05:57:50 <Brunius_AFK> Avatar, redirecting from your post office ot the locker will just take longer T.T
05:57:54 <Brunius_AFK> to*
06:03:43 <Ballig> but it means he doesn't have to get to the post office inside business hours
06:06:32 <Avatar> yeah it's worth the wait

18:04:17 Topic for #d&d set by Avatar at Thu Oct 27 17:05:04 2011
18:04:17 <***> Buffer Playback...
18:04:17 <***> Playback Complete.
18:08:53 <Mekkis> Avatar, you know that I generally avoid changing /topic
18:09:03 <Ballig> yeah he was insisting he had
18:09:04 <Ballig> but he was lying
18:13:50 <Avatar> I had changed it
18:15:54 <Mekkis> Ballig, in City of Strangers 2, did you introduce the PCs to the White Lady?
18:16:04 <Avatar> the who?
18:16:30 <Ballig> I don't even remember there being a White Lady anywhere in that scenario
18:16:58 <Mekkis> ooh
18:17:08 <Ballig> are you making it up
18:17:12 <Mekkis> no
18:17:17 <Ballig> I think you're making it up
18:17:29 <Mekkis> but that's why you should read more about Kaer Maga
18:17:45 <Ballig> I'm not going to read about kaer maga just to run a scenario
18:17:46 <Mekkis> I should run Godsmouth Heresy
18:17:55 <Ballig> if she's not in the scenario, I'm not going to introduce them to her
18:19:39 <Mekkis> she?
18:26:01 <Ballig> are you telling me the white lady is a guy?
18:26:23 <Ballig> I think after introducing them to Miss Feathers, the male human prostitute, they probably had enough of that
18:26:43 <Avatar> miss feathers was the funniest encounter I have ever played of PFS
18:36:29 <Avatar> ballig you still got a level 1er don't you
18:36:39 <Ballig> samsuhn is level 1
18:36:45 <Avatar> for one more level yeah
18:36:50 <Avatar> one more scenario*
18:36:51 <Ballig> one more scenario
18:37:11 <Avatar> you'll need another character
18:37:22 <Avatar> otherwise you won't get to play parts 2 and 3
18:37:31 <Avatar> well, won't get credit
18:42:51 <Avatar> Mekkis: where are you running beginner's box bash?
18:45:55 <Ballig> maybe I'll make a bard
18:49:58 <MekkisScreen> goodgames brisbane
18:56:56 <Ballig> although I wouldn't mind playing an alchemist
18:57:28 <Avatar> Ballig: you broke the topic
18:57:55 <Ballig> how
18:57:59 <Avatar> look at it
18:58:03 <Ballig> what about it
18:58:13 <Avatar> the 23rd was last week
18:58:27 <Ballig> was it ever changed
18:58:31 <Avatar> yes
18:58:52 <Ballig> [4:59:18 AM] * Avatar changes topic to 'PFS: Sun 23rd 10am (Mekkis) |LSK: Sat 7.30pm || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE by the Friday before! || EM: Sat 2pm | CotE: Sun 3.30pm'
18:58:54 <Ballig> that's the last topic change
18:59:08 <Avatar> no there was a change after that
18:59:11 <Ballig> no there wasn't
18:59:14 <Ballig> I just searched "topic"
18:59:15 <Avatar> yes there was
18:59:16 <Ballig> in my buffer
18:59:24 <Avatar> isn't that how your topic correcting thing works
18:59:29 <Ballig> no
18:59:31 <Avatar> if it doesn't find it, it 'fixes' it
18:59:43 <Ballig> no
18:59:48 <Ballig> it just sets it to the last topic every hour
19:00:08 <Avatar> alright well wait here I'll check my logs
19:00:11 <Avatar> I guess it's possible i've lost my mind
19:00:12 <Ballig> it only screws up and skips to an older topic if I crash
19:00:19 <Ballig> but 100% the last topic change was the one I pasted
19:01:59 <Avatar> ok I changed LSK but not PFS
19:02:04 <Avatar> you win this time gadget
19:02:22 <Avatar> Mekkis: are we doing sunday 10am?
19:02:57 <Tashes> Bards go toodleoodleoo
19:03:01 <Tashes> and kill stuff with lutes.
19:03:46 <Avatar> I can run first steps on saturday morning
19:04:07 <Avatar> or we be goblins if we don't have enough 1st levellers
19:07:33 <Ballig> they sure do !
19:38:28 <Brunius_AFK> That was odd.
