[05:46] <Sembiance> :)
[05:46] <realtime> :)
[07:29] <Dr_Rambo> ermm
[07:29] <Dr_Rambo> Does PSP have a built-in mic?
[07:29] <Dr_Rambo> I thought it doesn't
[07:34] <Decept404> the Pusp doesn't really have anything built in
[07:34] <Dr_Rambo> I just saw Skype is now avaliable for PSP
[07:36] <Decept404> for the new one yeah
[07:36] <Decept404> not the old one
[07:37] <Dr_Rambo> so, the slim PSP is got mic?
[08:01] <aav> http://85.214.20.228:8000
[08:01] <aav> brutal
[08:02] * Swish[\] is now known as Swish
[08:03] <Sembiance> hrm
[08:04] <Sembiance> aav: good music?
[08:04] <aav> yep
[08:07] <aav> i want to crank it up to 11
[08:08] <Ultyma> HACKS
[08:09] <kermit`_> slaqs
[08:10] * aav goes nuts
[08:22] <honkykong> Ghaleon
[08:22] <honkykong> slaqr
[08:22] <honkykong> u feeling any better yet?
[08:37] <hurrang> This may seem like some what of a ridiculous question but what is the point
[08:37] <Ultyma> less radiation
[08:37] <eTrece> in a horror game i find it important but most games i havne't seen it matter
[08:37] <eTrece> Ultyma, lol
[08:38] <FMRefs> so that i need to turn my brightness up
[08:38] <hurrang> so basically makes the game darker?
[08:39] <FMRefs> gamma, is the name of a nonlinear operation used to code and decode luminanc
[08:40] <eTrece> gamma also made the fantastic four so fantastically suck
[08:40] <Ultyma> lol
[08:41] <hurrang> i am not so sure i still understand lol
[08:41] <aav> gamma is quite complex
[08:41] <aav> the gamma slider in games is JUST there to let you "make things brighter/darker
[08:42] <Dr_Rambo> more tan/less tan
[08:42] <aav> because you either are afraid (in horror games) or your TV/display is set up ba
[08:42] <aav> ideally you leave the gamma slider at the default
[08:42] <aav> anything else with fuck with quality
[08:43] <hurrang> ah ok
[08:43] <hurrang> but then how come some games and a gamma and a brightness slider?
[08:43] <aav> because gamma changes things differently
[08:44] <aav> its like why your TV has both a contrast and a brightness setting
[08:44] <eTrece> in photography gamma/contrast are considered the same thing
[08:44] <aav> now... if your display is set up right and your game is still too dark/bright,
[08:44] <hurrang> lol
[08:44] <eTrece> lol
[08:57] <_kw> someone kill me please
[08:57] * ghib[4d] kills _kw
[08:57] <_kw> I'll pay afterwards
[08:57] <_kw> thx ;D
[08:57] <ghib[4d]> yw :)
[08:57] <eTrece> watchout he is doing it for the insurance muney!
[08:57] <_kw> funny how no one can be arsed when you need help, but ask someone to kill you a
[08:58] <_kw> aha eTrece
[08:58] <eTrece> lol true that
[08:58] <_kw> I wonder if my life insurance covers "person typing he killed me over IRC"
[08:58] <eTrece> haha you wish, my car insurance doesn't even cover my car in a fucking crash
[08:59] <_kw> if so, I found a great way to be rich!
[08:59] <_kw> hah
[09:00] <_kw> seriously though, my mind keeps drifting to an MMO Im thinking would be cool...
[09:00] <_kw> and how little hope it has of ever happening if you don't have a 20 man team an
[09:00] <_kw> ;)
[09:01] <_kw> still, can't stop fantasizing about making a game like that.. just seems like a
[09:01] <eTrece> lol yeah and like 8 mil in startup money for the network infrastructure ;P
[09:01] <_kw> heh yea
[09:01] <eTrece> have you seen Sun's project darkstar?
[09:01] <_kw> second problem is that I actually have shitloads of work I gotta do.. got deadl
[09:01] <_kw> so, kill me ;P
[09:01] <_kw> hm no
[09:01] <_kw> first I thought it was some scifi mmo
[09:01] <_kw> but it's Sun
[09:01] <_kw> so doubt that
[09:01] <Sembiance> _kw: :)
[09:02] <honkykong> man i'm starting to feel pretty good about my game server
[09:02] <eTrece> https://games-darkstar.dev.java.net/
[09:02] <honkykong> its keeping its connections alive, its not dropping messages/data, and it
[09:02] <_kw> hm
[09:02] <honkykong> anyone wanna try it?
