Kitty Vertigo: meow?
CrossedReality: meow
CrossedReality: Zen should be here in a moment
CrossedReality: isn't tonight group feature night? :D
CrossedReality: did you ever think of a topic?
*** ZenZagg has joined the chat.
Kitty Vertigo: jno'['][
CrossedReality: drat
CrossedReality: well, we need a topic for the group feature.
ZenZagg: indeed
CrossedReality: hmm
CrossedReality: Kenny, toss out an idea.
Kitty Vertigo: my butt hurts
ZenZagg: rectal pain eh?
CrossedReality: okay...we're not talking about his ass...Zen, you go! :)
Kitty Vertigo: i've been sitting on it all day in front of my computer
ZenZagg: I'm currently looking online for obscure and buyable gadgetry
ZenZagg: like a Nixie clock
CrossedReality: well, what can we all talk about?
CrossedReality: Gaming is about the only thing I can think of that we all have in common.
ZenZagg: heh
ZenZagg: trying to decide what game to break my dad into LAN gaming with
CrossedReality: lol
ZenZagg: I know if I do anything I'm good at he will not have fun
CrossedReality: Alpha Centauri is the only game I've played on a LAN and been entertained.
ZenZagg: btw: http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~wwl/nixiegallery.html these are nixie tube clocks...I want one...
CrossedReality: Of course, we're on 4 megabit cable, so we'd be LPB's wherever we go anyway.
CrossedReality: And you want one of those, why?
ZenZagg: you wouldnt understand :D
CrossedReality: Yeah, I like useful things :P
Kitty Vertigo: dude... that thing is COOL
ZenZagg: see?
ZenZagg: :P
ZenZagg: 60's era gadgetry rules
CrossedReality: It does fewer things than the clock I have sitting on top of my stereo!
Kitty Vertigo: damnit i did it again
CrossedReality: Then again, I do have a thing for those depression-era radios converted to FM.
Kitty Vertigo: i closed the browser when i wanted to go back
ZenZagg: it has almost the same attraction as a modern-day tube computer
CrossedReality: Zen, you're pretty limited in what you can introduce your dad to LAN gaming with.
ZenZagg: not really
CrossedReality: Since neither of you are very genre open.
Kitty Vertigo: barbie lan tea party
ZenZagg: I have racing games, a few action games, few adventure games, some strategys
Kitty Vertigo: quake his ass
CrossedReality: Racing and action are your only choices...what the hell strategy games to do own, anyway? :)
ZenZagg: I'll play most anything, once I get into a game outside my usual genre (like baldurs gate, Deus Ex, or other RPG-like things) I get sucked in and never want to leave until its finished
Kitty Vertigo: strategy is not a good intro to lan, cause its slow
ZenZagg: yea
CrossedReality: Deus Ex isn't really outside your genres.
CrossedReality: Strategy is the BEST thing to play over a LAN.
CrossedReality: Alpha Centauri/Civ 2 (hopefully Civ 3 soon) are the best LAN games ever.
Kitty Vertigo: i agree, but its not a good introduction
CrossedReality: Zen, did you ever beat Baldur's Gate II?
ZenZagg: I have CivIII (that game will be fun when I learn it), Gunlok, uhm...what else
CrossedReality: lol
Kitty Vertigo: starcraft was cool
CrossedReality: I hope you know I have that quote of yours saved somewhere, from when I gave you Civ 3 :)
ZenZagg: haha, ever since I found that 24 million gold glitch, it just hasnt been as much fun
CrossedReality: "I have no fucking clue what I'm doing." or something along those lines.
CrossedReality: In my head, I was just hoping you had at least founded your city...but I wasn't sure...
Kitty Vertigo: *despises civ*
CrossedReality: Starcraft...we played that using two dialup modems at your house when it came out, Kenny.
CrossedReality: How can you hate Civilization games?
Kitty Vertigo: i've never played them :-D
CrossedReality: Ah...but you don't hate the Resident Evil games, and you've never played them either.
Kitty Vertigo: actually i played the first one for like 20 minutes
CrossedReality: When did you do that?
Kitty Vertigo: a long time ago
Kitty Vertigo: but my friend took it back
CrossedReality: I just did "Graeme's Comparison Theatre" for Zen yesterday with the RE games.
Kitty Vertigo: ?
CrossedReality: First we see the Remake...then we see the original...you can taste the cheese :D
CrossedReality: Still a great game, but, man...
Kitty Vertigo: *watches data scroll on his desktop*
Kitty Vertigo: i *THINK* its doing something good
CrossedReality: What are you attempting to do?
Kitty Vertigo: im doing something with the kernel
Kitty Vertigo: it told me to type "make dep" so i did
CrossedReality: ...have we started the group feature yet? And where the hell did Travis go?
