| 07:08 | | * CalaveraJoe putters about |
| 07:11 | <@randolph> | Hey CJ |
| 07:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hola! |
| 07:14 | < CalaveraJoe> | Finally got around to doing some more build work |
| 07:14 | < CalaveraJoe> | Realised I had like 6-7 /different/ frames all built, which made for crap company cohesion |
| 07:15 | < CalaveraJoe> | So I scalped a few, built several Iguana cores and I'm working on modding / speccing those out |
| 07:17 | <@randolph> | cool |
| 07:17 | <@randolph> | I ran two games over the weekend |
| 07:17 | <@randolph> | one 3p, one 2p |
| 07:17 | < CalaveraJoe> | Coo, new folks to the game? |
| 07:19 | <@randolph> | yep |
| 07:19 | < CalaveraJoe> | Nice |
| 07:19 | < CalaveraJoe> | Where at? |
| 07:19 | <@randolph> | My house |
| 07:19 | <@randolph> | It's my yearly 4th party |
| 07:19 | <@randolph> | Mcmartin played 1 game, +3 others |
| 07:19 | < CalaveraJoe> | Ahh, nice |
| 07:19 | <@randolph> | Then we went to LEGO store PAB hehehe |
| 07:21 | < CalaveraJoe> | Costa Mesa or Disney? |
| 07:24 | <@randolph> | CM |
| 07:24 | < CalaveraJoe> | Oooh, anything particularly snazzy in stock? |
| 07:25 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
| 07:25 | <@randolph> | L/R wings |
| 07:25 | <@randolph> | Otherwise, hadn't changed much |
| 07:25 | < CalaveraJoe> | Admittedly, I need more bits right now like a hole in the head |
| 07:25 | <@randolph> | They're almost out of d bley tileclips |
| 07:25 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 07:25 | < CalaveraJoe> | I may /actually/ end up with a surplus of travis bricks *gasp!* |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | heheh |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | Chibis are actually really, really good |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | (speaking of travis bricks) |
| 07:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | Mew? |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | Mr Chibs? |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | That base frame |
| 07:28 | <@randolph> | They're small enough that they fit into all sorts of cover |
| 07:29 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'm having a derp moment |
| 07:29 | < CalaveraJoe> | *to the forums* |
| 07:29 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/6986981184/in/set-72157629975865053/ |
| 07:30 | < CalaveraJoe> | The little mini frame dude? |
| 07:30 | <@randolph> | yeah |
| 07:30 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 07:30 | <@randolph> | "Mr. Chibs" |
| 07:30 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7134730721/in/set-72157629975865053/ |
| 07:30 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'd probably have to spec like, two of them to a "frame" |
| 07:30 | <@randolph> | It's a hardsuit, think Iron Man |
| 07:31 | <@randolph> | Iron Man packs a lot of heat |
| 07:31 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7231575786/in/set-72157629565121542/ |
| 07:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | Iron Man would probably own face against most frames in MF0, hehe |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Sadly, I have like... /4/ of those foot bits |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Well, maybe 8, but 4 are in use |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Also, tiny though they are, cover rules is cover rules, hehe, less than 3 bricks and yer fooked |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Though they are /narrower/ |
| 07:32 | <@randolph> | You can use lots of kinds of feet |
| 07:32 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7213570236/in/set-72157629565121542/ |
| 07:33 | <@randolph> | yeah, it wasn't about brick height |
| 07:33 | <@randolph> | for cover |
| 07:33 | < CalaveraJoe> | *snicker* brickstreet boys |
| 07:33 | <@randolph> | It was that it's super easy to get into cover and stay there |
| 07:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 07:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | So it's just a travis with a couple 1x1 rounds and then whatever for the arms |
| 07:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | A jumper for the waist |
| 07:34 | <@randolph> | Cheeseslope chest for chubbiness |
