Start of #Exalted buffer: Sun Aug 23 08:57:41 2009 b [17:35:40] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-75-17-59-245.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Exalted [17:35:56] * Cheeseball is now known as Berny [17:35:59] Hey Maha. :3 [17:36:01] What's up? [17:36:06] Hello. :3 [17:36:09] Nothing much. [17:36:12] Just being sleepy. [17:36:16] * Demota nods. :/ [17:36:21] Just 2 hours of sleep or so, yeah? :/ [17:36:54] Yeah, something like that. Maybe less. [17:36:55] Hey, Maha [17:36:59] Heya, Cha. [17:37:06] Is Mage coming along? :D [17:37:19] Yep! Hopefully ready to start by next Saturday [17:37:19] It's supposed to run next Sat. [17:37:27] Woot. [17:37:36] I'm still kind of stuck on the nimbus thing for my dude. [17:37:39] I was curious about what you wanted out of the game, and if you have any plot hooks in mind past the thief thing [17:37:43] Can't think of a good one. [17:37:46] Yeah, that seems to be a sticking point [17:37:48] Oh, plot hooks. Hmm. [17:38:01] * Berny thinks. [17:38:09] How important is it to have a Nimbus 2000 by the first session? [17:38:11] er [17:38:13] Nimbus [17:38:14] >_< [17:38:18] XD [17:38:29] Oooh, this explains it. Geist was pretty oblique on the point, but apparently destroying a ghost's anchors destroys the ghost, and resolving them in a way in line with the ghost's wishes lets it pass on [17:38:37] I had to check the WOD rulebook to figure this out [17:38:39] huh [17:39:07] Dem: Depends on how much you use magic, I guess. It's not a vital part of your character, but it's kind of like not deciding on your character's hair color or style of clothing [17:39:45] Or, rather, destroying its anchors condemns it to the underworld [17:39:54] Which destruction may be preferable to [17:39:56] Cha> I'm not sure I've come up with any specific plot hooks, except that her master dude is sort of harsh and has some shady methods. [17:40:01] * Kentaro nods [17:40:17] She's sort of claustrophobic, if that helps any. [17:40:21] * Kentaro nods [17:40:23] Oh! [17:40:55] I was curious what your character thinks of the arcane traditions of Mage society, considering that the group, just by merit of its composition, is breaking some of them. :V [17:41:08] She's probably sort of fuzzy on them at this point. [17:41:16] She's not the type who would be okay with stealing initially. [17:41:58] (Specifically, non-Free-Council mages believe that letting mortals know about magic makes magic weaker for everyone, and that keeping it a secret is very important as a result. And the group hangs around with two people who aren't mages) [17:42:06] * Kentaro nods. [17:42:32] The group as in the PC group? [17:42:42] Has her mentor coerced her into stealing anything her, or has she not had to face that mental degeneration roll yet? [17:42:43] Yeah [17:42:55] Dem's character has a sleepwalker retainer, and Yon's playing a sleepwalker [17:43:06] Hrm. [17:43:11] I'm good with whatever works out best for your overall plot. [17:43:11] Haversack. Should I... [17:43:15] (And Dem's character's retainer is a fantasy author, which is a potential timebomb) [17:43:21] Haha. [17:44:42] Well, it might lead to a more interesting conflict if she has to choose wether to cross that mental barrier or not ingame. [17:45:07] Ah, okay. We can do that. :3 [17:45:22] In that case, she's just been training for it and is pretty iffy on the whole actual theft part. [17:45:52] * Kentaro nods [17:46:17] I have a feeling that this is maybe a cabal that could swing Free Council pretty fast. :V [17:47:03] But given that she's sort of accepted her master as her only family-type of relationship now, I don't think she'd be that desperate to fight going through with stealing something if her training prepared her for it and her master insisted. [17:47:04] Hrm. [17:47:19] What about you, DH? [17:47:26] For a 'ignore resistance with your attacks' effect on these Gloves o' Piercing, is this solely melee or all attack methods? [17:47:31] I'm finishing Mauz. :P [17:47:38] What is the exact wording? [17:47:41] * Kentaro nods [17:47:54] Oh, that reminds me, I'm curious how she got involved with the cabal. [17:48:11] "Until the end of the encounter, your attacks ignore any resistance of 10 or lower." [17:48:18] Daily power. [17:48:24] Why would it be solely melee? [17:48:26] Generally, cabals form based on strong mutual interest and the people involved being able to stand each other. [17:48:26] Gloves of Piercing. [17:48:29] Oh, tell me more about the cabal. If this is something in the book, I haven't read it yet. :3 [17:48:31] Was just making sure! [17:48:50] Dem's character is still a fellow MIT student? [17:48:57] Yeah [17:49:07] Cabals are, like, the default mage social organization. Generally, a group of mages working towards a common goal and bound by friendship (Or at least strong mutual tolerance) [17:49:08] What about the other PCs? [17:49:54] Yon's character is a student at Emerson (A writing and broadcast school) who knows Dem's character through her retainer, and Adyen's character is a student teacher at MIT, I think [17:50:17] Bingo [17:50:34] How does the retainer relationship work, by the way? [17:51:18] What does your character actually study, Adyen? Student teachers are generally grad students, IIRC [17:51:29] Could be undergrad. :) [17:52:06] Student teachers, that is. [17:52:13] A