Blargh....I missed all the action today.
02:00
<@randolph>
hoooly crap backscroll
02:05
< neoaez>
Yeah, took a while to read it all.
03:05
< afny>
I think I missed a ton earlier as well
03:05
< afny>
but I'm too lazy to find out
03:05
< afny>
oh wow, that was an hour ago
03:05
< afny>
what just happened.
03:30
<@randolph>
I had dinner

Hey Mantis

< Mantisking>
Hey.
04:35
< Mantisking>
Figured I'd drop in for a minute or two.
04:36
<@randolph>
Do you think that the "frame height" thread should go back in General with the other one?
04:36
<@randolph>
Or, I dunno, some sort of stickied Frame Forge FAQ
04:36
<@randolph>
"What's the Standard Scale," "How tall are standard frames," etc
04:37
< Mantisking>
I was thinking about it.
04:38
< Mantisking>
It is more a discussion thread, where the forge is more for "Look at what I built!"
04:38
<@randolph>
yeah
04:39
<@randolph>
If two threads ask the exact same question, which one gets locked and which one gets precedence, if one is old?
04:39
<@randolph>
I'm assuming you lock the new one after tossing a link at the old one?
04:43
< Mantisking>
I don't really have hard and fast rules but, yeah, the younger one gets locked.
04:44
<@randolph>
yeah, hm, then I'd suggest you do it sooner rather than later before it picks up too much steam
04:44
<@randolph>
Kinda let the new guys get a clearer idea of what the subforums do
04:47
< Mantisking>
True. Although orangeKnight has been a member for a while.
04:48
<@randolph>
Yeah. Though that doesn't change anything if the thread belongs elsewhere, which I think we've implied now that it does?
04:49
< Mantisking>
It's moved.
05:06
< Mantisking>
Okay, time for bed.

Hey Ced
06:22
<@randolph>
How'd it go?
06:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Splenderific. :D
06:24
<@Ced23Ric>
We met up, hugged, and strolled through the city for almost 5 hours.
06:24
<@Ced23Ric>
And let me quote my favourite parts.
06:25
<@Ced23Ric>
She went: "I'm hungry." - "Same. What do you feel like." - "Steak."
06:26
<@Ced23Ric>
And after we are a ballin' rump steak with herb butter, I said: "I am so happy you are not a vegetarian." - "Can't do without meat."
06:26
<@Ced23Ric>
I relayed that back to base, and was ordered to marry her on the spot.

