| 00:05 | < RookDroid> | Hmmm. I can't keep slacking on photographing my builds. |
| 00:19 | < FlakManiak> | I'm way behind on photography; I just photographed a week or less ago some stuff that's been built for a year. |
| 00:20 | < FlakManiak> | Once I finish building this one squad I'm currently assembling, I've got to photograph this squad, its two adjunct models, and four super robots, three of which are new and one of which I never photographed because I wasn't satisfied with it, but it's been recently upgraded. |
| 00:20 | < FlakManiak> | So I guess I'll have photos of two five-frame squads, four super robots, and three squad-related frames. |
| 00:24 | < RookDroid> | I've gotta get the upgraded Penguins photographed, they've been ready for four months. Got a flying Conscript, a heavily modified Chub for the Trick That Chub thread, and two spanking new frames I'm finally satisfied with. |
| 00:24 | < RookDroid> | On a related note, arms are tough. |
| 00:24 | < RookDroid> | I've basically been ignoring them. |
| 00:25 | < RookDroid> | Oh, and some vehicles! |
| 00:25 | < RookDroid> | Forgot about those. |
| 00:26 | < FlakManiak> | I've found arms to be easy in the abstract, but scaling them to legs and torsos can be hard. When I build gatlinggouf-style superchub-based super robots, the torsos are really short compared to the scale of the legs, so if the arms are in scale with the legs they look too long, and in scale with the torso they look too short. |
| 00:26 | < FlakManiak> | But for all my non-huge mecha, arms have been fairly easy. |
| 00:26 | < RookDroid> | My connections just feel super flimsy. |
| 00:27 | < FlakManiak> | What connections are you using? |
| 00:27 | < RookDroid> | So they seperate at the "elbow" |
| 00:29 | < RookDroid> | My shoulder goes from claw to travis, travis to 1x1 with pin-hole, stud to 1x1 round, round to clip tile. |
| 00:29 | < FlakManiak> | So no elbow articulation? |
| 00:29 | < RookDroid> | So the travis stud plugs into the pin-hole, giving me a 90 degree elbow. |
| 00:29 | < RookDroid> | No. |
| 00:29 | < FlakManiak> | Oh. |
| 00:30 | < RookDroid> | Some side-to-side |
| 00:30 | < FlakManiak> | Isn't stud into pin-hole a really tight fit? |
| 00:30 | < RookDroid> | But no flex. |
| 00:30 | < RookDroid> | Normally yes. |
| 00:30 | < FlakManiak> | I guess it depends on what piece's stud and pin hole. |

| 00:55 | < RookMobile> | Welcome back, Flak. |
| 00:56 | < FlakManiak> | Hey. |
| 00:56 | < FlakManiak> | So you know the 1x1 bricks with a handle on the side? I might actually have run out of those. Exciting! |
| 00:56 | < FlakManiak> | I think I still have some but I'm not sure where. |
| 00:58 | < RookMobile> | My onlysupply of those are ulling a random nixel. |
| 00:59 | < RookMobile> | How popular are those on PaB walls? |
| 00:59 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, I dunno. I'm certain I've seen some reports of them, but I don't think I've seen them on the wall around where I live. |
| 00:59 | < FlakManiak> | I keep putting a few of those into my random BrickLink orders, but I think I haven't actually done that enough. |
| 01:01 | < RookMobile> | What do you use them for? |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | Gun handles. |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | Sometimes other parts of guns, but mostly handles. |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | One of those, then either a Travis or a headlight, then build backwards and forwards. |
| 01:03 | < RookMobile> | Hmmm. |
| 01:06 | < FlakManiak> | You'll find that the vast majority of the handheld guns on my frames are built that way. |
| 01:07 | | Shades_Corvid [ShadesCorvi@Nightstar-57ekpq.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 01:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | Is there still life in here? |
| 01:07 | < RookMobile> | Yeah, seems solid. |
| 01:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | It lives! |
| 01:08 | < RookMobile> | I've been toying with this really interesting kreo piece. You know those 2x1 plates with handle? |
| 01:08 | < RookMobile> | Imaine one of t |
