nice curved wall. I don't have enough 1x1 round bricks for that. It's something I don't have enough of in my collection period at the moment.
02:12
< addking>
So, I was playing with the High Heel in the brick, and folded the legs up, suddenly I was thinking "Logan" Veritech.... https://flic.kr/p/nA6gu3

Link?
02:47
< addking>
Ahh, I don't have a screen shot this second. I just put it together in LDD, I just put them sandwiched in between the 2x3 and 2x2 plates.
02:49
< addking>
If I'm not clear I was talking about your little ships I just saw today. One sec I'll tear the side off in LDD.
02:53
< addking>
hmm, shit. I wanna post it somewhere I can delete it without feeling bad when I'm wrong ;P

Got sucked into a discussion of portfolio revisions and other nonsense.

I copy enough of your stuff, I don't want to look like I'm completely on your jock. :-)
03:39
< Mantisking>
I also don't have LDD or one of the other Lego CAD programs loaded.
03:39
< Soren>
Heh.
03:40
< Mantisking>
Looking at it, I have a rough count of 13 pieces.
03:40
< Soren>
well, it was a fun exercise in Not Sucking At LDraw, and I would be tremendously entertained by a table full of them.
03:40
< Mantisking>
I think I have everything except the eye and the legs.
03:40
< Soren>
14, thereās a bar in the middle holding him together.
03:40
< Mantisking>
Ah.
03:41
< Mantisking>
A cluster of them on the table acting as cover might be fun.

03:42
< Mantisking>
Cool.
03:42
< Mantisking>
That reminds me, I have to check on my Bricklink order.
03:42
< Soren>
Really, the ability to generate partslists is one of the best things about Lego CAD.
03:44
< Mantisking>
I'm guessing easier than doing it by hand.

Hey, how's it going?
03:46

Not bad.

I'm working on tomorrow's blog post and updating Brickshelf galleries.
03:48

03:49

You?

Soren, I had a really nice bourbon last night.

Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7 year old.

Creamy texture, Vanilla, toffee, Oak, and Cinnamon flavors.
03:52
< Mantisking>
Absolutely fantastic, only $40 in my area.
03:53
< Soren>
That does sound nice.
03:53
< Graf>
Ah, just got out of work. Having a few drinks.
03:55
< Soren>
Yeah, Iām seeing rave reviews, might have to try it.
03:57
< Graf>
36% rye in a bourbon sounds good enough to me
04:03
< addking>
Sorry, stepped away. At least I'm close.

Mmmm, more bourbon.
04:21
< Soren>
I think I will sample another of your presents.
04:23
< Mantisking>
How many have you had so far?
04:24
< Soren>
just the one - I have to brush my teeth afterwards, so I tend to wait until i know Iāll have a while to savor.
04:24

04:25

From a Celiac reaction?
04:25

Yep.

I think Bookerās, this time. Bourbon solidarity!
04:26

Ah, the Vanilla Hammer.

Sersiously.

04:26
< Soren>
This is clearly not fucking around with the label ācask strengthā
04:27
< Soren>
That is quite nice.
04:28
< Mantisking>
Yeah, it's 64.25% ABV.
04:28
< Mantisking>
I've got the 25th Anniversary bottling tucked away for a rainy day.
04:28
< Soren>
That seems prudent.
04:29
< Soren>
This is ridiculously smooth.
04:32
< Mantisking>
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
04:32
< Soren>
I will squirrel this away for my list of liquor-cabinet acquisitions.

Yeah, that was really tasty, but now I can only half-feel my tongue.
04:43
< Soren>
Not bad for a finger of whiskey.
04:44
< Mantisking>
I tend to only have that every now and then. Not really more than once a month.
04:44
< Soren>
Yeah, itās deinitely a sometimes drink.
04:45

