(8:25:43 AM) ChrisReid: asking all kinds of questions that could make someone look like a dofus
(8:25:50 AM) Natreg: Dundradal another of my stupid questions :)
(8:25:52 AM) LOAFB: Another good reporter/shark is the lemon shark.

(8:26:27 AM) Natreg: ups
(8:26:32 AM) Jason_Ryock: lol
(8:26:32 AM) ChrisReid: so while I'm happy that they cut out my awkward replies to questions like "do you live with your mom?" or "have you ever used super soakers to pick up girls?"
(8:26:33 AM) Dundradal: if you just throw in 8 players
(8:26:35 AM) Dundradal: and 4 show up
(8:26:38 AM) Dundradal: the game will never launch
(8:26:38 AM) Jason_Ryock: To bad we don't have 8 players
(8:26:40 AM) Dundradal: ok
(8:26:42 AM) Natreg: lol
(8:26:43 AM) Dundradal: ALL WCP MPers

(9:28:40 AM) Musicguru: impossible question -> how old is loaf really? :P
(9:28:44 AM) Trelane: ooh, I need a new CIC shirt
(9:28:48 AM) Trelane: My old one has lots of holes
(9:28:58 AM) Trelane: hehehe, it's the original CIC T-shirt
(9:29:01 AM) Trelane: from like 12 years ago
(9:29:04 AM) Frosty: I don't like wearing polos because they enhance the visibility of my manboobs.
(9:29:07 AM) Musicguru: lol
(9:29:08 AM) Dundradal: I still want one of those Confed Star cups
(9:29:13 AM) Frosty: Also if you pinch a polo it never goes flat again.
(9:29:17 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:29:22 AM) bobbings: I actually won one of those, years ago
(9:29:25 AM) ChrisReid: maybe we'll do a 13th Anniversary birthday shirt next year
(9:29:28 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I have that CIC glass. Still haven't used it.
(9:29:29 AM) LOAFB: Q. Name three planets seen on Wing Commander Academy (TV).
(9:29:29 AM) bobbings: It got lost somehow and I never got it
(9:29:35 AM) Trelane: What you need to do is totally rock your abs and your quads
(9:29:38 AM) Madman: wow thats a serious question
(9:29:43 AM) Trelane: Turn those manboobs into solid diesel
(9:29:44 AM) Musicguru: lol
(9:29:45 AM) Frosty: I think my quads might be okay.
(9:29:47 AM) Stone48420: yeah
(9:29:47 AM) wcs: Indeed......
(9:29:49 AM) LOAFB: Tell me about it--and it was four before I decided that was too hard.
(9:29:49 AM) Frosty: I'm not even sure I have abs.
(9:29:49 AM) t_c_cgi: Wiki that one! Harr...
(9:30:06 AM) Stone48420: I pass on this one

(9:30:16 AM) Trelane: Earth, Kilrah, and Planet P
(9:30:16 AM) blonde: You shouldn't be wearing a shirt on your quads anyways
(9:30:21 AM) Natreg: dolos
(9:30:24 AM) Natreg: that's one
(9:30:28 AM) Natreg: but I don't remember the others
(9:30:28 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:30:29 AM) Frosty: What are quads anyway?
(9:30:31 AM) blonde: Everyone has abs.  You just need to find them.
(9:30:34 AM) Frosty: I presume they're leg-related.
(9:30:35 AM) Musicguru: planet p - how about planet x?
(9:30:37 AM) Trelane: 12-packs of Coca-Cola, nimrod
(9:30:42 AM) ManfredImmelmann: Planet Piss
(9:30:44 AM) ChrisReid: I can't tell if abs are standard or an option on the mazdaspeed 6
(9:30:46 AM) LOAFB: Yeah, you shouldn't be wearing a shirt;-)
(9:30:47 AM) akula65: This is the CIC's way of getting you to download the show because they have extra bandwidth
(9:30:48 AM) ace: hehehe
(9:30:53 AM) Frosty: Planet Piss isn't a planet.
(9:30:57 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:30:58 AM) Musicguru: lol
(9:30:58 AM) Frosty: It's a side-project and you know it.
(9:30:59 AM) LOAFB: WEDGE WINS

(9:31:23 AM) Natreg: oasis I mean..
(9:31:24 AM) Natreg: damn
(9:31:25 AM) Frosty: Oh, I don't have especially diesel quads either.
(9:31:25 AM) HowieDay: crap
(9:31:30 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Congratulations!
(9:31:34 AM) Iceman16: dammit, I had dolos and oasis
(9:31:35 AM) Trelane: You need to rock those things
(9:31:37 AM) NinjaLA_: all I could remember was dolos and oasis
(9:31:39 AM) Trelane: Turn from a zero into a hero
(9:31:40 AM) Musicguru: i learned something new today
(9:31:40 AM) Iceman16: couldnt think of a third one
(9:31:41 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: I forgot about Oasis
(9:31:44 AM) Trelane: SOLID DIESEL
(9:31:48 AM) LOAFB: Other possible answers include Greenhouse... and that water planet which has a name that I can't remember now... and Sirius, from mthe first episode where the flight school is.
(9:31:49 AM) Stone48420: oasis was in space quest
(9:31:57 AM) Trelane: Oasis is one of those bands I find myself still liking after many many years
(9:32:00 AM) Trelane: Surprisingly
(9:32:05 AM) Wedge009: I only remembered Dioscuri from working on the WCPedia. You all should as well.
(9:32:05 AM) Frosty: I only like those two songs.
(9:32:08 AM) Frosty: The radio hits.
(9:32:30 AM) Dundradal: hehehe nice Wedge
(9:32:33 AM) LOAFB: Pisces, that was the water planet.
(9:32:41 AM) Trelane: Wonderwall and the other one
(9:32:41 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Hehe good way to give us a bad conscience Wedge :-)
(9:32:45 AM) LOAFB: Oh and Tortuga, from the pirate episode
(9:32:46 AM) Dundradal: I wanted to poke my eyes out earlier doing the tables
(9:32:49 AM) Frosty: Don't turn back in Anger or whatever.
(9:32:50 AM) Wedge009: I'm teasing, Mekt.
(9:32:56 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:33:00 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: I know ;-)
(9:33:03 AM) NinjaLA_: gah! I should have remembered sirius ant tortuga 
(9:33:04 AM) LOAFB: Guys this question was so easy now that I think about it. :)
(9:33:07 AM) bobbings: There's one written in the background briefing chart on one episode, isn't there?
(9:33:10 AM) ChrisReid: hehe
(9:33:16 AM) NinjaLA_: err and
(9:33:19 AM) bobbings: Or at least a system
(9:33:47 AM) LOAFB: Next up, a CIC glass to the man who can answer an easy question
(9:33:50 AM) Dundradal: everyone who gets it wrong gets a 3-day ban from the CZ?
(9:33:59 AM) Frosty: Deal.

(9:34:52 AM) Dundradal: yeah
(9:34:55 AM) wcs: Played privateer heavily, dont remember the price stuff............
(9:35:02 AM) bobbings: I'm telling you, you do.
(9:35:02 AM) Trelane: Remember to bring the magic fruit back to Daventry
(9:35:16 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Wait, the vulture was KQV.
(9:35:19 AM) LOAFB: One moment, there's a challenge
(9:35:29 AM) Frosty: A CHALLENGE
(9:35:32 AM) Frosty: Dispense the weapons.
(9:35:34 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: A CHALLENGE!

(9:36:14 AM) HowieDay: nice
(9:36:15 AM) NinjaLA_: oh.. my first guess was right
(9:36:21 AM) TimeShadow: i was gonna say Centurion but yay lol
(9:36:21 AM) Frosty: You gotta wear a mesh-back cap to drive an Orion.
(9:36:23 AM) HowieDay: I wasn't even clsoe
(9:36:24 AM) HowieDay: :P
(9:36:28 AM) Dundradal: 200,000 is centurion
(9:36:28 AM) t_c_cgi: Now you can get drunk about your dead girlfriend pilot in style.
(9:36:28 AM) bobbings: I wonder what a Tarsus sales pitch would go like
(9:36:29 AM) LOAFB: Iceheart was actually first with B&S Omni--I had to make sure I wasn't wrong about the price for that software.
(9:36:30 AM) TimeShadow: i never even played priv
(9:36:43 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: A ship cheaper than a single plasma gun...
(9:36:48 AM) Dundradal: wow
(9:36:48 AM) Obee: have fun with my later contribution ;)
(9:36:49 AM) Iceheart: What was the price? I just remember saving up for a while to get it.
(9:36:50 AM) Stone48420: its fun
(9:37:00 AM) ^Death_: Mekt, a reflection on the actual worth of the ship. :P
(9:37:02 AM) NinjaLA_: still costs more than a kraven laser
(9:37:05 AM) Wedge009: I never considered that. That's pretty funny.
(9:37:08 AM) t_c_cgi: Are you a homeless bum?  Then I'm telling you... you want a Tarsus!
(9:37:12 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Guess so Death :-)
(9:37:18 AM) Obee: bye :)
(9:37:24 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: bye
(9:37:25 AM) Obee left the room (quit: Quit: Obee).
(9:37:29 AM) Trelane: ABC-ya
(9:37:31 AM) LOAFB: Now lets give away a Wing Commander the Movie action figure!
(9:37:34 AM) Trelane: wooo
(9:37:35 AM) Stone48420: once you sell the tarsus is it possible to get it back?
(9:37:41 AM) HowieDay: nope
(9:37:44 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Hopefully the traitor
(9:37:51 AM) Iceman16: nope, once the tarsus is gone its gone forever
(9:37:53 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: I've never seen it despite having it
(9:37:53 AM) Natreg: there are action figures about the movie? O_o
(9:37:53 AM) LOAFB: Q. SCAVENGER HUNT: Be the first to link me to a picture of Shadow from wcnews.com.

(9:37:58 AM) LOAFB: Just MSG me the URL! Go go go!
(9:38:05 AM) wcs: The remake had a glitch I think, you could fly at speeds higher than normal by using autoslide and afterburner...
(9:38:07 AM) Trelane: oh, that's far too much work
(9:38:08 AM) Dundradal: Hey Grim
(9:38:33 AM) bobbings: Vega Strike is weird
(9:38:38 AM) theyCallMeGrim: Hey everybody!
(9:38:39 AM) wcs: Unless that also worked for the original privateer....

(9:45:45 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: That sounds like something Warren Zevon would say.
(9:45:54 AM) wcs: Haven't got a clue...
(9:45:56 AM) TimeShadow: Reminds me of Iceman for some reason...
(9:46:02 AM) LOAFB: Oh, I forgot to mention, this is a 'very hard' question.

(9:46:56 AM) wcs: LoL
(9:46:58 AM) LOAFB: Sorry, guess I had Privateer on the brain when I was writing thse.
(9:47:04 AM) Wedge009: Actually, no, I remembered that one after a bit of thinking.
(9:47:12 AM) LOAFB: Positive mental thinking?
(9:47:15 AM) Wedge009: Maybe?
(9:47:18 AM) ChrisReid: yeah, random prize works
(9:47:29 AM) Trelane: yay, random
(9:47:37 AM) Wedge009: Does the random prize choose from everyone? I should kill my clone, if that's the case.

(9:48:44 AM) HowieDay: smart, dude. Very smart
(9:48:50 AM) Trelane: I chose that because I came in an impressive 8th place in the soap box derby last week
(9:48:56 AM) Wedge009: Huh? How, Howie?
(9:48:58 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: You uncovered told my terrible secret!

(9:51:07 AM) NinjaLA_: I was way off

(9:51:10 AM) bobbings: Dash
(9:51:16 AM) akula65: Nice, Iceheart
(9:51:23 AM) Iceman16: dammit, I pressed enter too early :(
(9:51:25 AM) Iceheart: Nah, you just shoot missiles to distract the enemy and then..
(9:51:27 AM) bobbings: Good job
(9:51:36 AM) Dundradal: nice
(9:51:41 AM) Dundradal: the USG is a great book
(9:51:41 AM) Wedge009: I just realised: less than 10 minutes to midnight, UTC...
(9:51:45 AM) Musicguru: maniac solution - how to get slapped by women
(9:51:46 AM) TrelaneL [mcgallag@c-24-34-228-190.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(9:51:46 AM) #wingnut: mode (+o TrelaneL) by ChrisReid
(9:51:46 AM) bobbings: It would probably have helped had I ever seen the Maniac Solution card
(9:51:48 AM) LOAFB: Okay, next up is a 'hard' question, but anyone who watches popular TV can get it.
(9:51:56 AM) LeHah: Ho boy
(9:51:57 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: It's a Bones question.
(9:51:57 AM) Trelane2 [mcgallag@c-24-34-228-190.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(9:51:57 AM) #wingnut: mode (+o Trelane2) by ChrisReid
(9:52:04 AM) LOAFB: Nah, it's just the phrase, Maniac Solution--comes from a chapterlet in the WC1/2 guide.
(9:52:05 AM) akula65: I stopped watching TV in 2003
(9:52:12 AM) Trelane2: grr
(9:52:17 AM) LOAFB: Bones solves bones crimes at the bones institute.
(9:52:27 AM) bobbings: My parents love that show
(9:52:29 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehe
(9:52:30 AM) bobbings: For some reason
(9:52:42 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: was that the question?
(9:52:43 AM) LOAFB: This prize is for a WC CIC glass
(9:52:46 AM) bobbings: Well, they love Fringe, Bones is just on before it
(9:52:48 AM) LOAFB: Which are way more awesome than they sound
(9:52:52 AM) LOAFB: Q. What is Chris Reid's job?
(9:52:56 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehehehe
(9:52:59 AM) Trelane2: hehehe
(9:53:02 AM) LeHah: hehehehehehehehe
(9:53:03 AM) Trelane2: I learned that from 20/20 last week

(9:53:27 AM) Trelane left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(9:53:28 AM) LOAFB: Akula65 gets it (Boeing Engineer)
(9:53:35 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:53:36 AM) Trelane2: Boeing Scientist, idiot
(9:53:39 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Yeah
(9:53:41 AM) Iceheart: hehe
(9:53:41 AM) LOAFB: But kudos to everyone who said 'supersoaker'.
(9:53:42 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: That's what the website said.
(9:53:43 AM) t_c_cgi: I got the engineer part right at least.
(9:53:51 AM) LOAFB: Hehehe, yes, I would have accepted scientist.
(9:53:58 AM) NinjaLA_: that was awesome
(9:53:58 AM) Trelane2: Scientist is a funnier word
(9:53:59 AM) ChrisReid: hehe
(9:54:02 AM) akula65: Cool
(9:54:06 AM) Stone48420: so hes not a gamestop manager anymore?
(9:54:07 AM) bobbings: I thought Chris was in management
(9:54:09 AM) Musicguru: science!
(9:54:20 AM) bobbings: (for Boeing)
(9:54:25 AM) HowieDay: I am striking out sooo much here. :P
(9:54:40 AM) LOAFB: You won a random prize!
(9:54:42 AM) Iceheart: You had your luck to get you a prize howie, no worries

