Start of #Exalted buffer: Fri Dec 18 00:05:32 2009 [16:31:58] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-67-121-125-76.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #Exalted [16:32:18] Hey Maha [16:32:46] Hey, Maha [16:32:49] hi Maha [16:33:00] Hiya. [16:34:44] Hahahah [16:34:49] Hey [16:34:59] "Did you see 2012? Every single second sucks, but what a great movie!" [16:36:56] o.o [16:37:06] I didn't watch it. [16:37:34] I Love Movies is maybe my favorite new podcast [16:37:43] Well, new to me [16:37:53] Movie reviews? [16:37:54] My father reccomended it, and it's maybe proof that our tastes still overlap [16:38:27] It's a commedian and two commedian guests bullshitting for an hour, with movies vaguely being the topic [16:38:32] Haha [16:38:44] hahahahaha [16:39:32] ORE NO TURN [16:39:53] The host is talking about how he doesn't want people recording his show. "I don't want people putting my show on Youtube because people might see that and think 'Why should I see him live? He's inaudible and blurry.'" [16:40:06] Yuugi [16:40:59] Oh, Maha [16:41:06] There might be a short term game around here if you're interseted [16:42:02] I'm always interested, but it might be hard for me to find time. [16:42:07] HANASE [16:42:13] Huh. The new WoW CCG set introduces Nerubians as a faction [16:47:27] * Demota nods [16:47:32] Well, we dunno a time for it yet... [16:47:43] * Berny nods. [16:47:49] Let me know. If I can play, I will. :) [16:50:24] sure [16:51:00] :) [16:52:11] http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/news/samwise-interview-12-09.html Interview about pandraren [16:54:29] http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv299/onedarkheart/monkeytitsandbloodygibs.jpg [16:54:31] :3 [16:57:28] I am not sure what is going on [16:59:33] It is simple! [16:59:34] Hahhaa, they keep talking about how Losing It wasn't a comedy, but it was supposed to be [16:59:42] What I made for a game, that the DM saw, and how I played! [17:00:05] Is it relevant to anything that's happened in, like, the last four days? :| [17:00:26] Sadly, no. :( [17:01:21] :( [17:02:45] I wonder if anyone would be interested in giving WFRP a try if I got everything scanned in. [17:04:36] I would [17:04:53] http://gamepolitics.com/2009/12/17/island-decries-%E2%80%9Cvideo-boxes%E2%80%9D-school-organizes-violen t-game-drive VIDEO BOXES [17:04:54] Man, I like how the big prize of I Love Movies is whoever wins the contest gets to choose who the host calls a shithead [17:06:03] ...Resident Evil 4 is on their list? [17:06:07] But not 5? [17:06:13] And 50 cent BUlletproof [17:06:16] But not Blood on the Sand [17:06:20] (also there is no game known as Resident Evil 4) [17:06:33] Hahahahahhaha NARC is on the list. [17:06:35] That's amazing [17:06:56] I got in trouble for playing that game. [17:07:01] TWENTY YEARS AGO [17:07:22] hahah [17:07:36] I also like how half the games on the list are not the most recent game in a series. [17:07:48] Yeah. It's probablyt largely copied from that one list that keeps making the rounds [17:07:58] So every once in a while, people get in an outrage about NARC and Killer7 [17:08:00] San Andreas but not GTA4. 4RE but not 5. Bulletproof but not Blood on the Sand [17:08:17] #Youkai open [17:09:16] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [17:10:32] How long you wanna wait for AdyeN? [17:14:02] I dunno. I'm gonna go make dinner now, ask me when I get back [17:15:13] k [17:22:06] Anyway Maha, that possible game starting up is HeroQuest. It's a game about mythology. Like, the setting was literally made as an exercise at coming up with something similar to mythological stuff [17:22:30] * Berny nods. [17:22:38] It sounds fun. [17:24:48] What the HELL? http://img.waffleimages.com/d6b9cf077fc8624cecaf57e8fe0640212f79329f/1261086051124.png#v ia=salr [17:26:13] Man, I keep trying to figure out if this girl in my guild is using 'my girlfriend' like gay women do or like straight women