| 01:10 | < RookMobile> | Imagine one of those, but the plate was 1x1 round, and the handle is roughly 2/3rds the length. |
| 01:10 | < RookMobile> | Makes a good underslung handle, but I've been using them as barels/gas blocks. |
| 01:10 | < RookMobile> | Barrels* |
| 01:11 | < FlakManiak> | Do you have a photo of this piece? I'm not quite sure what you mean. |
| 01:11 | < FlakManiak> | Also, which 2x1 plates with handle? The one on the side, or the one on the end? |
| 01:11 | < RookMobile> | The one on the side. |
| 01:12 | < RookMobile> | So it's basically a minifig mug without the whole cup. |
| 01:12 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 01:12 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think I know what you are talking about. |
| 01:13 | < RookMobile> | When I photograph my conscript, I'll point them out. |
| 01:13 | < RookMobile> | Using them for a drum-fed frame shotgun. |
| 01:14 | < FlakManiak> | So what's with all the lone builds these days? |
| 01:14 | < RookMobile> | Is that a trend? |
| 01:15 | < FlakManiak> | Maybe it was always like that. |
| 01:15 | < FlakManiak> | But... How many actual, full frame companies do you see, vs. one-off builds? |
| 01:15 | < RookMobile> | The project originated from a lack of canon designx, so I whipped up a chub and a scrip |
| 01:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | It has been like that in my observation, people well get a company or two build then just start playing around as they can't find anyone to play with. |
| 01:16 | < RookMobile> | If you count my demonteams, I've built five companies so far utilizing eight unique designs. |
| 01:16 | < FlakManiak> | Hah yeah, I understand the desire for a scalechub (or equivalent). |
| 01:17 | < FlakManiak> | And yeah I don't have any opponents either, so I'm just a builder. |
| 01:17 | < FlakManiak> | I'm guilty of lone builds of late, but with eleven companies completed and a twelfth in construction today, I think I'm less guilty than most. |
| 01:17 | < RookMobile> | Recently I've been trying to reduce tablescrap. |
| 01:17 | < FlakManiak> | I say, having just built three super robots. |
| 01:18 | < Shades_Corvid> | Arg, my vid has seem to died. Hopefully a reboot will fix it. brb |
| 01:18 | < RookMobile> | Also, as far as the forums ar concerned, folks probably want to debut a dsign asap, before a whole companyis ready. |
| 01:18 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm, as for unique designs... |
| 01:18 | | Shades_Corvid [ShadesCorvi@Nightstar-57ekpq.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 01:18 | < FlakManiak> | Two of my companies really are just the same design. |
| 01:18 | < FlakManiak> | Two are Chubs and two are Superchubs. |
| 01:18 | < RookMobile> | Or they're just trying to milk as many threads as possible from what the'vemzde |
| 01:19 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, two more are fundamentally the same design. |
| 01:19 | < FlakManiak> | So hmm. |
| 01:19 | < RookMobile> | .... godamn touch-screen. |
| 01:19 | < FlakManiak> | I guess I have... Five original frame designs? Six I guess? Seven? Seven. |
| 01:20 | < FlakManiak> | I'm purposely not counting ones that are even particularly close. |
| 01:20 | < FlakManiak> | I'm counting my red guys and blue dragons as the same, for example, because they have the same body structure. |
| 01:20 | < RookMobile> | Due to parts limitations, most of my builds are unique. |
| 01:20 | < FlakManiak> | But hmm, yeah, seven sounds right. |
| 01:21 | < FlakManiak> | (Ok, eight actually; only three of my super robots are sufficiently close to gatlinggouf's that I won't count them as original.) |
| 01:21 | < RookMobile> | The macaque, penguin, mohessut, pelican, and spidercrab were all originals. |
| 01:22 | < RookMobile> | On top of that, i've built one scrip, one commisar, and two chubs. |
| 01:22 | < FlakManiak> | And yeah I think a lot of people are really into "showing something at all"; I tend to be a little the opposite and only want to show things that are well and truly finished. |
| 01:23 | < FlakManiak> | I've had my dark red super robot sitting around for a year, but it just never looked quite right so I didn't post it. Only now is it ready. |
