Start of #Exalted buffer: Sun Oct 25 21:43:41 2009 [17:20:30] * Alt-Eisen (Rook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #Exalted [17:25:00] Hey AE [17:25:02] Guess who's here [17:25:10] Who? [17:25:10] Hi AE. [17:25:16] surprise! [17:25:19] Yay! [17:25:45] just out of curiousity, do you have my sheet? I don't have it today. >_> [17:26:34] who're you again? [17:26:53] Kaori? [17:27:01] echo [17:27:05] ah [17:27:09] just a sec [17:28:28] When's the projected start time? [17:28:41] well about a half hour [17:29:01] * Senranda (senrnada@CPE00222d1878a1-CM00222d18789d.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #Exalted [17:29:09] oops. closed for some reason. >_> [17:29:25] * Demota nods [17:29:38] * Il_Dice is now known as Fuuko [17:33:30] * Adyen (senrnada@CPE00222d1878a1-CM00222d18789d.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [17:33:33] * Senranda is now known as Adyen [17:35:41] 1d20 [17:35:42] Demota rolls 1D20: 17 [17:43:43] Hooray, back from living dead practice [17:43:50] Hey [17:43:54] That was a long time [17:43:57] How did it go? [17:45:19] Pretty good [17:45:21] I guess [17:45:52] The stuff I'm doing and the stuff the actors are doing intersect in weird, quasi-mystic ways where I just kinda have to line up with what's happening at the right time [17:46:08] I'm getting used to the idea what the zombie panics are more thematic than antithematic [17:46:36] Like, when the humans start to fight, the zombies start trying to get in. But when the humans are having quiet moments the zombies just have to fuck off and do something else [17:46:55] huh [17:48:41] What else do zombies do while they're waiting for humans to start to fight? [17:49:28] We kind of mill around, pound on things, get distracted by bright lights [17:52:48] Oh, also, I went to Cracker Barrell for dinner and I saw a guy order chicken with four sides of dumplings :psyduck: [17:54:04] * Demota is now known as Natsumi [17:54:09] Hopping into #AEMC [17:54:12] Wow. Weird. [17:54:23] I've heard of Cracker Barrel, but I don't think I've ever seen one. [17:54:36] Like, the chicken and dumplings comes with three sides and he subbed all three for more dumplings [17:54:40] I don't think I"ve ever seen a dumpling either, unless you count east Asian ones. [17:54:49] They're realy good food. Or at least, I like it [17:55:06] It's southern cooking, so it's a lot of deep fried stuff with gravy and heavy carbs [17:55:47] Fascinating. [17:55:48] Jamaican cuisine [17:55:48] Dumplings or, as Jamaicans say, dumplin,[citation needed] come in two forms in Jamaica. These are fry dumplin (fried) and bwoil dumplin (boiled).[citation needed] [17:56:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpling#Jamaican_cuisine [17:56:11] And I mean a *LOT*, since for my meal, I got chicken fried steak with three sides, a corn muffin, and a biscuit. It'd be pretty grotesque if I didn't like it so much [17:56:23] * Natsumi nods [17:56:36] (And it was only like $9.50) [17:57:32] I've been to cracker barrel once [17:57:43] It is really good food and huge portions [17:58:03] I try to go there like once or twice a year [17:58:10] I think any more is just asking for trouble [17:58:41] heh [17:58:48] According to the cracker barrel site, there are zero cracker barrels within 200 miles. [17:59:05] aw [17:59:14] That's too bad [17:59:58] I kinda see it as being to Real America what the Hard Rock Cafe is to rock and roll. Like, it's almost a southern theme restaurant [18:00:30] * Natsumi nods [18:00:35] Bizarrely friendly staff, big portions of fatty food, and country music being played outside and all that stuff. It's an interesting experience [18:00:35] everyone who's pln gt nto #AEMC [18:00:45] So it's got like, burning crosses and confederate flags? [18:01:26] I sort of figured Hard Rock Cafe was about the 50s. :( [18:01:29] It's got ads for old soda. :| [18:01:41] Actually, a restaurant about the bad side of the 50s would be