[10:03p] <zarawesome> I know how to play dota
[10:03p] <zarawesome> you choose a dude
[10:03p] <zarawesome> and then everyone calls you a fag

[Romosome]

<@Squizzle> Basically, murder people for salt now, because everyone will be murdering for salt later. You want to get in on the ground floor of saline homicide, and use your riches to purchase protection.

True story:
I was reading a Magic the Gathering:Shadowmage comic when I was younger, and my mom and her friend interrupted me.
"Who is the woman with the big boobs?" they asked, pointing to the female planeswalker, "Is she your girllllfriend?"
Then they went back to drinking wine.

this quote still haunts me because it reminds me that bullies have children

The three types of specialist  MAY 16 2013
From a passage of Kurt Vonnegut's Bluebeard, the three types of specialists needed for the success of any revolution.

Slazinger claims to have learned from history that most people cannot open their minds to new ideas unless a mind-opening teams with a peculiar membership goes to work on them. Otherwise, life will go on exactly as before, no matter how painful, unrealistic, unjust, ludicrous, or downright dumb that life may be.

The team must consist of three sorts of specialists, he says. Otherwise the revolution, whether in politics or the arts or the sciences or whatever, is sure to fail.

The rarest of these specialists, he says, is an authentic genius -- a person capable of having seemingly good ideas not in general circulation. "A genius working alone," he says, "is invariably ignored as a lunatic."

The second sort of specialist is a lot easier to find: a highly intelligent citizen in good standing in his or her community, who understands and admires the fresh ideas of the genius, and who testifies that the genius is far from mad. "A person like this working alone," says Slazinger, "can only yearn loud for changes, but fail to say what their shapes should be."

The third sort of specialist is a person who can explain everything, no matter how complicated, to the satisfaction of most people, no matter how stupid or pigheaded they may be. "He will say almost anything in order to be interesting and exciting," says Slazinger. "Working alone, depending solely on his own shallow ideas, he would be regarded as being as full of shit as a Christmas turkey."

Slazinger, high as a kite, says that every successful revolution, including Abstract Expressionism, the one I took part in, had that cast of characters at the top -- Pollock being the genius in our case, Lenin being the one in Russia's, Christ being the one in Christianity's.

He says that if you can't get a cast like that together, you can forget changing anything in a great big way.

So which of you is in good standing?

20:17   <R^2>: In an unexpected twist of events, I have a cheese souffle in the oven.
20:20   <Elfin>: Why is that unexpected, R^2? It just appeared?
20:20   <Brentai>: It's stalking him.
20:21   <Vance>: He was making a fruitcake
20:21   <Esperath>: the twist was that he was brushing his dog's fur
20:22   <Esperath>: and out popped a cheese souffle
20:22   <Vance>: Just like Harvest Moon

<+Aoko> "Final Fantasy Tactics S lets players recruit a clan of warriors and face off against others online in nine-on-nine battles. Characters can assume up to 300 jobs, most of which are taken from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and its sequel, Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Two new vocations appear in Tactics S, however: the Musician and the Air Samurai. "

