 Getter404: It's like Aeronautica Imperialis, but with actual manufacturer support!
SaxPython: F-15s in Space.
 thrythlind: I once explained to a newbie to RPGs at a convention that RPGs were like you playing makebelieve as a kid but with rules in place partially so the play doesn't get interrupted by people saying "uh uh you missed" "No I didn't, you missed!"

 thrythlind: then I added "And also occasionally you roll an arbitrarily good number and get to go 'ooooo'"
 thrythlind: Later in the game she got a nat 20 and went "oooooo" and the table erupted into "one of us one of us"
 bobokiddo: blood bowl when?
 Getter404: Battletech with Alpha Strike rules is *somewhat* speedy

 Dog_of_Myth: cool technology
 spinebustertee: that RULES
 ShaneLeeAtk: Sick!
 Gekyouryuu: IMPORTANT NOTE: do not snap your ships. it will likely take much glue to fix, if possible
 tehfewl: Hey thats pretty good .wav
AMuseOfFirebane: Tim Curry voice, SPAAACE
kusinohki: I will once again request space alert and Sentinels of the Multiverse.  I honestly think the LRR crew would have a blast with either
 iiieye: What was the ship based 40k called again?
kusinohki: battlefleet gothic??
 PharaohBender27: https://clips.twitch.tv/ResilientGlamorousFungusCoolStoryBob-4qHTcYOQhtgSyFZ-
 iiieye: Yes thank you
Despoiler98: Dropfleet Commander is the spiritual successor to Battlefleet Gothic, developed by the same guy after he left
 Dog_of_Myth: The Klaw!
 Gekyouryuu: @kusinohki a friend of mine, the GM at my LGS, LOVES Sentinels, and will play it with people at any given opportunity. I always have a blast playing Absolute Zero
 hiFunko: Roll 3+ to Punch it, Chewie
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I'll GET YOU NEXT TIME, GADGET
  QuixoticScrivener: Need more Vespeen Gas!
 RatherLargeToad: Praise Cube
kusinohki: AZ is one of my faves from enhanced edition.  very glad he got buffed a little for definiative
 thrythlind: @Gekyouryuu @kusinohki I've suggested this a few times... I keep hoping that Definitive Edition will get a digital edition
 RockPusher: Ramming Speed!
 BorealMage: Oh, Ben's ship is just a Battlebot
 thrythlind: I've been playing a lot of solo Sentinels and would love to play with my Australian friends
kusinohki: Handelabra (enhanced edition video game devs) have announced they're are going to do definiative edition, but I haven't seen anything resembling a timeline sadly
 thrythlind: le sad
 iiieye: @borealmage cpt shredderator
 betweenmyself: Computer, locate Commander Ben! “Commander Ben is not aboard the Scarab KLAW Interceptor.”  *dramatic music swells* TO BE CONTINUED…
 definenull: wowee wawa what is this overlay?!?