retainer is generally a servant with limited autonomy. In Dem's character's case, her retainer's got more autonomy, but still goes out of her way to help her. [17:52:56] Are they mind controlled or anything like that? [17:52:57] There's kind of a quasi-romantic thing between them that's half girly bromance and half courtly love. [17:53:01] Sometimes they are. [17:53:02] Haha [17:53:17] It's not necessarily the case, though [17:53:24] And a sleepwalker is a mage that hasn't awakened yet? [17:53:34] Like, a homonculus or someone who's been thoroughly mindwhammied can be a retainer, but so can a butler [17:53:36] Kinda [17:53:48] He's actually doing political science, but majored off science and technology [17:54:15] They're people who can perceive magic without absolutely fucking it up, and more likely to awaken, but it's not guarenteed [17:54:25] Ah, okay. [17:54:36] (Normal people will cause paradox if they witness an obvious spell, and might cancel it out entirely) [17:55:02] * Yon is now known as Megumi [17:55:20] (orignally, I had wanted bio-related sciences, but since he's just normally forgetful now, I figured "screw it" [17:55:21] ) [17:55:25] Dem's retainer grew up in Chinatown, which in Boston, was both an absolute hellhole and an area where obvious magic could be freely used until very recently [17:55:29] Is there some kind of club that they might have all joined, or some kind of class that she might have with Dem's character, maybe? She's an anthropology student, I think. [17:56:03] And being someone able to witness magic, and seeing mages doing all kinds of bizarre shit that nobody else could see, she sort of turned to writing as a release. [17:56:23] * Berny nods. [17:56:28] I could just change it to a closer field, but I'm not sure what would tie into anthropology other than anthropology itself. [17:56:51] Adyen: Might be worth taking a look at what majors MIT offers [17:56:53] I think Dem's character is some sort of technical major, right? [17:57:08] Dem's character is taking a postgrad degree in theoretical physics, yeah [17:57:09] I'm actually surprised that MIT HAS antro. [17:57:11] Just Eri is anthropology, which may or may not have overlapping classes. [17:57:35] Ah. So we have one undergrad and two grad students? [17:57:40] I figure that even if they're not in classes together, they'd probably know each other by virtue of mage sight [17:57:49] Depending on what Adyen's character is, yeah [17:57:51] What does mage sight tell you again? Auras? [17:58:04] Among other things, I think [17:58:11] I know they have a tech related courses, and I'm sure they have political sciences... And I'm looking at a list right now, which does not show Anthropology as a course they offer. [17:58:12] Mages have slightly different auras than most [17:59:12] * Berny nods. [17:59:45] Since I was distracted before, thanks for all the work on Mari's sheet, Nova. [18:00:19] They have a department of anthropology. I was sceptical about PolSci, but that's listed on their website, too. [18:00:36] I think it's kinda laffo that half the group is going to MIT for things that have nohting to do with hard sciences. [18:00:53] hmm. Maybe Engineering and Material Sciences? I think that'll have courses overlapping with the others. [18:01:44] Or, I could just be part of classes that they overlap with anyways, since just because I'm teaching for one department it doesn't mean I'm IN that department due to my student teacher position. [18:01:52] I think it could be possible that Eri originally applied under a science major, than switched later because she couldn't take the stress along with everything else. [18:02:03] Or interest after meeting her master. [18:02:09] Maybe a little of both. [18:02:36] The anthropology focus is mostly because she has an interest in ancient civilizations and their artifacts now that she collects them. [18:03:16] * Kentaro nods [18:03:53] There, gear bought. Time to calculate shit and call it a day. [18:04:08] Okay, it looks like burglary is psychologically 'acceptable' at Wisdom 5. If you want to drop down to that and not risk freaking out when you do steal something, you can get 10 XP [18:04:25] (Though wisdom will be more expensive than that to buy up later if you change you mind) [18:04:56] Oh Dem, what time is it IG? [18:05:39] * Berny thinks. [18:06:05] I'll probably let her take the risk of freaking out and dealing with it. [18:06:10] Umm... lunch-ish, I think... ? [18:06:11] * Kentaro nods [18:06:16] On a weekend? [18:06:27] The downside of freaking out is that if you lose wisdom in play, you risk getting a derangement [18:06:37] So by the time you're cool wish stealing, you might have two. [18:06:46] (Though degeneration isn't guarenteed) [18:06:56] Yeah. Sunday [18:06:59] Hoo. [18:07:28] I guess we can say that her training/indoctrination by her mentor has worn down her moral standards, then? [18:07:44] What does that affect besides moral qualms? [18:08:20] Also 'derangement' is worse than it sounds. It's more like a personality tic until you get a bunch of them [18:08:31] Well, the lower your Wisdom, the harder it is to resist further degeneration [18:09:21] Basically, when you do something that counts as an act of hubris for your current level of wisdom, you roll a number of dice determined by your wisdom level [18:09:26] That's actually Izuki