Start of #Exalted buffer: Fri Oct 16 10:08:27 2009 [17:26:00] #Youkai is open [17:26:10] * Yon2 is now known as Megumi [17:27:16] * Cheeseball is now known as Berny [17:28:08] Bane's article was awesome [17:28:11] Bahamut's sucked [17:28:41] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [17:28:52] I thought Bane's had a bunch of contradictions and took mateiral from Forgotten REalms [17:29:21] Bahamut's was good, because it gave examples of how to use Bahamut in a game outside of being a god for PCs and their allies [17:32:32] http://www.4thletter.net/whatif/ravinkraven.jpg Hahahahahahahah what the FUCK [17:33:00] No, that was Bane's write-up in Divine Power [17:33:19] Bahamut's article was a good article about a splinter cult of fantatical followers [17:33:24] Oh. [17:33:29] But it wasn't a good Deities and Demigods article about Bahamut. [17:33:44] * Demota nods. [17:34:02] It didn't cover any of his mythos or lore, gave no explaination for the canary thing and whatnot [17:34:14] It didn't give more information about his origins like Bane's article did [17:34:16] I think we should start putting more work on our setting wiki. I think at this point, it's acceptable to break from "canon" where gods are concerned. [17:34:29] * NovaSeaker nods. [17:35:19] We need to identify those points that make our setting unique. Like the Raven Queen being a decent person. Still kind of reckless and ambitious, what with being human in PoL and all, but not an evil person. [17:36:31] * Nova (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:36:31] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:36:38] Like, the old war deity that the Divine Power human-Bane slew and replaced was, in the Dragon article, the original name of Bane in the first place. [17:36:43] The Bane discrepancy is also interesting because while the book contradicts the web article, you can see how they might just be two conflicting sets on in-game lore. [17:36:44] * Disconnected [17:36:55] I think the hard thing is that it's easier to write about bad things than good things [17:37:02] Yeah [17:37:09] So an article on Bahamut that didn't cover the bad parts would just be a big ol' dragon handjob [17:37:37] I said as much in my criticism of the Bahamut article. I said that writing up a compelling and intriging church of a lawful good god that remains true to his teachings would be the more creative endevour by far. [17:38:27] I don't know if that can be done, without doing some kind of internal conflict [17:38:29] Making good interesting is hard. But if you pull it off, it would still be an *interesting good church* [17:38:33] Since that's what makes good characters interesting [17:38:41] * Nova nods. [17:38:46] Even *Superman* has internal conflict when he's written well [17:39:00] Yeah, but the tone should be optimistic [17:39:07] Moral clarity with no internal obstacles is kinda boring [17:39:09] Yeah [17:39:15] I think that's how it is for Superman [17:39:22] I wonder how hard it'd be to have Superman: Arkham Asylum. Or similar. [17:39:26] "How best can I help humanity, and is my help harming them" [17:39:31] Not "Well, Bahamut probably doesn't even care what a bunch of mortals do. Thats why you get these guys and no angels come down to correct them." [17:39:34] Well gee, thanks. [17:39:51] Well, in the grand scheme of things, the gods are clearly REALLY distant [17:40:06] Otherwise they might have given some kind of help when one demon lord decided to fuck up the world a hundred years ago [17:40:08] Dem: Impossible, there is a natural law stating that Superman games can never be fun. :| [17:40:15] Charles: Except Melora. [17:40:18] Who is RIGHT BEHIND YOU. [17:40:23] :aaaaaa: [17:40:41] Well played, Melora, but it is I who am behind you. [17:42:30] Is this a girl we've never seen before? [17:42:51] You might have seen her around school, if you're the sort of person that notices that kind of thing [17:45:28] Aaargh, fucked up the Safety Dance :( [17:47:29] ... oh, what the hell, draegloths. [17:48:42] Do they only exist in FR or is this a "normal" drow thing? [17:50:30] Hahahahaha, that's hilarious. So Marvel got this character who I guess was from an independent comic back in the 80s who started crossing over into mainstream Marvel. [17:50:50] Then they killed him off and replaced him with a 'revamped' version, completely fucking up the character in the process. [17:51:09] Why