| 01:23 | < RookMobile> | I'm excited to see it. |
| 01:24 | < FlakManiak> | Ok, I should stop chatting and assemble the rest of this company of superchubs, then photograph all my unphotographed builds. |
| 01:24 | < RookMobile> | Do it. |
| 01:24 | < FlakManiak> | (Or maybe I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow for sunlight, since I find outdoor photography works very nicely.) |
| 01:25 | < RookMobile> | I'd be photographing my backlog, butI'm at work. |
| 01:28 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 01:28 | < Mantisking> | The 1x1 Bricks w/Handles are available on the PaB wall. |
| 01:28 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. At least for the dark-colored builds, I think I have to photograph outside. |
| 01:29 | < FlakManiak> | I mean, there's also the bonus of nice backgrounds, but even without, the lighting makes it worth it. |
| 01:29 | < FlakManiak> | The walls at which stores? |
| 01:29 | < Mantisking> | Natick at least. |
| 01:29 | < FlakManiak> | I usually go to the Burlington one. |
| 01:29 | < FlakManiak> | My dad and I will probably go to one tomorrow. |
| 01:30 | < Mantisking> | I haven't been to Burlington in a while. |
| 01:32 | < FlakManiak> | Do you know if any places have Travises on the wall still? I thought I had an inexhaustible supply but I bet if I tried I could exhaust it. (Note: I had to give 150 away to even get to a point where I'm thinking "Hmm, a few more companies and I might be in danger of running out.") |
| 01:33 | < FlakManiak> | (Back when they showed up on the walls I had whoever it was ship me some.) |
| 01:33 | < Mantisking> | They're at Natick as well. |
| 01:33 | | Shades_Corvid [ShadesCorvi@Nightstar-57ekpq.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 01:34 | < Mantisking> | I think that has become one of the "standard items" on the PaB wall. |
| 01:34 | < Shades_Corvid> | and back, and sound is fixed. |
| 01:34 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. Interesting. |
| 01:34 | < FlakManiak> | Burlington had headlight bricks for a while, and still might; I now have a seemingly inexhaustible supply of those. |
| 01:35 | < Mantisking> | Natick had them mixed in with the Travis Bricks. |
| 01:35 | < RookMobile> | Also this months pick-a-build has them in green, right. |
| 01:36 | < RookMobile> | ? |
| 01:36 | < FlakManiak> | Wait, which thing in green? |
| 01:37 | < Mantisking> | f-15 flyover! |
| 01:37 | < RookMobile> | Happy 4th, indeed. |
| 01:37 | < FlakManiak> | Also hmm, I think I haven't been there since they instituted the pick-a-build thing. I think last I went they said something about how they were instituting it and thus the number of normal wall slots was being cut? |
| 01:38 | < RookMobile> | It's a technicality, I think. Still valid for pab cups. |
| 01:38 | < Mantisking> | http://imgur.com/a/x8NKE |
| 01:39 | < Mantisking> | I've heard as long as you don't get too greedy, you'll be okay. |
| 01:39 | < RookMobile> | Just let me know when taps are on the wall. |
| 01:39 | < Mantisking> | I think every microscale builder would love to see that. |
| 01:40 | < FlakManiak> | They're on the wall of my heart! (TL note: That means they're on BrickLink and I just got a million that way.) |
| 01:42 | < FlakManiak> | So you know that transparent pink color? The current one. (Is there more than one currently in use?) So you can get 1x1 round plates in that color. Great. The eye of my blue dragons is one of those. But you can't get regular 1x1 plates in that color! It's terrible! The Dragon Tyrant was supposed to have its eye be pink, and not red. |
| 01:43 | < FlakManiak> | Also can't get 1x1 plates in transparent purple. |
| 01:44 | < RookMobile> | That's a shame. |
| 01:44 | < RookMobile> | My cup runneth over with those transpink rounds. |
| 01:45 | < RookMobile> | If you need more, feel fre- wait, is there a lego store I don't know about in burlington vt? |
| 01:46 | < FlakManiak> | Burlington, MA |
| 01:46 | < RookMobile> | Damn. |
| 01:46 | < FlakManiak> | Curse these states and their same-name towns. |
