19:34:41 Malefact Third in. :)
19:41:33 Kieran has joined the room
19:41:45 Malefact Fancy seeing you here. :)
19:42:04 Kieran Quite amazing, I know.
19:54:19 Steve has joined the room
19:54:40 Steve Hi
19:54:47 Malefact Hi!
19:55:16 Steve how r u this evening?
19:55:30 Malefact The usual, thanks. Yourself?
19:55:53 Steve very good thankyou
19:56:18 Kieran Hi Steve.
19:56:42 Malefact Series 5 in two days. :)
19:56:51 Steve hi
19:56:53 Steve I'm looking forward to Monday
19:57:17 Steve finally getting to see Lord Fear, the greatest ever KMare villain, again after all these years
19:57:55 Malefact You don't see that much of him to begin with.
19:58:07 Steve well, anything is better than nothing at all
19:58:21 Malefact Very true.
19:58:42 Malefact I remember feeling a bit put out that they got rid of the heartbeat on the Life Force clock.
19:59:05 Kieran I felt life force was useless in S5, just seemed to stick it there for fun.
19:59:45 Malefact Indeed. Shame, really.
20:00:34 Malefact I always felt the clock to be a major part of the early series.
20:00:53 Steve agreed
20:02:35 Kieran It was, it was the whole point of the game: Survival. Therefore it had to be a big theme.
20:02:56 Steve exactly
20:02:58 Kieran Seasons 6 and 7 had a bit more of an involved life force though.
20:03:26 Malefact Series 8 is hardly worth mentioning. :S
20:05:42 Kieran It was as useless there as in S5
20:05:49 Kieran Anyway, need to reconnect, will bb soon.
20:05:55 Malefact At least s5's was prettier
20:05:56 Malefact OK.
20:06:14 *Malefact hopes more people come along tonight
20:06:30 *Malefact has a few names specifically in mind
20:06:34 *Steve agrees with Malefact
20:07:37 *Malefact juggles the air
20:08:02 Steve I'll have to leave by 9 o clock, as there's boxing on TV that I wish to watch
20:08:14 Steve and then, later on, REM and Billy Connolly are on Parkinson, so I can't miss that
20:08:30 Malefact Ah, yes. I'll get my parents to record that for me.
20:08:54 Malefact Connolly must have appeared on that show dozens of times!
20:08:56 Kieran has left the room
20:09:12 Steve yeah, but as he's hilariously funny, I don't mind
20:09:19 Steve and of course, REM are just legends
20:09:28 Malefact Have they got a new album out then?
20:09:44 Steve they have a Greatest Hits coming out on Oct. 27th
20:09:49 Steve and a new single which is out now
20:09:56 Malefact Ah, I see.
20:10:13 Malefact I haven't heard much of their stuff but I like Losing My Religion.
20:10:29 Steve yeah, that's an all time classic
20:10:42 Steve their new song, Bad Day, has a very funny video which goes with it
20:11:20 Malefact Did I tell you that Procol Harum have a new album out?
20:11:46 Steve I believe you did mention it, but as my memory is awful, I can't be sure
20:12:17 Malefact It's called The Well's On Fire and has got good reviews. Some nice songs on it.
20:12:52 Malefact The other major old-school prog rock album out this year was The Power To Believe by King Crimson
20:13:22 Steve there's a name I haven;t heard in a while
20:14:24 Malefact It's a very powerful album. You get half-baked shades of prog in some modern indie sulk-rock bands these days, but Crim blows all that out of the water.
20:14:54 KaM has joined the room
20:14:58 Malefact Hi!
20:15:13 Steve as always, the older bands do it so much better than the newer imitators ever could
20:15:23 Malefact Very true.
20:15:26 KaM Hey up good sirs
20:15:35 MGP has joined the room
20:15:36 Steve hey
20:15:40 Malefact Hi!
20:15:48 Steve hey
20:16:01 MGP hi :)
20:16:13 KaM Howdy
20:16:18 MGP how is everyone?
20:16:19 Malefact You were a bit early before. :)
20:16:29 Malefact Fine, thanks. Yourself?
20:16:30 MGP yep, i was just testing it
20:16:36 *KaM is a cut above the dangerous
20:16:38 Malefact Ah, I see.
20:16:41 Steve pretty good thanks
20:16:46 MGP cool :)
20:17:15 MGP need to work out how to use this client...
20:17:28 Malefact Which one are you using?
20:17:43 MGP JAVirc
20:18:04 MGP It works, which is more than I can say for others when I tested them earlier.
20:18:31 MGP but so long as one works. :)
20:18:32 Malefact Ah. Well, the command window thing and the black one with the Knightmare logo you can just minimize and ignore. The chat window you can expand to full-screen. That's what I do.
20:19:07 MGP yep, just need to remember a few of the commands of these things. excuse me if i make a fool of myself in the meantime
20:19:30 Malefact We've all done it. :)
20:19:48 GG that's better
20:19:54 Malefact Hehe. :)
20:19:59 Malefact WB!
20:20:02 GG Hi hi.
20:20:25 GG Thanks for the client advice.
20:20:26 Malefact Long time no see!
20:20:34 Malefact No problem. :)
20:20:44 GG None of the others work for me now. Even Microsoft Chat is stinktastic.
20:21:11 Malefact jIRC has been playing up with me for the last few weeks.
