Thanks for taking the time to provide your insight.
And yeah, in 2008 I burst into tears at my desk in a class when I couldn’t figure out how to extrude a polygon. It can feel pretty crazy jumping into a new medium and being hopeless all over again. But we all learn; my classmate was a then 45-year old ex-Special…

What I mean is that I have never been good at getting found photography to mesh together well. The placement of perspective etc, I lose self-direction. I’m also just simply terrible at photoshop and cannot paint on a tablet the same as I do on paper, would love a cintiq; cant justify the cost for personal use.
And…

A friend of mine has been drastically improving his own concept art using that photo technique. I was always uncomfortable with it; sometimes can feel difficult seeing the bigger picture with an ugly mash of photos, but so many people pull it off so well.
Take note of the detail elements and how the image is usually…

Interesting, I remember my 1200's had that little ground-wire fork which clearly this model does not come with. I did a tiny bit of reading: the phono pre-amp can be turned off but then you lose the grounding because it runs through there. So a ground needs to be built into it to clean up the signal when disabled.
I…

I was looking at that, I thought the pre-amp was an optional switch.
But if that is the case, a real shame.

For the $110 it looks pretty good. Have not tried it myself though.
I am glad all of these still have their standard RCA outs and are not strictly USB.

I like this terminology.
Was uncomfortable saying “clone”, especially since Audio-Technica is one of my go-to brands for good commercial-grade and mid-range.

Can confirm Crosley’s are abysmal junk.

Aaaand the reviews are off the charts. You can literally scratch DJ with these just like the classics. I may have sold my decks but I never sold the vinyl.

Wait. Holy moly Audio-Technica is making Technic 1200 direct drive clones that are both analog, USB, and under $300!?!?!?!?!
SIGN ME THE F UP.
I sold my 1200's along with it’s mixer about 6 years ago and it STILL pains me.

“Canada Goose jackets—as they kill two birds for rich New Yorkers with one stone”
misread this over and over despite my chronic overuse of the “two birds one stone” metaphor; cant handle my own medicine, apparently.

Before simply attempting to continue reading, (which would have solved my confusion) I thought to myself:…

So to add to that concept.
I have never failed (at a work task), at least not inescapably.
And it is the most terrifying thing to grow older anticipating it’s eventuality.

I was being a bit exaggerated and harsh, but anyone that in hindsight looks back on their mid-20's claims that they thought they “could shit rainbows” knows damn well they probably painted a real good picture of very realistic talents without understanding the risk of offering everything they are capable of.…

My Proteus scroll wheel died the other day after several years of loyal service (dont fret, I do not beleive quality of the product was the issue. This may be the aftermath of several strategically dropped cat puke strikes over a span of 3 years)
On my trip to a nearby Best Buy I felt a sickening in my stomach at the…

Executive Producer of a high profile property at age 25.
WOW.
You know, I wish my shitty 25 year old ego was that good at bullshitting to the top. It obviously did him good in the future; take the dumb risks while you’re young, I guess.
His realization that he was missing all of the support he had at Looking Glass is a…

Would this mean Rainier too?
In Canada both Old Milwaukee and Rainier are brewed in the same facility. One day I bought a 6-pack of Old Mil and the lady at the register said the Rainier is $2 cheaper and is actually the same beer re-branded for the younger audience with a higher price-tag. So out of my curiosity I…

Primer was a fantastic movie that was presented to me in what I firmly believe is the only way to show a person this film: dont explain, describe, say anything about it. Just sit your guest down and watch it with them.
I had no idea what was going on and when I started to second guess myself as to what I thought was…

I empathize your love for the rocktronica spawn soundtrack. While I do not recall the Spawn soundtrack, The Matrix soundtrack was my first CD when cassettes started to phase out.
Ministry- Bad Blood; Rob Zombie- Dragula Electronic remix (hell, we used this for a mandatory group dance assignment we had in PhysEd grade 9)…

Definitely improves the rating of the test.
*wicked-sick crash, parts flying everywhere, pyrotechnics.
Panel of Judges gives 9.6/10
That’s what the rating is for, right?

That looked more like a fly in front of the camera ( I checked it a few times and there seems to be quite a few bugs in the fog of the stadium lights)
I wish there was audio, people described a grinding sound which could be a damaged tail-rotor drive-train. I was initially wondering if it was a bird-strike, that…
