04:29:47 <Puyopuyo> It goes indeed.
04:29:53 <Puyopuyo> How was Japan, Jenn?
04:30:04 <gadgetgrl> good!

04:34:04 <gadgetgrl> sam, highly delayed, but for future purpose, if it's a game related job (or comic) and she wants to fill out her resume, there are definitely ways to word it to demonstrate more leadership than larping persay
04:34:34 <gadgetgrl> things to mention would be how many people were in the larps, and tasks that were required that would show leadership
04:35:15 <Puyopuyo> I realize. Just seeking advice in HOW to word it.
04:35:19 <Puyopuyo> But thanks.
04:35:41 <Pipian> I'd try to avoid using larping as proof of leadership qualities unless you really knew the culture of the target audience :v
04:35:53 <Pipian> But that's just me (and since it's not an issue for me welp)
04:36:12 <Puyopuyo> I would too.
04:36:32 <Puyopuyo> But we're just grasping for anything that might look good, and then culling away the stuff that just doesn't work.
04:36:50 <Puyopuyo> Though...that's not really an issue at the moment, as we're stuck in Georgia.
04:37:29 <Puyopuyo> *sigh*
04:37:41 <Puyopuyo> Oh Jenn, you missed possibly the most disappointing E3 in several years!
04:38:05 <gadgetgrl> georgia? o.O
04:38:23 <gadgetgrl> well, if either of you want wording advise later, let me know
04:38:32 <Pipian> Flying from somewhere
04:38:35 <Pipian> eh?
04:38:42 <Puyopuyo> Sure thing.
04:38:47 <gadgetgrl> i agree it's audience, but most gaming/comic cultures are okay with it, if you present it right
04:38:49 <gadgetgrl> ah
04:38:57 <Puyopuyo> Oh right, people finally got back.
04:39:01 <gadgetgrl> did a connecting flight not work?
04:39:01 <Pipian> ^ Yeah, that's what I suspected
04:39:03 <Puyopuyo> So Emily's mother passed away on Sunday.
04:39:06 <gadgetgrl> oh :/
04:39:12 <gadgetgrl> i'm sorry to hear that
04:39:13 <Pipian> The whole "well a gaming culture thing"
04:39:23 <Pipian> Would tend to make it more acceptable
04:39:38 <Pipian> Ah that is unfortunate
04:39:38 <gadgetgrl> i hope emily is doing okay
04:39:52 <Pipian> Give her my condolences
04:39:59 <Puyopuyo> Her..."attendant" made the will out to herself, so now there's a contested will issue going on as well.
04:40:20 <gadgetgrl> gah :/
04:40:21 <Pipian> Then doubly so
04:40:42 <Puyopuyo> Emily did NOT know her mother was even ill. She was not told. And she only found out because she was told by the attendant ten minutes after time of death occurred.
04:40:43 <gadgetgrl> so sorry 
04:40:50 <gadgetgrl> wow o.o
04:40:57 <Puyopuyo> Additionally, her mother was cremated 2 hours after time of death occurred, before Emily had a chance to do anything.
04:41:05 <gadgetgrl> jeez
04:41:09 <Pipian> I'd say that that's pretty good grounds for some malpractice.
04:41:12 <Puyopuyo> And the attendant is using the ashes as legal leverage.
04:41:19 <Pipian> Hell, it might be pretty solid to justify pro-bono work
04:41:24 <Puyopuyo> So yes. Stuck in Georgia.
04:41:27 <Pipian> So there's that
04:41:30 <gadgetgrl> ah
04:41:42 <Pipian> Because that's pretty deplorable practice
04:41:42 <Puyopuyo> Have a decent lawyer, building up information and evidence, but I'm here for moral support, and it's been rough.
04:41:49 <gadgetgrl> wow, that's a shitty way to find out and have to deal with things
04:41:53 <Puyopuyo> Yup.
04:41:54 <gadgetgrl> yeah
04:43:01 <Puyopuyo> This past week's been...well, unpleasant. And so while Georgia is pretty nice, (staying at her father's Georgia house, which is a 5 minute drive away from her mother's place) I would dearly love to get back home.
04:43:10 <gadgetgrl> if she ever wants to talk later, she can feel free to poke me
04:43:16 <Puyopuyo> I'll let her know.
04:43:32 <Puyopuyo> She's had a nice outpouring of support from everyone who knows her, and it's very appreciated. Thank you.
04:43:37 <gadgetgrl> that's good
04:43:48 <Puyopuyo> But this legal bullshit is just...ugh.
