00:06:25 ER: you know, maybe I shouldn't watch movies on wednesday night, since I have work on thursday and friday mornings
00:06:53 ER: I didn't work last week but I'm feeling good enough to do so this week so... you know, maybe shouldn't stay up
02:06:17 ER: though if wednesday means like, four hours from now, guess I'll see you in a bit
03:49:33 Devastator: it probably won't be too late.
03:49:39 Devastator: depends on when
syv shows up.
04:16:32 ER: yes, nyafor rules which may or may not be wise
04:17:44 ER: a squad is four models. or a different number than four but that seems easiest for graphics. every model gets an armor and a gun. the squad has one HP number, which is the sum of all the armor.
04:18:23 ER: when a model gets shot, it rolls to either die, go down, or be fine. this roll adds the squad's HP as a bonus
04:19:00 ER: so, you're less likely to die if you have buddies to support you, and if your buddies have armor, and if you haven't been suppressed because suppressing reduced armor
04:19:26 ER: autofire to damage squad HP, single shots to force death saves and pick them off
04:19:43 ER: and reaching 0HP makes you start rolling death saves anyway
04:20:25 ER: normally, the least armored models die first, then the grunts. unless you attack with a sniper, then you can choose who dies.
04:51:52 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:54:21 Devastator: we're hoping to watch MiB tonight.
05:08:33 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:09:24 ER: could I have that link to the movie?
05:10:12 Devastator: sure. You want a forum PM?
05:10:30 syv: Will you be joining us for the movie?
05:10:56 syv: And heyo to the other two of you, too~
05:11:05 MidJag: It depends on my interenet
05:11:26 MidJag: It's finals so like everyone is using the interenet right now
05:33:48 ER: uh, just deleting things from my downloads folder, after making sure to save the things I want
05:33:54 syv: Shadow Tactics is 90% off on Steam.
05:34:40 syv: Commandos, except modern and set in late Sengoku Japan.
05:34:50 ER: crap, still *mostly* full hard drive :P
05:38:15 MidJag: Shadow tactics does look kinda neat
05:39:25 syv: Also, you can have a teenage girl stab the final boss with a crappy knife she seems to have just found somewhere
05:39:54 ER: planes to level the playing field
05:44:13 syv: Will look at clouds, then ready the movie
05:50:17 syv: America's persona before we had the statue of liberty
05:50:20 MidJag: Man I remeber when I was a kid the aliens were pretty scary
05:50:38 MidJag: Have we all seen this movie?
05:50:57 ER: I've only seen a later one I think
05:51:08 Devastator: This is more modern than the usual 80s ones I suggest.
05:51:16 MidJag: Isn't this an 80's movie?
05:51:17 Devastator: so you kids have a chance here. ;-p
05:51:50 Devastator: good trait for a scientist that.
05:52:38 MidJag: I'm a mad scientest
dev, there's a difference~
05:54:44 MidJag: But I actually read quite well, I just don't always pay attention.
05:55:24 Devastator: ahh, division 6. ;-p
05:55:29 syv: ...And only now do I cstch the "aliens" pun
05:56:11 MidJag: Yeah, I kinda missed the immigrant allusion thing when I was a kid
05:56:49 Devastator: but yes, it's also a pun.
05:56:52 MidJag: Man thhose guns are cool
05:57:01 Devastator: maybe I should run a MiB game.
05:57:23 syv: Yes, cops are totally fine with you casually reaching into your pocket
05:57:32 Devastator: I think the brain got broken at this point.
05:57:40 Devastator: besides, Tommy Lee Jones is white and wearing a suit. ;-p
05:57:45 MidJag: To be fair they are wearing a suit and scream feds.
05:58:29 Devastator: that's not half bad.
05:58:51 MidJag: Heh, I love how no one questions the blue gunk
05:59:05 syv: The mind is willing but the flesh is weak
06:00:05 MidJag: Ah the new york post, it's like written fox news
06:00:14 Devastator: It was a bit different in 1997.
