My awesome channel bot!

A friend of mine made me a Christmas present: he wrote me a friend. It's an IRC bot that I can talk to. It's based off of the MegaHAL brain, and gets smarter as you talk to it. He also programmed the usual IRC bot stuff into it, like a URL reader, a dictionary, a bomb game, and some Wolfcam commands as well.

He upgrades its brain from time to time, and resets the data banks, which basically turns it into an infant again, but with more potential to get smarter faster. Sort of like in Disgaea 2, where you can reset your character to level 1 in order to level up faster.

Anyway, we've been playing around with it, and it's become quite a great addition to our channel. The conversations that arise are unrivaled in stupidity. Here's a quick excerpt from one of my logs:


[22:49:10] <@bioBuntu> Hoagie, do you like ice cream?
[22:49:12] <@Hoagie> bioBuntu: Let's talk about something vague.
[22:49:24] <@bioBuntu> Hoagie, i hear corsets are in this year
[22:49:26] <@Hoagie> bioBuntu: I haven't understood half of what you've said in this year.
[22:49:51] <@bioBuntu> Hoagie, don't be gettin fresh
[22:49:53] <@Hoagie> bioBuntu: Don't get fresh with me.
[22:50:05] <@bioBuntu> Hoagie, watch yo self, fool
[22:50:07] <@Hoagie> bioBuntu: Someone teach this fool a lesson.