(9:54:52 AM) HowieDay: thanks for that.
(9:54:55 AM) Wedge009: I've never won a random prize. (:
(9:54:58 AM) LOAFB: Okay I have two very hard questions. Do you want the Privateer one or the non-Privateer one?
(9:55:03 AM) Madman: privateer
(9:55:05 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Both
(9:55:05 AM) HowieDay: privateer
(9:55:09 AM) Stone48420: both
(9:55:12 AM) Natreg: both at the same time
(9:55:12 AM) Wedge009: Five minutes!
(9:55:13 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:55:23 AM) CaptainXax: :(
(9:55:28 AM) LOAFB: Okay, for a deck of WC playing cards...
(9:55:30 AM) ChrisReid: trelane's actually the most accurate answer
(9:55:34 AM) LOAFB: Q. Where should I go to buy a shipment of weapons and nothing else?
(9:55:44 AM) TimeShadow: LOAF's house
(9:55:45 AM) Trelane2: Obviously. I'm a genius and I know everything
(9:55:47 AM) Natreg: lol
(9:55:50 AM) wcs: LoL
(9:55:57 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: I am not convinced of my answer
(9:56:04 AM) LOAFB: CaptainXax wins - Perry!
(9:56:08 AM) CaptainXax: ROFL
(9:56:10 AM) LeHah left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(9:56:15 AM) NinjaLA_: oh, right it was perry, not the pirates
(9:56:16 AM) akula65: Good job!
(9:56:21 AM) Musicguru: dang nice job - almost had it
(9:56:23 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Well, at least I got it right.
(9:56:30 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Congrats!
(9:56:31 AM) Wedge009: Oh, I was thinking of Lynch's mission, for some reason. x.x
(9:56:38 AM) LOAFB: The pirates have tonnes of awesme stuff.
(9:56:50 AM) Trelane2: Tonnes?
(9:56:51 AM) Iceheart: Slaves, drugs.. you can't go wrong
(9:56:55 AM) CaptainXax: I picked a random system that i randomnly remembered from reading the strategy guide as a kid.
(9:57:07 AM) wcs: Except when you encounter a patrol....
(9:57:07 AM) CaptainXax: no joke.
(9:57:20 AM) LOAFB: Okay, here's the next VERY HARD question that isn't from Privateer.
(9:57:21 AM) Dundradal: poor Perry
(9:57:35 AM) LOAFB: Winner gets a box of WC:CCG starters!
(9:57:49 AM) LOAFB: Q. Name a Wing Commander (not Privateer) mission that features no combat or chance for enemy encounters.
(9:58:28 AM) OMJoe-2: a hard one...
(9:58:31 AM) Wedge009: I have to admit, I'm sure I've seen this before, but I can't really remember...
(9:58:33 AM) LOAFB: An Academy mission you make yourself doesn't count. :)
(9:58:36 AM) NinjaLA_: pj
(9:58:37 AM) Wedge009: Aww.
(9:58:39 AM) NinjaLA_: err oh
(9:58:39 AM) CaptainXax: I can get this.
(9:58:40 AM) Madman: hehe
(9:58:41 AM) Iceheart: haha
(9:59:01 AM) Wedge009: Guaranteed no combat?
(9:59:03 AM) wcs: I prolly got it wrong......
(9:59:11 AM) Dundradal: I know one WC mod mission that has that
(9:59:30 AM) OMJoe-2: hehe
(9:59:35 AM) Wedge009: Oh... I bet this is to do with Arena.
(9:59:38 AM) Wedge009: Oops.
(9:59:40 AM) Stone48420: i said astroids mission in arena
(9:59:43 AM) LOAFB: No one is going to get this one.
(9:59:54 AM) Wedge009: There's combat in Arena?
(9:59:56 AM) Dundradal: Standoff Ep 5 Losing Path Mission 17 I think
(10:00:00 AM) Wedge009: Ha ha.
(10:00:01 AM) Dundradal: might be 16
(10:00:02 AM) OMJoe-2: then why did you ask it?
(10:00:07 AM) Madman: a simulator mission?
(10:00:10 AM) NinjaLA_: asteroids always has another ship attacking you
(10:00:14 AM) LOAFB: Because, beneath it all, I am a jerk.
(10:00:15 AM) Dundradal: 8pm....
(10:00:15 AM) Frosty: Oh are we playing ECKSBOCKS?
(10:00:19 AM) Natreg: lol
(10:00:23 AM) TimeShadow: 6
(10:00:25 AM) TimeShadow: *8
(10:00:28 AM) TimeShadow: lol fail
(10:00:30 AM) Wedge009: There is no mission?
(10:00:31 AM) wcs: Let me guess, there are none?
(10:00:35 AM) Trelane2: xBox three hundred and sixty
(10:00:41 AM) OMJoe-2: armada has missions that sometimes have no combat
(10:00:42 AM) Wedge009: Oh, it's birthday time, isn't it?
(10:00:48 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Very hard indeed
(10:00:54 AM) Dundradal: bring forth the cake
(10:00:55 AM) Musicguru: wow, that's really hard
(10:00:57 AM) LOAFB: The answer I was looking for was the Armada gauntlet patch mission--when you resume the gauntlet you have to fly a mission to deliver your new Arrow or Dralthi to your carrier.
(10:01:07 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehehe
(10:01:07 AM) Iceheart: Whoa
(10:01:08 AM) Trelane2: hehehehe
(10:01:09 AM) OMJoe-2: i was close

(10:01:17 AM) LOAFB: Okay, time for updates!
(10:01:18 AM) akula65: It's 8:00 PM
(10:01:19 AM) Wedge009: Wow. I thought you just have the password.

(10:02:27 AM) NinjaLA_: arena concepts! O_O
(10:02:30 AM) LOAFB: Now per tradition we'll take a ten minute break from trivia so y'all can check out what's new.
(10:02:30 AM) Wedge009: O
(10:02:33 AM) ChrisReid: this is by far a record birthday
(10:02:37 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Oh wow, nice.
(10:02:40 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: DVD files.

(10:02:46 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehe, Trelane
(10:02:50 AM) HowieDay: areana 3d model package has a download erro
(10:02:52 AM) HowieDay: error
(10:02:53 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: It wasn't 44.
(10:02:58 AM) LOAFB: Fixing now
(10:02:59 AM) wcs: Cool... Arena models..
(10:03:03 AM) Musicguru: i think i just say a post titled "in the beginning..." and yet i'm not at the beginning... wow that's a ton of updates
(10:03:04 AM) NinjaLA_: arena textures!
(10:03:05 AM) Madman: loaf the arena audio files dont work
(10:03:20 AM) HowieDay: can anyone else snag the arena art files?
(10:03:23 AM) Matt_Nelson [Matt_Nelso@c-76-106-240-13.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] entered the room.
(10:03:29 AM) ChrisReid: yeah, and when you get to the end, there's an "in conclusion" update
(10:03:33 AM) ChrisReid: and then there's more updates after that
(10:03:34 AM) Dundradal: Hey
(10:03:35 AM) Matt_Nelson: Heloo You All
(10:03:44 AM) LOAFB: Arena model is fixed
(10:03:49 AM) LOAFB: Reload and you should be able to get it
(10:03:54 AM) LOAFB: MNelson!!!!! Woo!
(10:04:04 AM) Trelane2: There are 45, to celebrate future president Mitt Romney
(10:04:06 AM) TimeShadow: YAY
(10:04:13 AM) Matt_Nelson: Oh I see alot of ol' friends
(10:04:13 AM) LOAFB: Fixing the audio now
(10:04:16 AM) Dundradal: Arena backstories?
(10:04:17 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: YOU LIED LOAF.
(10:04:19 AM) Dundradal: hell uyeah
(10:04:49 AM) ChrisReid: you guys might need more than 10 minutes
(10:04:57 AM) LOAFB: Audio should be fixed now
(10:05:01 AM) Wedge009: That was my thought too. (:
(10:05:01 AM) ChrisReid: unless you spend 13 seconds or less on each update
(10:05:03 AM) Mekt-Hakkikt: Very interesting stuff
(10:05:07 AM) LOAFB: LOAF lied, people died.
(10:05:23 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I should submit that to Kotaku.
(10:05:30 AM) DaveO: I might have a chance with trivia after people check out all of the updates
(10:05:33 AM) TimeShadow: Now that I've seen my name in the update I shall read it more throughly XP
(10:05:38 AM) LOAFB: Don't do that, I don't want their greasy mitts on our stuff.
(10:05:51 AM) LOAFB: They'd be all "ooh, for the win" and "lol politoad"
(10:05:54 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehe
(10:05:56 AM) Iceheart left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(10:06:04 AM) LOAFB: And they're USE! EXCLAMATION! POINTS! FOR! NO! REASON!
(10:06:09 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Well, those places will discover it eventually.
(10:06:13 AM) Matt_Nelson: How are you Loaf?
(10:06:17 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Wing! Commander! 1! For! FREE!
(10:06:21 AM) LOAFB: I'm doing well! How are you?
(10:06:29 AM) Dundradal: Has all this stuff also been put in its CIC color?
(10:06:30 AM) Matt_Nelson: Very Good.
(10:06:35 AM) wcs: Stupid question: is there a way to integrate WC4 high resolution movies into the original CD version?
(10:06:37 AM) Trelane2: Yowie, that cake looks great
(10:06:43 AM) Wedge009: Wow, I love the typos in the Conflict mock-ups.
(10:06:43 AM) Dundradal: videos and such?
(10:06:44 AM) LOAFB: It has not, we'll have to sort it out later this week
(10:06:49 AM) Dundradal: ok
(10:06:57 AM) Trelane2: Of all the cakes I've ever seen, I guess I'd put it in an impressive 8th place
(10:06:59 AM) LOAFB: wcs: there isn't yet, but I am sure HCl or someone will figure one out
(10:07:10 AM) Dundradal: I'm just going to bookmark the exact update
(10:07:13 AM) HowieDay: thanks guys
(10:07:15 AM) Musicguru: these updates rock - thanks CIC!
(10:07:15 AM) HowieDay: this is awesome
(10:07:17 AM) Dundradal: here's my reading for the next....4 months
(10:07:21 AM) bobbings: My favorite WC typo is still "FRLS Manga Carta"
(10:07:23 AM) Dundradal: yes thank you guys as alays
(10:07:27 AM) Musicguru: i'll be going through this forever
(10:07:29 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I totally tweeted the link.
(10:07:40 AM) Madman: wcs it seems to me that the simple way would be to effectively recreate the double sided dvd - though that would mean distributing the exe i guess
(10:07:41 AM) OMJoe-2: MNelson--Hey!  :)
(10:08:03 AM) Iceman16: awesome, strange coincidence that I asked if it was possible to put wc4 dvd movies into the CD version, now it looks even more possible, excellent!
(10:08:09 AM) bobbings: You could use a Blu-ray?
(10:08:22 AM) Dundradal: sweet mother
(10:08:25 AM) LOAFB: The PC gamer version of WC1 is, possibly happily, so broken that no one other than us should care.
(10:08:27 AM) Dundradal: WC4 DVD....
(10:08:33 AM) Matt_Nelson: Hey Yourself OMJoe-2
(10:08:43 AM) Dundradal: haha really LOAF?
(10:08:55 AM) Frosty: bbq
(10:09:00 AM) Frosty left the room (quit: Quit: Frosty).
(10:09:02 AM) LOAFB: It's a LOT easier to run the DOS version in Windows 7/Vista.
(10:09:05 AM) NinjaLA_: holy crud!  my cover actually doesn't look like ass in monochrome :P
(10:09:05 AM) Matt_Nelson: So nice to have discovered this site again
(10:09:12 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hmm
(10:09:12 AM) TimeShadow: SMUDO
(10:09:15 AM) KrisV: We now have 55 gigs on the wcnews download server.
(10:09:17 AM) Wedge009: Sorry, I don't know if someone mentioned it already, but the second Arena back-story link is broken?
(10:09:20 AM) Dundradal: it's incredible to think that when the CIC started the idea of posting something like the video files for WC4 was insane because of bandwidth
(10:09:25 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I have the actual KS WC1 working very well on Win7. This is different?
(10:09:40 AM) Trelane2: You must be able to get WC1 DOS off of ThePirateBay or something
(10:09:42 AM) LOAFB: We actually got dinged for having too much video when we launched.
(10:10:00 AM) Trelane2: Too Hardcore for EA
(10:10:01 AM) Dundradal: heh
(10:10:11 AM) LOAFB: The site was taken down because we filled up the server with the RM versions of the WCA episodes.

(10:41:25 AM) Mekt-Hakt: Just recently I thought about how the Jrathek is the most modern looking Kilrathi fighter
(10:41:30 AM) ManfredImmelmann: yeah lol
(10:41:32 AM) LOAFB: You know what's great? TheFraix isn't here begging us to give away prizes more quickly.
(10:41:38 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehe
(10:41:39 AM) LOAFB: That really makes me not hate everybody that much more.
(10:41:41 AM) Wedge009: Wow, I remember that.
(10:41:42 AM) Madman: lol
(10:41:48 AM) ManfredImmelmann: I liked the Jrathek. Flew it in Academy
(10:41:48 AM) Mekt-Hakt: I missed that
(10:41:53 AM) ManfredImmelmann: and I made up a storyline lol
(10:42:00 AM) Iceheart: You're already giving prizes away quite often
(10:42:01 AM) Madman: jrathek was great, but the wraith is amazing
(10:42:09 AM) Mekt-Hakt: True
(10:42:10 AM) Musicguru: no complaints here
(10:42:13 AM) Stone48420: agreed
(10:42:31 AM) ManfredImmelmann: Lightspeed died in my story because those yellow crappy cannons on the jrathek had disease in them.
(10:42:33 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: LOAF
(10:42:43 AM) Musicguru: time for random door prize again?
(10:42:45 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: If you apply the WC1 joystick patch to the WC1 PCG release, you can run it in DOSbox.
(10:42:45 AM) Mekt-Hakt: Great story ;-p
(10:42:58 AM) Madman: nice idea goku
(10:43:00 AM) Ironduke: Wraith was madly overpowered in Academy, though... :)
(10:43:02 AM) LOAFB: Great--post it to the forums
(10:43:07 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: On it.
(10:43:13 AM) Mekt-Hakt: Absolutely
(10:43:23 AM) Madman: nonsense, underpowered more like ;)
(10:43:23 AM) LOAFB: Now we do have one prize everybody wants... a real life copy of Star*Soldier.
(10:43:26 AM) Madman: oooh
(10:43:28 AM) Musicguru: cool goku - nice trick
(10:43:29 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: THAT I want.
(10:43:32 AM) Stone48420: cool
(10:43:37 AM) LOAFB: But I want to give that away a little differently.
(10:43:41 AM) TrelaneL: woo, even I want that
(10:43:49 AM) Stone48420: I need it :)
(10:44:08 AM) LOAFB: So instead of trivia I'm going to give everyone ten minutes to come up with why they love Wing Commander.

(10:44:31 AM) ChrisReid: I'm scrolling through old stuff now
(10:44:34 AM) LOAFB: And people will vote for one other person's comment.
(10:44:36 AM) Musicguru: like an essay?
(10:44:40 AM) LOAFB: (You can't vote for yourself)
(10:44:42 AM) ManfredImmelmann: how many words?
(10:44:45 AM) Musicguru: or just a comment?
(10:44:47 AM) Frosty: Well, I can vote for myself.
(10:44:50 AM) LOAFB: Anything you can do in ten minutes.
(10:44:50 AM) Frosty: Because I am a corrupt man.

