The IM Thread

This is me and Shinatoa, struggling to figure out the 3D rendering program Maya.

<~Squiddlebuddy> How did I do that.
<~Squiddlebuddy> Where's the new shape button. Where's anything. Aaaaa.
<@Shinatoa> I have no idea. Somehow, I've got a people.
<~Squiddlebuddy> A people! Where did it come from!
<@Shinatoa> Click there, the HumanIK, then Skeleton Generator
<+BradLander> are they going to fight
<~Squiddlebuddy> Aaa my people is huge D:
<@Shinatoa> Yus, my people is huge too.
<~Squiddlebuddy> ...This is not a people. This is a stick monster.

<~Squiddlebuddy> It is successfully selected and moving!
<~Squiddlebuddy> Right, now how do I make it colory.
Click to expand...
<~Squiddlebuddy> See the cube with the four arrows coming out of it?
<@Shinatoa> Yus!
<~Squiddlebuddy> That's the resize tool.
<@Shinatoa> So it is!
<~Squiddlebuddy> I discovered that when instead of moving, my sphere became an oval.
<@Shinatoa> Jess, if you had speakers and a mic, we could record this as a voice thing and put it on Youtube. It would probably be hilarious.
<~Squiddlebuddy> Haha. It would.
<~Squiddlebuddy> But I don't. And we can't. :(
Click to expand...
<~Squiddlebuddy> It says right-click! RIGHT CLICK DOES NOTHING
<~Squiddlebuddy> !! Now it does suddenly
<~Squiddlebuddy> What did I do what did I dooooo
<~Squiddlebuddy> Fatal error D:
<@Shinatoa> ! As it turns out, you have to /hold right click/ aOMG how did you crash it?
<~Squiddlebuddy> I don't know how I crashed it!
<~Squiddlebuddy> It crashed on its own!
<@Shinatoa> Silly program!

<~Squiddlebuddy> Jaggedy.
<@Shinatoa> Yes, it's like someone cut two in half and tried to glue them together or something.
<~Squiddlebuddy> Snrk

<@Shinatoa> I don't know :o I just put them on top of each other and let them fight for dominance.
<~Squiddlebuddy> ...Pfft.
<@Shinatoa> Yeah, I know. This is too funny not to share.
<~Squiddlebuddy> That explains its jaggedy edge!
<@Shinatoa> It does!
Click to expand...
<@Shinatoa> Ugh, my red sphere somehow ended up with extra faces.
<@Shinatoa> Must remake red sphere.
<~Squiddlebuddy> Did it go lovecraftian?
<@Shinatoa> After I learn how to delete half of white sphere.
<@Shinatoa> Yus, it did indeed.
<~Squiddlebuddy> Click a face, press delete key :D
<~Squiddlebuddy> But yeah that happens a lot apparently
<@Shinatoa> There's likle 8 billion faces.
<~Squiddlebuddy> No I mean for white sphere.

