Start of #Exalted buffer: Fri Nov 06 08:15:11 2009 [17:17:24] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-71-138-135-199.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #Exalted [17:19:11] Hey Maha [17:19:23] Adyen won't be around today, unfortunately. [17:19:27] BUt, 3's enough [17:21:03] Popped open #Youka [17:21:04] i [17:21:19] My logs are on my laptop, which I don't have right now... does anyone remember what happened last time? [17:27:15] Megumi and the new guy had a fight and he and Kentaro kind of tarded out at each other [17:27:49] Oh, and something about a teruterubozu. [17:28:00] Aah, yeah. [17:28:09] Do you remember what day it was in-game? [17:29:42] Monday. [17:29:45] Thanks [17:29:53] Should we wait for AE to pop up, or just go? [17:31:18] Either way is fine with me. ^^ I'm sort of still working, anyways. ^^ [17:33:02] Let's give half an hour [17:54:59] Alright, close enough [17:55:00] Get IC [17:55:45] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [17:56:22] * Cheeseball is now known as Berny [17:58:29] Go ahead Yon [17:58:34] :D [17:59:03] http://comics.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=58476&it=1&SRC=newsletter I really like the Lincoln wereowolves thing [18:01:57] Laffo. On the Dragon Age forums, there was a thread about wether or not you could, like, morally redeem Morrigan, titled "Can you turn Morrigan?". And like fully half the responses are people who're disappointed that it's not a thread about a hidden f/f relationship with her. :V [18:02:18] hhahah [18:03:34] * Yon is now known as Megumi [18:07:59] 'Can be redeemed' threads inescapably make me imagine the character in question furiously hunt and pecking at a keyboard as they troll the thread now. Thanks Geoff Johns :V [18:08:30] hahah [18:08:32] Hahahahah [18:08:49] I think the pertinent question is: Can we turn Superboy Prime gay? [18:17:12] Turn? [18:17:30] What do you think he was doing for those 20 years with Alex? [18:31:39] Wow. http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1257474424370.jpg [18:31:57] What the fuck [18:32:29] Yeah [18:38:20] Yon: Oh yeah. That bizarre tabard thing. WHat thread was that from? [18:40:35] http://adult.engrish.com/2006/11/18/grandpa-rules/ Kentaro totally has this shirt [18:40:37] I...don't remember. It might have been the bitching thread, it might've been worst player, it might have been skull splitting stupidity. ...the WoW sub forum has a LOT of threads to complain about stupid people. :V [18:40:49] hahahha [18:41:17] What bizarre tabard thing? [18:41:29] http://starbucks.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/78/7890eb5529755545d57d7ba399f98e4dd0909794.jpg [18:46:25] * Berny laughs at the t-shirt. [18:51:58] Ahahahahah [18:51:58] http://kotaku.com/5398260/queen-guitarist-demanded-perfectly-molded-lego-hair [18:52:59] Brian May rules. [18:53:05] heeee [18:54:20] Hahaha [18:59:55] Oh, Maha. There's a Star Trek thingy at the San Jose tech museum [18:59:58] I wanna go soon [19:01:12] Oh, dude! I was thinking of going! [19:01:17] Doood [19:01:35] I don't know when, though. One of my other friends mentioned it at some point, but nothing's happened yet. [19:01:38] * Demota nods [19:01:45] SOme of my friends are talking about going too [19:01:58] Oh, that sounds awesome [19:02:14] Not sure how expensive it'll be, though [19:02:24] Tech museum's not much, maybe $10. [19:02:34] Yeah. And the exhibit's... $25? [19:02:43] Is the exhibit extra? I have to go look at it. [19:07:22] Oh, prices went up since last time I looked. It's now $25/person. [19:07:32] Group rate is $20 [19:08:07] aah [19:08:38] I don't think there's an additional cost for the exhibit. [19:09:06] I thought it was $10 because the last time I went, I was a kid on a field trip, and it was kind of a while ago... XD [19:09:10] hahah [19:09:59] Sean's so lucky. He used to work there, so he gets a lifetime free pass. [19:10:18] Oh, wow. Awesome [19:10:19] Wow, nice [19:10:25] Hmm... what day do you plan on going? [19:10:40] Dunno yet. I'll probably ask when I see people this weekend. [19:11:00] Oh yeah! Uh... the 14th. [19:11:04] Any idea on if you'll be free then? [19:12:00] Not yet. ^^ I'm kind of in a bind because I found out the initial screening of the movie's already booked, so I gotta finish the artwork by the end of the year, if at all possible. [19:12:18] This week's been busy, so I've made almost no progress. x_x [19:12:19] * Demota nods [19:12:22] ack. :/ [19:12:39] Well, lemme know when you find out. I gotta make reservations, I think. FOr the Warhammer prereelease thingy [19:13:34] I think my sister's interested in the Star Trek thingy too [19:13:42] Let's see if we can get a group of 10 