19:38:43 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
19:39:13 <Brunius> 6pm: I'm kinda tired, I'll just close my eyes for a bit
19:39:26 <Brunius> 8pm: Holy shit what time is it
19:40:28 <Ballig> sounds like you fell asleep
19:49:13 <Brunius> Sounds like it.
20:01:46 <Brunius> brb restarting
20:02:04 Brunius has quit (Quit: )
20:10:05 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:34:58 <Mekkis> Avatar, do you want me to run First Steps 2 and 3?
20:54:02 <Avatar> yeah, I haven't played them
20:54:13 <Avatar> Mellon can only do one or the other
20:56:09 <Avatar> Brunius: people tell me that cd key for bf3 is likely dodgy
20:56:10 <Mekkis> hmmm
20:56:24 <Mekkis> Bestiary for $AU31.71 delivered
20:57:48 <Mekkis> damn you ING for giving me 25% off at an online bookstore
20:57:58 canine ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:58:21 <Mekkis> you're increasing the amount I spend at said bookstore by an infinite proportion!
20:58:45 <Avatar> what is ING
20:58:52 <Mekkis> the bank
20:59:23 <Avatar> I will join
20:59:40 <Avatar> well I probably won't
21:00:05 <Mekkis> luckily, they only have seven Paizo titles
21:00:10 <Mekkis> http://thenile.com.au/books/Paizo-Publishing/
21:00:42 <Mekkis> oops
21:00:44 <Mekkis> they don't
21:14:06 <Brunius> Avatar: I know people that have ordered from there many times before.
21:14:27 <Avatar> so you reckon it's a solid deal
21:14:32 <Avatar> do you know anyone who's bought THIS one
21:15:02 <Brunius> This one, no.
21:15:09 <Brunius> (I probably will fairly soon though)
21:15:27 <Brunius> Do they accept paypal?
21:16:32 <Avatar> no idea
21:16:44 <Avatar> when I was told my account would likely get shut down, I sort of balked at the idea
21:16:52 <Brunius> Ha
21:17:15 <Brunius> I don't have anything else on my Origin account, so if it doesn't work, I won't lose anything.
21:17:29 <Brunius> If they accept paypal and it all goes crazy, you can force your money back, at least.
21:18:58 <Mekkis> Avatar, yes, I do
21:19:16 <Mekkis> free shipping
21:19:24 <Mekkis> so it's cheaper than Amazon
21:19:30 <Mekkis> (and faster, as it's in .au)
21:20:30 <Brunius> Mekkis, I dunno.
21:20:42 <Brunius> I've had stuff from Amazon arrive in 5 days
21:20:59 <Brunius> And from Queensland take more than two weeks.
21:21:13 <Mekkis> Brunius, with the "fast shipping"
21:21:22 <Mekkis> that costs over $10 per book
21:21:40 <Avatar> Mekkis: yes you do what
21:22:04 <Mekkis> <Avatar> so you reckon it's a solid deal
21:22:16 <Avatar> talking to brunius
21:22:24 <Avatar> I can't say I'm not completely tempted
21:22:30 <Avatar> especially since my account is empty at the moment
21:27:29 <Avatar> I finished that book I bought my kindle for
21:27:34 <Avatar> so now I don't need my kindle
21:27:37 <Avatar> anyone want to buy it
21:27:42 <Brunius> Ha
21:27:45 <Brunius> How much?
21:27:50 <Avatar> $139
21:27:54 <Brunius> No.
21:27:56 <Avatar> hardly used
21:28:00 <Brunius> I'll give you 5 dorra.
21:28:09 <Brunius> You sell da 5 dorra?
21:28:57 <Mekkis> ah
21:29:07 <Mekkis> Baba Yaga has 20+ levels of witch
21:29:13 <Brunius> Ha
21:29:34 <Mekkis> Jakalyn cheated
21:29:35 <Brunius> So what happens when Eidren goes crazy and charges at her?
21:29:55 <Mekkis> please do!
21:29:56 <Avatar> I feel really silly not buying that bf3 key if it is legit, knowing I want to buy the game at some point
21:30:03 <Avatar> it will likely be a long time before it gets anywhere near that price
21:30:23 <Brunius> Dude, BF2 is still like $20
21:30:40 <Avatar> yeah
21:30:44 <Avatar> that's what I'm saying
21:30:47 <Avatar> it is a brilliant price
21:30:50 <Brunius> Yeah
21:31:10 <Avatar> once it goes up to $60 it probably won't be worth the risk
21:31:12 <Avatar> but $35
21:31:39 <Brunius> I think I heard something about the government introducing legislation making it illegal for retailers to sell at too far above overseas prices.