Church. [18:09:56] At level 7 (The starting point), you roll 4 dice looking for an 8 plus, making you statistically likely to succeed [18:10:09] At 5, you only roll 3, meaning that you're more likely to fail and slip further [18:11:10] When you hit 0, you're pretty much fucked. [18:11:11] What's considered an act of hubris? [18:12:21] It depends on your current level. At 7, for instance, the breaking point is cursing someone or petty theft. [18:13:16] At level 6, it's forcibly binding a sentient creature or spirit into a place or task, or grand theft. At level 5, it's magically transforming a human into a lesser animal or intentional mass property damage [18:17:01] Hmm. She'd definitely be a morally troubled by the thought of stealing, but I don't know if she'd freak out over it. [18:17:11] ((oops, remove that first a.) [18:17:37] Well, by 'freak out' I mostly meant, like, develop an aversion in the form of a derangement (Which might be something as simple as wanting to avoid the scene of the crime) [18:17:54] Emmy is talking about the Gonzo version isn't she. ._. [18:18:13] Ah, okay. That's pretty natural. [18:18:23] I guess I'll stick with it for the sake of being in-character. [18:18:28] Basically, the narrative form of morality rolls is that if you make the roll, you feel really bad about what you've done. If you don't make the roll, you've (consciously) rationalized it [18:18:45] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_x_Juliet [18:19:07] Oh, it's an animated one. [18:19:11] I've never heard of that. [18:19:38] You should be glad. [18:19:45] That bad, huh? :o [18:19:57] Man, fuck that show, it could've been SO good, but, well, Gonzo. [18:20:07] Let me quote: "very loosely based on William Shakespeare's classic play, Romeo and Juliet, along with numerous references and characters from other Shakespearian plays." [18:20:24] They can't make anything without it jumping off a cliff of pure fucking retarded at the end anymore. :| [18:20:40] Aw. [18:20:40] I prefer Kirk X Spock http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs44/f/2009/138/6/3/Kirk_x_Spock___kiss_by_Dostoevsky sMouse.jpg [18:20:57] Hahahaha [18:21:02] Actually, I might as well, and I'm straight. >_> [18:21:20] Wait, no. I'm les. [18:21:27] But a guy. So that's ok. [18:22:08] * Emmy is sexually confused by sexuality. [18:22:10] Maha: I'm confused. Are you gonna buy down Wisdom at chargen, or just let it ride and play it out IC? [18:23:00] Play it out IC. Sorry I was unclear. :) [18:23:08] * Kentaro nods [18:23:57] Oh here it is. The quote that will describe RxJ to you: She unwittingly falls in love with Romeo, which leads to several complications for her in the series. (Juliet in the Shakespearean version is almost forced and is somewhat enforced into a marriage to Prince Escalus's (who is not a tree) relative County Paris, not the other way around) [18:24:27] A tree??? [18:24:39] Yes, a tree. [18:25:13] Wow. [18:25:32] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/507832/-_-chibi-pudding-tatara_kogasa-touhou-umbrella Still loving this picture [18:25:42] Yeah :3 [18:26:00] Wait, who IS a tree? [18:26:07] See up until the bullshit with the magic tree it was actually a pretty nice show. Surprisingly classy for a Gonzo show, good visuals except for one episode, etc. (also hot blooded Juliet = hahahaahahha) [18:26:14] Magic tree? [18:26:29] But then it just goes LOL GONZO LOLOLOLOL for the last quarter of the show or so. [18:27:22] Also the show features a flamboyantly gay William Shakespeare as a supporting character. :V [18:28:24] Yum, pudding. :0 [18:28:29] :9, I mean. [18:29:44] Almost done. ;_; [18:29:48] I'm kinda tired and have to work the next day, so I think if I have to go to bed, my plan is for Kentaro to say he has to use the bathroom, then escape out the window to cut and run. :V [18:30:43] hahaha [18:30:58] Somehow that sounds like what he'd do. Just somehow. [18:31:14] new page on the wiki [18:31:15] http://exaltedsharn.wikidot.com/character-journals [18:31:16] You know, don't fight losing battles? [18:31:39] Haha, it does sound like something Kentaro would do. [18:31:39] Oh, neato [18:32:44] Aur-Journal. :| [18:33:59] Aurelis? [18:34:02] Didn't Emmy order already? [18:34:30] She did, the others didn't [18:36:25] I have no idea what is actually in French Onion soup. :toot: [18:36:49] Usually has a beef broth base. :) [18:37:17] heh [18:37:23] Oh, right, Megu wanted the MEAAATS [18:37:52] I like Kentaro [18:38:19] Yes, and is probably pretty lost on what this stuff actually is. :V [18:38:26] haha. [18:38:36] Kentaro probably wouldn't be able to pass as human if he wasn't so pretty. :V [18:38:39] Well, I remmeber steak tartare got mentioned. Which is basically raw ground beef. [18:38:48] With an egg [18:39:39] ...Huh. I just realized that Rocky Horror is kind of a reverse Changling story. [18:40:55] In that instead of being kidnapped by the fey and taken to arcadia and being terribly changed by the experience, the protagonists accidentally seek out a fey creature (Quite literally :V) in the mortal world and get horribly altered in the mortal world. [18:41:05] hahahaha [18:41:12] What is the plot, anyway/ [18:41:16] Hahaha [18:41:28] I never thought of it that way. [18:41:32] Dem> You haven't watched it? [18:42:00] Basically these two newly weds are driving home and get stuck in the