interesting. [18:02:13] I think a theme restaurant about the bad side of anything would probably be more valid as an artistic statement than a eatery [18:02:13] ADYEN [18:02:17] ADYEN ADYEN ADYEN [18:02:18] Yeah. [18:02:24] Though I kinda want to make La Lune at some point [18:02:27] * Adyen is now known as Echo [18:02:41] It was my high-class exclusive astronaut food restaurant [18:02:41] http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/4505/Tsundere+Cafe.html [18:03:08] I think a tsundere cafe is just a pussified version of Dick's Last Resort [18:03:19] * Yon is now known as Kaori [18:03:27] Hm [18:03:31] AE: http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/aemc [18:04:03] (Dick's Last Resort is a theme restaurant where the theme is 'a shitty restaurant') [18:04:16] There's a place in florida that has 2-day hands-on stunt driving sessions, for $800 if you supply your own car, or $1200 + fuel if you use one of theirs. [18:04:40] Like, they serve the food in buckets, if you ask for anything the staff throws it at you, and that kind of thing [18:05:08] hahaha [18:07:02] They've had professional drivers in a bunch of movies, like Transporter 2, 2Fast2Furious (I feel like such a douche even typing that), and Talladega Nights [18:07:20] ... actually, what's IN a non-Chinese dumpling, anyway? [18:08:02] dodge roll please? [18:08:06] Sure [18:08:22] ... shoot. Window closed. ONe sec [18:08:55] http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/october/tier10paladin.jpg :psypop: [18:08:56] 2d6-2 [18:08:56] Natsumi rolls 2D6-2: 3 6 -2 = 7 [18:09:00] versus my ACV attack number. Help me with combat since apparently I've been doing it wrong all this time [18:09:15] 2d6 [18:09:15] Alt-Eisen rolls 2D6: 2 3 = 5 [18:09:18] Roll 2d6 and subtract the skill being used. [18:09:24] And remember the specialty [18:09:57] well it beat the ACV number by 1 [18:10:24] I beat my defense roll by 1. [18:10:27] So it's a tie. [18:10:40] I... don't remmeber what happens in a tie. ^^; [18:10:51] which goes to the defender if I remember the book [18:10:52] Defender wins, I think [18:11:25] * Natsumi nods [18:11:30] Okay, initiatives? [18:11:41] k, lemme figure that out [18:11:54] It's 1d6+ your CV. Or was it 2d6? [18:12:35] 1 dice + combat value [18:12:53] 1d6+10 [18:12:53] Natsumi rolls 1D6+10: 4 +10 = 14 [18:12:53] attack CV [18:12:56] 1d6+4 [18:12:56] Echo rolls 1D6+4: 6 +4 = 10 [18:13:09] 1d6+6 [18:13:09] Alt-Eisen rolls 1D6+6: 6 +6 = 12 [18:13:27] 1d6+6 [18:13:27] Kaori rolls 1D6+6: 1 +6 = 7 [18:14:55] so should I give the action to Echo since Vampir and Natsumi already acted? [18:15:15] omg. I'm watching Umineko no Naku Koro ni ep6. [18:15:33] There's a touhou band IN THE EPISODE. [18:15:50] Or rather, characters dressed up as touhou characters. [18:16:21] hallo!?! [18:16:48] Hi. [18:16:52] You're the GM, it's your call. [18:16:53] Sure, go ahead [18:16:55] Eh. I'll just spend my turn being bewildered and hope Bunny has a weapon or something? [18:17:03] Okay. Echo's action [18:17:05] Got a screencap of the Touhou band? [18:17:11] post it [18:17:24] http://www.lovelyanime.com/umineko-no-naku-koro-ni-episode-06/ Not my computer. [18:17:32] What's the time mark? [18:18:04] Time Mark? [18:18:12] I'm asking Adyen [18:18:15] ah [18:18:39] 17-ish [18:19:01] What is Echo doing? [18:19:05] AE: Here's how it usually goes. [18:19:05] Huh. The Rogue Trader book mentions that for clothing and jewelry, there's no upper limit on what you can spend. [18:19:11] We state an action in this channel. [18:19:22] Then we resolve the action before describing [18:19:26] ah k [18:19:36] I kind of want to play a rogue trader character based on Henry Hatsworth trying to get a Unique outfit [18:19:40] well Vampir isn't attacking her so she can act as such [18:19:45] Huh [18:19:50] Echo's just back-peddling and hoping Bunny has an answer. [18:19:59] Apparently Fantasy Flight Games produced a new DnD movie? [18:20:06] Sort