21:31:43 <Brunius> But don't quote me on that.
21:31:47 <Brunius> I could be wrong.
21:32:28 <Avatar> I mean I just bought a new machine and that would be a nice game to test it out on
21:33:06 <Brunius> Yeah man.
21:33:07 <Brunius> Totally.
21:33:18 <Brunius> This old computer you're trying to sell me.
21:33:22 <Brunius> Still got it?
21:33:29 <Avatar> I am pulling it apart
21:33:36 <Brunius> kk
21:33:38 <Avatar> do you want the leftovers
21:33:46 <Brunius> Maybe.
21:33:49 <Brunius> Depends what there is.
21:34:10 <Avatar> a case, a mobo, a cpu, 4gb ram
21:34:22 <Brunius> What form factor is the case?
21:34:27 <Avatar> I admit that I think I decided to upgrade a bit too early
21:34:31 <Avatar> it's uh
21:34:32 <Brunius> What are the specs of the mobo/cpu?
21:34:33 <Avatar> midi ?
21:34:41 <Brunius> midi?
21:34:43 <Avatar> good grief now you're asking me the hard questions
21:34:47 <Avatar> what form factors are there
21:34:48 <canine> he means atx/btx
21:34:56 <Avatar> I don't know
21:35:05 <Avatar> it has good ventilation
21:35:12 <canine> if the case is more then 3-4 years old its probably atx
21:35:24 <canine> if its newer than that it could be either
21:35:57 <Avatar> 2005 I think
21:36:28 <Brunius> Prolly atx then
21:37:47 <canine> So I just ate two slices of floor pizza
21:37:54 <canine> and it was a little crunchier than it should have been.
21:38:06 <Avatar> was there a bug in it
21:38:10 <canine> I hope not.
21:38:16 <Avatar> you didn't check ??
21:38:23 <Avatar> I guess you wouldn't want to know
21:38:35 <Brunius> Floor pizza?
21:38:36 <canine> I looked to make sure there weren't any particularly noticable things in it
21:39:07 <canine> yeah, dropped half a pizza on the floor on the way to the fridge yesterday, they all landed rightside up and I didnt' want to throw it away.
21:39:28 <canine> so I went with the 5 second rule.
21:39:44 <Avatar> you know that rule is completely wrong
21:39:51 <canine> Yep.
21:40:14 <canine> My floor is pretty clean though.
21:40:23 <canine> just sand that I track in in the mornings
21:40:41 <canine> And I've eaten worse.
21:40:49 <Brunius> I've heard that the 5 second rule is pretty much the same as the 5-day rule...
21:41:18 <canine> minus the decay and mold that would spring up, yeah
21:42:17 <Mekkis> Brunius, what about the 100 Celsius rule?
21:42:30 <Brunius> Never heard of it.
21:42:52 <canine> boiling makes everything healthy?
21:42:57 <canine> sounds reasonable.
21:42:59 <Mekkis> pretty much
21:43:22 <Brunius> Mmmm
21:43:38 <canine> I trust the microwave
21:43:51 <canine> 1 minute of microwaving probably sanitizes anything
21:44:11 <canine> Gotta run though, bbl
21:44:16 canine has quit (Quit: Leaving)
21:49:09 * Brunius has finally finished his homework
21:51:55 <Avatar> Brunius: http://hitgamesstore.com/
21:53:50 <Brunius> You trust those guys more than the other guys?
21:54:03 <Brunius> They're specifically claiming that they're legit....
21:55:06 <Mekkis> Brunius, you don't trust Avatar's Authentic Genuine Seal of Irrevocable Approval from Ballig Magazine?
21:55:56 <Brunius> No.
21:56:05 <Mekkis> it's Authentic
21:56:07 <Mekkis> and Genuine
21:59:36 <Brunius> So?
21:59:54 <Mekkis> regardless
22:00:00 <Mekkis> do you know if the game is any good?
22:00:00 <Brunius> Avatar: I won't be able to order from them for a while anyway, so you go ahead and order and tell me if they're legit :P
22:00:10 <Brunius> BF3?
22:00:13 <Mekkis> ja
22:00:31 <Brunius> From what I've seen, it looks pretty good.
22:00:38 <Mekkis> have you played it?
22:00:42 <Brunius> I didn't play in the open beta though, so I don't know.
22:00:48 <Brunius> Running XP, so I couldn't.
22:00:55 <Mekkis> then why not try it first?
