12:48:02 <Mekkis> Avatar-, you've never asked
12:49:03 <Avatar-> asked what
12:49:13 <Mekkis> to see CA working on my phone
12:49:28 <Avatar-> pretty sure I did
12:50:12 <Avatar-> "show me"is enough, don't wait for me to ask show me ca connected and working with another client
12:50:26 <Avatar-> ps., have you played AMNESIA
12:50:34 <Mekkis> no I haven't played Amnesia
12:50:48 <Mekkis> I did however demonstrate DevCA running on my phone at Arcanacon
12:51:01 <Mekkis> I have also played several sessions of LSK on my phone
12:51:36 <Mekkis> oh
12:51:48 <Mekkis> and I wrote a fix for the checksum collision issue in DevCA
13:02:13 <Mekkis> what is amnesia?
13:02:55 <Avatar-> nodwik
13:03:41 <Avatar-> I totally think ca could work on mobile if multitasking was done correctly with it, like andchat does
13:06:31 <MekkisScreen> it does
13:06:44 <MekkisScreen> I've got it working on my mobile
13:08:02 <Avatar-> a horror game
13:08:15 <Mekkis> Avatar-, Paizo just released a few more chronicle sheets
13:08:18 <Mekkis> I got one of them :)
13:09:21 <Avatar-> you mean the novels
13:09:25 <Mekkis> yeah
13:09:33 <Avatar-> yeah I saw that
13:09:42 <Avatar-> what's the boon
13:10:16 <Mekkis> Corpselight Rapier (21,320 gp; this +2 undead-bane rapier is ornate and covered with thousands of tiny spirals
13:10:16 <Mekkis> of Pharasma, with the tail of a single large spiral stretching half the length of the blade. Designed for
13:10:16 <Mekkis> hunting and dispatching the undead, the unsheathed blade glows when and undead are within a 6-ft.
13:10:16 <Mekkis> radius. Unfortunately, its antipathy with undead also acts as a beacon, and undead within 1 mile of the
13:10:16 <Mekkis> blade can sense its presence and direction, even when the sword is sheathed.)
13:11:45 <Avatar-> what does bane do again
13:12:05 <Avatar-> that +2 is vs everything isn't it, not just undead
13:12:12 <Mekkis> yeah
13:12:22 <Mekkis> Prince of Wolves: Your experiences with the Sczarni of the Prince’s Wolves have given you insight into
13:12:22 <Mekkis> dealing with werewolves and other lycanthropes, and you are unphased by their bestial natures. You
13:12:22 <Mekkis> receive a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks against lycanthropes. Additionally, the Intimdate
13:12:22 <Mekkis> DC for a lycanthrope to demoralize you is 2 higher than normal.
13:12:26 <Avatar-> don't tell me it just glows
13:13:05 <Avatar-> putting that on nightmare
13:13:25 <Avatar-> you and your diplomacy
13:13:41 <Avatar-> amnesia is uh, interesting
13:14:01 <Avatar-> people were saying it's the scariest game ever and I was sceptical
13:14:15 <Avatar-> I played it last night, lights off and the rest
13:14:51 <Avatar-> I'd seen a youtube gameplay video and wasn't impressed at all
13:15:12 <Avatar-> people seem to overreact to things that aren't scary at all
13:15:31 <Avatar-> but the game does have its moments
13:16:55 <Avatar-> the reason I mention it was because my attitude in playing the game was largely "even though my character needs light to retain sanity, what actually happens if I let my sanity drop? I can still see, so I don't want to waste my light"
13:17:22 <Avatar-> you have a sanity rating basically
13:17:55 <MekkisScreen> hmmm
13:18:01 <Avatar-> and I had no real problem walking right up to things that I clearly was meant to be very freaked out about
13:18:12 <MekkisScreen> would it work on irc at all?
13:18:15 <Avatar-> because, hell, it's a game
13:18:29 <Avatar-> amnesia?