rain, so they stop at this mad scientist's castle [18:42:09] Nope [18:42:16] Aw, you should. It's really funny. [18:42:21] And, at times, a tiny bit gory. [18:42:21] Welp, the Blizzcon closing ceremonies have started. This is going to be the weirdest concert ever. [18:42:29] Ozzy Osbourne? [18:42:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tatar-1.jpg [18:42:43] Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain opening for Ozzy. :psyduck: [18:42:47] hahaha [18:42:48] Hahaha [18:42:49] They then get involved in the mad scientist's creation of a speedo-clad sex monster, everyone fucks everyone else (except for the newlyweds fucking each other), and then the castle takes off into outer space, leaving everyone writhing on the ground in makeup and corsets [18:43:13] :psypop: [18:43:14] I want to eat steak tartare. [18:43:29] I dunno any place that cooks it. [18:43:32] ... prepares it? [18:43:33] It's worth seeing, but only if you go to a performance in a theater with a cast and all that [18:44:13] It's interesting, in that it was one of the first things to develop a cultural tradition of MSTing it, IIRC, except that over the last 20 or so years, the MSTing's become *incredibly* ritualized [18:44:40] * Demota nods [18:44:42] I've been to one of those showings on Halloween. It's pretty fun. :) [18:45:47] At least at the places I go. There are usually a few new lines every time I go down to cambridge, but there's also a lot of really old standards that're there for the sake of being there. Like, it's weird to think of that sort of thing having traditions, but certain callbacks (Like responding to the criminologist's lines) are pretty much a given. And actually still kinda funny if delivered right [18:46:37] I've never gone to one because my friends warned me about the virgin stuff. [18:46:58] ...aaaaand their first song is "Rogues do it from behind". :picard: [18:46:58] I can take a joke nowadays but I'd still rather not knowingly embarass myself. [18:47:18] Depending on where you go, it's pretty much voluntary, now [18:47:30] Full Body Cast in Boston just takes one volunteer from the audience [18:47:56] What virgin stuff? [18:48:01] Nova> You don't have to admit you're a virgin if you don't want to, though. [18:48:18] If it's your first time to one of those Rocky Horror shows, they make you do embarrassing stuff on stage. [18:48:35] Yeah. In Boston, I've seen stuff like dance-offs [18:48:42] Aaah [18:48:54] And then the winner gets a red balloon held between their legs as the guy playing Frank pops it with their teeth [18:49:18] I can't imagine being that close to a popping balloon. Those things unnerve me. [18:49:20] eugh [18:49:36] I think the world would be better off if balloons were just banned. [18:49:46] You hate latex balloons too? [18:49:47] They're an ecological disaster, they're hard to inflate, and they are noisy. [18:49:55] @_@ [18:49:58] Haha. [18:50:03] Hahaha, looking at the list of callbacks, I found this one I'd forgot: [18:50:03] Brad and Janet had both tasted... { "Frank's cock!" } forbidden fruit. { "same thing" } [18:50:05] Are latex balloons any better for the environment? [18:50:17] The use of the } bracket seems more appropriate now than ever. :V [18:50:24] Hhahahah [18:50:25] I think you're talking about the latex ones, anyway, Dem. [18:50:29] hahaha [18:52:08] It's a fun event. [18:52:44] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip68-11-220-87.br.br.cox.net) has joined #Exalted [18:52:45] Oi [18:53:08] Did Megumi just denied to having any problem with raw meat? [18:53:30] Yup. [18:53:51] damnit. was hoping to trick her otherwise! :P [18:54:19] Hey rusty, I put up character journals in case you want to record anything [18:54:39] http://exaltedsharn.wikidot.com/character-journals [18:55:11] I love rastafarian journalism [18:55:29] haha [18:55:31] Hi [18:55:31] http://www.big-metto.net/RP_Wiki/index.php?title=After_the_Flood/GalpagosLog [18:55:48] I have EXPERIENCE as a rastafarian journaling adventurer, [18:56:00] Hahahahaha, they're totally ragging on Activision. [18:56:04] hahah [18:56:12] Oh man, I love how he spells out his accent [18:56:18] Schilling Tony Hawk games between songs and stuff. [18:56:28] Hahaha. [18:56:28] hahaha [18:56:43] It's a lot easier to spell out your accent. [18:57:01] Character in question is a turtle-man for a pirates game [18:58:02] Dem beginnin' [18:58:05] I love it. [18:58:16] hahaha [18:58:29] hee [18:58:49] It's too bad IM-style shorthand doesn't exist in Eberron yet, or Aurora's journal would be entirely in that. [18:59:20] OMSF aun tk hr 2 da br| [18:59:52] Wow. I can't even read that, haha. [18:59:54] HAHAHAHA [19:00:14] OH MY SILVER FLAME aun take her to the barrel [19:00:24] (s'best I could do) [19:00:43] I just like OH MY SILVER FLAME. [19:01:42] It's a reference to absolutely indecipherable textspeak on 4chan. I think the original was "OMG he tk hr 2 da br|", which I interperted as "Oh my god he took her to the bar" but it's forever a mystery [19:01:59] I also made a template for the journals, basically just giving you a collapsible text block to organize entries with [19:02:14] Haha [19:02:23] Oh, wow. Collapsible? [19:02:26] Awesome [19:02:36] yeah take a look at Temper's journal [19:03:19] Mauz will take you to the bar. [19:03:24] And drink you under the table. [19:03:44] Temper will