20:21:24 GG I'm not sure if I gave this one a try before now. It's ugly, but it works, at least.
20:21:41 Malefact Indeed.
20:22:21 Malefact I prefer white letters on black background (jIRC does that) instead of vice versa - that's the programmer in me.
20:22:24 GG hmm, lots of menus and thing that i think i'll just leave to their own devices.
20:22:40 Malefact Hehe, indeed. I never touch them, either.
20:22:47 Steve that's probably a good idea
20:23:13 GG I'll leave the technomagic alone.
20:23:28 Malefact Start fiddling with things and you never know what might happen.
20:23:48 GG Yep, getting eaten by something is a definite possibility.
20:24:16 Malefact Oh, don't remind me!
20:24:18 GG Do all the usual people still come along sometimes?
20:24:27 Malefact More or less, yes.
20:24:33 *KaM grins
20:24:42 Steve where's Billy tonight?
20:24:46 GG Why the grinningness, KaM?
20:24:51 Steve it's rare for him not to be here
20:24:58 KaM Hiding from 'Namenthus'?
20:25:25 *Malefact hopes Velda comes along
20:25:29 KaM I grin, sir.. because I'm imagining that the idea of the usual people doesn't include me, who's now a HoP
20:25:49 GG A HoP?
20:25:58 Steve yeah, I was just about to ask
20:26:03 KaM Nods.. I was thinking that I might not be one of the names you had in mind before I arrived. :)
20:26:04 Malefact Half-operator.
20:26:05 Steve what is a HoP?
20:26:11 KaM %%%%%%
20:26:12 GG Oh yep.
20:26:14 Steve ah, I see
20:26:34 KaM Big honour for me.
20:26:36 GG It's been a while, my brain is slow.
20:26:43 Malefact KaM: nonsense! Always a pleasure to see you here! :)
20:27:07 GG Does Billy still dress up as Mellisandre?
20:27:13 KaM Saying that.. I did visit the chatroom years back.. in a sense, it's why I'm here. A certain AB got to know me.
20:27:27 KaM Thanks Andrew, very kind. :)
20:27:37 Malefact I think Billy's been cured. :)
20:27:48 GG Oh, that is a relief. ;)
20:27:54 *Malefact shudders
20:27:59 Malefact You used my real name!
20:28:01 GG All that falling down trapdoors must have been painful.
20:28:28 KaM I do, from time to time. As I remember good sir, you forgive the odd use of that, if we don't know the rest (?)
20:29:05 KaM I sometimes shudder at the thought of KaM becoming a general nickname for me.. but am starting to get used to it. Sometimes feels scaringly impersonal
20:29:22 Malefact I like impersonal - it's so me. :)
20:30:08 KaM Well.. I don't mind it.. but with closest friends, it's sometimes a bit distancing
20:30:41 Malefact A rose by any other name, etc.
20:31:00 *KaM is Brother Strange - and doesn't know that one
20:32:33 GG I'm quiet because I'm checking various forums and things. I'll be human in a few minutes.
20:32:38 Malefact Mind you, calling someone "Pus-dripping sack of double-smoked rectum jerky" is perhaps not the most suitable name.
20:32:55 Malefact Wish I could access the main forum.
20:33:01 GG You can't?
20:33:02 Malefact I'm only about 8 posts away from the big 1000!
20:33:21 GG Yeh, I noticed your post rate increased when you got close to it ;)
20:33:25 Malefact Nope - at home on dialup I have a low success-rate in getting there.
20:33:37 Steve how does one go about changing one's chat name?
20:33:46 Malefact Type /nick newname
20:33:47 Steve one can't find the right button
20:34:07 KaM Alternatively.. on mIRC, under commands
20:34:12 LordFear ah, much better
20:34:38 Shoehorn Don't eat us Mr. Fear.
20:34:47 LordFear I make no promises
20:35:02 LordFear and it's "Lord Fear", not "Mr. Fear"
20:35:11 LordFear I would thank you to remember that
20:35:14 Shoehorn Yes, Mr. Fear.
20:35:20 Shoehorn I'll try to.
20:35:24 *Elegist chuckles
20:35:37 Shoehorn A lowly shoehorn doesn't remember much, tho.
20:35:46 LordFear would you like a fireball to be inserted in a rather painful place?
20:35:50 God I HEAR VOICES. AT LEAST, I THINK I HEAR VOICES. AT LEAST, I BELIEVE THAT I THINK I HEAR VOICES.
20:36:04 Shoehorn Shoehorns don't have many painful places.
20:36:30 Voices What was that about me?
20:36:43 God I COULD GO FOR A WALK BUT THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYTHING TO EXIST OUTSIDE MY CURRENT FIELD OF VISION BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IT.
20:37:05 God HMM, VOICES AGAIN. AT LEAST, I THINK IT'S VOICES...
20:37:07 LordFear who invited God in here?
20:37:34 *Voices scorns that Keith can't keep up
20:37:53 Malefact Can't do God-think for too long, it gives me a headache.
20:38:04 KaM And me
20:38:13 KaM Gives me.. finger-ache
20:38:20 LordShoe This colour scheme is really eye straining.
20:38:49 Malefact Trouble is, that kind of thought process is so massively complex that it becomes totally fundamental and collapses in on itself.