13:18:33 <Avatar-> it's on steam
13:18:51 <Avatar-> it's a first person... shooter, without shooting
13:19:29 <Avatar-> there's your shadow who is hunting you and you can't do anything to stop him
13:19:31 <MekkisScreen> oh, I thought it was an RPG
13:19:43 <Avatar-> or so your diary says
13:19:56 <Avatar-> yeah sorry, first person rpg
13:20:19 <Avatar-> you have an inventory and you have to work out what is going on
13:21:08 <Avatar-> made me think about how you don't think I roleplay enough
13:21:23 <MekkisScreen> hmm
13:21:25 <Avatar-> sanity is just a number
13:21:44 <Avatar-> what happens if I run up to the big scary thing
13:22:01 <Avatar-> there are some very spooky moments in it
13:22:15 <Avatar-> nothing that made me jump though
13:22:26 <Avatar-> no cheap thrills, which is good
13:23:06 <Avatar-> the game tells you right from the start, run or hide, but don't try to fight back
13:24:41 <Avatar-> I wasn't going to buy it after watching youtube, but it was on sale for $4 and icey mentioned it again
13:26:44 <Avatar-> I'm talking on a real phone :p
13:27:26 <Avatar-> I haven't actually seen it properly on yours
13:27:44 <Avatar-> connected to a server
13:27:58 <Avatar-> have you played AMNESIA ?
13:28:39 <MekkisScreen> hm
13:37:43 <Nodwik> hello
13:41:25 <MekkisScreen> Prince of wolves is a pretty good book...
13:42:28 <Avatar-> where have you been nodwik
13:42:40 <Avatar-> missing some sweet pfs
13:57:03 Nodwik is now known as Nodwik_sleeping_then_work

16:10:44 Brunius ([email protected]) has left #d&d
16:15:00 <Avatar-> what did you say
16:15:16 <Avatar-> making poor brunius leave like that
16:19:19 Avatar- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
16:25:35 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
16:26:42 <Avatar-> dumb tunnel
16:27:02 <Ballig> dumb tunnel
16:42:23 <MekkisScreen> I don't like seeing brunius getting ripped off
16:46:26 <Avatar> you don't even know what he got
16:46:46 Avatar- has quit (Quit: go get analysed)
16:49:22 <Avatar> so still no eidren today
16:49:25 <Avatar> I reckon he might've vanished
16:51:23 <MekkisScreen> I do
16:51:32 <MekkisScreen> he said "same as last one"
16:51:37 <Avatar> oh
16:51:44 <Avatar> hope he didn't pay more than $15 for it
16:54:36 <MekkisScreen> I know... I use CPUs like that to mount miniatures on
16:55:05 <Avatar> I use them as fridge magnets
16:59:14 <Avatar> nice, DC universe online went free to play
17:00:11 <Avatar> I wonder what I get for having paid for it
18:20:48 <Avatar> good news
18:21:29 <Avatar> we're taking so long to get LSK on that shadow_mask is actually going to be able to take his spot again
18:23:40 <Avatar> Mekkis: can you confirm/reject that timeslot when you get un-afk
18:25:20 <Avatar> Ballig: are you about
18:25:32 <Ballig> sup
18:27:34 <Avatar> I don't remember
18:27:37 <Avatar> oh yeah
18:27:44 <Avatar> where is your getting started guide for the site
18:27:47 <Avatar> are you still working on that
18:27:50 <Avatar> or what are you doing with it
18:27:58 <Ballig> wasn't I waiting for your input
18:28:08 <Avatar> were you
18:28:15 <Avatar> I'll keep trying to put something else together if you are
18:28:16 <Ballig> wasn't I
18:28:26 <Avatar> I don't know, I think anything's better than nothing
18:28:48 <Avatar> I think you think differently
18:30:19 <Avatar> I don't have the URL for yours anymore either, what was it
18:30:32 <Avatar> put a link somewhere
18:30:49 <Avatar> even in an article if it's temporary
18:31:00 <Ballig> http://dnd.ballig.net/started.html http://dnd.ballig.net/gettingstarted.htm
18:31:02 <Ballig> from memory
18:31:14 <Avatar> my one's newbie_guide.htm
18:31:52 <Avatar> I moved the icons to the right in my one, which looks better, but I think they're still too distracting
18:32:19 <Avatar> and the font shits me
18:32:22 <Avatar> I tried to adapt to the site
18:32:28 <Avatar> but verdana just doesn't work
20:29:12 <Avatar> hey nodwik, wake up
20:29:14 <Avatar> and we'll play a game
20:34:42 <Ballig> who will
20:36:21 <Avatar> we will
20:36:33 <Ballig> I won't
20:36:38 <Avatar> why not
20:36:52 <Avatar> I thought you liked experience points
20:37:54 <Avatar> I know I do
20:38:10 <Ballig> not on weeknights
20:38:11 <Ballig> you know this
20:38:27 <Avatar> I thought you liked experience points
20:39:47 <Ballig> not on weeknights
20:39:57 <Avatar> that seems a lie
20:40:08 <Avatar> everyone likes experience points
20:40:12 <Ballig> on weeknights experience can suck my balls
20:40:13 <Avatar> time isn't a factor
20:40:27 <Avatar> it's like saying you only like being happy on weekends
20:40:38 <Avatar> just doesn't sit right with me
20:40:44 <Ballig> sucks for you then
20:40:54 <Avatar> oh I'm happy on all occasions
20:41:01 <Avatar> I appreciate my experience points
20:41:12 <Avatar> I give them all the lovin' they need
20:45:19 <Avatar> http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/samsung-galaxy-s2/
20:45:25 <Avatar> $499
20:56:05 <Ballig> I already have a galaxy
21:14:34 <Avatar> ah but do you have a $500 galaxy S2 ...?