| 01:46 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol |
| 01:47 | < RookMobile> | One of those is significantly closer to me than the other, and it's a shame that it' in another state. |
| 01:47 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am thinking of cracking open the Mega Bloks Halo Mantis Set tomorrow.... |
| 01:47 | < FlakManiak> | Anyway I really like a certain superchub head design whose eye is a 1x1 plate. And whenever the surrounding chub's armor color is dark blue, transparent pink is unequivocally the correct color for the eye. But alas. |
| 01:47 | < Shades_Corvid> | Isn't there a site/group that tries to track active PaB wall inventory by location? |
| 01:48 | < RookMobile> | Man, thought the old sets of halo MB would be way cheaper, but near me, they're way over .10/piece. |
| 01:48 | < FlakManiak> | Thankfully it's reasonably easy to get 1x1 plates in transparent light blue, for mechs of various colors. |
| 01:48 | < FlakManiak> | Bleh, Mega Bloks. |
| 01:48 | < RookMobile> | That's not the problem, shades. |
| 01:49 | < RookMobile> | The problem is I ive over an hour to the nearest lego store. |
| 01:49 | < Shades_Corvid> | I got it on sale but I didn't care about G.R. on this purchase as the goal was the Mantis itself. |
| 01:49 | < Shades_Corvid> | Rook, try like 2 half hours. |
| 01:50 | < RookMobile> | I'm still proud of the macaque build. |
| 01:50 | < RookMobile> | =| that's still an hour each way. |
| 01:51 | < RookMobile> | I keep tryig to bundle a trip into natick as part of our occasional tripsto boston. |
| 01:51 | < FlakManiak> | You mean this set? https://s2.megabrandsmedia.com/catalog/products/megabloks-unsc-mantis-97115-3764 .jpg |
| 01:51 | < RookMobile> | But plans keep falling through. |
| 01:51 | < Shades_Corvid> | Yes and No, I think it is a later version then that one. |
| 01:52 | < Mantisking> | There's a remore control version. |
| 01:52 | < Mantisking> | I have three copies of the one in that picture. |
| 01:52 | < Shades_Corvid> | No, wait, that is it. |
| 01:52 | < RookMobile> | Dude, you have not lived until you've experienced those 2x1 -/- plates. |
| 01:52 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am use to having the Bay in the picture too. |
| 01:52 | < RookMobile> | Prepare your body. |
| 01:53 | < Shades_Corvid> | Though I am pretty sure I got it under Ratio now that I look at it. |
| 01:53 | < Mantisking> | http://www.brickbuildr.com/view/pab/ |
| 01:53 | < Mantisking> | The base price was under ratio if I remember correctly. |
| 01:53 | < FlakManiak> | I don't know what it is, but Halo's mechanical designs never spoke to me. Probably something to do with the fact that I never played Halo, but also... The aesthetic never grabbed me. |
| 01:54 | < Mantisking> | They're really hit and miss for me. |
| 01:54 | < Shades_Corvid> | Well mechs didn't come into the series until later, after I stopped playing really though I do like me some Puma....I mean warthog... |
| 01:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | In fact I wouldn't be surprise if it more of a Halo Wars thing. |
| 01:55 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, for the 1x1 handle bricks on the wall in Natick... What color were they? |
| 01:55 | < RookMobile> | It's a 2x1 plate with two female ends instead of studs. |
| 01:55 | < RookMobile> | Also that natick listing is oooooold. |
| 01:56 | < RookMobile> | Gotta get on that, manis. |
| 01:56 | < RookMobile> | =D |
| 01:56 | < Mantisking> | The 1x1 w/Handle are Light Bley. |
| 01:56 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah, that's the problem with these user-updated things. |
| 01:56 | < FlakManiak> | Oh bluh. I need them in black. |
| 01:56 | < FlakManiak> | Well, I almost certainly have some still lying around, if I can find them... |
| 01:56 | < RookMobile> | Buy more mixels and hope younget lucky |
| 01:57 | < Mantisking> | There's a Green Mixel in Series 4 with two of them in black. |
| 01:57 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am thinking we might see some steampunk like frames from those clocky, geary mixels. |
| 01:58 | < RookMobile> | And you can double that if you pull a nixel. |
