I'm famous again!

Fuck yeah! I got myself in PC Gamer again in the 'Reader's Desks' section. Page 53 for anyone whose interested - and on my monitor is clearly the 5punk index page.

Incidentally, last time I was in for my beanbag headcrab I made a couple of years ago. I was going to ressurrect that thread but I couldn't find it.

Just make sure you don't try and cram it down a sink afterwards.

congratulations!
that's some fancy pants computer you got there, might i require what type of tablet you use?

Post by **Dog Pants** » December 18th, 2006, 21:23

Ummm, it's not an expensive one. Hang on while I dig it out...

I think it's called an Active XP Pen. Mrs Pants got it me for my birthday one year, but as yet I've only managed to draw a few zombies with it.

ok thanks for the info (thinking about buying one myself some day, therefore...)

ps: is the cockatiel as noisy as the ones we have, cause ours are noisy enough to keep you awake all night.

He's only noisy in the mornings when he thinks we're getting up. Apparently they're worse when there's more than one of them, but I think we got lucky with a relatively quiet one. He does bite though.

ours (2) where too noisy, so we made them a pretty giant outdoors cage thingy, complete with drainage system, completely tiled and central heating and light in the making. and it looks good too.

Yay! My brother-in-law has a little aviary with about two-dozen budgies in it. I'm happy enough with one cockatiel in the living room though.

we have one grey female, in the same colour as yours, and then there is a white male, who, when he gives a "speech" (he rants on and on about cockatielthings i guess) puts his rightpaw in the air, so the people who found him in their garage named him Dolf (from Adolf, you see what they did there?)

For a cheap and reasonable tablet you could do worse than this one: http://www.google.com/search?q=wacom+volito+2

Me and FatherJack have it and it does the job for non-serious stuff.

Very nice

Also where's this photo of the page from the magazine DP?

Yes, we demand scans!

Post by **Dog Pants** » December 21st, 2006, 22:24

So impatient

I'll get a shot of it tomorrow and I'll try and dig out the other one too.

Post by **Dog Pants** » December 22nd, 2006, 14:07

Here we go:

Hope I'm not breaking copyright too much with that. I couldn't find the other one because it's buried in the spare room somewhere.