20:39:19 Malefact Rather like an apparantly-complex knot that is pulled apart by a slight tug.
20:39:40 LordFear Malefact, please be so kind as to stop confusing me before I have the urge to send a fireball in your direction
20:39:44 Malefact What you are left with is... just the universe. Look to the roaring ocean - that is God thinking.
20:39:49 Malefact Sorry.
20:39:55 LordShoe Oh, go on, hit him with a fireball.
20:40:03 *Malefact hides
20:40:17 LordShoe I notice noone's been cleaning the carpet here in my absence.
20:40:19 *KaM puts up border around Malefact
20:40:21 LordShoe Shame on you all!
20:40:43 *Malefact soils the carpet in fear of being fireballed
20:40:44 LordFear I'm in a good(ish) mood tonight, and Malefact is a long-time KM Chat acquaintance
20:40:54 LordFear so I'll resist the urge
20:40:57 LordFear for now
20:41:01 Malefact Phew!
20:41:10 KaM Pass it on
20:41:20 *Malefact covers the mess with the rug and emerges
20:41:29 LordShoe Hey, clean it up.
20:41:40 LordShoe That's not what the rug is there for.
20:41:42 Malefact OK...
20:41:48 LordShoe It's for decoration only.
20:41:53 *Malefact spellcasts SHAKE'N'VAC
20:42:00 LordShoe :)
20:42:46 LordShoe now, how do i do actions? i forget.
20:43:01 Malefact It's /me action
20:43:02 LordFear Excuse me, but I think you'll find I'm the only one here qualified to spellcast things
20:43:13 LordShoe ACTION action
20:43:16 LordShoe oh good
20:43:32 Malefact I am also qualified - if you don't believe me check out the Boarding School QEM Department!
20:43:58 KaM Aye.. me is also supposed to be teaching magic there.. I am on a sabbatical at the moment
20:44:13 Malefact The Art Of Spellcasting?
20:44:41 LordFear and while you're on your sabbatical, are you by any chance learning how to speak and use grammar correctly?
20:44:56 LordFear "me is also supposed to be teaching..."
20:45:18 Malefact At least he doesn't begin his sentences with conjunctions and lower-case letters. ;)
20:45:22 LordFear shut up
20:45:35 KaM :) I could use preterites or subjunctives
20:45:37 LordShoe teehee
20:45:41 LordFear my fireball-related urge is rapidly returning
20:45:52 LordShoe oh go on, you know you want to really.
20:45:53 KaM Splash, Malefact?
20:46:02 KaM You know you have to gift it..
20:46:02 Malefact Hehe - and I've got a Quasi-Existential shield to protect me. :)
20:46:26 Malefact Oh, yeah! SPLASH! Lovely little spell, that is. :)
20:46:34 KaM I've got my thin-rakiness to sort of ..vanish
20:46:53 *LordFear aims a fireball at Malefact
20:46:59 LordFear what?
20:47:02 KaM On the subject of shields.. how about Arken?
20:47:03 *Malefact casts SHIELD
20:47:05 LordFear that's not right
20:47:26 LordFear ah heck, I give up on fireballs, I'm too tired
20:47:35 KaM HarHarHar
20:47:38 LordFear I think my aim is a little off tonight anyway
20:47:53 LordShoe i suppose i could return to my usual state and cast some green ones, but i'm too lazy
20:48:02 LordShoe fireballs are overrated anyway
20:48:13 KaM Right, I should likely go and learn some English grammar, since my infrequent utilisation of colloquialism is under scrutiny.
20:48:22 LordFear anyway, I must be going as there is boxing on TV that I wish to watch
20:48:31 Malefact OK. :(
20:48:35 LordFear so I will see most/all of you tomorrow
20:48:37 LordShoe Bye, Lordie!
20:48:40 KaM Violence.. sheesh
20:48:44 Malefact I won't be here tomorrow. Uni.
20:48:48 KaM See you later Sir!
20:48:57 Malefact Bye!
20:49:15 LordFear And, of course, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 10am and 6pm on Challenge TV
20:49:28 KaM coughs* midnight
20:49:34 Malefact Oh, yeah... that too. :)
20:51:03 LordShoe midnight?
20:51:08 LordShoe thought it was a bit later
20:51:22 Malefact Midnight is what I heard, too.
20:51:32 LordShoe where did you hear it from?
20:51:42 Malefact The centre of the front page of km.com :)
20:51:52 KaM Still.. so disappointed I can't see it first hand this time around.. Those S4/5 titles are so my fav.
20:52:07 LordShoe hmm, challenge website is saying 00.55. i'll check my sky thing
20:52:17 LordFear has left the room
20:52:23 LordShoe i'll post the times anyways.
20:52:39 Malefact Glad one of us can post. :)
20:53:48 LordShoe yep, that says 12.55am too
20:54:07 LordShoe i can pretty much always post. it's just infernally slow sometimes
20:54:21 LordShoe i mean, tremendously slow.
20:54:51 Malefact Indeed. It's a bit of a pain because it means that sometimes I really can't be bothered to check new threads etc.
20:55:12 LordShoe nodnod, i've had that too when i can't get on
20:55:16 LordShoe oh, thankyou both for adding to my new thread
20:55:52 Malefact Hehe, I enjoyed that one. :)
20:55:57 KaM :) The Rules!