04:46
< shadowclasper>
Heya guys, just made a post about MO, take a look at it, give me what you think.
04:46
< shadowclasper>
Summary: As BD is about the 'normal units' MO should be about the Ace Pilots.
04:46
< shadowclasper>
and you combine BD and MO to get Danger Close
04:46
< Mantisking>
Is this a 4Chan thing?
04:47
< shadowclasper>
yes
04:47
< Soren>
Throw up a link and we can see!
04:47
< shadowclasper>
http://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/32550807#p32600471
04:47
< shadowclasper>
Basically, the idea behind a campaign is it's about steady advancement of your tactical unit (an army, a squadron, whatever)
04:47
< shadowclasper>
BD is about the use of things BESIDES frames (and should cover everything that isn't a frame, including static defenses)
04:48
< shadowclasper>
MO is about SINGULAR advancement, about a SINGLE character, about an "Ace Pilot"
04:48
< shadowclasper>
usually a team of ace pilots, several ace pilots in a single squadron.
04:48
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/umw7aqwk3eunl70/Station%20-%20Sentry%20Gun.jpg Thusly and https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8c0n7viqk1lwkh/Station%20-%20Heavy%20Artillery%20Empl acement.jpg thusly, I assume?
04:49
< shadowclasper>
DC is where these two meet. It's about the advancement of several dudes. Also those pictures are broken links.
04:49
< Soren>
Hunh, are they?
04:49
< Soren>
Works for me.
04:49
< shadowclasper>
to me they are.
04:50
< Mantisking>
They work for me.
04:50
< shadowclasper>
can you try linking them singularly? I'm using the mibbit browser, so it gets wonky sometimes.
04:50
< Soren>

04:50
< shadowclasper>
nope...
04:51
< Soren>
odd.
04:51
< shadowclasper>
post them with a space between the last part of the html and the .jpg or .png or whatever.
04:51
< shadowclasper>
that's what we did on IronHearts when it got like this.
04:51
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8c0n7viqk1lwkh/Station%20-%20Heavy%20Artillery%20Empl acement .jpg
04:52
< shadowclasper>
got it!
04:52
< shadowclasper>
second one?
04:52
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/umw7aqwk3eunl70/Station%20-%20Sentry%20Gun .jpg
04:52
< shadowclasper>
and yeah, exactly that.
04:53
< shadowclasper>
way I'd make them work is WW+2d6. They cannot be moved through even by units with mobility dice, though for all other purposes they count as terrain. They can be placed in cover. They may never take mobility dice.
04:54
< Mantisking>
And I get broken links the second way.
04:54
< shadowclasper>
you need to copy-paste in the .jpg
04:54
< Soren>
bizarre.
04:54
< Mantisking>
It worked the first time, so I'm good.
04:55
< Soren>
(not your rule, but that this works for you and the original method did not.)
04:55
< Mantisking>
This stuff you're talking about is kinda funny.
04:55
< Mantisking>
As a friend and I were talking about playing a game of MFZ:RA using minifigs instead of robots.
04:56
< Mantisking>
Kitting them out with Brickarms and other accessories to denote systems.
04:56
< shadowclasper>
XD

I don't suppose you guys could recommend any good mecha anime?
20:02
< mraichelson>
i know thereās been some discussions around the hangar forum. there might be something to lift from in here: http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4504
20:02
< mraichelson>
somewhere i think thereās some notes on what all they based the game off, i know votoms gets mentioned (but iāve never seen it).
20:02
< mraichelson>
i kind of tuned out of most of it (except the eva rebuild movies) a long ways back.
20:03
< Rex>
That's what I'm currently watching.
20:03
< Rex>
The series.

ish.
20:03
< Ced23Ric>
Do you remember the sizes of IO ships?
20:03
< Ced23Ric>
Like, in metres or feet?
20:03
< Soren>
Thereās an email discussion about this. Let me dig it up.
20:04
< Ced23Ric>
Thanks1
20:05
< Rex>
I dunno, that thread is more about favorite mechs.
20:05
< Ced23Ric>
I finally decided on a fleet.
20:06
< Ced23Ric>
Or, rather, what the fleet should look like.
20:06
< Soren>
Yay
20:06
< Soren>
Rex, hang on, reading a thing, but I can point you at a few things.
20:10
< Soren>
Okay, done with that.
20:10
< Soren>
So, what are you looking for?
20:11
< Rex>
Me?
20:11
< Soren>
Yeah
20:11
< Rex>
I'm not sure.
20:12
< Soren>
Iām going to assume that super robots of the Getter/Mazinger/etc. breed donāt interest you a lot.
20:12
< Rex>
I'm about halfway through Armored Trooper VOTOMS.
20:12
< Soren>
(if they do, Iām not the guy to ask.)
20:12
< Rex>
Um
20:12

I'm really not a fan or super robots...

