6:00 PM

Oh woops, that's one of the films.

user15026

I watched like Arthur, and Recess, and Power Rangers.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Having fun, isn't hard, when you've got a library card!

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I just did that outloud

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Bouncing here and there and everywhere!

James

6:01 PM

Ordered! And now its time to feel buyers remorse

GnomeSlice

And, an awesome cover of the Pink Panther theme

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Now I wanna make my gravatar the the Dragonzord...

James

Going to go swap working locations

BBIAB

Fluttershy

@James What'd ya buy me? =P

user15026

@OrigamiRobot DOOOO IT DOOO IT DOOOOO IT

OrigamiRobot

6:02 PM

@AshleyNunn But I also wanna be Canti from FLCL

You'd like FLCL

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot FLCL is crazy and way random.

Gurren Laggan is MUCH better.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I know I love it even though I don't understand a thing.

Q: What effect does taking radio towers have on weapon availability?

Right in the beginning of the game, Dennis tells you it's important to take radio towers because you can get guns for free in stores as a result. He's awfully unspecific as to how exactly this works, though. Does each radio tower you enable, regardless of location, make free your bottom-most not...

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Do robots come out of people's heads? Do people swordfight with guitars?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Do people dropkick flying mechs by running up the side of a cliff?

Do giant mechs get inside BIGGER mechs, and then climb into even bigger mechs?

SaintWacko

6:04 PM

@AshleyNunn I have his Op. 23

fbueckert

Do giant mechs use galaxies as throwing stars?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I am not a fan of mech anime.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot You have no heart.

GnomeSlice

Fuck, I must have deleted my NEO Scavenger save...

DAMMIT I was doing really well!

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert After seeing an episode of Gundam and Neo Genesis Evangelion, I'll pass.

Do Zoids count as mechs?

I liked Zoids.

fbueckert

6:07 PM

@OrigamiRobot Judging an entire genre on overhyped giant robots, and a mindfuck of a series does not do it justice.

SaintWacko

Have how I not noticed this before?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot The only one I ever liked was Robotech.

SaintWacko

You're all insane! :P

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Zoids...that rings a bell. What series is that?

GnomeSlice

And I only saw a few. I have the Gamecube game though. It got meh reviews, but it's fun.

OrigamiRobot

6:07 PM

@fbueckert Zoids.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert animal shaped mechs.

like tigers and bears and shit.

fbueckert

Ah, yes, the Zoids series.

Ok, I lost track of that one.

Yes, that counts.

GnomeSlice

►

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert No, but it does color my perception. I gave mech anime two chance. Maybe I got unlucky with my choices.

GnomeSlice

I should find Robotech and watch the whole thing.

fbueckert

6:08 PM

@OrigamiRobot Watch one episode of Gurren Laggen.

OrigamiRobot

Slightly related: Beast Wars

GnomeSlice

The game was surprisingly fun

fbueckert

If you like random, holy shit, WTF moments, you'll like it.

user15026

@fbueckert I love Gurren Laggan.

fbueckert

Also, Macross.

OrigamiRobot

6:09 PM

@fbueckert Send me a link on Steam or sommat.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot robotechrobotechrobotech

user15026

@SaintWacko Awesome!

fbueckert

Watch freaking Macross.

It's like....music mecha.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Isn't that related to Robotech or something

No... Macross City

Argh I don't know.

user15026

@saintwacko I should really expand my classical music collection.

OrigamiRobot

6:10 PM

@GnomeSlice Is that anime?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Yes, it is.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. I think it's an American one though. It's from the 80's. It's got a really neat plotline.

fbueckert

Too bad none of it will be released out here, due to licensing issues.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert HAH yes

OrigamiRobot

I do like the Battletech universe.

user15026

6:10 PM

@fbueckert Have you ever watched any Guu?

user15026

Now that is a weird anime.

GnomeSlice

Holy crap there is a lot of robotech stuff on wikipedia

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Guu is completely strange.

And somewhat scary.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Amercan anime is a completely different thing and my previous opinions should not be applied to it.

user15026

@fbueckert It delights me and freaks me out.

fbueckert

6:12 PM

@OrigamiRobot If you like Zoids, you'll probably enjoy Macross, too.

user15026

Also, I love the Nyanpire short anime things that a friend recently introduced me to. So much good.

fbueckert

Especially Macross Frontier.