for that tasty discount [19:13:53] Awesome. [19:13:58] Yeah, it sounds really fun. [19:14:18] Both Warhammer and Star Trek. [19:14:46] * Demota nods [19:14:56] I should talk to you about the mechanics sometimes. THey fascinate me. [19:15:12] I've never played Warhammer before. How does it work, generally? [19:15:37] I don't know! It's a prerelease! It'll be new to all of us! :D [19:15:45] But I have been reading up on the previews [19:16:18] It's a very... structured? thing. Like, it's got its own specialty dice [19:18:13] :o [19:18:28] * LostInTangents (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [19:18:30] Oi [19:19:27] Hey [19:19:36] Do the noodles have meat balls? :| [19:19:37] Hey Rusty [19:19:38] What's up? [19:20:03] Nothing muchm watching Dexter. [19:20:39] Dexter's Lab? [19:21:04] No, Dexter. A Showtime series about a serial killer who only kills other killers. [19:23:38] Dem> I guess IMAX and simulators are extra, though. [19:24:10] * Demota nods [19:25:08] Lemme see. Me, Norm, Eric, Rob, you, Sean, my sister... that makes 7. 8 if Ange wants. We need 10 for that group discount. DUnno if Sean counts, though, since he's free [19:25:43] Yeah. ^^ We might be able to combine groups, though. I might have a group of friends going. [19:26:28] We usually have a huge group, so it probably won't be an issue. [19:26:43] hehe [19:31:00] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-66-177-90-27.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [19:31:38] So, my therapist is suggesting I seriously consider anti-depressants. [19:32:27] Hey Nova. [19:32:32] Glad to see you on. [19:32:47] Hey Dem. Again, I'm really sorry for losing my shit on you last night. [19:33:29] * Demota nods [19:33:30] Hey, Nova. [19:33:39] Hey Nova. [19:33:53] I really thought I said something that was unforgivable. [19:34:18] Oi Nova. [19:34:26] Well, I'm pretty much all-forgiving and tend to sacrifice of myself. Much like another person you worship. [19:34:27] Hey guys. [19:35:29] So, I'm honestly just very grateful you forgave me. [19:35:30] ( DIsclaimer: Do not crucify me. :( ) [19:35:40] Can I drink your blood and eat your flesh [19:35:42] ? [19:36:06] D: [19:36:10] That last part is pretty kinky for a vampire. [19:36:18] [15:47:48] Hey Nova, we found a thread you might like [19:36:18] [15:47:52] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3223212 [19:36:35] I saw it yesterday. It's interesting. [19:36:35] Oh, and there was something about... athas dragonborn? [19:36:51] But listen, guys. [19:36:55] They're actually interesting, for one. [19:36:56] Nova, I'm really not sure how to say this, exactly, but...I don't think Dem's the only one who you owe an apology for last night. [19:37:04] Brb, eating dinner. :3 [19:37:32] You're right. Walking out on the game was wrong. [19:39:35] I ruined everyone's night by pitching a fit. But here's the thing, the way I acted was absolutely wrong, but I stand by my position. The only thing that I can take at face value is what your characters do and say. If that's not how you want to play, then we're all free to decide to play something else where I don't DM. [19:40:09] Can you see stuff from our position, though? [19:40:41] Well, I think I made it pretty clear that I don't have an issue with that last night. [19:40:56] I understand that it's common sense. But I also think it's common sense that I can't be a mind reader. And I also think everyone should realize that "common sense" isn't all that communal, and we might all have different ideas about what common sense is. [19:41:06] If you're going to have a character fly off at the handle and spit in out faces, you have to expect an equal reaction to be safe roleplay out of us before the npc is going to attack us. [19:41:26] Rusty: I have absolutely no problem with the reaction anyone had to Shezna attacking. [19:41:30] That isn't the issue. [19:42:02] I have a problem with people arguing that she should have been restrained and had her weapon taken away when nothing of the sort was ever said in-character. [19:42:05] I don't even know why all the yelling started :( [19:42:42] To be honest, I assumed she was already tied up and the weapons put in someone's backpack in the time between this session and the last [19:42:55] Didn't I say, twice, that she wasn't restrained? [19:43:25] Why would we want to roleplay tying her up? [19:43:36] I don't want to try out my french bowlines or anything. [19:43:55] That's... kinda the thing. I don't really want to go /me ties up Shezna. It doesn't seem like something AUrora would do. [19:44:10] You guys didn't tie her up yet. [19:44:10] You guys saw when I said you never tied her up, right? [19:44:51] Because if you