[01:50:52pm -7] <+Aoko> ...
[01:50:54pm -7] <+Aoko> The TENCHI MOVIES
[01:50:59pm -7] <+Aoko> Wait no you guys saw the best (worst) one already
[01:51:18pm -7] <+Aoko> Wait did you guys see the one where he gets laid by a tree, or the one where his 12 year old future daughter licks his nipples to put him into a coma
[01:51:23pm -7] <Neeerds> We didn't see the one where Tenchi almost fucks his daughter
[01:51:43pm -7] <Caithness> the tree one, Aoko
[01:51:46pm -7] <@patito> aoko, isn't that the same movie?
[01:51:46pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> i dont care unless he's giving Ryoko the D
[01:52:08pm -7] <@Romosome> Lyrai
[01:52:13pm -7] <+Aoko> patito: No, there's three Tenchi movies
[01:52:20pm -7] <@Romosome> I'll kill you
[01:52:21pm -7] <@patito> but yeah, it was the tree movie
[01:52:27pm -7] <+Aoko> The first one is kind of just "Anime movie." Something happens, and in the end, it's erased from the timeline so it never bothers the TV canon
[01:52:40pm -7] <@Romosome> is that the one where he wants to bang his mom
[01:52:42pm -7] <+Aoko> The second one involves a crazy tree demon stealing his sperm, making a daughter, sending her back in time to seduce him.
[01:52:42pm -7] <@patito> haha, tenchi movie TV canon
[01:52:44pm -7] <@patito> that's hilarious
[01:52:45pm -7] <+Aoko> This involves licking his nipples.
[01:52:47pm -7] <Upthorn> which is good, because it couldn't decide which canon it wanted to be part of
[01:52:50pm -7] <Caithness> i have seen the daughter movie on my own
[01:52:51pm -7] <@Romosome> wait
[01:52:57pm -7] <@Romosome> there's TWO tenchi movies about incest?
[01:52:59pm -7] <+Aoko> The third one involves a tree woman sucking him into the future, and we see tenchi get laid a buncho f times on screen
[01:53:10pm -7] <+Aoko> Romosome: Tecnhically, they're all about incest.
[01:53:16pm -7] <+Aoko> Just varying degrees
[01:53:17pm -7] <@Romosome> how is the third one about incest
[01:53:21pm -7] <Upthorn> Technically, Aeka was always his aunt.
[01:53:28pm -7] <@patito> there's at least two involving trees apparently
[01:53:29pm -7] <+Aoko> Because the tree woman was his grandfather's old flame or something
[01:53:38pm -7] <+Aoko> Let's just air them all on OH so we can discuss it
[01:54:00pm -7] <@Romosome> did I miss a Love Hina movie where he sequentially bangs everyone too or something
[01:54:05pm -7] <Upthorn> and washu is possibly technically his mother?
[01:54:13pm -7] <+Aoko> Upthorn: OH MAN
[01:54:16pm -7] <@Romosome> my perpetual hatred of idiotic formulaic harem anime was mostly because it was so wishywashy
[01:54:16pm -7] <+Aoko> Oh man I JUST REMEMBERED
[01:54:18pm -7] <myew> They technically have the thing is you can possibly think of something to go on sunday.
[01:54:19pm -7] <@Romosome> nobody ever gets laid
[01:54:19pm -7] <+Aoko> Okay
[01:54:22pm -7] <+Aoko> According to the OAV3
[01:54:25pm -7] <+Aoko> Tenchi is technically God
[01:54:27pm -7] <Upthorn> hahaha, a love hina movie where they all get laid would be awesome
[01:54:30pm -7] <+Aoko> So Tenchi is veryone's father
[01:54:30pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> Romosome: the only choices were Kitsune or delicious brown girl
[01:54:32pm -7] <+Aoko> Technically
[01:54:38pm -7] <@Romosome> Lyrai: what happens if he bangs haruhi
[01:55:20pm -7] <@patito> romo, eventually he'll travel in time to fuck that daughter too
[01:55:24pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> Tenchi's family tree is dangerous levels of WHAT
[01:55:58pm -7] <Upthorn> Tenchi's family tree looks very much like the magnetic field lines surrounding the average star.
[01:56:16pm -7] <+Aoko> Okay, basically
[01:56:18pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> binary star
[01:56:20pm -7] <@Romosome> I'm sorry the correct answer was "god knows" thanks for playing
[01:56:33pm -7] <+Aoko> At ten thousand or more years in the future, a crazy event happens, and the goddesses need to stop it
[01:56:38pm -7] * @patito slow clap
[01:56:43pm -7] <+Aoko> So through time travel, Tenchi is the reincarnation of this superdiety
[01:56:47pm -7] <@Smiler> and they need to fuck tenchi
[01:56:52pm -7] <+Aoko> Except because of their tactions, Tenchi is also father to the entire universe
[01:56:56pm -7] <myew> Tenchi was pretty much exactly what the fuck they wanted.
[01:56:57pm -7] <@Romosome> SUPER deity
[01:57:00pm -7] <+Aoko> In a reincarnated sense
[01:57:04pm -7] <@Romosome> AND THIS IS TO GO
[01:57:06pm -7] <+Aoko> So basically, Tenchi Muyo is a show about incest
[01:57:07pm -7] <@Romosome> EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
[01:57:14pm -7] <@Romosome> so
[01:57:15pm -7] <+Aoko> ROMOSOME IT IS EXACTLY LIKE THAT
[01:57:17pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> Spaghetti family tree
[01:57:18pm -7] <+Aoko> THIS IS INCEST
[01:57:18pm -7] <@Romosome> they could've localized the show
[01:57:21pm -7] <+Aoko> THIS IS SUPER INCEST
[01:57:23pm -7] <@Romosome> as Who's Your Daddy
[01:57:26pm -7] <+Aoko> THIS IS INCEST, BEYOND THE NORMAL INCEST
[01:57:28pm -7] <+Aoko> AND THIS
[01:57:30pm -7] <+Aoko> IS TO GO
[01:57:31pm -7] <+Aoko> EVEN
[01:57:32pm -7] <+Aoko> FURTHER
[01:57:33pm -7] <+Aoko> DEEPER
[01:57:40pm -7] <Upthorn> YOURS IS THE INCEST THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS
[01:57:43pm -7] <@Romosome> *screaming and grunting for 10 minutes straight*
[01:57:50pm -7] <@Romosome> *shocked onlookers worldwide*
[01:57:52pm -7] <+Aoko> Which is exactly how I picture Tenchi having sex
[01:58:14pm -7] <@patito> man, I really liked tenchi
[01:58:19pm -7] <@patito> what is wrong with me
[01:58:19pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> And you cant have a threeway with washu and ryoko without severe feelings of ICK
[01:58:22pm -7] <+Aoko> patito: I like it too
[01:58:24pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> :S
[01:58:27pm -7] <@Romosome> Saturn
[01:58:29pm -7] <+Aoko> I just
[01:58:29pm -7] <@Romosome> why not
[01:58:38pm -7] <Mr_Saturn|PC> Washu is ryoko's MOM
[01:58:38pm -7] <@patito> well, I said, liked
[01:58:42pm -7] <Nodal> came
[01:58:44pm -7] <+Aoko> Am willing to point out how hilariously 90s stupid it's storyline is, and how it's a great case study for why you should be more coherent
[01:58:47pm -7] <@patito> I'm not sure I still like it
[01:58:52pm -7] <+Aoko> Saturn: And Tenchi is both of their fathers
[01:58:52pm -7] <@patito> but I'm not gonna risk it
[01:59:01pm -7] * Mr_Saturn|PC aaaagh my mind
[01:59:21pm -7] * @Romosome eyes saturn
[01:59:22pm -7] <+Aoko> Some part of this tenchi conversation needs to go in the quotes thread
[01:59:24pm -7] <+Aoko> I'm not sure which
[01:59:34pm -7] <+Aoko> Oh god I laughed so hard i hurt myself
[01:59:40pm -7] <Upthorn> just put it all in and let god sort it out