20:13
< Rex>
I'm diggin' that large bumble bee looking carrier thing.
20:13
< Soren>
I would recommend that you check out Gunbuster, which is super-robotā¦ ish? in places, but mostly not.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Rex: Two launch bays!
20:14
< Soren>
Ced, those are quite nice.
20:14
< Rex>
Gunbuster 1 or 2?
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah, that's the end of my journey to finally find a UMFL fleet I like to look at.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Orded the parts, plus 3 frame companies and it came out to about 70ā¬.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>

Slap a modulex in black in between and then, binos.

Rex: 1, but gāhead and watch the other if youāre bored.
20:16
< Soren>
Itās a good design. Pierre knows his shit.
20:17
< Rex>
Really, about the only mecha anime I've watched in 08th MS Team, Break Blade and IGPX. And some blue Gender and Macross when I was younger.
20:18
< Soren>
Ah, okay.
20:18
< Soren>
Iām sorry about Break Blade. I watched some and it was kind of awful.
20:18
< Soren>
Neat robots. Didnāt care about anything else, though.
20:19
< Ced23Ric>
So I was looking into plastic soldiers today.
20:19
< Ced23Ric>
Pretty much a wash.
20:19
< Soren>
I donāt know if Robot Carnival counts as mecha anime on the whole, but parts of it do, and itās really good.
20:20
< Ced23Ric>
I really liked the mechas in that series of shorts you talked to Emma about, Soren.
20:20
< Ced23Ric>
What was it again?
20:20
< Rex>
Do you know is Macross or Patlabor is any good?
20:20
< Ced23Ric>
The one with the team in exo suits.
20:21
< Ced23Ric>
Soren built several Patlabor mecha.
20:21
< Soren>
I am a total, hopeless, incorrigible fan of Patlabor.
20:21
< Ced23Ric>
Dunno what that is worth, though.
20:21
< Ced23Ric>
There you go.
20:21
< Soren>
I recommend it whole heartedly.
20:21
< Soren>
Macross, depends on the thing.
20:21
< Soren>
Macross Plus is very good, very short, and gives you a pretty good thematic overview of the stuff you can expect from any given Macross thing.
20:22
< Soren>
If you like it, try the original, try the movie (DYRL), and sample from there.
20:22
< Ced23Ric>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/hva_cbase.png
20:22

Well, I love old anime and hand drawn anime...but I also like good pacing.
20:23
< Ced23Ric>
I wanna build that and have the cbase guys fight over it.
20:23
< Soren>
Youāll like Patlabor, then.
20:23
< Soren>
Start with the original OVA, itās a good intro point.
20:23
< Soren>
Ced: thatās an adorable station.
20:24
< Ced23Ric>
It's supposed to be the CBase. :D
20:24
< Soren>
Letās see. I like what Iāve seen of Orguss? I should sit down and finish that.

20:25
< Ced23Ric>
Fuck.
20:25
< Ced23Ric>
Pedantry overpowering ... cannot ... resist ...
20:25
< Rex>
Is Patlabor just movies?
20:25
< Soren>
No, thereās a TV series. ITās even pretty good.
20:26
< Rex>
I need a new website then.
20:26
< Rex>
Now I don't know what to watch.
20:29
< Rex>
I'm actually really glad no one suggested Evangelion.
20:29
< Rex>
I tried watching that once.
20:32
< Soren>
Evangelion is good, but itās not good in the way that people who identify as fans of it think.
20:32
< Soren>
If you havenāt seen enough of the stuff theyāre riffing on, itās no coherent.
20:32
< Soren>
not*
20:34
< Ced23Ric>
Evangelion, I went in "blind".
20:34
< Ced23Ric>
And I did not search for the riffs.
20:34
< Ced23Ric>
I came for the mecha action and got it, too.
20:34
< Rex>
Well, I saw a couple episodes of a horrible dub, but all I remember is some kid too hung up on his emotional problems to stop whining and pilot some large robot.
20:35
< Rex>
Literally any other human on the planet could replace him.
20:36
< Rex>
I'll give it a shot though.
20:37
< Ced23Ric>
But Shinji needs to meet his overbearing, distant father, who is banging his sister/daughter clones, because his mother became part of the massive computer keeping humanity safe.
20:37
< Ced23Ric>
Shinji whines entire oceans.