does Marvel have to suck so damn much? [17:51:12] Years later, they decide to give his original creator the oppurtunity to write a What If about him. [17:51:48] And it basically turns into his version of "Punisher kills the Marvel Universe" :V [17:51:53] hahahaha [17:52:05] Wehre is this What If stuff anyway? [17:52:34] It's on Gavok's blog. [17:52:55] Gavok? [17:53:26] Draegloths are an FR thing [17:53:37] aah [17:53:59] He's one of the biggest contributors to the Funny Pannels thread and responsible for, like, at least half of the Ruin the Moments [17:54:12] Where it's canon that Drow priestesses in training have to fuck a demon to graduate, and sometimes they get a half-demon drow offspring called a draegloth [17:54:34] http://www.4thletter.net/2006/08/the-top-100-what-if-countdown-part-7/ Basically he's probably the funniest poster in BSS [17:54:45] Nova: :} [17:54:50] ... did... [17:54:58] Did Greenwood make that? [17:55:13] Salvatore [17:55:20] :{ [17:55:29] heh [17:56:05] I'm curious as to why you're "what the hell" about them. [17:56:18] I mean, half-demon was a template that could be applied to nigh-anything. [17:57:17] Yeah, but it's not a common part of society, usually. [17:58:59] They're not all that common [17:59:10] It rarely happens [17:59:17] ...hahahahah [17:59:18] A nice, wholesome ending. Sometimes rare in these stories. I think it’s silly that they would use the word “cripple” to explain the six-arm situation just because Xavier’s in the same room, but I get what they were going for. Sure, on paper, having six arms doesn’t exactly make you physically challenged, but that last paragraph pretty much lays in the point. It’s a good issue on its own, but it jumped up about ten spots from where [17:59:18] “Hm, so how exactly did I end up in the ocean again? A shark! Bah, this nautical predator is nothing compared to the armaments of Doom! But, what is this?! More come to devour me! I cannot fight them off! Curse you, Richards! This is your doing, I know it! Blast! I knew I should have invented the Doom Shark Repellent last weekend! I’ll get you for this, Richards! …oh, I really hope I’m just a Doombot.” [17:59:40] Nova: Are you talking about them being born, or the whole messy process? D: [18:02:38] Torino's a last name. [18:02:48] In case it wasn't clear [18:03:06] I'm guessing Charles is ditracted again. :( [18:04:24] He's raiding, I think [18:04:29] Yeah [18:04:31] Haha. [18:04:53] My raid to not-raid ratio is pretty high, though, since we're on Hagan and I'm still learning the dance :( [18:04:53] Oh, Maha, still wondering about an answer for Sat. [18:05:14] Oh, your birthday? Did you decide on a location? [18:05:25] Torino just sounds like a Spanish name to me. :| [18:05:32] Haha [18:05:45] I'm heavily leaning BJ's. [18:06:21] Though I'm still not totally decided. [18:06:32] Most of the places are either in Fremont, Newark, or Milpitas. [18:08:34] * Nova (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:08:52] ... okay, it turns out a Tijuana Bible is nothing like a Gutenburg Bible. [18:08:53] Who knew? [18:09:16] http://www.4thletter.net/whatif/normie.jpg Hahahahahah, here we learn why Osborns are always evil, because there's just no way to genetically have hair like that and not be emotionally scarred. :V [18:09:35] hahhaha [18:10:32] Dem> Lemme know when and where, and I'll find out if Rud can drive there. :3 [18:10:45] * Demota nods [18:11:00] I'll the potential locations. As for time... unsure. @_@ [18:11:35] http://www.yelp.com/biz/bjs-restaurant-and-brewery-newark [18:11:54] http://www.yelp.com/biz/hot-pot-city-milpitas [18:12:31] "Honor thy father, kill the spider" was the rough draft version of the fifth commandment [18:13:05] http://www.yelp.com/biz/semo-sushi-fremont [18:13:07] hahahahah [18:13:27] Hahahhaha [18:14:06] ... hnnnnnnnnnggggggggggh http://i30.tinypic.com/swe6f4.gif [18:14:49] Dem> Lemme know when you decide. :3 [18:15:22] hmmm... [18:16:52] Ahhaahh [18:16:52] Just so the other Marvel alternate universes don’t feel left out, here are some quick reviews for a couple of them. [18:16:52] Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe: Fun, if it’s one of your first Garth Ennis stories. If not, you’ll be rolling your eyes. [18:16:52] Earth X: Strangely, I haven’t read it yet. One day. [18:16:52] Marvel Ruins: Depressing, hard to look at and pointless. A lot like the Steel