Kitty Vertigo: idunno
Kitty Vertigo: oh CRAP
Kitty Vertigo: that was an old dr pepper
CrossedReality: he doesn't come when beeped...you'd think he'd have more etiquette, the poor uneducated boy.
Kitty Vertigo: boy?
CrossedReality: Are you implying something? :)
Kitty Vertigo: *wonders how long 38MB of code takes to compile*
ZenZagg: heh
ZenZagg: just came back from reconfiguring dads comp...ugh
Kitty Vertigo: no.. it just seemed like a... uhm.. degrading reference
CrossedReality: You had to reconfigure it again?
ZenZagg: poor uneducated boy?
CrossedReality: Yes, uneducated in the ways of proper society.
ZenZagg: I was using my education Mr. Assume-a-lot
CrossedReality: You excuse yourself when you leave.
ZenZagg: Yes massa
Kitty Vertigo: whats an error2?
CrossedReality: ...I have no idea.
ZenZagg: error2 was a test nickname I had for an AIM bot once...
Kitty Vertigo: lol
CrossedReality: lol, yeah, I remember that.
Kitty Vertigo: i dont
CrossedReality: less personality than "TwItCh" or however you spelled it.
I don't think we talked to you all that often then...you switched from Ducktape Martian to Kitty Vertigo without much warning.
Kitty Vertigo: oh yeah
Kitty Vertigo: my bad
Kitty Vertigo: ;)
ZenZagg: TwiTcH had scripting capabilities
CrossedReality: Oh, you (plural) have seen today's Penny Arcade, right? They mentioned Crawdads!
ZenZagg: I didnt feel like wiring out AI in vb, I wanted to test the connection
CrossedReality: Apparently those things are exotic to the people in Washington :)
CrossedReality: Have you ever actually eaten one?
ZenZagg: I have crawdad flavored ptotato chips on my bed
ZenZagg: how coincidental
CrossedReality: hehe
CrossedReality: I caught one when I was kid by accident. It attacked my hand.
ZenZagg: Zapp's Spicy Cajun CRAWTATORS(tm)
CrossedReality: Didn't hurt, but the damned thing wouldn't let go.
CrossedReality: oh, Square bought Quest.
CrossedReality: Crawtators...burn them!!
CrossedReality: Some things should not be made.
ZenZagg: they taste fairly good actually
CrossedReality: That's not the point.
ZenZagg: got them at a cajun restaurant in town center
CrossedReality: Although I doubt they taste a damn thing like crawdads :P
ZenZagg: they dont
ZenZagg: still good
CrossedReality: I'm still trying to figure out where "BBQ" flavour comes from on chips.
Kitty Vertigo: im hungry
ZenZagg: so, are we going to post this chat as a feature or something?
Kitty Vertigo: uhm... no ;)
CrossedReality: We might as well
Kitty Vertigo: yeah
CrossedReality: Although it'd be nice if we could somehow manage to turn this into, you know, something.
Kitty Vertigo: what? random chat isnt good enough for you?
CrossedReality: If we could think of a topic...I know you guys would kill me if I suggested world politics :)
ZenZagg: hoy
CrossedReality: Well jesus christ I've got over 200mb of random chat logs I could post :D
ZenZagg: *mass unsubscribe*
Kitty Vertigo: but this is special
CrossedReality: I should post the chat of the time you were cleaning your room.
CrossedReality: That was interesting.
ZenZagg: already have a related feature
CrossedReality: Or our many attempts at getting Linux to work...
ZenZagg: heh
CrossedReality: Yeah, but the feature didn't do his pained typing justice, did it? :)
CrossedReality: ...I wonder what would happen if you consumed oxyclean.
Kitty Vertigo: im STILL trying to get linux to work
Kitty Vertigo: you wouldnt have to BREATH!!
CrossedReality: because you'd have no LUNGS!!
Kitty Vertigo: right
Kitty Vertigo: or any other internal organs
Kitty Vertigo: i wonder if that stuff would blow up if set on fire
CrossedReality: it'd burn for sure, explode, I dunno.
CrossedReality: Wouldn't having gills be neat?
ZenZagg: heh
ZenZagg: don't even f**king go there
ZenZagg: *waterworld flashbacks*
Kitty Vertigo: lol
* CrossedReality wonders why Zen censored himself
* CrossedReality also beats windows media player to death...codec my ass
* ZenZagg explains: Because every once in a while you need variation, remember the bleep sequence we did for those Jayde rants?
Kitty Vertigo: ?
CrossedReality: it just looks strange
CrossedReality: damnit, that one has no audio *redownloads*
ZenZagg: f**k the f**king f**kers.
CrossedReality: urge to kill...
Kitty Vertigo: HAH
Kitty Vertigo: it took me a few DAYS to find a media player that would play sound on my neon genesis files
ZenZagg: urge to kill what?