drink you under the table. [19:03:45] Argh grinding out statblocks. Where's a wikitemplate when you need it? [19:03:46] I just hope that you guys are ready to decipher what I'm saying IC. I'm not ditching the accent. [19:03:49] Well, yes. [19:03:52] Ahahahaha, in protest to the raised level cap, Level 80 changed their name. They managed to combine the Horde logo with the Artist Formerly Known as Prince symbol. :V [19:03:52] Temper's a roborg. [19:04:04] WARFORGED NOT ROBOTS [19:04:12] I said roBORG. :V [19:04:21] But fine, he's a Metal Hero. :3 [19:04:28] :3 [19:04:29] Hahaha [19:04:32] From SPAAAAokayfromsomemage'slab. [19:04:37] If he is a Metal Hero where can we find a Metal Monster? [19:04:43] Yon: Hahaha [19:04:49] The Anti-Rush Monster. [19:04:50] Rust. [19:04:54] Instead od rusting your gear? [19:05:00] Well Mauz is Flesh and Blood Hero, from some Lovecraftian Horror's Operating Table. [19:05:07] It drools on it and MORE METAL grows on it. [19:05:08] Yep. [19:05:26] That's where he comes from, you see. [19:05:45] Emmy's Soup: THe Soup that Anyone Can Edit [19:05:49] Mauz isn't actually a member of House Tharask. He was created piecemeal by Chryssak. [19:06:08] oops. [19:06:13] Mauz is pretty hardcore [19:06:18] What's his new class combo? [19:06:23] His dragonmark was grafted onto him, and it was a magical masterpiece to convince it that your artificially created body was the true owner. [19:06:26] He's still a Lock/Sorc. [19:06:34] Yeah, I don't think french restaurants sell Wikipedia Soup. :| [19:06:37] Starlock specifically. [19:06:42] Oh well. It's not like I'm eating Cthulhu. [19:06:44] Which sorc background did you go with? [19:06:46] And Wild Magic [19:06:48] Of course. [19:06:48] Oh, ADyen. DH. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3182334 [19:06:50] Yeah, that's a Chinese restaurant thing [19:06:54] I don't really like warlocks as strikers. [19:07:04] I don't think of him as a striker, really. [19:07:04] I played one, was sort of let down [19:07:17] Every time someone mentions the Starlock build I can't help but laugh. [19:07:18] Warlocks are the weakest damage dealers of strikers, yeah [19:07:19] They should have been what sorcs are [19:07:23] There's some mix of misdirection and movement. [19:07:27] Yon: I know :V [19:07:33] But not a LOT of damage. [19:07:38] But I'm okay with this. [19:07:47] * NovaSeaker nods. [19:07:50] Yeah, I'll be doing pretty steady damage [19:07:56] You took sacrifice to caphion right? [19:08:02] Hell yeah. [19:08:08] Fuckin awesome. [19:08:19] Expect to see Mauz coughing up blood a lot. :V [19:08:22] HP to spare? Never loose an encounter power from a failed attack roll! [19:08:29] haha [19:08:38] It's well-made, but it's up to Megumi to see if she likes it. [19:09:11] A lot of our characters are kind of mixing roles anyway, even apart from hybrid builds. [19:09:21] Yeah. [19:09:23] I'm not. [19:09:25] yeah [19:09:30] But yeah. [19:09:35] Mari is a quasi-striker defender. [19:09:38] TO add some raw oomph into his set. [19:09:38] I took almost 20 rituals [19:09:51] Huh, I just realized we don't have a Moros. [19:09:54] Mauz DOES have Acidic Implantation and Contagious Curse [19:09:59] Because those are just mean. :D [19:10:08] Our travels will be VERY easy. [19:10:13] At least this means if he has a sin-eater crossover he won't be treading on a necromaner's toes [19:10:50] We have a necromancer? [19:11:07] I meant in my Mage game [19:11:11] Ahh [19:11:24] You know I'm sorta interest to see how well a Summoning Wizard can be used as a basis for a necromancer class. [19:11:25] Moros are the path of mages that focus on Death and Matter magic [19:11:29] Oh, you guys are playing right now? [19:11:39] Huh? [19:11:40] Nah, just talking about it since the players are here [19:11:41] They're playing Dem's Youkai game [19:11:43] Ahh [19:12:24] Man, everyone lieks their meat raw except the lesbians. [19:13:44] Pop? [19:13:46] http://www.supermegacomics.com/index.php?i=186 God, this is my favorite Supermega comic [19:13:59] I need to catch up on my webcomics that don't have RSS feeds [19:14:25] Noting down rituals. [19:14:32] Eh. A lot of French steaks are pretty raw. [19:14:58] Ahahahaha, awesome, so there's this guy in the retail sucks thread who posts retarded emails from one of his higher up corporate overlords. The guy is completely incoherent and retarded and completely out of touch with reality. And now...their company's stock just went down the SHITTER and the emails are getting SO much funnier. [19:15:12] Hahaha [19:15:17] Hahaha [19:15:32] hahahahhha [19:15:43] Wher'es the retail sucks thread anyway, and is it more funny or is it more frustrating? [19:16:25] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3037439&pagenumber=144#pti18 usually more funny, but sometimes maddening. [19:17:19] Oh man... The Dead Space LP get funnier the worse off he is. [19:17:20] Hahahah what http://www.supermegacomics.com/index.php?i=278 [19:17:57] Great comments from the latest email - Stan, the CORPORATE OVERLORD, says in his latest email that august is nearing. Someone responds "What the fuck, August is almost over, is he a time traveller" "Oh god, time travelling in the month of august :gonk:" [19:18:21] ahhahah [19:18:24] Hahhahaha [19:19:03] Hahaha [19:19:07] http://www.supermegacomics.com/index.php?i=276 Hahahahah what [19:19:24] "MY