(10:45:02 AM) Ironduke: 140 characters or less! *g*
(10:45:10 AM) Mekt-Hakt: :-)
(10:45:22 AM) LOAFB: Lets say until 9 PM, which is 15 minutes.
(10:45:24 AM) ChrisReid: which was when WC games were still in stores and Origin was still plugging away and the movie and prophecy gold were still fresh
(10:45:31 AM) NinjaLA_: post 'em all to facebook

(10:48:51 AM) Mekt-Hakt: Good times

(10:49:10 AM) TimeShadow: I was like
(10:49:12 AM) TimeShadow: Damn

(10:49:49 AM) TimeShadow: I can't believe I completed the whole mission...to be killed by the Claw lol
(10:49:53 AM) TimeShadow: I figured that
(10:49:53 AM) Natreg: (or the ship you want to make communication with)
(10:50:02 AM) TimeShadow: that i know lol
(10:50:07 AM) ^Death_: Time, just imitating real life. Study made of USN carrier pilots during Vietnam showed they had the highest heartrate not while flying a mission, or even when being shot at, but during carrier landings.
(10:50:34 AM) Madman: its the most dangerous part of the mission, blair says so during the hott novel
(10:50:46 AM) Natreg: lol
(10:50:49 AM) DaveO: It's not exactly easy landing on a carrier
(10:51:17 AM) Natreg: I remember I also had a lot of trouble landing when I first played heh
(10:51:19 AM) Natreg: good times
(10:51:35 AM) Frosty: and great oldies
(10:51:53 AM) ManfredImmelmann: true
(10:52:01 AM) DaveO: I had a real life carrier landing. I was flown out on the mail plane to my assignment
(10:52:01 AM) ManfredImmelmann: but a carrier moves with the waves in real life
(10:52:13 AM) ManfredImmelmann: and you have wind pushing your aircraft
(10:53:48 AM) ManfredImmelmann: this isn't really the case in space
(10:54:12 AM) ^Death_: No, but a 'splat' is a lot more painful at 300kps than at 300kph. :P
(10:54:22 AM) ^Death_: (random value)
(10:54:35 AM) Natreg: you shouldn't land at that speed
(10:54:42 AM) ManfredImmelmann: it doesn't really feel like you're moving kilometers
(10:54:58 AM) Frosty: It's kilometers relative to some other thing.
(10:55:02 AM) ManfredImmelmann: i don't think that i'd actually be able to see a fighter 1000 kim away visually
(10:55:17 AM) Frosty: You might.  WC Fighters are gigantic and painted brightly.
(10:55:30 AM) ManfredImmelmann: they can't be that big
(10:55:30 AM) LOAFB: Six minutes, folks!
(10:55:36 AM) Frosty: They're pretty huge.
(10:55:38 AM) NinjaLA_: http://www.wcnews.com/newestshots/full/WC4Kindle2.jpg  I would like to take this moment to say I cannot believe how good my cover looks on that crappy kindle screen
(10:55:40 AM) TimeShadow: If it's green, it's good, if it's red/orange, it's bad
(10:55:44 AM) Frosty: And 1000km isn't as far as it sounds.
(10:55:55 AM) ManfredImmelmann: it's not an arm's throw away
(10:55:58 AM) TimeShadow: 6 minutes to what?
(10:56:06 AM) DaveO: Update time
(10:56:09 AM) TimeShadow: again?
(10:56:19 AM) ManfredImmelmann: but i must admit, a good deal of what we see must be gameplay dynamic
(10:56:32 AM) ManfredImmelmann: i've had to do that in some of my games to make them more user friendly
(10:56:44 AM) LOAFB: Hehe no, six minutes to when people should have sumitted their comments to me for judging
(10:56:44 AM) NinjaLA_: you can set a kindle to orange/red?

(10:57:01 AM) TimeShadow: NO
(10:57:20 AM) ManfredImmelmann: i tried to make ships work like they do in my universe, but it makes the game almost unplayable
(10:57:38 AM) ManfredImmelmann: if i cheat and make fighters more manueverable than their "real" world counterparts, the game is more playable
(10:57:50 AM) ManfredImmelmann: and make the enemy fighters less manueverable
(10:58:02 AM) LOAFB: Thats my Kindle and iPad modeling WC4.12whatever

(11:06:27 AM) Stone48420: was just gonna ask that
(11:06:32 AM) Mekt-Hakt: It is very hard but I think I got it
(11:06:36 AM) LOAFB: A. I love Wing Commander because of the missions, the story line, the characters, and of course the fans!
(11:06:36 AM) LOAFB: B.  Because aged 10, wc2 was the first game I ever played with a great story, by the time shadow died i was devastated, then spirit killed herself! For a kid who'd only played games like doom and wolfenstein, wc2, with the speech was the most incredible experience i'd ever experienced.
(11:06:36 AM) LOAFB: C.  I love Wing Commander because the hypnotoad tells me to
(11:06:36 AM) LOAFB: D. I like wing commander because it shows humanity triumphing over evil and that there is a future in space.
(11:06:41 AM) LOAFB: E. Love the story drama different ship designs and most of all the history. The first game I bought was wing commander 3 and I read the timeline over and over again loved the story unfolded so far and made me want to go back and find out what happened in previous games and the books. The game just draws you in with every thing it presents you with but its the timelines that prob grab me the most. I got more but I can't write i
(11:06:44 AM) LOAFB: F. Immersive.
(11:06:48 AM) LOAFB: G. I love Wing Commander because it has inspired me and is an insanely fun game. I'm not big on the universe fiction, but the games, especially the Kilrathi Saga, were amazing for their time and classics to this day. Wing Commander (along with other space sims like FreeSpace and the X-Wing series) has inspired me to create games and fictions of my own, as seen here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/ViolentAJ/arian-starfighter. 
(11:06:50 AM) LOAFB: characters in WC1 and 2 were believable, interesting, and most of all, entertaining. The storyline and vantage point captivated me, and made me become engrossed in the experience. When WC3 came out, I was gleefully excited as a Star Wars fan. Looking back after all of these year, I realize how advanced the game was for its time, and notice other actors that I see in production to this day. My only regret is that they do not
(11:06:55 AM) LOAFB: games today. With today's technology, crosses with the innovation and creativity the fueled the 1990 release, I am sure that they could put together a blockbuster.
(11:06:57 AM) LOAFB: H. I got my copy of Wing Commander II for my birthday when I was aged in the single digits. I was already a precocious little boy interested in computers, and new video games were always exciting. With this and a new joystick, I played the hell out of it. But I got so much more out of the game than just the game. My reading skills improved by watching cutscenes. I loved to hate the Kilrathi, but never before have I genuinely f
(11:07:03 AM) LOAFB: I. Wing commander is the single only game I have ever devoted this much of my brainspace to outside of a tabletop RPG.  I love it for making me feel like there really could be a bizzaro future where giant cats talk and try to eat my family ad where I can fly a space fighter until I am old and grey or get spaced.
(11:07:06 AM) LOAFB: J. When I was growing up my family couldn't afford a computer (which was back in 1991). My sister's boyfriend was a computer tech and he would always invite me and my sister over to hang out. The first computer game I played was Wing Commander and my sister's boyfriend was my co-pilot. He would do all the keyboard commands while I controlled the flight stick (yes, I was a noob). I was absolutely

My sister's boyfriend was a computer tech and he would always invite me and my sister over to hang out. The first computer game I played was Wing Commander and my sister's boyfriend was my co-pilot.

(11:08:39 AM) LOAFB: blown away and the game quickly became my first love (you never forget your first, right?). :) In fact, he even got my sister hooked. I remember he played as Phoenix, my sister played as Raven, and I played as Goliath (because I was a tall teenager). We would compare our killscores and had a lot of fun. Shortly after, maybe about six months after, my sister's boyfriend proposed and my sister said 
(11:08:40 AM) LOAFB: yes. They are still married to this day and I'll hear them joking sometimes about who the better flight ace was between the two of them. Personally, I think it was me. :) It's funny because to this day, my sister, my now brother-in-law and I will joke about those days that we sat around the computer, hanging out and playing Wing Commander. It's one of those things that has brought my family 
(11:08:47 AM) LOAFB: together. And of course, I've got Wing Commander in the blood because my birthday, it turns out my birthday is the same day that Wing Commander opened nationwide - March 12th. Coincidence, I think not! And of course, I've got to thank (*cough* suck up *cough*) to the WC CIC for keeping me updated over all these years. Thanks guys!
(11:08:50 AM) LOAFB: one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand
(11:08:52 AM) LOAFB: K. For me, WC was the first major game series (out of, maybe, three) that I really came to love. I enjoy games with good stories to drive them - and Wing Commander has such great ones to tell! Filled with characters of such wildly varying personalities, all with their own burdens and personal tragedies to carry. With or without FMV, each game had characters you could really empathise with: made you play to help the Confederati
(11:08:57 AM) LOAFB: next mission - a testament to Origin's 'We Create Worlds' motto. Furthermore, the fan community into which I was drawn really is second to none. There is so much richness to the WC universe that I just would not have discovered were it not for the fine folks at CIC. The continuing efforts of fans to produce quality projects to keep the spirit alive, too, is a testament to the wonderful story that is just Wing Commander. I just

The continuing efforts of fans to produce quality projects to keep the spirit alive, too, is a testament to the wonderful story that is just Wing Commander. I just love Wing Commander: If I didn't, I wouldn't still be into it after nearly two decades.
(11:09:06 AM) LOAFB: L. I love WIng Commander because no other game interrupts my thoughts randomly during the day than WC, and there are so many different mission to play the possibilities are endless.