20:56:03 Malefact Had to wrack my brains to come up with a set of ten, though. :)
20:56:18 Malefact "Daggers are fun"
20:56:24 KaM Hehe.. The dungeon can take care of itself. :)
20:56:28 Kieran has joined the room
20:56:30 LordShoe thankyou :)
20:56:32 Malefact WB!
20:56:42 LordShoe hi hi
20:56:48 KaM 'lo sir
20:57:11 Kieran Evening, dad nicked phone line so it took longer than expected.
20:57:42 Kieran Billy asked me to mention he is away this weekend, hence his absense.
20:57:57 Malefact We were wondering about that.
20:58:23 Malefact Btw, are you having trouble getting into MSN?
20:59:43 Kieran No.
21:00:22 Malefact Hmm, odd. Windoze Messenger is in a state of log-in Purgatory so I've switched to MSN Messenger and I'm straight in.
21:01:39 Kieran So I see.
21:01:45 Malefact Indeed. :)
21:02:19 *Kieran hunts for tablets
21:03:59 Malefact I've had more than my fair share of tablets this week.
21:04:14 LordShoe Oh?
21:04:22 LordShoe Are you okay now?
21:04:56 Malefact I caught flu just in time for my 21st birthday on Tuesday. The rest of my family have also got it. I'm better now - it's just turned into a cold.
21:05:28 LordShoe Wull, I hope it eats itself and goes soon.
21:05:43 Malefact Thanks. :)
21:07:12 LordShoe Is there somewhere to post links on the km backup forum, Malefact?
21:07:33 LordShoe you know, silly links, wastes of time and such
21:07:50 Malefact The Cafe is as good a place as any, I guess. :)
21:08:14 LordShoe Oh, okay. Just wondering if someone has started a thread on it. A lot of forums keep a place to post silly links.
21:08:58 Malefact Don't think there's anything like that yet on the backup forum.
21:09:38 LordShoe nodnod, okies, thanks.
21:09:47 KaM has left the room
21:11:06 KaM has joined the room
21:11:10 Malefact WB!
21:11:17 KaM Thanx
21:11:39 Malefact LordShoe: I don't see you on the backup forum.
21:12:06 LordShoe Hmm? What? You mean I'm not logged in there now?
21:12:40 Malefact I can't see GG in the little list of names at the bottom.
21:12:59 Malefact There's me and three guests.
21:13:16 LordShoe No, I'm not there. ;)
21:14:12 LordShoe none of them are me. i'm just filling in a few things elsewhere. i may post there a bit later- i'll try and gather some pointless links together. Muahaha.
21:14:34 Malefact :)
21:16:38 LordShoe have you seen the pointless helicopter game?
21:16:54 Malefact What's that?
21:17:00 Malefact (apart from the obvious :D)
21:18:59 LordShoe hang on, i'll give you the link. it's pretty silly.
21:20:37 LordShoe hmm, not being able to paste here, bleh
21:21:05 LordShoe i'll post it on the backup thingumy. ;)
21:21:11 Malefact Do a CTRL+C of the URL bar and a CTRL+V straight into this text bar.
21:21:38 LordShoe http://www.paramounttechnology.com/media/helicopter.html
21:21:41 LordShoe thanks
21:22:14 Malefact np
21:24:05 Malefact Bloody thing. :)
21:24:06 LordShoe my whole mailing list has been playing that. they all hate me now. muahaha.
21:24:12 LordShoe whatwhat?
21:24:24 Malefact I now hate you too. :)
21:24:33 Malefact I keep crashing. :)
21:24:54 LordShoe haha
21:25:15 LordShoe i'll have to find the score you have to beat ;)
21:25:25 LordShoe it does get easier with practice
21:25:42 Malefact It reminds me a bit of a game I made a few years ago.
21:26:03 LordShoe i think there are loads around like it. it was just one someone pointed me to.
21:26:53 Malefact My new top score is 647. :)
21:27:11 LordShoe that's not bad at all for a few minutes!!
21:27:20 LordShoe you'll have caught up with me in no time.
21:27:40 Malefact What's your personal best?
21:27:56 LordShoe i'll find it. i have it written somewhere. something like 255, i think.
21:28:03 LordShoe 2500
21:28:08 LordShoe not 255
21:28:19 Malefact 255 would be rather embarrasing. :)
21:28:36 LordShoe i know one guy who says he got over 3000. not sure whether to believe him or not ;)
21:28:47 LordShoe yep, 255 would be pretty bad after a bit of practice
21:28:56 Malefact My favourite game atm is Pinball - a really nice version on some computers. You get missions to complete and you get rankings.
21:28:58 LordShoe i've managed as low as 20 tho.
21:29:10 LordShoe YES I love that game.
21:29:22 LordShoe you mean the space pinball one?
21:29:23 Malefact My top score on that is about 18.5 million.
21:29:32 Malefact I got up to the rank of Captain.
21:29:42 LordShoe heh, you don't want to know what i got
21:29:53 Malefact Is that because it's good or bad? :)
21:30:05 LordShoe it stops when you get to 100 million
21:30:14 Malefact I see!!!
21:30:30 LordShoe i was fleet admiral then. it just freezes when your score gets there
21:30:40 LordShoe that is a really fun game. i haven't played it in ages
21:30:47 LordShoe the sound is so cool
21:30:49 Malefact Ruddy Hell! I've got work to do...
