09:34:37 <Ballig> sup Elsi
10:32:19 <Avatar> island 1470, jhelom peninsula 2144
10:32:40 <Ballig> your island must suck horribly
10:41:54 <Avatar> how can it
11:05:10 <Avatar> anyone get the HUMBLE BUNDLE yet
11:09:18 <Ballig> most indie games are shit, so no
11:09:51 <Avatar> this one has a sweet one
11:10:29 <Avatar> how can you say no to pay what you want
11:10:46 <Ballig> so there's a single good game in the entire bundle?
11:10:50 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:11:00 <Avatar> I've only played 3 so far
11:11:14 <Avatar> crayon deluxe is OK, cogs was largely shit
11:11:19 <Avatar> VVVVVV is sweet
11:11:24 <Ballig> I've played crayon deluxe, it's crap after a short while
11:11:44 <Avatar> cogs is pretty much a sliding puzzle with a twist
11:11:49 <Avatar> not worth anything
12:11:00 <Avatar> there's a video of some joker on youtube counting to 100,000
12:11:06 <Avatar> I won't link it
12:13:16 <Ballig> awesome
12:13:18 <Ballig> (that you aren't linking it)
12:13:23 <Avatar> haha
12:58:23 <Ballig> Avatar: so should I buy the humble bundle or spend $35 on old games
13:11:15 <Avatar> spend less on the humble bundle
13:11:46 <Avatar> might buy me some ram
13:12:13 <Avatar> or I could buy a new machine I guess
13:14:10 <Avatar> don't 4GB sticks exist for DDR2
13:16:47 <Ballig> yes
13:16:50 <Ballig> I just bought two a few weeks ago
13:16:55 <Ballig> oh, maybe it was DDR3
13:17:53 <Avatar> scorptec only sells up to 4GB kits for DDR2
14:05:31 <Mekkis> I've got a 4GB stick of DDR2 in my laptop
14:06:45 <Ballig> sell it to Avatar
14:07:17 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
14:08:17 <Mekkis> Ballig, I'd suggest spending the $35 at gog.com :S
14:08:55 <Ballig> I ended up spending $50 at gog.com
14:09:12 <Ballig> I need to not read emails they send me
14:09:13 <Avatar> yeah I am going to buy a new machine
14:09:27 <Avatar> you could have spent 5c on the humble bundle
14:09:40 <Ballig> I don't want the humble bundle, I wanted the old games that gog.com was going to sell me for half price
14:09:50 <Avatar> like what
14:10:02 <Ballig> 3d pinball
14:10:59 <Ballig> also: two worlds, septerra core, jagged alliance 2, gorky 17, enclave, knights and merchants, jack orlando, earth 2140, earth 2150, earth 2160
14:11:09 <Ballig> then I also got arcanum of steamworks and capitalism 2
14:11:32 <Avatar> you got got
14:11:42 <Ballig> the games looked worth it
14:11:57 <Avatar> I gave you my personal recommendation on what was worth it
14:12:10 <Avatar> and this was for charity
14:12:13 <Avatar> think of the children
14:12:46 <Ballig> one of the humble bundle games
14:12:54 <Avatar> at LEAST one
14:12:56 <Ballig> I'm not buying an entire bundle of games for one that might be worth it
14:13:05 <Avatar> you can pay what you want
14:13:05 <Ballig> the last time I bought an indie bundle they all sucked cock
14:13:07 <Avatar> pay for just the one
14:13:10 <Ballig> most indie games end up being glorified flash games
14:13:23 <Avatar> this one is like metroid
14:13:29 <Ballig> I don't like metroid
14:13:34 <Avatar> what
14:13:36 <Avatar> everyone likes metroid
14:14:10 <Ballig> everyone but me
14:14:25 <Avatar> yeah well you're nobody
14:19:19 <Ballig> your face is nobody
14:19:45 <Ballig> also why the hell is it my thighs that hurt after an hour of boxing
14:47:10 <Mekkis> you do boxing?
14:48:58 <Ballig> I organise our department's health and wellbeing program, I started up an 8 week boxing program and decided to take part in it myself
14:59:38 <Avatar> standing up sucks
15:01:36 <Ballig> actually standing up is what my thighs are complaining about. I mustn't have stretched properly after the class, because today when I go to stand up my thighs are sore

22:53:05 <Zerginwan> Good time of day. Anybody here?
22:54:40 <Ballig> why is it a good time of day
22:55:58 <Zerginwan> coz i don't know exactly how much time in Australia right now
22:56:06 <Zerginwan> night already?
22:56:15 <Ballig> yes
22:56:29 <Ballig> in soviety russia, time knows exactly how much of you
22:57:57 <Zerginwan> not soviety already
22:58:32 <Zerginwan> strange stereotype ^_^
22:58:40 <Ballig> sorry, soviet
22:58:41 <Ballig> :p
22:58:55 <Zerginwan> XD
22:59:14 <Zerginwan> btw, about which edition this channel?
22:59:42 <Ballig> mostly 3.5 and pathfinder
23:00:24 <Zerginwan> tha'ts bad for me=(
23:00:48 <Zerginwan> nobody likes 4E...
23:00:50 <Ballig> ha
23:02:17 <Zerginwan> do u know other channels - like this, but with people, who can play 4E?
23:03:12 <Ballig> I don't, sorry
23:03:18 <Ballig> we tried 4E once but not many of us liked it
23:03:49 <Zerginwan> why so?
23:04:24 <Zerginwan> but w8, don't tell me. It will be holywar
23:04:28 <Zerginwan> ok
23:04:31 <Zerginwan> farewell)
23:04:48 <Ballig> haha
23:04:51 <Ballig> it just doesn't suit us
23:05:30 <Zerginwan> too long battles?
23:06:17 <Ballig> just the style in general. 4E is more streamlined for battle/appeals more to the MMORPG crowd
23:07:14 <Zerginwan> o_O
23:07:50 <Zerginwan> after 1 month of playing i understood, that 4E isn't Diablo\WoW-style. Not at all
23:08:05 <Ballig> it appeals to that kind of playerbase though
23:08:12 <Ballig> with daily powers and all that
23:08:16 <Ballig> it's just different
23:08:16 <Zerginwan> after 2 years of mastering and playing i still think so
23:09:03 <Zerginwan> daily powers is just like "super-effort"
23:09:25 <Zerginwan> yep. different. i liked 3E at the begining...
23:10:05 <Zerginwan> but it's too big. Too many books, skills, classes and so on. And those combinations like "happy box" and Pun-Pun
23:10:38 <Zerginwan> it's note roleplaying. it's math-combinating
23:11:23 <Ballig> it can be
23:11:29 <Ballig> it's why a lot of DMs restrict sources
23:13:56 <Zerginwan> so - we havea lot of useless info)
23:16:34 <Zerginwan> and about this: "4E is more streamlined for battle/appeals more to the MMORPG crowd" system must systematize battle. Not life. Coz life-systematize - DM's object.
23:16:36 <Zerginwan> bb
23:16:39 Zerginwan ([email protected]) has left #d&d (Once you know what it is you want to be true, instinct is a very useful device for enabling you to know that it is)
23:34:22 <Avatar> it will be holywar
23:34:38 <Ballig> he's russian
23:34:41 <Avatar> he seemed like a friendly bloke
23:34:43 <Ballig> it's actually really hard for russians to learn english