21:17:48 <Ballig> I have two
21:18:29 <Avatar> that's a lie
21:20:18 <Ballig> I use one as a door wedge
21:21:30 <MekkisScreen> heh
21:22:54 <Avatar> is your DCUO still updating
21:25:05 <Ballig> no
21:25:13 <Ballig> finished updating maybe 2 minutes after you said it was free to play
21:28:33 <Avatar> bullshit
21:29:38 <Ballig> no it did
21:34:22 <Avatar> mine was at about 50% when I said it and it's at 73% now
21:41:03 <Ballig> I don't know when mine started
21:41:09 <Ballig> it was at like 65% when I got home from work
21:41:29 <Ballig> man the hell, that was an 11gb update
21:41:36 <Ballig> I do not like steam just updating 11gb without asking me
21:42:52 <Avatar> then tell it not to

22:02:55 <Mekkis> Avatar, I can't confirm Saturday 7:30, due to daylight savings. I will try to make it though
22:03:05 <Avatar> what's better for you
22:03:21 <Mekkis> 2:30
22:03:32 <Mekkis> or 8:30
22:04:08 <Avatar> I'll check up on those
22:04:20 <Avatar> let's assume 8.30
22:04:30 Avatar has changed the topic to: PFS: Sun 10am (Mekkis) | LSK: Sat 19th 8.30pm || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE by the Friday before! || EM: Sat 2pm | CotE: Sun 3.30pm
22:05:01 <Mekkis> also: is it possible to put PFS to Sat 2:30pm?
22:05:08 <Mekkis> your time...
22:05:15 <Avatar> course, it's your game
22:05:20 <Avatar> you reailse I won't be in for it
22:05:38 Avatar has changed the topic to: PFS: Sat 2.30pm (Mekkis) | LSK: Sat 19th 8.30pm || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE by the Friday before! || EM: Sat 2pm | CotE: Sun 3.30pm
22:05:39 <Mekkis> that's why I asked
22:06:03 <Avatar> asking if I can make 2.30?
22:06:07 <Mekkis> yes
22:06:14 <Avatar> no, I'm unavailable all weekend
22:06:20 <Mekkis> oh
22:06:39 <Avatar> there might be an offchance I'll be free, but that's unlikely
22:07:03 <Avatar> and if it turns out I'm available, it'll be impromptu
22:07:15 <Avatar> i'm happy for you guys to play me through it
22:07:17 <Mekkis> well, if there are sufficient players, I'll run something like Beginner box or first steps
22:07:48 <Avatar> we have enough people to finish that scenario if Eidren doesn't come back, don't we
22:10:28 <Mekkis> yeah
22:10:33 <Mekkis> it won't be as interesting though
22:11:08 <Avatar> haha yeah
22:11:20 <Avatar> actually uh
22:11:24 <Avatar> did we have 4 or 5?
22:11:32 <Mekkis> five
22:11:33 <Avatar> I remember him, me, ballig, brunius
22:11:36 <Mekkis> canine
22:11:36 <Avatar> who was the 5th
22:11:40 <Avatar> canine! that's right
22:11:44 <Avatar> good old canine
22:11:57 <Mekkis> do you have Brunius' address?
22:12:02 <Avatar> nope
22:12:05 <Avatar> he thinks I will stalk him
22:12:07 <Avatar> ha ha ha !
22:12:22 <Mekkis> I have a 3.2Ghz P4 LGA775 that I haven't mounted a miniature on yet
22:12:30 <Avatar> seriously he has some thing against telling me where he lives
22:18:25 <Avatar> bossman apparently has another channel
22:19:39 <Avatar> DCUO is at 89%
22:33:20 <Avatar> Ballig: bossman thinks my newbie guide is better than yours
22:39:04 <Avatar> he thought the icons were buttons though
22:46:51 <Avatar> it'd be good to try and get graylight back
22:46:57 <Avatar> he'd make a good PFS player