GnomeSlice

I'm not really a fan of anime at all, but I liked the Robotech game. I only ever saw one or two episodes though.

@fbueckert Oh, these are only in Japanese?

=[

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Subtitles are your friend!

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I think I'll just stick with Robotech. =[

OrigamiRobot

6:12 PM

@fbueckert I wanted to design a Zoids board game or RPG

When I was younger and full of dreams.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn That's about all the classical music I have

fbueckert

Also, for some nice mech designs, with a good storyline, watch Mai HiME.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot KSP + Zoids would be a sweet crossover.

SaintWacko

Besides fusion like TSO

GnomeSlice

Build your own giant robot animal thing!

SaintWacko

6:13 PM

@GnomeSlice Have you played Cargo: A Quest for Gravity?

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Yes. But I didn't reinstall it on my new PC yet.

It didn't run very well on my laptop.

fbueckert

Gundam 00 also has really nice mech designs.

user15026

@SaintWacko TSO makes me so happy. I have seen them live....6 times?

Krazer

@fbueckert What about Code Geass?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice That was more or less the idea.

GnomeSlice

6:16 PM

►

I really want to play that again now.

fuck that guy is talking over it

fbueckert

@Krazer Watched one episode, main character's a dick, stopped.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert So far, the only anime I have liked are Zoids, FLCL, and FMA. I watched some Bocanno and liked it OK, but stopped for some reason.

GnomeSlice

Oh what, there were two Robotech games!?

fbueckert

Oh! Can't forget my favorite series!

Full Metal Panic

Krazer

@fbueckert It gets better esp in the second season

James

6:17 PM

@Fluttershy I think Ive only sent steam gifts to a few people so far.. and I am not sure you are one of them :)

Krazer

@fbueckert Still waiting for the next season~

fbueckert

@Krazer Eh, I'm not slogging through a season of "Oh, look at me, I'm so bad!" to get to the second season.

@Krazer Is there going to be something after Second Raid?

GnomeSlice

WTF THERE WERE 5 ROBOTECH GAMES

Krazer

@fbueckert The bulk of the action is in the Sigma series, as they reveal the bulk of the plot behind the Whispered, Amalagram, and Mithril. Many ppl will die. Kruz and Melissa get it on, too.

GnomeSlice

One of which was cancelled.

The rest of which are sidescrolling arcade shooters. Pass.

fbueckert

6:20 PM

@Krazer I want!

Want it now!

Krazer

@fbueckert The later half of the first season get pretty good actually.

GnomeSlice

Oh man, you can turn into a motorcycle in Robotech: Invasion...

Fluttershy

@James I meant from amazon, that you regret. =P

@fbueckert Elfen Lied? <_< Ever seen it?

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Elfen Lied is freaking scary at the beginning.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert And really depressing at the end. Right in the feels, that show...

fbueckert

6:23 PM

I should note: I've helped run anime conventions for the better part of a decade; I've seen a ton of stuff out there.

James

@Fluttershy Oh, haha

I am buying parts for a new computer to put together.. and no its not for you that is why I clearly regret it (there is no buyers remorse if you spend money on other people!)

Fluttershy

@James Well, I'm in the market for good computer accessories, a new Xbox, and a PS3, and a pony. =D

fbueckert

Also, for classics: Oh! My Goddess.

Gotta watch that.

user15026

@fbueckert Is there anything you -don't- know?

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Tons.

user15026

6:24 PM

@fbueckert I keep thinking I should, but then I forget to acquire it and watch it.

Krazer

@fbueckert You can read most of the Sigma manga online and most of the light novels here

@AshleyNunn Links will be incoming when I get home, then.

GnomeSlice

CLASSIC

fbueckert

6:25 PM

@Krazer I prefer the anime over the manga.

user15026

@Fluttershy ...you know, it all made sense until the pony. What are you gonna do with a pony?

fbueckert

Although, I own everything that's FMP.

@GnomeSlice Seen it.

ALL of it.

Fluttershy

@James I mean... If you want to get me a diamond pony, that's fine. The other stuff is probably cheaper. =P

GnomeSlice

I used to watch that show religiously when I was a kid.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Ride it, duh!

user15026

6:26 PM

@Fluttershy Okay, fair enough, I guess that makes sense.