[05/11/2011 19:06:33] Dean: Indeed. Feels good man.
[05/11/2011 19:06:35] Dean: How are you doing?
[05/11/2011 19:06:48] Damien: Eeeehhhh.
[05/11/2011 19:07:03] Damien: I'm sick as a dog, didn't get much sleep, and am looking at a rough shift tonight at work.
[05/11/2011 19:07:12] Dean: >:
[05/11/2011 19:07:24] Damien: Praying in the name of ever nameless dark god that the one guy who can cover for me texts me back that he will.
[05/11/2011 19:07:26] Damien: Otherwise... bleh.
[05/11/2011 19:07:53] Dean: If you're sick, surely you can afford to take a night off?
[05/11/2011 19:08:20] Damien: My job tonight is irreplacable by anyone who's not the one guy who I texted.
[05/11/2011 19:08:23] Damien: See...
[05/11/2011 19:08:33] Damien: We're in holiday season now and I'm part of overnight stocking crew.
[05/11/2011 19:09:08] Damien: For electronics, because everything is a high risk item and seasonal people don't exactly have incentive to not walk out with thousands of dollars of merch, only regulars can work there.
[05/11/2011 19:09:21] Damien: There's two regulars. I'm the one scheduled for tonight.
[05/11/2011 19:09:57] Damien: If I don't show up, or my coworker doesn't cover for me, the entire store gets fucked over and I just can't have that on my head.
[05/11/2011 19:10:19] Dean: Ah, I see. :/ Sucks.
[05/11/2011 19:11:18] Damien: Yeah.
[05/11/2011 19:11:29] Damien: So I'm sacrificing a few goats.
[05/11/2011 19:11:54] Damien: Hoping that the dark nameless ones will take the offering and tinker with his minds through black magic.
[05/11/2011 19:12:44] Dean: Don't forget the nameless things that gnaw the earth.
[05/11/2011 19:12:54] Dean: They're always looking for something tastier than clay.
[05/11/2011 19:21:34] Damien: Good idea.
[05/11/2011 19:21:43] Damien: I'll bury a live goat in a box.
[05/11/2011 19:23:06] Dean: Gandalf has walked there, ask him to bring it to them.
[05/11/2011 19:23:53] Damien: You have his mobile number? I seem to have misplaced it.
[05/11/2011 19:24:40] Dean: Just hold your phone up to your mouth, speak "friend" and press "enter".

A skype conversation I had (a while before Wii U was released:)
(i'm Zanreo)

[02:06:37] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: when I woke up I had to choose between going back to sleep for a chance to continue the dream
[02:06:49] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: or write it down to ensure I won't forget it
[02:06:52] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: it was a hard choice
[02:08:07] WarioFan63: You'll get it next time
[02:08:13] WarioFan63: Playing dream wii u is really important right now
[02:08:23] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: I tried writing it down quickly and then sleeping
[02:08:24] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: didn't work
[02:08:27] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: but yeah
[02:08:36] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: before I go to sleep, I'll tell myself "dream about wii u
[02:09:18] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: that will work
[02:10:07] WarioFan63: Wait until the Wii U comes out and then use the box as a pillow
[02:10:12] WarioFan63: that should work!
[02:10:17] WarioFan63: Wait then youd already have the...
[02:10:23] WarioFan63: damn
[02:10:26] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: yeah
[02:10:37] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: maybe I could 'borrow' a box until it comes out
[02:10:44] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: and then I return it
[02:11:16] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: it's ok as long as you return it, right
[02:11:46] WarioFan63: definitely
[02:11:51] WarioFan63: its a flawless plan
[02:12:47] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: I'll just sneak into the nintendo factory late at night and borrow one
[02:14:53] WarioFan63: whos gonna catch you?
[02:14:54] WarioFan63: nobody
[02:16:29] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: or even better, I'll sneak into the offices and get the one Iwata opened in the nintendo direct
[02:17:03] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: bet I could sell that for lots of money...
[02:17:18] WarioFan63: no get his gloves too
[02:17:40] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: of course
[02:18:30] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: "Hey, this is the ONE and ONLY Wii U from the Nintendo Direct. Touched by Iwata's gloves, that's right. 99% LEGIT TRUST ME. best offer wins!"
[02:18:47] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: and when it's shipped off to someone
[02:18:50] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: the blame is on THEM
[02:19:19] WarioFan63: the prefect crime
[02:20:22] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: I should be a criminal when I grow up
[02:20:29] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: with my perfect plans, no one will ever catch me
[02:21:54] WarioFan63: do they have college classes for that?
[02:23:06] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: they should have
[02:23:47] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: I'll start one
[02:24:32] WarioFan63: Youre already making master getaway plans so you qualify the most for the job
[02:24:44] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: True
[02:24:55] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: classes will be held at the Secret Place No One Can Know About
[02:26:58] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: training people up for my Nintendo Mafia
[02:30:04] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: I basically have my future all planned out
[02:33:25] WarioFan63: I dont see how this could get you or anyone into any trouble
[02:34:08] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: Not at all
[02:34:25] Zanreo the Ace Moderator: It's completely safe and legal