don't roleplay it, Rusty, it doesn't happen. [19:45:14] You don't have to go into detail about it, but making sure it gets done includes someone emoting it. [19:45:16] But man, why wouldn't you just be like "Oh, well, the group is assuming they have her tied up, so let's just assume for the scene that it did." [19:45:37] Because I said, twice, that she wasn't tied up, and everyone was like "yeah okay" [19:45:39] Man, I really don't roleplay it out every time Phanos takes a shit. [19:45:51] But I'm sure it happens. [19:46:03] Yes, that arguement does not hold water with me. [19:46:08] Also, it seemed to me that she just gave up. [19:46:24] Right, Dem. [19:46:30] Like, she was crying and all. [19:46:38] You might have thought she gave up, and your character might have assumed that fight was out of her. [19:47:05] But when that proved not to be the case, I don't like you going back, changing your mind, and saying that you didn't assume the fight was out of her and that you tied her up just to make sure. [19:47:09] Eh, well, I pay more attention to the IC channel than anything else. [19:48:01] Here's the thing. All we have is what we type out. It's the only thing that's real. Everyone is imagining their own version of the characters and the situation. The only thing that is common between us is what we type. [19:48:52] I'm not a mind reader. I will not attempt to read minds. I will assume that your character takes automatic bodily functions because those are automatic bodily functions and you have to conciously choose not to do them otherwise. [19:49:13] Well, regardless of whether she was tied up, she punched me, so I reacted. [19:49:14] And I feel rather silly for having to type out the difference between breathing being automatic and hostage handling being automatic. [19:49:27] That's perfectly, totally, 100% fine Rusty. [19:49:40] I would have been 110% with Phanos deciding to kill her as well. [19:49:43] It honestly didn't matter to me whether she was tied up. Phanos showed her what was cooler than being cool. [19:49:46] ICE COLD. [19:50:05] Have you, like, ever, in any media, ever seen someone fuck up taking a hostage in such a basic way? That's basically the crux of my argument [19:50:25] Like, if it ever happens, it's only to illustrate that the hostage takers are dicks-in-ears retarded. [19:50:36] I just did not wish to be the recipient of any yelling, and would have preferred to like, tie her up and ask her questions meanly. That would have been funny. [19:50:50] Well Aurora apparently just assumed the fight was out of her. And thats how I was reading the situation from the rest of you, after I reminded everyone *Twice* that she wasn't restrained. [19:51:06] I could have gotten to do all sorts of really bizarre voodoo rituals that made to apparent sense. [19:51:06] I didn't even see that shit. [19:51:43] "WHEREYOUBEHIDINDEMCHANGYMON?!" [19:51:53] *Shakes bone rattle* [19:51:55] It doesn't change the fact that, according to Dem, Aurora wasn't going to tie her up, and in fact just thought she had given up. So "common sense" wasn't applying to Aurora just then. [19:52:38] I understand it's common sense. I just also think it's common sense that you type it out. [19:52:48] I'm kind of the opinion that basic competancy is something heroes should opt out of, which is why I usually directly say "Are you sure you want to do (something stupid)", but that's just me. [19:52:52] And that's how I will run games, because, again, I'm not a mind reader. [19:53:06] I did say that, Charles, twice. [19:53:15] Man, just don't get mad. [19:53:28] "She isn't tied up yet..." "You guys saw me say she wasn't restrained, right?" [19:53:32] I saw it more like... as a reminder, rather than "Tie her up, or something bad will happen". [19:54:17] Rusty: I know. I'm working on that with my therapist. My anger issues lately are a major reason why she thinks I should consider taking medication. [19:54:22] * Demota nods [19:55:00] Well, man, you know, I'd suggest a remedy, but, you know.. [19:55:00] Make sure you talk to her about a plan to get off them eventually, too. YOu don't wanna become reliant on them. And you don't want to get on them, then get off them, and revert either [19:55:33] Rusty, I'm scared of taking any mind-altering drug. [19:55:58] I hate it when people look at weed like it's LSD. [19:56:03] I'm pretty resistant to the idea as it is. I don't want to end up a functioning vegetable. [19:56:15] Rusty, I look at benedryl as a mind-altering substance. [19:56:32] You should look into the actual medical effects of it. [19:56:48] Not the spooky fda shit. [19:57:09] I don't think Nova's interested, plain and simple. [19:57:15] You're a functioning