movie. [18:17:57] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [18:18:44] Hi [18:18:58] Maha: Any prefs between them? [18:19:40] Ah, screw it. Let's try Semo. [18:19:43] Never been there before [18:19:47] Maybe it will be cool. [18:21:29] Dude, it's your birthday! [18:21:36] Yeah, I know. :V [18:21:39] If you want to go to Semo, I'll try to make it out there. [18:21:45] Like I said, super indecisive [18:21:48] Did you decide on a time? :3 [18:21:53] ... hm. [18:22:01] Think of it this way - you can always go to any of the others you don't choose any other time. :3 [18:22:03] Leeeeet me think about that. [18:22:07] Okie. [18:22:09] oh, true [18:22:48] Awww, that cat's so cute [18:22:53] Maybe... 12 or 12:30. Lunch is weird if it's after 12:59. [18:23:46] That is a cute cat. :3 [18:24:05] Yeah. :3 [18:24:27] ...D'oh. We probably can't make Saturday. :( [18:24:32] Aw. Okay. [18:24:46] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.130.189) has joined #Exalted [18:24:59] Sorry, Dem. ;_; We wouldn't be able to make it out there until past 2, and we'd have to leave really soon after for an appointment. [18:25:01] There willl be other oportunities [18:25:04] * Demota nods [18:25:09] Hey Adyen, get IC and into channel. :3 [18:25:21] And look at this cat. http://i30.tinypic.com/swe6f4.gif [18:26:11] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [18:26:38] * Emmy nosebleeds. [18:27:03] Oh, did she smell human to Kentaro? [18:27:14] Nope. [18:27:27] oh, what's happening? [18:27:46] We just met a second-year girl named Torino who was sitting in Megumi's usual seat when we got to the cafeteria. [18:28:10] Heeeeiiiiigaaaaaan :klink: [18:29:05] Was it anything recognizable? Or some other thing? [18:29:57] Hm. I'm not sure how hard this should be to figure out [18:30:40] http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-deep-fried-twinkie-and-pastrami-shop-fremont I was curious bout this place, but it seems an awful place to visit for a birthday. [18:30:48] Also, potentially hazardous. [18:32:12] Hahaha [18:32:27] 'Deep fried twinkie and pastrami' makes me think of Stallone Cuts for some reason [18:32:31] what's that? [18:32:40] Stallone Cuts? [18:32:41] I was talking with some friends and figure you can't go there by yourself becuase you need a designated person-that-calls-911. [18:32:51] I totally want a deep fried twinkie/pastrami one day. [18:32:58] Hahahaha. [18:33:01] Rolled-up turkey with thin veins of mayo wrapped in a layer of sweaty, pinkish cheese [18:33:02] I'm sure that's just a joke. [18:33:06] It's what college professors eat [18:33:07] Hahaha. [18:33:08] hahahaha [18:33:20] Sweaty, pinkish cheese??? [18:34:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WCiBPjckTg [18:35:12] Kentaro says that while yawning. :| [18:35:38] Hahaha [18:36:39] #YoukaiRooftop, Maha. And anyone who cares to look [18:38:18] Okie. [18:39:29] Sorano = Torino? [18:40:48] er, yeah. Whoops [18:43:09] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:43:10] Hahahah "I once came to a crossroads in my life, just like you. I'm always comin' to fuckin' crossroads." [18:44:28] "True story: I woke up vibrating one day. Turns out: I was in the Sharper Image. Turns out: I had an erection. Turns out: Nobody cared." [18:44:55] Haha [18:46:06] Hahahah "The whole Hulk situation turns the issue around, mainly for the brawl with Doom. “GRIMM CLOBBER DOOM!” just makes me so giddy. It’s nothing much, but compared to the rest of that year’s batch of What Ifs (none of which are on the list, other than What If General Ross Became the Hulk), it was like Watchmen with Alex Ross art, scented with bacon." [18:50:21] *gasp* Pointing with chopsticks! [18:52:21] Ugh. I lost page access again. :/ [18:55:12] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-191-96-16.