(11:44:01 AM) Vinman: sorry I'm so late!
(11:44:10 AM) ^Death_: unable to join
(11:44:14 AM) NinjaLA_: all ya'll ought to come more often
(11:44:21 AM) NinjaLA_: death has the same problem I do 
(11:44:25 AM) Vinman: looks like I missed one hell of a party!
(11:44:32 AM) LOAFB: Howdy
(11:44:38 AM) Vinman: helloaf!
(11:45:21 AM) DMJC: Wing Commander: At least we're not syndicate, 13+ sequels/spinoffs/addons
(11:45:41 AM) ^Death_ left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(11:45:56 AM) LOAFB: They're announcing a new Syndicate soon
(11:46:08 AM) QuailPilot: What are your thoughts on it?
(11:46:13 AM) NinjaLA_: I thought redlime got scrubbed..
(11:46:32 AM) bobbings: I think that was the Bourne game
(11:46:34 AM) KrisV_Away: http://www.wcnews.com/news/update/8046 has instructions for getting Arena to work with your router
(11:46:40 AM) QuailPilot: I know some people aren't too happy about the new XCOM game.
(11:47:06 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: It's gonna be different, but cool in its own way.
(11:47:08 AM) CaptainXax: About it not actually being XCOM?
(11:47:08 AM) KrisV_Away: XBLA games don't use a central server like normal games, so it's more tricky to get a game going
(11:47:09 AM) Dundradal: let me host the next Arena game
(11:47:12 AM) Dundradal: see if everybody can join
(11:47:25 AM) ChrisReid: hehe, Open Your Internet Hole
(11:47:25 AM) ManfredImmelmann: what new xcom?
(11:47:27 AM) Dundradal: I'll do bearpit
(11:47:31 AM) ManfredImmelmann: OFO Invasion?
(11:47:51 AM) QuailPilot: No, there is a new XCOM offical game coming out thats a FPS 
(11:48:22 AM) QuailPilot: and in the 50s
(11:48:25 AM) Ironduke: Dundradal, you might have to invite each one of us... :/
(11:48:26 AM) Dundradal: ARENA Bearpit up
(11:48:29 AM) Dundradal: ok
(11:48:34 AM) QuailPilot: here
(11:48:35 AM) QuailPilot: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/06/21/here-is-some-more-information-about-xcom/
(11:48:41 AM) TimeShadow: Wow I failed :P
(11:48:51 AM) DaveO: Giving up on the strategy for X-Com?
(11:49:50 AM) QuailPilot: supposedly there is strategy in it
(11:50:04 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: A little.
(11:50:18 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: It won't be too in-depth.
(11:50:22 AM) NinjaLA_: looks like the update removed about half those options in that link kris
(11:50:46 AM) QuailPilot: probably not. I'm probably going to get the game anyway.
(11:51:01 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Me too.
(11:51:20 AM) Vinman: yeah, I got it too, might as well pay for the manual :)
(11:51:21 AM) taser8 [Sean@99-55-139-157.lightspeed.austtx.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(11:51:26 AM) Dundradal: Hey!
(11:51:27 AM) ExcalPilot1: ok, it's just about 10:00 here, time to break out the beer
(11:51:35 AM) taser8: Hey y'all!
(11:51:40 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Yo
(11:51:41 AM) Justice: I may get the XCom game if it reviews well, but I'm not just going to buy it because it has the name XCom.
(11:51:59 AM) Justice: *just* because
(11:51:59 AM) Dundradal: we need people in Arena here
(11:52:01 AM) bobbings: I don't really play games anymore
(11:52:03 AM) LOAFB: Hey!
(11:52:07 AM) bobbings: Hey Mr. Murphy
(11:52:08 AM) NinjaLA_: the nat option seems to be gone from network settings
(11:52:13 AM) NinjaLA_: hey taser!
(11:52:29 AM) taser8: Wow, the party is hoppin'!
(11:52:34 AM) Wedge009: Hi Sean!
(11:52:44 AM) NinjaLA_: yeah, pretty darn cool party this year
(11:52:53 AM) Wedge009: Nice of you to drop by every year.
(11:53:43 AM) ChrisReid: yay!
(11:53:45 AM) ChrisReid: hey Sean!
(11:54:02 AM) taser8: Hey Chris!
(11:54:16 AM) DMJC: can't remember the last game I got drawn into
(11:54:27 AM) taser8: So, everyone knows what's happening Thursday right after sunset, right?
(11:54:50 AM) DMJC: time to fire the old girl up
(11:54:53 AM) QuailPilot: beer pong?
(11:54:53 AM) LOAFB: Meteor Storm!
(11:54:56 AM) Justice: Lately I've been drawn into X3:Terran Conflict, Starcraft II a little... and X-Com.
(11:55:01 AM) taser8: Even better!
(11:55:15 AM) DMJC: s-video on
(11:55:21 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Terran Conflict is way too confusing.
(11:55:39 AM) Musicguru: the between missions of SC II reminds me so much of WC3
(11:55:41 AM) bobbings: The last game I bought was ARMA2 and I can barely run it
(11:55:44 AM) Dundradal: so can a pilot get a wingman here?
(11:55:45 AM) Dundradal: Arena
(11:55:48 AM) Dundradal: we've got 3
(11:55:49 AM) Jason_Ryock: This is SO EXCITING!
(11:55:50 AM) Dundradal: Goku get in here
(11:55:51 AM) Dundradal: so I can yell at you
(11:55:51 AM) Mekt-Hakt: Hey Taser8
(11:55:53 AM) taser8: Just after sunset the moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be within a ten-degree circle of each other just above the horizon...followed by the Perseid meteor shower
(11:55:59 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I don't have Live Gold.
(11:56:00 AM) taser8: Hey hey!
(11:56:07 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I run ArmA 2 at about 25FPS, bob.
(11:56:14 AM) bobbings: Lies
(11:56:22 AM) Musicguru: so the universe is going to implode?
(11:56:23 AM) bobbings: I've seen the Youtube videos of you
(11:56:24 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: 1920x1080
(11:56:36 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehe
(11:56:37 AM) taser8: I think so. I think it's one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
(11:56:44 AM) bobbings: Or maybe I'm so slow I don't know what FPS is anymore
(11:56:49 AM) Musicguru: i thought that was supposed to be 2012
(11:56:54 AM) bobbings: I average 10 at 1280x800
(11:56:58 AM) Musicguru: darn time paradox
(11:57:00 AM) DaveO: Not any more than when most of the planets were lined in a row
(11:57:01 AM) taser8: Yeah, but the Mayans couldn't count.
(11:57:08 AM) DaveO: First person shooter
(11:57:12 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Heh.
(11:57:14 AM) DMJC: LOAFB, : is the 3do joystick worth it?
(11:57:17 AM) Justice: I've never found TC confusing.  UI takes too many clicks to do certain things, and it murders my 6 year old CPU, but those are my only real gripes with it.  It's much nicer on my office machine.
(11:57:28 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I just have to have the manual out to play it.
(11:57:33 AM) ZFGokuSSJ1: 'cause I can never remember the controls.
(11:57:34 AM) LOAFC [banditloaf@pool-71-163-128-161.washdc.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
(11:57:34 AM) #wingnut: mode (+o LOAFC) by ChrisReid
(11:57:36 AM) bobbings: Wasn't one of the brighter stars supposed to go supernova?
(11:57:44 AM) bobbings: If you mean ARMA2, I didn't even get a manual
(11:57:50 AM) bobbings: Not a printed one, anyway
(11:57:58 AM) LOAFC: Hope that wasn't the server buckling uder the stress :)
(11:58:04 AM) Ironduke: Anyone still planning on joining Arena (besides NinjaLA who's trying hard)? Cause it's getting awfully late here... (Or rather awfully early?)
(11:58:13 AM) Jason_Ryock: Hmmm
(11:58:16 AM) Jason_Ryock: No WCP:MP?
(11:58:18 AM) ChrisReid: I can come down if you're trying to get a game going still
(11:58:31 AM) LOAFC: You go ahead Chris, I'll keep the party going here.
(11:58:40 AM) ManfredImmelmann: FreeSpace 2?
(11:58:45 AM) LOAFB left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(11:58:59 AM) Musicguru: loaf's just the party machine
(12:00:01 PM) LOAFC: Just after I... take a nap... its been a long several days of writing updates.
(12:00:01 PM) CaptainXax: is there anyone who actually /likes/ the WC movie?
(12:00:01 PM) QuailPilot: hahaha
(12:00:01 PM) taser8: Seriously!
(12:00:01 PM) QuailPilot: I do
(12:00:01 PM) ExcalPilot1: it was ok
(12:00:01 PM) LOAFC: Hehehehe
(12:00:01 PM) ExcalPilot1: hated the actors
(12:00:01 PM) LOAFC: I don't hate it as much as... lots of people do...
(12:00:01 PM) Musicguru: ya, wow at all those updates - you guys seriously rock
(12:00:01 PM) QuailPilot: Then again, I supposedly have a "weird' taste in movies
(12:00:01 PM) CaptainXax: ...I saw it as a kid and almost literally cried when nothing was like the game :(
(12:00:01 PM) Musicguru: if it weren't for the CIC staff, where would we be?
(12:00:01 PM) Justice: I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other for it.
(12:00:01 PM) bobbings: I actually liked Freddie Prinze Jr.
(12:00:01 PM) LOAFC: We couldn't have done it without everybody's help. Joe... Origin guys... the folks who volunteered at Mythic.
(12:00:05 PM) taser8: I will tell you as one who had a lot of friends work on it - I was so prepared to hate it and had heard so many bad things about it that by the time I finally saw it, I felt like, "Well, that wasn't the WORST thing I ever saw...."
(12:00:10 PM) NinjaLA_: heck yeah
(12:00:18 PM) ExcalPilot1: Mark Hamil is still the best Col. Blair ever
(12:00:25 PM) Musicguru: this is like the only 20+ year old community I know that is still going strong after all these years
(12:00:27 PM) DMJC: I don't like the wc movie as a wc movie
(12:00:33 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe, those who follow my Twitter will know that I found a great quote from Prinze from the official movie magazine
(12:00:34 PM) DMJC: but I do like it as a kickass space movie
(12:00:36 PM) TimeShadow: He was the ONLY Col. Blair
(12:00:39 PM) bobbings: I was on the fence until I saw the Confed Sword-in-Star emblem in one of the screens
(12:00:40 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehe
(12:00:42 PM) bobbings: Then I loved it
(12:00:43 PM) Musicguru: most game series have come and gone
(12:00:46 PM) LOAFC: "I wanted to make Wing Commander so bad" - Freddie Prinze Jr.
(12:00:47 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: "I wanted to make Wing Commander so bad."
(12:00:48 PM) TimeShadow: Prinze was a Lt. lol
(12:00:51 PM) DMJC: lol
(12:00:53 PM) bobbings: I'm easy to please that way
(12:01:13 PM) ExcalPilot1: yea, but i was talking in retrospect to the movie casting
(12:01:15 PM) taser8: Hey LOAF, tell me more about this archive-recovery project...
(12:01:21 PM) Jason_Ryock left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(12:01:22 PM) Anon716 [Jason_Ryoc@pool-173-55-111-139.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net] entered the room.
(12:01:27 PM) LOAFC: You know Captain Johnny taks a big game now, but the first thing he told me after the movie premiere was that it wasn't as bad as Ice Pirates. :)
(12:01:33 PM) LOAFC: And Ice Pirates is *awesome*!
(12:01:37 PM) CaptainXax: Haha...
(12:01:40 PM) DMJC: they went into Mythic and pulled all the backup tapes/cds etc and made copies
(12:01:44 PM) Musicguru: LOL!!!!
(12:01:45 PM) taser8: Yeah, but Ice Pirates was SUPPOSED to be funny.
(12:01:49 PM) Musicguru: ice pirares!\
(12:01:56 PM) DMJC: as well as photographing all the art work/scanning documents
(12:02:00 PM) QuailPilot: I think the main question is do people like Mortal Kombat the movie better than the WC movie?
(12:02:01 PM) bobbings: I'm going to watch Life Force again and see if it's still as incredible as I remember it being
(12:02:02 PM) Justice: I don't think I've heard of Ice Pirates
(12:02:06 PM) Musicguru: i had totally wiped that from my memory until just now
(12:02:09 PM) LOAFC: Yeah, EA had someone managed to move a big lump of old Origin files from Austin to Redwood City to Virginia
(12:02:13 PM) Ilehah left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(12:02:15 PM) Anon716 is now known as Jason_Ryock
(12:02:17 PM) LOAFC: And we basically tricked them into letting us spend a week with the stuff.
(12:02:20 PM) DMJC: are you guys going to use OCR on any of the EA docs to turn them into text?
(12:02:38 PM) Iceheart left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(12:02:41 PM) Vinman: agreed with dmjc, wc was a lot of fun, especially if you didn't let yourself get obsessed with inconsistencies
(12:02:43 PM) DaveO: The Mortal Kombat movie was not too bad
(12:02:44 PM) Justice: I'm pretty sure I like WC a lot better than the MK movie.
(12:02:46 PM) LOAFC: A few weeks later somebody at EA HQ said wait a minute, we shouldn't have done that--there might be financial documents in there, tell them not to post anything... but we were already gone. :)
(12:02:57 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Niiice.
(12:02:58 PM) QuailPilot: Now did you see the 2nd MK movie?
(12:03:02 PM) Musicguru: DMJC - you could just type it out yourself (j/k_
(12:03:03 PM) DaveO: The second one was a waste of time
(12:03:14 PM) QuailPilot: hahaha
(12:03:17 PM) QuailPilot: yup
(12:03:20 PM) taser8: I ask because I still have a Wing IV-era DAT tape that I backed some stuff onto...I have no idea what's on it, but I have no way of getting it off the tape!
(12:03:21 PM) LOAFC: It was a great time, though. We put back together a bunch of different tape backup systems to recover old files
(12:03:37 PM) bobbings: All that stuff about the ship 'falling' off the deck, 'sound in space' - that never really hit me when I was seeing it
(12:03:43 PM) ExcalPilot1: Was WC Prophecy any good? never got to play that one?
(12:03:43 PM) DaveO: I heard rumors of a new Mortal Kombat movie
(12:03:49 PM) LOAFC: I either have a drive or can get you one--grab a picture of it if you can and I'll see what I can ifgure out.
(12:03:53 PM) LOAFC: Prophecy was excellent!
(12:03:56 PM) taser8: It was a personal backup tape so it'd only be things I worked on but I think I have at least one Wing IV shuttle landing sequence on it...
(12:03:59 PM) Musicguru: nice way to make the slip - so were there any financial docs? lol
(12:04:03 PM) Vinman: yeah prophecy was great
(12:04:03 PM) QuailPilot: oh dear God. It better be as cheesy as the first 2
(12:04:12 PM) Justice: WC Prophecy is great
(12:04:18 PM) taser8: I can just send you the tape...
(12:04:22 PM) LOAFC: Hehehehehehe, there were actually, I was putting stuff together for the birthday and found all the WC3 and 4 budget stuff.
(12:04:30 PM) DaveO: Was the Prince of Persia movie any good?
(12:04:32 PM) Vinman: haha
(12:04:36 PM) QuailPilot: I heard it was
(12:04:37 PM) Musicguru: holy cow - lol
(12:04:37 PM) taser8: Ah yes, the infamous party budget sheets!
(12:04:41 PM) taser8: I want to know more!
(12:04:51 PM) Musicguru: oh, this is good dirt!
(12:04:52 PM) Jason_Ryock: Man I just ran WC1.exe without any compatability modes or anything and it ran great!
(12:04:52 PM) taser8: That party was EPIC
(12:04:53 PM) DMJC: I love that EA freaked about 10+ year old finance documents
(12:05:42 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe, I didn't post the rest of it because there's some genuinely sensitive stuff... social security numbers of film crew members and such. I'll go through it someday and pick out bits that wouldn't endanger anybody.
(12:05:49 PM) LOAFC: Or block things out like the military.
(12:05:55 PM) QuailPilot: haha
(12:06:15 PM) DMJC: swc for mac
(12:06:16 PM) PopsiclePete: hi all - just got back from my parent's
(12:06:23 PM) PopsiclePete: lots of backlog to read !
(12:06:23 PM) Musicguru: hey pete
(12:06:25 PM) LOAFC: Someone gave birth to you?!
(12:06:29 PM) LOAFC: :)
(12:06:30 PM) QuailPilot: Hey Pete
(12:06:32 PM) PopsiclePete: hehe
(12:06:34 PM) DMJC: hehehe I've got SWC for mac/3do, but my 3do one is japanese
(12:06:35 PM) Dundradal: PETE!!!!!!!!
(12:06:44 PM) Dundradal: #wcp-mp 
(12:06:46 PM) Dundradal: NOW!
(12:06:49 PM) DaveO: Excal, you can check out my YouTube channel to see if Prophecy gameplay is up your alley
(12:06:57 PM) LOAFC: Back to the tape, though, yeah, that'd be great--I'd certainly be happy to figure out how to restore it.
(12:07:08 PM) PopsiclePete: hehe, wait a bit man, I still have to put the girls to bed, and all those CIC updates to read !  :p
(12:07:20 PM) Dundradal: bah
(12:07:20 PM) ExcalPilot1: well, i kinda dont have  PC, I was just curious
(12:07:30 PM) taser8: Heck, it may be melted into one big roll of slag, but it'd be fun to see if we could get anything off it
(12:07:32 PM) Justice: Hmm, I think the only WC video on my YouTube channel is from Privateer.
(12:08:24 PM) QuailPilot: All right, I'm taking off guys. My friend and I are getting our GFs and playing Settlers of Catan all night
(12:08:35 PM) Musicguru: later
(12:08:37 PM) QuailPilot: cya
(12:08:37 PM) DMJC: when I am dead, privateer will still be awesome
(12:08:39 PM) Justice: Is that what they call it these days?
(12:08:40 PM) DMJC: this makes me happy
(12:08:43 PM) QuailPilot: yup
(12:08:48 PM) Vinman: yeah, I ought to get going, too, sorry I missed the party!
(12:08:52 PM) Musicguru: privateer = always awesome
(12:09:00 PM) QuailPilot: Au revoir!
(12:09:03 PM) QuailPilot left the room (quit: Quit: wcnews.com).
(12:09:14 PM) Vinman: congrats again, everybody!
(12:09:31 PM) Justice: I played straight through the Privateer and Righteous Fire plots a few weekends ago, it's never fails to be great.
(12:09:42 PM) CaptainXax: Claiming prizes: intructions?
(12:09:47 PM) Vinman: it's amazing what you guys do, at least one update every day, year after year
(12:09:58 PM) LOAFC: We'll post instructions on the front page in a day or so about how to do it
(12:10:00 PM) Jason_Ryock: I thought it was two updates a day
(12:10:02 PM) LOAFC: Chris has been recording who won what
(12:10:17 PM) Vinman: well, sometimes one
(12:10:18 PM) Justice: Also, I'm blaming any weird English on my fever.
(12:10:48 PM) taser8: I gotta run too but I wanted to stop in and say hi, Happy Birthday, and keep the faith!
(12:10:57 PM) Musicguru: indeed taser
(12:11:02 PM) NinjaLA_: see ya taser
(12:11:03 PM) ExcalPilot1: seeya taser
(12:11:03 PM) LOAFC: Thanks!! ALways great to see you.
(12:11:04 PM) taser8: Later y'all!
(12:11:11 PM) NinjaLA_: stop in more often!
(12:11:14 PM) LOAFC: I'm blaming my tping problems on being awake for days and using a tiny netbook.
(12:11:14 PM) Justice: Bye
(12:11:19 PM) taser8 left the room.
(12:11:33 PM) LOAFC: Good man.
(12:12:04 PM) Vinman left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(12:12:12 PM) Justice: I forgot to tell Dave that the CIC birthday was today.  He usually likes to hear about it.
(12:12:38 PM) CaptainXax: Happy birthday, Combat Information Center. I think I'm going to duck out. You guys are all awesome.
(12:12:48 PM) LOAFC: Thanks!
(12:12:55 PM) LOAFC: Well, tell him tomorrow.
(12:12:56 PM) Musicguru: later xax - nice job @ trivia
(12:13:01 PM) LOAFC: Yeah, good work
(12:13:17 PM) CaptainXax left the room (quit: Quit: Peace in the McAuliffe System!).
(12:13:21 PM) LOAFC: You guys want to try your hand at the trivia we didn't use?
(12:13:31 PM) Musicguru: just for kicks?
(12:13:35 PM) ExcalPilot1: why not
(12:13:35 PM) LOAFC: Yeah
(12:13:37 PM) Justice: Sure
(12:13:39 PM) Musicguru: sure
(12:13:41 PM) LOAFC: I wrote a whole stack of it at work earlier.
(12:13:52 PM) LOAFC: Easy
(12:13:53 PM) LOAFC: Q. What is the Kilrathi Godess of War's name?
(12:13:53 PM) LOAFC: Q. What was the first episode of Wing Commander Academy?
(12:13:53 PM) LOAFC: Q. "Can it be? Has the God of ___ abandoned us?"
(12:14:04 PM) Justice: Yep, those are pretty easy
(12:14:05 PM) Wedge009: Are we answering them here?
(12:14:13 PM) LOAFC: Yeah, sure, answer them here.
(12:14:17 PM) Musicguru: "God of War"???
(12:14:18 PM) DMJC: Sivar Red and blue, man
(12:14:21 PM) NinjaLA_: siva , red vs blue, man
(12:14:22 PM) Wedge009: Sivar, Red and Blue, Man
(12:14:26 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehe
(12:14:27 PM) LOAFC: Hahaha
(12:14:29 PM) Musicguru: ah, ok
(12:14:32 PM) LOAFC: Okay here's the leftover mediums
(12:14:37 PM) LOAFC: Medium
(12:14:37 PM) LOAFC: Q. What is Prince Thrakhth's sister's name?
(12:14:37 PM) LOAFC: Q. What is the 'CV' designation of the TCS Concordia (in WC2)?
(12:14:37 PM) LOAFC: Q. What is the name of the most recent 'Ultima' game?
(12:14:37 PM) LOAFC: Q. Name two official Wing Commander addons other than the Secret Missions and Special Operations disks.
(12:14:38 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I had no idea what any of those were, to be honest.
(12:14:45 PM) Wedge009: CVS-40
(12:14:50 PM) DaveO: 64
(12:14:53 PM) DMJC: 52