06:00:57 MidJag: Also I never questions why eddie murphy is wearing like half of a tack suit
06:01:19 syv: I was wondering why he's got orange pants
06:01:21 Devastator: that's not eddie murphy.
06:01:41 MidJag: I am really bad with celebrity faces.
06:01:43 Devastator: he'd be too fast if they were red.
06:03:08 MidJag: I'm not sure but it seems odd for a cow to just be grazing out there.
06:03:49 syv: Yeah, cows just stand wherever
06:03:50 MidJag: Yeah as I recall I saw this movie a bit young
06:04:06 MidJag: I think I was like 6 or 7?
06:04:19 Devastator: that would be a bit young. ;-p
06:04:29 MidJag: I'm not entierlly sure how my dad convinved my mom this was a kids movie.
06:05:00 MidJag: Needless to say he was incapable of convinving her of any other movie being a kids movie again.
06:05:28 MidJag: hahahaha, I forgot about that scene
06:05:29 Devastator: well, it clearly didn't mess you up too much.
06:07:01 Devastator: those neuralyzers are incredible.
06:07:23 Devastator: 'who are you', heh.
06:07:31 Devastator: quick on the uptake.
06:07:57 MidJag: so, wait alien dudes eye's were gills?
06:08:11 syv: This movie is really quiet.
06:08:28 Devastator: yeah, probably the encoding.
06:09:45 MidJag: Now that's a set of guns.
06:10:30 Devastator: apparently that guy's a squid.
06:10:38 MidJag: Maybe he's an ocopotuse dude?
06:10:47 Devastator: well, the guy who was chased down.
06:10:51 syv: So something that follows a body plan akin to a cephaloid
06:11:10 Devastator: musta zapped him twice to get him here.
06:11:54 Devastator: also some serious handlettering there.
06:12:10 MidJag: I like how that implies Tommy lee joe just drank all of that instead of Will smith
06:12:45 Devastator: this movie doesn't waste much time.
06:13:28 MidJag: Yes that's a normal buildiing
06:13:42 MidJag: Or however that's spelled
06:13:52 Devastator: What button do you press?
06:14:20 MidJag: That guy toss's in NYPD with zero pause
06:14:31 Devastator: well, he's naming where everyone's from.
06:14:58 Devastator: mmm hmm, gotta establish those character traits.
06:15:07 Devastator: we had quick on the uptake, next is insightful.
06:16:36 Devastator: <Horrible screeching sound>
06:16:56 Devastator: what guns were those,
syv?
06:16:59 MidJag: This movie really does move really fucking quicklly
06:17:27 syv: Wasn't actually looking at the pistols for once
06:17:42 syv: I HATE how he's handling that pistol though
06:17:48 syv: I remember this scene really well
06:17:56 Devastator: yeah, it's really memorable.
06:18:00 Devastator: this whole movie is like that.
06:18:08 MidJag: Really this whole scene feels like the philosphy of mortahseen.
06:18:17 MidJag: Wait I meant Awful hospital
06:18:51 syv: "You're everything we expect from gov training"
06:19:05 MidJag: To be fair, I've met a decent number of officer canidates, and yeah. They really are
06:19:38 MidJag: Aww, you brought that tall man some flowers, god I love that line so much
06:20:21 Devastator: remember, this Edwards forgot about the alien.
06:20:36 MidJag: I'm not familiar with that refrence
06:20:40 Devastator: the guy who the bug is wearing as a suit.
06:20:45 ER: the moral is that ayys are scary, but freinds
06:21:57 Devastator: others you get to shoot with awesome guns.
06:22:11 MidJag: You get an awesome fucking gun.
06:22:24 Devastator: Yeah, that's one to think over.
06:22:28 MidJag: I mean I'd think it over.
06:22:28 syv: You get a tiny fucking gun
06:22:38 MidJag: That makes things explode.