 BorealMage: This game seems sweet
 serramarkov: 167 stitches cast on, let me not drop a stitch and get this baby blanket knit!
 betweenmyself: Cool background effect…  So much for my expertly detailed fleet of lime green ships. *cries in the corner*
   LoadingReadyRun:  how's the music volume?
kusinohki: just call them 'stealth ships'
 betweenmyself: @loadingreadyrun sounds fine to me
 BorealMage: @betweenmyself They've got cloaking devices
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Whoa!  🤯. What's this play surface about?
 Gekyouryuu: Itano
 Getter404: Itano
 BrowneePoints: Itano Circus ye
 ElektroTal: Dude, Macross is literally my favorite anime
 Gekyouryuu: *tips fedora* M'Robotech
 Gekyouryuu: 
 putz12a: Macross Missile Massacre
 BrowneePoints: that thing where the missiles go FASHOOO and the Ship/Mech narrowly avoids them
 couchboyj: Entire ship is missile
 LordZarano: The 0 gravity equivalent of chest high walls
 ElektroTal: i will talk macross and robotech for unbelievably long stretches of time
 PharaohBender27: Never seen Macross, but I know it has a banger theme song
Shadowsoflife: o/
 BrowneePoints: Put THAT in your Chassis and smoke it!
 Gekyouryuu: @PharaohBender27 I've actually seen very little Macross, but I HAVE seen the english dub of Macross+ where the main character is played by Brian Cranston
 red_shoes_jeff: We do?
 Meyari: it must be very quiet?
 betweenmyself: it seemed more audible a minute ago when Paul asked, think it got to a quieter portion of the track?
 ElektroTal: macross plus is phenomenal. the best short story in anime.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Is the play surface a green screen type effect, or is there an electronic surface in the studio?
 hiFunko: Love the green screen table effect, that's classy
 Dog_of_Myth: It is a green screen
 James_LRR: we’re classy as fuck
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Ty
 betweenmyself: @thedepthandbreadthofseth green screen, should be able to see it in the wide shot at the bottom of the screen
 PharaohBender27: @Gekyouryuu Huh, never realized Cranston did anime dubs. TIL.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Ahh, ty @betweenmyself .  Had to turn my phone.  😅
UWDJohn subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 66 months!
 Gekyouryuu: @PharaohBender27 I don't know how many he's done, but he was Isamu in Macross+, Fei Long in an older Street Fighter animated movie, and did voice work for monsters in Power Rangers (it's why Billy, the Blue Ranger's last name is Cranston)
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, UWDJohn! (Today's storm count: 11)
 thrythlind: it's really cool
 hiFunko: Time to bust out those 90s Warhammer skills of surreptitiously holding the measuring tools up to the table to sight in the ranges
 Gekyouryuu: @ElektroTal I can agree with this. for sure Sharon Apple has to have been influential to some degree, also, yes?
Metric_Furlong: looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow
 PigmyWurm: you can do the flip from BSG
 Gekyouryuu: @Metric_Furlong "she's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro"
Chesul: Oh cool, just noticed that Cams missiles can't be fired if the enemy is too close.
 thrythlind: the number of zero pilots that apparently mistook the Hellcat for its predecessor and got killed trying tricks that didn't work anymore
   LoadingReadyRun:  This overlay is not perfect system, but hopefully it will work for the stream tonight. If this becomes a regular thing, I have ideas for how it could be nicer 
 couchboyj: I assume this green screen tech will be useful for more than just this stream.
 thrythlind: also the number of times apparently that Zero pilots decided to take their mostly unarmored armed stunt planes and go jousting with a flying tank

 WitchyTQ: the way i wanna run in there and slam my tattoos down to see if they turn into space
 BrowneePoints: Activate your WHAT
 Gekyouryuu: hey, TQ
 red_shoes_jeff: TOS?
 NonUniqueGuy: I need an adult
 PharaohBender27: @WitchyTQ 
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @witchytq 🤣🤣
 BrowneePoints: @WitchyTQ you're a child of stardust, so technically they already ARE space 
 betweenmyself: Magic of Gathering rules, gotta tap that cockpit to activate it 
 thrythlind: @WitchyTQ go for it
 WitchyTQ: @thrythlind absolutely not thats rude af
 thrythlind: sorry, was trying to participate in the joke
Metric_Furlong: gotta be careful about someone getting fully behind active you've activated your cockpit
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I think that depends where said tattoo is located.
 WitchyTQ: i was saying it more jokingly dont worry
 thrythlind:  
 thrythlind: ugg... why two emojis?
 DeM0nFiRe: 
 Gekyouryuu: @thrythlind it thinks you're The Fonz?
 red_shoes_jeff: @thrythlind One for each hand?
 PharaohBender27: Man, you can even see the contrail of those missiles in space! 
 hiFunko: oh you actually place missiles, that's wild
 dumbo3k: Fire ze Missiles!
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Only 4? Anything less than 400 is so mundane
 thrythlind: "I'm gonna blow myself up! Don't blow yourself up! I'm gonna blow myself up! Don't blow yourself up! I'm gonna blow myself up! Don't blow yourself up! MISSILES!"