(12:15:03 PM) LOAFC: No, no and no. :)

(12:15:10 PM) Justice: The TCV show is the only place I remember it said
(12:15:12 PM) DMJC: CVS-50

(12:15:27 PM) LOAFC: No.
(12:15:32 PM) Wedge009: CVS-65

(12:16:01 PM) Wedge009: I'm tired.
(12:16:02 PM) ^Death_: Ok, I think I have it ready now. Activated uPnP
(12:16:05 PM) DMJC: how many carriers did confed have?
(12:16:07 PM) ^Death_: on the router that is
(12:16:07 PM) NinjaLA_: lords of ultima.  wc2 speech pack and proving grounds..   
(12:16:10 PM) Justice: Addons... like, perhaps, speech packs?
(12:16:19 PM) Wedge009: Ultima is Ascension?
(12:16:26 PM) ^Death_: XBL network test doesn't bitch about anything
(12:16:28 PM) Wedge009: I don't know much about Ultima.
(12:16:29 PM) LOAFC: I guess speech packs work--but I was looking for Proving Grounds and *Righteous Fire* :)
(12:16:33 PM) Musicguru: speech pack - good one
(12:16:37 PM) LOAFC: Lords of Ultima--their current browser game.
(12:16:42 PM) Wedge009: Oh.
(12:16:48 PM) LOAFC: (I assumed everyone would forget the obvious one, RF)
(12:16:49 PM) Justice: I forgot Proving Grounds was an addon.
(12:16:53 PM) LOAFC: (and it sounds like I was right)
(12:17:01 PM) Wedge009: I didn't get to that question.
(12:17:05 PM) Wedge009: Who was the sister again>
(12:17:06 PM) DMJC: Academy was totally a wc2 addon pack
(12:17:07 PM) Wedge009: ?
(12:17:07 PM) DaveO: Obvious decline if your series ends up as a browser game
(12:17:08 PM) DMJC: ;)
(12:17:12 PM) LOAFC: Thrakhath's sister was Zukara
(12:17:16 PM) Wedge009: Oh, right.
(12:17:25 PM) Musicguru: WC3 was totally an addon to WC2 - I swear!
(12:17:25 PM) ManfredImmelmann: i agree, DMJC
(12:17:27 PM) LOAFC: Okay, here's the hards
(12:17:29 PM) NinjaLA_: oh yeah., I remember that one
(12:17:30 PM) ManfredImmelmann: but, it had more ships
(12:17:32 PM) LOAFC: Hard
(12:17:32 PM) ManfredImmelmann: more features
(12:17:34 PM) LOAFC: Q. Name two star systems or planets that were part of the Pilgrim Alliance.
(12:17:34 PM) LOAFC: Q. What real star did the Wing Commander Universe map rename in honor of the actor who played Captain Eisen?
(12:17:36 PM) Wedge009: Hence the 'Ultima' in quotes.
(12:17:40 PM) ManfredImmelmann: better graphics and a sperior engine
(12:17:41 PM) Wedge009: Peron?
(12:17:53 PM) ^Death_: Crap, still getting unable to join
(12:17:53 PM) Wedge009: Barnard's Star

(12:18:22 PM) LOAFC: There's a mess of Pilgrim systems in the Handbook and Pilgrim Stars... McDaniel's World is probably the biggest one.
(12:18:24 PM) Dundradal: ok
(12:18:25 PM) Wedge009: That second one is quite easy if you've been around for a while. (:
(12:18:35 PM) Dundradal: I just did a WING COMMANDER HISTORICAL FIRST!
(12:18:41 PM) LOAFC: And there was one Very Hard left
(12:18:43 PM) LOAFC: Very Hard
(12:18:43 PM) LOAFC: Q. What was the URL of Origin's first website?
(12:18:43 PM) Wedge009: I don't know much of the Pilgrim stuff, though.
(12:18:53 PM) Wedge009: I'll stab at origin.ea.com
(12:18:54 PM) Dundradal: I just hosted a game of Arena and WCP MP at the same time!
(12:18:56 PM) Wedge009: I really don't know!
(12:19:01 PM) Justice: I remembered reading about the renaming, but couldn't remember the name of the star.
(12:19:03 PM) Wedge009: Oh, wait first.
(12:19:05 PM) DMJC: osi.com
(12:19:08 PM) Frosty: Wheee
(12:19:14 PM) Musicguru: no, origin wasn't with ea yet :P
(12:19:16 PM) Wedge009: Would they have had their own?
(12:19:21 PM) Wedge009: Oh, so before 1991?
(12:19:29 PM) LOAFC: They were with EA before they had a website
(12:19:34 PM) LOAFC: EA bought Origin in 1991
(12:19:36 PM) DMJC: ah
(12:19:40 PM) Wedge009: That's what I thought.
(12:19:41 PM) DMJC: www.origin.com
(12:19:43 PM) Musicguru: oh, my mistake
(12:19:58 PM) DMJC: www.ea.com/origin

(12:20:57 PM) LOAFC: ea.com/origin.html
(12:21:05 PM) DMJC: I'd make a wing commander tribute site but there are so many out there, and doing it well is hard
(12:21:08 PM) Musicguru: wedge was close
(12:21:08 PM) ChrisReid: woo back
(12:21:09 PM) Wedge009: Aww, they didn't even get their own sub-domain.
(12:21:17 PM) ChrisReid: Ironduke won
(12:21:22 PM) Wedge009: DMJC was closer.
(12:21:24 PM) LOAFC: Nobody had a subdomain back then:(
(12:21:27 PM) LOAFC: :) eve
(12:21:28 PM) LOAFC: even
(12:21:28 PM) DMJC: have they got a decent standard for embedding 3d into websites yet?
(12:21:30 PM) Mekt-Hakt: Ok, thanks for the round of Arena
(12:21:30 PM) LOAFC: Garg, keys
(12:21:31 PM) Ironduke: Wow, probably my first win ever! How could that happen? ;)
(12:21:34 PM) Wedge009: Oh, okay.
(12:21:44 PM) Mekt-Hakt: but now at 3.21 am, it's time for bed
(12:21:45 PM) Wedge009: Too much work on TacOps.
(12:21:47 PM) Ironduke: Still have to go to bed now... :( Thanks for the match, though!

(12:23:32 PM) LOAFC: Kris is trying to figure out the mystery of wcnews.ru
(12:23:33 PM) Wedge009: Its... just a redirect to wcnews.com?
(12:23:38 PM) LOAFC: Which is sme mysterious copy of the CIC
(12:23:41 PM) LOAFC: No it's an actual copy
(12:23:49 PM) LOAFC: They mirrored all the files, but noe of the backend.

(12:24:30 PM) LOAFC: But you're checking
(12:24:35 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehe, what the hell?
(12:24:36 PM) Justice: I suspect it came from Russia
(12:24:36 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: .ru?
(12:24:39 PM) Wedge009: And then a Dragon pops up and shoots you, MG.
(12:24:43 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: That's hilarious.
(12:25:03 PM) LOAFC: It's hard to say how big things are in Russia, especially things frm the 1990s. Nobody ever made any money there, at least.

(12:32:58 PM) DMJC: and the fact that there is not really anything in gaming that approaches wing commander in size/scope
(12:33:13 PM) Dundradal: we are about to start up a game
(12:33:17 PM) DaveO: Dundradal and some others are playing

(12:35:24 PM) TimeShadow: Playing, more like idling

(12:35:44 PM) Musicguru: lol
(12:36:00 PM) TimeShadow: Maybe not MP but I've played WCP and WCPSP at the same time
(12:36:01 PM) Dundradal: yeah that just happened
(12:36:04 PM) Dundradal: write that done
(12:36:06 PM) Dundradal: down
(12:36:15 PM) Musicguru: maybe map the joystick input to both games :P
(12:36:21 PM) Dundradal: ok
(12:36:25 PM) Dundradal: well we've got 9 rounds to play
(12:36:36 PM) LOAFC: No, I've played WCP:GBA and the WC:CCG at once before. :)

(12:37:09 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe whatever we can call it
(12:37:14 PM) LOAFC: The GBA version of WCP
(12:37:16 PM) Dundradal: then I'll fall under the subcategory of 2 over the internet
(12:37:42 PM) LOAFC: I was on the 15th floor of a building with wifi, so I was over the internet.
(12:37:51 PM) LOAFC: *ba-bum-ching*
(12:38:08 PM) Dundradal: damn you
(12:38:18 PM) LOAFC: The GBA port of Prophecy is great. I want to get one fo those extra-glowy GBA SPs for it.
(12:38:27 PM) Dundradal: then again didn't you invent sliced LOAF?
(12:38:34 PM) Dundradal: so what should I expect
(12:38:39 PM) LOAFC: I did, I still have the scar

(12:40:17 PM) LOAFC: They're less than that today.
(12:40:37 PM) Musicguru: deflation man, deflation
(12:40:40 PM) NuAngel: lol, I noticed.  Jack Daniel's has only gone up like two bucks, too. lol
(12:40:56 PM) LOAFC: And that ws apparently from Costco

(12:41:14 PM) DMJC: we got one in Melbourne, visited it when I was there
(12:41:25 PM) NuAngel: Don't have those around here. (NW Pennsylvania) I'm missing out.
(12:41:42 PM) DMJC: Melbourne is like 600km from here :)
(12:42:10 PM) Justice: My office gets all its food and drinks delivered from Costco
(12:42:20 PM) NuAngel: yeah, that's probably farther than I need to go to find a costco - just never been to one.
(12:42:22 PM) Musicguru: good deal
(12:42:25 PM) ChrisReid: remember those mini GBAs they made just as the DS was coming out?
(12:42:33 PM) ChrisReid: I'd like to see WC on its tinier screen
(12:42:44 PM) LOAFC: OOoh yeah
(12:42:58 PM) LOAFC: We should hit up a used game store and blow some money on weird reformations of GBAs while you're here.
(12:43:02 PM) Wedge009: Oh, the WC4 PlayStation movie pack is really handy. Thanks.
(12:43:09 PM) Wedge009: (Yes, I'm still reading the updates.)

(12:43:55 PM) Musicguru: i don't think they made a whole lot of those
(12:44:13 PM) DaveO: Thanks for all the hard work, LOAF and Chris! I'm sure I'll see some of you again on the forums! Good night!
(12:44:25 PM) Musicguru: night dave
(12:44:33 PM) ChrisReid: yeah, you could multi link up a non-lit first-edition GBA, a GBA SP, brighter SP and a mini GBA in a four player Prophecy Advance battle
(12:44:36 PM) ChrisReid: seeya DaveO
(12:44:45 PM) Justice: And a Game Boy Player!

(12:45:49 PM) NinjaLA: I bought one of those GBAs just for Prophecy
(12:45:54 PM) Musicguru: GBA mini was supposed to be some sort of inbetween of the GBA and DS
(12:45:58 PM) ChrisReid: ooh yeah... a GameBoy Player instead of one of the SPs, for four crazy different thing multiplayer
(12:46:05 PM) NinjaLA: its surprisignly good for a gameboy game
(12:46:14 PM) LOAFC: I have a player... with a French GameCube joystick
(12:46:18 PM) Musicguru: btw, how did you guys get the OK to put out WC1?