21:31:00 LordShoe *comfies*
21:31:38 Malefact What kind of missions are there at that level?
21:31:53 LordShoe you should be able to get a file with all the missions on
21:32:00 LordShoe i remember printing it out
21:32:06 Malefact I'm lazy. :)
21:32:24 LordShoe they're pretty horrible. lots of wormhole things and hitting tiny little spots
21:32:31 LordShoe and they're really long
21:33:03 LordShoe the longest one is the maelstrom mission. that seems to take forever, and when you complete it the whole game goes mad with just about every light flashing.
21:33:21 Malefact Maybe I'll be lucky enough to see that someday. :)
21:33:42 Malefact It's a pain, though, when you've spent ages working on a mission and are almost there and you lose your ball.
21:33:56 LordShoe i used to have friends who'd set up one of their laptops next to my pc and compete
21:34:16 Malefact Hehe.
21:34:20 LordShoe it's kinda sad, but two of my friends got together that way. the pinball was their rather unusual courting ritual.
21:34:42 Malefact Hmm!
21:34:47 LordShoe they used to nag me to use my computer so they had an excuse to be together and get to know one another
21:35:19 LordShoe i was glad when they finally got together and gave up the whole pinball charade.
21:35:40 Malefact :)
21:36:09 LordShoe still a fun game.
21:36:51 Malefact Interesting how a game can bring people together!
21:37:08 Malefact "Mummy, how did you and daddy first meet?"
21:37:12 LordShoe yeh. i used to get loads of visitors wanting to play that for a long while
21:37:18 LordShoe heh :)
21:37:32 LordShoe Yeh "We were at John's place playing pinball..."
21:37:47 Malefact So that's your name.
21:37:48 LordShoe They might want to invent a better story.
21:37:57 LordShoe Yep, I thought you knew that really.
21:38:24 Malefact Well, I thought it could have been from your email address but I wasn't sure.
21:38:49 LordShoe yepyep
21:39:03 Malefact Glad it's not Pussywillow. :)
21:39:14 LordShoe Oh, and that couple are still together over 4 years later, so the pinball didn't do a bad job. ;)
21:39:18 LordShoe Yeh, me too!
21:39:36 LordShoe or girlthingywillow, that's almost worse.
21:39:53 Malefact Hehe! That censor has got a filthy mind! :)
21:39:59 LordShoe So you said :)
21:40:10 Malefact Four years, blimey. That's an awful lot of Kleenex.
21:40:20 LordShoe *shudder*
21:40:25 Malefact >
21:41:56 Malefact Just had a go at Pinball again (couldn't resist!) Reached a million, lost a life... gave up.
21:42:05 Malefact Do you remember Sonic Spinball?
21:42:16 LordShoe yep, i usually gave up if i didn't get at least 5million on the first ball.
21:42:21 LordShoe no, i don't think so
21:42:50 LordShoe oh, and excuse the possible double entendres, but have you worked out how to get extra balls?
21:43:05 LordShoe they're a big help when you lose yours. ;)
21:43:43 Malefact I think if you enter a wormhole whose colour corresponds to a light somewhere then an extra ball becomes available. I think it's awarded when you do a hyperspace launch. I could be wrong. :)
21:44:08 Malefact I prefer replays because it means you don't have to restart a mission.
21:44:20 LordShoe oh yeh, there's the wormhole thing i think. best way is to launch it into the launch thing on the right 4 times then into one of the side chute things.
21:44:39 LordShoe but you can only get 1 replay at a time. you can stock up infinite extra balls
21:45:09 Malefact I do like Reflex shot awards. :)
21:45:29 Malefact I can flick straight back into the launch ramp a dozen times back-to-back sometimes.
21:46:04 LordShoe yeh.
21:46:24 LordShoe it's quite a tactical game, really.
21:47:27 Malefact Indeed. There's an awful lot to it, which I like.
21:47:57 LordShoe i think when you get good at getting the extra balls it gets a bit easy. but otherwise it's cool.
21:48:29 LordShoe the later missions can get pretty tense
21:48:54 LordShoe and keboard-whackingly frustrating when you lose a life just before you can finish one
21:49:20 Malefact I know what you mean.
21:49:36 Malefact "Just one more drop target!... Oh, you BASTARD!"
21:49:54 LordShoe yeh
21:52:59 LordShoe i don't even know if i still have that. i don't think i've deleted it...
21:53:07 LordShoe but probably best i don't look. ;)
21:53:14 Malefact Maybe. :)
21:55:47 Malefact ITV have sunk to new lows tonight with their Grease-mania thing.
21:56:06 LordShoe eww, i didn't even notice that, hank heavens
21:56:14 LordShoe *thank
21:56:37 Malefact I'm not watching it but my mum and sister are.
21:57:12 Malefact I think "loathesome pile of rancid, lowest-common-denominator detritis" sort of covers it.
21:57:20 LordShoe teehee
21:57:25 LordShoe i have to be honest...
21:57:30 LordShoe i've never seen it ;)
21:57:50 LordShoe I like being the person who's never seen these supposedly really big and important things.
21:58:28 LordShoe I only watched the original Star Wars recently. Oh, and someone will have to drug and torture me before I watch Titanic.
22:00:13 Malefact I've only seen Titanic because my mum and sister have. I really hope you never do watch it.