 Gekyouryuu: huh... it just occurred to me, the big symbols on the left of Ben and Cam's nameplates on the bottom of the screen look a bit like the eye parts of modern Kamen Rider masks. in particular, Cam's reminds me of Cross-Z: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kamenrider/images/c/c6/KRDCD-KamenRide_Cross-Z_Rider_Card.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1414?cb=20210711135312
 BrowneePoints: Venting? Pretty Sus
 Gekyouryuu: @dumbo3k "but I am le tired"
 betweenmyself: good thing I don’t run streams like this, or the game would constantly be interrupted by clips of Darth Vader from the Star Wars VHS board game 
 betweenmyself: projected onto the green screen backdrop of course
adept_nekomancer: If only those missiles knew where they weren't
 betweenmyself: tactile nubbins are a key part of solid game design after all
 PharaohBender27: Ah, the old' reacharound tactic 
 PharaohBender27: Reacharound cancelled
 betweenmyself: telescoping stands.  cool beans
 dumbo3k: @LoadingReadyRun The top down view looks really good! 
adept_nekomancer: Use the boost to get through!
 betweenmyself: Do a Barrel Roll!

 letfireraindown: @dumbo3k I absolutely agree with the top down green screen working well
 TehAmelie: is it just me who thinks "maneuver" should have an O in it?
Earthenone: that or manUwUver
 Darleysam: manoueverboard
 PharaohBender27: @TehAmelie I think the British spelling either has or had an o, maybe?
 Darleysam: @PharaohBender27 google confirms 'manoeuvre' is the UK spelling which, even as a stickler for UK spellings, feels like a lot
 thrythlind: hmm, will they come back with different ship designs?
 TehAmelie: My name is Truce. Truce Bullet

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, annoyedandconfused! (Today's storm count: 15)
 Dog_of_Myth: @thrythlind Looking at their website, there are 4 other ships
 TehAmelie: there's a joke about navel gazing in here
 betweenmyself: @darleysam I assume it’s designed with additional vowels to carry the load in case one should suffer a catastrophic failure
 thrythlind: @Dog_of_Myth neat
 TehAmelie: did you know? US English spelling standards were based on saving newspapers ink
 betweenmyself: @tehamelie and to think how much ink they could have saved by just inventing the internet several decades earlier 
 TehAmelie: ain't nobody got money to print all them "U"s, they said
 PharaohBender27: @TehAmelie Well that and Noah Webster wanting to make US English distinct
 betweenmyself: RIP mewspapers
 Darleysam: @betweenmyself always factor redundancy into your spelling
 betweenmyself: *or newspapers, if that floats your boat
 letfireraindown:  
 I_Am_Clockwork: 10000 Yay I was able to catch some new mini goodness live 
TheAinMAP: 
 betweenmyself: @darleysam enough letters to prop up a sinking Titanic.  “Hubris”?  No my dear fellow, it’s now spelt “Heoabryys”
   LoadingReadyRun:  thanks for the bits @I_Am_Clockwork
 TehAmelie: i always like a get out and push your spaceship joke
 gualdhar: I missed the first bit, what's the lore on these ships? Is Ben a creepy crawler again?
 Akaiatana: @gualdhar No lore, only fight
 Akaiatana: (presented)
 gualdhar: well, Mantis laser sounds an awful lot like insectoids, so it's brand-adjacent at least
 thrythlind: I watching this as the chill music from Spirit City plays
 Jillexie: Missile factory on board
Julian_Rogue: but I'm le tired
 Athelgar: "Zen FIRE ZA MISSILES!"
 mercano82: Too close for missiles, switching to guns.  Talk to me, Goose
 I_Am_Clockwork: "Luke, you've turned off your targeting computer... What's Wrong?"
 Twilight_Spark: Big Lie bracket hours.
Julian_Rogue: Pull in the mirrors!
 thrythlind: the fins had to maneuver in order to be used ^_^
Julian_Rogue: So is this on a TV or is it a green mat?
 Dog_of_Myth: Green screen
 red_shoes_jeff: Green mat
 micalovits: Green mat, you can sorta see it on the buttom
Julian_Rogue: Oh yea I see what ya mean I just wasn't fully paying attention
 micalovits: As always, Paul is an overlay wizard
Julian_Rogue: wouldn't this be an underlay 
 KeytarCat: That'sa why it required wizardry!
   LoadingReadyRun: The moving stars in the background kind of mess it up, but it would be cool to take a screenshot of this vod after every move and make a timelapse of the ships maneuvering around eachother
  Juliamon: if they were playing on a screen the camera would not treat it well, it'd look awful
 niccus: is the background an exact loop? you might be able to lapse it still
  Juliamon: see also: any time we've seen the life tracker ipads on screen
 letfireraindown: The time lapse idea still sounds great