do, but it's not coming to me :( [17:27:35] Hehe. [17:27:47] It can be pretty ambiguous. '_' [17:31:02] I need to shake myself out of this. [17:31:09] Maybe WFRP will provide an interesting enough read [17:39:17] Okay, I'm back [17:39:45] Wb. [17:40:09] Hi [17:40:23] Let's wait 20 [17:41:22] Sure. [17:41:45] Works for me [17:41:52] Dem: Also, you could read Heroquest stuff [17:42:05] It might be a good idea to read about the various cultures before we settle on Heortlings [17:42:59] * Demota nods [17:55:42] ALright, about 5 minutes [17:57:07] ehn, let's start. [17:57:12] * Yon is now known as Megumi [17:59:13] I'm gonna be a little distacted. Cooking. [18:00:51] wait, what? Drivethru is selling WFRP. [18:01:03] 2 or 3? [18:01:04] ... oooh. Okay, it's just the main rulebook, and states that it isn't th ecomplete game [18:01:05] 3. [18:01:07] Aaah [18:01:13] http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=68986&src=newsletter [18:01:33] For this price, it's interesting, becuase it openly acknowledges that this is a supplement to the full game. [18:03:40] Heeey, arcanums are account-bound now [18:05:07] Wierd. Goodman Games is selling Dragonmech pdfs? [18:05:11] I thought that was a White Wolf thing [18:05:17] It's got the Swords and Sorcery imprint [18:18:54] I don't get it. :( [18:19:16] Do you remember last session? :| [18:20:17] Oooh. The picture [18:24:15] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3241516 The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > Play Age of Conan for Free... FOREVER [18:24:24] The game's allegedly pulled a 180 since launch [18:24:33] " [18:24:33] So, basically if you sign up before the end of the year, you can play 1-20 (Tortage with all its PVP and PVE glory) for free forever. http://www.ageofconan.com/trial " [18:25:49] Whoo, made an account, now to ignore it. [18:26:11] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.127.179) has joined #Exalted [18:26:26] Sorry guys, had to help plan a Xmas party next week. [18:26:28] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [18:26:36] Well, it's a better offer than the one WAR has at least. :V [18:27:01] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3232940 The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > Audiosurf Christmas Competition [18:27:22] Currently, it involves a huge 8 person game of Arkham horror. [18:27:39] Oh, nice? [18:27:41] What expansions? [18:27:55] ALL of them [18:28:24] Tho Dunwich raped our face last time we tried it. >_> [18:28:27] :( [18:28:46] Arkham Horror is my favorite game that I refuse to play. [18:30:22] >_> We once played a game (with my friends) for 8 hours and lost. [18:31:13] * Megumi signs up for the trial. "Might as well. I always wanted to check out BEST NEWBIE ZONE EVER." [18:31:38] Aw. :( [18:31:41] I've never lost it, but damned if it doesn't take too much time and space to play [18:31:44] Oh, Adyen [18:31:47] I have a recommendation for you [18:31:48] I wish WoW let me annotate my friends list [18:31:50] Dominion. [18:31:56] Played it [18:31:59] Opinion? [18:32:10] It's ok. The expansion is kinda meh tho. [18:32:34] Cha: There's mods for that! [18:32:38] Hahahha [18:32:41] * Kentaro nods [18:32:49] You'll get more options, but I don't like the fact that you can only have a certain amount of cards per game. [18:33:01] And it's kinda quick once you get into the game. [18:33:16] * Demota nods [18:33:43] It's still fun, but the challange is all in the players, so if you got good players, it'll be fun. [18:34:16] I've got two friends who are pretty into deckbuilding [18:34:28] Limiting card choice is, like, the most interesting part of the game. [18:34:41] If you had everything all the time, it'd just be a race for the most broke-ass stuff in the set [18:34:43] It is, but only if you choose it. [18:34:50] Random is random, you know? [18:34:53] I even have a mod that marks people who I consider fuckheads but haven't actually ignored when they chat. :V [18:35:05] Haha. That's useful. [18:35:06] hahaha [18:35:22] Yeah, but sometimes that's good. Totally random reminds me of for-real drafting where sometimes you have to try to make something good out of jank [18:35:38] The thing for me is, like, half my friends list is crafters I like to patronize [18:35:44] I mean, generally I only play random. [18:35:48] In the 'give them business' sense, not the 'talk down to' sense [18:35:58] But I have NO idea what they do [18:36:15] So I have to go down my list and keep saying "Hey, do you cut gems?" [18:36:52] Haha [18:36:57] ... oh! Um. What's it. Adyen. You wanna learn how to play a really cool dice game? It's called Roll Through The Ages. I figure dit oculd be cool if we set aside a day as an event to play it [18:36:59] (like the dipshit who got kicked out of a heroic for sucking but then refused to leave the instance so they couldn't bring replacements in, and then tried to form a RAID FOR IT. He TRIED TO RAID A FIVE MAN INSTANCE.) [18:37:10] hahahaha [18:37:14] o_0 [18:39:04] So it's nice when he's trying to form a group for something in trade chat and I get to call him out on being a retard. :V [18:39:10] Roll Through The Ages is the best game this year [18:39:22] When's the next day you're free? [18:39:28] Or at least, that's what our holiday gift guide claims [18:39:29] It's Trade Chat. [18:39:30] Maha, offer goes to you too [18:40:03] TC is like... I can't think of anything similar to it. [18:40:32] There was this really strange moment at work today when one of the boss's friends came in to play Magic, and this part of the podcast where we have this weird interaction where I make a goofy joke about the name of the story and he shoots me down was playing [18:40:47] And we just kind of looked at each other and smiled for a second like "Oh, those were good times" [18:40:59] And then we just kept on doing our own thing, like two ships passing in the night [18:42:09] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:44:04] I can't read "Have you been keeping track of tough guys" in any voice other than "Have you seen any sailors around?" [18:44:25] hahaha [18:45:16] Thanks, Dem. [18:45:33] Black Jotaro sounds like a store where they sell Jellybeans. [18:45:41] Only black jellybeans. [18:47:27] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [18:48:09] re [18:52:23] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:59:48] http://www.overthinkingit.com/2009/05/14/the-best-star-trek-sound-effect-think-tank This is fascinating [19:00:01] Especially the Origina Series Enterprise Is A Submarine revelation [19:00:51] Yeah [19:02:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQDNXhfuusI&feature=player_embedded 4 year old boy escapes his house, gets drunk, breaks into a neighbor's house, steals christmas presents, and then cross dresses before getting even MORE drunk and finally being found by the cops. [19:03:18] Wow. [19:04:00] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [19:06:04] I don't know WHY, but I'm picturing Black Jotaro as a Jack Frost [19:06:20] It's so fun-HEE to be a banch-HO [19:06:22] haha [19:10:04] So Raihou basically? :V [19:10:36] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:13:14] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [19:16:40] Poke [19:18:27] Hahaha [19:18:28] But as we said before, Pocahontas and Mulan are clearly the two most proactive princesses, and the two least popular. Maybe the more feminist you make the Disney film, the less little girls like it. However, correlation doesn’t equal causation. Maybe those two are less popular because they don’t wear the frilly dresses girls love. Maybe it’s because they aren’t technically princesses. Maybe little girls are filthy racists. [19:18:39] hahaha [19:18:49] I hate Mulan because she's inaccurate to history. [19:18:54] The real Mulan was way stronger. [19:19:20] ^agrees [19:19:23] And Pocahontas is a lie. [19:19:23] Yeah. [19:19:26] >_< [19:19:44] The