22:00:31 Malefact I never have anything to do with these big events, neither.
22:00:45 LordShoe I couldn't listen to Celine Dion crooning if I knew it would be in it.
22:01:09 Malefact I loathe and detest that song.
22:01:14 LordShoe Yepyep. :)
22:01:46 Malefact brb - need fluid of some kind.
22:01:48 Chris has joined the room
22:01:54 Chris hi everyone
22:01:55 Malefact Hi Chris!
22:01:57 LordShoe Hi hi.
22:02:02 Malefact brb - need fluid.
22:02:09 LordShoe How are you doing?
22:02:26 Chris not great
22:02:38 Chris but theres one thing i'm looking forward to
22:02:42 LordShoe oh dear, i'm sad to hear that
22:02:50 Chris Knightmare series 5 starts in 2 days :)
22:03:00 LordShoe ACTION claps.
22:03:08 LordShoe yay. hurrah for challenge
22:03:22 Chris I'm chuffed
22:03:30 LordShoe do you have the videos ready?
22:03:36 Chris yeah
22:03:43 LordShoe ACTION claps again.
22:03:47 Chris It can't come sooner
22:04:05 Chris the highlight of October
22:04:16 LordShoe it'll be cool. it seems like a while since they first got series 4.
22:04:37 Chris yes they're repeated series 3 and 4 a few times
22:05:03 Malefact Back!
22:05:10 Chris hi again
22:05:12 LordShoe do you watch challenge otherwise? if so, have they been advertising it at all?
22:05:51 Chris no i just watch challenge for Knightmare really
22:05:58 Malefact I only see the Crystal Maze on Challenge and don't really watch the adverts.
22:06:03 LordShoe nodnod. i haven't watched it lately, so i don't know either
22:06:25 LordShoe must fight temptation to chance nick to Ed Tudor Pole!
22:07:16 LordShoe about whom it seems we've finally settled the argument on whether he's alive or not. :)
22:07:29 Malefact Indeed. He's dead. :)
22:07:41 LordShoe me/ glares.
22:07:45 LordShoe oops
22:08:18 LordShoe It's only his personality that'd dead.
22:08:23 LordShoe *that's
22:09:50 Malefact Sounds like me.
22:10:17 LordShoe Stop it! Or I'll give you an Ed Tudor Pole own brand cosmic handshake!
22:10:35 Malefact Sorry.
22:10:38 *Malefact slaps self
22:10:51 LordShoe good. that threat works on most people.
22:11:31 LordShoe if that doesn't work, "I'll tell Ed Tudor Pole your address and send him around to visit" will do the job. ;)
22:11:52 Malefact :)
22:12:02 Malefact I swear I'm recovered from Easter now!
22:12:12 Malefact (Well, sort of)
22:12:18 LordShoe teehee
22:13:28 LordShoe It's silly. I was watching Knightmare Series 5- well, most of it, since I'm missing an episode- in preparation for Challenge showing it. That's just wrong somehow.
22:13:54 Malefact I've deliberately stayed away from Km because of it! :)
22:16:18 LordShoe in a way, i guess that's a good idea
22:17:19 Malefact My series 5 tapes are very poor quality. I'm really looking forward to getting some crisp, sharp, first-generation copies. :)
22:17:28 LordShoe nodnod
22:17:33 Malefact This will be the first time I've watched Km live and recorded it for the first time in 9 years.
22:18:08 LordShoe choose which showing you record carefully if you want to avoid the pointless challenge gj babble
22:18:33 LordShoe they'll usually talk over the music on the 6pm viewing
22:18:45 LordShoe so if you're a purist lol, best record another time.
22:19:20 Malefact Hehe, thanks.
22:20:41 LordShoe they've changed their schedule quite a bit. i noticed the celebrity tv bloopers are back just so i can make veiled comments about how awful they are *grin*
22:21:09 Malefact Never seen that.
22:21:29 LordShoe try it once then get your memory of the experience erased.
22:21:53 Malefact I'll have to get myself a WIPE spell, or equivalent, then.
22:21:58 LordShoe it's funny, even the challenge staff hate it
22:22:23 LordShoe yep, a WIPE spell will do it.
22:22:33 LordShoe i gather Rothberry has some.
22:22:58 Malefact I don't go to him any more after he sold me that supposed cure for constipation.
22:23:50 LordShoe Oh dear, did you report him to the Level 1 Trades Standards Agency?
22:24:34 Malefact I did but he'd moved to Level 2 by then.
22:24:41 LordShoe He's sneaky like that.
22:25:09 Malefact I got him back, though.
22:25:16 LordShoe You'd think The Powers That Be would close the loophole that allows people like him to move their stalls to another Level to avoid prosecution.
22:25:21 LordShoe Oh?
22:26:06 Malefact I laced the stuff in his cure for diahorroea.
22:26:07 Billy-1987-1994 has joined the room
22:26:12 Malefact Hi!
22:26:16 LordShoe Hi Billy!
22:26:42 Billy-1987-1994 Hi folks, can't stay long at all though!
22:27:02 LordShoe How are you doing?
22:27:30 Billy-1987-1994 And yes, i am aware i've spelt my nick wrong.