 Gascitygaming: love the slurpee bet
 Gascitygaming: does it also cover frostees? 
voslan: an X-Wingesk game without being X-Wing? hecken yeah
 micalovits: Now kiss!
 betweenmyself: *cue Babylon 5 dialogue about telling which side lost a ship by the color of the on-board atmosphere’s combustion*
 FITorion: flies through the explosion
 MacbethSeemsSus: And so Cameron gets the space parking spot.
 Getter404: 2 v 2?
 Lord_Hosk: If you want more things active you would love X-wing
   LoadingReadyRun: @niccus the background *is* a ~15sec loop so doing the timelapse while keeping the background moving properly would be theoretically possible

 betweenmyself: Subathon part deux next week, eh?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: So are the ships modular? Do they sell booster packs?
 KeytarCat: @Laserbeaks_Fury ...was that a pun?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I didn't walk away from it, no
 spo8n: the table is green, not space?
 Obos_TAB: Almost bought all the Star Wars Armada at my local store today
 BigDaddyBland87: @spo8n right? I feel lied to
 Heckhoundbolt: hold up, you can alter the physical models?!
  Juliamon: That's the 'snap' part of the name.
 Obos_TAB: Seeing how this game has progressed over time has been neat
 Gekyouryuu: I imagine that's where the snap comes fro-
 Gekyouryuu: yeah, that
 spo8n: nails grow back!
 KeytarCat: @Heckhoundbolt That's the unique selling point!  This is such a cool game, I'm glad they're doing the build for round 2 on stream
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Anyone remember Centurions?
 Blakemcm: all missles then melee weapons.  is how i try to build any ship or gundam
 Gekyouryuu: so long as you have the base and the cards, who's to say that your star fighter is not, in fact, the Millenium Falcon, or an Mobile Suit Gundam?
  QuixoticScrivener: I sthere a points system for custom builds?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Man, remember making busted as hell Mechs for Battletech?

 aerohydra: isnt this supposed to happen next week?
Halinn: Stop talking and nobody bricksplodes
 hiFunko: I think owning lego is what keeps James working there, gotta feed the habit
voren_chalco: How much would drafting parts from a shared pool break setup?
  Juliamon: !schedule
  LRRbot: Want to know what's coming up? Check out https://loadingreadyrun.com/live for an interactive schedule, or http://lrr.cc/schedule for a Google Calendar version.
 betweenmyself: building Snap Ship Tactics via walkie-talkie instructions from the other room 
Halinn: @betweenmyself And then the two people who were relaying instructions on how to build have to play based on instructions via walkie-talkie
 kodalith: So like. Does each part have a points cost or something?
 raulghoulia: TBD Studio A Segment is my favorite LRR show.
 BorealMage: How heavy are they?
 Blakemcm: always a nice scifi touch
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Zero Mass Torpedo
 hiFunko: It's a sweaty world, and we just build in it
 KeytarCat: @kodalith Looks like it's part requirements.  Under the stats on the chasis card. Cam has 3 free spots
 KeytarCat: *and three required parts
  Juliamon: You can see better images of the cards here: https://cards.snapshipstactics.com/
 KeytarCat: 
 kodalith: @keytarcat ahhhh ok. I understand I think.  Seems really neat!!
 hiFunko: All the best ships have sideboards
 kodalith: Kinda yeah!
 kodalith: Or a White Star?
voslan: You should, BB5 first four seasons are amazing
 thrythlind: I've been watching JenLRossman do their first watchthrough of it and live-tweet it
voslan: don't watch season 5
 omdorastrix: Reebo and Zooty are my favourite
 thrythlind: watching someone else experience it for the first time is amazing
 KeytarCat: @voslan Oh good, that's when I fell off!
 kodalith: Zoot zoot
KWardJenx: Yes, looks more like a White Star to me. One of the Rangers' ships.
 thrythlind: Season 5 is fine
 RatherLargeToad: Zooty!  Zoot Zoot!
 omdorastrix: I hear R&Z are planning to make a game...  Wasteland Whitestar
 betweenmyself: how does the Kumite episode rank? 
 omdorastrix: You have to get the whitestar between earth and minbar and the ship pulls to the right
Bruceski: It's a TV series with a planned 5-year arc that (almost) stuck to the plan and ended when it wanted to. They rushed season 4 thinking they were gonna get cancelled, then didn't.
 thrythlind: it's just not as thoroughly tied in as the previous seasons because they were originally told they wouldn't get a 5th season and so they finished the story in season 4
 thrythlind: but there's lots of good season 5 episodes
 thrythlind: seasons 2-4 are top tier, season 1 and 5 are still better than most shows
  QuixoticScrivener: like a speedo jammer, but with more scarab claws
 RatherLargeToad: @bruceski They actually did get cancelled after season 4, but the show got rescued by a cable station so they had to come up with new plot for season 5
 kodalith: It has a ton of setup for all the other in universe stuff. Novels etc
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm telling you: Greeble Packs
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Easy money
 Athelgar: id bet that there could be some cool homebrew stuff made with a 3d printer
 KeytarCat: strafing in space good
 kodalith: Oooo yeah....
 Laserbeaks_Fury: It's funny, ships in Starfields are basically just a bunch of modules you slap together, and when you blow up an enemy ship, it just randomly breaks up the modules

