I am doing more review work, now onto Mega Blok Halo Sets 97130, 97131 and 97132. They are one of those three sets that can be built to make this thing set.
15:04
< Shades_Corvid>
The first link is just a 4chan logo
15:05
< Shades_Corvid>
Looks nice, like the green gator looking sniper high legs
15:05
< Shades_Corvid>
Looks like a sniper anyways
15:05
< Shades_Corvid>
They are all great
15:05
< Shades_Corvid>
I need to make some demo specific frames instead of pulling from my armies
15:06

Try loading the first one again.

I see the litle version then I click it and get the logo again, wierd
15:07

That's odd.
15:08
< Ced23Ric>
Even if you click it in-thread instead of in a new tab?
15:08

Heya, soren.
15:46
< Shades_Corvid>
So what is everyone else up to?
15:46
< Ced23Ric>
Team Orange assembly, and cutting felt.
15:46
< Shades_Corvid>
What is the felt for?
15:46
< Soren>
Makinā spaceships.
15:46
< Ced23Ric>
Playing field.
15:47
< Ced23Ric>
I have five circles, 60" wide, now.
15:47
< Ced23Ric>
The left overs will be cut into terrain pieces.
15:47
< Ced23Ric>
So I can have grass fields in the desert, concrete patches in the woods, islands in the water, etc.
15:48

15:49

Starting with āmaybe those engine glows should be smaller because wow.ā
15:59
< Shades_Corvid>
moving on to third box, some interesting parts, sets could make some cover if going for an interior spacespace or base feel but can't make anything MF0ish out of them yet. See out third box goes...maybe if I use all three together...
16:02
< Ced23Ric>
One last frame and I got all ten ready to go.
16:02
< Ced23Ric>
The hiLeg poses oddly.
16:02
< Soren>
IT does.
16:04
< Ced23Ric>
Not necessarily bad.
16:04
< Ced23Ric>
But oddly.
16:09
< Shades_Corvid>
Alright, time to step out for now. Have to go get ready to help my partner run a comencement

16:25
< Soren>
Yeah. that actually looks pretty good.
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
Gives it a bit of a splash.
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
Happy accident.
16:26
< Ced23Ric>
You saw the other four teams, eh? Linked them 20 minutes before you appeared.
16:27
< Soren>
Yeah
16:27
< Soren>
They are nice.
16:28
< Ced23Ric>
Should be good enough for demo games, at the very least.
16:28
< Ced23Ric>
I'll bring some other frames, too, just for that "And that's possible, too." - effect.
16:37
< Ced23Ric>
Alright ... time to cut some more felt.
16:40
< Soren>
Aaaaaand I just got smoked by a Hound. Iād say thatās balanced just right then.
16:50
< Ced23Ric>
That sounds horrible.
16:50
< Ced23Ric>
Why.
16:50
< Soren>
fast scout ship.
16:51
< Soren>
I want it to be capable of shitting all over a Hound, but only if the pilot is paying attention.
16:59
< Ced23Ric>
What's your chassis?
17:00
< Soren>
Custom.
17:00
< Soren>
My working name is āSamoyedā
17:13
< Ced23Ric>
No, I mean ... what's your base ship?
17:13
< Ced23Ric>
Or are you building one from scratch?
17:13
< Soren>
Let me take a screenshot for you.
17:13
< Soren>
Yes.
17:13
< Ced23Ric>
Nice.
17:13
< Ced23Ric>
Do show.

