Not really. The two I used for my iPad weren’t great. One was rubber (which as you can imagine is a little counter intuitive when drawing) and the other was a paintbrush styled one (short fibres on the end, pretty much like a really small paintbrush). Actually the latter was pretty good, but if I were you I’d probably google it just to be sure you’re getting a good one.

I’ll check that out. Is there no eraser in this program? All I was able to find was an undo button.

There should be. I think it’s one of the brushes. I’ll check.

EDIT: Yup, my mac version has two erasers (hard and soft), they’re in the brush section. My iPad version had erasers in the brush section as well if I recall correctly.

Now I need to convince my wife to let me get a tablet :confused: Probably won’t happen until long after I dump a lot of money in H5:G and Destiny limited editions xD

Today is June 5th. As I am short on time, I’d like to provide today’s holiday list. I won’t be able to post the holidays on Saturday, and I may not be able to post them on Friday, so I’ll need to choose someone to fulfill this role while I have departed. First person to reply to this post and volunteer gets the link to the website I use. He/she will then be responsible for notifying the OT public about the holidays of the weekend. :wink:

Today’s holidays are:

Apple II Day
Hot Air Ballon Day
National Gingerbread Day
World Environment Day

I somehow launched a flaming Scorpion into the air in Halo 3 today. Maybe that’s a Hot Air Balloon? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oooo, pick me, Mr. Cizlin, pick me!
Waves hand in the air like that classic annoying student

World Environment Day… tosses napkin on floor. Picks it up and throws it in recycling I’ve done my part.

OK, but…there’s a catch. You have to find the link somewhere within thise post. Beware, it may not be visible in the posted form, but do not let this discourage you. :wink:

Oh man, checked back just in time before you could fix it…

But, for the heck of it, still couldn’t find it after I reloading page, though it was right in front of me… then I did. Clever…

The color tags screwed me over, but I fixed it…sadly, not quickly enough, though. My challenge for the other OT’ers is to find the link hidden within the post. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, Comic, you are the holiday guy for Friday and Saturday! :stuck_out_tongue:

I will wear this badge with great honor…

Anybody robs of my title, and I’ll… uh… no scope you in the next Halo game we play! (It’s hard to create decent warnings on forums…)

Well people are talking about programs and stuff. I use Microsoft paint and my finger. [:p]. Lately however I don’t feel I’ve been making good drawings.

Ugh I feel like such a mess and self centered for talking about it. I’ll just put it in spoilers. That way people won’t see it if they don’t want to.

Ugh. I feel like since I’ve stopped making friends and since AFDC happened I’ve been on this downward spiral in social interaction with certain people. Maybe it’s just me right now since I didn’t sleep but I feel so ugh. Why do I have to be so annoying? And it’s so annoying when I annoy people who I care about and all that. I don’t want to, I wish I wasn’t. Why am I such a mess? I do wonder how people can handle me. Maybe I think too much, or not enough, I don’t know. I’m a mess. Imagine having to deal with me on a more constant basis. The nightmare. I feel more and more convinced. I’m a fool, annoying fool ugh. I didn’t even sleep last night. I get in bad moods when I don’t sleep. Things start being weird. Or maybe jut more apparent. I don’t know. Okay, good bye. As for the other questions since my last post, things should be explained in due time.

Let’s change the topic. Yes yes. Much better idea, yes Erick. E3 approaches. Yes yes. It does. Okay, that is good right? Yes yes. I wonder what we shall see at E3. I remember watching E3 at school once, yes yes. I do. Okay.

Go away Érick. Yes yes. Good idea.

“Mr. Cizlin” is clever. :wink:

Hey Erick, if you don’t mind me asking, where are you from? (If you don’t feel comfortable answering, just ignore my post!)

GoG is competing with Steam with GoG Galaxy. It is optional but I will consider it. GoG could beat Steam if they play their cards right and don’t piss of their current community even more.

So much for the “5 Word Story” thread. :frowning:
Oh well. Time marches on.

So I just started using Steam and already have Spartan Assault but I can’t play it because it says the game is unavailable… anyone who knows how to work Steam know why?

> So I just started using Steam and already have Spartan Assault but I can’t play it because it says the game is unavailable… anyone who knows how to work Steam know why?

Talk to weird stealth. I don’t know squat about client hosted systems.

I don’t know much about steam (though I have it and use it regularly), but if it’s your mac that you’re attempting to play it on, that’d be your problem.

What about my mac? I just want to download “The Forest” and “Prop Hunt”. They look so fun.

Also has the update for Xbox One gone through? I have not had a prompt to download an update…