| 07:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | and more 1x1 bits for legs |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | T-bar + tileclips for the canonical chub pack |
| 07:35 | < CalaveraJoe> | So they're... 8p? 9p? |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | 8p |
| 07:35 | < CalaveraJoe> | Nice |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | could be 9p if you give the waist another round |
| 07:35 | < CalaveraJoe> | My stuff hovers around a nice 6-7p |
| 07:35 | <@randolph> | Your stuff? |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | Scalewise? |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | Well, Yeah |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | Ah ok |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | blerf |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | My frames are mostly copies at this point |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | So yeah, if you're at 6p, 8p is 8 feet tall |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | So their;e arguably 7p scale |
| 07:36 | < CalaveraJoe> | my buildings tend to "work" better if you're looking at them in 6p |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | At 7p, they're about 7feet |
| 07:36 | <@randolph> | nod |
| 07:37 | <@randolph> | 7-8 feet is respectable hardsuit/power armor/landmate size |
| 07:37 | < CalaveraJoe> | 7p makes the 9p "floors" seem... short |
| 07:37 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 07:37 | <@randolph> | It's THE FUTURE, everything is Tokyo compact <_< |
| 07:37 | < CalaveraJoe> | Also, the 6p doors at 7p scale is silly |
| 07:37 | < CalaveraJoe> | Eff that! I'm not ducking to get through the door |
| 07:37 | < CalaveraJoe> | PLUS 6p makes imagining real world scale easy 1p = 1' |
| 07:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | I've got an asston of 1x2 bricks now |
| 07:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | 450+ in med blue |
| 07:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | 400ish in dark bley of the "log" bricks |
| 07:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | and another couple hundred of those rad red bricks that make great cargo containers |
| 07:40 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 07:42 | < CalaveraJoe> | I blame Ced |
| 07:42 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'm planning on building a bunch of pseudo Fallujah style buildings for cover/terrain |
| 07:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | I need to double check the rules for elevation to make sure I build to work for that too |
| 07:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | Cause destructible, climbable buildings = win |
| 07:45 | < CalaveraJoe> | My hope, though, is to have a hutching company ready for play very soon |
| 07:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | Though it def won't be tomorrow. Little Mr turns one, and we're schlepping to the Aquarium of the Pacific and other fun things with him |
| 07:54 | <@randolph> | cool, grats |
| 07:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | Thanks |
| 07:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'd like to know where the hell the last year went |
| 08:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | Now though, to shower and sleep I go, tomorrow. . . FISHES! |

| 13:38 | <+afny> | I feel as if I've been extremely productive. |
| 13:41 | <+afny> | I wonder if I can make a frame with a big ass tribal mask |
| 13:41 | <+afny> | and have it not look stupid. |
| 13:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | The latter makes it hard. |
| 13:53 | <+afny> | the scramblers in this company are kinda like that |
| 13:53 | <+afny> | big tribal masks |
| 13:53 | <+afny> | but I want it on a biped |

| 14:40 | <+afny> | this company is like |
| 14:40 | <+afny> | primarily yellow, with black, white, and light grey accents |
| 14:40 | <+afny> | with a hint of trans-green |
| 14:40 | <+afny> | can I get away with red? |
| 14:41 | <+afny> | originally I was going to try to use a lot of light blue and go for a Navajo feel |
| 14:41 | <+afny> | but I don't really have the right light blue, so it ended up being a lot more African |
| 14:50 | | DeathZero [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-5d46be7b.iplsin.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 14:56 | < Noah> | Very little red |