< huhwhozat>
Comments & criticism welcome!
16:40
< FreefallGeek>
Hate to derail, but does anyone know how to use LDD im having some issues.
16:40
< huhwhozat>
sure, let's go to sidechannel tho
16:43
<+MittenNinja>
I like that torso on the first one more than the second. But I like the pelvis on the second more.
16:43
<+MittenNinja>
you cant derail when there isn't a conversation going :p
16:45
< FreefallGeek>
Mitten I hate to be a pain but can you re-link that frame design you linked me yesterday?
16:45
< FreefallGeek>
it had the travis block in the middle?
16:45
<+MittenNinja>
the MgN?
16:45
< FreefallGeek>
Yes
16:46
<+MittenNinja>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/5693490016/in/set-72157626508973904
16:46
< FreefallGeek>
thank you
16:46
<+MittenNinja>
np
16:47
< FreefallGeek>
huhwhozat: I prefer the first one. The only thing I'd change on that one is replace the pelvis "grate" with a long colored piece like you had on the second one.
16:47
< FreefallGeek>
The second one is nice too, I don't care for the large flat spot on the inside of the arms however.
16:48
< FreefallGeek>
It seems overly bulky compared to the size of the hands i guess.
16:49
< huhwhozat>
thanks for the input! What is it about the torsos/pelvis that you like or don't, mitten?
16:49
< huhwhozat>
FreefallGeek: I agree, that flat spot is annoying
16:50
< huhwhozat>
I might just stick the orange grille there instead
17:00
<+MittenNinja>
the grill
17:00
<+MittenNinja>
it looks better with the 1x3 tile
17:03
< huhwhozat>
I think so too :)
17:08
< FreefallGeek>
I hate LDD so much.
17:08
<+MittenNinja>
Yep, thats why i dont use it
17:08
< FreefallGeek>
Plan B. Buy a crapton of random pieces.
17:09
<+MittenNinja>
My advice for you sir, is to find a frame design that you really like. Buy enough parts to build 5-8 of them and do so. Then just start buying random parts to custoomize them to your liking.
17:09
<+MittenNinja>
Use that as a springboard to the larger world of lego mecha building
17:10
<+MittenNinja>
Chubs are always nice to start with, as they are very customizable and not very parts intensive.
17:10
< FreefallGeek>
sounds like a good idea.
17:11
< huhwhozat>
but they're so... generic :P
17:11
<+MittenNinja>
not after you mod them :)
17:11
< FreefallGeek>
I think I'm going to find three or four variations I like, try to get a complete parts list
17:12
< FreefallGeek>
and then buy enough parts to build 5 or 6 of each
17:12
<+MittenNinja>
i mean, check these guys out
17:12
<+MittenNinja>
http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/58255/posts/188012/image-98130-full.jpg?133 1406029
17:12
< huhwhozat>
yeah that's pretty sweet
17:12
<+MittenNinja>
those are just chubs
17:12
<+MittenNinja>
except the little dude and the guy in the back obviously
17:13
< huhwhozat>
what are those white bits on the shoulder?
17:13
< FreefallGeek>
I drooled a little.
17:13
<+MittenNinja>
and here's chub instructions if you need them
17:13
<+MittenNinja>
http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/58255/posts/186849/image-97646-full.jpg?133 1228075
17:13
< huhwhozat>
that does not include those pieces
17:14
< huhwhozat>
oh right, basic chub
17:14
< huhwhozat>
nm
17:14
<+MittenNinja>
heres another mod http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/58255/posts/195088/image-102177-full.jpg?13 32777273
17:14
< FreefallGeek>
Is there a "chubs" part list with the bricklink parts numbers that needed floating out there somewhere?
17:15
<+MittenNinja>
not that i know of
17:15
< huhwhozat>
see, here's the thing: I love the little tachikoma crawler, and the guy in back, but the chubs just don't do it for me. I guess I'm just predjudiced. :P
17:15
<+MittenNinja>
whats your mecha influence of choice?
17:15
< huhwhozat>
good question
17:16
< huhwhozat>
I'd have to go with armored core
17:16
< huhwhozat>
though mechwarrior is a close second
17:17
< huhwhozat>
there are a lot of other influences that look 'cooler' to me, but those seem the most down-to-earth, which is something a really like to see in designs
17:17
<+MittenNinja>
ok, yeah, i can see that then.
17:18
<+MittenNinja>
Mine is definitely more rooted in Heavy Gear
17:18
<+MittenNinja>
which the chub totally fits right into
17:18
< huhwhozat>
now the chubs look very practical, but there's something I just don't... like about them
17:18
<+MittenNinja>
they're fat?
17:18
< FreefallGeek>
I love those red ones
17:18
<+MittenNinja>
and also, you liked the fat snakes right?
17:18
< FreefallGeek>
they're incredibly sexy
17:18
