02:18:12 <Puyopuyo> Yes, the channel name is my fault.
02:18:30 <Puyopuyo> And Ian pretty much nailed my reasoning. It's bizarre and trivial.
02:18:42 <Puyopuyo> And Chescheir is right, I don't give a damn about RPI's RED.

02:19:21 <Pipian> Oh
02:19:24 <Pipian> When he said PRI
02:19:34 <Pipian> I thought he was talking about the Mexican political party
02:19:50 <Pipian> And assumed he must know something about Mexican political parties that I don't (their colors?)
02:20:32 <Puyopuyo> Ha. You've been at MIT too long.
02:21:12 <Puyopuyo> "so let me get this straight, Sam suggested the name Cochineal because it is red food coloring derived from insects? And only because its obscure trivia." <- Yes, because it's obscure trivia. And it's a lot more interesting than "#RPI_ALUM_SORTA_GAMING_I_DON'T_KNOW_WHY"
02:22:28 <Puyopuyo> Also, new Keroro ep for the win!
02:36:17 <gadgetgrl> oh man, we just had fire trucks lining the entire length of the street
02:36:26 <gadgetgrl> b/c of a large metal piece hanging from our roof apparently
02:36:41 <gadgetgrl> poor people above us...both apartments were broken into
02:36:45 <Puyopuyo> ...you're trying to summon Gozer?

02:38:07 <nathanbp> I need a 3rd monitor
02:38:15 <nathanbp> so I can chat and browse the web while playing wow
02:51:37 <Puyopuyo> What do you use the second monitor for?
02:52:17 <nathanbp> chat right now
02:53:14 <Puyopuyo> Ah
03:00:15 <gadgetgrl> i could use a monitor in general :p one day...when i have more space again
03:00:22 <gadgetgrl> my tv works decently so far
03:02:22 <nathanbp> this is why you shouldn't live in NYC?
03:03:26 * Puyopuyo lives in NYC
03:10:06 <gadgetgrl> the correct answer is Manhattan
03:10:34 <gadgetgrl> the awesomeness of the location needs to be negated by something i suppose
03:26:26 <Puyopuyo> ...Madoka Magica 6, what the FUCK.
03:26:54 <Puyopuyo> It's like your entire goal is to be creepy as hell.
03:29:17 <nathanbp> wow you just watched it?