04:43:53 <gadgetgrl> yes, yes it is
04:44:13 <Pipian> It's like the proverbial frothy santorum icing on a shit cake
04:44:30 <Pipian> The proverb in question being one I just made up right now
04:44:33 <gadgetgrl> i'm currently waiting for that to happen when something happens to my grandmother...not looking forward to that, but not much that can be done either...legal things with death suck
04:44:56 <Puyopuyo> Yeah, but I'd hope that you don't end up with someone trying to con family out of stuff.
04:45:16 <gadgetgrl> true
04:45:37 <gadgetgrl> though i would hope it would be a little bit better chance since it's not family at least
04:45:42 <gadgetgrl> i'd hope so in court at least
04:46:03 <Puyopuyo> Well, Emily's the only heir. This would be simpler if there were no will in the first place.
04:46:09 <gadgetgrl> yeah
04:46:42 <Puyopuyo> Opposed to a will drafted by the attendant. *sigh* It just sucks.
04:46:49 <gadgetgrl> yeah
04:47:38 <Pipian> Just hope the attendant doesn't have political connections :-|
04:47:57 <Puyopuyo> Not something I'm particularly worried about.
04:47:57 <Pipian> Local corruption is always fun
04:48:48 <Pipian> But Odds of that are low
04:48:49 <Puyopuyo> Emily's father and step-mother are pretty politically connected, locally.
04:49:06 <Puyopuyo> So I'm really not too worried.
04:49:17 <Pipian> That'll help a lot I'm sure
04:49:51 <Puyopuyo> In all likelihood, unless some really problematic information comes up, Emily will probably win the case. But it'll take months.
04:50:01 <Pipian> Yeah, that's the fucked part.
04:50:27 <Pipian> whoo 15 hours of Wagner is up next on my to-listen-and-rate list o_o
04:52:09 <Puyopuyo> Oh, Ian, mind no-botting the Cochineal chat?
04:52:20 <Puyopuyo> Er, no "web crawling"?
04:52:26 <Pipian> yeh gimme sec
04:52:28 <Puyopuyo> ...and that's a lot of hours.
04:52:43 <Puyopuyo> Ring Cycle's about that, isn't it? Or longer?
04:52:54 <Pipian> Should already be no botted
04:52:56 <Pipian> Is it not?
04:53:09 <Puyopuyo> Found two links on google.
04:53:14 <Pipian> And that's exactly what's on the agenda :v
04:53:39 <Pipian> Got the entire Ring Cycle vote dirt cheap, about 35 or so
04:53:49 <Puyopuyo> This page, for some reason shows up on Google: http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2012-06-09.html#T4-30-7
04:54:11 <Puyopuyo> Otherwise, looks like it's no botted.
04:54:42 <Pipian> That's really weard
04:54:47 <Pipian> *weird
04:55:09 <Puyopuyo> Googling "Nathanbp" is always fun.
04:55:15 <Pipian> http://www.pipian.com/robots.txt
04:55:18 <Pipian> Because here's robots.txt
04:56:07 <Puyopuyo> Oh, Jenn-re, there was a good tweet by Brenda Brathwaite about how bad E3's gotten, "booth babe"-wise.
04:56:15 <Puyopuyo> Ian: ...huh. That IS really weird.
04:56:20 <Puyopuyo> Wonder if Google can be contacted about it.
04:56:40 <Pipian> I wonder if I'm not doing multiple items right?
04:57:14 <Pipian> Okay, let's try a single row version
04:57:19 <Pipian> Maybe there's some weirdness going on otherwise
04:58:01 <Pipian> Okay, we'll see what happens in a few days
04:58:07 <Pipian> I just condensed it
04:58:13 <gadgetgrl> oh? i caught some of her tweets, but none in particular that spotted that...i had really spotty e3 coverage this year
04:58:32 <Pipian> My understanding is that for some reason everyone liked UbiSoft (because gamers are fickle)
04:58:37 <Pipian> And everyone hated Microsoft
04:58:37 <Pipian> A
04:58:38 <Pipian> nd
04:58:40 <Pipian>  e
04:58:41 <Pipian> ve
04:58:41 <Pipian> r
04:58:42 <Pipian> And everything else was bleh
04:59:05 <Pipian> (To be fair, I think the correct interpretation is "Everyone disliked Microsoft because it was more for their stockholders than for gamers")
05:00:23 <Pipian> Anyway I don't give a shit :v
05:00:31 <Pipian> Because you all know why
05:00:48 <gadgetgrl> sounds about right for news
05:01:04 <gadgetgrl> i'll have to look what ubisoft revealed
05:01:29 <Pipian> My understanding is that everyone liked the fact that someone had a press conference with a genuinely new IP that looks fun to play
05:01:37 <Pipian> And UbiSoft was the only one who had one
05:02:58 <Pipian> P.S. Don't forget about Humble Bundle V
05:03:01 <Pipian> 5 more days on it
05:03:49 <Puyopuyo> <@Pipian> My understanding is that for some reason everyone liked UbiSoft (because gamers are fickle) | Ubisoft had great looking games.