CrossedReality: You.
CrossedReality: This is just a bad file, I think.
ZenZagg: does my censorship offend thine non-virgin ears?
Kitty Vertigo: FUCK
ZenZagg: there you go
Kitty Vertigo: :-D
ZenZagg: :P
CrossedReality: 818 is giving me the most problems..downloaded it three times already. Two were humourously renamed porn files, this one has no audio...all the rest have been perfect. Time to try a third type.
Kitty Vertigo: what are you downloading?
* ZenZagg pokes Graeme with the animosity stick
* ZenZagg shields up
Kitty Vertigo: *sheilds*
Kitty Vertigo: MUA
CrossedReality: The entire 8th season of a certain TV show that I'm not going to mention :)
Kitty Vertigo: oh
CrossedReality: It's not piracy, because I still watch it whenever it comes on anyway...so, they've lost approximately 0% business.
Kitty Vertigo: *still waiting for kernel to compile*
CrossedReality: still?
ZenZagg: *Zen sense tingles*
Kitty Vertigo: yeah
Kitty Vertigo: *throws innocent shield penetrable kitties to deactivated zen's shield*
ZenZagg: !!
Kitty Vertigo: NOW GREAME!!! DO IT
* ZenZagg shields up with kitties inside
* ZenZagg pets kitties
Kitty Vertigo: MY KITTIES!!!
CrossedReality: You fool! Those are man eaters!
* ZenZagg screams as kitties rear up and slash at anything resembling matter
* ZenZagg tries to escape shield
CrossedReality: Must you learn everything the hard way?
* ZenZagg 4541 cat scratches
* ZenZagg notices they now have a taste for blood
* ZenZagg reverses polarity of shield, shooting the hungry kitties right into Graeme
* ZenZagg shield resumes
* CrossedReality has Whitie.
* ZenZagg watches at kitties rend Graeme
* CrossedReality is not rended in the least.
ZenZagg: Graeme, whitie lives for the swarm
Kitty Vertigo: meow
CrossedReality: Actually, he murders the swarm when he's bored.
ZenZagg: youre no fun :P
Kitty Vertigo: *uses psychic kitty powers to control kitties*
CrossedReality: Have you ever noticed how much heat our modems generate?
* ZenZagg *shield holds in blood as cuts are healed*
Kitty Vertigo: modem?
CrossedReality: It's not really a frightening amount, but still more than you would expect.
ZenZagg: not really modems
ZenZagg: hehe
CrossedReality: Yes, our "modems"...
ZenZagg: more like fancy NIC cards
Kitty Vertigo: ooohhh.. "modem"
ZenZagg: I cant wait for gigabit ethernet
Kitty Vertigo: good thing mine is a floor up
ZenZagg: I saw cat6 cables at radioshack
CrossedReality: Isn't that already availible?
ZenZagg: not affordably
ZenZagg: or widespread
CrossedReality: and why are you waiting for it exactly? What do you need gigabit ethernet for?
ZenZagg: extreme LAN, and support for better broadband options in the coming future
ZenZagg: network file transfers are slow, even at 100mbps speeds
CrossedReality: Well, my "modem" supports up to 4 gigabit or so...I think I'm set :P
ZenZagg: megabit
CrossedReality: The only network I'm on is the one at work, and, well, I don't really care how fast it goes.
ZenZagg: the medium supports around that much
CrossedReality: No Zen, gigabit.
ZenZagg: thats a theoretical threshold
CrossedReality: That's the max the modem supports. The theoretical threshold is 40
ZenZagg: the cable company would have to invest a pretty penny to support that and maintain that
CrossedReality: Yep.
ZenZagg: unless its a viable business option, they wont
CrossedReality: It'd be cheaper just to run an OC-48 to my house....hmm....
ZenZagg: heh
Kitty Vertigo: *curls up*
ZenZagg: I want a Qwest OC-192 (9.6gbps)
CrossedReality: Yeah.
CrossedReality: I was attempting to be at least semi-practical :D
CrossedReality: Why are you curling up?
CrossedReality: Damnit, I'm hungry. When should we stop this?
Kitty Vertigo: im hungry too
Kitty Vertigo: (and i was curling up because im a cute little tired kitty)
CrossedReality: you're tired? It's like 10:30!
Kitty Vertigo: i know
Kitty Vertigo: i was woken up earlier today by my siblings making a mess in the basement
CrossedReality: Well then. I announce this feature at an end.
Kitty Vertigo: bye!
CrossedReality: It'll be commentary less.
CrossedReality: For awhile, at least.
Kitty Vertigo: we could have a guest comment maybe?
CrossedReality: hmm...I'll look into it.
CrossedReality: [The End]