Disney Mulan story is dumb [19:19:58] I like how Asians in there are divided into Normal People then Slanty-Eyed Chinks [19:20:41] You know evil's got to have a look! [19:20:50] Haha [19:21:36] The Soviets had one, the Nazi had one, and even the Japanese had one! [19:23:22] It's not even like the other disney stories are acurate though. [19:23:33] They've all been changed and altered from their origins. [19:23:59] Yeah, but they at least keep the same general plot. [19:24:26] Or at least that it was loosely based on it [19:24:27] Also, most of those stories were adaptations of fairy tales, not history. [19:24:31] Yeah [19:24:34] Mulan was like... [19:24:37] That's the main problem I have with those two. [19:24:45] They took the name and the vaguest inkling of the premise. That's it. [19:24:48] It's like I, Robot. [19:25:07] Jesus [19:25:09] Brb, dinnertime. :9 [19:25:20] Even seeing that brings back memories of "I DID NOT MURDER HIM!" [19:25:32] ? [19:25:37] From the I, Robot trailer [19:25:49] aah [19:25:57] Man, OTI's glowing dissection of The Princess and the Frog makes me want to watch it again [19:26:06] Like, now that they've pointed out the Pixar influences [19:26:35] Forget I, Robot, what about the Reanimator movies? :V [19:27:04] Also, something that kinda bugged me [19:27:11] Using "Fa Mulan" instead of "Hua Mulan" [19:27:30] Hahahaha [19:27:30] The very first line of Beauty and the Beast explains: “Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.” [19:27:30] I have no idea what makes the castle a “shining” castle. Maybe it has the ability to communicate telepathically with Scatman Crothers. [19:27:41] There's only one place I'll accept Cantonese. And that's their cooking. [19:27:51] Cantonese GRATES on me. It sounds like ducks. [19:29:52] >:)( [19:29:54] >:( [19:30:20] Cantonese dubbing also sucks. Though it might have gotten better. [19:30:29] Chibi-usa sounds like, 60. [19:31:05] Let's put it this way: Which is better, Cantonese dubbing, or English dubbing? [19:31:46] I'd rather go with English. [19:32:05] Cantonese dubbing, they just check if the gender is the same, and that's about it. :| [19:32:11] Granted, things might have gotten better [19:32:13] But still [19:32:37] >_> I've seen and heard both, and I can tell you that the Cantonese is better than 150% IMO. [19:32:39] Let's be fair here, Dem, for a lot of people who don't speak any form of Chinese, 'Fa' is a hell of a lot easier to pronounce than 'Hua' [19:33:11] The English one sounds like someone placed a drill in my brain and kept spinning it each time she spoke. [19:33:53] It's just pronounced "Hwa". :( [19:34:27] Ha-wa? [19:34:29] I guess I'm in an environemnt where I'm used to sounds like that, though [19:34:44] Nah, it makes sense to me [19:34:48] It's hard for English to write it out. [19:35:03] (And ya, I know how that's supposed to sound too) [19:35:08] But that might be because I'm from a yankee background where people say things like "Hwhat?" [19:35:23] Huh, interesting. The Bison people in Glorantha are this stone age-level nomadic tribe that treats the wild bision as kinsmen and protect then from predators [19:35:36] And, in return, because of ancient pacts, the bison let them eat them [19:35:44] huh [19:36:54] All I can imagine is that being like the cow from Restaurant at the End of the Universe that was genetically engineered to want to be eaten. :| [19:38:59] Hahahah [19:39:25] I imagine it's like that, especially since Bison People have spirits they can talk to, and the spirits of their bison herd is typically one of them [19:39:25] hee [19:41:29] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [19:41:58] Hey [19:45:54] Man, I love the way the description of Heortlings ends [19:45:54] The Lunar Empire currently occupies the land. Soldiers [19:45:54] live in its cities, magicians plot against local gods, and plunderers [19:45:54] regularly collect taxes from locals. The Empire is bent [19:45:54] upon