vegetable right now, it's just that you're a ragecabbage. :| [19:57:18] Rusty, are you denying pot has more of a mood-altering effect than over the counter medicine? [19:57:34] As for other meds... well, have you discussed alternatives with your therapist? [19:57:35] Hell yes. Nyquil can fuck you up. [19:57:44] Well, fair's fair, I hate it when people constantly suggest weed as the solution to problems. [19:57:57] Weed can be a solution to anger. [19:58:03] It calms you down. [19:58:07] But anger isn't my problem. [19:58:09] Depression is. [19:58:15] Makes you happy too. [19:58:21] My anger issues are stemming from it. [19:58:51] Look, I can't possibly profit in any way from telling you to do it. [19:59:08] I'm not accusing you of trying to make profit off me [19:59:27] I just think that if you look into it, without anyone pressuring you, that it might be a viable solution to your problems [19:59:39] I understand, rusty, trust me. Almost all of my college friends smoke pot and think it's god's gift to mankind. [19:59:50] I know, man, but I've got other people in the channel breathing up my ass about it. [20:00:03] I don't even care if it works or not, I'm just sick of pot smokers being more missionary about it than most religions. [20:00:11] Well that's another issue [20:00:13] heh [20:00:17] I don't think the shit cures cancer. [20:00:25] I just think it calms you down and makes you happy. [20:00:50] It's also less hamrful than alcohol and doesn't give you a hangover, so it's less of a vice. [20:02:09] All things I agree with. [20:02:20] But I still don't want to try it. [20:02:35] That's cool, man. [20:03:06] Meditation might help, maybe? I dunno [20:03:46] I downloaded this really good Common remix CD. [20:03:49] Dunno if I'm much for meditation [20:03:57] It really helps me get into a good mood. [20:04:02] Is it something you're open to, at least? [20:04:16] More open to than chems, anyway [20:04:17] Not really? I just think it'd be boring. [20:04:47] It's boring like anything calming is boring [20:04:59] Like it's not a "FUCK YEAH I'M MEDITATING" thing, but it's pleasant [20:05:11] You could try Tae Kwan Do. KUNYAE! [20:05:23] I think it's worth a try, at least. I mean, you can't really argue against it being addictive or chemically bad for you [20:05:31] heh [20:05:44] I mean, just sitting down and doing nothing.... I'd rather go play a videogame? [20:06:28] Well, it's not doing nothing. [20:06:31] It's either that, or getting by with a little help from your friends like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and being a Walrus. [20:06:36] It's focusing your thoughts on something. [20:06:56] Like, prayer is a form of meditation, it's just not as sexy because it doesn't have the asian trappings [20:07:04] I did some LSD this weekend. That shit was crazy. [20:08:06] hah [20:08:22] Wow, okay, why? [20:08:31] I was dressed as the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. [20:08:43] Why what? [20:08:46] The White Rabbit doesn't normally hold an AK. [20:08:59] He only holds it to defend the AMerican-Mexican border [20:09:21] Why would anyone do LSD nowadays? [20:09:36] Look, man, we're all little ants on this tiny little pebble in this big open universe that's probably just a grain of sand in an even bigger one. May as well be an ant on LSD. [20:09:43] Why 'nowadays'? [20:09:55] It sounds like you think LSD is quaint or something [20:10:07] LSD is a granny drug. [20:10:14] THe cool kids these days use Spank. [20:10:38] Well I mean, we see people that did LSD back when they were young and they're still fucked up and some still have flashbacks? [20:10:42] ( I have no idea what that is, I just know it's in GTA3. ) [20:10:46] The cool kids these days use Superadyne. :| [20:10:50] hhahahahaa [20:10:52] Well, they did a LOT of it. [20:10:53] Like, LSD to me seems like the hardest non-snorting drug. [20:10:57] And had bad trips. [20:10:59] (troll goods, best goods) [20:11:10] And X is the hardest non snorting drug. [20:11:14] I did that when I was 16. [20:11:22] X is worse than LSD? [20:11:25] Oh yeah. [20:11:38] Alright, my narcotics hierchy is ill-informed then [20:11:43] X isn't really made with MDMA anymore, man, it's got all kinds of bad shit in it. [20:11:50] Like meth, heroin, cocaine. [20:11:54] It's a drug cocktail. [20:12:08] Speed, PCP. [20:12:15] PCP is bad shit. [20:12:28] Don't ever do PCP. It'll make you murder people. [20:12:32] Oh geez. I've only heard stories about PCP and it sounds horrifying [20:12:32] Yeah, LSD is, I think, relatively mild. [20:12:38] Like... [20:12:42] You know Rock Lee in Naruto? [20:12:48] PCP makes you into him in real life. [20:12:52] Granted, that's relative on a scale that