(12:47:12 PM) Justice: Oh, there it is
(12:47:13 PM) ChrisReid: and if goku's right, you can patch it to even play in DOSBox? which is a super roundabout way of doing it, but awesome
(12:47:23 PM) ChrisReid: and as it's KS WC1, then you can play the KS Secret Missions
(12:47:30 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Still trying to figure out to get it to recognize a disk
(12:47:33 PM) LOAFC: Not much of one. We argued we should be able to post it because it was on the PC Gamer disc and they agreed.
(12:47:34 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: (it asks for a floppy disk)
(12:47:41 PM) Musicguru: ya, i think he said to patch it
(12:47:53 PM) DMJC: ah nice
(12:48:03 PM) LOAFC: I need a refreshing Pepsi, brb
(12:48:10 PM) NinjaLA: man I wish I could have seen that centurion in action in arena
(12:48:19 PM) ChrisReid: it would have been great
(12:48:26 PM) Justice: 121.6 MB?  Is it really that large?
(12:48:28 PM) ChrisReid: and man, the Gothri model that we saw at Gaia in New York
(12:48:32 PM) ChrisReid: that was badass
(12:48:39 PM) DMJC: justice: it has FULL wav music
(12:48:46 PM) DMJC: kilrathi saga wc1 is awesome
(12:48:50 PM) Justice: Ah.
(12:48:54 PM) Musicguru: digital music
(12:49:14 PM) Musicguru: which makes me wonder, if patched, will it play the midi music in dosbox?
(12:49:17 PM) Wedge009: It's stored without compression too.
(12:49:22 PM) LOAFC: I want to see that Gothri again
(12:49:23 PM) NinjaLA: those arena wire-mesh shots could come in handy too
(12:49:23 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: That's another problem
(12:49:26 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I don't think it'll play the music.
(12:49:29 PM) ChrisReid: it's the Kilrathi Saga WC1, so there's 130 megs of music 
(12:49:30 PM) Musicguru: clearly it won't play the digital in dos
(12:49:32 PM) LOAFC: We should try and track down the gus and get it
(12:49:33 PM) Iceman16: hey, so has the trivia resumed?
(12:49:41 PM) NinjaLA: the gothri isnt in the 3d files, is it?
(12:49:42 PM) ChrisReid: and then about 10 megs of game
(12:49:46 PM) DMJC: which gothri?
(12:49:50 PM) LOAFC: It as like HR Giger's Gothri
(12:49:54 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: http://download.wcnews.com/files/wing1/wcinstal.zip Might try this out.
(12:50:25 PM) ChrisReid: I still see that one guy on xbox live 
(12:50:30 PM) LOAFC: Me too
(12:50:32 PM) LOAFC: Also Mindy Hester
(12:50:35 PM) LOAFC: Which is awesome
(12:50:50 PM) Wedge009: Yeah.
(12:51:29 PM) DMJC: I like how even when you win all of WC2
(12:51:35 PM) Shades2585: A lot of very nice thing. I'll be doing a lot of downloading. Happy birthday all!
(12:51:35 PM) DMJC: it still has a pretty pessimistic outlook
(12:51:38 PM) LOAFC: You know who never used his Xbox again? Sean Penney.
(12:51:39 PM) NuAngel left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(12:52:11 PM) ChrisReid: micahnyc
(12:52:23 PM) NuAngel [NuAngel@cpe-71-66-124-240.neo.res.rr.com] entered the room.
(12:52:29 PM) ChrisReid: yeah, I still have adaz on my friends list
(12:52:35 PM) ChrisReid: from the one Duel we played in the crater
(12:52:40 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe
(12:52:47 PM) LOAFC: Yeah I ca't bring myself to delete him
(12:52:53 PM) ChrisReid: his one achievement is shooting me down
(12:52:54 PM) LOAFC: I even keep him in my iPhone Xbox thing
(12:52:55 PM) ChrisReid: yeah
(12:52:57 PM) LOAFC: Just in case
(12:53:10 PM) Musicguru: sean penny - arena guy right?
(12:53:15 PM) LOAFC: Yeah
(12:53:25 PM) LOAFC: Great guy, wish he'd had a chance to do a full game
(12:53:57 PM) NinjaLA: me too
(12:53:58 PM) Musicguru: he hosted that arena contest too i think
(12:54:03 PM) Musicguru: which was awesome
(12:54:22 PM) ChrisReid: that was freakin incredible
(12:54:23 PM) DMJC: btw loaf, with the cancelled projects you've spoken of
(12:54:26 PM) ChrisReid: one of the best nights
(12:54:27 PM) DMJC: did those get to the coding stage?
(12:54:36 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I remember the night Arena came out
(12:54:36 PM) NuAngel: WC1 worked pretty much flawlessly in Win7.  Some of the COMM messages were a little fast, and it's my own fault for not remembering the keys, but it's fun!!!
(12:54:37 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: That was awesome.
(12:54:38 PM) DMJC: or were they concepts floated to management and rejected?
(12:54:40 PM) ChrisReid: LOAF winning a freakin xbox by playing Arena in front of the world
(12:54:41 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Was it that night?
(12:54:45 PM) LOAFC: Nah that was some EA PR guys... good guys, they went o to do Dead Space stuff.
(12:54:56 PM) LOAFC: I see them on Facebook 
(12:55:05 PM) Dundradal: just had a great 9 round session
(12:55:08 PM) LOAFC: Which cancelled games, DMJC?
(12:55:15 PM) Dundradal: tigersharks, devs and piranhas
(12:55:16 PM) LOAFC: I've worked on a bunch of thing the past few years
(12:55:17 PM) NinjaLA: yeah..  I still appreciate that xbox, LOAFC
(12:55:24 PM) DMJC: yeah just in general
(12:55:30 PM) Jason_Ryock: I suck in anything but a space supreriority fighter
(12:55:31 PM) DMJC: the cancelled projects over the last 5 years
(12:55:36 PM) NinjaLA: even if it doesn't like my router right now for some reason >.<
(12:55:51 PM) DMJC: do they only get to concept? or do they move into development then cancel them?
(12:55:58 PM) Musicguru: looking at the WC1 PCG download, there is the "music.mid" file that is probably the same as the dos counterpart - who knows, you might get music?
(12:56:00 PM) LOAFC: IIRC Sean had a multiplayer mockup ready to demo after Arena that had full range of motion
(12:56:14 PM) LOAFC: I worked on an absolutely insane browser project about 18 months ago
(12:56:25 PM) LOAFC: Which everyone would have hated
(12:56:33 PM) NinjaLA: except me
(12:56:34 PM) LOAFC: They bought the engine wholsale and were going to gradually turn it into Privateer
(12:56:48 PM) Musicguru: really, wow?
(12:56:51 PM) DMJC: browser based privateer
(12:56:52 PM) DMJC: hahaha
(12:57:03 PM) Jason_Ryock: Why would everyone have hated it?
(12:57:07 PM) LOAFC: It would have been so great for WC-as-a-world, though, we had thi wonderful setting and I was going to write whole volumes of material to fill it out.
(12:57:08 PM) Musicguru: actually, i can see that working
(12:57:09 PM) Frosty: Because people are contrary.
(12:57:11 PM) NinjaLA: like farmville only with less cows
(12:57:11 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe, because it was Facebook Privateer.
(12:57:24 PM) Jason_Ryock: No, with Space Cows
(12:57:27 PM) DMJC: LOL
(12:57:36 PM) DMJC: facebook privateer, I probably would have played it
(12:57:37 PM) LOAFC: A Dralthi! Click on it! Now buy credits for $5 or earn them by sitting here for six hours.
(12:57:50 PM) Jason_Ryock: Ah, a timesink game
(12:57:57 PM) Jason_Ryock: I would rather pay a subscription fee and not have to deal with that
(12:57:59 PM) NuAngel: I'd play it anyway. lol
(12:58:02 PM) Jason_Ryock: Me too
(12:58:10 PM) ChrisReidL: it was maybe sorta barely graphical even
(12:58:13 PM) LOAFC: Oh no! A little lost Paktahn has wandered into your solar system. He is lonely and scared and needs your help to find a good home.
(12:58:21 PM) Jason_Ryock: Hell, I'd play My Little Pony if it had Wing Commander branded on it
(12:58:22 PM) ChrisReidL: like not as fancy as farmville or lords of ultima
(12:58:23 PM) Musicguru: maybe do WC privateer: minecraft lol
(12:58:38 PM) NuAngel: If old games are getting remade in "HD" (Monkey Island, Serious Sam, etc...) - why not our beloved Wing Commander series?
(12:58:42 PM) NinjaLA: neopets: kilrathi edition
(12:58:52 PM) LOAFC: Why not, indeed
(12:58:53 PM) Musicguru: neopets ftw
(12:58:56 PM) LOAFC: Kinectimals are the new Neopets!
(12:58:59 PM) DMJC: lol craziest chick I've ever dated was into neopets
(12:59:02 PM) NinjaLA: adventure games are easy
(12:59:18 PM) NinjaLA: increase size.. use smudge tool, get voice actors
(12:59:34 PM) DMJC: wing commander 2 would potentially work the same
(12:59:40 PM) NinjaLA: admittedly they did do it right for the monkey island 2 update
(12:59:47 PM) Musicguru: you dumped her right dmjc - lol :P
(12:59:49 PM) ChrisReidL: recreating Wing Commander is more complicated than it sounds
(1:00:03 PM) ChrisReidL: the charm of the original games are the bright colors and low res graphics
(1:00:14 PM) ChrisReidL: just making everything sharper would change things
(1:00:14 PM) NuAngel: Absolutely.  I liked the first Monkey Island - but MI2 really got everything else right.
(1:00:18 PM) Musicguru: indeed chris
(1:00:18 PM) Justice: Yes, we can't make games with colors anymore
(1:00:26 PM) DMJC: I disagree
(1:00:28 PM) Jason_Ryock: Except Freelancer
(1:00:34 PM) Jason_Ryock: Which had GREAT color balance.
(1:00:34 PM) ChrisReidL: getting the feel of the spaceflight right would be very hard, it would innately feel different to fly, just as it does somewhat in every WC game engine
(1:00:35 PM) NuAngel: Oh, I know it would be a lot of work - but I think it would absolutely be worth it.
(1:00:37 PM) LOAFC: Hehehehe
(1:00:38 PM) Musicguru: lol justice - i'm completly colorblind after all these years
(1:00:51 PM) LOAFC: There was almost a new Freelancer a year or so ago
(1:00:56 PM) DMJC: I think the real charm in wing commander, is that there were lots of details people don't notice
(1:00:56 PM) NinjaLA: I'm still holding out hope that any 'new' wing commander game is going to be bright and cell shaded to make it look more like wc1 or 2
(1:01:05 PM) Jason_Ryock: Freelancer had some serious problems though
(1:01:07 PM) DMJC: but which make the game, things like doors going into areas which you never open
(1:01:10 PM) LOAFC: All those people who google Freelancer 2 and find the CIC would have been so happy.
(1:01:11 PM) Jason_Ryock: It was not dynamic at all
(1:01:12 PM) ChrisReidL: unfortunately you're kinda right Justice
(1:01:14 PM) LOAFC: (It was going to be an XBLA game)
(1:01:21 PM) DMJC: but you're thinking... out there in that door is the confederation and all the other stuff
(1:01:31 PM) ChrisReidL: you can see the number of colors decrease as the amount of colors the engine can produce increases :)
(1:01:50 PM) ChrisReidL: you don't have bright green/orange/blue/etc ships once Wing Commander becomes "photorealistic" around WC3
(1:01:59 PM) ChrisReidL: everything is a metallic gloss/matte
(1:02:00 PM) Justice: I *do* make games for a living :p
(1:02:02 PM) ChrisReidL: I know
(1:02:08 PM) Jason_Ryock: Who maintains the CIC Killboard?
(1:02:24 PM) LOAFC: You want to make browser Privateer?
(1:02:34 PM) Musicguru: problem is these days all games are coming out on consoles and it might be hard to "map" a wing commander game controller wise to a console - in my mind WC will always be PC
(1:02:39 PM) DMJC: make wing commander on the wii, then you can use all the bright colours you want
(1:02:44 PM) Jason_Ryock: Browser Privateer could be fun if it was done right
(1:03:20 PM) ChrisReidL: I don't think there's any problems with controllers
(1:03:28 PM) ChrisReidL: I got the joystick designed for Tom Clancy's Hawx last year
(1:03:37 PM) ChrisReidL: and I ended up playing the whole game with the controller anyways
(1:03:59 PM) LOAFC: Same experience with IL-2 here
(1:04:04 PM) ChrisReidL: got used to it quick, just like I did the Super Nintendo controller for WC1
(1:04:07 PM) ^Death_: The SNES WCs didn't do too bad, given the button count limitations, and today's controllers aren't anywhere near as limited.
(1:04:19 PM) Musicguru: i guess if you buy a joystick for a console, it wouldn't be too bad
(1:04:20 PM) LOAFC: Going from WC-designed-for-a-PC to WC-on-a-Playstation was tougher than the other way around would be.
(1:04:35 PM) LOAFC: Wing Commander 7 will be built for the Xbox and PS3 right out of the gate.
(1:04:35 PM) DMJC: WC on xbox actually sort of excites me
(1:04:39 PM) DMJC: esp if they pc port it
(1:04:47 PM) Musicguru: SNES WC I could manage (hope it comes out on VC one of these days)
(1:05:01 PM) DMJC: xbox 360 port basically guarantees it will run on linux
(1:05:18 PM) LOAFC: Good luck getting old Mindscape games on VC:/
(1:05:21 PM) ChrisReidL: we're actually almost more likely to see SNES WC1 on the Playstation
(1:05:34 PM) LOAFC: We already have, though :)
(1:05:34 PM) Musicguru: lol
(1:05:36 PM) ChrisReidL: via EA Replay for the PSP, which is the SNES version
(1:05:39 PM) ChrisReidL: right
(1:05:40 PM) ChrisReidL: oh yeah
(1:06:13 PM) Musicguru: how does WC play on PSP (I have the game but no PSP) :P
(1:06:32 PM) LOAFC: About as well as it did on the SNES.
(1:06:33 PM) ChrisReidL: http://www.wcnews.com/news/update/9234
(1:06:42 PM) LOAFC: I find the PSP controller awkward always, though
(1:06:49 PM) LOAFC: The stupid little direction nub is stupid.
(1:06:52 PM) DMJC: as long as the new WC doesn't use games for windows live, I'll be very happy with it :)
(1:06:57 PM) Justice: I had a little more trouble with it on the PSP than on the SNES, for that reason, I think
(1:07:09 PM) LOAFC: I don't understand why it isn't all jiggly like the Xbox or PS3 controllers
(1:07:22 PM) NinjaLA: wing commander steam and stardock edition...
(1:07:25 PM) ChrisReidL: it would have helped if there were two as well
(1:07:29 PM) LOAFC: There's probably a technical term for that.
(1:07:32 PM) ChrisReidL: like a normal controller
(1:07:36 PM) LOAFC: Yeah
(1:07:40 PM) ChrisReidL: or is there now? I haven't kept up with PSPs
(1:07:56 PM) LOAFC: The latest PSP was a non-started
(1:07:59 PM) NinjaLA: no, its even worse now, since they look like a slide-phone
(1:08:02 PM) LOAFC: A crazy digital-download only redesign thing
(1:08:18 PM) LOAFC: The PSP-3000 is a little mmore limber than the originals, though. I have a purple one.