06:22:50 syv: Massive responsibility, zero human contact?
06:23:01 MidJag: It's just like being a radiologist~
06:23:03 Devastator: It'd take a while for me.
06:23:18 MidJag: I'd probably do it, think of all the weird science shit I'd get to see
06:23:24 ER: ha, no, I don't have what it takes anyways
06:26:15 MidJag: Breelack and Bob style names
06:27:04 Devastator: so are they limited to 26 agents?
06:27:24 MidJag: I rember this scene vividly for some reason
06:28:21 MidJag: Maybe they use greek letters for excess
06:28:42 MidJag: God that fucking cockroach dude was distrubing when I was 7
06:28:43 Devastator: Nah, Kay said 'most of them in manhatten'
06:28:54 Devastator: so this is probably most of the agents.
06:29:38 syv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
06:30:04 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:31:01 ER: he's better at driving than he is at moving his body
06:31:11 MidJag: Hey driving only needs like two limbs
06:31:28 Devastator: wouldn't the bug be used to more limbs?
06:31:33 MidJag: And only rough motor skills
06:32:46 MidJag: Man those are very inattentive people to not notice a massive stinger hit people
06:33:06 Devastator: You'd be amazed at how much people will not look at.
06:33:08 syv: At least hw didn't eat the cat, that was what I was worried about
06:34:30 MidJag: It's like a baby dude from star wars
06:35:41 MidJag: God this movie moves fast
06:36:55 MidJag: So wait when they get a new agent after one retires do they have to get a new guy with the same first inital?
06:37:08 Devastator: the guy who retired was Dee.
06:37:14 MidJag: So now they have two J's?
06:37:25 syv: They took their time on replacing J
06:37:26 Devastator: There was one J locker, so they must be missing a few letters.
06:41:37 syv: Back. Will be checking again in ~6m though
06:42:07 MidJag: So do we want to just wait? Instead of syncing up twice?
06:42:32 syv: I don't remember what's special about the cat
06:42:33 Devastator: we can probably finish it off after the next gap.
06:42:37 Devastator: cat's a plot point!
06:42:57 Devastator: plus credits and what not.
06:43:39 Devastator: Creativity users should watch monster movies.
06:43:39 MidJag: God this movie was fucking scary when I was a kid. My dads great but he doesn't always have the best of ideas of what would be considered scary to small children.
06:44:09 Devastator: yeah, can totally see that.
06:44:27 syv: I vaugely remember finding it scary, but also cool.
06:44:34 syv: I don't have any idea what age I was, though.
06:45:01 Devastator: I think I saw it in theaters.
06:47:53 MidJag: What is funny is that watching any movie that involved violence with my parents quicklly turned into them sarcasitcally remarking on survivability of actions.
06:48:24 MidJag: So like any PG-13 or action movie can be very etnertaining to watch with them
06:49:25 syv: Yeah, humans are remarkably difficult to kill
06:50:25 syv: Ah, that's the cop from earlier.
06:50:37 Devastator: not sure, might be a different one.
06:50:40 ER: and the same coroner, right
06:50:47 Devastator: same coroner, yeah.
06:50:54 Devastator: they must zap her a lot.
06:51:01 syv: Pretty sure it's the same actor
06:51:55 MidJag: Okay, am I crazy or is the medical exminer not wearing a bra?
06:52:24 syv: Well I'm not gonna be able to tell now
06:52:36 Devastator: you get more chances.
06:53:04 Devastator: Need more ranks in bluff.
06:56:11 syv: Cat would seem like a terrifyingly large bodyguard to someone that small.
06:56:26 MidJag: So wait if they're just vessels Why is the other guy so fucking huge?
06:56:26 Devastator: now you know why he was hiding out on earth.
06:56:30 Devastator: they just sell bodyguards like that.
06:56:37 Devastator: they got a deal on the bigger body.
