I'm pretty sure it's technically impossible for a man to drive that without having their balls chopped off first.

Does any one have a Logical/Rational Explanation for this?

Last night my Mum & I were off to bed (separate rooms of course, y'nasty!). Before we went up the stairs, I had to quickly go into the lounge just to switch off the TV. So my Mum was left standing in the kitchen by the stairs. So I turn off the TV and then my Mum comes into the lounge and says to me 'I just heard a cat meowing at me'. Now this was very odd.

There was no way that a real cat could of meowed at my Mum. There are no pets/cats in our house. Also our kitchen is quite large, and the outside walls are a very long way away so if it was outside you wouldn't be able to hear it. I asked my Mum what sort of meow this was, and it was a regular 'attention seeking' kind of one. Super clear. Not like a loud shriek/cry. I thought it may have been a cat shriek/cry from outside, and that's why my Mum could hear it in the kitchen. Y'know, how cats fight? But it wasn't. Just a regular meow, that no way could have been heard from outside.

This was quite disturbing to us. I had a cat, who sadly died about a year ago. In the house. I tried my best to rationalize the situation. I said, oh it was probably the noise of me walking into the lounge to turn off the TV. I said to Mum, 'are you sure it was a meow, not just a noise that sounded like one?' - My Mum was 100% it was a meow. My Mum isn't a liar either! It was enough to bring my Mum to tears, because even though it's been over a year our cat was very special to us.

We hadn't even been thinking about the cat as of late, so it's not one of those 'oh they just died, so you're stressed and hearing/seeing things'. This is probably well over a year after it happened.

I couldn't find a rational explanation, and that actually scared me.

Thoughts? - and has anyone else had an experience like this with an animal/pet?

I heard a cat meow last night too, but there was no cat, and my kittens had, sadly as well, only recently (in February and August) disappeared.

Maybe it was one of those 'mysterious noises from the sky' that people have heard round the globe.

Or possibly one from outside. I dunno, though, could've been anything.

I doubt you checked his balls (and I hope you didn't).

Okay guys, I'm really gonna do this now. I'm gonna start being more productive with art, animation, and video game development. I just purchased a new laptop (an ASUS Laptop that has an intel Core i7 and a NVIDIA Geforce GTX graphic card) and a new Intuos Creative Pen & Touch Drawing Pad. This way I'll be able to create much more content. I'm also gonna take up 3D modeling as well, so wish me luck with this!

Sweeeeeet.

That kind of laptop should be enough for digital drawing/painting I guess. Good luck :)!

Good luck Brad!

As for roles' cat incident, I can't think of anything, I'm afraid.

I'd recommend getting a 3d mouse if you're going to do that.

Should be perfect for games too! And we can get the Podcast idea going.

Hm, so this is a GTX GPU, not just a GT, I'm assuming that means you have a GTX 750+/850+?

I speak with a lot of hobbyist/professional 3D artists on a regular basis, and I've never met a single one with a 3D mouse. :winkgrin:

I can confirm, at least as a regular CAD Software user (although I'm mainly using CATIA and Solidworks for mechanical engineering purposes): a reguler mouse is enough, as a combination of two buttons enables you to move around the space where you are designing your stuff. 3D mouses are like 3D printers: they are great for professionals and are made for a very specific use. I don't think Brad', as he said, will make an optimal use of it for the amount of money he would have to invest into it.

I didn't even know a 3D mouse existed.

From what I searched, it's a 751. I'm not one for specs and just purchasing this I was really overwhelmed. I tried TF2 and it looks amazing, so it's good enough for me.

That's a great broken image, Dandy.

By the way, I totally need to "buy" Flash Professional CC and Photoshop to make art again. Anyone know how I can get them for a "very,very low price"?
