Ah... I'm pretty sure most of you will remember me, since it wasn't that long ago and I wasn't overly inactive, but I used to be on MMM all the time...
I'm just making this thread because I kind of need to say this somewhere where someone can relate. I really miss the matrix.
I joined when I was much younger, almost a kid, and I didn't know much at all back then (not that I do now...), and the Matrix really taught me a lot of things. For example, before joining MMM, I'd type, as Xero'd say, like a sped, hah...
I also learnt a lot of english, it being my second language.
MMM improved my taste in games, music, humor, and even my taste in people. It made me feel part of something.
Back in the day MMM was about the only important thing on the internet to me. (Then later came porn and after that social networking. Boo.)
I'd literally spend hours on the forum. Every once in a while, I'd even go to Mchat and go around it just to see it (I was never around when Mchat was all the rage, I came a little bit after that). And I actually never found anything similar to Mchat on the internet.
Maybe I'm idealizing it since it was an important part of my childhood (Childhood?) the same way I remember Diablo II graphics as good as Skyrim's... But you guys, and some people who won't read this, are probably going to be forever imprinted in my memories. It sounds kind of silly, but I'm sure when I'm like 60 or whatever, I'll be sitting in some lawnchair and randomly say "Man, MMM was the #####." or something...
I don't know. I'm not sad or anything, I guess the forum died along with the series, and I don't think I'd truly bring it back if I could since it would never be the same... But yeah... That's all.
Thank you all for the good times.

I'm just saying that a tablet is cheaper than a tablet monitor.
Not really. Not all of them. The tablet monitor on it's way to my place (Yiynove MSP19U) is about the going rate of a tablet PC. Regardless I only said that to clarify, because I forget that when I say "tablet" most people think of a touchscreen device. I wasn't really pitting them against each other, but if I was going to...How many tablets can actually be USED as a tablet monitor? Is it just a matter of software? I mean, I can bet that the technology is more... better with the tablet monitors, but is it possible to create some sort of crappy simile with like an iPad or a Samsung Touchmeplease 2.0?
Yes, and you're correct; It's crappy. Nah actually, it's only crappi er. A few people I know and work with have made some incredible things on iPad 4 or Galaxy Note 10.1 but it is a few, and they are insanely good even among the mega talented. Basically John's right in that you need the right software or apps or whatever, but with a lot of them you're missing pressure sensitivity and without that it's worthless. HOWEVER there's a lot of ways to fix that issue, it just ends up costing a bit more, like for special pens and stuff. I did a lot of research into this recently and I'm probably gonna make a big Facebook post all about the process when this monitor comes in this week, but I polled a bunch of animators and other artists I know to help me make a decision. In the end I went with Yiynova MSP19U tablet monitor, as I said earlier. The reviews for this thing are incredible, it's making huge waves in the tablet monitor scene mainly for two reasons; 1) It's actually much more responsive than a Cintiq (WACOM's tablet monitor, the leading standard). 2) It's about 1/3 the price, toppling the monopoly. That leaves me with enough money to get a tablet PC with peripherals for drawing on-the-go and a substantial amount of scrill left-over than if I went with a Cintiq 22HD or 24HD. G. |

Facebook is also good if you read a lot of articles/news online. Generally, you can't read everything posted on the internet, so you just focus on a few blogs are news sites. But with Facebook, you can post interesting articles, and your friends will also do the same. Often times you and some friends will be interested in the same thing, and so you can get a lot of information that way without have to wade through useless crap.
That said, you do get a lot of ##### like game-invitations, ads, people "liking" things when in fact they probably never did (it's just Facebook advertising), etc. You can control this somewhat with your feed-options; otherwise, you just learn to ignore this and search for the important stuff.