< FreefallGeek>
i want to build them in black and orange
17:19
< huhwhozat>
I do like the fat snakes
17:19
<+MittenNinja>
they're just reskinned chubs
17:19
< huhwhozat>
y'know, I think it may be the chub legs I don't like
17:19
<+MittenNinja>
i can see that
17:19
<+MittenNinja>
but that's super easy to fix
17:20
< huhwhozat>
yeah
17:20
< FreefallGeek>
I need to start hitting garage sales and seeing if I can find legos
17:21
<+MittenNinja>
I'm telling you man, Bricklink.com
17:21
<+MittenNinja>
best way to buy lego ever
17:21
< FreefallGeek>
i just mean for things like tiles, terrain blocks, etc.
17:21
<+MittenNinja>
still, bricklink
17:21
<+MittenNinja>
you can find huge lots of simple bricks for super cheap
17:22
< FreefallGeek>
are those sets on there somewhere?
17:22
<+MittenNinja>
give me a piece
17:22
<+MittenNinja>
that you'd use a ton of
17:22
< FreefallGeek>
just like tan 2x6x2s or something for terrain
17:23
<+MittenNinja>
bricks or plates?
17:23
< FreefallGeek>
bricks
17:23
<+MittenNinja>
color?
17:23
< FreefallGeek>
tan/brown
17:24
<+MittenNinja>
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jashiner&itemID=24207403
17:24
<+MittenNinja>
whopps sorry thats a 2x8
17:24
< huhwhozat>
okay mitten, here's a thing: your bullfrog is my absolute favoritest frame I've seen. I've looked around a bunch, but I keep coming back to it. That's the kind of thing I like - nonstandard builds that look very practical. (tht's not to say I wouldn't change the feet :D)
17:25
<+MittenNinja>
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=ToyBurg&itemID=22463943
17:25
<+MittenNinja>
dont think youd need more that 2,500
17:25
< FreefallGeek>
True. Is 18cents a piece good though?
17:25
< FreefallGeek>
I figured regular blocks like that would be a couple cents a piece
17:26
<+MittenNinja>
for tan? yes
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
well, in that quantity anyways
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
thats the thing with bricklink
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
you have to do some digging
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
find the quantity you want at a price you can work with
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
there are places that have them for 2 cents
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
but then they have like 3 of them
17:27
<+MittenNinja>
huh: then go for one of those!
17:28
< FreefallGeek>
link me that bullfrog huh
17:28
< huhwhozat>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7424291330/in/photostream
17:28
<+MittenNinja>
this place has 61 of them for 12 cents
17:28
<+MittenNinja>
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=relhak&itemID=29470230
17:29
< huhwhozat>
heh, problem with the bullfrog as a starting build is that it seems like it would not be very extensible
17:30
< huhwhozat>
I really want to come up with my own build as well
17:30
<+MittenNinja>
start with building established stuff
17:30
<+MittenNinja>
it exposes you to a lot of techniques
17:31
<+MittenNinja>
plus, i think a lot of people dont realise how much you can do with the same frame
17:31
<+MittenNinja>
for example
17:31
<+MittenNinja>
the mini-frame
17:31
< huhwhozat>
I think I've been absorbing a lot via flickr and the forums
17:31
< huhwhozat>
I like the mini frame quite a bit
17:31
<+MittenNinja>
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3012601
17:31
<+MittenNinja>
the iguana is based off of that
17:32
<+MittenNinja>
as is the grand naga http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/6900604286/
17:32
<+MittenNinja>
they all have the same core
17:32
< huhwhozat>
I can't quite figure how that torso works
17:33
<+MittenNinja>
theres an ldraw file somewhere
17:33
<+MittenNinja>
let me find it
17:33
< FreefallGeek>
Holyshit I love that Naga.
17:33
<+MittenNinja>
http://thor.divnull.com/pub/mechaton/squieu-mini-frame.ldr
17:33
<+MittenNinja>
there's the ldraw for the miniframe
17:34
<+MittenNinja>
thanks freefall
17:34
<+MittenNinja>
that thing is REALLY parts intensive
17:34
< huhwhozat>
and foforgot I don't have LDraw installed on this machine :P
17:35
<+MittenNinja>
back when i didnt have a ton of travis bricks i pulled my tewo nagas apart and build like 8 frames with the travis' from them
17:35
<+MittenNinja>
I should put one of those together again
17:35
<+MittenNinja>
and dye it green
17:36
< FreefallGeek>
do you have a parts list for it?
17:36
<+MittenNinja>
no but i have a detailed breakdown on my blog
17:36
< FreefallGeek>
kk