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [18:57:22] Re [19:03:42] Megumi is tsundere as hell. :| [19:04:22] Hahaha [19:06:41] I-it's not like I like playing them or anything. [19:06:48] ( :V ) [19:06:56] Hahaha [19:07:10] ... oh! Maha. [19:07:14] Yesh? [19:07:20] We wanted to do some kind of super short D&D thingy. [19:07:25] :D! [19:07:28] Wondering if you were interested. [19:07:30] When? [19:07:33] Still no luck finding a Mage day, though [19:07:37] Wah. :( [19:07:37] I dunno. :/ [19:08:09] We can't do Saturday, we can't do Sunday, we can't do Friday without cutting out Adyen, we cna't do Monday or Wednesday or Thursday, and we can't do Tuesday without cutting out Yon [19:08:22] Booo. D: [19:08:32] Who else has trouble with Sunday? [19:08:39] No one. [19:08:39] Technically, you could do Friday if it's as late as today. [19:08:48] Just me? [19:08:49] I'll probably be home around 9:30 est. [19:08:56] ... hm. [19:09:02] Okay, so fridays ARE doable? [19:09:14] I could try Fridays, but I'll be absent sometimes. I don't know how often yet. [19:09:15] Though it'll have to start later [19:09:43] Or rather, THIS Friday I'm not busy. I won't be around this Sat/Sun, tho. [19:10:18] I can do late fridays. [19:10:22] As for that D&D game idea, we have no idea either. [19:10:36] I want Nova to play, since he wants to finally get to play in a game with you [19:10:45] :o [19:14:50] Wow, way to make me sound like a creepy stalker. [19:15:12] Haha, no, it's okay. I didn't take it that way, haha. [19:15:15] :( [19:15:30] Anyway, Nova can do any days but friday, saturday, and sunday, yeah?

I might be able to swing a friday every now and then. [19:18:20] And tuesdays are something I don't wanna do [19:18:20] Since three straight nights of gaming will burn me out very quickly. [19:18:20] * Disconnected [19:18:24] * Nova is now known as NovaSeaker [19:18:27] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [19:18:30] * Demota nods. [19:18:39] How frequently is a Friday possible? [19:18:49] Randomly. [19:18:54] hm. [19:19:04] Frequent enough that I can get 4-5 entered before 12/31? [19:19:04] I really hate scheduling my life out ahead of time for more than two days a week. [19:19:10] Yeah [19:19:21] I like having everything scheduled. :toot: [19:19:40] I very much dislike it. [19:20:01] Holly used to make me feel like I HAD to leave the house two weekends a month. [19:20:28] :( [19:20:30] Like staying in was such a huge compromise that I could only do it half the time. [19:22:00] Anywho! Maha, I expressed interest in gaming with you because you seem like a genuinely fun person to game with, and I had not yet. :) [19:26:44] Hm. Nova, Maha, Charles, Yon makes 4. If we can get one more person, we might be able to start this thing tomorrow. Rusty might be good, but I know he also doesn't really do weekends. [19:26:48] Aw. Thanks. ^^ It'd be fun to try a game together, I'm sure. [19:27:10] My web doesn't work, can someone link the fainting goats video off Youtube? [19:27:13] Why do we need 5? [19:27:17] I <3 goats. [19:27:31] All 5 primal classes? [19:27:41] Man, I forgot how to spell goats [19:27:47] Yeah. Or I could just scale the encounters, I guess [19:27:56] I amost typed in "Fainting ghoasts" into Youtube [19:28:00] hahaha [19:28:00] Well you bring up a good point [19:28:03] Haha [19:28:06] Also, I need enough DCI numbers. [19:28:12] Or it'll all have been in vain. :( [19:28:17] Do you have mine, Dem? [19:28:24] Nooooooo [19:28:27] If we only have 4, and Yon and I are bother controllers, we won't be able to fill the roles. [19:28:33] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9_CdNPuJg [19:28:34] Oh, okay. I'll give you my number when we play. [19:28:38] kk [19:28:47] Yeah [19:28:50] 2209-398-516 [19:28:54] Gimme it later [19:28:58] 2209-398-516 [19:29:21] ...Oh you meant much later.

[19:31:45] I'll be back. [19:32:41] Nyoro [19:33:25] I'm thinking... if New RPG Day gets off the ground, maybe it'll be on different days depending on who's interested and who isn't. [19:39:31] I think Kentaro needs to smell Daisuke, I'm afraid he's been replaced by a pod-person. :( [19:40:13] haha [19:40:15] Why's that? :O [19:41:17] Well he's suddenly all confident and cracking jokes and stuff [19:42:31] Well, he's in a good mood [19:44:47] ( Meaning: He just saw a girl he might like. ) [19:44:56] And that has not yet shot him down. [19:51:57] It probably won't last. :V [19:57:31] http://www.4thletter.net/whatif/dumdumlmd.jpg I'm kind of surprised that Liefeld drew this. [20:00:57] Okay, now I have to vanish for a bit.