| 01:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | Nixel is specific to one model per clan per series...I hope that made sense... |
| 01:58 | < RookMobile> | Ioh god. |
| 01:59 | < RookMobile> | I thought they were random. |
| 01:59 | < Mantisking> | Correction, White & Lime. http://the-mobile-frame-garage.blogspot.com/2015/06/review-41527-rockit.html |
| 01:59 | < RookMobile> | Does walmart not carry mixels? |
| 02:00 | < Mantisking> | They do. |
| 02:00 | < Shades_Corvid> | Varies per store, with any of them. |
| 02:00 | < Shades_Corvid> | aka your local stores may vary |
| 02:00 | < RookMobile> | I couldn't find them in our local wally, further widening the dry hole that is western ma. |
| 02:01 | < RookMobile> | And their prices on those "basics/classics" boxes were very unappealing. |
| 02:01 | < Mantisking> | Really? |
| 02:01 | < RookMobile> | I wanted one for terrain. |
| 02:01 | < Shades_Corvid> | Outside of exclusives I think it pretty much up to that local store what items they will carry given LEGO has such big catalaques now. |
| 02:02 | < RookMobile> | Yeah, like 24 bucks for the small one, 36 for the large. |
| 02:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | I find them good deals if just terrain is what your after. |
| 02:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | What? |
| 02:02 | < RookMobile> | Right? |
| 02:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | That isn't what I paid. |
| 02:03 | < RookMobile> | I don't doubt that. |
| 02:03 | < RookMobile> | My corner of the state is vulture-city. |
| 02:04 | < Shades_Corvid> | the smallest and cheapest starts at 16.99 which is what I got to help with a con with 221 pieces. |
| 02:04 | < Mantisking> | http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Classic-ByTheme |
| 02:04 | < RookMobile> | I like that they're listing contents on the packaging, to. |
| 02:05 | < RookMobile> | But they didn't list as many 2x1 bricks as I would've hoped. |
| 02:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | Of course anything not Star Wars TRU will tack on an extra dollar |
| 02:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Creative-Bricks-10692 |
| 02:06 | < Shades_Corvid> | That light house is going into my terrain |
| 02:06 | < Mantisking> | If it's Star Wars it's an extra $2. |
| 02:06 | < Shades_Corvid> | Mine seems to not tack on for star wars, at least the LEGO stuff. |
| 02:07 | < RookMobile> | Yeah, you must understand that this is the same wally that had a damaged box on the clearancd shelf with the special tag listkng it at full msrp. |
| 02:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | All the classic yellows are under GR, PLUS some you get a nifty storage case. |
| 02:07 | < RookMobile> | Because walmart. |
| 02:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | LOL, yeah, your local region is shit it sounds like. |
| 02:08 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. Wallymart can be mercenary. |
| 02:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | Of course I have like 3 walmarts competing with each other in my area. |
| 02:08 | < RookMobile> | Gonna start persuing target's selection more aggressively. |
| 02:08 | < FlakManiak> | Wait, the giant green baseplates are eight bucks now? |
| 02:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | Dude, red card. |
| 02:08 | < Mantisking> | Target is getting hinky too. |
| 02:09 | < RookMobile> | Hmmm. |
| 02:09 | < Mantisking> | I've seen sets marked up between $0.10 and $0.50. |
| 02:09 | < RookMobile> | Pushing that target card, huh? |
| 02:10 | < Shades_Corvid> | 5% off isn't no joke man, then sometimes you get lucky with the cart wheel. Plus that 5% stacks with any kind of sale they have going on usually. |
| 02:10 | < FlakManiak> | "I fouled a guy at Target, and they gave me a red card." |
| 02:11 | < Shades_Corvid> | It just a debit card linked to your checking account you can only use at Target. |
| 02:11 | < FlakManiak> | (I don't actually know soccer; I presume when you foul someone it's just a penalty shot or whatever.) |
| 02:12 | < Mantisking> | Sigggghh. |