| 15:21 | < DeathZero> | Ahhh, I wants my shippment! o_o these walls won't build themselves damnit. |
| 15:54 | < Noah> | Which walls? |
| 15:59 | < DeathZero> | I'm bricking up the modular walls Grasshopper did |
| 15:59 | < DeathZero> | ran out of the required bricks and had to put in an order. |
| 16:00 | < Noah> | Ah |
| 16:01 | < DeathZero> | They're kinda thick, especially at the base being 4 studs wide, but they'll be good walls for doing like a military base or something. |
| 16:49 | <+afny> | Well, "very little red" turned into an entirely red frame |
| 16:49 | <+afny> | it just wouldn't be one of my companies without one APPARENTLY |

| 19:15 | <+afny> | bad lighting so no flikr but I added some new frames to this |
| 19:16 | < DeathZero> | Thats a punchin fist there. |
| 19:16 | <+afny> | I think I'll probably dice it as a shield, but yeah |
| 19:16 | <+afny> | punchin fist. |
| 19:16 | < DeathZero> | Make him green, hulk smash. |
| 19:16 | <+afny> | it's a lady |
| 19:16 | < DeathZero> | She-Hulk? :D |
| 19:16 | <+afny> | but based on a much cooler comic book character than the hulk |
| 19:17 | < DeathZero> | Who dat be? |
| 19:18 | <+afny> | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a2/Hellboy_Strange_Places.jpg/2 50px-Hellboy_Strange_Places.jpg |
| 19:23 | < DeathZero> | I don't know if I'd say he's cooler than the Hulk, but yea, Hellboy's pretty cool. |
| 19:24 | <+afny> | Hellboy is only a MILLION times cooler than the Hulk |
| 19:24 | <+afny> | but that's because I'm measuring by the quality of comics containing Hellboy vs the quality of comics containing The Hulk |
| 19:25 | <+afny> | I mean, I've got no shame arguing that one comic book character is cooler than another |
| 19:25 | < DeathZero> | I prefer Grey Hulk. |
| 19:25 | <+afny> | I could give a shit about Marvel to be honest |
| 19:25 | <+afny> | I like Hellboy because Mike Mignola is one of my favorite artists in any medium |
| 19:26 | < DeathZero> | Marvel's superheroes are the ones I prefer. |
| 19:26 | <+afny> | and the vast majority of those comics are completely creator owned and produced |
| 19:26 | <+afny> | I wouldn't consider Hellboy a superhero, really, although the books have elements of that genre |
| 19:26 | <+afny> | have you ever read the comics, or are you just going by the movies? |
| 19:26 | <+afny> | I'm sort of a die-hard fan when it comes to this |
| 19:27 | <+afny> | The difference between a Hellboy comic and any random Marvel comic, to me, is monumental |
| 19:28 | < DeathZero> | I've read the story's from the comics, so I know a good bit of the comic history. But no, I've never actually read them in comic form. |
| 19:28 | <+afny> | with Hellboy (and any creator owned and produced work), it's something that's been painstakingly crafted by someone who genuinely cares about their art |
| 19:28 | <+afny> | with Marvel or DC, you've got, usually, a writer and two artists all working on the same project, one of many |
| 19:28 | <+afny> | just churning it out month to month |
| 19:28 | < DeathZero> | Ah, its less about the art for me and more about the story. |
| 19:28 | <+afny> | Well, I like both elements |
| 19:29 | <+afny> | but I don't like "story", I like STORYTELLING |
| 19:29 | <+afny> | and it's done superbly in Hellboy. The way the story is conveyed through art. |
| 19:30 | <+afny> | I mean, I like a lot of other comics |
| 19:30 | <+afny> | but I feel this way about all the ones that I like; they're all using the medium to tell the story in a brilliant way |
| 19:30 | <+afny> | and I can't say the same for the vast majority of big label comics that I've read |
| 19:30 | <+afny> | there are obvious exceptions like Frank Miller's stuff |
| 19:31 | < DeathZero> | I suppose thats true. |
| 19:31 | <+afny> | Anyway, you should really check out Hellboy. Anything drawn by Mignola. |
| 19:32 | <+afny> | I'd start with the trade "The Right Hand of Doom" |
| 19:32 | < DeathZero> | But they just don't have the stuff that grabs my attention. I like tech, powered armor, space ships, superweapons, items that grant superpowers. |
| 19:32 | <+afny> | Hellboy has all of that, surprisingly. |
| 19:32 | <+afny> | although not pervasively, I admit. |
| 19:32 | < DeathZero> | Iron Man is the epitomy of what I want in a superhero. |