It's pretty, for starters! :D
17:21
< Soren>
ty
17:21
< Ced23Ric>
Ballistic medium, small rocket, small universal?
17:21
< Soren>
small ballistic, but yes
17:21
< Ced23Ric>
Fair enough.
17:22
< Ced23Ric>
Any intended for PD?
17:22
< Ced23Ric>
What are the arcs?
17:22
< Soren>
the ballistic is a 360Āŗ turret, and the rest are hardpoints.
17:22
< Soren>
0Āŗ for the missile, 5Āŗ for the universal.
17:24
< Ced23Ric>
Gotcha.
17:25
< Soren>
itās got a shield, which means itās more or less immune to the Houndās weapons, but hitting backā¦ less easy.
17:25
< Soren>
Which is about where i wanted it.
17:25
< Ced23Ric>
What kind of shield?
17:25
< Soren>
Omni, 90Āŗ arc.
17:25
< Ced23Ric>
why not a fixed 120 ?
17:26
< Soren>
Because making the player goaltend is funny.
17:26
< Ced23Ric>
True, but Omni shields feel more befitting for mid size ships.
17:26
< Ced23Ric>
And fixed fronts for smaller ships and fighters.
17:26
< Ced23Ric>
But that's just me.
17:26
< Soren>
Theyāre pretty handy on small ships that need to protect their engines.
17:49
< Ced23Ric>
I'll be bac later - cinema time!

It's like magic.
22:58

It is.
22:58
< Soren>
That reminds me, i need to go camera shopping at some point.
22:58
< Ced23Ric>
I really like my pentax K30, but that's more of an outdoor DSLR.
23:00
< Ced23Ric>
... and I seem to have lint on my lense, sensor or filter.
23:00
< Ced23Ric>
Guess I need to inspect and clean that.
23:00
< Soren>
Yeah, Iām just looking for something general-use.
23:00
< Ced23Ric>
Just go Canon.
23:00
< Ced23Ric>
Or Nikon, if you have small hands.
23:00
< Soren>
I do not.
23:00
< Soren>
Iām trying to keep it under $500.
23:01
< Soren>
Thatās my primary limitation.
23:02
< Ced23Ric>
In that case, look for a package camera.
23:02
< Ced23Ric>
With a short and long range lense bundle.
23:02
< Ced23Ric>
Those run you about $500, in case of a D1100, or so.

23:05

Seems like the Rebel T3 is no longer a running item, though. Maybe used.

Yeah, Soren, that 1100D will work nicely for all purposes.
23:10
< Ced23Ric>
It may not kick the ball out of the park for video, but ...
23:11
< Ced23Ric>
And you can use the Magic Lantern.
23:11
< Ced23Ric>
That's custom firmware for Canon cameras.
23:11
< Ced23Ric>
You like to tinker. ;)
23:11

23:12
< Ced23Ric>
Obviously needs more cover, but it's a proof of concept.
23:12
< Soren>
Iām mostly concerned with getting print-quality macro shots and having more control over the basic mechanics of the camera.
23:12
< Ced23Ric>
Circle is cut to 60".
23:12
< Soren>
mmm.
23:12
< Soren>
Okay, Iām grabbing that sucker.
23:12
< Ced23Ric>
Well, in that case, a 1100D with Magic Lantern is your thing, for below $500.
23:13
< Ced23Ric>
I mean, I shelled out about $900 for my entire gear, and I barely know how to take a single picture. :D
23:13
< Soren>
hah.
23:13
< Ced23Ric>
... I should try that super macro 10x magnification kit.
23:13

23:36

Tomorrow, I gotta file for Friday off, buy dress pants and a vest, get a haircut after work.

Wednesday, I'm out with my mom for dinner.
23:37

Friday, I'm at a wedding - as the backup (read, inofficially primary) photographer.
23:38

