02:37:55 Devastator: don't give me april fools jokes months later.
02:37:58 Devastator: I'm not expecting them.
04:47:23 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:48:46 Devastator: I think
ER's sleeping.
04:48:53 Devastator: so was wondering if you wanted to watch something.
04:51:44 sy has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:52:32 syv has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
04:52:56 sy: At this moment in time I have little desire to do much aside from sleep, but that isn't an option, so I'm fine with watching stuff.
04:53:43 syv: Also, I'm going to eat before doing anything.
04:54:13 syv: ...What kind of "nap" starts at ten PM, anyway?
04:54:56 Devastator: the kind a cat takes?
04:56:48 syv: Hmm. Doesn't seem like it, I've got four cats orbiting me and begging for food.
04:57:24 syv: Another is sleeping on the food bin.
04:57:48 Devastator: I thought you had them trained to not do that.
04:58:56 Devastator: well, we could watch a bit of Mellowlink.
04:59:03 Devastator: or did you have something in mind?
05:02:37 syv: Eh. LDR is something I'd like to watch, but too many of those are "
ER would love this", with too few being "
Dev would love this", so Mellowlink is prolly a better choice. LDR is rewatchable, but I'm also curious about "Man what hunts giant robots with giant gun".
05:03:39 Devastator: lets watch a couple, then.
05:04:46 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:05:29 er: Ah, see, at this moment I also have little desire to do anything but sleep. But it is an option for me!
05:06:43 er: Except I keep coughing which wakes me up which is horrible.
05:12:57 syv: Well, Mellowlink I suppose. Opening up comp now.
05:17:33 Devastator: and in glorious 4:3
05:19:34 syv: Ehh, you count, because I was looking at a dofferent window and don't have timestamps.
05:20:08 Devastator: welcome to the late 80s.
05:20:33 Devastator: this may be the most late 80s of anything I have ever watched.
05:20:35 syv: Hmm. I still haven't watched Akira.
05:21:17 syv: Recoil doesn't work that way...
05:21:42 Devastator: War... war never changes.
05:21:45 syv: It's the eighties in 1723?
05:22:35 Devastator: So.. why did that blow up again?
05:25:50 syv: This isn't how poker works
05:27:11 Devastator: That's not only evil, it's incredibly petty.
05:27:38 Devastator: Nice of him to open the base doors.
05:29:15 Devastator: Points for bieng a guy using bioncs while wearing goggles.
05:29:29 Devastator: also seems a liiiitle coincidental, this.
05:30:12 Devastator: It's the REVENGE bonus.
05:31:09 Devastator: "Many bothans died for this information."
05:31:37 syv: I hope he does CQB with that BFG
05:31:40 Devastator: "Somebody set us up the bomb."
05:32:02 Devastator: You know, one guy looking at the returning vehicle and the jig would have been up.
05:33:33 syv: And one decent marksman would kill him.
05:33:44 Devastator: pretty much, but he's got the protagonist bonus.
05:34:04 Devastator: So going to make sure your troops are going to want to protect you now.
05:35:34 Devastator: Ninja Brand playing cards.
05:35:42 syv: how will he fit the gun through air vents?
05:35:47 Devastator: Also, fitting that gun in a vent is going to be fun.
05:36:05 Devastator: The manliest name ever.
05:36:24 Devastator: The marksmanship continues to deteriorate.
05:36:29 syv: Carry a giant rifle, it'll double as a stepladder, the most tactical tool ever
05:36:47 Devastator: probably put the sights off, but..
05:37:14 syv: Totally gonna make "stepladder" standard equipment in that CQC game if I ever finish it.
05:38:02 Devastator: is there a hatch release right there on the front?
05:38:05 Devastator: That seems like a bad idea.
05:38:16 Devastator: Maybe there's a lock on the inside.
05:38:23 Devastator: Damn, didn't know that.
05:38:28 Devastator: that would have made
RC-killing a lot easier.
05:38:54 syv: It was lockable, but nobody even knew about it until Heph.
05:38:58 Devastator: I do like the mech design.
05:39:05 Devastator: not that it mattered..
05:39:24 Devastator: maaaybe you should be behind something.
05:39:39 syv: Bravery and stupidity are closely related.
05:39:44 Devastator: That protag bonus is nifty.