<Romosome> christ they're still making Tales games?
<BongoBill> they keep selling and the creative leads actually seem to like them
<BongoBill> so yeah
<BongoBill> they are still making Tales games
<Nodal> Bongobill
<Nodal> I feel like you have just done irreperable harm to the word creative
<BongoBill> Nodal: if nothing else they are really good at coming up with dumb names for incremental gameplay changes
<BongoBill> that takes creativity
<Nodal> No it doesnt, just toss some periods into a random word
<BongoBill> it only looks easy until you try it
<Nodal> Added double jump-powerd specials? The L.E.A.P. system
<BongoBill> what does each letter stand for, though

<Zaphod> Yesterday I saw Air Conditioning Man 3, and Star Trek: Into the Air Conditioning.
<Zaphod> They were both an enjoyable 70 degrees.

Pretty much.

If ever you see me praise a bad summer movie, keep in mind that my point of comparison is, oh, 108 degrees today.

I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for the Sandman. It was immediately cut by the editor. She told me, “There’s no masturbation in the DC Universe.” To which my reaction was, “Well that explains a lot about the DC Universe.

This is actually an image + a quote, so it was a coin toss where to put it:

Steven Seagal was in Russia last week, where he helped broker a meeting between Russian and American lawmakers about the threat of Islamic terrorism, and also discussed the possibility of giving a celebrity endorsement to a Russian arms manufacturer whose weapons routinely fall into the hands of Islamic terrorists. None of this caption is made up or intended to be funny.

<Aan> The idea of people paying money to watch any kind of coverage of a Magic tournament baffles me
<Aan> and I like watching coverage (when I can be bothered).
<Skeletor> Young people enjoy a good professional magic converge and also don't think that people who make a good professional magic coverage are entitled to their wage
<DeathSquiggle> Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his exposed ass crack ?