INSTINCTS TELL ME LIFE SHOULDN'T BE SO HORRIBLE" [19:25:10] Oh, Maha, charles, they announced the next Sims expansion [19:25:14] And that is a great line [19:25:29] Sims Cataclysm? :V [19:25:54] haha [19:26:16] Sims 3 World Adventures [19:26:30] http://www.thesims3.com/game/ep1 [19:27:46] Hahhahaah, I love the last panel of this one http://www.supermegacomics.com/index.php?i=260 [19:28:47] * Emmy is trying to convert Berny! "Eat the meat~~~" [19:29:37] Megumi is honestly confused about eating vegetables if you can see their kami. :V [19:29:58] haha [19:30:05] * Emmy can, so it's kinda understandable why she doesn't mind praying before a meal. >_> [19:30:24] Oh, Charles, did you see the earlier link? http://www.boardgames.com/clofed.html [19:31:01] hahaha, that's actually kind of clever. [19:31:34] Who is Toby and why is he dead for a team-building exercise? D: [19:31:55] Toby is the human resources director that Michael HATES. I'm guessing it's a hypothetical situation [19:32:20] A running joke on the show is that Michael absolutely *hates* Toby, and doesn't hesitate to publically say that he wishes he was dead and so forth [19:32:25] hahahahahah [19:33:01] When Toby retired, and Michael was incredibly happy over it, Pam, the secretary, asked him if he was being too jubilant, and his response was "How would you feel, Pam, if you found out that the devil exploded and evil was gone forever?" [19:33:15] (Toby is actually a really nice, soft-spoken guy) [19:33:53] Urgh. [19:33:59] Trying to pre-calc all my skills. [19:34:06] Why brain no work? ;_; [19:34:35] hahahahahah [19:35:11] You probably shouldn't use calculus preparation for D&D. ._. [19:35:49] A later episode was all about Michael trying to frame Toby for murder and drug posession after he came back to work [19:36:08] hahahahahahahahahahaha [19:36:47] http://www.officetally.com/clue-the-office-edition/4 hahahahhahah [19:36:54] I remember that one [19:37:19] I don't know what most of the murder weapons are, but I love the idea of security clearances(?) [19:37:22] Haha, Dwight is Coloniel Mustard [19:37:33] Eek, dinner time. [19:37:40] Ahahahahah [19:37:41] Looks like the Horde will finally be getting some payback for all the years of lame "LOL MOO COW"-jokes about Tauren. [19:37:41] I'll probably make a gnome alt, park it in Gilneas and ask all the worgen I see if I can scratch their widdle tummies and offer them treats if they play nice. [19:38:19] What's with the knife on a folder? [19:38:29] I can't remember that episode [19:38:33] I'd LOVE to see that! [19:38:41] What server will you do it on? A PvP one? [19:38:51] Best guess is that and the nunchaku are references to all the weapons Dwight hides in the office [19:38:51] Look at the timestamps. [19:38:57] Or worse, a RP one! rofl [19:39:00] He's pasting from an SA post [19:39:00] Bbiab. [19:39:04] * Demota nods [19:39:07] What about the bat? [19:39:28] It was from the RP thread, so yeah, they're definitely planning to do it on an RP server [19:39:33] Also ahhahaha [19:39:36] ... man, I really like how they're trying to find out who killed him, and all the weapons are stuff in Dwight's office. [19:39:37] The bat comes from an episode where the was a bat in the office. [19:39:39] Tin Can Hit Man posted: [19:39:39] They're usually such colorful, jolly, gung-ho fellows, that I kinda like the idea of a chronically depressed Troll. A drab Troll constantly moping and being full of negativity just because that's how he IS, without the necessarily depressing background of becoming a Death Knight, losing his family, etc. "Ja mon, life it be meaningless." *shaves off mohawk* [19:39:39] Crawling in my skin, these wounds have already healed. [19:39:49] hahah [19:39:56] It landed on a salesman's head, and Dwight trapped it by shoving a bag over her head [19:40:00] It bit her and she got rabies [19:40:05] Wow. [19:40:08] Did she die? D: [19:40:11] Nope [19:40:21] huh. [19:40:34] I thought rabies was pretty much almost 100% fatal. There's only one known survivor [19:40:47] Any idea what the thing at the upper left is? It looks like a ream of paper [19:41:09] Ahahahah "The only reason I care about Worgen in-game is because it's an excuse to create an old-school World of Darkness-based RP guild in Warcraft. You could probably have Mage and Changeling work with that, too. It's pretty easy, I think, to turn various quests and raids to kill terrible baddies into 'battling the Wyrm' and whatnot." [19:41:27] But it was a recurring plotline throughout the season, ending in a fun run benefit named this: http://s2.thisnext.com/media/400x400/The-Office-Michael-Scotts-Fun_7F33D67F.jpg [19:41:41] hahahahhahahahahah [19:41:44] And Ozzy just took the stage [19:41:51] This'll be interesting [19:42:36] The sandwich press is from an episode where Michael burned his foot getting out of bed stepping onto a sandwich press that he kept next to his bed to make sandwiches without getting up [19:42:42] hahah wow [19:42:47] some people... [19:42:54] hahahahahahahahahah WOW [19:43:16] On this dating site: "Do you have any children? Answer: Prefer Not to Say" [19:43:20] I think you should probably watch The Office, Dem. Didn't you download a torrent of it for me? [19:43:21] Hahahahahha [19:43:29] hahaha [19:43:31] I... might have [19:43:35] There. Brain work now. [19:43:36] Number one: Not fooling anyone.