06:57:02 MidJag: heh, clearlly they do this before
06:58:21 Devastator: how long was he banging on that?
06:58:27 syv: ...They reallt should've noticed the cat.
06:58:32 Devastator: makes sense. Attach it to their strongest soldier. ;-p
06:58:49 ER: be fair, they're not looking out for anything weird
07:00:29 MidJag: What is the Ahh about
syv
07:00:39 MidJag: Wait I'm confused who is the lady?
07:00:45 Devastator: Kay was dating her.
07:00:48 syv: Figured out a plot point. ;P
07:02:14 syv: Fucking points guns EVERYWHERE
07:02:44 Devastator: also, damn, that's an efficient tow driver.
07:02:46 MidJag: And I mean the NYPD does have one of the lowest accuracy ratings of all cops in the US
07:03:24 MidJag: Hahaha, I rember I laughed at that scene the first time I saw it.
07:04:58 Devastator: Jay's not bringing up that accuracy rating.
07:05:22 Devastator: Well, now you know why he runs guys down.
07:05:33 Devastator: only way he can get close enough to hit anything.
07:05:56 syv: They need to issue normal pistols too
07:06:09 Devastator: Yeah, he did make a decent shot with a normal pistol.
07:06:12 ER: I mean, the tiny thing doesn't have sights
07:06:23 Devastator: ..it's probably the weakest gun they have.
07:06:37 syv: No, Kay's headsploder was weaker.
07:07:24 Devastator: that might have been the stun setting.
07:07:33 MidJag: That may have been a low power setting
07:08:35 MidJag: Orions a good name for a cat
07:08:48 syv: Woman is actually a corvid
07:08:51 Devastator: god, I had a name picked for my next cat.
07:09:02 Devastator: it was so good, but I forgot it.
07:14:14 MidJag: It suddenly got a slimier in that galaxy
07:14:35 syv: "He's in a cab!" In NYC...
07:14:36 Devastator: this is fairly realistic for the period.
07:16:03 syv: "They will destroy the galaxy, and whatever planet it's on"
07:17:29 MidJag: God that is the coolest scene
07:18:06 syv: Neuralizer built into the jet engine
07:18:16 MidJag: And it really does show when K finally gets to have fun
07:18:28 Devastator: also, Kay is insanely competent.
07:19:40 Devastator: aight, real time check.
07:19:54 MidJag: The dudes just like, eh. Must be tuesday, planets almost being destroyed
07:20:39 Devastator: those are some serious guns.
07:20:41 ER: oh yeah, the bigger ones are more powerful
07:20:41 MidJag: Damn, now that's some fire power
07:20:50 MidJag: And I can't belive J actually hit someting
07:21:09 MidJag: Except I could belive those guns are smart targeting
07:21:25 ER: "just shoot the damn thing"
07:21:27 Devastator: I could see some homing at work.
07:22:21 Devastator: well, time for some pre-2000s CGI.
07:22:42 MidJag: This was much scarier and less hilarious when I was 7
07:23:20 Devastator: It's held up better than I was expecting, actually.
07:23:22 ER: am I supposed to thing this is bad
07:23:30 ER: he SAID he was getting his gun back
07:23:31 MidJag: I don't think they do actually.
07:24:15 Devastator: gotta admit, that's persistance.
07:24:29 syv: It's one of his few strengths
07:24:51 Devastator: well, persistance, running, and quick thinking.. sometimes.
07:25:39 ER: hey, I'd be a little mad if some alien started smooshing alien mammals
07:26:16 Devastator: now.. did he make it in time?
07:26:46 MidJag: I like how he didn't grab J's gun
07:27:38 Devastator: There's more than one of them. ;-p
07:28:05 MidJag: Huh, is that the retirment code word?~
07:29:13 Devastator: the suits are clean!
07:29:50 MidJag: I love the idea of the MIB cover stories are just people in comas
07:30:24 ER: ...now much else they could do, really
07:30:43 MidJag: Yeah, but it's just a funny thought of there being an MIB coma ward
07:30:57 MidJag: Of just plausible cover stories of comas.