22:27:48 Billy-1987-1994 fine, fine, i'm in birmingham at the moment
22:27:57 Chris has left the room
22:28:14 LordShoe ah, cool
22:28:21 Chris has joined the room
22:28:46 LordShoe WB Chris.
22:28:54 Billy1987-1994 This keyboard isn't that good, so i might have to lay off the capitals for tonight
22:28:57 Chris thatnks
22:31:16 Billy1987-1994 Anything interesting happen?
22:32:19 LordShoe Evidently not lol
22:32:29 Billy1987-1994 indeed!
22:32:46 Malefact Check the logs. :)
22:33:25 LordShoe i'm just trying to grab these links to post
22:33:36 LordShoe so i'm a lil afk
22:35:36 LordShoe okay, think i'll finish the links tomorrow.
22:35:49 LordShoe is there anything particularly good i should read on the km backup, Malefact?
22:36:11 Malefact The Party thread is quite good.
22:36:21 LordShoe oh, i read that, yep.
22:37:00 LordShoe do you know how Pickle's doing with the petition?
22:37:18 KaM sorry for absence gentlemen.. got to go
22:37:25 Malefact It's finished with just over 1000 siggies.
22:37:30 Malefact Bye KaM! Take care!
22:37:38 LordShoe bye :)
22:37:45 KaM Aye, and you.. all. :)
22:38:01 LordShoe i mean, has he definitely sent it off?
22:38:06 KaM Enjoy S5 if I don't see you anon
22:38:12 Malefact I think so.
22:38:14 LordShoe has left the room
22:38:22 KaM has left the room
22:39:00 Billy1987-1994 ooh yes, just two days to go!
22:40:33 Malefact Indeedy!
22:43:50 Billy1987-1994 right, i said i couldn't stay long, as now i'd better be off! bye!
22:44:09 Malefact Bye!
22:44:23 Billy1987-1994 has left the room
22:45:21 Thanatos has joined the room
22:45:25 Thanatos Greetings, all.
22:45:37 Malefact Hi!
22:45:59 Thanatos Wot's bin goin' on 'ere, ven?
22:46:02 LordShoe has joined the room
22:46:13 Malefact WB!
22:46:16 Chris welcome back
22:46:18 LordShoe sorry about that
22:46:21 Thanatos Greetings, Lord Shoe.
22:46:29 LordShoe Hello, Thanatos.
22:46:46 LordShoe Oh, Billy left. :(
22:46:56 *Thanatos has just watched The Big Read.
22:47:11 *Thanatos is disgusted that Terry Pratchett didn't make it into the top 21.
22:47:38 LordShoe aww
22:47:59 Malefact An abomination! :)
22:48:12 Thanatos I was therefore torn between His Dark Materials and Nineteen Eighty-Four, and have just voted for the former.
22:48:25 Thanatos I was hoping to get the chance to vote for Night Watch.
22:48:41 Thanatos Although I'm a Harry Potter fan, I'm not pleased that they did so well.
22:49:25 LordShoe So are all the votes counted and it's finished?
22:49:40 LordShoe Or is it still going?
22:50:00 Thanatos You'll be able to vote for some time yet.
22:50:11 LordShoe ah, i see
22:50:31 Thanatos www.bbc.co.uk/bigread
22:50:36 LordShoe thanks
22:51:59 Thanatos Has anything interesting been going on here tonight?
22:52:38 LordShoe I don't think we've shattered the earth with our witty conversation.
22:53:17 *Thanatos continues to mumble angrily about Terry Pratchett's absence from the top 21.
22:53:21 LordShoe at least not yet. the shattering may have a delayed effect, however, so best to wait a few hours
22:53:39 Thanatos I can't understand it for the life of me - he's Britain's bestselling living author for goodness's sake.
22:54:19 LordShoe is it perhaps because people like so many of his books and there's not a few that really stand out? i don't know, i've only read a few of his.
22:54:57 Malefact Don't really like him - fantasy is not one of my pet loves.
22:55:28 Thanatos Four and a half (one was co-written by Neil Gaiman) were in the top 100, so that might explain it. "Night Watch" and "Guards! Guards!" both well deserved to be in the top 21.
22:55:29 LordShoe i think he's really good. somehow i just haven't managed to read more of his books.
22:56:12 *Thanatos must leave.
22:56:14 Thanatos has left the room
22:57:33 LordShoe Oh, bye :)
23:02:00 LordShoe hmm.
23:02:29 LordShoe anyone actually there?
23:02:37 Malefact Me!
23:02:41 LordShoe yay!
23:05:05 LordShoe sorry, was just writing something. :)
23:06:23 Malefact That's OK.
23:06:40 Malefact One of your theses on the main forum? :)
23:07:00 LordShoe teeehee
23:07:07 LordShoe no, not this time
23:07:26 LordShoe i'm not posting there much, noone else seems to post and replies.
23:07:53 LordShoe i guess i'm just tiresome. i've been posting in a few other places, and getting together some stuff to help sometime so a website for something
23:08:08 LordShoe *someone do a website for something
23:08:34 Malefact You got replies to your Dungeon rules thread. :)
23:08:42 LordShoe i did, yep
23:08:54 LordShoe and i've replied to myself twice, teehee
23:09:05 Malefact And when you put your opinion forward, the arguement is usually so well-wrought that replying to it is pointless.