(1:08:49 PM) ^Death_: (and speaking of SNES WC, I never did unwrap that joystick controller I got to try with it, to see if I could fly better than with the pad...)
(1:09:12 PM) LOAFC: Being an adult is so stupid. I can go out and buy a purple PSP because it amuses me. When I got the first one at D*C when I was in college I didn't eat for two weeks afterwards.
(1:09:18 PM) LOAFC: You really feel like you've earned it there.
(1:09:30 PM) Jason_Ryock: Later everybody!
(1:09:36 PM) LOAFC: The purple PSP comes with a Hannah Montana game, movie and sticker set, though.
(1:09:37 PM) Jason_Ryock left the room (quit: Quit: wcnews.com).
(1:09:39 PM) LOAFC: So there's that.
(1:10:20 PM) TimeShadow: Well I'm going now, it's pretty late. See ya guys, thanks for a great time. :) Once again, Happy birthday CIC!
(1:10:30 PM) NinjaLA: I can see how that would be a bit distressing
(1:10:33 PM) NinjaLA: see ya
(1:10:40 PM) ChrisReidL: seeya
(1:10:46 PM) TimeShadow left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(1:10:47 PM) LOAFC: True story about the updates--I took off Friday from work to get them written in advance... by Monday morning there still weren't any i the queue.
(1:11:04 PM) LOAFC: I like that kid. I hope he doesn't go all crazy like Goku.
(1:11:07 PM) LOAFC: No offense, Goku.
(1:11:37 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe, not having TheFraix here really does make me want to stay up later chatting.
(1:12:26 PM) ChrisReidL: hehe
(1:12:49 PM) LOAFC: more trivia? are there to be more prizes?
(1:13:09 PM) DMJC: privateer 2... broken in wine? or working... place bets now
(1:13:17 PM) ChrisReidL: yeah, and all the stuff he wins has to get shipped to a remote island in Indonesia
(1:13:23 PM) Justice: It's nice to be back in a chat room where people use full words, sentences, and usually even punctuation marks.
(1:13:50 PM) ChrisReidL: does the internet still have chatrooms?
(1:13:56 PM) LOAFC: wtf is punctuation
(1:13:56 PM) NinjaLA: we aim to please
(1:13:58 PM) ChrisReidL: I never hear about them anymore... haven't for years and years
(1:14:00 PM) Iceman16: only for predators
(1:14:02 PM) DMJC: has anyone played kilrathi saga on mac?
(1:14:07 PM) LOAFC: I think the rest of the internet is just one big Facebook.
(1:14:15 PM) Justice: Privateer 2 for Windows 95?  I actually am not sure if I ever tried it in Wine.  It was kinda dodgy even when I first got it on Windows 98
(1:14:32 PM) DMJC: oh it's insanely dodgy
(1:14:33 PM) ChrisReidL: that used to be like the main draw... AOL had chatrooms
(1:14:47 PM) LOAFC: I did render a messpod of today's videos on a Mac.
(1:14:51 PM) ChrisReidL: and you could only max out at 21 people per room, and everyone was all "wow! are you a real person or just a computer?"
(1:15:00 PM) LOAFC: I hope Joe got to see the updates.
(1:15:00 PM) NinjaLA: I have p2 for dos
(1:15:05 PM) LOAFC: You were a real person, right?
(1:15:07 PM) Dundradal: hehehe
(1:15:08 PM) PopsiclePete: back again
(1:15:12 PM) Dundradal: just jumped back in
(1:15:16 PM) Dundradal: Hey pete
(1:15:27 PM) PopsiclePete: seems I got back too late for a MP match
(1:15:32 PM) Justice: No, I was actually an improved version of Eliza
(1:15:54 PM) LOAFC: I believe the technical term for an improved version of Eliza is Spleak.
(1:16:05 PM) Dundradal: yeah
(1:16:08 PM) Dundradal: sorry Pete
(1:16:18 PM) DMJC: yeah P2 looks pretty broken
(1:16:28 PM) LOAFC: Did you see all the Star Trek people at D*C, Chris? 
(1:16:36 PM) LOAFC: A whole splod of them.
(1:16:38 PM) ^Death_: AOL chat room limit was 21? I thought it was a bit higher than that. Not MUCH higher, though
(1:16:40 PM) ChrisReidL: nope, only the one or two you mentioned here
(1:16:44 PM) ChrisReidL: I haven't been to the DC website in years
(1:17:46 PM) LOAFC: They jut added Scott Backula. It should be a good time.
(1:17:56 PM) DMJC: how big is DC usually?
(1:18:15 PM) ChrisReidL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aol Private rooms ? created by any user. Hold up to 23 people.
(1:18:25 PM) ChrisReidL: that's great
(1:18:28 PM) ChrisReidL: it's pretty big
(1:18:34 PM) ChrisReidL: it was like 25,000 people a few years ago
(1:18:41 PM) ^Death_: DMJC, last time I looked, a few years ago, it was nearing 50k
(1:18:41 PM) DMJC: ah yup
(1:18:42 PM) ChrisReidL: not sure if it continued booming upwards of that
(1:18:44 PM) ChrisReidL: god 
(1:18:55 PM) Dundradal: AOL still exists?
(1:19:42 PM) Musicguru: i've gotta go all but i always love these b-days!  here to many, many more!  Thanks CIC staff!
(1:19:51 PM) LOAFC: Have a good one!
(1:19:55 PM) LOAFC: Thanks for coming!
(1:20:07 PM) Musicguru: cheers! :)
(1:20:12 PM) DMJC: I run an anime/VG con 
(1:20:15 PM) LOAFC: It's bigger each year. Four hotels now.
(1:20:17 PM) Dundradal: Cya
(1:20:18 PM) Musicguru is now known as MG_away
(1:20:25 PM) DMJC: we're at ~5000 people atm
(1:20:30 PM) DMJC: which for Australia is pretty amazing
(1:20:30 PM) LOAFC: I haven't been in two years
(1:20:53 PM) NuAngel: Been browsing GoG.  Glad my wallet is on the other side of the room. lol
(1:21:06 PM) Justice: I've got a bunch of stuff from GoG
(1:21:53 PM) DMJC: aww GOG hasn't got raptor call of the shadows linux edition
(1:21:58 PM) NuAngel: I keep wanting stuff, able to resist.  Checking account is 77 cents strong right now.  Shocked I didn't bounce a check this week. lol
(1:22:02 PM) LOAFC: I was going to get Raptor but then I forgot about it.
(1:22:04 PM) DMJC: I need to buy a copy of that
(1:22:18 PM) NuAngel: What made the Linux edition special? I'm curious what makes this one the "2010" edition?
(1:22:23 PM) LOAFC: Is it on Steam? I like Steam.
(1:22:46 PM) DMJC: it's just a native port of it, it's the same as the windows/dos editions
(1:23:09 PM) Justice: I think I played the demo of Raptor a long time ago
(1:23:12 PM) DMJC: actually dos edition is probably the best one
(1:23:24 PM) LOAFC: That's true of every situation where DOS is an option
(1:23:28 PM) DMJC: can tie dos games into soundfont files and get really good sounding music through sound emulation
(1:24:04 PM) NinjaLA: raptor was neat
(1:24:24 PM) LOAFC: It was no Tyrian.
(1:24:35 PM) DMJC: Raiden was sweeet
(1:24:49 PM) LOAFC: I likke how there's a clear point where Tyrian goes from being a normal human game to being some insane crazy thing with flying carrots
(1:24:50 PM) NuAngel: According to GoG - the 2010 edition supports higher resolution than the 1994 original.  Very cool, most GoG games are just "Windows Compatible / DRM Free" downloads, but not necessarily updated.
(1:24:53 PM) LOAFC: But no one can pecify the point
(1:25:09 PM) DMJC: NuAngel, is it really higher res?
(1:25:18 PM) DMJC: or just a filter applied on pixelated gfx
(1:25:28 PM) Justice: Yeah, it uses an upscaling filter
(1:25:41 PM) Justice: According to the site
(1:25:46 PM) DMJC: dosbox can apply an upscaling filter as well...
(1:25:48 PM) Justice: (DosBox can do that too)
(1:25:50 PM) NuAngel: No, it says you can choose to go back to 'classic' graphics if you want, but it supports up to 1280x800.
(1:26:23 PM) NuAngel: It doesn't say upscaling filter - "The 2010 Edition features improved graphics and native support for higher resolutions (640x400, 960x600 and 1280x800). Standard, oldschool graphics are also available. "
(1:26:33 PM) NuAngel: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/raptor_call_of_the_shadows_2010_edition
(1:26:40 PM) Justice: I could have sworn I read that somewhere... maybe on RPS
(1:26:53 PM) LOAFC: (Raptor Posting Site, the #2 Raptor fan site)
(1:27:05 PM) Wedge009-Kilika left the room (quit: Client closed connection).
(1:27:13 PM) Justice: Ah, it was on Shacknews
(1:27:40 PM) Justice: I was thinking maybe I saw it on Rock, Paper, Shotgun
(1:28:25 PM) LOAFC: Fifteen years ago, our site was born with a simple vision: rip off Blues News but for Wing Commander long enough for Akkbar to be given a cushy job somewhere.
(1:28:46 PM) NuAngel: Success?
(1:28:49 PM) LOAFC: Now, today, I am proud to announce that our vision continues-we still hope Akkbar gets a job someday.
(1:29:05 PM) NuAngel: Amen.
(1:29:42 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: You should see my GOG collection, Nu.
(1:29:47 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: It's pretty sad.
(1:29:51 PM) LOAFC: Also a big round of applause to this dinky little netbook, Baby Blue, which went above and beyond over the weekend by actually doing all kinds of image processingy stuff.
(1:30:07 PM) Justice: Sad?
(1:30:09 PM) NinjaLA: you are the reason GOG is still in business Goku
(1:30:19 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Yeah.
(1:30:22 PM) NinjaLA: they did release a bunch of mps games though
(1:30:29 PM) NinjaLA: so they are no longer on my 'eh' list
(1:30:41 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: I have a screen somewhere.
(1:30:55 PM) Justice: Yeah, seeing they were gonna put MoM and MOO up there made me jump out of my chair at work
(1:31:08 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehe, yeah.
(1:31:29 PM) NuAngel: Why would your collection be sad, Goku?
(1:31:40 PM) LOAFC: How come these sites just sell PC games?
(1:31:41 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: There's so many.
(1:31:46 PM) Justice: I would probably have bought a bunch more stuff if I didn't already own it.
(1:31:53 PM) LOAFC: I'd kick the binders off a horse pillow to buy and play images of old Apple ][ stuff.
(1:31:56 PM) Justice: I've only got 17 games on there.
(1:32:02 PM) NinjaLA: yeah.. my whole collection is now myst and master of: games
(1:32:13 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: There's rumors Amiga games are coming to GOG.
(1:32:15 PM) NuAngel: lol
(1:32:18 PM) NinjaLA: and interstate 76
(1:32:28 PM) LOAFC: I keep thinking I should buy Myst on the iPhone and then remembering that I hate Myst.
(1:32:32 PM) Justice: I thought about getting I 76
(1:32:36 PM) NuAngel: Amen, LOAF.
(1:32:38 PM) DMJC: I got myst for 3do
(1:32:47 PM) DMJC: with the box..
(1:32:54 PM) NuAngel: nice.
(1:32:57 PM) LOAFC: Remember the I-76 knockoff Digital Anvil was supposed to do?
(1:33:02 PM) Trixter [Trixter@64.53.242.22] entered the room.
(1:33:04 PM) LOAFC: With Tony Zurovec?
(1:33:07 PM) Justice: There's definitely some C64 games I would rebuy if I could.
(1:33:20 PM) LOAFC: Howdy
(1:33:31 PM) NuAngel: Law of the West. Donald Duck's playground.  Two C64 games I want from my childhood!!
(1:33:39 PM) John_Eh [John_Eh@64-110-200-138.regn.hsdb.sasknet.sk.ca] entered the room.
(1:33:41 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Yeah, it was called... something.
(1:33:42 PM) Trixter: Hey all, Joe gave me a call tonight to let me know about your anniversary, thought I'd drop in and say Happy Birthday
(1:33:49 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Something Assault.
(1:33:58 PM) LOAFC: Thanks!
(1:34:10 PM) LOAFC: I think Joe fell asleep, though.
(1:34:14 PM) John_Eh: Yes...Happy Birthday...great job on the Website all these years
(1:34:15 PM) Trixter: heh
(1:34:35 PM) Dundradal: Hey
(1:34:45 PM) Trixter: He mentioned that some video was released that I should check out to see if I can improve the audio -- can't seem to find a link, does anyone know what he was referring to?
(1:34:58 PM) Justice: The ESRB video?
(1:35:02 PM) Trixter: yes
(1:35:04 PM) NinjaLA: yeah probably
(1:35:24 PM) Trixter: ah, found it, thanks
(1:35:41 PM) LOAFC: Must be the ESRB one--it's bad at the source, though.
(1:36:11 PM) TCSConcordia left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(1:36:15 PM) Trixter: true, but if it's pure video, that makes it interesting enough to try to work on.
(1:36:22 PM) Trixter: snagging now
(1:37:26 PM) DMJC: heh raiden craps on raptor
(1:37:43 PM) LOAFC: I remember liking Raptor, it had a Privateer-y aesthetic
(1:37:51 PM) LOAFC: Where it should look more dull than other games but didn't actually.
(1:37:52 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Yeah
(1:37:57 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Nice grays and browns.
(1:37:58 PM) LOAFC: They could do a lot wth shades of grey in 1993.
(1:38:32 PM) Trixter: You had 64 of them ;)
(1:39:00 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe
(1:39:39 PM) DMJC: starwars arcade: the acid trip
(1:39:57 PM) Dman [Dman@c-71-231-200-95.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(1:40:13 PM) LOAFC: Howdy
(1:40:19 PM) Dman: is there any cake left :P
(1:40:31 PM) LOAFC: There is half a cake left.
(1:40:33 PM) Dman: Hi Loaf been years haha
(1:40:43 PM) LOAFC: Everyone keeps saying that!
(1:40:49 PM) Justice: Urgh, every time the cake is mentioned, I have to resist the urge to go bake brownies
(1:41:04 PM) NinjaLA: I'm still trying to figure out what I should eat for breakfast
(1:41:06 PM) LOAFC: Then you may be... a woman.
(1:41:10 PM) Dman: hey i have to boxes of moist brownie mix
(1:41:11 PM) Justice: I *think* I've been checking in at least once a year
(1:41:25 PM) Justice: Because I can bake?
(1:41:37 PM) Dman: I pretty much keep up with chris lol
(1:41:40 PM) Justice: And make fudge, caramels, etc?
(1:41:44 PM) Dundradal: well I'm out have to wake up early to sit in traffic
(1:41:49 PM) Dundradal: thanks for another great year CIC
(1:41:54 PM) Dman: Hey Dun
(1:41:58 PM) Dundradal: Hey Dman
(1:41:59 PM) LOAFC: Fudge is pretty manly
(1:42:04 PM) LOAFC: Caramels... that could go either way
(1:42:12 PM) NinjaLA: hmm.. I need me a program that reads .mesh files
(1:42:17 PM) Dundradal: I'll see you guys later
(1:42:22 PM) NinjaLA: see ya Dundradal
(1:42:22 PM) LOAFC: Have a good one
(1:42:24 PM) ChrisReidL: hey Dennis
(1:42:28 PM) Dman: ~wave~
(1:42:29 PM) Dundradal left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(1:42:33 PM) Dman: Hey Chris :)
(1:42:35 PM) NuAngel: See ya, Dun!  Thanks for the reminder!
(1:42:38 PM) NuAngel: d'oh...  just missed him.

