02:30
< Mantisking>
Sup, MN?
02:31
< Mantisking>
The con all done?
02:31
< MittenNinja>
yessir
02:31
< MittenNinja>
we outsold PAX east
02:31
< Mantisking>
Nice!
02:31
< MittenNinja>
115 copies i believe?
02:32
< Mantisking>
I don't remember how much Joshua sold at PAX East.
02:32
< MittenNinja>
that's how many we sold
02:32
< Mantisking>
I'm surprised you guys aren't out having dinner.
02:32
< MittenNinja>
josh said it was by far more than pax
02:32
< MittenNinja>
were all pooped
02:32
< Mantisking>
I know that feeling.
02:33
< MittenNinja>
we all had dinner last night though
02:33
< Mantisking>
Cool.
02:33
< Mantisking>
I can't wait for the after action report.
02:33
< MittenNinja>
im hoping the sales give a nice boost to the local player base
02:34
< Mantisking>
Not like yours isn't fairly strong already.
02:34
< MittenNinja>
hey, the bigger the better
02:35
< Mantisking>
True.
02:36
< Mantisking>
You talk to any members of the Hangar?
02:37
< MittenNinja>
one yeah. if i talked to any others they didnt mention it
02:38
< Mantisking>
How many people did you get for the tournament?
02:43
< MittenNinja>
not many. in fact in ended up being less of a real tournament and more of just a series of a few games with the same people.
02:43
< MittenNinja>
which is fine
02:43
< MittenNinja>
it was still a blast.
02:44
< Mantisking>
The new pictures you posted to FB are not available.

02:48

Yup, you're good.
02:48

sweet
02:48
< Rex>
Good evening, gentlemen.
02:49
< Mantisking>
Evenin'.
02:49
< Mantisking>
I say that and I feel like I should have a glass of bourbon in my hand.
02:49
< Mantisking>
:-)
02:50
< Mantisking>
MN, I'm guessing from the first batch of photos that FragsturBait showed up to play.
02:50
< Rex>
I've got a glass of wine. And some jelly beans.
02:50
< Rex>
I'm classy like that.
02:51
< Mantisking>
I haven't had jelly beans since Easter.
02:51
< MittenNinja>
you are correct mantis
02:52
< Rex>
Hey, MN.
02:52
< Rex>
I've been perusing your Flickr thing lately.
02:52
< MittenNinja>
right on
02:52
< Rex>
Did you paint that green one?
02:53
< MittenNinja>
which green one?
02:53
< Rex>
I can't recall.
02:54
< MittenNinja>
there are a few on there that i used vinyl dye on.
02:55
< Rex>
I see.
02:55
< Mantisking>
For example. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7375646580/
02:56
< Rex>
If only I were intelligent enough to click on them.
02:57
< Rex>
It looks really good on those Iguanas.
02:57
< MittenNinja>
yeah
02:57
< MittenNinja>
it looks pretty slick, unfortunately im all out and the site it from doesnt have any more in stock
02:58
< Rex>
They kind of look like Master Chief...
02:58
< MittenNinja>
yeah. which is a reason i dont like them
02:59
< Rex>
Oh?
03:00
< MittenNinja>
not a big halo fan.
03:02
< Rex>
Which is probably why you own a PS, I assume.
03:02
< MittenNinja>
actually no
03:02
< Mantisking>
I'm going to step away for a bit. I still have Lego to clean up before the fiance gets home tomorrow.
03:02
< Rex>
Xbox hasn't had much else in terms of big name exclusives.
03:03
< MittenNinja>
cool man, see ya around
03:03
< MittenNinja>
i owned an xbox and a 360
03:03
< Rex>
I see.
03:03
< MittenNinja>
there were a few games that were either better on xbox or exclusive
03:03
< MittenNinja>
the ps4 is just so much better than the one
03:04
< MittenNinja>
oh and destiny is awesome
03:04
< Rex>
I'm leaning towards getting a ps4, myself.
03:04
< Rex>
I kind of want that white console. And a few of the exclusives had me interested.
03:05
< Rex>
You got into the alpha then?
03:06
< MittenNinja>
yessir
03:06
< Rex>
Dang, I'm jealous.
03:07
< Rex>
I wanted to test it out. Some of the videos have been worrying to me.
03:07
< Rex>
The "Patrols" I'm guessing.
03:07
< MittenNinja>
what were your concerns?
03:09
< Rex>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHlvTtWLkBI
03:09
< Rex>
That aspect just looks kind of boring.
03:10
< MittenNinja>
that patrol is really bland. i agree
03:10
< MittenNinja>
but its also a very low level intro quest
03:10
< Rex>
Fair enough.
03:11
< MittenNinja>
honestly the explore missions and the strikes in the alpha were way better

