | Heh, true |
23:54 | < Ceddo> | SO! |
23:54 | < Dukayn> | I didn't think you'd make it taller than I designed it. It's not a problem I'm just surprised. |
23:55 | < MittenNinja> | It should be pretty easy to knock down a brick if you want |
23:55 | < Ceddo> | Dukey: 8 Harpoons, black. |
23:56 | < Ceddo> | 20 T pieces. |
23:57 | < Dukayn> | Phwoar |
23:57 | < Dukayn> | That's a lot o' T |
23:57 | < Dukayn> | but i'll take 'em :P |
23:57 | < Ceddo> | 20 black Taps. |
23:57 | < Dukayn> | If you don't need em |
23:58 | < Dukayn> | Mitten: If we put the T-piece straight into the Travis on the motor it'd upset the whole thing I'm guessing. |
23:58 | | * Dukayn sighs. LDD servers still down |
23:58 | < MittenNinja> | the torso wont sit in the same position no |
23:58 | < Ceddo> | 10 Travis, black. |
23:58 | < Dukayn> | Ooh |
23:58 | < MittenNinja> | it might work |
23:59 | < Dukayn> | I'll fix up LDD in a sec. |
23:59 | < Dukayn> | brb. |