03:40:40 <AChes> damn my typing
03:53:34 <AChes> on an unrelateed note, what are folks planning to do about bags on the morning of the 11th? just checking in before the expo?
03:53:34 <Puyopuyo> This one's for Ian: http://www.gamespite.net/toastywiki/index.php/Games/G612-FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles
03:53:50 <Puyopuyo> Probably dropping them off at the hotel until we can check in.
03:54:41 <AChes> figured it was something like that, the hotel is really close then?
03:54:48 <Puyopuyo> I mean, if all else fails, I'll take a quick trip back and huddle all the bags to my room, and <strikethrough>hold them hostage</strikethrough> hang onto them until everyone gets around.
03:54:52 <Puyopuyo> Within two blocks, I believe.
03:55:04 <Puyopuyo> Our goal with the hotel was location foremost, price a close second.
03:55:28 <gadgetgrl> the hotel is about 2 blocks
03:55:58 <AChes> sounds good
03:56:02 <gadgetgrl> so is madoka majika worth to keep watching? i've seen 1
03:56:12 <gadgetgrl> if you arrive first, i can also change the name on the room to reflect your name
03:56:19 <gadgetgrl> i'm still finalizing who's in each room
03:56:29 <nathanbp> Jenn: Yes.
03:56:31 <gadgetgrl> but will know before gdc or the week between
03:56:47 <gadgetgrl> okay...i'll add that to my watch list for this season tehn...
03:57:25 <AChes> that might be the thing to do I'm supposed to land in boston at 9:11
03:58:30 <Puyopuyo> Jenn: Let's put it this way.
03:58:37 <Puyopuyo> Episode 1: It's a light fluffy magical girl show.
03:58:40 <Puyopuyo> Episode 3: It's dark.
03:58:51 <Puyopuyo> Episode 6: OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK
03:59:00 <Puyopuyo> And only getting darker.
03:59:18 <gadgetgrl> interesitng
03:59:27 <gadgetgrl> okay...i'll let you know if i change it!
03:59:35 <gadgetgrl> i'll update everyone when things get closer
03:59:37 <Puyopuyo> There's a "Mistakes of Youth" on Madoka Magica. Nathan and I constantly back and forth quote it.
03:59:57 <Puyopuyo> I may take the 2 AM train, sleep on the train, and get there at 8, drop off stuff and go to my stupid 11 AM panel and then wander until check-in.
04:00:09 <Puyopuyo> But I have people I must tend to, so I am uncertain if that is my final plan.
04:00:20 <gadgetgrl> well, but you are your own group..so not as much count :)
04:00:35 <gadgetgrl> yeah, the people thing changes things a bit
04:00:43 <gadgetgrl> my friend kathy is coming with me from the city
04:00:58 <gadgetgrl> other friends are busing it...but i'd rather avoid that if possible
04:01:11 <Puyopuyo> Well, as we are still united under the banner of Cochineal, we CAN temp storage so we get the bags out of the lobby ASAP.
04:02:00 <gadgetgrl> temp storage?
04:03:20 <Puyopuyo> Hrm. Nevermind, I'd probably still need the person in the first place instead of just stocking everyone's bags in my room.
04:04:45 <gadgetgrl> i think i requested early check in
04:04:47 <gadgetgrl> we'll see
04:06:04 <gadgetgrl> this would mean noon at the earliest though
04:06:57 <Puyopuyo> That works for me.
04:07:08 <Puyopuyo> My panel gets out at noon.
04:17:28 <Puyopuyo> PAX East is officially out of 3-day passes.
04:23:37 <gadgetgrl> yup
04:26:28 <Pipian> Puyopuyo: I'm in Boston so w/e
04:27:31 <Pipian> You may factor that into your plans if you so desire
04:27:46 <Puyopuyo> It's true.
04:27:54 <Puyopuyo> I shall arrive at 8 AM and go "YO IAN WHY AREN'T YOU AWAKE?"
04:28:46 <Pipian> And I'll be all like
04:28:55 <Pipian> "what the fuck i was awake talking to jenn until 4am"
04:29:03 <Pipian> "shut up go away"
04:32:13 <Puyopuyo> "FINE!"
04:35:12 <gadgetgrl> lol
04:35:32 <gadgetgrl> or more like Fine! *slips bags in door while convo taking place*
04:36:15 <Pipian> *bags get swallowed by the mess that is my room and are never to be seen again*
04:38:09 <Puyopuyo> This is why I wouldn't slip them into his room.
04:38:17 <Puyopuyo> Brendan's laptop went in there once.
04:38:20 <Puyopuyo> IT NEVER CAME BACK.
04:45:09 <gadgetgrl> lol
04:45:40 <nathanbp> hey yet another keroro ep
04:46:17 <Puyopuyo> Wow.
04:48:49 <nathanbp> they said the next one (and movie 3) were coming out shortly when they posted the first one
04:48:56 <nathanbp> I think we already watched some horrible HK sub of movie 3 though
04:49:24 <Puyopuyo> We did!
04:55:46 <nathanbp> so in the time Keroro has been airing, anime fansub eps have gone from 175 MB avis with XVID to 300+ MB mkvs with mp4 >_>

05:41:52 <nathanbp> I think it was better when it wasn't trying to have a plot >_>
05:42:34 <AChes> yeah I think they really just wanted to make episode 3 until the end
05:47:28 <AChes> I haven't seen 5 or 6 yet so we'll see
05:50:44 <AChes> it would have to get pretty unbearable not to see the last few
06:06:51 <nathanbp> yeah I guess I'll keep watching (just finished 6)

14:18:30 <Puyopuyo> He has gone on record saying that he prefers writing female-female relationships because male-female relationships tend to overwhelm everything else.
14:18:36 <nathanbp> he just storyboarded the opening for Aoi Hana
14:18:53 <nathanbp> clearly he's directing a remake of Kannazuki no Miko

20:33:11 <Pipian-Lab> The dialing for the call waiting stuff?
20:33:24 <Puyopuyo> Yeah
20:34:08 <Pipian-Lab> Probably a limitation of CDMA
20:34:17 <Puyopuyo> I suppose.
20:34:32 <Puyopuyo> I'd just be happy if they picked one that worked well consistently, and stuck with it. This split is annoying.
20:34:38 <Pipian-Lab> GSM maybe has more external channels for communicating extra service metadata?
20:34:42 <Puyopuyo> Maybe.
20:34:43 <Pipian-Lab> Well
20:34:46 <Pipian-Lab> That's what LTE is all about
20:34:56 <Puyopuyo> "supposedly" all about.
