I was just talking to my pal Mike Rooth about these cards last night. He has done a ton of work for Rittenhouse in the past but wasn't available to work on the Valiant set. He's pretty bummed about it.

So, I just noticed the little Tapatalk logo on your picture Rufus, and then I checked my Tapatalk app. You just changed my life! I had no idea you could just attach a picture natively in Tapatalk. I'd been taking a picture, uploading to Photobucket, and then copying the link into Tapatalk. I feel like a total moron now.

I don't often upload pictures, but when I do, I upload with Tapatalk.

Seriously though, I speak the truth. Tapatalk is awesome and I hate trolling boards that aren't Tapatalk compatible.
Unfortunatly the two big GI Joe boards (Hiss Tank and YoJoe) aren't Tapatalk compatible.

Tapatalk is the reason I'm able to read and post so much. It is awesome. I cry when a board I want to interact with isn't compatible. Especially since my phone's browser sucks. I mostly post on here and XDA, so I'm good. I think it should be a law that forums are compatible.Carson wrote:lorddunlow wrote:So, I just noticed the little Tapatalk logo on your picture Rufus, and then I checked my Tapatalk app. You just changed my life!

Depluto introduced me to tapatalk at SDCC. I couldn't figure out how he was posting pictures so quickly. I still find using an internet browser easier to read the site, but for pictures it's the way to go.lorddunlow wrote:So, I just noticed the little Tapatalk logo on your picture Rufus, and then I checked my Tapatalk app. You just changed my life!

At least you're not alone in your moronitity.

The bad thing with me is that I've been using Tapatalk for over a year, and I actually installed and use another app to post pictures via Tapatalk. I had no idea Tapatalk would host images for you! It's right there in the menu when you post.Blood of Heroes wrote:Depluto introduced me to tapatalk at SDCC. I couldn't figure out how he was posting pictures so quickly.

Re: 2013 Valiant Preview Sketch card thread
These cards are amazing.
So tempting to buy a pack.
All the cards have been great.
Like the Armstrong.
Cannot believe the original sketches and colours on such a small space.
Usually things are scaled down.
Their was one Phantom artist who produces artwork in minture and it was enlarged but I can not recall who.
So how is going to ask justice41 first to work on a board project?

I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

Totally off topic. What version of Tapatalk do people use?