05:03:54 <Puyopuyo> Their press conference...I could take it or leave it.
05:03:55 <Pipian> Well
05:03:59 <Pipian> The fickle thing I meant was
05:04:13 <Puyopuyo> But they really impressed this year, especially compared to the other companies.
05:04:22 <Pipian> "Who cares that they have always-online anti-piracy protection if they have good games!"
05:04:24 <Puyopuyo> And yes, Humble Bundle V is amazing. Easily the best Humble Bundle.
05:04:39 <Pipian> Gamers MO: Make a huge fuss about anti-piracy shit, continue to buy games
05:04:41 <Puyopuyo> That's a flaw with Ubisoft, not with their conference.
05:04:46 <Puyopuyo> And you're right.
05:04:49 <Puyopuyo> I don't buy PC Ubisoft games.
05:04:59 <Puyopuyo> Probably never will, because it's a damn stupid policy.
05:05:08 <gadgetgrl> i think i have the games in the bundle already...
05:05:20 <Puyopuyo> All of them? Aw.
05:05:41 <Pipian> I really should play my last few humble bundle games I bought
05:05:48 <Pipian> I have been slacking on the humble-bundle playing
05:05:55 <Pipian> But I did play Botanicula so :D
05:06:13 <nathanbp> there are people chatting in the chat!
05:06:30 <Pipian> I am glad they had the release thing for that too
05:06:46 <Pipian> Because they got more than they would have straight up I think!
05:06:50 <gadgetgrl> um...sound tracks are tempting tho
05:08:38 <nathanbp> Sam, why are you googling me? :P
05:09:32 <Puyopuyo> Easiest way to see if this channel's logs show up is to google the handles we use.
05:09:46 <Puyopuyo> And you use your handle for EVERYTHING.
05:09:49 <Puyopuyo> So it is amusing to google you.
05:10:02 <Pipian> I use my handle for half of everything :v
05:11:23 <nathanbp> most of the things on the first page of google for Nathanbp aren't me.
05:14:07 <nathanbp> Please express my condolences to Emily as well, Sam
05:17:51 <nathanbp> hmmm apparently I have no way to recover my yahoo ID
05:20:14 <nathanbp> really dropbox?
05:20:22 <nathanbp> You expect me to give you my real name?
05:22:29 <gadgetgrl> how are they going to check it?
05:22:53 <nathanbp> I'm offended that they even ask
05:23:14 <gadgetgrl> lol
05:23:56 <Puyopuyo> Heh
05:24:01 <Puyopuyo> Will do Nathan.
05:26:30 <nathanbp> Also, how is there no link to download google drive FROM THE GOOGLE DRIVE PAGE?
05:31:28 <nathanbp> Plan to get pictures to dropbox: upload to google drive on laptop, download to google drive on desktop, upload to dropbox from desktop.
05:33:23 <nathanbp> Basically the only google results for nathanbp that are me are wow stuff...
05:34:14 <Puyopuyo> Heh
05:39:54 <Pipian> Oh
05:39:56 <Pipian> So Sam
05:40:16 <Pipian> What is this I see about DC basically trolling Moore 
05:40:36 <Puyopuyo> What, W is for Watchmen Babies?
05:40:49 <Pipian> the prequel thing
05:41:07 <Puyopuyo> Yeah. Well, not much to say.
05:41:15 <Pipian> I should think it goes without saying
05:41:20 <Puyopuyo> Moore's contract stipulates that as long as DC is doing WAtchmen crap, they retain the rights.
05:41:39 <Pipian> But I figured I'd bring it up if you had any insights other than "they are doing it and waltzing on his grave"
05:41:41 <Puyopuyo> Moore, being a grumpy old man, is all "I don't agree with them exploiting what I've done for them", and DC is all "Fuck you man, money."
05:42:09 <Puyopuyo> There's not much to say. He knows what the contract is, DC needs money after New 52 had less than expected reactions..
05:42:18 <Puyopuyo> And nothing compares to how screwed Jack Kirby's family is.
05:45:37 <Pipian> I am disappointed I had to scale back my pre-Mumbai travel plans
05:45:51 <Pipian> But I was surprised by how popular train travel is there so
05:46:25 <Puyopuyo> Woo.
05:46:51 <Pipian> So no Mahabodhi or Golden Temple for me :v
05:47:19 <Pipian> Oh well, Taj Mahal is still on the list (as it should be if rumors of its sinking and potentially collapsing in only a matter of decades is true)
05:47:27 <Puyopuyo> Oh dear. Definitely do it!
05:49:08 <Pipian> I've booked my hotels and travel so I am :D
