| 01:46:32 [nathanbp] | noooo alex logged off |
| 01:46:43 [nathanbp] | now who am I going to play portal 2 with? |
| 02:06:51 [gadgetgrl] | fedex failed to buzz |
| 02:07:10 [gadgetgrl] | otherwise it would be a different story |
| 02:07:19 [gadgetgrl] | *shakes fist at fedex* |
| 02:12:05 [nathanbp] | you didn't get it from steam? |
| 02:12:19 [gadgetgrl] | i did...remember, headsets :/ |
| 02:12:35 [nathanbp] | oh, right |
| 02:13:08 [nathanbp] | you can use the built in gestures while I attempt to tell you what to do, clearly >_> |
| 02:13:13 [gadgetgrl] | lol |
| 02:13:15 [gadgetgrl] | totally |
| 02:13:27 [gadgetgrl] | i could dig up my ghetto old mic that i had in high school as well |
| 02:13:30 [gadgetgrl] | but i feel that's a bad idea |
| 02:14:21 [nathanbp] | speakerphone? |
| 02:14:35 [gadgetgrl] | eh, true |
| 02:14:40 [gadgetgrl] | or laptop w/ skype |

| 02:52:07 [Pipian] | Hah |
| 02:52:15 [Pipian] | Was not expecting to find something worth showing at Secret Arda |
| 02:52:28 [Pipian] | When my friend links me to a random video |
| 02:52:59 [Pipian] | Surprising fact: YOU might not have even seen this, Sam. |
| 02:53:09 [Pipian] | Although, as usual, I would not be surprised if I was wrong. |
| 02:54:21 [Puyopuyo] | It would depend on the video |
| 02:54:35 [Puyopuyo] | Also, Ian, gimme you Pokemon.com username and password. |
| 02:54:39 [Puyopuyo] | I'll go win you that Espeon. |
| 02:54:43 [Puyopuyo] | *your |
| 02:55:30 [Pipian] | I got the Espeon already |
| 02:55:57 [Puyopuyo] | Oh. |
| 02:56:00 [Pipian] | I was just bitching about how irritating that game was to get the right poke. |
| 02:56:03 [Puyopuyo] | Ah. |
| 02:56:08 [Pipian] | I was lucky that Espeon was the first non- |
| 02:56:09 [Pipian] | Jolteon |
| 02:56:20 [Puyopuyo] | I got Leafeon without too many tries. And I never beat it without getting the right one. |
| 02:56:42 [Pipian] | Anyway |
| 02:56:49 [Pipian] | I am trying to tell everyone I know to play the game |
| 02:57:01 [Pipian] | To increase the odds of at least ONE person getting a female |
| 02:57:30 [Puyopuyo] | I'm pretty sure that's impossible. |
| 02:57:52 [Pipian] | Why |
| 02:57:53 [Puyopuyo] | They're all sent out as males. |
| 02:57:56 [Pipian] | Is that the case? |
| 02:58:08 [Puyopuyo] | Pretty sure. Otherwise there would exist a female Japanese Eevee. |
| 02:58:09 [Pipian] | That's irritating |
| 02:58:24 [Pipian] | Or they could just be obnoxiously rare. |
| 02:58:29 [Puyopuyo] | It's why they hacked all of the DW ability Pokemon and there's a flourishing trade. |
| 02:58:29 [Pipian] | Considering that it's 1/8 normally |
| 02:58:32 [Pipian] | And hot commodity |
| 02:58:42 [Puyopuyo] | Ian, it should in theory be RNG-able. |
| 02:59:03 [Pipian] | Right, at least in theory. |
| 02:59:06 [Puyopuyo] | I'm pretty sure that no matter what RNG manipulation you perform, it'll be a female. |
| 02:59:10 [Puyopuyo] | Er, not be a female. |
| 02:59:24 [Pipian] | Maybe |
| 02:59:38 [Pipian] | I'm not sure where the RNG comes into play considering that the gender is reported on the server rather than client |
| 03:00:12 [Pipian] | So I unno |
| 03:00:15 [Pipian] | Maybe it's not possible |
| 03:00:22 [Pipian] | But may as well encourage everyone to do it anyway |
| 03:00:26 [Puyopuyo] | Pretty sure it's not. It's annoying, but oh well. |
| 03:00:27 [Puyopuyo] | Indeed. |
| 03:00:36 [Puyopuyo] | Though there are mostly just going to be a ton of Espeon and Vaporeon. |
| 03:00:54 [Pipian] | In the actual battling community? Of course. |