Sounds like quite a ride.
23:38

Tomorrow is probably the worst.
23:39

23:47
< Soren>

23:49
< Soren>
Honestly, as long as I have a good basic kit together, iām happy to use that until I hit the point of needing more.
23:49
< Soren>
This waiting until the stars are perfectly aligned shit grates on me.
23:49
< Ced23Ric>
Gonna take a while to you ... outplay any given camera.
23:49
< Soren>
Yeah.
23:49
< Soren>
Well, and I can already Photoshop out minor issues.
23:50
< Ced23Ric>
I mean, as long as you can adjust aperture, exposure, ISO and manually zoom/focus, you really just need a high quality sensor that does high megapixels.
23:50
< Ced23Ric>
The rest is ... comfort.
23:50
< Soren>
Yup.
23:50
< Soren>
Well.
23:50
< Ced23Ric>
My K30 does 16MP.
23:50
< Soren>
the āprint qualityā part is especially important to me, letās say, in light of potential future things.
23:50
< Ced23Ric>
... I have yet to find an application where that didn't suffice.
23:51
< Ced23Ric>
The lense makes the picture.
23:51
< Ced23Ric>
The body is just saving it.
23:51
< Soren>
Yeah. And I will probably not need a really fancy macro lense.
23:51
< Ced23Ric>
You saw my pictures, eh?
23:51
< Ced23Ric>
That's not a macro lense.
23:51
< Ced23Ric>
That's the stock lense.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
I have a tele macro.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
I also have magnification kits.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
But ... what for?
23:52
< Soren>
I did, and I figured, based on our āholy shit, those lenses cost more than my first carā conversation.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
I'm not taking shots of jewels.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
My dad has one of those lenses.
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
They are called "holiday lenses".
23:52
< Ced23Ric>
Wanna know why?
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
Because they go from 15mm to 500mm.
23:53
< Soren>
Daaaaamn.
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
And provide good light throughout.
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
So, when you go on holiday, just gotta pack one lense.
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
Pricetag?
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
2 grand.
23:53
< Soren>
You could take a very nice holiday for that, yes.
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
That, too. Ha.
23:53
< Ced23Ric>
Soren, how do I into nice 7p trees?
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
I have all kinds of Lego foliage.
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Not much in the way of trunks, though.
23:54
< Soren>
I have been working hard on that very question.
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Just stack some 1x1 rounds?
23:54
< Soren>
I like half arches
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Because, that seems poopy.
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
23:54
< Soren>
But I have a better answer.
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Brown and dark brown, dark tan.
23:54
< Ced23Ric>
Those seem to make for decent bark.
23:55
< Soren>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32016 These, in brown.
23:55
< Ced23Ric>
And then, use the smaller foliage bits, some 1x1 round plates ...
23:55
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, you smart man.
23:55
< Soren>
*bows*
23:55

They look really nice, and you can make them branch appealingly.
23:55

< Ced23Ric>
90, 45 and 15, if I recall correctly.
23:56
< Ced23Ric>
No, wait.
23:56
< Soren>

23:56
< Ced23Ric>
90, 135, 117.5.
23:56
< Ced23Ric>
Balls.
23:56
< Soren>
ITās actually okay.
23:56
< Ced23Ric>
Maybe in tan/dark tan/dark brown?
23:56
< Ced23Ric>
Or that burnt orange?
23:57
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
23:57
< Ced23Ric>
Those would make for good trees that DON'T use the foliage lego has, though.
23:57
< Ced23Ric>
Or do you want to put regular foliage on that?
23:57
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
23:57
< Ced23Ric>
How to axle hole into studĆ
23:57
< Ced23Ric>

23:57
< Soren>

23:57
< Ced23Ric>
I am stupid.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
Axlehole into bar, into foliage stud /w hole.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
Just use green hose.
23:58
< Soren>
ITās not going to make anyoneās asshole suppurate with awesomeness or anything, but itās fine.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
Well, the technics also makes for good cover.
23:58
< Soren>
or technic axle pin into 1x1 round brick, if youāre lazy
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
Because you really can take it apart.
23:58
< Soren>
Yup.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
That IS lazy.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
I prefer 2L axle.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
That makes for a nice burnt-off branch.
23:58
< Ced23Ric>
When you take it off.
23:59
< Ced23Ric>
In black, of course.
23:59
< Soren>
Of course.
23:59
< Ced23Ric>

Mhmm.
23:59
< Soren>
Anyway.
23:59
< Soren>
Iām experimenting with good options.
23:59
< Ced23Ric>
I think I'm gonna fire up LDD tomorrow and try that for a bit.
23:59
< Ced23Ric>