23:09:11 LordShoe LOL
23:09:21 LordShoe oh, flattery will get you everywhere, teehee
23:10:03 Malefact Well, either that or the post is so bleedin' long that no-one can be bothered to plough through it. ;)
23:10:05 LordShoe the rules have been quite fun to think up, actually
23:10:08 LordShoe rawr
23:10:17 LordShoe such rudeness, teehee
23:10:30 LordShoe well, noone can accuse me of spamming with lots of one line posts.
23:10:32 Malefact I giveth and taketh away. :)
23:10:41 Malefact Ahem, no. :)
23:10:48 LordShoe i do like to try and say something.
23:11:10 LordShoe i got a couple of people im me last week saying how they loved reading my in character babble. i was so touched.
23:11:21 Malefact :)
23:11:27 Malefact Who were they?
23:11:39 LordShoe i mean on aim
23:11:54 LordShoe not sure if they're even active posters on the forum.
23:12:12 Malefact Ah.
23:12:14 LordShoe they must read it, i guess
23:12:20 Malefact Have you got Messenger?
23:12:27 Malefact Either MSN or Windoze?
23:13:02 LordShoe no, i don't use them. i have 3 aim account, i find that's enough to cope with lol
23:14:01 Malefact Fair enough. :)
23:14:37 LordShoe pity in a way there's not just one service that everyone uses
23:15:29 Malefact The uni computers have a program called Trillian that supports almost all services.
23:16:38 LordShoe nodnod
23:17:39 Malefact MSN, AIM, ICQ among others.
23:18:39 LordShoe I used to use ICQ but generally I convince people to use AIM instead. :P
23:20:30 Malefact1 has joined the room
23:20:35 Malefact1 Sod it!
23:20:38 LordShoe Teehee
23:20:41 LordShoe *comfies*
23:22:34 Malefact has left the room
23:25:37 LordShoe okies, afk a few minutes, just got to make some phone calls.
23:26:10 Malefact1 OK.
23:31:24 LordShoe rawr
23:32:01 Malefact1 Hi!
23:32:26 LordShoe Hi!
23:33:04 Malefact1 Sorry, my automated conversation-maker reset itself for no reason.
23:33:10 LordShoe ACTION is waiting for someone to appear on AIM.
23:33:15 LordShoe teehee, that's okay
23:33:38 LordShoe you can be smalltalktastic
23:34:00 Malefact1 Tell me more about I can be smalltalktastic
23:34:24 LordShoe I don't know. I've never been it. I hear it's a dangerous thing to do.
23:34:38 Malefact1 Can you elaborate on that?
23:34:40 LordShoe Like trying to take a bone from Festus.
23:35:12 Malefact1 That's interesting.
23:36:48 Malefact1 OK, I'm back! Did you get on well with my conversation simulator?
23:37:17 LordShoe No, it's rubbish. You should destroy it, lest all mankind discover the awfulness of it. ;)
23:37:42 Malefact1 A few modifications needed, then. :)
23:38:01 Chris two days and counting before Bliss
23:38:08 LordShoe *clap*
23:38:29 LordShoe Will you come and talk about it on the KM forum, Chris?
23:38:42 Malefact1 Good idea! :)
23:38:53 LordShoe when it gets started :)
23:39:06 LordShoe it'd be cool to have lots of people giving their thoughts
23:39:17 Malefact1 Instead of just one or two. :)
23:39:20 LordShoe even Malefact.
23:39:46 Chris quite possibliy, but it'll have to be tommorow if i'm about
23:40:02 LordShoe nodsie
23:40:18 Malefact1 I haven't added much to episode discussions because I haven't had access to Challenge until very recently.
23:40:21 Chris I think fantastico
23:40:31 Malefact1 That hasn't stopped my count approaching 1000, though. :)
23:40:58 Malefact1 Seriously, please feel free to post as much as you want about it.
23:41:00 LordShoe we haven't talked much about episodes in ages
23:41:12 LordShoe Yes, go ahead. :)
23:41:43 LordShoe I've got a few other people who've promised to contribute once it starts.
23:42:18 Malefact1 And I'm looking forward to joining in on Tuesday morning. :)
23:43:16 LordShoe I think seeing that series again may make some people change their minds on certain things.
23:43:20 LordShoe But we'll see.
23:43:49 LordShoe I'm looking forward to it. It's nice when there's episodes being shown to propmpt discussion.
23:43:55 Malefact1 Well, series 5 saw an awful lot of changes.
23:44:12 Malefact1 It will probably seem a bit tame only because of the greater success of series 6.
23:44:16 LordShoe I do hope we get another 15 Lord Fears, like I suggested.
23:44:31 LordShoe yep, i think so. some of the introductions look a bit unsettled in S5.
23:44:41 LordShoe people will notice that this time around.
23:45:06 LordShoe i mean the new characters
23:45:33 LordShoe some are a lot better than i remembered tho. rewatching it, elita actually makes me laugh a lot. i used to despise her.
23:45:51 Chris bye everyone
23:45:54 Chris has left the room
23:45:56 Malefact1 Bye!
23:46:23 Malefact1 I remember hiding behind a pillow whenever a Causeway came along.
23:46:31 LordShoe teehee

23:49:07 Namenthus and a magical fruit
23:49:09 *Malefact refrains from making jokes about shoehorns
23:49:18 LordShoe A magical fruit?
23:49:26 Namenthus OMG!
