daily UTC chat log for Anywherebb (Postline 6.1.30)
22:00, Chad> I am the Alpha and Omega.
22:40, Duskesko> I'm the theta. The most deadly of all radiation. Muahahaha.
22:40, Duskesko> RJ can be beta.
22:57, Skinnymon whispers: Yesh... In the beginning there was Powercats (moderators) Alex, Ryan and Chad. As it is written, so it was done...
22:57, Raptorjedi> You can't choose for me. What if I want to be Omicron? Or Omega?! Hmmmmmmmmm?
23:59, Tacogeddon> /has arrived, no cheering! Just throw money!
23:59, Tacogeddon> DAMN THE /ME, IT HAS EVADED ME.
01:21, Chad> Ha!
01:39, Chad> Yay! I won the British National Lottery! Better send my info to this lady quick!
01:39, Raptorjedi> Congrats! Do they know you live in the US? Euro's don't work over here, so be sure to let them know you want that in US money.
01:41, Chad> I'll be sure to mention that.
01:52, Chad> Just what this world needs... a Pokemon MMO... yay...
01:56, Raptorjedi> Damn right it does
01:58, Raptorjedi> Where did you hear this? I must know!
02:01, Chad> http://www.cubed3.com/news/10049
02:02, Chad> Doubt Nintendo will do it.
02:02, Raptorjedi> Or they will take the idea, run with it and give it to someone else to make, someone that isn't a small company like the ones that suggested it.
02:05, Chad> A PokeMMO and most likely been pitched a million times to Nintendo.
02:11, Cryoburner> I kind of doubt Nintendo would hand one of their largest franchises over to a company who's only released a bubble popping minigame. :P
02:13, Chad> Nintendo is crazy, so you never know. :P
02:15, Cryoburner> There's a slight difference in complexity between a minigame that takes a few weeks to create, and an MMO that will take a few years.
02:17, Chad> They have a game called Fwick, to close to my last name, must sue!
02:21, Cryoburner> Actually, it's a concept rather than a completed game.
02:22, Cryoburner> Pop is apparently the only game they have ever released. :P
02:23, Chad> Yep
02:29, Cryoburner> Do these guys even do the slightest bit of research before pitching an idea?
02:30, Chad> Doubt it.
02:31, Cryoburner> I like how they also pitch the idea for an "X-Men MMO", when just such a game was announced to already be in development a few years ago. :P
02:31, Cryoburner> Like... this one... http://www.marvel.com/news/vgstories.655
02:38, Cryoburner> Next they'll be pitching ideas to Blizzard for an MMO set in the Warcraft universe.
02:40, Cryoburner whispers: These guys have the least original concept pitches I've ever seen. An online multiplayer 007 game?
02:42, Cryoburner whispers: Not to mention their "Battle Star Galactica" game pitch, where they can't even spell the title of the series right. :P
02:46, Tom contemplates a 007 MMO.
02:46, Tom> But I hate MMOs...
02:47, Cryoburner whispers: With Pokemanz.
02:48, Cryoburner yells: I CHOOSE YOU, RAPTORJEDICHU!
03:09, Duskesko> PIKA-HULKOMON! http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=110
03:09, Duskesko whispers: and rat flails
03:19, Chad> I want a Raptor Jedi...
03:25, Cryoburner> Sorry, all we have are Chadizards.
03:27, Chad> That'll work I guess....
03:34, Chad> Its too hawt here....
07:44, Megagun> ALEXOMON!
07:44, Megagun> Alexomon, reinvent the wheel attack!
07:46, Megagun> 01:39, Raptorjedi> Congrats! Do they know you live in the US? Euro's don't work over here, so be sure to let them know you want that in US money.
07:46, Megagun> Neither do they work over in the UK.. :P
07:49, Raptorjedi> Really?
07:51, Raptorjedi> I always thought they did, seeing as the UK is in the European Union.