ramps up pretty high after pot in my perception [20:12:57] PCP makes you into Ben Grimm IRL [20:13:07] Reefer madness if like what actually happens when you do PCP. [20:13:10] *is [20:13:27] LSD is mild, shrooms are more powerful. [20:13:33] Pot is more mild than alcohol. [20:13:54] Yeah, but alcohol gets a pass for being, like, the primal drink. [20:13:55] "reefer madness"? [20:14:01] Smoking pot is less harmful than eating. [20:14:13] It's a sensationalist movie about how marijuana will turn you into a psychotic murderer [20:14:17] Yep. [20:14:37] It's supposedly hilarious, even to people outside of drug people [20:14:52] haha [20:15:00] One puff is enough to turn you into a psychotic killing machine. [20:15:11] To be fair, that's why I don't smoke pot on my hands [20:15:12] hahahaha [20:15:17] FUCK [20:15:20] Screwed that joke up [20:15:31] on your hands? @_@ [20:15:37] I meant to say "That's why I don't smoke pot anymore", then I was gonna say "On account of all the blood on my hands" [20:15:46] hahahaha [20:15:50] And then I thought "Maybe it'd be funnier if I said "Is this a dagger I see before me?" [20:16:13] And while I was thinking about that, I smashed the first two together when my train of thought went off the rails. [20:17:10] hahahah [20:17:13] heh [20:17:18] Man, i'm glad we're all having fun together again [20:17:44] Yeah... I was really worried... [20:18:01] It was cool. The ground was cold, so I looked down and it was as if we were calf-to-ankle-deep in ice cubes. I ran into a girl that was dressed as alice, and we ended up going upstairs, and in the bedroom there was this wallpaper with swuirrels on it, and it was like "yeah dude!" [20:18:19] Like, you know how calling something "unforgivable" apparently has more weight in japan? Like, it's really strong language? I was beginning to understand why. [20:18:29] I decided to become marginally more like Jesus and forgive being a douche and running out on the game yesterday. [20:18:41] Because, really, when you're as close as I am already, you can only make incremental improvements [20:18:50] hahaha [20:19:05] Hah, I just thought about that Unforgivable youtube video [20:19:59] Sliptime to after school? [20:20:07] And... whose house were you going to again? [20:20:41] Oh geeze you guys are playing [20:20:53] Yeah. [20:22:13] I would guess Berny's place, considering how Kentaro and Megumi feel about spending time at their homes. :V [20:22:49] haha [20:23:04] Well, just roleplay at school til Maha gets back [20:23:47] I think this is probably one of my favorite moments. [20:23:50] [19:13:03] * Kentaro nods. "Yeah. If I don't graduate, I might have to go back to eating out of trash cans." [20:23:50] [19:13:54] Kentaro! [20:23:50] [19:14:31] What? It's not so bad. I found a bag of shrimp once! [20:23:50] [19:14:54] * Berny gulps and looks a bit paler. "Didn't it make you sick?" [20:23:50] [19:15:02] Naaaah. [20:23:50] [19:15:05] Maybe. [20:23:50] [19:15:06] Nah. [20:23:50] [19:16:43] I'm pretty sure it did... it's... well, you were rolling around after that, but you do that sometimes anyway. [20:23:50] [19:17:18] It's fun! [20:23:50] [19:17:59] Well, let's make sure you -do- graduate, then. [20:30:24] Hahahah http://nedroid.com/2009/10/extremely-not-safe-for-work/ [20:31:02] hahahaha [20:31:14] Ahahahahah http://nedroid.com/2009/10/cat-whisperer/ [20:32:03] I don't get it. [20:32:05] http://nedroid.com/2009/10/best-friends-forever/ This is probably how Kentaro and Miki met. :| [20:32:15] Is that a reference to that "drr, drr, drr" horror manga? [20:32:25] The cat says "Murrrrr" like purring. Then it says "Durrrrrr" [20:32:31] Put those together. [20:32:52] ahahahahaha [20:33:23] (Also, the BFF one is hilarious too) [20:33:34] "I hope this guy becomes my best friend! :unsmith:" [20:34:04] The fun part is figuring out when the last panel takes place [20:34:09] Yeah [20:34:23] I think, going by the posture and expression, it's right before Reginald hisses at Beartato [20:34:34] haha [20:36:15] http://nedroid.com/2009/10/creative-liberties/ I really like this, but I can't tell why [20:38:19] http://nedroid.com/2009/11/barthreelomew/ Hahahah [20:38:45] ooh! [20:39:09] This is the same guy that did that illustration of the robot I fell in love with. [20:39:39] http://nedroid.com/shopimages/autumnstroll.jpg I love this robot. [20:39:58] Oh, wow [20:40:01] That's a beautiful robot [20:40:55] I love him. :unsmith: [20:44:03] http://aussie-nintendo.com/news/20182/ Oh, Nova, I want this game to come out in the US. :( [20:47:36] http://www.engrish.com/2005/02/t-shirt/ Kentaro almost assuredly has this shirt [20:48:26] ..... [20:48:36] ahahaahahahahahaah [20:48:41] 100 copies hahahahaha [20:48:48] ;_; [20:49:41] Oh, Nova, Mass Effect is $10 on Steam this... [20:49:45] wait, your birthday. [20:49:48] ... [20:49:49] You already have it [20:49:52] Are you serious? [20:49:55] Yeah [20:50:09] I was thinking about buying a few copies to stock up for CHristmas. Still thinking on it. [20:50:14] I mean, about forgettign you already got me it? ^_^; [20:51:00] Yeah. I forget a lot of things. :( [20:51:24] heh [20:51:27] The "Nova would LOVE to play Mass Effect" part of my brain probably takes priority over "Nova owns Mass Effect" [20:51:38] Probably because it lacks the "Nova has played Mass Effect" linker [20:51:45] haha [20:51:50] I haven't played it [20:52:02] Oh you mean thats why you forget [20:56:30] Yeah [20:57:09] heh [20:57:57] ahahahaha [20:58:04] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya6oJMmd92k [20:58:31] chemistry.com match's first-impression tag-line "looking for my prince chaming" [20:58:37] [sic] [20:58:52] hahah [20:59:55] Man, I know that raccoons are kinda dangerous and they're a pest in a lot of places, but I still think they're cute [21:00:14] Oh man, awesome. [21:00:40] This last worksheet tells me to make a lesson plan that includes a game, and off the top of my head I picked prepositional phrases [21:00:48] Ooh [21:00:49] And then I realized that Clue is, like, *all* prepositional phrases. [21:01:01] In the library, with the candlestick. In the conservatory, with the revolver. [21:02:02] heh [21:05:47] ...ahahahaha [21:06:24] http://img.waffleimages.com/771f279f2f280c48d343c17b2f33a605efa818aa/1155058625-00.jpg YEAH! BURN! FUCKEN YEAAAAH!

[21:06:48] hahahaha [21:07:38] Hahahaha, didn't take long for someone to post Phalanx. [21:09:36] * Adyen (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177733809.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #Exalted [21:09:41] Hiyo [21:10:00] Hey Adyen. [21:10:12] Hey Adyen. WElcome back [21:10:40] Go ahead and get IC and into channel. It's lunch [21:11:08] Oh, I think I'll just sit this one out. You guys been at this for a while, and I'm a bit tired after facing people who think 2+2=22. [21:11:23] I'll watch, tho. [21:11:24] Geez. What happened in that meeting? [21:11:48] It's a management meeting. Read: The management talks and we have to give feedback. [21:12:16] Guess what? It's mainly about what people complaine about. [21:12:47] Whooo, finished my last TEFOL worksheet for the main course [21:12:51] Grats [21:12:55] Sorry, dudes. Have to help out with some family stuff. I'll be back as soon as I can. [21:12:57] When is dessert? [21:12:58] k [21:13:21] Well, pretty soon, they're gonna send me the shorter course about teaching for children [21:16:38] Ahahahah [21:16:38] ZorbaTHut posted: [21:16:38] On a slightly different tack, the X-COM intro movie is infamous for being as technically inaccurate as humanly possible while still getting the feel of the game pretty much dead-on. [21:16:38] To be fair, an intro movie that showed soldiers panicking, dropping their weapons and shooting each other like retards might not have made you want to play. [21:16:46] haaaaaaaaahahahah [21:16:53] Hahahaha [21:17:02] I kinda want to see that, done to Yakkety Sax [21:17:28] Yeah [21:18:02] hahaha [21:18:12] Man, I really want to get Torchlight. [21:18:40] Torchlight looks like fun. Though I should hold off [21:18:57] Hahahhaah [21:19:14] Final Gloom posted: [21:19:14] And it's not a videogame but I thought this was so awesome when saw this in my mom's collection I was 5: [21:19:14] http://waffleimages.nwpshost.com/files/ba/ba38cb6dd744397a98f5cd11ba2faa28a7324754.jpg [21:19:14] I was sorely mistaken :colbert: [21:19:24] You take that back right now Final Gloom. I swear, I will fight you. [21:19:25] [edit] [21:19:25] Not really. I would do anything for Meat Loaf, but I wont do that. [21:22:37] hahaa [21:22:45] I really want Torchlight too, but no multiplayer is kind of a letdown [21:22:53] Actually I kinda like it. [21:23:09] I think I prefer Diablo as a single-player experience. [21:23:09] I heard some fans are trying to patch multiplayer in [21:23:16] The devs are saying that if they can do it, they'll hir ethem [21:23:22] haha nice [21:23:29] Heh [21:24:00] Hah, that's pretty damn cool. [21:24:18] Whoop, getting a PDF of an RPG called Qin: The Warring States [21:24:22] Ahahahaha, this is a good one. [21:24:34] Catellite posted: [21:24:34] Also, I feel obligated to say that, as gorgeous as the Roger Dean art on Psygnosis games was, it basically never corresponded in any way to the game. [21:24:34] http://scuttle.mirror.waffleimages.com/data/files/7d/7d78caeb9ed8815491b08a7bf8a362afcb45b686.jpg [21:24:34] Yes, a computerised version of the old Crossfire boardgame is exactly what I'd think of if I saw a bomb-wielding jetpack-demon. [21:24:36] Though the White Wolf-style naming syntax is kind of a mindfuck when I saw it at Myriad [21:24:48] Hahahahahhah [21:24:54] Then someone points out that they plagiarised the game's cover from a Judas Priest album. :V [21:25:47] heee [21:29:06] I dunno if I should read Qin or Weapons of the Gods [21:29:17] I think I only have headspace for one wuxia RPG [21:29:18] What's Qin? [21:29:43] Wow, I forgot how creepy the Bust a Move cover was. [21:29:46] It's an RPG about warring states china [21:29:59] http://phuzion.