(1:43:07 PM) ChrisReidL: yeah, it's been great
(1:43:11 PM) ChrisReidL: lots of new material at the CIC
(1:43:16 PM) Dman: good stuff :)
(1:43:29 PM) Dman: Im still happy you got to be on national tv too 
(1:43:46 PM) NuAngel: National?  What'd I miss?
(1:44:06 PM) Dman: Uhhhh oops was it a secret lol
(1:44:25 PM) NuAngel: lol, I doubt it, I just got in here about an hour ago. ;)
(1:44:37 PM) Justice: You missed the reality show crew hiding behind your chair, Nu
(1:44:38 PM) NuAngel: Probably just me being behind the times.
(1:44:43 PM) LOAFC: Chris was on 20/20
(1:44:51 PM) Dman: I think the coolest part was when they said chris reid boeing scientist 
(1:44:53 PM) ChrisReidL: there was a segment on super soakers
(1:44:54 PM) ChrisReidL: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/video/super-soaker-super-collector-boeing-chris-reid-water-gun-collection-11328345
(1:44:56 PM) ChrisReidL: hehehe
(1:44:57 PM) ^Death_: The show 20/20 did an interview with the creator of the Super Soaker, Chris was on it briefly.
(1:44:57 PM) LOAFC: Don't worry, they caught the monster who did it to him.
(1:44:59 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehe
(1:45:11 PM) LeHah [LeHah@ool-4578be26.dyn.optonline.net] entered the room.
(1:45:12 PM) #wingnut: mode (+v LeHah) by ChrisReid
(1:45:26 PM) NuAngel: I shouldn't have pushed the chair into the wall then, Justice.  They're all dead. ;)
(1:45:27 PM) LOAFC: No, 20/20 onnly does serious journalism like who won The Bachelor.
(1:45:32 PM) LeHah: Damned DNS flush kept me out of here
(1:45:38 PM) LOAFC: That's not a thing.
(1:45:47 PM) Dman: it was 20/20 then and now stories 
(1:45:58 PM) NinjaLA: I wonder how many of us answered boeing scientist for that question.  I know I did
(1:46:03 PM) NinjaLA: that was awesome.
(1:46:10 PM) LOAFC: Hehehe, speaking of Boeing there's an insanely everywhere ad campaign for the tankers here
(1:46:25 PM) LOAFC: Boeing has the most awful radio ads onc onstantly where two fake people are talking about which tanker is better
(1:46:42 PM) Dman: lol
(1:46:50 PM) ChrisReidL: hehehe
(1:46:52 PM) LOAFC: Like identical to a commercial where people argue over which beer is better, but for tankers.
(1:46:52 PM) NinjaLA: nice
(1:46:59 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1: Hehehehehehe
(1:47:11 PM) Dman: well im really glad for chris just need to move him up to nasa scientist
(1:47:18 PM) LOAFC: "But wait, did you know that the Airbus hasn't even flown yet? And Boeing has 70 years of experience!" 
(1:47:26 PM) ChrisReidL: I see a lot of them because I follow the Tanker thing on facebook and some of the bigger stuff is in the Boeing news, but I haven't heard any radio ads
(1:47:33 PM) ChrisReidL: all that stuff is targeted around DC
(1:48:01 PM) Dman: lol loaf
(1:48:16 PM) LOAFC: Yeah, pretty much every commercial on the news radio station is for Boeing takers some of the time.
(1:48:26 PM) LOAFC: I'm sure we can hear them when you come through here.
(1:49:13 PM) NuAngel: Freakin' awesome Super Soaker collection, Chris!! :)
(1:49:18 PM) ChrisReidL: thanks
(1:49:34 PM) Dman: yeah chris i really want to see it in person next time you do a layout
(1:49:50 PM) NuAngel: I could pick the one that I grew up with out of your layout.  It was awesome to see that ol' thing again! :)
(1:50:19 PM) Dman: oh and hang out with you too of course
(1:50:27 PM) ChrisReidL: I can't wait
(1:50:43 PM) ChrisReidL: hehe
(1:50:45 PM) NuAngel: Very cool.
(1:50:46 PM) ChrisReidL: everyone here is incredibly anxious for the actual decision
(1:50:50 PM) Dman: check out the salt n peppa too lol
(1:50:51 PM) NinjaLA: tv tells me you watergun fight with incredibly good looking girls, ChrisReid.
(1:51:01 PM) ChrisReidL: there were practically riots when they announced that last thing for airbus
(1:51:25 PM) ChrisReidL: people went home physically ill
(1:51:53 PM) NinjaLA: I don't even work for boeing and I was pissed
(1:52:05 PM) LOAFC: I think everybody was
(1:52:38 PM) ChrisReidL: the water gun fight is my girlfriend and my sister and my friend and his wife and his son
(1:52:47 PM) ChrisReidL: we were in his yard because it had more space
(1:52:50 PM) Dman: hey chris i hope in not steping on anything but are you planning to marry lacey?
(1:53:14 PM) ChrisReidL: that's a good question
(1:53:37 PM) Anon922 [NuAngel@cpe-71-66-124-240.neo.res.rr.com] entered the room.
(1:53:38 PM) Dman: hehe and no shes not asking me somehow in secret
(1:53:45 PM) NuAngel left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(1:54:10 PM) Dman: Well you guys seem really good for each other
(1:54:27 PM) Anon922: Well thanks for the fun everyone, sorry I didn't get to be part of the full day, but I forgot all about it today!  Gotta work in the morning, but I'll be sure to drop back in again, soon! :)
(1:54:32 PM) Anon922 is now known as NuAngel
(1:54:48 PM) NinjaLA: see ya, Nu
(1:54:50 PM) ChrisReidL: I think so
(1:54:57 PM) ChrisReidL: seeya
(1:56:29 PM) ChrisReidL: I got Ghostbusters for $15 from Amazon
(1:56:39 PM) LOAFC: Movie, book or food?
(1:56:45 PM) ChrisReidL: XBox
(1:56:51 PM) LOAFC: Hehe, I also got it cheap from Amazon
(1:57:08 PM) Frosty: Maybe we all did?
(1:57:12 PM) Shades2585 left the room (quit: Quit: wcnews.com).
(1:57:15 PM) Frosty: I still need a blacklight to make my Slimer glow.
(1:57:30 PM) LOAFC: Maybe that's the one thing we had.
(1:58:15 PM) NuAngel left the room (quit: Quit: wcnews.com).
(1:58:18 PM) LOAFC: Well, CICblob took me away from the news all afternoon, have they said how Sean O'Keefe is yet?
(1:58:31 PM) NinjaLA: critical
(1:58:42 PM) NinjaLA: but alive
(1:58:47 PM) NinjaLA: so's his son
(1:59:19 PM) LOAFC: I heard he was alive around when I left work
(1:59:51 PM) NinjaLA: all the survivors are in anchorage now
(2:01:17 PM) LOAFC: I always liked him a lot
(2:01:42 PM) DMJC: what's the airbus thing?
(2:01:58 PM) ChrisReidL: the last round of tanker bidding
(2:01:58 PM) DMJC: ted stevens?
(2:02:02 PM) DMJC: ah
(2:02:08 PM) NinjaLA: ted stevens is dead now
(2:02:23 PM) DMJC: :(
(2:03:17 PM) ^Death_: Must be a slow news day at Slate. They have an article asking why there are so many Alaska aircraft crashes.
(2:03:26 PM) NinjaLA: I'll say
(2:03:28 PM) LOAFC: The internet is going to have to go without series of tubes jokes for a few weeks.
(2:03:37 PM) NinjaLA: I bet it has something to do with the weather
(2:03:38 PM) ^Death_: http://www.slate.com/id/2263533
(2:03:52 PM) NinjaLA: I should tell slate that not everywhere has bikini weather
(2:04:03 PM) ^Death_: Among other things. It's all pretty much 'well, fucking DUH!' stuff
(2:04:29 PM) Dman: Chris do you still monitor seti?
(2:04:43 PM) ChrisReidL: nope
(2:04:49 PM) ChrisReidL: I should probably set my PS3 up to do that
(2:04:54 PM) LOAFC: Then the aliens might already be upon us!
(2:05:01 PM) NinjaLA: you can fold with a ps3?
(2:05:02 PM) Dman: i bet you could
(2:05:06 PM) LOAFC: Heh, sure, you be the guy with a PS3 that does things.
(2:05:08 PM) ChrisReidL: we still have a CIC seti group I think with a bunch of people doing it
(2:05:15 PM) Frosty left the room (quit: Quit: Frosty).
(2:05:29 PM) ChrisReidL: in theory the PS3 does all kinds of stuff
(2:05:36 PM) ChrisReidL: possibly
(2:05:41 PM) DMJC: ps3 has a folding client
(2:05:41 PM) Dman: my ps3 plays blu-rays and thats about it...well sometimes i use pandora radio but thats about it
(2:05:50 PM) ChrisReidL: yeah, that sounds like a PS3
(2:05:58 PM) LOAFC: Can you still do foldy stuff without the Lunix hole?
(2:06:03 PM) DMJC: yeah
(2:06:10 PM) DMJC: the foldy stuff is ps3 native
(2:06:16 PM) LOAFC: Mine plays blurays and Wing Commander IV.
(2:06:18 PM) Dman: they really screwed it with that patch
(2:06:31 PM) DMJC: ps3 linux sucked anyway
(2:06:49 PM) DMJC: no 3d support, no xbox media center, no point
(2:06:55 PM) Dman: lol
(2:07:05 PM) Dman: yeah sony is ass backwards
(2:07:08 PM) LOAFC: No Xbox media center on the PS3? I am shocked.
(2:07:27 PM) LOAFC: Also my car isn't full of motorcycles
(2:07:29 PM) LOAFC: ... yet.
(2:07:51 PM) Wedge009: Oh, yeah, I'm still on SETI@home for CIC.
(2:08:02 PM) DMJC: xbox media center is a linux thing not an xbox thing
(2:08:09 PM) ChrisReidL: yeah, I guess I have WC4 too
(2:08:10 PM) ZFGokuSSJ1 left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(2:08:11 PM) DMJC: it was just made on xbox originally by random programmers
(2:08:14 PM) ChrisReidL: so it can play WC4
(2:08:19 PM) ChrisReidL: it hasn't ever played a game though
(2:09:11 PM) LOAFC: Hehe, I tried Home twice... and I have a few games on disc, but I've only ever played Bioshock
(2:09:35 PM) Dman: i played little big planet and god of war 3
(2:09:48 PM) LOAFC: I have God of War 3 and that God of War collection
(2:10:00 PM) Dman: and some of those free games and did do beta for mag
(2:10:03 PM) LOAFC: But I never plaed them. Dante for the Xbox seemed equall appealing.
(2:10:26 PM) LOAFC: Oh I had some Sony money at one point so I bought the WC movie too
(2:10:27 PM) Dman: gow3 is better imo
(2:10:31 PM) ChrisReidL: you have that Flower game too
(2:10:45 PM) LOAFC: Oh yeah Flower
(2:10:47 PM) LOAFC: That's kind of neat
(2:10:54 PM) Dman: thats not a game thats an experence lol
(2:10:57 PM) LOAFC: I think it's the only game I have an "trophies" in.
(2:11:28 PM) LOAFC: I wanted to send everybody WC movies on iTunes for the birthday but I could't figure out how
(2:11:34 PM) LOAFC: So I sent Trelane Sim City and left it at that
(2:11:42 PM) Dman: chris ill be moving soon... stil not sure where to yet tho
(2:11:47 PM) Sylvester [Sylvester@h-68-164-35-192.nycmny83.dynamic.covad.net] entered the room.
(2:11:51 PM) LOAFC: Howdy
(2:12:23 PM) Sylvester: Hey guys
(2:12:31 PM) Sylvester: I had a Civil Air Patrol activity to attend
(2:12:36 PM) Sylvester: couldn't make it until now
(2:12:46 PM) Dman: heya
(2:13:20 PM) LOAFC: Don't feel bad, without the Civil Air Patrol the commies would be all over us.
(2:13:31 PM) ChrisReidL: to a different area or still locally?
(2:13:39 PM) LOAFC: I wonder what part of me secretly actually believes that.
(2:13:47 PM) LOAFC: Probably 67%.
(2:13:50 PM) Sylvester: Locally - but our meeting ran from 1900 to 2200
(2:14:17 PM) Dman: Depends on my next job lol. Im not working currently either
(2:15:14 PM) ChrisReidL: good luck with that
(2:15:21 PM) ChrisReidL: maybe you could join the civil air patrol
(2:15:31 PM) Sylvester: haha - sorry Chris - thought you were talking to me
(2:15:33 PM) Dman: i have been working with a few recruiters and have some offers yesterday that im feeling out this week
(2:15:43 PM) Sylvester: I assume i've missed all the door prizes?
(2:15:52 PM) LOAFC: Sorry
(2:16:03 PM) LOAFC: I guess you can have a prize.
(2:16:12 PM) Dman: civil air patrol i think i weigh too much lol
(2:16:35 PM) LeHah left the room (quit: Quit: ~ Trillian Astra - www.trillian.im ~).
(2:17:01 PM) LOAFC: You may have a... WC2 CD-ROM.
(2:17:25 PM) Sylvester: No thanks, I already have three. Unless that one is special
(2:17:45 PM) LOAFC: It's probably not any more special than the others.
(2:17:58 PM) Justice: They're all special to me
(2:18:04 PM) Sylvester: Any particulary big prizes this year?
(2:18:32 PM) Justice: Like a cameo on the next Wing Commander game?
(2:18:41 PM) Justice: No
(2:18:50 PM) LOAFC: Nothing big
(2:19:11 PM) LOAFC: I may fall asleep soon
(2:19:13 PM) Justice: I would like to win that prize, though.
(2:19:23 PM) LOAFC: But before I do, I would just like to say this... about that.
(2:21:26 PM) ***Justice braces himself for a lot of text
(2:21:42 PM) Dman: or he fell asleep lol
(2:21:45 PM) ChrisReidL: meanwhile loaf is snowing at his computer
(2:21:49 PM) ChrisReidL: or snoring
(2:21:59 PM) Dman: hehe
(2:22:17 PM) Justice: I don't generally snow at my computer, unless my scalp is really dry
(2:23:04 PM) Sylvester: so what are the legal specifics that allow us to release the KS version of WC1?
(2:30:11 PM) ChrisReidL: party lasted pretty late this time
(2:33:06 PM) NinjaLA: there, I finally ate something
(2:34:24 PM) Trixter: back, watched the ESRB video
(2:34:37 PM) NinjaLA: sometimes there is a drawback to being 4 hours earlier than the east coasters
(2:34:52 PM) Trixter: I'm going to ask joe for the .ISO, I'm positive I can clean it up
(2:35:02 PM) Dman: if loaf is still typing.....
(2:35:16 PM) Justice: 4 hours?  Alaska?
(2:35:25 PM) NinjaLA: then he's gonna flood himself out of the channel again
(2:35:27 PM) NinjaLA: yeah alaska
(2:36:42 PM) Trixter: 11:35 here, have to jet.  ttyl
(2:37:07 PM) NinjaLA: see ya. 
(2:37:10 PM) Trixter left the room (quit: Quit: wcnews.com).
(2:37:55 PM) NinjaLA: now I wanna get an iPad just so I can stare at my creepy painting of Malcolm McDowell and Mark Hamill's chin
(2:38:00 PM) ***Justice would go to bed... but wants to see if LOAF is gonna say something and doesn't want to leave his PC fully powered all night
(2:40:31 PM) Dman: maybe all he wanted to say was ....
(2:41:26 PM) Justice: this
(2:41:30 PM) Justice: about that
(2:41:34 PM) Justice: I guess
(2:41:58 PM) Justice: Or maybe '...'
(2:42:17 PM) Justice: Oh, I see, that's what you said
(2:42:40 PM) Justice: Sick + Sleepy reduces brainpower
(2:43:24 PM) Dman: hehe
(2:43:45 PM) Dman: i added 1 too many . so i can see where the confusion could happen
(2:44:49 PM) Frosty [Frosty@c-76-28-127-43.hsd1.ct.comcast.net] entered the room.
(2:44:50 PM) #wingnut: mode (+o Frosty) by ChanServ
(2:44:54 PM) Justice: Frosty!
(2:45:19 PM) Frosty: Me back!
(2:45:23 PM) Dman: i wonder how often tectonic shifting causes oil pockets to spill into the ocean
(2:45:40 PM) Frosty: I wouldn't expect it's that often.
(2:46:16 PM) NinjaLA: yeah.. most of the oil has been down there for 50 million years.. if it popped up too often there wouldn't be any of it left for us to burn.  
(2:46:17 PM) ChrisReidL: loaf has to wake up for work in a few hours
(2:46:25 PM) ChrisReidL: so I'm pretty sure he's asleep now
(2:46:35 PM) ChrisReidL: I'm going to maybe get a haircut?
(2:46:41 PM) ChrisReidL: so thanks all for coming to the birthday party

(3:54:42 PM) ChrisReid: I don't think the party has run through the night in a long long time
(3:54:50 PM) ChrisReid: since we were all out on summer break in the 90s

(4:03:33 PM) NinjaLA: then when the world is still here I'll switch them to that meteor thats supposed to 'near miss' in 2063 or whatever it is