destroying the people of Orlanth. A terrible and brutal [19:45:55] event is about to erupt here. [19:46:04] huh [19:46:05] Yeah [19:46:32] Oi [19:54:47] Hahha [19:54:47] Matt Christopher’s style reads like Ernest Hemingway, except you replace all the discomfort with the human condition with a sincere love of the surface details of sporting events. Short declarative sentences. Brisk experience portrayed briskly. [19:54:47] This man uses declarative sentences. That's it. [19:54:59] hahah [19:58:14] Back. [19:58:20] Re [20:00:25] I suppose there's also oni being kinda unlucky. :| [20:01:15] * Emmy sighs dramaticly. "Oh, it's really why there isn't more oni in this world." [20:03:06] I gotta get to bed, guys, my eyes are starting to hurt :( [20:03:42] Oof, nite, Cha. [20:04:11] nighty. Maybe I should startup my LR game... [20:04:12] Alright. :( [20:04:14] LR? [20:05:00] Last Remnant? [20:05:15] oooh [20:05:24] What's that? [20:06:11] It's a Square RPG that was lreaeased on the 360 and PC [20:06:22] But the PC version ended up WAY Better [20:06:35] Oh, I hadn't heard of it. What's it about? And why's the PC version better? :o [20:06:55] It isn't bogged down in a terrifying avalanche of bugs that make the game unplayalbe [20:07:36] Oh, Maha, I sent some mail about a free game for you [20:07:38] to you [20:09:58] o_o Wow. So it's more like the 360 version is way worse. [20:10:04] Oh, and thanks. :) I'll go look. [20:10:29] * Demota nods [20:10:47] No rush. It's available digital, so it's not gonna be hard to find in the future [20:11:43] Yay, thanks. [20:13:18] People good to keep going? [20:14:59] Yes. Trust her. Not like she's gonna take you to Macbeth. [20:15:10] lol... I'm ok [20:15:45] On the other hand, Withc Strike [20:23:15] Think we have enough to keep going? [20:23:30] Up to you, I don't see why not [20:23:40] * Demota nods [20:23:42] Yeah, up to you. ^^ [20:23:43] Well, it was kinda slow [20:23:44] We just need some directions... Maybe. [20:44:10] Man, I'm reading all this Unicorn Gundam thing, and you know what I want to see the most? [20:44:30] A 17 years old Mineva. [20:46:55] Though I wouldn't mind seeing Hathaway's Flash either, just to see Bright's last moment as a military commander. >_> Am I a bad person? [21:00:06] Just to be clear, yes, I am trying to sound confusing. :p [21:02:12] I wouldn't mind seeing Hathaway's Flash to see Hathaway die in an ironic fashion. :| [21:02:47] Ya... Though I'd rather see Bright's reaction to see how realistic the animators can do it. [21:03:39] Too bad it'll never happen though. Even if they somehow DID, it just wouldn't be the same with a different voice actor. :/ [21:12:30] * Fuuko (demota@c-71-202-41-240.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [21:12:46] * Emmy plays Londo Bell's theme song. [21:22:21] What would be a sign? Suddenly weighing nothing? :| [21:23:11] Someone droping a business card saying "Congrat! You have been cursed by ***"? [21:37:54] haha [21:46:55] Attention span starting to dissolve, is this a good end poitn? [21:47:05] Yeah, seems okay [21:47:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLAQm2OcC-4 This is awesome. [21:47:18] Hope you all had fun. [21:47:24] Yep! [21:47:26] I didn't get to go to rifftrax. [21:47:27] :smith: [21:47:35] I think it's best when we can make fun of Kentaro and he can't respond. :p [21:47:55] Well I hope you enjoyed GMing Dem [21:48:43] Well, I enjoy keeping it going, but I'm really hoping they sell a DVD of it later. [21:49:21] Yupyup. Had fun. Have a tummyache, though, so concentration poofed. [21:49:54] This session specifically, though, i was feeling a bit distractedish. [21:50:02] Partly because of teh general issues over the past few weeks [21:50:07] Issues? D: [21:51:10] Suffering from apathy pretty hard. Nothing elicits much of an enjoyable reaction from me. Like, nothing I normally enjoy feels enjoyable. I tried playing Portal, since I loved the hell out of that game. [21:51:20] And