01:46:32 <nathanbp> noooo alex logged off

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

02:52:07 <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

16:13:51 <Pipian> augh
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> Twitter
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
16:32:26 <gadgetgrl> or when working w/ fellow students