[09:03] <eTrece> i wanna try!
[09:03] <honkykong> http://bokz.net/flash/test1.swf
[09:03] <_kw> eTrece - trying to understand what it means
[09:03] <honkykong> :)
[09:03] <honkykong> plz let me know what your latency is like
[09:03] <eTrece> _kw, is like an open-source mmo api
[09:03] <honkykong> and approximately where you are
[09:03] <_kw> it sounds like a non-centralized mmo system?
[09:03] <eTrece> saves a bunch of time on coding the network api for an mmo
[09:03] <honkykong> cool
[09:04] <honkykong> yeah thats kinda what i'm making actually
[09:04] <honkykong> but for flash
[09:04] <_kw> ah ok
[09:04] <_kw> so it's not non-centralized (which would have been scarily easy to cheat on)
[09:04] <eTrece> honkykong, i am in nyc and this swf looks spiffy ;P
[09:04] <_kw> but it's just the network API
[09:04] <_kw> sounds cool
[09:04] <honkykong> hey thank eTrece
[09:04] <honkykong> try joining a couple other chans and like, resizing the browser and stuff
[09:05] <honkykong> it looks sexified
[09:05] <eTrece> wow i do like this
[09:05] <eTrece> messages pop right up too
[09:06] <honkykong> aww
[09:06] <honkykong> i think i broked it
[09:06] <eTrece> lol
[09:06] <_kw> ya
[09:06] <_kw> it died
[09:06] <honkykong> :(
[09:06] <honkykong> so sad
[09:06] <eTrece> yeah it dead
[09:06] <honkykong> hmm
[09:06] <_kw> ironically, the last msg was: 18:6] <box> hey are either of you noticing
[09:07] <eTrece> lol ahh the irony
[09:07] <_kw> I'm sooo tempted to start a futile attempt at making this game
[09:07] <honkykong> k well its back up
[09:07] <honkykong> lol inorite
[09:07] <eTrece> haha
[09:08] <honkykong> i think the problem was how it aborts connections if someone logs in impr
[09:08] <honkykong> this is why its great to get people trying it out, so thanks ppl :)
[09:08] <honkykong> sorry my chat app failed
[09:08] <honkykong> but its getting there
[09:08] <honkykong> theres no /nick yet :(
[09:08] <honkykong> sorry
[09:09] <honkykong> you have to disconnect, change nick, and reconnect
[09:09] <eTrece> lol it is nice though. good base
[09:09] <honkykong> thanks yeah i think it'll make for a pretty cool bit of games soon
[09:09] <honkykong> i tried electro server and looked into fms for this stuff
[09:09] <honkykong> but i think i'd rather just write all my own shit
[09:10] <honkykong> once you get a user name and everything picked out, if you have those aut
[09:10] <honkykong> trying to make it as easy to use as possible
[09:10] <honkykong> wellt hanks for trying it out people
[09:10] <honkykong> i think i need to sort somethings out with it
[09:15] <Sembiance> Anyone here in the Boston area? :)
[09:15] <honkykong> newp, columbus ohio here
[09:15] <Sembiance> darn
[09:15] <honkykong> whats going on in boston
[09:16] <honkykong> gdamn thats a sexy flash app
[09:16] <honkykong> needs privmsgs, chan ops, topics, and /commands
[09:16] <Sembiance> honkykong: I'm holding my first JavaSCript meetup :)
[09:16] <honkykong> and it'll just about be a passable flash irc
[09:16] <honkykong> lol
[09:17] <honkykong> hey have i ever told yall how much i dislike javascript?