03:13
< mraichelson>
hola
03:13
< Rex>
I'm pretty excited.
03:13
< mraichelson>
how was dcc?
03:13
< MittenNinja>
it was awesome
03:13
< mraichelson>
(not to derail showing up mid-convo or anything)
03:13
< MittenNinja>
we sold out of rulebooks
03:13
< Rex>
On a side note, I don't suppose you would have a breakdown of those Iguanas?
03:13
< mraichelson>
i saw josh saying a ton sold.
03:14
< MittenNinja>
i do rex, even better there are instructions
03:15
< MittenNinja>
...that i cant find at the moment
03:16
< MittenNinja>
heres the breakdown though:
03:16
< MittenNinja>
http://mfzorion6.blogspot.com/2012/04/st-09-iguana.html?m=1
03:16
< Rex>
I'm hoping to set up a demo at the comic book store I frequent.
03:17
< MittenNinja>
nice
03:17
< Rex>
Oh, thank you, thank you.
03:17
< Rex>
Unfortunately I can't do it anytime soon.
03:17
< mraichelson>
there was some kind of ldd of those somewhere wasnât there?
03:17
< MittenNinja>
i thought so
03:18 * mraichelson could swear he poked around with them before and never had the parts
03:18
< Rex>
I gave the owner a bottle of wine recently, so I don't want to seem like I was greasing the wheels or something. And my wallet is on a diet since I put my spare cash away for a PS4.
03:19
< MittenNinja>
for sure
03:19
< MittenNinja>
hang on brb
03:19
< MittenNinja>
gotta call my dad quick
03:23

back
03:48
< MittenNinja>
finally getting away from your white/blue scheme?
03:49
< locas>
I'm glad I'm not the only person without 3x3 dishes
03:50
< mraichelson>
no, still have my company in white/black/tr. light blue. more kits coming.
04:18
< Mantisking>
I like that new Scrambler.

17:07
< mraichelson>

Hey, MN.
17:07 * mraichelson cues applause
17:07
< Mantisking>
I was all set to take tons of pictures this past weekend.
17:08
< Mantisking>
Then I discovered the fiance took the camera with her for the weekend.
17:08
< mraichelson>
dâoh!
17:08
< Mantisking>
Yup.
17:08
< MittenNinja>
well thats a bummer
17:08
< Mantisking>
I built and sorted instead.
17:09
< MittenNinja>
were going to be recordijg for ep3 later today
17:09
< mraichelson>
nice
17:10
< MittenNinja>
yeah looking forward to it
17:10
< Mantisking>
Are you recording this one with Joshua?
17:13
< MittenNinja>
yessir
17:14
< Mantisking>
Cool.
17:16
< Mantisking>
So I built another one of this frame. https://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/7422439188/
17:16
< Mantisking>
And assembled the parts for a third.
17:16
< MittenNinja>
nice
17:16
< MittenNinja>
i still think you should change the feet to 1x3s
17:17
< MittenNinja>
they look a little too much like clown shoes
17:18
< Mantisking>
You are not the first person to say that. Also probably not the last. :-)
17:20
< Mantisking>
I also assembled the parts for two more of these. https://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/12633790544/
17:20
< Mantisking>
Plus a larger version.

