01:36:30 [Pipian]You know
01:36:39 [Pipian]I never heard how trivia ended up going.
01:37:39 [nathanbp]the DCC exploded
01:37:58 [nathanbp]in the middle of trivia
01:41:02 [nathanbp]mark has a policy of never attending scott's panels
01:41:13 [nathanbp]so I have no clue

02:06:29 [gadgetgrl]borders going under is surprising? they have a horrible store management idealogy
02:06:34 [gadgetgrl]like not being open in the evenings
02:09:29 [nathanbp]amazon.com?

03:05:11 [Puyopuyo]Blargh, less than two hours, and then nothing but fluid.
03:05:17 [Puyopuyo]Guess I better work on that homework.
04:08:16 [gadgetgrl]what are you going under for, if you don't mind me ask?
04:08:19 [gadgetgrl]asking*
04:09:09 [Puyopuyo]Colonoscopy.
04:09:35 [Puyopuyo]My GI system has something wrong with it, and my doctor doesn't know what! Soooo...the best procedure of them all.
04:09:36 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo sighs.
04:09:43 [Puyopuyo]I'm going to hate myself tomorrow.
04:09:47 [nathanbp]sounds fun :(
04:09:52 [gadgetgrl]blech x.x
04:10:08 [Puyopuyo]Blech indeed. Oh well.
04:10:16 [Puyopuyo]Hopefully it's nothing big and I'll be right as rain come Saturday.
04:10:43 [gadgetgrl]or at least the results aren't terrible
04:11:03 [gadgetgrl]i've heard it takes a bit to recover from some times
04:11:43 [Puyopuyo]I don't heal well.
04:11:56 [Puyopuyo]So again, hopefully I'll be right as rain come Saturday. I was planning on playing MvC3.
04:12:09 [gadgetgrl]good choice
04:12:17 [gadgetgrl]oh man, i need to practice that before gdc
04:12:26 [gadgetgrl]there's going ot be a tournament >.>
04:13:50 [Puyopuyo]PdP?
04:16:51 [gadgetgrl]nah...we have company buy in from MvC3
04:17:23 [Puyopuyo]...
04:17:38 [Puyopuyo]Okay, first of all, master the air combo.
04:17:51 [Puyopuyo]The free guage for slamming into the ground is NICE, but extra damage from the wall may be more useful.
04:17:56 [Puyopuyo]*gauge
04:18:07 [nathanbp]MvC3?
04:18:16 [Puyopuyo]Marvel Vs Capcom 3
04:18:35 [Puyopuyo]Comic book characters you don't care about vs Video game characters you don't care about!
04:23:11 [gadgetgrl]so i should look up the button sequences then
04:23:30 [gadgetgrl]and would be relatively okay then?
04:24:44 [Puyopuyo]Ehhh...you'll need lots of practice.
04:24:49 [Puyopuyo]Do you have a copy? >_>
04:25:09 [Puyopuyo]Button sequences are okay, but you really gotta try them out to get a feel for it.
04:25:26 [gadgetgrl]no...i don't play fighting games outside of casual/tournaments for fun
04:28:31 [Puyopuyo]...do you have a Gamefly account?
04:28:39 [Puyopuyo]Actually, all of those copies are probably already booked.
04:28:40 [Puyopuyo]Damn.
04:30:11 [gadgetgrl]obviously i'll just have to find a time to visit at some point in the next week
04:31:31 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo doesn't own a copy...
04:31:40 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo was going to a friend's house in Brooklyn on Saturday...
04:40:46 [gadgetgrl]ahhh
04:41:12 [gadgetgrl]i might have to make a trip to astoria next week in that case *another friend who owns it*
04:41:32 [gadgetgrl]or maybe i can bribe w/ food...
04:42:41 [Puyopuyo]...clearly we need to borrow a copy somehow.
04:47:19 [nathanbp]The Keroro people did not keep up their release rate :(
04:48:11 [nathanbp]they could have been done by april!
04:48:22 [Puyopuyo]Heh
04:50:43 [nathanbp]Still can't believe Kohler is trying to run Atlantis >_>
04:52:31 [Puyopuyo]After the last fiasco? Ha.
05:03:13 [Puyopuyo]Aaaand nothing but fluid.
05:24:07 [gadgetgrl]this is kohler we're talking about
05:24:17 [gadgetgrl]ps nathan, what's your opinion of bolt buses?
05:24:25 [gadgetgrl]it was suggested to me to look at the bolt bus for pax travel
05:24:30 [gadgetgrl]sam, any feedback?
05:25:24 [nathanbp]I am never taking a bus again in my life
05:29:05 [Puyopuyo]...not comfortable, but cheap.
05:29:39 [Puyopuyo]Bolt Bus is an all right company, and their bus ride is reasonable...but it has all the problems of being a bus.
05:30:04 [Puyopuyo]I will gladly pay 30 dollars more for the ability to relax on an Amtrak train than the pain in the ass that I've found bus rides to be.
05:30:27 [nathanbp]yeah I took the bus to Otakon one year and it was horrible
05:34:38 [Puyopuyo]If you're trying to unify a group, Jenn, it's not really feasible. If you're just trying to get to Boston solo, it's fine.
05:38:43 [gadgetgrl]gotcha
05:39:57 [Puyopuyo]I think Sean took the Bolt Bus, so you can ask him if you want additional info.
05:40:15 [Puyopuyo]I don't think it's a bad suggestion...but I think Nathan might try to piano wire himself if you try to get him to take it.
05:40:26 [nathanbp]Sam, is Sean going to PAX?
05:40:37 [Puyopuyo]No.
05:40:42 [Puyopuyo]He can't afford it.
05:40:47 [nathanbp]I'll just drive by myself instead
05:40:48 [nathanbp]:(
05:40:51 [Puyopuyo]I will not have my full adventuring party with me.
05:41:00 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo is sad about this.
05:41:20 [Puyopuyo](Yes, I consider the group of people I galavant with at conventions/expos "my adventuring party")