| 03:01:00 [Puyopuyo] | Though if I wanted to be a jerk, I could get my Leafeon cloned off a bunch of times and use that as fodder. |
| 03:01:05 [Pipian] | Overall, I'd be less sure |
| 03:01:18 [Pipian] | There are a lot of people who aren't metagamers |
| 03:01:21 [Puyopuyo] | As there'll be someone who wants to get all of them. |
| 03:01:23 [Puyopuyo] | It's true. |
| 03:01:33 [Puyopuyo] | But there are a lot of people who think the solution to everything is AR. |
| 03:01:38 [Puyopuyo] | ...which is annoying, but there you go. |
| 03:01:44 [Pipian] | (That said, Espeon's ability IS pretty neat.) |
| 03:02:32 [Puyopuyo] | (Ridiculously.) |
| 03:02:49 [Pipian] | (Too bad I bet I'll get a crappy roll of the IVs) |
| 03:03:07 [Pipian] | Also |
| 03:03:45 [Pipian] | On a completely different point, I did not realize they nuked Baton Pass + Mean Look. |
| 03:04:27 [Pipian] | (I only realized this when I tried my Baton Pass + Mean Looker on catching the runner in Black) |
| 03:04:32 [Pipian] | (And it ran) |
| 03:05:46 [Puyopuyo] | ....THEY DID? |
| 03:07:07 [Pipian] | Yep. |
| 03:07:12 [Pipian] | Baton Pass no longer passes Mean Look. |
| 03:07:17 [Puyopuyo] | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| 03:07:19 [Pipian] | Because they wanted to nuke that part of the metagame |
| 03:07:38 [Puyopuyo] | Well, it's dead then. |
| 03:07:45 [Puyopuyo] | Shadow Tag is also highly questionable now. |
| 03:07:50 [Puyopuyo] | As NOTHING good has it. |
| 03:08:18 [Puyopuyo] | Wobbuffet has lost his advantage due to the high power attacks and weakened encore. |
| 03:08:20 [Pipian] | Being all of Wobbuffet, so |
| 03:08:39 [Puyopuyo] | Well, Chandeleur's hidden ability is Shadow Tag. |
| 03:08:51 [Pipian] | 5th Gen Pokes don't really have hidden abilities |
| 03:09:14 [Pipian] | But I guess if they actually bother to distribute them ??? |
| 03:12:13 [Puyopuyo] | Yeah |
| 03:15:50 [Pipian] | That actually passes best runner-catcher status to Gallade |
| 03:16:25 [Pipian] | Since it's the only poke with False Swipe, Hypnosis, and Mean Look |
| 03:26:15 [Puyopuyo] | SMEARGLE |
| 03:26:20 [Pipian] | hahahahaha |
| 03:26:22 [Pipian] | yeah |
| 03:26:23 [Puyopuyo] | Mean Look, False Swipe, SPORE |
| 03:26:45 [Pipian] | with Attack 20 |
| 03:28:02 [Pipian] | Haha |
| 03:28:04 [Pipian] | Wow |
| 03:28:07 [Pipian] | I love this |
| 03:28:21 [Pipian] | "Sunkern has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total" |
| 03:28:41 [Pipian] | I hope you see the irony that the programmers went with when deciding that |
| 03:34:47 [Puyopuyo] | Heh |

| 16:13:53 [Pipian] | too much work |
| 16:16:33 [Puyopuyo] | No dying! It has been called. |
| 16:22:02 [Pipian] | Currently having to do massive revising of a paper because the person who rewrote it from scratch doesn't have particularly good English grammar skills :-/ |
| 16:26:01 [gadgetgrl] | :/ |
| 16:27:23 [nathanbp|work] | wow Voyager 2 has a twitter feed: http://twitter.com/#!/Voyager2 |
| 16:27:24 [Sacchi] | |
| 16:29:04 [gadgetgrl] | it doesn't make it right, but come to think of it, that's probably why one of my profs grades international students so much harder |
| 16:29:15 [gadgetgrl] | bias left over from her mit days |
| 16:29:19 [Pipian] | This is a paper for a conference |
| 16:29:20 [Pipian] | soooo |
| 16:29:43 [Pipian] | It's just something that needs to be done for readability sake |
| 16:29:45 [Pipian] | :-| |
| 16:32:14 [gadgetgrl] | right, but i bet she had to do that often |