07:31:17 MidJag: Man that was a fun movie
07:32:53 MidJag: We should watch tropic thunder sometime
07:34:11 syv: I can remember it coming out, which I feel disqualifies it
07:35:11 MidJag: Do you know the general premise?
07:35:27 MidJag: But it's both a parody of vietnam movies and how hollywood makes movies in general
07:37:11 Devastator: all I think I've got on the menu are the BttF sequels and maybe the sequels to MiB.
07:37:27 Devastator: although I remember the BttF sequels being good and the MiB ones being direct-to-TV stuff.
07:37:59 Devastator: wouldn't mind having something else in there.
07:38:36 MidJag: I will say it is a comedy so I'm not sure if people will like it
07:38:37 syv: I haven't seen it, but I know the premise.
07:38:54 MidJag: and I will be pretty fucked if we watch it.
07:39:14 MidJag: Like I just can't watch the movie sober at this point.
07:40:15 Devastator: some shows are like that.
07:41:05 ER: when I hear "it's good if you're drunk" as "it's bad"
07:41:19 MidJag: I've seen it when not drunk and it's hilarious
07:41:30 Devastator: Yeah, but this is 'it's good if
MJ is drunk'
07:41:32 Devastator: which is differetn.
07:41:50 MidJag: I reccomended BNA in the midst of a fever dream
07:42:16 MidJag: And then got really crossed througout it....It honestlly made more sense then
07:43:06 syv: A lot of things make more sense if your mind is impaired.
07:43:52 Devastator: aren't magnets like super simple?
07:44:46 MidJag: They like repel things man, it's crazy~
07:44:59 Devastator: whenever you touch stuff, it's just electrons interacting with each other.
07:45:24 Devastator: some stuff is in such a way that these little interactions can add up and combine with each other.
07:45:31 syv: We're mostly space, not stuff
07:45:42 Devastator: if other stuff is the right kind of stuff, it want to get close to them.
07:45:45 MidJag: No to me dark magic is fucking evolution. Which I know is dumb because of what I do but, god it's fucking neat.
07:46:04 ER: like, you can't be without a be to place to be
07:46:42 MidJag: It's like smart and has goals but not in the way that people actually think or in any real way.
07:47:05 Devastator: Isn't evolution just four billion years of 'if it works, go with it!'
07:47:38 ER: more like four billion years of things which exist existing, and things which make more things making more things
07:47:42 MidJag: Pretty much, but it's just kinda cool how it's constantly reacting with itself
07:47:44 syv: Yeah evolution strikes me as really intuitive
07:48:12 Devastator: speaking of spess..
07:48:19 Devastator: we getting that fight in suloy?
07:50:31 MidJag: To me what's cool is where you have incrediblly messy solutions in evolution that actually work incrediblly well. Like bones are breakable, but they are also incredibly light and strong for their weight and make you much more energy efficent then if you had a different material.
07:51:19 ER: eh just make em out of steel, it'll be great
07:51:21 syv: And also solutions that have annoying stupid problems, like our eyes going bad.
07:51:48 Devastator: food tube is air tube.
07:52:29 MidJag: Yup and the reason is stupid because you just had a tube and it was way easier to just keep using the same tube
07:52:58 Devastator: although the epiglottis is really amazing.
07:53:31 syv: Oh god, the most fantastically insane things evolution comes up with are related to reproduction. Like fucking menstruation.
07:53:46 ER: well, not enough tubes got clogged and started rotting for them to die all the way out, and none of the tubes ever got extra tubes sticking out of them
07:54:20 Devastator: I dunno, I'd say the immune system is insane.
07:55:01 MidJag: Yeah, the immune system is just like hey, kill everthing that isn't me. and also sometimes things are me but altered.