 red_shoes_jeff: Catch the rest after work. See you in the VOD!
 Laserbeaks_Fury: is it always 6 modules?
 KeytarCat: have good work!
 kodalith: So I assume the game is always 1 v 1?
 thrythlind: @Laserbeaks_Fury so, like in FTL?
 KeytarCat: @Laserbeaks_Fury At least one has 8 https://cards.snapshipstactics.com/
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Would be multiplayer version be called a Wing Commander?
 kodalith: @laserbeaks_fury gods I HOPE so lol
 serramarkov: 2 rows done! So far, successful restart!
 Laserbeaks_Fury: ohh Sideslipping
  Juliamon: kodalith Apparently you can play with as many players as you have models
 kodalith: @juliamon but 1 model per player?
 KeytarCat: Long Game of one 6-player game
  Juliamon: I assume you could run multiples but it would be annoying trying to keep track of everything.

  Juliamon: Looking through the rulebook it does appear to be permitted to run multiple ships
 Lord_Hosk: Ben, I highly recommend you do all the damage to Cameron's ship before he can do all the damage to you.
   LoadingReadyRun: The rule book has scenarios and setups for multiple ships and AI controlled ships
 Lord_Hosk: Cameron, I highly recommend you do all the damage to Ben's ship before he can do all the damage to you.
  Juliamon: Questionable advice from Hosk as usual
 Electrodyne: Sweet playmat
 Lord_Hosk: Im helping
 RockPusher: Lord_Hosk is a strategic genius!
josh___something: hello gamers!, wait Ben is VENTING?! Sus
 KeytarCat: When I was playing my most recent space battler video game (Angels Fall First) I took mines and heavy missiles and played "defend the point".  I got really good at finding good mine points
 SoldieroFortune: !uptime
  LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:59:49.
 Electrodyne: I believe that when you open up with both barrels you must state "STAAAAND AND DELIVUH"
  QuixoticScrivener: @Electrodyne I'm a firen' mah lazer!
 KeytarCat: Oh, I thought we were talking at space scale, where an inch move in game is more like a mile
 KeytarCat: bonk
 jamesinor: Then you have to exchange insurance
 I_Am_Clockwork: ass blasting
 KeytarCat: Are the dice 0-8 and a crit?
 serramarkov: Blassting.
 thrythlind: did the missile get destroyed I may have missed it
   LoadingReadyRun: @KeytarCat yes, d10 with 0 as miss and 9 as crit
 KeytarCat: ty!
 KeytarCat: Can you use a module on the same turn you repair it?
josh___something: Svengin impact
 Twilight_Spark: I swear svengeance for what was done to my family.
 Electrodyne: Would you like to svenge on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar
 serramarkov: I'm so happy to hear Ben speak positively about himself! I want to hear more people do that!! 
 kodalith: So are these meant to be like Fighters or Capital ships?
 thrythlind: I believe in you Ben!
 thrythlind: I believe in you Cam!
 couchboyj: The ZTM Eleventy Three Heavy Missiles,  put sone respect on the name
 Gekyouryuu: @thrythlind now you're reminding me of a great pic I saw of someone in a shirt that says "I believe in you! I also believe in Bigfoot, so don't get too excited."
   LoadingReadyRun:  I've been playing Marvel Midnight Suns at home recently. The tactical combat and card actions in this kinda makes me want to play this as a video game

