Playing with my new toy

Direct link. I’m just taking a minute to play with my new Bamboo Fun Wacom tablet that I got for Christmas. Well, I got something else for Christmas that I returned, got a credit, and then got this.

  2. so can you load an image into photoshop and draw with the tablet over the image or do you have to make two layers and mush them together?

    I have a tablet also. It won’t take you too long to get used to it. You’ll be drawing like your ol’ average self again soon.

    If you can’t use it to enhance masturbation with your NVG’s, then it is useless. Might as well trade it for an Escalade.

    I can’t see your video in the state of New Jersey. You’re apparently banned here. Only 49 more states to go,

  10. What’s funny is I happen to know that this video was your 4th take, so you’re totally lying about the “I don’t like to practice” part where you only do it if you can get it on your first try.

    Also, how did it feel to lie about the date at the beginning, since you clearly didn’t record it on the 10th?

    Next time you should use a screen recording package and just dub your voice over.

    I was thinking about getting one ofthose for a while. I can’t quite remember why now. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything to do with drawing self portraits of myself with a large penis, but I could be wrong.

    I went through the same process with my WACOM. I played with it for an hour or so, but that was sitting in my living room chair, holding the tablet on my knees and the laptop on the ottoman.

    It might have affected my enjoyment of the system. ;-) If I ever get a new home computer, I can set it up properly… ;-)

    Am I the only one confused by the name Bamboo Fun? Or am I drunk.
    Either way…your penis seems to have shrunk in that picture. I’m so sorry. Do you need a hug? :hug:

    I have two wishes about this post:
    I wish I was artistic enough to warrant a cool Wacking Off Table
    I wish I had the bandwidth to actually watch streaming video

    I know, I know, I can wish in one hand and…

    Cool. I didn’t see the artistic quality drop that you were alluding to, though. Because, really, how much quality was there to lose?

    It’s been years (and I mean that in the decade count) since I’ve used a tablet. That’s pretty cool.

    And while some people would say your drawings look like they were done by a child, It appears you have some sort of drawing abilities.

    I was just looking at one of those tablets the other day at the Office Depot near me that’s going out of business. Even at 20% off, their price was too much. 50% off would be a much better deal.

    “How hard is it to draw a fucking circle, huh?”

    I really don’t know why I found that to be so hilarious. But I did. I’m still laughing.

  27. I open my Google Reader and see the subject heading beside ‘Avitable’ and it says “Playing With My New Toy”… damn but I was disappointed to see if was just a graphics tablet… :P