of. [18:20:08] Midnight. [18:20:09] Bunny said something [18:20:19] Charles: Hahaha, that'd be great [18:20:30] Well yeah, it's their own campaign setting, but it comes with a DnD 4e adventure [18:21:08] Midnight is a conceptual followup to Twilight confirm/deny [18:21:39] Oh man, I wonder what Bunny's gonna say about the monster. [18:21:41] So ya, I'll just give Bunny the chance to do his stuff since we don't have any equipment... [18:21:43] It's weak against bufu? [18:21:53] Wind attacks won't work against this one? [18:22:31] meanwhile, Kaori can take her action [18:23:56] [casts Analyze] [18:24:01] err [18:24:05] [casts Scan] [18:24:07] :P [18:24:39] Kaori's turn over? [18:24:48] is it? [18:25:13] I also noticed something kinda shitty in Rogue Trader [18:25:23] Dunno [18:25:30] One of the traits a weapon can have is Customized, which halves its reload time. [18:25:30] Yeah, not attempting to fight. [18:25:34] okay [18:25:35] This isn't a customization [18:25:45] ... weird [18:25:46] Back to Natsumi then [18:25:57] Like, it's a trait with no mention of how to get it, and not something you can buy [18:26:05] Donna run up and attack it [18:26:11] *not [18:26:21] I love how they came up with "Storm" just for the Storm Bolter [18:26:35] Yeah [18:26:35] 2d6-2 [18:26:35] Natsumi rolls 2D6-2: 6 5 -2 = 9 [18:26:36] 2d6-2 [18:26:36] Natsumi rolls 2D6-2: 4 3 -2 = 5 [18:26:37] 2d6-2 [18:26:38] Natsumi rolls 2D6-2: 3 6 -2 = 7 [18:26:42] I guess it's so you can apply it to other things [18:26:49] why three times? [18:26:57] Oh, it should be four. [18:26:57] Like an ork nailing two shootas together to make a Storm Shoota [18:26:59] Extra attacks [18:27:01] 2d6-2 [18:27:02] Natsumi rolls 2D6-2: 2 1 -2 = 1 [18:27:10] hahaha [18:27:25] lemme check the book [18:27:27] That last one's a crit success. [18:27:54] I don't remember if crits can be defended against, but this round, I'll need a defenes roll, a defense at +2 penatly, a defense at +4 penalty, then possibyl a defense at +6 penalty. [18:28:08] rolling defense [18:28:12] Unless the monster has extra attacks as well [18:28:21] 2d6 [18:28:21] Alt-Eisen rolls 2D6: 5 3 = 8 [18:28:24] 2d6+2 [18:28:24] Alt-Eisen rolls 2D6+2: 4 2 +2 = 8 [18:28:28] in which case it only need the penalties over the amount of attacks it doesn't have. [18:28:28] I guess it's also within the realm of things rogue traders can do to get some Admechs to design him a custom storm plasma gun or something [18:28:29] 2d6+4 [18:28:29] Alt-Eisen rolls 2D6+4: 2 3 +4 = 9 [18:28:33] 2d6+6 [18:28:34] Alt-Eisen rolls 2D6+6: 2 6 +6 = 14 [18:28:41] miss miss miss miss [18:28:50] meaning you hit hit hit hit [18:28:57] HYPER COMBO!! [18:28:58] Rolling for the crit damage [18:28:59] 1d6 [18:29:00] Natsumi rolls 1D6: 5 [18:29:17] Each hit does 10 points of damage. Except the crit. I'm not sure how much that does [18:29:29] triple [18:29:55] Alright, so 60 points total? [18:29:58] yeah [18:30:37] (Also, I think it's interesting how, unless I'm missing something, psykers can use their powers at half strength and never face perils of the warp) [18:31:02] It's probably how eldar seers do so much seering without a demon exploding out of their skull [18:31:21] post the attack success [18:32:22] Huh. [18:32:23] Yeah. [18:34:28] * Echo spittakes. "Vampire Card Installed"??? That sounds like an RPG thing. [18:34:52] Well we are in a RPG :P [18:34:58] I think we need a Megaman fanfare here. [18:37:21] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6wRkzCW5qI&feature=player_embedded# This is pretty good [18:37:36] Ooooh [18:48:11] if this were an anime, now would be a good time to cut to see what the badguys are doing but since its not, we shall continue with the PCs :P [18:55:26] bleah, I hope it doesn't feel like I'm overusing Bunny. I just want him to be useful [18:55:42] Nah... [18:55:57] It's just that we don't have any equipment to do anything other than Bunny anyways. [18:56:20] It's fine [18:56:30] Bunny's a