Even though the tails of two frigates are improvised because the BL store didn't ship 4 more of those ladder things.
19:45
< locas>
oh shit, these look EXCELLENT in the brick
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
Emma, without being pushy, just asking (don't hit me) - what's the damage on the postage?
19:45
< locas>
did not do it yet, probably won't till timorrow
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah, I really like how they turned out. Thanks! :)
19:45
< locas>
tomorrow*
19:45
< locas>
we have game night tonight
19:45
< locas>
and I just woke up
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
No worries. :)
19:45
< locas>
the green blocking is perfect
19:46
< locas>
and the color scheme is sooo good
19:46
< Ced23Ric>
Well, it is the standard UMFL colour scheme. :D
19:46
< locas>
true
19:46
< Ced23Ric>
I feel like the green stripe on the ridge carries it all home.
19:46
< locas>
but the black and yellow striping gives it a different feel
19:46
< locas>
yeah the ridge is great all around
19:47
< Ced23Ric>
With a little luck, my Ijad fleet parts arrive this week.
19:47
< Ced23Ric>
And my HVAs, too.
19:47
< Ced23Ric>
Also, I decided to go with a green ace.
19:47
< locas>
I might be silly but I think I liked the turrets better as they were in ldd
19:47
< locas>
without the binocs
19:47
< Ced23Ric>
Red for the FC, blue for the ijad.
19:47
< Ced23Ric>
You liked them stubby, eh?
19:48
< Ced23Ric>
I kind of like them like this. Has a bit more details and weight to it.
19:48
< locas>
I think the only reason I don't like them like this is that they flare out slightly
19:48
< locas>
but it's not super noticable
19:48
< Ced23Ric>
That's me not putting them correctly.
19:48
< locas>
ah
19:48
< Ced23Ric>
It's a somewhat loose fit.
19:49
< locas>
I love the underslung turrets
19:49
< Mantisking>
Those look really nice.
19:50
< Ced23Ric>
Chin turrets are something of a guilty pleasure for me.
19:50
< Ced23Ric>
Thanks Ray!
19:50
< Mantisking>
You went a little crazy with the frames though.
19:50
< Ced23Ric>
Well, it's 3 companies, of 4 frames each, with one Ace.
19:50
< Ced23Ric>
Normally, they sit on ther 4x4 bases.
19:50
< Ced23Ric>
But for the shot, I spread them out.
19:51
< Ced23Ric>
Building those dudes was way too much fun, by the way.
19:51
< Ced23Ric>
I had an army of 12 little dudes being awesome in front of me and giggled.
19:52
< Mantisking>
I built a few ships this weekend myself.
19:58
< Mantisking>
How's the conversation going over on 4Chan?
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
Well, it goes everywhere and nowhere. :D
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
It seems like we're gonna buid our own star system within MFZ's universe and then generate stuff out of that.
20:02
< Mantisking>
Okay.
20:41
< mraichelson>
so, iâve never completely grasped what it was the 4chan group was trying to do. campaign rules? crunchier combat? bake muffins?
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
Everything and nothing.
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
It's a maelstrom of chaos. Always.
20:43
< mraichelson>
sounds like 4chan to me :)
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
For a brief moment in time it looks like there is a direction.
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
But than disperses.
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
I keep the general running to attract some wargamers. ;)
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
But for project work, in the end, I do everything myself.
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
There is another guy working on a ChromeHounds conversion.
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
Quite interesting.
20:44 * mraichelson googles to figure out what that means
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
chromeHounds is a console game.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
Cool Mechas vs. FodderMechs.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
Or, multiplayer worldwide risk warmap style.
20:45 * mraichelson nods, takes notes
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
Watch some review videos.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
It's actually fairly mediocre.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
But it has a big pfanbase.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
-p
20:46
< Ced23Ric>
Well, maybe not big, but dedicated.

That's a little bit crazy.
20:54
< Ced23Ric>
Not sold on it.
20:54
< Ced23Ric>
The use of those balljoints kills it for me.
20:55
< Ced23Ric>
And it looks a littel cobbled together.
20:55
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, and there is an entire element of the leg plain missing.
20:55
< Ced23Ric>
It goes hip, ankle, foot.
20:55
< Ced23Ric>
No upper leg.

the head and top of the chest are neat
21:06
< mraichelson>
mostly, more kits.
21:06 * mraichelson ducks
21:06
< locas>
it's missing the iconic shoulders
21:06
< mraichelson>
but a bunch of terrain too.
21:07
< Ced23Ric>
Emma: And half a leg.
21:07
< Ced23Ric>
That kills me.
21:07
< locas>
yeah
21:07
< locas>
the arms are way too big compared to the leg because of that
21:07

and the backpack is also pissing

PISSING
21:07

If I had that size, I'd wank.
21:08
< locas>
wow
21:08
< locas>
I lost the ability to type
21:08
< locas>
I like where the builder was going with the dishes on the legs
21:08
< locas>
but they need to be on the lower leg
21:08
< locas>
not the thigh
21:08
< locas>
I also like the shoes
21:08
< locas>
they're silly
21:08
< Ced23Ric>
Big boo on the ball joints!
21:08
< locas>
extra boo
21:08
< locas>
well I don't really mind the hip ones
21:08
< locas>
I'm neutral on them
21:08
< locas>
the arms are just terrible
21:08
< Ced23Ric>
I do. On principle, though.
21:09
< locas>
yeah
21:09
< Ced23Ric>
I like that we are discussing the degrees of our discontentment.

we're ruthless

< Mantisking_>
Less than an hour to go.

I like the head a lot but I think it's too scopedog
21:10
< locas>
not enough fatty
21:10
< locas>
to be a chub head
21:10
< locas>
I'd prefer it if it lost the cheese slope and binocs
21:10
< locas>
it's pleasingly shiny up there though
21:14
< Mantisking_>
I admire the attempt.
21:14
< locas>
yeah, agreed
21:14
< Mantisking_>
It's not something I would have thought of doing.
21:14
< locas>
surprised we haven't seen more of them actually
21:15
< Mantisking_>
The community tends to be a little hard on minifig scale builders.
21:16
< locas>
that's true
21:16
< Ced23Ric>
I like well done builds.
21:17
< Ced23Ric>
And I feel like the attempt in itself is a good one.
21:17
< Ced23Ric>
The execution, though, I find wanting.
21:17
< locas>
I wouldn't have been half as mean if the builder was in the channel
21:17
< locas>
(I hope you aren't builder :O)
21:17
< locas>
the upside is that I think it's actually a very decent core
21:17
< locas>
just needs some tweaking
21:18 * mraichelson spams public log link all over twitter
21:19
< locas>
well maybe it will be useful criticism ;P