05:40:22 syv: His eyes went totally kawaii for one frame there. :P
05:40:40 Devastator: YES, CHARGE THE MECH WITH YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
05:41:29 Devastator: CQC kill on a mech.
05:42:18 Devastator: driving off into the sunset.
05:42:43 syv: That was silly, but pretty decent all the same.
05:43:14 Devastator: and very much silly.
05:43:23 syv: How tall do you figure he is?
05:44:52 syv: Hmm, yeah, those are 20mm.
05:45:18 syv: A bit larger in his hand than 50 BMG is in mine, and I'm small.
05:46:33 syv: I should've went bavk to 5 on your six ;p
05:47:56 Devastator: "It is night again."
05:48:12 Devastator: Highly underrepresented in anime.
05:49:18 Devastator: Oh, the voiceover is the IA soldier.
05:49:48 Devastator: I like the geeky enforcer.
05:49:55 Devastator: Nice variety there.
05:50:25 Devastator: "You idiot, that's a weapon for a magical girl, not a thug like you."
05:50:38 syv: Aww, I was hoping he'd pill out a pistol and cap the guy
05:50:55 Devastator: Apparently carrying around a giant rifle all day makes you strong.
05:51:23 syv: That was more technique. Throwing people who don't balance well is remarkably trivial.
05:51:28 Devastator: ..why does skill in hand-to-hand combat automatically make you a mech pilot?
05:51:32 syv: Though I didn't watch cloee enough.
05:51:44 Devastator: he caught the guy's punch first, IIRC.
05:54:51 syv: Does the entire show consist of him meeting people from the past, that he hates?
05:55:00 Devastator: That's the plot, yes.
05:55:11 Devastator: he has a big list of assholes.
05:55:19 Devastator: and they all have to die.
05:56:14 Devastator: It doesn't strictly follow the format of one per episode, but it's a short series.. that's the plot.
05:58:27 syv: Cool, I thought they looked a little small!
05:59:39 Devastator: ..who the fuck pisses off the mechanic for the machine that keeps you alive?
06:00:41 syv: Overconfident bastards who deserve to die?
06:01:37 Devastator: I do like his outfit.
06:02:14 Devastator: ..I'd take those odds.
06:02:27 syv: What do they even gain if they *win*?
06:02:39 Devastator: Might be betting on how long it takes the AT driver.
06:02:42 Devastator: or other side bets.
06:03:41 Devastator: like 'will he do it without getting hit at all' or other stuff.
06:04:08 Devastator: they really should have armoured that glass, too.
06:04:22 syv: Maybe the danger is part of the appeal.
06:04:57 Devastator: I like the external magazine for that gun.
06:05:34 Devastator: "You dinged my mech!"
06:06:06 Devastator: I think he bounced a shot off it that hit the camera.
06:07:59 syv: I love the design of that piledriver
06:08:01 Devastator: the old hydraulic jack under the shirt trick.
06:08:37 Devastator: Still the least manly name in history.
06:09:37 Devastator: so what about the piledriver?
06:11:14 syv: It's an underbarrel melee attachment for an antitank rifle, for one thing
06:11:34 syv: But it's *also* a recoilless standalone tool, which is pure awesome
06:17:46 syv: Man, if his allies were even a quarter as good as them, I'm not sure it was so evil to issue them only rifles and no ATs.
06:18:04 Devastator: It went beyond that.
06:18:30 Devastator: There's a later episode that covers it via flashback, so I won't spoil it all.
06:18:37 Devastator: but it was incredibly dickish.
06:19:02 Devastator: Until it came up, I kept asking 'What the hell did they do??' to
PW a lot.
06:20:47 Devastator: The guy needs to move his security perimiter a bit further out.
06:22:06 syv: Oooh, multiple enemy mechs this time.
06:22:30 Devastator: but how is he going to show this guy a dogtag?
06:23:13 Devastator: Know your priorities, man.
06:23:26 Devastator: no sense in crushing rebels if you can't follow it up with the best wine.
06:24:10 syv: It's almost like legged tanks are a bad idea.
06:25:21 Devastator: although 'in the jungle' is like the only position where you might want one.
06:26:11 Devastator: "I can wear this heavy clothing in the scorching hot jungle and not give a damn, because I'm Mellowlink Arity."
06:27:10 syv: Temperature control cyborg augments?
06:27:12 Devastator: Can't shoot him, hasn't shown a dogtag yet.