multitool ^^; [18:56:46] Hahhaah [18:56:47] # [18:56:48] I can’t even come up with a pithy way to sum up the story of the boy who we thought was trapped in a balloon, but actually wasn’t, and it turns out the family has a history of grabbing the spotlight anyway. [18:56:48] Question: wasn’t this, more than anything, a job for Superman? Seriously – what element of the U.S. emergency response infrastructure could deal with rescuing a young boy from a Mylar balloon other than “human with VTOL capability”? [18:57:11] hahaha [18:57:36] The best part would've been Superman scolding the parents afterwards. :V [18:57:43] Hahahah [18:57:55] hahhaa [18:58:08] Oh, the mom finally confessed it was a hoax [18:58:18] It was a damn setup for a retarded reality TV pitch [19:01:33] Yeah [19:02:16] Please tell me there's going to be some sort of legal action against them. [19:02:22] Huh, I just realized, today, that Night of the Living Dead, especialy in its play form, has a *hell* of a ghost ship moment [19:02:28] Sailor Moon monsters suck versus Real Fighters, I'm noticing [19:02:30] They're gearing up for legal action [19:02:48] Because for most of the play, they just go "Man, there's people all going crazy and mutering peope" [19:02:49] though it's not much of an issue here cept that fights will be short [19:02:56] I'm okay with short fights [19:03:11] And then the TV broadcast is all "They're the living dead!" and everyone's all shocked [19:03:23] Huh [19:04:25] I'm kind of glad that Overthinking It added the idea of the ghost ship moment to my movie vocabulary [19:04:39] Or overall narrative vocabulary [19:05:38] Yeah [19:05:47] http://www.destructoid.com/more-no-more-heroes-2-heroes-and-secret-weirdos-153064.phtml Well, looks like the game isnt' even out yet and it's already totally bizarre [19:06:22] Hahaha [19:06:29] This is a surprise how? :V [19:06:52] I also loved their description of the ghost ship moment on the podcast [19:08:16] "So you start off, and there are weird noises, and people start disappearing and they don't think anything's up. Then they find dead bodies and stuff starts moving around on its own, and they think things are a little strange. And they hear moaning. And finally, they open a door and there's a pool full of blood and alligators and a dead pirate with a skeletal bird on his shoulder, [19:08:22] I love Travis' expression in the shots with the severed head. [19:08:38] And finally they realize... This ship is a GHOST SHIP." [19:08:44] He just doesn't know what the fuck. [19:09:36] Isn't that how Travis usually looks anyway/ [19:10:18] I am particularly proud of this exchange. [19:10:23] [19:07:21] [screen] "Well from the data readout, I'm seeing you found the ground zero of that meteor that passed us" [19:10:23] [19:08:33] Yep [19:10:23] [19:08:41] We found the HELL out of it. [19:10:23] [19:08:53] [screen] "...and you had a close encounter" [19:10:23] [19:09:55] I dunno if I'd call it close. I think I was definitely the winner. [19:10:53] hahaha [19:12:48] http://www.cracked.com/video_17618_black-eyed-peas-have-officially-written-worst-song-ever.html Hahahaha [19:12:52] Hahahahah [19:15:04] hahahah oh man that video's good [19:15:29] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-24-129-21-122.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:17:18] http://www.cracked.com/photoshop_16_20-websites-from-before-internet-was-invented_p20 Hahahahahaha [19:17:36] I really wish they'd abandon that retarded click menu [19:17:55] My best guess is that it only exists to get more ad clickthroughs [19:18:04] Yeah [19:20:07] Oh, Charles, did you see the Rogue Trader WTFD&D? [19:20:21] Actually, Nova, you might like it too [19:20:52] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-24-129-21-122.