<+MittenNinja>
There are so many cool lego mechs on flickr that I see and I'm like OMG I HAVE TO BUILD ONE, then i click on the thumbnail and realize that it's like 2 feet tall
17:41
< huhwhozat>
haha
17:41
< huhwhozat>
guh, LDraw install takes long
17:42
<+MittenNinja>
can't you open ldraw files in LDD?
17:42
<+MittenNinja>
or is it the other way around?
17:43
< huhwhozat>
I think the latter
17:43
< huhwhozat>
I haven't tried
17:43
< huhwhozat>
yeah, must be the latter
17:44
<+MittenNinja>
i guess that makes sense
17:48
< huhwhozat>

< FreefallGeek>
Anyone recommend aby good mecha shows?
22:50
< FreefallGeek>
*any
22:50
< FreefallGeek>
All I've seen is Gundam Wing when I was younger.
22:50
<+MittenNinja>
votoms, if you can find it
22:51
< Ramcat>
There is a thread on the forum that talks about this
22:51
<+MittenNinja>
if you like Neon Genesis Evangelion, check out Rahxephon
22:51
<+MittenNinja>
its pretty much better in every way
22:51
< Ramcat>
I like anime just couldn't tell you any titles off the top of my head
22:51
<+MittenNinja>
Full Metal Panic is pretty good
22:51
< FreefallGeek>
I have no idea what either Neon Genesis Evangelion or Rahxephon are... soo....
22:51
<+MittenNinja>
go watch both
22:52
<+MittenNinja>
but watch NGE first
22:52
< Ramcat>
Hey MittenNinja how is it going?
22:52
<+MittenNinja>
sup ramcat
22:52
<+MittenNinja>

22:52
<+MittenNinja>

22:54
< Ramcat>
Any Castle Story fans here?
22:54
< FreefallGeek>
Whats the gundum storyline that is more "realistic"?
22:55
< FreefallGeek>
There arent any actual gundams, it's just mobile suits
22:55
< FreefallGeek>
and it centers on like a specific company of mobile suits
22:56
< Ramcat>
Don't know
22:56
< FreefallGeek>
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team
22:56
< FreefallGeek>
I watch that one, it was pretty good if I recall.

23:03
< Malcolm>
Hey hey we're the Monkees was their signiature phrase
23:03
< Ramcat>
Oh yeah, I got the reference - just why are we them?
23:03
< Malcolm>
I have no idea
23:03
< Ramcat>
lol
23:03
< Ramcat>
ok
23:04
< Malcolm>
It's just, something
23:04
< Malcolm>
Just an aside.
23:04
< Malcolm>
I'll talk about more intellectual matters, if you would prefer
23:04
< Ramcat>
Once I had long hair - my sister has called me a monkee ever sence
23:05
< Ramcat>
I wish I had more time to read the new rule draft
23:06
< Malcolm>
I've found it a pleasant distraction in between reading such delightful articles as 'The Opinions of Mankind: Racial Issues, Press, And Propaganda in the Cold War'
23:06
< Malcolm>
Dry does not even begin to cover it
23:07
< Ramcat>
For school?
23:07
< Malcolm>
Yep. Sadly, these days they expect you to work for a doctorate.
23:08
< Ramcat>
Good for you. I went the software route back when you could show your experience - no paper needed
23:09
< Ramcat>
It turned out well for me.
23:10
< Ramcat>
What is your doctorate in? Politics?
23:10
<+MittenNinja>
oh hey malcom!
23:10
<+MittenNinja>
and theres another L in there somewhere
23:10
<+MittenNinja>
Malcolm. There we go
23:11
< Malcolm>
That's spot on.
23:11
< Malcolm>
Actually, I'm doing my PhD in history
23:11
<+MittenNinja>
yeah, im having issues with my keyboard today
23:11
< Ramcat>
Anybody play lately?
23:11
< Malcolm>
By the 1970s, so it overlaps a lot with polsci
23:11
< Malcolm>
Not had a chance to play for a while now
23:11
<+MittenNinja>
not recently, but I'll be playing this weekend
23:11
< Malcolm>
Bonus
23:12
< Ramcat>
History is tough work
23:12
< Ramcat>
I might get in a board game this weekend but no time for MFZ
23:12
< Malcolm>
Well, ploughing through documents is a fair old slog.
23:12
< Malcolm>
I need to try and rustle up a bigger MFZ community over here in th eUK
23:13
< Malcolm>
We're sadly quite tiny
23:14
< Ramcat>
Feel for you. I am also in small MFZ community. Once the rules are out I'm going to try running a demo at the local game store

23:32

I'm acutally meeting up with five guys who saw me out at the comiccon
23:33
< Malcolm>
I'm hoping that you'll be playing the game with them and not getting dismembered for illegal organ transplants in Guatemala
23:34
< Malcolm>
That happens, you know. I heard it from and friend whose aunt saw it on a new programme where the journalist had met someone whose doctor heard about it on the radio
23:34
<+MittenNinja>
hahaha
23:34
< Malcolm>
Man, there are so many misspellings there it totally ruins any amusing impact it might have had
23:34
<+MittenNinja>
some of them already have companies built
23:34
<+MittenNinja>
its all good
23:35
<+MittenNinja>
and one of them already is converting half of his basement into an mfz arena
23:35
<+MittenNinja>
I think they're more interested in my lego than my organs