22:00:59 <Brunius> Besides the fact that my CPU can't handle it.
22:01:04 <Brunius> Elaborate?
22:01:13 <Mekkis> download it
22:01:15 <Mekkis> obv
22:01:30 <Brunius> Hurr durr
22:01:38 <Mekkis> ?
22:01:39 <Brunius> Download it as in torrent it?
22:01:48 <Mekkis> well, I would use usenet
22:01:57 <Mekkis> because it's faster and more anonymous
22:02:08 <Mekkis> (and no seeding is required)
22:02:24 <Brunius> Mmmmmm
22:02:40 <Brunius> I'll think about it when I get my new CPU.
22:03:00 <Mekkis> you're just upgrading the CPU?
22:03:02 <Mekkis> not the other stuff
22:03:05 <Brunius> Yeah
22:03:12 <Mekkis> what's your current CPU?
22:03:16 <Brunius> The CPU is pretty much the only thing I can still upgrade on this thing
22:03:25 <Brunius> Pentium 4 HT, 2.99GHz
22:03:31 <Brunius> LGA 775
22:03:40 <Mekkis> you won't find a CPU on the market that will fit in that board
22:03:47 <Mekkis> what chipset are you using?
22:03:50 <Brunius> I can and have.
22:04:04 <Brunius> How do I find out?
22:04:10 <Mekkis> device manager?
22:04:12 <Brunius> I might know, just not by that name
22:04:33 <Mekkis> do you know what motherboard you have?
22:04:42 <Brunius> The default one :P
22:04:55 <Mekkis> (have you upgraded your motherboard since you got that PC?)
22:05:00 <Brunius> Nope.
22:05:15 <Mekkis> then you won't find a CPU on the market that will work in that board
22:05:21 <Brunius> I can and have.
22:05:28 <Mekkis> you've found one that fits
22:05:35 <Brunius> Yep.
22:05:36 <Mekkis> just because it fits doesn't mean it works
22:05:43 <Mekkis> I've had that issue in the past
22:05:51 <Brunius> Everything I've checked seems to work.
22:05:51 <Mekkis> with LGA775 CPUs not working
22:06:31 <Mekkis> Brunius, tell you what: I have a CPU lying around that I'm not using: it's a core 2 something
22:06:34 <Mekkis> LGA775
22:06:40 <Mekkis> want me to mail it to you?
22:06:51 <Brunius> What's the catch?
22:07:01 <Brunius> And why do you have a spare CPU lying around?
22:07:23 <Mekkis> because I planned to put it in an LGA775 board I got from work
22:07:30 <Mekkis> turns out that the board doesn't support the CPU
22:07:35 <Brunius> gg
22:07:38 <Mekkis> even though they're both LGA775
22:07:59 <Mekkis> actually
22:08:11 <Brunius> This is the one I'm planning to get http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=7906
22:08:23 <Mekkis> I just realised that I have a dual dual core xeon sitting on my bedroom flaw
22:08:26 <Mekkis> floor even
22:08:28 <Brunius> flaw?
22:08:48 <Mekkis> ah
22:08:51 <Mekkis> the E6600
22:08:54 <Mekkis> I had one of them
22:08:58 <Brunius> but...
22:09:14 <Mekkis> I'm not using the dual dual core xeon
22:11:23 <Mekkis> it sounds like a chinook
22:11:32 <Mekkis> except with more fans
22:11:57 <Brunius> ,,,
22:12:35 <Mekkis> it has 12 fans on it
22:12:50 <Mekkis> not including the two fans in each power supply
22:13:01 <Brunius> Each power supply?
22:13:04 <Mekkis> yeah
22:13:05 <Brunius> Imply you have more than one?
22:13:06 <Mekkis> it has two
22:13:24 <Mekkis> you can remove them while the machine is running
22:16:13 <Mekkis> looks like there are hardly any pathfinders over level 11
22:18:16 <Mekkis> The Virtues of Rule (wealth, fertility, honest pride, abundance, eager striving, righteous anger, and well-deserved rest), passed down from the goddess Lissala and First King Xin himself were seen as the benefits of power, and each of the runelords was drawn towards one of the seven. Over the course of time, the runelords corrupted these into what modern scholars understand to be the "great sins of the soul," abandoning the positive aspects of each
22:18:16 <Mekkis> and embracing the negative connotations of each (greed, lust, boastful pride, gluttony, envy, wrath, and sloth) as the rewards of rule.
23:18:38 <Mekkis> but Brunius, run cpu-z and it'll tell you what motherboard you're running