[20:09:39] ... it's Thursday. :/ [20:09:46] :( [20:09:49] Well, to be fair, I haven't played Youkai in a very, very long time. =( [20:09:55] true. [20:10:14] But I did learn that my computer can play Crysis on medium. So not a total loss. [20:10:29] Sorry ._. [20:10:36] Man, we got Heigan to half health that last time before someone fucked up the Safety Dance. :( [20:10:42] You jackabee. :( [20:11:26] Back. [20:11:29] (I honestly don't get how someone *can* screw it up. Outside of a few points when I completely downs out, I've got it down after one trip to Naxx) [20:11:31] Hey [20:11:39] Safety Dance? [20:11:42] Heya. [20:11:48] Doo doo dee doo doo doo dee [20:12:44] There's one boss in Naxxramas where his gimmick is that his entire room is full of traps [20:12:58] * Berny nods. [20:13:05] So for the entire fight, you're running back and forth across his room to avoid the traps as he springs them [20:13:06] Oh, hey, it's Matty. [20:13:13] Heya =) [20:13:16] And the process of dodging those traps is called the Safety Dance [20:13:16] Heya. :3 [20:13:26] Are you joining us for Youkai? :3 [20:13:31] Cha> Hahaha. [20:13:37] hee [20:14:30] I don't know how long I can stay up, unfortunately, since I have an early morning tomorrow. =( But what's been happening since I disappeared? [20:14:41] Aww. [20:14:43] I don't really remember the last time you were around. :/ [20:14:48] Uhh [20:14:50] It was... [20:15:01] Talking tree had been resolved. [20:15:04] And... [20:15:12] a long time ago [20:15:26] Not a whole lot's happened since then, I guess [20:15:29] Umm...lessee...We figured out the little fox skeleton (mostly). [20:15:38] And I think that's kind of it for big things. [20:16:08] Oh! [20:16:22] I need to get the plot threads sorted out. [20:17:27] I can't remember what I told you and what arrangements you made. [20:17:37] I know Emmy wanted to investigate who bought up that forest area. [20:17:49] And... there was something about an audience with a myoubu. [20:17:59] I don't remember why, though [20:18:16] Oh. I don't remember that part. [20:19:08] Then there's stuff that happened but I didnt' really deal with. [20:19:15] Like the white fox and the blonde lady. [20:19:37] * Alt-Eisen (Rook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #Exalted [20:19:54] I remember the blonde lady in passing, I think [20:20:01] Hey AE. [20:20:04] What's up? [20:20:12] yo [20:20:16] just checking in [20:20:20] * Demota thinks. "You busy on Fridays?" [20:20:31] why? [20:20:46] I wanna run a short D&D thing. Maybe 4, 5 sessions [20:21:48] >_> too bad I don't have set days off to join. [20:21:54] :( [20:22:35] depends how I feel tomorrow [20:22:47] Hm. [20:22:52] So you don't know if you can attend reliably? [20:22:59] yeah [20:23:02] * Demota nods. :/ [20:23:28] * Yon is now known as Megumi [20:23:31] re, Yon [20:23:37] [20:02:43] * Emmy says the same like she's swallowing a rock. "Witches Strike." [20:23:37] [20:03:11] That sounds kinda familiar. [20:23:37] [20:06:29] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014uw-ad04-69-225.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:23:38] [20:08:53] * Emmy shrugs. "They did a lot of promo for it, I guess." [20:23:38] [20:14:18] I...may have been the only person who thought it was scary. Even though I didn't really get it, either. [20:23:38] [20:14:21] * Berny blushes a little. [20:24:14] Hahahaha, I love the reason the Savage Swarm is wrecking cities in Monsterpocalypse Now [20:24:22] They're mutations of bugs that were attracted to light. [20:24:25] And they still are. [20:24:28] Huh. Cool. [20:24:36] I've been trying to cut caffiene from my diet and as a result I've been feeling a bit run down as of late [20:24:38] Oh, I got to finish up a soup. brb. [20:24:56] So they don't seem to bear any ill will towards humans, they just bump into buildings and shit like a moth bumps into a lightbulb [20:24:59] What are they? Destroyers? [20:25:12] Yeha [20:26:16] AR: How long have you been at it? [20:27:28] AE, rather [20:27:29] A couple weeks [20:28:08] That's a pretty long time to get used to something... I don't really know much about medicine, but that might be long enough to have to see a doctor. [20:29:14] My doctor told me to cut the caffiene in the first place [20:29:20] aah. [20:29:31] Did your doctor say how long it'd take to get used to? [20:29:36] nope [20:31:26] * Demota nods [20:32:28] I think some people have withdrawl for a pretty long time. [20:33:24] :( [20:33:40] Yeah, I have a friend who took months to get over caffeine withdrawal...and then decided it wasn't worth it. >_> [20:33:45] I'll probably wrap up Youkai soon tonight, since I'm kinda out of ideas for that right now. I really need to get itreorganized. [20:34:15] A calendar, the plot threads, etc. [20:34:43] Well its either pooing myself or feeling sleepy at night. Which would you choose? :P [20:35:23] I didn't know caffeine did that [20:35:51] We found the diarhea was a combo of a medicine I took, lactose intolerance, and caffiene [20:35:58] aah [20:36:09] The timing's a little weird, though. 