[20:11:52] I'm on the phone just now, but I should be off soon. [20:12:01] @nick Kale [20:12:06] * MattyQ is now known as Kale [20:12:19] Heya, Matt. Haven't seen you around in a while. [20:13:52] Heya! yeah. Between school last summer, and housework/writing this summer, I've been poor at being here. ._. [20:13:56] Good to see you again, though. [20:13:59] Alright, so we can do a scene change [20:14:02] Digitally, at least. =) [20:14:12] But where to? [20:14:18] Ideally, it'd be good to get Kale back... hm. [20:14:21] We could skip to Monday? [20:14:33] That's fine. ^^ [20:15:41] What do you other guys think? [20:15:46] I guess that works [20:17:17] Arright, go ahead and resume [20:22:42] Kale can make his entrance whenever [20:23:11] (still phonin, but off soon) [20:25:07] I was watching my Bro just make a come back with a battleground when they were losing like an annoyance.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH [20:58:45] Should we keep waiting, or should I bring in an NPC or something? [20:59:03] We're still waiting for Kale, yes? [20:59:05] yeah [21:00:12] I'm okay with waiting, but it's up to you. [21:00:18] I am listening to AWESOME MUSIC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBlJI6YrqTo [21:00:20] * Demota nods [21:00:25] I'm juts concerned about things slowing down [21:04:00] I swear, I've never really REALLY like Yuyuko until I heard her music. [21:04:05] I think I pretty much have to bring in something to keep things going [21:04:10] Yuyuko's pretty great in PCB. [21:04:15] You should give it a shot. [21:04:28] Yuyuko is my favorite final boss in Touhou. [21:04:47] Yeah, same here. [21:04:51] Not counting EX Bosses, anyway. [21:04:59] Those hardly count, since they're on a whole other level [21:06:20] (first Touhou game I ever 1cced, which was just a great fucking feeling. Especially since it's such a dramatic final boss fight) [21:06:49] I still haven't 1cced. :suicide: [21:06:54] Did you play on Easy Mode? [21:07:16] Well yeah, I am not good at shooters. :V [21:07:36] That's unforgivable. Easy mode is only okay if you're a grade schooler. :V [21:07:53] I can't even beat most of the games on easy, let alone 1cc. :smith: [21:08:33] I didn't really care about Youmu for a long time, and then PCB made me like her a lot [21:08:35] I have no idea why [21:10:51] See, I'd never be able to dodge something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz10bka9Ly4&feature=r ec-HM-rev-rn [21:11:59] Satori doesn't count [21:13:09] Also, it's a LOT easier to dodge than it looks [21:14:24] It's something you really have to grab the keyboard and play to understand. [21:14:27] I can't really describe it. [21:14:43] Eventually Touhou kind of puts you into a kind of zen bullet dodging state. :V [21:14:46] Yeah [21:14:56] Just give Perfect Cherry Blossom a shot [21:15:05] Oh man, I still have to try those out. [21:15:12] I haven't played a shooter since high school, and I love them.

[22:01:25] Huh! [22:01:32] I just heard about it from a friend. [22:01:44] It's in the Ong Bak vein of SRS CHOP SOCKEY.

[22:03:33] They're...BREAK DANCE FIGHTING [22:03:51] An autistic lady who learned how to fight from watching movies and guys practice nextdoor.