07:53, Raptorjedi checks wikipedia and finds out they don't.
08:15, Cryoburner waits for Alexomons attack to land... This is taking a while. :P
17:22, Yash> DON'T STOP... BELIEVING!
19:16, Skinnymon wasn't a big Journey fan... :/
19:18, Deanfrz> is everyone else as tired as i am?
20:10, Naavis> No.
20:32, Tacogeddon> GREETINGS KNAVES.
20:34, Xenomorph taps his watch.
20:34, Megagun> What? I did.. huh.. Gah.
20:35, Megagun> Must've forgotten to hit 'post'..
20:36, Tacogeddon> Lemme guess, giant multiple paragraph long post lost because you hit the back button? :P
20:38, Megagun> Hmm, could've been the 'you have done an action since trying to post so I won't post! HA!' bug.... I've redownloaded my character sheet to see if I had any interesting items I could apply.
21:16, Tacogeddon pokes RJ
21:17, Raptorjedi> What?
21:17, Tacogeddon> Been playing GTA IV eh? :P
21:18, Raptorjedi> Yeah
21:18, Raptorjedi> A bit behind aren't you? I've been playing for the last week or so. :P
21:19, Tacogeddon> I'm going for a couple of the big achievements still, like the $500,000 one. :P
21:20, Tacogeddon> I would have had it if RPGs weren't so fun and expensive.
21:21, Raptorjedi> I wanted to get the Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie achievement before my free month of Live ran out, but I couldn't.
21:21, Tacogeddon> I never used my free month card.
21:22, Raptorjedi> When I got my 360, there was no card.
21:22, Raptorjedi> It was used up automatically when I connected to Live for the first time to set up my account.
21:23, Raptorjedi> So until I had gotten GTA IV, I had no multiplayer games to use it with >_<
21:24, Tacogeddon> I finally found my 360 microphone, not the most comfortable thing ever.
21:25, Raptorjedi> I don't even talk to people. I put it on to listen, but the mic is always off.
21:26, Duskesko> Stalker.
21:28, Raptorjedi> Hardly. The choice is either listen through the headphones, or their voices are played through your TV speakers.
21:28, Raptorjedi> With the headset, at least there is an option to turn the volume down and ignore everyone :P
21:30, Tacogeddon> I should try for the achievement where you need to roll a car five times, I'll probably never get it intentionally. :P
21:30, Duskesko> I choose not to ignore my enemies. I find I live longer.
21:31, Raptorjedi> I'm surprised I haven't gotten that, I can't drive to save my life.
21:31, Raptorjedi> Dusk, you've never played on Live before.
21:31, Tacogeddon> Try escaping the cops on a forklift. :P
21:32, Raptorjedi> Five seconds of some guy yelling racial slurs and another kid bashing America when he knows next to nothing about it and has never been here and you will turn the volume down.
21:32, Ouch> UT2004 is better anyway
21:33, Duskesko> I was talking about ignoring them in GENERAL. Twas a joke, my good man.
21:34, Duskesko> Unreal and UT are still teh best.
21:34, Ouch> only the die hard ut players still play it so the matches are quite exciting, challenging, and there are no 5 years old retards...
21:34, Raptorjedi> You failed to use a :P Dusk, it isn't my fault.
21:35, Duskesko> You failed... well... You failed. :P
21:35, Raptorjedi> I think multiplayer GTA IV pwns most first person shooters, but that might be because I don't really like first person shooters.
21:36, Duskesko> I HAVE NO REASONING TO BACK UP MY STATEMENTS. BUT, I DO FIND CAPS LOCK TO BE QUITE AMUSING. WELCOME TO THE INTERNET.
21:36, Ouch> also there is a strikeing number of people/servers still going. it's almost as if ut3 never happened. (or at least we wish with that crappy movement they gave it)
21:36, Arrowgrab> testing
21:36, Tacogeddon> I have been liking the multiplayer, GTA Race is great if you manage not to be blown up. :P
21:36, Arrowgrab> Ah, didn't miss everyone else by 3 hours this time.