 BorealMage: Yeh
Orxolon: good evening every1
Cptasparagus: Sous Vide
 thrythlind: @Gekyouryuu I just reminded myself of a game of Illuminati where my sister and brother had a fierce bidding war over a group to influence and I was occasionally adding money to one side or the other... eventually my brother froze in the middle of placing another money unit, stared at the pile of money I'd poked him and our sister into spending... and said "Discordians"
Orxolon: WHAT IS THIS!?looks so cool
   LoadingReadyRun: Cori did a Play it Forward of Midnight Suns a while ago

 thrythlind: @MTGRanger I think it has something to do with the missile module he added to his ship?
 MTGRanger: @thrythlind interesting!
   LoadingReadyRun: @MTGRanger it's a pasive ability of his cassis
 thrythlind: last round Cam had a missile launcher that did 4 smaller missiles
Orxolon: i love this type of games,only know the star wars one
Orxolon: the stats at the bottom are victory points?
 thrythlind: the fun thing is the ships are modular models... like lego builds... so you can take different loadouts and builds with each chassis depending on what modules you add
 KeytarCat: Life and Evasion
Orxolon: cool,thanks
Orxolon: i think i'm catching up
Orxolon: he said XD

Orxolon: let's bring the Gundams XD
Orxolon: @KeytarCat oh,sorry if it came through as derogatory,i meant like:looks like it...question mark(cause idk)
 KeytarCat: Gundam, but a la Gurren Laggan, so you just use two chasis (chases?  Chasises?) and two loadouts

 thrythlind: Activate the Deathblossom!
 KeytarCat: @QuixoticScrivener That makes sense now that I know it
 KeytarCat: thank
Orxolon: as you know the key of victory is the elemnt of surpise
Orxolon: surprise!
TheAinMAP: 
Orxolon: and one falls when the sword is sheated
 Gekyouryuu: fun fact: that scene of two swords crossing, a beat, and then a MASSIVE blood explosion was due to an sfx malfunction
Orxolon: @Gekyouryuu tell me more
 KeytarCat: Now I want a samurai game where the objective is to get mutual destruction with the highest combo
 Gekyouryuu: @Orxolon the person in charge accidentally overpumped the blood sprayer, worried it wouldn't show up well, but it backed up and was delayed on release, then released way too much. they thought for sure they'd failed and Kurosawa would be mad, but he just nodded in approval.
 hiFunko: every game should have a ticking missile clock
Orxolon: @Gekyouryuu wooow,cool
 Gekyouryuu: so a moment that is iconic and referenced in damn near everything was an accident salvaged by actors staying in character
Orxolon: true proffesionals
 KeytarCat: @Gekyouryuu Love me a man who can recognize cool shit
 micalovits: Helps that no one knew how much was supposed to come out, so it was totally all planned
Orxolon: @KeytarCat i didn't say Rad yet XD

 thrythlind: very cinematic
 PharaohBender27: 
 KeytarCat: That was really cool
Orxolon: gg
 Twilight_Spark: How dare you imply America is less than honorable.
 Gekyouryuu: @hiFunko that's just reminding me, I rewatched a review video of Endless Space 2 today, and a System Destroyer fires a massive shot into a sun to turn it into a red giant and destroy a system... but it takes several turns for the shot to get there, so you just see it slowly crossing the map
 KeytarCat: @Twilight_Spark Yeah, it's time to be explicit about it! 
 Twilight_Spark: Fire zhe missiles!
 Gekyouryuu: @Twilight_Spark but I am le tired
 Twilight_Spark: Oh alright
 KeytarCat: A system that makes it easy to look cool is fun
 micalovits: But Cam, thats what 3d printing is for