James

@Fluttershy Haha, now I have to find a diamond pony but you hare to swear to name it Butt Stallion :)

Powerlord

I go talk to a coworker for a few minutes and come back to 205 messages in here.

Fluttershy

@James I totally would. But I'd also name my Xbox or PS3 Butt Stallion, too. >_> =D

James

@Fluttershy lol

user15026

@Fluttershy You are a strange, strange man.

Krazer

6:27 PM

@fbueckert I suggest throwing money at Kyoto Animation and telling to animate some or all of the seven unanimated novels and finish the story

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn My 1st Gen Xbox 360 Arcade is named "Danforth the Destroyer"...

Powerlord

@Krazer For some reason, I thought you were talking about Haruhi and had to scroll back to see what you were talking about.

fbueckert

@Krazer And there are no plans to animate the rest of it?

James

@BenBrocka I -almost- went with the HAF XB case but it would not fit my motherboard so I am just snagging a new HAF X case. Order placed and of course the mobo is the last one estimated to be delivered.. Whee

Fluttershy

I have to stop reading my pings as I type...

Powerlord

6:30 PM

I think I just got an email from my boss's boss's boss's boss that contains text that is quite possibly illegal. :/

user15026

@Fluttershy this seems less weird.

user15026

@Powerlord huh. Interesting quandary, that.

Krazer

@fbueckert there are... rumors crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/11/07/…

@Powerlord oh pls

Powerlord

@Krazer Are you saying you dislike Haruhi?

fbueckert

@Krazer I'm going to murder Japan if it's not FMP.

@Powerlord I love those.

Krazer

6:35 PM

@Powerlord I wouldn't dare say that... not after all the loops~

@fbueckert careful not to cause another tsunami

Q: is GP10 still a viable choice as support?

With Season 3 here, lots of new items have been release. One in particular is the Sightstone, and if you didnt know this item allows you to basically have unlimited wards and a decent amount of health with an upfront purchase. My previous reasoning for GP10 was to make up for the lose of gold fro...

Q: Artillery in Bastion?

Sometimes when I'm playing Bastion there are small explosions on the map. Not necessarily near me, or near any enemy. What's happening? Am I being shelled?

Powerlord

I know I work in government, but when the head of a department (that employs a great number of unionized employees) sends out a very anti-union email to everyone in said department, and said department is the probably the largest in said government...

fbueckert

@Krazer Fun fact: I have a friend in Japan, and I sent him some stuff the day before the tsunami hit.

user15026

@Powerlord that sounds like a very sticky situation.

Krazer

@fbueckert I think they might be waiting for the manga to end (at vol 19) to maximize sales... all I have to say is that there better be a movie or something epic to make up for the wait.

@fbueckert what did you send him?

fbueckert

6:39 PM

@Krazer Chocolate.

some Maple Syrup.

They love the stuff, for some reason.

Powerlord

@Krazer Then again, they did a movie of the third Haruhi novel even though the series is still being written (12 volumes so far, I think)...

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Lucky! I've only seen them once

Ullallulloo

arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/12/…

:D

user15026

@SaintWacko My ex and I used to go. I have seen them do Beethoven's Last Night, the Lost Christmas Eve, and Christmas Eve and Other Stories (I have seen that one 3 or 4 times)

Krazer

@Powerlord I think since there was such a huge gap between vol 9 and 10/11 (07 and 11, respectively) that they released to move to ge ppl's attention back so they could sell more books.

SaintWacko

6:47 PM

@AshleyNunn I saw Lost Christmas Eve, and I have that and Beethoven's Last Night on my computer

Krazer

@fbueckert ;9

SaintWacko

I'd be listening to them now, but I haven't been able to find my earbuds

user15026

@SaintWacko Nice. I have all of their albums... I am a bit obsessive of things I like.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn I do that sometimes too! Spend hours trying to make sure you have everything in the highest quality possible... album arts, genres, etc.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Yeah. I tend to overfocus on things that I find fascinating.

SaintWacko

6:50 PM

@AshleyNunn I need to find the others

user15026

@SaintWacko Ping me later, I can likely help.

user15026

Oh holy crap yay I have finally found something that is commercially produced, says "salted caramel" on it, and you can actually taste teh blend of salt and sweet.