| 02:12 | < RookMobile> | Yellow card is a warning. Three of those and you're ejected. |
| 02:12 | < Mantisking> | Biggest sport in the world and Americans still don't have a clue. |
| 02:13 | < RookMobile> | One red and you're out. |
| 02:13 | < Shades_Corvid> | And so begins the 'dog freaks out over and over' part of the evening. Man, this first brick loot review is going to be so bad... |
| 02:13 | < RookMobile> | Lol |
| 02:14 | < RookMobile> | They know. |
| 02:14 | < RookMobile> | Just like cats know exactly when to hop onto your keyoard. |
| 02:14 | < Mantisking> | My cat just went from freaking out to fascinated. |
| 02:15 | < Shades_Corvid> | If you are suggesting my dog is freaking out over this review -_-... because I am refering to fireworks. |
| 02:15 | < Mantisking> | So am I. |
| 02:15 | < Shades_Corvid> | I was talking about Rook |
| 02:16 | < Mantisking> | I'm the only one that freaks out over your reviews. :-) |
| 02:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | ug...sick bricks... |
| 02:17 | < Mantisking> | Is that what you're reviewing? |
| 02:18 | < Shades_Corvid> | That is because your afraid I will review everything before you. LOL No. There was a pack in the Brick Loot Box and it just come up on the unpacking part of the vid. |
| 02:19 | < RookMobile> | Mantis, youn |
| 02:20 | < RookMobile> | You recall how poorly balanced and unstable my Penguins were at PAX? |
| 02:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | Did someone say Penguin? |
| 02:20 | < Mantisking> | Yup. |
| 02:20 | < RookMobile> | You will be relieved to hear the solution to that problem is....stompy. |
| 02:21 | < FlakManiak> | It might be the biggest sport in the world, but I'm not a sports person at all. |
| 02:21 | < RookMobile> | Completely redesigned the legs, and the feet are massive. |
| 02:21 | < FlakManiak> | So it's not like I'm unfairly discriminating against soccer here! |
| 02:21 | < Shades_Corvid> | I use to play Soccer, I track our local Roller Derby Team...waiting on Roof Top Racing... |
| 02:22 | < RookMobile> | Soon(tm) |
| 02:23 | < RookMobile> | Fun idea I'm kicking around, tellme if you think it's foolish.. |
| 02:24 | < RookMobile> | Photomanips of board members perched in/on their favorite/signature frames. |
| 02:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | That's neat |
| 02:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | and tech I am doing three reviews at once I guess you can say |
| 02:31 | < Mantisking> | So me on top of one of my Crab Mecha? |
| 02:34 | < FlakManiak> | So I would either be perched on the mech in my Flickr icon, the first blue dragon, or the Dragon Tyrant. |
| 02:34 | < FlakManiak> | My Flickr icon mech is actually the first one I built. |
| 02:34 | < Shades_Corvid> | I wouldn't have a picture. |
| 02:35 | < Shades_Corvid> | Well, I find Hi-Legs pretty cool... |
| 02:37 | < RookMobile> | Phase 1, learn how to photomanip |
| 02:37 | < RookMobile> | Think I've got a copy of cs or something. |
| 02:40 | < Shades_Corvid> | It should not be that hard for me to get a photo off my phone |
| 02:46 | < Mantisking> | So I've been mucking about with my T.U.R.D. bots lately and I've got three squads in different stages of progress. |
| 02:48 | < RookMobile> | No. 2 Company, B.O.W.E.L. Platoon. |
| 02:49 | < RookMobile> | H.Q. Squad "Porceline Throne" |
| 02:49 | < RookMobile> | Recon Squad "SBD" |
| 02:50 | < RookMobile> | Support Squad "Courtesy Flush" |
| 02:51 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think I am going to take a break before I get into narrating and play some splatoon |
| 02:51 | < RookMobile> | I have no apology severe enough for this situation. |
| 03:01 | < Mantisking> | I'm sure something will float to the surface. |
| 03:03 | < RookMobile> | My imagination certainly crapped out, t |
| 03:03 | < RookMobile> | On a related note, i snooped around brickarms' site today. |
| 03:04 | < RookMobile> | The most interesting things the sell are two tiny accessories available in bulk. |
| 03:05 | < RookMobile> | The 'monopod' is basically astubby version of a claw-to-rod piece. |
| 03:05 | < RookMobile> | Very compact. |