I couldn't enjoy it. [21:52:45] I'm just hoping the Star trek exhibit thing manages to get some kind of response. [21:52:54] I wish my sister could do sunday so I could hang out iwth you guys too [21:54:22] Awww. [21:54:32] I hope Sunday is fun. ^^ [21:54:41] Ultimately, though, I'm hoping this doesn't ruin my Christmas. [21:54:44] I was hoping to meet your sister, but I guess next time. [21:54:45] Yeah. [21:55:10] Maybe it's just end-of-year stress? [21:55:17] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball [21:55:19] possibly, yeah. [21:55:33] Sorry, tummy issues. Bbiab. [21:55:40] cya [21:55:40] The mother of a friend of mine died, too. Then I found out osmeone I used to talk died yesterday. [21:55:45] * Emmy is now known as Adyen [21:56:06] On top of being unable to find a job and the proofreading and the design woes, it's just been a mess. [21:58:30] I'm kinda hoping I'll find something that'll shake me out of this. [21:58:47] * Megumi is now known as Yon [21:59:04] From my own personal experiences with apathy, it's usually some epiphany out of nowhere. [21:59:50] And it's not something I ever tried to find on purposes. It's more like I just ran out the clock and persevered until my mind was ready to interpret something as hopeful, and then it does. [22:00:27] Yeah, that's usually how it happens with me. I just need some kind of... I don't know. [22:00:33] I just channel my energies into the internet. [22:00:40] Like, I started getting better in November, and the turning point for me was when I was watching an episode of Monk. [22:00:43] god, I wish Nintendo would release Mario galaxy already or something. A Nintendo release always cheers me up. [22:01:09] Sometimes to unreasonable levels. [22:01:14] There's this character that's basically the comic relief, and in a moment of seriousness, Monk asks him how he can stand it, being the butt of jokes all the time. How does it not get to him? [22:01:22] And the guy said "Happiness is a choice." [22:01:30] And the phrase just struck me like a slap in the face. [22:01:34] * Demota nods. [22:01:57] For me, it's usually finding something. Usually not an epiphany. Just something strong enough to care about. [22:02:00] And then they proceed to make a joke out of it, cause the guy says he saw it on a bumper sticker... of a car involved in a fatal accident. [22:02:20] And Monk is like "You found your epiphany at the scene of a vehicular manslaughter?" [22:03:13] And the guy, who is usually comic relief, said in all seriousness "Some people find their epiphany on top of a mountain. I found mine on the bumper of a burning car. You don't choose where you get epiphanies." [22:03:35] And it was almost like the TV show was letting me know it was okay to find my epiphany in it. [22:04:11] I'm not really one for "moments". [22:04:25] Now I don't think I've gotten myself completely out of it. I'm still a little down and trying to better myself. But it was weird how that was the turning point. I know I [22:04:27] There's always gotta be some buildup and periodic reinforcement. [22:04:29] 'm in an upswing now. [22:05:16] Yeah. It's not like everything was fixed in that one moment. [22:05:38] But it's almost like, the moment I gave myself permission to try and get better. [22:05:46] I dunno, this is just a random idea, but it's something that helps me. Do you have, like, a community type-gym nearby? I don't quite know how things like that work in your non-communist country. :V [22:06:06] Those things cost moneys. :| [22:06:10] ...You have municiple gyms in Canada? [22:06:18] lol [22:06:27] I hope you're not hinting to that disco song. [22:06:43] YMCAs cost money too [22:06:44] I think [22:06:47] ...ahahahaha, no, that wasn't my idea but that's a good one too! [22:06:55] haha [22:07:26] Well, up here, because we're fucking pinkos, if you're on a low income, you can get into the gym for dirt fucking cheap [22:08:01] When I lived near one, I was paying like :tenbux: a month to use the Y whenever I wanted [22:08:23] huh. Cool [22:09:21] And I just kinda figured, well, Wiifit is one thing, but REALLY going at it at the gym relieves a lot of stress and it makes me feel a hell of a lot better. And I'm not even a big physical activity sort of person [22:12:40] * Demota nods [22:13:11] haha [22:13:22] Okay, I can't find what you're talking about, but I don't think it was me that said that, which I find really funny, because I wrote a set of alternate lyrics to that song because none of the lyrics in P4 sound like the real words (some of the P3 music is like that too, like Burn My Dread) and part of the rewritten stuff says: [22:13:22] quote: [22:13:22] I face out I hold out I reach out to the tune of my life savingses [22:13:22] oh the hormone man till now break away [22:13:22] oh the lesbians can you let me out [22:13:22] can you set me free from distag in the world say in the last pate in the soul [22:14:39] Man, I wish I remembered/still had my 'transcription' of what I thought the lyrics to the english version of Cha La Head Cha La were. [22:14:43] That was some funny shit. [22:14:52] (it still made more sense than the actual lyrics) [22:15:35] haha [22:18:15] Haha. [22:18:39] Are lyrics usually difficult to understand from hearing the song, or am I especially horrible at it? '_' [22:18:50] I can't usually tell what lyrics are saying. [22:18:53] (and was comparable in making sense to the original Japanese lyrics) [22:19:23] Well, lemme find the song in question [22:19:27] I kinda have trouble with it, depends a lot on the singer though [22:19:57] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRwFapCq3vY [22:20:20] I HIGHLY recommend investing in a copy of Persona 3: FES and Persona 4 when you get the cash, Maha [22:20:22] Like I have no trouble understanding what, say, the Dropkick Murphys are singing about (except when they REALLY yell or sound REALLY drunk) [22:20:23] They are the best jRPGs. [22:20:46] * Cheeseball nods. [22:20:50] Anyway, the song. HEavy, heavy, heavy accented English [22:22:16] I really, really want more Persona. It's just a really smart RPG. [22:23:56] I think Reach Out to the Truth is my favorite non-boss battle music in an RPG. Not counting SRW because that's just cheating. [22:24:04] Maybe it's an issue of recentism, but they're probably the best characters of any RPG I've touched. [22:24:20] I mean, some might have had cooler concepts. But these are better characters. [22:24:43] I'll always remember P3's upbeat after school music. [22:24:53] They just need to damn well remake P2 for the PSP. [22:24:56] "Never felt like.... the taste of read meat." [22:24:58] haha [22:25:00] lol [22:25:07] red* [22:25:12] Anyways, I'm going off. Going to grind a lot in Last Remnant. [22:25:16] Night adyen [22:25:20] Night Adyen. [22:25:23] Unlike FF12, I can actually STAND this game's grinding... >_> [22:25:32] "Never felt like, so mitts and level." [22:25:34] Night all. [22:25:38] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.127.179) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [22:26:08] I'm with Yon on P2. They damn well better rerelease it. [22:26:12] WITH PART 1! [22:26:35] Seeing as how they brought back the Ice Queen story in P1, if they do P2 they'll probably do both parts. [22:26:41] I never had grinding problems with FF12. But I did find some perfect sweet-spot for grinding where I could set my gambits up and basically get infnite XP. [22:26:49] o.o [22:26:50] Hah [22:26:58] So what, you just go to sleep and wake up at level 100? [22:27:02] I had my gambits set up so all I had to do was walk. [22:27:19] Never got an auto-leveling cycle going though. [22:27:34] Probably had it, just not at the right spawn point for enemies. [22:27:50] Well no, this was low level grinding. I probably couldn't have gotten it SUPER high. But it put me comfortably ahead of the levelling curve for the rest of the game so I never ground