00:23:02 <nathanbp> oh boy, more strongly worded blog posts defending racists being nominated for the Hugo awards
00:23:19 <Cassian> Oh boy
00:24:48 <nathanbp> At least now I know another of the authors I read is crazy (John C. Wright this time) >_>
00:25:30 <Cassian> I think I've seen his books in the library

00:27:04 <Cassian> I got a few paragrahs into the first one and want to barf at what this person is implying
00:29:50 <nathanbp> yeah....
00:31:51 <Cassian> Also using Card as an example maked them look like a bigger douchenozzle
00:31:56 <Cassian> *makes
00:32:16 <nathanbp> he's written some good books about humanity in the far future (Wright, that is)
00:36:20 <Cassian> Ah
01:37:03 <nathanbp> oh hey Mahouka came out, guess I don't have to watch Mushishi >_>
01:37:12 <Cassian> Haha <_<
01:37:21 <Cassian> Is Mahouka still pretty boring
01:40:57 <nathanbp> they hint at things sometimes that seem like they might be interesting..
02:01:44 <nathanbp> ugh blizzard outsourced blizzcon tickets this year
02:01:48 <nathanbp> and the system is terrible
02:07:46 <nathanbp> I got 4 tickets but none of my old guildmates did :(
02:11:00 <Cassian> :(
02:19:08 <nathanbp> hmm, they managed to pick up 4 more from stragglers (this system is terrible...)
02:19:27 <Cassian> Ugh
02:19:48 <nathanbp> instead of keeping everyone in line it kicked people out that were past some limit
02:20:06 <Cassian> Uggghhhh
02:20:12 <nathanbp> and then you had to spam refresh to buy the tickets that didn't get sold to people whose sessions timed out
02:20:20 <Cassian> Jeez
02:20:32 <nathanbp> good practice for PAX Prime...
02:20:46 <Cassian> Yep
02:31:22 <nathanbp> hey they actually managed to pick up some more tickets, now we're only 2 down (out of 12)
02:31:49 <Cassian> Yay
02:32:19 <nathanbp> ugh $200 for these tickets is ridiculous though :(
02:36:58 <nathanbp> Since it is Wednesday I was half expecting PAX Prime tickets to go on sale today too
02:37:14 <nathanbp> instead now they'll probably go on sale next Wednesday when I'm in a meeting all day >_<
02:42:49 <nathanbp> all anime should start with loud explosions so I can tell for sure my sound is set up correctly >_>
02:43:14 <Cassian> Lol

03:42:01 <nathanbp> Hey Sam
03:42:15 <nathanbp> Still no PAX Prime tickets -_-
03:42:15 <Cassian> Hi Sam
03:42:31 <nathanbp> and I'll be in an all day meeting next Wednesday when they are next likely to go on sale...
03:44:57 <Puyopuyo> We shall see how it goes.
03:47:16 <nathanbp> This book is so out of date, it features someone buying software in boxes! (It's set in 2002)
03:48:46 <Puyopuyo> Heh
04:10:55 <Cassian> HaCha subs
04:12:03 <nathanbp> oh boy
04:44:25 <Cassian> I didn't realize the Wheel of Time series was finished, opps
04:46:23 <nathanbp> The final book only came out last year
04:46:41 <nathanbp> Sanderson had to write 3 1000-page monsters to finish everything up
04:47:38 <Cassian> I didn't realize. I was confused how Sanderson had so many books coming out at once if he was still working on that <_<;
04:48:52 <nathanbp> He also writes really really really fast
04:49:05 <Cassian> True
04:49:39 <nathanbp> I'm not sure but I think some of that may have been stuff he had written or at least sketched out before being published though
04:49:51 <nathanbp> so he'll slow down a bit now...
04:50:04 <Cassian> Ah
04:56:22 <nathanbp> ...he's apparently working on 4 books right now according the tracker on his website
04:56:47 <Cassian> God damn
04:59:44 -!- Puyopuyo has left #Cochineal [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
05:00:22 <nathanbp> oh hey I hadn't noticed the existence of The Hope of Elantris
05:00:47 <Cassian> Lol
05:00:54 <nathanbp> although I should maybe reread the book before reading it...
05:01:11 <Cassian> Ebooks short stories are really annoying
05:01:18 <nathanbp> oh?
05:01:31 <Cassian> To keep track of I mean
05:02:35 <nathanbp> yeah...
05:02:41 <nathanbp> I don't really read many short stories at all
05:02:50 <Cassian> Same
05:04:10 * nathanbp finds another Sanderson book he didn't know about
05:04:16 <nathanbp> Legion
05:04:36 <Cassian> I was just reading about that one
05:04:39 <nathanbp> oh hmm, I think this one isn't a Cosmere story, interesting
05:05:49 <Cassian> Yah
05:07:02 <Cassian> *Yeah
05:08:37 <nathanbp> oh, hm: "Brandon was working on his thirteenth novel when Moshe Feder at Tor Books bought the sixth he had written."
05:09:01 <Cassian> God damn
05:10:28 <nathanbp> I'm not sure how strongly I'd recommend The Bloodline Feud, btw, Merchant Princes is my least favorite Stross series
05:10:39 <Cassian> Oh, okay
05:12:35 <nathanbp> I'm only rereading it because he's writing more and said he'd be talking about post-Snowden privacy implications in them
05:12:48 <Cassian> Ah
05:14:28 <nathanbp> I'd recommend Halting State (for Sci-fi) or The Fuller Memorandum (for urban fantasy/horror/spy series) by him instead
05:15:02 <Cassian> Ah, okay. I already have Halting State on my list
05:15:46 <nathanbp> Yeah, I'd recommend that first
05:15:56 <Cassian> K
05:16:36 <nathanbp> I'm off to sleep, 'night