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [19:21:38] I did, yeah [19:21:40] Hhahahah http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/543606/apron-breasts-cleavage-eyes_closed-glasses-hairban * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [19:22:05] hahahh what [19:22:23] I don't get it [19:29:19] Hahahaha, I like the new title for the "Questions you can't Google or Thottbot" thread: "Questions you can't Google, Thottbot, WoWwiki, Wowhead, or MMOChampion" [19:29:38] hahaha [19:31:51] http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/ultimate/ultimatespage4.jpg Hahahahahah [19:32:32] hahhahhahaha what [19:33:51] http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/ultimate/ultimatespage6.jpg Aaaahahahahah [19:38:52] I love the fact that they completely forgot that Ultimate Wasp is asian. [19:41:20] this is going slow. I'm sorry :( [19:42:01] No prob [19:42:02] No worries. I am far less impatient than my character is. :V [19:42:09] Same. [19:42:46] I was hoping to skip ahead to the next day but if you guys wanna RP more it's okay [19:43:14] Up to you guys [19:43:21] Go ahead. Typing on this laptop is half a pain. [19:44:28] * Kaori facepalms. "They also forgot that Thor doesn't have a secret id in the Ultiverse, he's just the Mighty Fucking Thor at all times." [19:44:39] Wow [19:46:42] *Knock knock knock* Stimpy! Go answer the flap! [19:50:22] I mean, Ultimate Hippy Thor's whole thing is that he basically came down from fucking Asgard and told people that he's a fucking god and he's here to help out, and most people didn't believe him but he DOES have superpowers and he's really charismatic and shit so he's got this following who believe him and almost worship him but not quite because it's kind of hard to worship a guy when he's having a beer with you even if he can drin [19:50:41] And then Loeb gets the comic and he's 616 Thor With a Beard. [19:50:54] he's having a beer with you even if he can drin [19:51:02] drink you under the table. [19:51:05] geez [19:51:09] Did they ever evernually fix that? [19:51:34] Also they changed his hammer to the oldschool one instead of the sweet sci-fi looking one. [19:51:58] ugh [19:52:01] Dunno, I think the new run WITHOUT Loeb might have started. [19:52:12] But I'm not sure. Maybe it's still upcoming. [19:52:22] Maybe Loeb succeeded in killing the entire line. :V [19:53:31] :( [19:54:15] Oh, hahahah, I just realized what Bunny's referring to. [19:54:27] COCKBLOCK TWIN POWERS...ACTIVATE! [19:54:48] o.O [19:56:27] Look, you can't tell me Ail and Ann don't resemble the Wonder Twins at least in passing. [19:56:51] yes [19:59:07] shame Bunny isn't much of a comedian or he'd be saying they could be hideous alien monsters wearing human skins [20:00:09] http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/ultimate/ultimates2page6.jpg Hahahahaha [20:01:53] http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/ultimate/ultimates2page7.jpg Oh this is just BRILLIANT. [20:10:42] I keep reading cabaloids as Cableoids. This leads to hilarious mental images. [20:11:05] o.O [20:11:33] hahahah [20:11:38] "How can you tell that's really a Cableoid?" "Because it's glowing eye keeps switching sides!" [20:12:03] hahahahahahahahaha [20:16:54] Why the fuck does Ultimate Jamie Madrox look so much like Hugo Weaving? [20:17:04] Are they TRYING to get people to make Agent Smith jokes? [20:17:19] o.o [20:18:01] Mister Anderson [20:18:58] How are we doing? [20:20:16] I wanna end this at 9pm PST if possible [20:21:03] That' sifne [20:21:07] I'm still wiiiide awake [20:21:26] I'm okay [20:22:36] * Echo shrugs [20:24:45] by now the PCs are probably wondering how Bunny can fit all those mechanical arms and devices inside his body. He's basically Inspector Gadget's head :P [20:25:32] http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/ultimate/ultimates3page1.jpg Hahahahhaha, BRILLIANT [20:27:22] hahahah [20:29:47] Hhahaha "Nothing much happened yesterday. I mean, it was just a cover, a recap page and Wolverine talking. That’s how 40% of Marvel’s comics start out these days. Anywho, here’s some more of Wolverine talking."