again. [22:27:59] cool [22:28:29] (And I actually LIKE the gambit system, which most people don't seem to care for) [22:28:31] (I had cures as highest priority after a decent amount of damage, then buffs, then attacks. And one guy would *ALWAYS* Steal if an enemy was at full HP) [22:28:57] You know hwat could use a gambit system? [22:28:58] Persona 3. [22:29:00] I liked the gambits, but I was too good at them. [22:29:08] Everything was automatic. [22:29:16] If the enemy casts Makarakarn, CAST SOMETHING [22:29:19] Don't wait for ME to do it. [22:29:21] haha [22:29:36] It was kind of like a combination of a tactical exercise and a programming exercise and I found it really neat. [22:29:42] :D [22:29:47] Yeah [22:30:10] Also apart from that one section, I never set up the game to play itself. [22:30:11] It was pretty cool. And when it was still early in the game and you were looking for If-statements as treasure, that was pretty neat. [22:30:19] My party members played themselves. [22:30:37] But I pretty much controlled Ashe fully manually. [22:30:41] And then about five hours after I got all the lines I wanted and had a perfectly automated party, I just kinda.. settled in to watch a story that mostly wasn't there. [22:31:07] (apart from having her set to auto-taunt) [22:31:18] Unless there was a boss fight that forced me to take control. [22:31:45] Oh, also, the return of "natural barrier monsters" pissed me the fuck off. [22:32:24] Like how, in old old RPGs, you can wander too far on the world map by getting "lucky" with random encounters. And then you get into one and it fucking wipes the floor with you. [22:32:46] You weren't supposed to be in that area in the game yet, and the only indication of it was the fucking murderous monsters. [22:33:01] Also, I actually enjoyed the story. It was simple, yeah, but in a sort of good, old-school way. In fact I kinda felt that it did 'Old school final fantasy' better than 9 did. [22:33:21] War is over. [22:33:22] I was waiting for a twist that never came. [22:33:24] Soldier wins. [22:33:36] The new item is a set of boots that reduces rocket jump damage [22:33:42] Damn you, soldier. (I mostly just wanted to participate) [22:33:56] Huh, cool. [22:34:00] Oh, also, I completely fucking agreed with House Solidaire. [22:34:13] I kinda want to get into 12, but after the first couple hours, I wasn't sure if I could take any more. :/ [22:34:14] Like what if they gave us a hat for taking part in the event and I missed it :( [22:34:38] And I just boggled at how no one in the party had any trouble doing what the Venat told them to do BECAUSE WE'RE GODS AND YOU DO AS WE SAY [22:34:46] Yes massa, any'ting you say massa [22:35:07] Like Ashe put up nothing but token resistance. [22:35:28] And Solidaire was fighting FOR THE FREE WILL OF MANKIND [22:35:51] Mankind ill needs a savior such as solidaire. [22:35:58] But no, you're just the gods little hitmen, making sure that the fate of the world rests in the hands of ghost-gods. [22:36:42] Also, the environments and the world was REALLY FUCKING COOL [22:36:48] I LOVED Ivalice. [22:36:52] Everything was super awesome. [22:36:54] Ugh, sorry, guys. Feeling sick. I think I'm going to sign off. [22:36:57] And they did nothing with it. [22:36:59] :( [22:37:01] Feel better Maha [22:37:09] I think I ate something that didn't agree with me or something. [22:37:10] Night Maha [22:37:10] Thanks. [22:37:12] Feel better [22:37:15] Nite, guys. [22:37:17] Nanight [22:37:19] Take vengeance on that something [22:37:26] Maybe with Pepto or something. [22:37:29] * Cheeseball waves. [22:37:30] Nitenite. [22:37:40] Night [22:37:54] Like, you go to the holy city of the ghost-gods, or whatever, and then you go through a HUGE FUCKING CRYSTAL which was really pretty awesome. [22:38:00] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-67-121-125-76.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Quit: ZzzZzzz...) End of #Exalted buffer Fri Dec 18 00:05:32 2009