8:30 is usually a time I"m still pretty awake [20:36:13] based on my bloodwork [20:36:30] Dem> That's fine. [20:38:18] Good luck with getting over the caffeine withdraw, AE. Glad you the cause figured out, at least. ^^ [20:38:44] I've dropped ten pounds in two weeks [20:39:00] So the diet's doing something [20:39:04] Huh [20:39:33] maybe not ten [20:39:44] I forget when I weighed myself last [20:39:47] could be less [20:40:00] That's a really sharp drop. [20:41:27] http://monsterpocalypse.com/gallery/tritons/steel-shell-crab I wonder if the concept for this started and ended at 'giant enemy crab' [20:41:36] hahaha [20:41:39] That would be pretty good [20:41:48] WHat're the Tritons like? I can't open thing sstill. :/ [20:42:05] Are they the... Cthul agenda? [20:42:15] Crab Battle? [20:42:20] Crab battle! [20:42:49] They're the new Invaders [20:42:55] aah [20:43:33] Invaders is Tritons, Defenders is the elemental monk guys, Collaborators is probably the robot corporation, Swarm is destroyers... [20:43:52] I'm guessing the Apes are the radicals? [20:44:30] Oh, and what's Kentaro doing? [20:51:46] .. I forget, how much does Emmy know about people? [20:52:19] Enough [20:55:52] later all. Heading to bed [20:55:55] Later AE [20:56:13] * Alt-Eisen (Rook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:56:18] Besides, it's not like Emmy doesn't have her own sense. :D [20:56:31] Maybe the only one she's got. :| [20:59:43] Apes are radicas, yeah [21:03:06] http://monsterpocalypse.com/gallery/ubercorp-international/mecha-task-master Making robot versions of cthuloid entities seems in bad taste. :| [21:03:13] haha [21:03:18] * MattyQ (mattyqwill@173-9-111-234-NewEngland.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [21:03:32] I can't load the site, but I remember hearing about it only costing 1 to spawn, and being focused mainly on getting allies to move around [21:04:06] Look, Mechagodzilla is awesome. [21:04:15] Therefore, Mechacthulhu must be even MORE awesome. [21:04:39] Does Ubercorp make any original robots, or are they all copies of Rise stuff? [21:04:50] All robot versions of Rise monsters [21:04:52] And units [21:05:08] Well, the Lords of Cthul, in the setting fluff, actively drove entire cities mad and corrupted and twisted their citizens into terrible monsters. [21:05:40] So, like, at its most mild, this giant corporation making robot versions of their stuff seems roughly equivalent to a company making roboHitler butlers to sell to Jewish people [21:07:31] Hahahahah [21:08:02] Well, their name is _Ubercorp_. They practically have to be evil...right? [21:08:58] Well, they're Collaborators. [21:09:08] Collaborators are guys who defend earth, but have their own agenda [21:10:26] I kind of wonder when we're gonna see them diverge a little more. The Collaborators were a corporation again, and the radicals are still environmentalists [21:10:43] I'd love to see a facist/communist group as radicals, say [21:11:06] Defenders are guys who protect earth, period. Collaborators are shady defenders. Invaders are guys trying to take earth over. Destroyers just destroy stuff. Then the Fiends are pure evil and want suffering. Then the Radicals are, so far, eco-terrorists. [21:11:17] And each side can work with the guy to the left and the right of them. [21:11:24] So Defenders can work with Radicals and Collaborators [21:11:29] Who are the new Fiends, by the way? [21:11:37] Subterran Invaders [21:11:38] The Lords of Cthul are going to be a tough act to follow [21:12:00] They're cyborg molemen trying to blot out the sun and enslave humanity to work in their smog factories [21:12:16] ... while kinda cool, they sound more like Invaders than Fiends. [21:12:45] I was kinda hoping for a more classical sort of Fiend. [21:12:55] Yeah. Maybe in set 3 [21:12:55] Cloven hooves, red skin, ram's horns, etc. [21:13:09] I wonder if they'll revisit the set 1 guys. [21:13:18] I think they still work as fiends, because Invaders want something other than just causing sheer misery [21:13:19] They said that they'd revisit them, but I don't know how soon is too soon [21:13:27] What do the Lords of Cthul want? [21:13:35] Slaves and food, as far as I could tell [21:13:38] * Demota