wow, that came out really great, start mass producing Mindchamber, cause if you make more than one ill be your first buyer

I think the A-bot could be the coolest thing ever seen. Like literally, EVER. It's a shame you can't find a visualizer though-- i agree, it seems like it ought to be easy to find such a thing.

I have never received a back-door pat from anyone i really admire... all the criticism and compliments I've gotten from my favorite artists were in reviews/bbs posts/userpage comments. Public places, essentially, and I'm happy about that... I think sending someone a compliment via PM might make it seem more personal or meaningful, but really, I'd rather have everyone see what they think.

Thanks for posting about that, I would never have thought about it otherwise.

I'd buy a mindchamber.

A cheap mobile phone could work? They have visulisers and mp3s.

Sorry, I can't think of anything

How to take a backdoor pat would probably depend on the situation. If you received one and you mention it in a blog post and the artist who gave the pat comments in it along the lines of "Yeah glad ya liked it lulz :P" then it would probably be fine. Good luck with the design too, sounds like a really interesting idea hope it works :)

This whole things is just so mind-blowing that I don't know what to say.

except...Good Luck!

I hope whatever you make comes out good!

silly-stungun-millie 2008-10-24 17:21:34

The main reason why I would do the backdoor pat thing is because if all you want to do is give a well intentioned one-line compliment and not spend half an hour analyzing all the little nuances and trying to figure out smart sounding words, you can just do that with a PM and not worry about your comment being marked "useless".

But then again, that leads to an inbox filled with one-line remarks. :/

Oh well, I see your point.

pitzwig 2008-10-24 17:27:58

Could you not use the one from that video and then plug some pretty big speakers in it? That would look great especially because of the nice, smooth look it had... Otherwise it would just be best to maybe use a cheap, pretty nice looking Mobile Phone and just buy some speakers? I dunno....

I'd love a "BackDoor Pat" but it's not likely I'll get one. But I am nearly finished with my Halloween submission and wouldn't mind a comment from you when I post it, good or bad... *wink* Lol...

Good luck, man!

I suspect this is too big for the a-bot figure you wanna make, but hey, why not scale it after this:
<a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/illuminated/8a5b/?cpg=ab">http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/illu minated/8a5b/?cpg=ab</a>

It's a t-shirt, a friend of mine has one of em. He's a DJ and when he plays in the dark it gets pretty damn cool. So, what it is - an equalizer that responds to sound in the room. I saw a drumset t-shirt once too, basically there was a drumset on the t-shirt with various pads underneath hooked up with pietzo mics, and then connected to a sample-player. It's simple technology to make yourself, sadly I don't know anything about creating electronics. Yet. ^__^

TheCriminalDuder 2008-10-24 17:46:04

Shit. You've convinced me to start reviewing stuff.
Good luck the the A-bot thing - it looks complicated as fuck to me. lol

Fawx 2008-10-24 17:48:50

Quite an interesting sketch ya got there.

sasukekiller 2008-10-24 17:50:40

NICEeee you should make mindchamber... TOYZ!!! and put em on teh sstore. i would buy it. I agree with the back door pats. my flashes suck but i want an awesome flash dude to at least tell me what to fix ya know??

Luis 2008-10-24 18:10:45

I guess im the bunch that feels like if i dont pm an artist he'll never read it.. or ill never follow up and see if he DID see it.. a PM just seems like the most direct way to sit someone down and say here this is what i have to say.

On the other hand i can see the logic behind it looking like youre embarassed to say it in public.

I wish there was a way where the P-bot could send you an email when someone on your favorite authors list has commented / reviewed/ whatever something related to you... maybe thats over the top stalker but meh the site is so large id hate to ignore my actual friends who take the time for me

awesomecooper 2008-10-24 18:17:25

why are you so awesome?

Wonchop 2008-10-24 19:46:50

How about you get the mentioned mp3 player and dissect it so it's just the screen, and wire the buttons to elsewhere on the bot. You kids like dissecting things, right?

NextToNothing 2008-10-24 19:52:13

that's a sick idea and I think that mp3 player would be sick even if its not full screen, I kinda like the idea of being able to see the name of the song and such maybe even prefer it.

NextToNothing 2008-10-24 19:52:54

sick sick sick sick sick, I should get an editor

ChuckDaKnife 2008-10-24 19:55:58

I'd seriously sell my grandma for that future A-Bot model

mongoid 2008-10-24 21:50:19

What kind of clay is it? It is the type that you have to heat with a lamp in order to mold? I had a buddy who used to make figurines for Lord of the Rings and what not, and I never got the name of that awesome stuff he used. The stuff he used would go rigid once it cooled to room temperature.

:-)

Tystarr 2008-10-24 23:41:47

Lol I think the looping thing might be what you have to do..wait, doesn't iPods have full screen visualizers?

Also, back door pats? Now that is just lame. Is that artist too good to post with everyone else?
