Session Start: Mon May 03 00:00:00 2010 Session Ident: #Exalted 01[17:10:32] We ready to play soon? 03[17:12:38] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [17:13:51] I think so, status check? [17:14:21] Also, the zerg unit tech tree is really, really interesting. I feel like the factions are even more distinct than SC1 01[17:14:24] Active 01[17:14:27] Oh, awesome 03[17:14:42] * Yon (dl@wnpgmb1308w-ad04-231-178.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Exalted [17:15:07] Basically, every zerg unit aside from queens are hatched at hatcheries. Tiers are restricted by your highest hive levels 01[17:15:18] Hey Yon [17:15:22] Re. [17:15:45] So as long as you have a built-up core base, your distant bases are going to be at full tech [17:16:09] And the Nydus Canals allow you to spawn Nydus Worms anywhere you have sight to 01[17:16:14] Nice [17:16:39] So you can create fronts by having one canal at your home base, and then shooting out worms to let you spit guys anywhere [17:18:11] I know the zerg were like that before in terms of their tech tree, but now they really are just insanely mobile [17:18:33] I'm curious how the Protoss have changed since SC1 01[17:19:10] Yeah 03[17:19:16] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:20:48] like, in my mind, the main difference between how the Terrans and Zerg feel, aside from their production style being totally different, is that terrans are much more tied to their base in terms of their force projection [17:21:31] If the terrans are launching a major offensive, chances are it's coming from some place they've built up a lot [17:21:52] If the zerg launch a major offensive, it can come from any one of their side-bases [17:22:08] Or, once they get a nidus canal up, basically anywhere at all 01[17:23:25] Nova said he has to go to sleep early, so we should start early. :( [17:23:33] Also, it strikes me as pretty interesting that a lot of stuff doesn't exist anymore 01[17:23:40] Like normal medics? [17:23:56] Or Firebats or Vultures or Goliaths [17:24:10] They got rid of a lot of the most iconic terran units, which is interesting [17:25:58] PROTOSS [17:25:58] Cybernetics Core [17:25:58] Warp Gate research time increased from 60 seconds to 140 seconds. [17:26:09] That's an interesting balance change. [17:26:29] "This thing is unbalanced. What we need to do it make it take 133% longer 01[17:29:27] Huh [17:32:17] I'm sort of iffy about running tonight, since I'm already really tired, and Matt and Flare aren't here 01[17:35:55] Oh. Okay. 01[17:36:09] ahhha 01[17:36:10] Oh my god. One of my turbo nerd gaming buddies was ecstatic about this game and he inflicted it on us for several sessions. That fucking game. It's pretty much fanfic Final Fantasy squeezed through a Rolemaster sieve. It's beyond unplayable. 01[17:36:10] Here's how you make a 'basic' attack in Anima. Attacker and defender roll d100, adding to their attack and defense values. (possibly adding a pair of 3 digit numbers twice) Then they take the difference of that roll and reference a chart to determine what happens according to the defender's armor value. [17:36:19] I might do something if anyone else speaks up, but I dunno [17:36:20] Hahahahha [17:39:28] Huh. X-Crawl had world info outside of the sport stuff 01[17:40:21] Yeah. 01[17:40:29] There was like an American Empire or something, I dunno 01[17:40:35] CCD ran a game of it for a whhile [17:41:15] Yeah, ruled by Emperor Ronald I [17:41:28] And the civil war was fought between surface dwellers and the underdark [17:41:39] (I wonder if it was still over slavery) 01[17:42:15] huh [17:42:17] XCrawl needs to be remade for 4e 01[17:42:59] Yeah 02[17:52:24] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-250-112.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 03[17:57:31] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-250-112.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [17:57:57] Hahahah [17:57:58] http://img.waffleimages.com/5024ccacf32dd4c6aec9e77cf4a052b716ac7915/gs20100503.gif 01[18:00:13] aaaa 01[18:08:33] Heeeeeeeey, we could do something at Harborhead while Matt's out [18:09:02] The flashback thing? That's a dickload of work. 01[18:10:44] True [18:11:05] Especially when I'm tired [18:11:29] OOoooh. [18:11:36] Possible permanent Realism Versus. :D :D :D [18:11:54] I had thought the mutations were gonna be persistant and not go away [18:13:46] Aaaaaand done with Gun x Sword. Holy shit I seriously marathoned the last ten episodes in two days 01[18:15:01] Oh, nice 01[18:19:51] I guess we can do Odal some other time. 03[18:19:54] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [18:20:22] Sorry, Dem. Hardly anyone showed up and I'm passing out :( 01[18:29:18] Hey Nova, Yon, wanna play Dawn of War? [18:29:50] Sure, do you want to buy me a copy? :| 01[18:30:44] :( 01[18:35:32] Actually, you know what? You've had it rough lately, I haven't felt like getting that PSP or PS3 particularly quickly, and I just got this brand new job. Yes. Yes, I do. 01[18:35:58] If you wanna pay me back, take your time. 01[18:36:02] Get downloading. 06[18:36:20] * Yon blinks. "Wow, thanks!" [18:36:55] :3 01[18:37:39] Trauma Team and Mario Galaxy 2 are coming out this month, and presumably at least one D&D book, but without "PLAYSTATION 3 RIGHT NOW" hovering over my head, those don't seem like such huge spendings. [18:38:23] Seriously, thank you so much Dem. :aaaaa: 01[18:38:24] Though I do kinda want to get a PS3 before the "Online stuff requires sales tax in California" thing takes effect [18:39:00] Sales tax on online stuff? Eeeeeeeeeewwwwww [18:39:06] I thought that *already* took effect. [18:39:30] I know the Use Tax California has is retarded as hell and I hope whoever made it dies in a fire. 01[18:39:52] Hm. If I hold off on Trauma Team, I might be able to squeeze the PS3 in after all 01[18:40:21] Yon: How long til the download finishes on your fancy pants new computer? [18:40:41] Let's see [18:41:11] Steam isn't giving me a proper estimate, but... [18:41:16] When I read that, I think of the Fancy Pants Adventure. That stuff is awesome 01[18:42:08] What is a Fancy Pants Adventure? Session Close: Tue May 04 00:00:01 2010