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/1b/1bcd89cbc093fca20d93291d2de420187fb767d2.jpg :cry: [21:30:16] ... [21:30:18] What the HELL? [21:30:22] It's designed in layers, ranging from historal, to normal wuxia, to crazytown mythology [21:30:29] huh, cool [21:31:03] I like RPGs as layers. Like Paranoia's styles [21:34:32] Ya, but Paranoia is layering your lives. >_> [21:34:50] "Oh, you died? On to your next clone!" [21:35:10] Not quite what we meant [21:35:23] There is a Rogue Trader PDF, now, Dem. I think [21:35:33] Someone in RPG books just did a send request for it [21:35:56] Oh, cool. I'll grab it later [21:38:00] http://img.waffleimages.com/b26bdd0f607ddc6cd276329c42daf4c81a1536ec/mm2_novel.png Hahahahah, you're shitting me [21:38:10] I read that novel [21:38:12] They removed the gun and the laser. AND DIDN'T REPLACE THEM [21:38:13] It was... retarded. [21:38:15] hahahah [21:39:31] man... I just realized, I'm excited about playing P3 over again, after I finish my max s.link P4 run. [21:39:41] Cause I never did a max-link P3 run. [21:39:58] I'm not sure I wanna play the PSP version with the female protagonist, though. [21:40:11] Well, it's adding a lot of stuff [21:40:16] Like a visit to Inaba. [21:40:28] Oh yeah? [21:40:30] The female protagonist is a choice, anyway. [21:40:34] true [21:40:37] I read that as "A visit to India" [21:40:40] hahahaha [21:40:40] haha [21:40:54] And was kind of doubletake [21:41:05] I thought it was just the FES Journey with the female protag added [21:41:14] Nope [21:41:19] hm [21:41:26] New costumes, new models, new social links, female protagonist... [21:41:33] Oh [21:41:38] And SEES is controllable [21:41:44] oooh! [21:41:49] Good! [21:41:55] You don't HAVE to trust the AI to not cast Marin Karin when you're about to die. [21:41:58] One of the reasons I like P4's combat more. [21:42:17] Another being Downing doesn't skip a turn. [21:42:48] Alright, I think I'll go for the psp version. [21:42:52] MARIN FUCKING KARIN! :mitsuruawesome: [21:42:55] I hear there's a downloadable version? [21:43:03] ...She did that to you guys a lot? [21:43:05] hahaha [21:43:06] Yeah [21:43:08] Yep! [21:43:08] That never happened to me. [21:43:12] Hell, there was even a comic about it [21:43:16] hahaha [21:43:21] Panel 1: Minato asks for healing. [21:43:21] All the damn time. :argh: [21:43:24] For me, the AI was mostly amazing. [21:43:26] When I told Jen there was going to be a female protagonist, she didn't really care because she already played through imagining that Minato was a lesbian. :V [21:43:30] Speaking of which, I'd just like to remind Dem that Emmy said she'll deal with the weather thing. [21:43:33] Panel 2: Marin Fucking Karin. MItsuru with Awesomeface. [21:43:35] hahaha [21:43:49] Panel 3: Nyoro~n [21:43:55] Panel 4: Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey. [21:44:01] heh [21:44:06] Yeah, I remember, Adyen [21:44:16] I thought panel 3 was a slow zoom on Minato looking more and more :smith: [21:44:17] Emmy's not around though, so Natsuki's just asking the people who are there [21:45:00] Also, I found a way to breeze through the second play of P4, even though you lose your levels and equipment and all your high level "god mode" personas for early dungeosn have skills with prohibitive SP costs. [21:45:09] Physical skills! [21:45:18] Since they go off a percentage of your max hp [21:45:21] Those just cost percentages of... yeah [21:45:21] Well, I was kinda mentioning cause Megumi seems to be trying to do something and Emmy's letting them, tho Natsuki should know about Emmy's promise. [21:45:22] Niiiice [21:45:34] And I have Thor with Arms Master and Deathbound. [21:45:34] What's Megumi doing? [21:48:14] Oh, I just mean from last week. [21:48:34] Aah [21:51:06] Persona 1 is also pretty weird with how they do skills [21:51:17] ...ahahahahah [21:51:19] Like, all skills of the persona cost the same amount, regardless of power [21:51:27] http://img.waffleimages.com/40f96f87b36ee1ed8b1f1fbec5970284e8da1270/evony-lover.jpg http://img.waffleimages.com/c0fec4bbd90dec862c4bebefa55232b8ae03b704/ Plants-Vs-Zombies-Evony-parody.jpg I love Popcap [21:51:46] Yeah. :D [21:51:58] huh. Odd [21:52:37] And apparently there's like... your character level, your persona level, your persona's level, and your persona's rank. [21:52:51] :suicide: [21:52:54] the middle two might be the same, I'm not sure. [21:53:32] Your persona gains more abilities the higher it's rank is, 1 through 8 [21:53:40] You raise its rank by invoking it. [21:53:56] And by invoking, I just mean using it's skills [21:54:29] Heh [21:54:56] What the hell IS Evony and why are they trying to get me to sign up for medieval porn? [21:55:17] Evony is a Civilization ripoff in a browser. [21:55:24] It's got NOTHING to do with medieval porn. [21:55:25] It's also run by gold farmers [21:55:32] You can't "save the princess" or whatever [21:57:09] Apparently now they've stopped even trying to justify it and it's just a boob shot with a signup box. :V [21:57:16] hahahaha [21:57:27] Versatile Duelist [21:57:29] Prerequisite: Rogue [21:57:29] Benefit: You gain proficiency with all one- handed, military heavy blades. If a rogue power requires you to wield a light blade, you can use that power with a one-handed heavy blade and can also deal your Sneak Attack damage while using a one- handed heavy blade with that power. [21:57:43] Hell yeah, sneak attacking with a bastard sword [21:58:13] bastard swords aren't military [21:58:25] they're superior [21:58:38] Oh [21:58:39] Oh wait [21:58:41] Yeah, but the second part of the power doesn't define proficiency type [21:58:43] the second part [21:58:49] :awesome: [21:58:54] Fucking sword roges. [21:59:06] It's too bad they got rid of the extendable weapon [21:59:14] They did?! :( [21:59:26] Or else you'd have rogues sneak attacking with nine foot long one-handed polearm swords [21:59:49] Yeah, they stopped huffing crack out of a broken lightbulb and realized it was the best enchantment in the game [22:00:15] Aw man. [22:00:23] I wanted to huff that crack [22:00:26] I might houserule it back in, with the reach being a daily power that lasts for an encounter, but I dunno. [22:02:16] Ahahahahahahhahaha [22:02:34] http://img.waffleimages.com/652a21c062f8e4cc59ac8dc0b11d1f5c9498aa8c/corporateraider.jpg I get to be a pirate and raid Wall Street?

I should play just to follow up that comment behind him. [22:09:15] Hahahahha, and then someone posts the Simcity box and talks about how confusing it is, and then someone follows up with "What is that man doing to his..." and then the whole thread just freaks out going "OH FUCK CAN'T UNSEE" [22:09:59] What box? [22:10:18] http://img.waffleimages.com/77d311de8b04c2038ff332fcf824cf9ae42e1029/simcity_classic_cover_art.jpg [22:11:19] ahahaha [22:11:31] wow, I didn't see the "play DESCRETELY" ads before. [22:11:32] No, Megumi does not actually see Emmy, she's just trying to freak Kentaro out. :V [22:11:48] damnit! I was going to change my nick to scare him! [22:11:51] :P [22:12:04] Yo ucould approach from the opposite direction he looks at. [22:12:12] lol [22:14:10] And then ask, "What's so funny?" [22:14:32] Yon: What man? [22:15:29] oh wow [22:15:30] Oh, I'm reading an AAR on the Iroquois in EU3. It is awesome in its ownage. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=384744 [22:15:39] SMT: Strange Journey is the true successor to Nocturne? [22:15:58] Wasn't Nocturne the one with the antichrist flying off to go kill god? [22:16:05] He wasn't the Antichrist [22:16:20] Wasn't he lucifer's son? [22:16:27] The demifiend. [22:16:33] that was it [22:16:34] He wasn't Lucifer's son [22:16:38] He was the Demifiend, which means he was just human enough to have free will, but not human enough to actually get a new world prototype [22:16:39] More his intern. [22:17:01] Matt once played a EU3 game where the Mayans modernized, converted to Christianity, and invaded mainland Europe [22:17:51] Ya, but I live in Canada, so Iroquois are more awesome. :cobert: [22:17:57] Which really makes me happy. Jaguar Templars all tearing down Vatican City and building giant ziggurats in its place, sacrificing the old pope to Jesus [22:18:00] Nova: Look at the screen in the top left of the box. Now look at the border of the screen. Now put your mind in the gutter.

[22:22:09] How awake is everyone? [22:22:15] Mostly asleep [22:22:30] Also, hahaha, 52 wars is pretty incredible [22:22:32] I need to stay awake for a few more hours to change my internal clock. [22:22:41] Alright. Should we end here? [22:22:45] I'm awake but completely :downs: and kind of mentally exhausted. [22:23:05] I forgot to take my medication before bed yesterday so my brain isn't working properly today. :( [22:23:09] >_> The Iroquois is taking over the world man!