07:55:05 syv: Nobody understands the immune system
07:55:19 MidJag: Also sometimes kill me when I get too old of cells
07:55:33 Devastator: oh, and lets spin off tons of mutant bits just to be ready for anything. Just kill the ones that kill too much me.
07:55:35 ER: actually just kill everything lol
07:56:48 syv: We actually do have separate holes for breathing and eating. One's just redundant with the other.
07:57:00 syv: Technically both are redundant if you hate yourself, I guess.
07:57:33 ER: PUT THE CHEMICALS INTO THE ORGANISM
07:58:16 MidJag: Well I should go to bed and get ready for another day of waiting for fucking godot, I mean materials
07:58:17 syv: But we have two sets of tubes that join at the top, and two holes for inserting things into those tubes.
07:58:35 syv: That's not far off from having one tube hooked to each hole.
07:59:21 ER: just cover everything in all the sensors
07:59:27 Devastator: human bodies are like really good.
07:59:38 syv: Anything alive is really good.
07:59:41 Devastator: there are issues, but humans are not badly designed creatures.
07:59:46 Devastator: well, except seahorses.
08:00:00 Devastator: sea snakes do fine.
08:00:08 syv: ...What's the horror of seahorses?
08:00:14 Devastator: they're fish, but they can't swim.
08:00:26 MidJag: They are really good at hiding though
08:00:43 Devastator: yeah, but if you want that, go all the way and do the barnacle thing.
08:01:23 Devastator: with seahorses they could swim, if their fins were a bit different.
08:01:26 Devastator: it's like really dumb.
08:02:20 syv: They're distributed across the entire planet's coastlines, so I find it hard to agree.
08:02:39 syv: They clearly don't need to swim.
08:03:01 ER: none of these shitty organisms even got out of earth's gravity well
08:03:38 syv: Mostly because we cheated and developed oversized brains capable of abstract thought.
08:04:01 ER: we send like, a dozen organisms to luna
08:04:15 ER: out of all of the history of life
08:04:30 ER: didn't even bother staying there and you know why
08:04:39 ER: becuase we wouldn't be able to survive there
08:06:26 ER: I mean, organisms are cool and all but not really viable
08:06:55 ER: you'll rarely see one happen, and while they can make more organisms they become not-organisms really really easily
08:07:08 ER: much better odds to be a rock, or maybe an ocean
08:07:27 ER: rocks come about all the time from star stuff, and they stay rocks a long time
08:07:44 ER: they don't need to make more rocks, they already outnumber us
08:07:47 syv: One of the definitions google gives for "organism" is "the material structure of an individual life form"
08:08:04 syv: I can't decide whether that means a dead body is an organism or not.
08:08:22 Devastator: well, it's the body.
08:08:27 Devastator: but is it a life form if it's dead?
08:08:29 ER: dead bodies also become not dead bodies very quickly
08:09:07 syv: Well, it's the same material structure, and it's still linked to said life form, even if the life no longer exists.
08:09:43 syv: We'd say "syv's dead body", even if
syv is no longer an extant thing
08:10:24 ER: which will, quite quickly, become some water and other stuff
08:10:31 Devastator: well, except me, who would say 'siv's dead body' and not '
syv's'
08:10:53 ER: may as well just call it a bag of dirty water right away
08:12:19 ER: I think I got that from schlock
08:12:20 syv: It's more like a foam of dirty water
08:12:29 syv: Or maybe a bag of dirty water foam.
08:13:00 ER: HK calls organisms meatbags, shclock said bags of no longer potable water when someone said he was basically made of sand
08:13:18 Devastator: although schock can eat people.
08:13:25 Devastator: so they'd still be potable.
08:13:37 syv: Well, he's using the human definition.
08:14:00 syv: Shlock seems willing to eat a lot of things we don't consider potable. He might consider it to mean "flavorful" or "cheap".
08:15:13 ER: he likes to eat things which try to eat him back. for the fizzy feeling.