[09:17] <honkykong> cause i could like, go off about it for another 3 hours if you want
[09:17] <Sembiance> heh
[09:17] <honkykong> nah i'm j/k
[09:17] <honkykong> right on man
[09:17] <honkykong> prepare ot deal with a bunch of people trying to figure out how to make a
[09:17] <honkykong> and by a bunch i mean 'two', if you're lucky
[09:18] <honkykong> hey try my chat app man :P
[09:18] <honkykong> its the sexy
[09:18] <honkykong> i remember making the same sorta thing in javascript once years and years
[09:18] <honkykong> this works *way* better
[09:19] <honkykong> although the js version tied in to some tcl/tk shizzle so it was actually
[09:20] <Sembiance> pretty sure that we'll be talking about more advanced stuff than rollover
[09:20] <honkykong> newp
[09:20] <honkykong> js coders = 0.05% of the coding community
[09:20] <Sembiance> it's a small group of only like 6 people coming so far, included in that
[09:20] <honkykong> of those, 99% of them suck
[09:21] <honkykong> so you're looking at 1 in what... 500 coders that can maybe keep up?
[09:21] <honkykong> 500? 5000?
[09:21] <honkykong> gl
[09:21] <Sembiance> hehe
[09:21] <Sembiance> your just full of spunk :)
[09:21] <honkykong> i'm a realist
[09:23] <honkykong> and of those 1 in 5000 coders, i'd say you have a 1 in 20 chance of every
[09:23] <honkykong> and thats if you try to lure them out with boobs and beer
[09:23] <Sembiance> heh
[09:23] <honkykong> coders not really reknown for their social abilities
[09:23] <Sembiance> well I've moved away from all my friends, so I don't have anyone to talk
[09:23] <Sembiance> folks at work are not too into 'talking geek' :(
[09:23] <honkykong> me either
[09:23] <ghib[4d]> any ukers here?
[09:23] <honkykong> the biggest nerds i know are totally light weight
[09:24] <honkykong> i know of no one in my geographic area that can even come close to keepin
[09:24] <honkykong> i'm sure they're here, soemwhere, we got a huge uni just down the block
[09:24] <honkykong> bu ti dont know any of them
[09:24] <honkykong> all the CS majors i know are idiots
[09:25] <honkykong> takes a professor at least to keep up and they're all super busy and usua
[09:25] <honkykong> so good luck!
[09:25] <honkykong> lol
[09:25] <eTrece> lol nice
[09:26] <aav> i don't even like talking geek :)
[09:26] <aav> i mean.
[09:26] <honkykong> yeah i dont like the whole competitive thing
[09:26] <aav> right
[09:26] <honkykong> alphanerds have such a instinctive reaction to prove that they are nerdie
[09:26] <aav> oh, yes
[09:26] <honkykong> its like, maddening
[09:26] <aav> alphanerds
[09:26] <aav> it's a certain personality type
[09:26] <honkykong> cause i am the nerdiest of all
[09:26] <aav> :)
[09:26] <honkykong> and this can not be disputed.
[09:27] <honkykong> i'm tired of argueing it.
[09:27] <honkykong> lol
[09:27] <aav> question is
[09:27] <aav> what is your rant ABOUT?
[09:27] <honkykong> rant.topic = undefined
[09:27] <honkykong> rant.append(gibberish.random());
[09:27] <eTrece> i like talking with dumb young chicks cause you never get in a classical vs
[09:28] <honkykong> its gotten to where i wont even admit how nerdy i am, in real life
[09:28] <honkykong> i dont even like computers anyways
[09:29] <honkykong> so if i start talking about them i'm either a) talking to other people wh
[09:29] <honkykong> and in almost all situations its going to be an unpleasant conversation
[09:29] <honkykong> i'd much rather discuss boobs
[09:29] <eTrece> or look at ;P
[09:29] <honkykong> yes
[09:29] <honkykong> boobs.grope();
[09:30] <Ultyma> CreateGame(MMORPG, "World of Starcraft", true, true, -1, 5000, false);

[09:35] <Sembiance> heh
[09:35] <honkykong> 0.037 second latency
[09:36] <Sembiance> I miss tossing game ideas around with buddies
[09:36] <honkykong> thats what irc is for
[09:36] <aav> toss them all you want here
[09:36] <honkykong> you wont find real life nerds of a suitable caliber in real life
[09:36] <aav> toss your salad for all we care
[09:36] <honkykong> lol minus a real life there
[09:36] <honkykong> it just wont happen
[09:37] <Sembiance> real life conversation just flows so much easier
[09:37] <aav> yeah
[09:37] <aav> maybe we should set up #gamedev on Ventrilo
[09:37] <aav> :)
[09:38] <honkykong> my chat app might have voice/webcam capab ilities soon
[09:38] <aav> now, can someone tell me why deleting an ID3DXEffectCompiler sometimes gives an