| 03:06 | < RookMobile> | The "universal" clip is a no frills, extremely compact clip-to-clip piece. No frils. |
| 03:06 | < RookMobile> | I said that twice. |
| 03:08 | < RookMobile> | Both available at .25/piece, in three colors. |
| 03:08 | < RookMobile> | Might be worth it. |
| 03:13 | < RookMobile> | I was also intrigued by the central piece of their "tripod" assembly, three shaft-like sections centered around a hole. |
| 03:14 | < RookMobile> | http://www.brickmania.com/brickarms-m2-tripod/ |
| 03:15 | < RookMobile> | Since I can't describe it well. It's pricey though. |
| 03:18 | < RookMobile> | http://www.brickmania.com/brickarms-universal-clips-u-clip/ while I'm here. |
| 03:19 | < RookMobile> | http://www.brickmania.com/brickarms-monopod/ |
| 03:20 | < RookMobile> | I could see those u-clips making excellent knees. |
| 03:23 | < Shades_Corvid> | and back, my wrist had enough of games. |
| 03:25 | < RookMobile> | Do you like Devil May Cry, Shades? |
| 03:26 | < Shades_Corvid> | Only paid the first one really, maybe the second one. Enjoy Bayonette if you over look the whole eye candy, woman can't bend that way thing. |
| 03:27 | < RookMobile> | Ah. |
| 03:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | You can draw a lot of similiariates in the mechanics which is why I mention it but it is the same company after all. |
| 03:28 | < RookMobile> | They're the same genre, character action. |
| 03:28 | < Shades_Corvid> | but I certainly like the character a lot more in Bay. Anyways, why you ask? |
| 03:29 | < RookMobile> | A friend of mine is streaming the special edition missions of DMC4 where you play as other characters. Would link you to it if you were interested |
| 03:32 | < Shades_Corvid> | Having to much fun with these Frame Cards. |
| 03:35 | < RookMobile> | Fair enough. If you ever feel the need to waste copious amounts of time doing notning at all productive, there's almost always something worth watching here: http://www.vgz.cx |
| 03:48 | < Shades_Corvid> | Going to bed, will try to be on here tomorrow. |

| 04:01 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. So BrickLink lists a 1500-piece Lego box in the vein of the Classic sets linked earlier; it's supposedly from 2015 but not on the Lego website, so I suppose it's not out yet? Or only out in Europe or something? |
| 04:02 | < Mantisking> | I've used the U-Clips and Monopods before. https://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/9542168715/in/dateposted/ |

| 21:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | Boo |
| 22:56 | < Mantisking> | Boo? |
| 22:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | Hey! |
| 23:00 | < Mantisking> | Hello. |
| 23:01 | < Shades_Corvid> | What is going on? |
| 23:02 | < Mantisking> | Not much. Just a lazy Sunday. |
| 23:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am about to set up an email list for the 'test audience' for the MF0 vid series then write the scripts so far into Google Drive to share with said audience. |
| 23:04 | < Shades_Corvid> | I need to add a search bar to the blog... |
| 23:05 | < Mantisking> | Should be available in the "Design" section. |
| 23:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | thanks |
| 23:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | was also going to email you. When would be some good days/times to do the "Road to PAX East" Google on Air. Also do you want in in the test audience? |
| 23:09 | < Mantisking> | Tuesdays are my only real free evening. |
| 23:09 | < Mantisking> | And sure, I'd like in on the test audience. |
| 23:11 | < Mantisking> | Ugh, I really hate it when people spam the Flickr group. |
| 23:12 | < Shades_Corvid> | Like a service? |
| 23:13 | < Mantisking> | Nah, just stuff that doesn't belong. |
| 23:13 | < Shades_Corvid> | oh, alright |
| 23:14 | < Shades_Corvid> | OH, posted the vid I was working on this morning. |
| 23:14 | < Mantisking> | I've been watching it on and off. |
| 23:15 | < Shades_Corvid> | It sort of crappy :P but lessons learned and such. Hopefully the next one will be much better |
| 23:20 | < Mantisking> | The first one's always a learning experience. |
| 23:32 | < Mantisking> | AFK. |