[22:06:20] From the Explosion-Firing Ryuugun. :V [22:06:24] Exactly. [22:06:24] Which reminds me. [22:06:29] How far are you into Decade? [22:06:36] Haven't watched 29 yet [22:06:45] I'm still happy with the Black eps. :D [22:06:57] I WANT THAT DEATH CHOIR TUNE. [22:07:06] ADyen, you need to stick around more to talk about things like G Gundam and Kamen Rider and Endless Eight [22:07:11] Yes! [22:08:10] :P [22:08:11] The Black episodes were, like, singlehandedly making up for how fruity Decade normally is. [22:08:21] Hahahaha... I guess... [22:08:27] But it's closing the end now, I think. [22:09:28] And it ALL MAKES SENSE that another Blade world would cause that kind of MASS RIDER CARNAGE!! [22:09:38] That. [22:09:43] And the originals wanting in. :V [22:09:51] But YES. [22:10:03] Black Black. [22:10:07] ONE PUSH AGAIN [22:10:10] ... understand? [22:10:19] Obvoiusly, a RACE OF KAMEN RIDERS won the fight in the past so now they're fighting again! [22:10:45] [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2-pMTCkxak ONE PUSH AGAIN! ] [22:11:14] I will say I'm a bit sad they chose a prettyboy and not an actor for AR-Amazon. [22:11:16] But eh. [22:13:56] Oh hey. Decade 30. [22:14:09] Yeah, should be raw's/Youtubed by now. [22:15:40] And... [22:15:45] I am curious about Double/W [22:17:16] * Kentaro (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [22:17:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thVT-xOgTGA&feature=related Oh.

[22:47:09] haha [22:48:10] MEGUMI is RED because she is ROARING DRUNK [22:48:33] Well, there's two humans, and one is pretty innocent. :) [22:48:39] No, it's so she can escape. RED WUNZ GO FASTA [22:48:44] Haha [22:49:00] Berny's human, right? [22:49:07] hahaha [22:50:54] :D So yes, if Berny's human, there's two humans at the table right now and one is pretty innocent, it seems. :D [22:51:43] Yes, she's human. [22:51:50] Unless Dem introduces something she doesn't know about. [22:52:03] I won't because I don't mess with peoples' characters like that. :toot: [22:52:07] Haha, okay. [22:52:09] ( Berny is actually a grizzly bear ) [22:52:27] Ohhhh! I suddenly had a 12-Kingdoms flashback! [22:52:30] Not to say you should change your ways, but I don't mind if you do. [22:52:33] heh [22:52:38] What's that? [22:53:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Kingdoms [22:53:55] Only the most awesome anime in 2003. [22:54:57] Man, I am not so up to date on anime. [22:55:10] Girls who unknowingly gets dragged into another world, politics, intrigue, and even plot! [22:55:15] Same :{ [22:55:26] Any similarity to Escaflowne? [22:55:27] Bullshit. [22:55:30] Oh, and good amount of death too! [22:55:33] Do you know what else aired in 2003? [22:55:41] Cromartie. :colbert: [22:55:43] If you say Inuyasha, I'm going to hurt you. [22:55:47] nahahahahhahaha YES [22:55:48] Ah. Ok, that's pretty good. [22:55:57] FREDDIE [22:56:13] :cobert: Not as good as 12 Kingdoms to me, since I only liked Cromartie and LOVED 12 Kingdoms. [22:56:23] I'm a little tired, how's everyone elese? [22:56:25] else [22:56:28] Also a little tired. [22:57:47] Yeah, I'd be good with stopping here. [22:57:51] Alright, cool [22:58:13] Sure. [22:58:30] Wheeeee [22:58:35] Hope you had fun. [22:58:41] Yup. Thanks for game. ^^ [22:58:41] Though we didn't get Kale back. :{ [22:58:48] Yeah. :( [22:58:57] :smith: [22:59:12] Now all I need to know is if Emmy could call up Kura Okami and ask for that favor of hers from her spiritual older brother. :D [22:59:24] Ya, that was kind of :unsmith: [22:59:37] Why un? [23:00:28] Cause I think I jinxed it a bit earlier. [23:00:50] :unsmith: is usually like, "thing ssucked, but it ended up okay, kinda" [23:01:15] http://demota.sandwich.net/touhou/games/Perfect%20Cherry%20Blossom.rar Postin again [23:01:17] Huh. I always thought that it's mainly just bittersweet and can go either way. [23:01:50] There's usually an assumed "at least " qualifier as a sort of silver lining [23:03:41] Anyways, Yay! I'm starting to give clues that'll lead to Emmy opening up! :D [23:03:58] I'm looking forward to Grotesque, I hope DMC did the soundtrack. :V [23:04:06] heh [23:04:11] * Emmy is now known as Adyen [23:04:14] Grotesque? [23:04:32] Why yes, it's an actual movie. [23:05:21] I've heard it's widely acclaimed as a very horror-horror movie. [23:06:13] huh [23:06:28] G'nite, everyone. :3 [23:07:11] Likewise! [23:07:25] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-75-17-59-245.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: ZzzzZzZ.)

Too bad Megumi's too dense to notice. :V [23:15:51] The truth that she is a DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYKE? [23:16:38] I was thinking more the referring to herself as multiple people. :V [23:16:41] Actually I have no clue [23:16:43] hahaha [23:17:10] So soon we'll find out the truth that she's secretly British royalty. :T End of #Exalted buffer Sun Aug 23 08:57:41 2009