06:27:35 Devastator: Oh, btw, word's passed around.
06:27:40 Devastator: these guys talk to each other.
06:27:41 syv: Opening up the cockpit in a guerilla infested jungle is a remarkably bad idea.
06:28:02 syv: Yeah, the spook told this guy earlier.
06:28:34 Devastator: Nice to see the rifle being shown off, not just the piledriver.
06:28:55 syv: What distance *can* it penetratw their armor?
06:29:02 Devastator: From the front? It can't.
06:30:45 syv: How is he missing with a shotgun firing explosive shot?
06:31:17 syv: It wrecks an area like three feet in radius.
06:32:03 Devastator: Mellowlink's got like eight fate points.
06:32:15 Devastator: DO YOU GUYS NOT HAVE RADIOS?
06:32:29 Devastator: eh, they think there was only one, so..
06:34:40 Devastator: another nice throw.
06:34:48 Devastator: how fucking good at throwing is he?
06:35:32 Devastator: ahh, more than one trap.
06:36:09 Devastator: Maybe the plan is to just get them all to teamkill each other.
06:36:25 syv: STILL NOT HOW RECOIL WORKS
06:37:11 syv: Damn, he wasn't hit yet, can't use his blood
06:37:21 Devastator: Mud, the reasonably-priced blood.
06:37:36 Devastator: and more absurd throwing skills.
06:45:48 Devastator: Figures that the way to actually score a hit is to shoot from a moving vehicle.
06:45:55 syv: He should really carry a machine pistol or something of that sort with him.
06:46:14 Devastator: plenty of those to steal.
06:46:26 syv: Nah, the way to score a hit is to shoot at him when he has something expenadble to hit.
06:46:43 Devastator: At this point I'm not certain an Exterminatus would work.
06:47:16 Devastator: besides, he can't use a machine pistol for plot reasons.
06:48:02 syv: He should've left a landmine in the vent
06:48:31 Devastator: One day I will get to make a tripwire like that, and have a remote-triggered trap in the ceiling above it.
06:48:38 syv: He has no issue manuevering that rifle at all, huh?
06:48:51 Devastator: It's his totem, he just generates new ones.
06:49:44 Devastator: elevators don't work that way, but..
06:50:20 syv: They work that way in spaceships~
06:50:28 Devastator: hell, it's a spaceship.
06:50:42 Devastator: might have antigravity, so the guy could literally squash him with the acceleration.
06:51:23 Devastator: oop, that one didn't release.
06:51:46 Devastator: Hell of a war where something like this doesn't get scavenged.
06:52:46 Devastator: What is this, reverse dutch angle?
06:54:20 syv: He seems to be falling into every single trap.
06:54:30 Devastator: I think the guy just has traps in every room.
06:54:38 Devastator: so there's always a trap.
06:56:37 syv: It's just terrible, but it's also wonderful
06:56:53 Devastator: What would make it less terrible?
06:57:29 Devastator: and that looks pretty close to a machine pistol.
06:57:33 syv: Not being used in CQB. Also, having a scope mounted to the barrel, like every sane sniper rifle.
06:58:30 Devastator: Maybe the accuracy is only ok.
06:59:01 syv: That's a fair point, it *is* intended for mechs, which it can only penetrate at close range.
07:00:16 Devastator: This is a little precarious.
07:00:31 Devastator: he has.. another gun!
07:00:50 syv: And then he sits directly in front of the door.
07:00:59 Devastator: well, he knows Mellowlink's out of ammo.
07:01:10 Devastator: and for REVENGE reasons can't use another weapon.
07:01:44 syv: Ohh, so this is the guy who taught Mellow his tactics. Nice.
07:01:48 Devastator: ..and he just walks out of there.
07:02:08 Devastator: Nah, that was his old platoon leader.
07:02:13 Devastator: he was named a few times.
07:02:42 syv: No one could survive that!
07:04:08 syv: Exactly, how could he have survived that? ;P
07:04:21 syv: That's enough of that for now, methinks.
07:05:17 syv: The CQB game's CQC-faction AMR is now threeshot, internal magazine, semiauto, with a horribly mounted scope.
07:06:04 Devastator: and an underbarrel piledriver?
07:06:16 syv: That'll have to be a player project, sadly.
07:09:32 Devastator: sadly looked like fairly conventional rounds.
07:10:44 syv: Did we ever get a shot of his rifle's bore?