nods [21:13:57] Also, I wonder if Ubercorp will do GUARD [21:14:08] I dunno. That'd be pretty interesting [21:14:26] To be honest, I woulnd't be too surprised if Ubercorp was alrady partly responsible for GUARD's designs and/or production [21:14:33] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [21:14:35] Oi [21:14:36] Hi [21:16:59] Yeah. They seem to have a similar aesthetic [21:17:04] I just like the idea of double robots [21:17:11] Yeah. [21:17:35] I wonder when the Voltron set is due, and if it'll run concurrently with regular MonPoc stuff [21:17:40] Or maybe a horrible bioengineered version of Sky Sentinel :gonk: [21:17:44] haha [21:19:20] So the Subterran Invaders want humans to be enslaved and pollute the earth and die? [21:19:27] Yeah [21:19:56] I like that PP is putting an obviously considerable amount of work into setting building [21:20:01] They have Human Resources Centers, which take in slaves and produce literally nothing but sky-darkened pollutants [21:20:14] At least until they get beaten up by the Fantastic Four. :| [21:20:17] hahaha [21:20:47] Given how there are now ten groups trying to destroy the world and two trying to protect it, I wonder exactly how fucked the earth is by set two. :| [21:21:07] Well, most of the groups trying to destroy the earth cancel each other out. [21:21:19] Plus they're all fucked when Voltron gets here. [21:21:25] hahaha [21:21:34] Plus it's more like 4. At least. Kinda. [21:21:45] Well, I dunno. Like, in a fight between the Lords of Cthul and the Subterran Invaders, there really aren't any winners in the city [21:21:46] The Collaborators have their own agenda, but they want the earth to be alright. [21:21:57] When Miki arrives, Emmy's going to be talking to her about how the stage will be set up. Now we get to practice with props on the field! :D [21:22:11] Like, the Shadowsun Syndicate is a crime organization. [21:23:17] Huh. Apparently the flute isn't Jade's instrument. [21:23:24] And she really hates it. :| [21:23:38] Jade? [21:23:47] gardenGnostic [21:24:00] Aah [21:24:04] All of the Homestuck kids have an instrument [21:24:26] John plays the piano, Rose plays the violin, Dave plays the turntables, and Jade plays something that's not a flute [21:24:34] huh. I never noticed that [21:25:58] There's a *lot* of thematic motifs for the kids. Like, each is associated with a classical element, and their web browser reflects that, for instance [21:26:10] What is this? [21:26:13] huh. [21:26:18] Homestuck. It's a webcomic [21:26:23] Ah, okay. [21:26:29] I'm very out of the loop when it comes to these things. [21:27:07] John's associated with wind, and his browser is Typheus, the hundred-headed serpent of the winds. Rose's is water, and her browser is Cetus, a personification of terrible things in the ocean. And Dave's is fire and his browser is Hesphaestus [21:29:19] Maha: Homestuck is, like, seriously the best webcomic, artistically speaking. It does a lot of fascinating things to explore the medium and is genuinely pretty damn clever [21:30:55] I'll have to check it out. :D [21:31:07] www.mspaintadventures.com Hosted here [21:31:50] oh, thanks! [21:32:46] Haha, I think I may have seen some things from this before. [21:33:46] Also, the newest update is kind of a tease. I really want to see Jade's sylladex [21:33:55] Since it apparently confused the hell out of Dave [21:34:44] Just the one what? [21:37:00] Just the one way. [21:37:03] Hahahahah [21:37:03] Cow Bell posted: [21:37:03] Keep in mind that during the interview or whatever for the origins path, it's recommended that the GM allows you one "cheat" origin - i.e., instead of using the down/adjacent method, you can skip and take one you really like, and then advance from there. I talked to my GM and he liked my backstory enough that I used my cheat to become a Rogue Trader - while hailing from a Death World and being a viscous brute. [21:37:03] That must make getaways a rather slow affair as he oozes his way along to the landing craft and the rest of the party cover his glacial retreat. [21:37:09] No, they just pour him into his Thermos Palanquin and tote him. [21:38:45] Hhahahahahahaah, it took me a second to catch that [21:39:52] haha [21:41:17] This is a cute webcomic. [21:42:00] Yeah [21:49:55] How are people? [21:50:24] I'm still good. [21:51:28] A little tired. [21:51:39] Hm. [21:51:45] Hahahahhha, I love the recurring themes of What If: Spider-Man dies, and Reed Richards is BALLSING CRAZY [21:52:01] hahahha [21:52:18] Should we stop here and resume sometime else? I'd be good tomorrow evening if people want to get another session done before next Thursday. [21:52:31] Works for me [21:52:56] I may or may not be able to be online tomorrow, but I'll see if I can be here. [21:53:05] Hahaha, for some reason, my discussion with Matt about rock/paper/scissors just came back to me [21:53:20] Where we were trying to figure out how, exactly, covering a rock with paper neutralizes it [21:53:30] aha [21:53:41] And our best guess was that the metaphorical battle in rock/paper/scissors is against someone with the object permanence of an infant [21:53:55] Hahahahaha [21:53:58] So if you cover their rock with paper, they just don' [21:54:01] t realize it's there [21:55:03] * Megumi blinks at Steam. [21:55:14] There's...a new Painkiller coming? :aaaaa: [21:55:18] Yeah. [21:55:27] I'm wondering how it'll be [21:55:56] I know the first game was good, the expansion was more of the same (not that that's a bad thing), and Overdose was not great and not made by the same guys [21:56:08] Oh, Charles, what did you think of Saint's Row 2? [21:56:47] Yeah, I remember seeing Overdose and thinking it was kind of dumb and sort of missing the point of the original. [21:57:08] What was Overdose like? [21:57:36] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/521550/ :aaaaa: [21:58:25] Saints Row 2 was a lot like GTA without anything that made GTA charming, eventually. Like, GTA2, I guess [21:58:33] * Demota nods [21:59:01] Except that you can be an enormous black man with the voice of a woman wearing a sling bikini and mirrorshades, which is something on GTA, I guess? [21:59:07] hahaha [21:59:25] Overdose was...well, it was only tenuously connected to the original game, and instead of a guy with a gun that shot shuriken and lightning, you're some retarded half-angel/half-demon thing or something. [22:00:07] What got me about Overdose is that they added Duke Nukem-esque quips. Except he said them ALL THE FUCKING TIME [22:00:13] ... :( [22:00:35] Over the course of the first level, I heard him say "Mmmmm, demon souls, tastes like chicken" or some shit no fewer than six times [22:00:40] Wow [22:00:44] That doesn't even make sense. [22:02:16] Wow, that pokemon picture is AMAZING. (though I was slightly dissappointed because at first glance I thought it was going to be a parody of the first Gurren Lagann ending) [22:03:11] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/174492/ hahahahah [22:04:14] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/356538/ I like 5 year old Dawn [22:04:26] Or whatever her name is [22:04:39] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/522167/ aww [22:04:55] Hahahahah, I've always wanted to know the context of Surfing Tauros [22:06:02] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/502159 daww [22:09:09] Dude. Not cool. [22:09:22] Just because Emmy is speaking in Japanese doesn't mean you can start swapping L and R. :( [22:10:44] lol [22:10:56] oops. [22:13:22] oh, Maha, I found this. This is weird. http://www.botjunkie.com/2009/10/07/robot-pillow-makes-me-uncom fortable/ [22:14:17] Haha [22:15:05] That is creepy. [22:15:17] Yeah [22:15:38] It's too sluglike for comfort. o_o [22:16:17] Yeah, but they've made the perfect flesh-seeking robot maggot [22:16:22] Hahaha [22:16:52] I'm really pretty much okay with non-animated, non-robot pillows. [22:17:08] The guy's interaction with the pillow is almost creepier than the pillow itself. [22:17:22] Yeah [22:17:27] Maybe it's just because we aren't used to robot pillows yet. [22:17:30] He's just really disaffected through the whole process [22:18:12] ... Wow. I'm having Pod-People flashbacks just watching that. [22:19:46] How are people? [22:19:54] Sleepy. You? [22:21:06] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/431560/hands-holding-pixiv-puppy-shiba_inu-toriny-transla dawww [22:21:24] Hahahahah http://www.achewood.com/ [22:22:00] I wonder what's gonna happen with Todd. Has he ever had a proper arc? [22:22:09] Nope! [22:22:10] He's usually just an arc-starter [22:22:40] Onstad said he was gonna do one-offs for a while. But I like that Todd decided that actually going and pissing up a rope was a great idea [22:23:10] Yeah [22:23:13] * Kentaro changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself!