05:44:19 [Puyopuyo]I like how Mark barges in with anime.
05:44:30 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo ops him for it.
05:46:59 [nathanbp]what ep are you up to Mark?
05:47:19 [StriderTol]15
05:47:36 [nathanbp]wasn't 12 like the most amazing thing ever?
05:48:21 [StriderTol]ya. it couldn't of ended happly there
05:51:42 [gadgetgrl]i didn't say i'd take the bus for sure...i was just starting to look into it
05:51:47 [Pipian]Aside: I'd have taken Amtrak down myself except for the stupid Sunday prices *shakes fist*
05:52:13 [gadgetgrl]amtrak it is!
06:25:18 [AChes]-!- AChes has left #Cochineal [Quit: Quit: Soupy Twist]

14:30:44 [nathanbp]Longest anime name ever?: "Ani Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai"
14:30:49 [nathanbp]*Ano Hi

14:32:29 [Puyopuyo]Also, blargh, that means I have to plan an excursion down to your place to catch up on Keroro
14:35:56 [nathanbp]("We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day" I think...)
14:36:09 [nathanbp]Yes, it does >_>
14:36:15 [nathanbp]Spring anime guide: http://moetron.com/uploads/20110127_spring_guide.jpg
14:37:02 [nathanbp]hey this season it's a show about manga editors (as opposed to artists)
14:37:03 [Puyopuyo]Saw it, don't see anything that grabs my attention
14:37:24 [Puyopuyo]Soon it'll be a show about the producers. Wait, that already exists.
14:39:21 [nathanbp]"TV anime adaptation of Takara Tomy's 'Pretty Rhythm Miniskirt' arcade game." Really Japan!?
14:40:08 [nathanbp]Wow how could you say that Sam
14:40:17 [nathanbp]They're making a sequel to Chaos;Head
14:41:01 [Puyopuyo]They are indeed.
14:41:11 [Puyopuyo]The question is if there will be more hallucinations of eyes.
14:42:06 [nathanbp]Sono me....DARE NO ME?
14:42:47 [nathanbp]well I'm more optimistic about it than I was about this season
14:42:54 [nathanbp]although this season has turned out pretty well
14:47:53 [Puyopuyo]I think quality is inversely proportional to optimism to a point, after which there is nothing.
14:50:20 [nathanbp]either that or the less optimistic I am the more easily impressed I am by anything good?
14:51:21 [Puyopuyo]That is also possible.
14:59:43 [Pipian]No series that I haven't see before.
14:59:53 [Pipian](i.e. all look pretty crappy)

23:39:42 [Puyopuyo]magical modoka = what happens when magical girls, mix w/ .hack, gankutsou and bakamonogatari? <- Jenn, where's the .hack come in?
23:39:50 [Puyopuyo]The Bakemonogatari I can see because they're both shaft.
23:39:59 [Puyopuyo]And the Gankutsuou I can see because of the pattern art style...
23:40:31 [Puyopuyo]And Mark, that would depend on that program you're using.
23:40:43 [Puyopuyo]I mean, my lines look liek this: [02/17 18:36:54] http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-17.html#T23-36-51
23:40:47 [Puyopuyo]*like
23:46:01 [nathanbp|work]I think Madoka Magica is more like what happens when you give Shinbo a list of Magical Girl Tropes and tell him to make a Magical Girl with none of them
23:46:28 [Puyopuyo]I think it's what happens when you make him watch Baoh and Nanoha at the same time.
23:47:52 [nathanbp|work]haha