21:36, Duskesko> you got an F on your test
21:36, Raptorjedi> I haven't raced. I prefer Deathmatch.
21:37, Duskesko waves at the guy grabbing arrows.
21:37, Arrowgrab> Good evening, everyone.
21:37, Duskesko> Time is relative here.
21:37, Tacogeddon> I played a race where it was set to Motorcycles only, grenades came in handy there. :P
21:38, Ouch> yeah, even if you miss a conversation by 10 hours, feel free to continue it
21:38, Arrowgrab> True that.
21:38, Duskesko translates "Tru dat."
21:39, Arrowgrab> So, what have you all been up to recently?
21:40, Duskesko> Arrowgrab, care to explain your name? ^_^
21:40, Arrowgrab> Do fill in the old member who makes the occasional appearance.
21:40, Duskesko whispers: I've been mowing.
21:40, Tacogeddon> He grabs arrows! DO NOT QUESTION.
21:41, Arrowgrab> Dusk, well, I used to have the nickname Bulletcatcher when playing Team Fortress Classic back in the day, as an ironic reference to my skill.
21:41, Ouch> pointy end first!
21:41, Arrowgrab> Then when I got into Thievery UT, I decided to make a different, more medieval fantasy sounding version for that game.
21:41, Tacogeddon has been adding much shooty and killyness to his Orks.
21:41, Duskesko> Cool. I can grab arrows. (Just rarely with my hands.)
21:42, Arrowgrab> Then my original account here was deleted or lost due to some problem I don't remember, and this is the new one.
21:42, Arrowgrab> And there's the story in a nutshell.
21:42, Duskesko is taking notes.
21:42, Ouch> anyone here played space rangers 2?
21:43, Arrowgrab> Not me.
21:44, Megagun> Me. I loved it.
21:44, Ouch> if not, you can get it for practically just the shiping on ebay. it also includes the original space rangers as a bonus
21:44, Ouch> I find myself keep going back to play it.
21:44, Megagun> http://home.deds.nl/~megagun/temp/dukepukem.png <-- the awesomeness.
21:44, Duskesko> Never gonna giiiive you up.
21:44, Arrowgrab> And that atrocious copy protection system, as far as I remember.
21:45, Duskesko> Never gonna leet you down.
21:45, Megagun> Yeah, Starforce was a bit of a pain, yes. But digital distribution of SR2 features no Starforce..
21:45, Ouch> lol yeah duke pukem referance was awsome
21:46, Ouch> yeah, starforce blows, but it's worth it for this game
21:46, Ouch> actually The origanl version shipped with the game does not have it, so you can play the original as kind of a demo of sorts...
21:47, Ouch> sigh... mondays... ^original
21:48, Duskesko> mudkips are so damn cool
21:48, Ouch> shame the devs that made it are no longer a group though :(
21:49, Ouch> wish the US version could of gotten that patch as well
21:51, Duskesko> NSFW MUDKIP! http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n161/skeptic_01/mudkip.jpg If i caught that I would be so proud.
21:57, Tacogeddon> http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/output/motivator6415027.jpg
21:57, Duskesko> EPIC MOTIV
21:58, Arrowgrab> Really pretty. Why are there pillars of light?
21:59, Duskesko> WHY MUST YOU QUESTION!
22:00, Duskesko> agh. I gotta hit the road. Tiem too driv to toown.
22:01, Arrowgrab> Take care, Duskesko, and see you around.
22:03, Tacogeddon> My theory for the pillars: Fused Glass. :P
22:04, Cryoburner> My theory: Tasty Light.
22:05, Zjc92> My theory? POLYGONS.
22:05, Arrowgrab> You get a prize for that.
22:07, Arrowgrab> Ah, well, I'm logging off now. It's late, I'm sleepy, and I have to work tomorrow.