| 19:33 | < DeathZero> | Hellboy's got the attitude and whatnot, but tis all to mystical and stuff for me. |
| 19:33 | <+afny> | :| |
| 19:34 | <+afny> | Why does that matter? I mean, I think that's sort of... |
| 19:34 | <+afny> | ...irrelevant. A good story is a good story, good art is good art. I mean, I get what you're saying, but... |
| 19:34 | <+afny> | I don't know, I guess it's just because I don't select media in that way. |
| 19:34 | <+afny> | I like shows about giant robots if the story is good, but I don't indiscriminately watch everything with giant robots. |
| 19:36 | < DeathZero> | It's just my tastes, I'm not a fan of stuff that uses magic as an explanation. |
| 19:37 | <+afny> | I'd buy that if you were the TRUEST of blue hard sci-fi fans, but in reality "magic" and the kind of tech iron man uses aren't any different when it comes to the story. |
| 19:38 | < DeathZero> | To me there is, reading about somebody using this or that magic to do something, isn't as interesting to me as reading about somebody doing the same thing with tech. |
| 19:39 | <+afny> | I just think there's very, VERY little difference between those things, for all practical purposes, in 90% of the stories you'd find it in. |
| 19:39 | <+afny> | It's such a cosmetic difference. |
| 19:40 | <+afny> | There are obvious exceptions on both ends of the spectrum; Alien and Harry Potter don't have much in common |
| 19:40 | <+afny> | but pretty much ANYTHING you'd find in a Marvel comic is somewhere in the middle. |
| 19:40 | < DeathZero> | Maybe I can't get as into stuff that uses magic cause it ruins the believability for me. |
| 19:40 | < DeathZero> | Stuff thats tech based I can at least believe might be possible someday. |
| 19:41 | <+afny> | I guess I don't think I'll be able to change your mind, and you're definitely not the only person I've spoken to that feels similarly (one way or the other) |
| 19:41 | < Noah> | Any sufficiently advanced form of technology will appear as magic to unadvanced. |
| 19:41 | <+afny> | ^ |
| 19:41 | <+afny> | But I just don't see why it matters, I guess because it doesn't matter to me. |
| 19:41 | < DeathZero> | Yes Noah, that is true. |
| 19:42 | <+afny> | What makes a story believable or not to me is the motivation and interaction of characters. |
| 19:42 | <+MittenNinja> | Good stuff Afny |
| 19:44 | < DeathZero> | I suppose to me that whenever I'm reading something and I come to a point where the explanation is magic, its a turn-off for me. I mean, I cut my roleplaying teeth on Mobile Suit Gundam. They went so in depth to explain how the tech in the series was possible as to do it on a molecular basis. |
| 19:46 | <+afny> | I appreciate Gundam too, but it's believable and interesting because of the characters, not because minovsky particles make sense. |
| 19:46 | <+afny> | I mean, that's PART of the quality world building, and it's a cool part, but it isn't integral. What's important in a setting is that a story moving through it doesn't violate the rules of the setting. |
| 19:47 | <+afny> | So as out there or as grounded as your setting is, you're fine as long as you don't break your own rules. |
| 19:47 | < Noah> | I appreciate tech and magic, but for different reasons |
| 19:47 | <+afny> | Gundam sets a lot of hard and fast rules, and then doesn't break them; that's fine. Even some high fantasy settings do this; everything in a story makes sense in the CONTEXT of the setting. |
| 19:52 | < DeathZero> | Eh, I got nothin, I guess I like my settings to be ones I could believe can happen in the future. |
| 19:52 | <+afny> | Too each their own, obviously. I'm just trying to open your eyes to a wonderful world of possibilities, but alas. |
| 19:52 | <+afny> | to* each? |
| 19:53 | <+afny> | ...and also, the Marvel Universe could toootally happen in the future. |
| 19:53 | <+afny> | ;) |
| 19:53 | < DeathZero> | Peoples genes could totally mutate and cause all kinds of weird shit. |
| 19:53 | < DeathZero> | Some guy could create a suit of powered armor similar to Iron Man. |
| 19:54 | < DeathZero> | Who knows what could happen with the proper dosage and type of radiaton? O_o |
| 19:54 | <+afny> | that's...not how evolution works |
| 19:54 | <+afny> | OR how radiation works |
| 19:54 | <+afny> | I'll give you Iron Man. |
| 19:54 | < DeathZero> | I didn't say it was likely. |
| 19:55 | < DeathZero> | Iron Man also happens to be the only one I really care about. |
| 19:55 | <+afny> | It's a shared setting, though |
| 19:55 | < DeathZero> | The rest could go jump off a cliff, they're all there just to make Tony look better. |
| 19:55 | < DeathZero> | >_> |
| 19:58 | < DeathZero> | meh, before I say anything else dumb. New subject. :D |
| 19:58 | < DeathZero> | Aww when did Ced leave. |
| 19:59 | <+afny> | probably playing more Firefall |
| 20:00 | < DeathZero> | meh |
| 20:00 | < DeathZero> | I remembered that he'd said he couldn't get the clips on his axe blades to go in the back of a headlight brick like I did. |
| 20:01 | < DeathZero> | apparently theres multiple clip sizes for those. |
| 20:01 | < DeathZero> | I found a few more the other day and when I went to use em they wouldn't fit. Compared em to my old ones and these are twice as thick. |
| 20:07 | <+afny> | he did eventually get his in |
| 20:07 | <+afny> | though probably can't ever get them out again |
| 20:09 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
| 20:10 | < DeathZero> | I guess I should try harder to get my new ones in then. |
| 20:11 | <+afny> | better shot: |
| 20:11 | <+afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7516157554/in/photostream |
| 20:11 | <+afny> | still not ENTIRELY sure why those slammers are floating |
| 20:11 | <+afny> | but they're high templar, damnit. |
| 20:12 | < DeathZero> | the scramblers remind me of the doods from The Matrix. |
| 20:12 | < DeathZero> | the squid-like things |
| 20:13 | <+afny> | I have a vague recollection of all the tech from The Matrix except the Nebuchadnezzar |
| 20:15 | < DeathZero> | https://tailgrab.org/2011/03/matrix-sentinel-by-hot-toys/ |
| 20:15 | < DeathZero> | those things |
| 20:16 | < DeathZero> | Its those big yellow fins, they remind me of the sentinels arms. |
| 20:16 | < DeathZero> | I like it. |
| 20:18 | <+afny> | I... |
| 20:18 | <+afny> | SORT of see the resemblance? |
| 20:22 | <+afny> | oh wow |
| 20:22 | < DeathZero> | Maybe its just me |
| 20:22 | <+afny> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1747 |
| 20:22 | <+afny> | this is NUTS |
| 20:22 | <+afny> | is that ALL minecraft lego? |
| 20:22 | < DeathZero> | no, look down, he says where he bought it all |
| 20:22 | < DeathZero> | I already commented in there twice :P |
| 20:23 | <+afny> | wow |
| 20:23 | < DeathZero> | yea |
| 20:23 | < DeathZero> | Its so awesome. |
| 20:24 | <+afny> | If I had 200 dollars to spend on terrain, I would spend it...differently |
| 20:24 | < DeathZero> | makes me want to run right out and drop 100 bucks on minecraft legos though XD |
| 20:24 | <+afny> | it does look cool, though |
| 20:25 | < DeathZero> | what kind of terrain would you want? |
| 20:25 | < DeathZero> | I myself would prefer a more city oriented landscape, buildings and such. |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | Same, or maybe a shuttle dock |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | But I mean, I'd try to spend my money on varied bits |
| 20:26 | < DeathZero> | shuttle dock/spaceport would be pretty cool. |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | I don't think terrain needs to cover everything to look good |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | in fact I think it's a little impractical to do the whole ground up in tiles |
| 20:26 | <+afny> | I'd just cut that aspect out entirely, or build on sideways 2x bricks |
| 20:27 | <+afny> | wow, MittenNinja |
| 20:27 | <+afny> | just saw this http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7516028590/in/pool-706149@N24/ |
| 20:27 | < DeathZero> | awesome pic. |
| 20:27 | <+afny> | It's so good. The head. THE HEAD. I love the way it's got a chin guard now. |
| 20:29 | <+MittenNinja> | thanks guys |
| 20:29 | <+MittenNinja> | I |
| 20:29 | <+MittenNinja> | 'm still messing with that design |
| 20:29 | <+MittenNinja> | still not happy with it |
| 20:29 | < DeathZero> | I think the head makes that one. |
| 20:39 | < DeathZero> | this is pretty neat http://www.flickr.com/photos/63127047@N04/7515374842/in/pool-706149@N24/ |
| 20:51 | <+afny> | hrgm |
| 20:51 | <+afny> | I'm not happy with the grenade launchers on these floating slammers |
| 20:52 | <+afny> | well, the grenade launchers themselves are okay, but they just don't fit |
