Microsoft Employees Disrupt Wii U Best Buy EventsRemember how Nintendo was showcasing some of their E3 games at participating Best Buy stores around the country? Well, apparently Microsoft employees have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"
However, the employees aren't getting what they hoped for. Most customers just start bashing the Xbox One in response. Seriously, Microsoft, the people attending these Best Buy Wii U events are people who are intimately familiar with the crap you pulled at E3. They ain't takin' your shit.
At first I thought this might just be a case of one really loyal Microsoft employee taking matters into his own hands (especially since the original source was /v/), but reports have come in from numerous Best Buy's around the country that indicate many Microsoft employees have ambushed the demo lines trying to persuade people to switch to the Xbox One.
Since so many reports have com

Please Pants Responsibly (Paper Notebooks FTW)

There are two ways to write a novel. Plotting (you make an outline, a plan, a roadmap if you will, and then you sit down and write it) and pantsing (you write "by the seat of your pants, throwing caution to the wind). So when I get asked if I'm a plotter or a pantser, I'm all like er, uh, hold on, let me? Pantser? I think? But I kind of, um, do planny things?
And it gets kind of awkward because in these inarticulate moments I have managed to confuse everyone including myself. And probably spilled a drink.
In recent discussions, however, I've had a bit of a revelation, silly as it is. I've realized that I -- like many writers -- am a plotter/pantser hybrid. And perhaps what I'm doing is something we could call Pantsing Responsibly. And, maybe, just maybe, I could share some of my responsible pantsing tips with other writers. Starting with paper notebooks.
Anyone can find a notebook. If there isn't alread

The Used Game ParadigmOver the course of this past generation I've been watching the video game market react to the way it's been forced to deal with increasing changes. I've come out against used game sales and even written a journal about boycotting GameStop because (like most people at the time) I believed they were the root cause of all the problems the video game industry has. But that's something I don't believe now as intently as i did then. From where I sit, piracy and used games sales are a problem, but not in the way game companies want us to believe that they are.
Used games are a good thing for consumers. We get to try games out, and if we don't like what we see or finish it early, we trade it in and try another title instead. It's a very good system for us since video game rentals are much harder to come by. Most video rental stores in America have gone extinct and outside specific Red Box Kiosks there aren't a lot of places for consumers to rent video games. The exception, of course, being thr

SPIKE updatesJust thought I'd share with you guys some updates on the progress of finishing my "SPIKE" novel.
A lot of people have asked me how it's going, when it will be published and stuff. I really appreciate getting asked these things because it shows that people are actually interested in my writings, and that it just such a great feeling

I've got two news for you guys today though: one bad news and one good news. Let's start with the bad news.
I haven't finished writing SPIKE yet.
And I honestly don't know when it will be finished - which oddly enough brings us to the good news:
I've made a new, major decision in the SPIKE story that I think a lot of you will be happy to hear. As usual I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a part in the story where Spike and Sam are separated from each other for quite a long while. At first I was planning on only writing from Spike's point of view, like, what he's experiencing during this separation period. I figured that since he's the main cha

Someone left $20 in an envelope at Fanime''
Hey guys!

Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks

after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.

In other news, I will be at Anime Expo at table A24 and A25

Hopefully the Knite books will be ready by then!

Bus Catastrophes Nr:3 "Fight OUTSIDE'A the bu

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 19, 2012, 1:10 PM

i was just having a discussion of a buss story with my mom - her logic is "a 3 year old kid is smarter then you" .......Y-yeah - its not as much of a buss story then a ARGUMENT about it - however ill post the actual FULL buss story later along with the one who happened today (there r some CREEPY pervs on the buss nowadays!!!) - so if u feel like....ya know...reading for sh!tz n giggles - go ahead XD its a really screwed up argument indeed- XD i dunno if i was right or wrong- im questioning my sanity atm ouch my head hurts from all those facepalms XD

*sigh* lemme get to the point this got into a discussion- ill try remembering the convo but believe me i shot my brains out exactly when it ended.....

me: I was on the buss and there was this 1 little girl singing twinkle twinkle little damn star and then there was this other guy singing 5 little birds sat on a tree, and then they fell down, i told him they fell down cuzz i used a shotgun! XD and then i told the little girl to sing "pokemon" - the girl was about 4 years old r sumthin- and trhen she still sang twinkle twinkle little star.
Mom: haha, she is smart, she sings her own songs.
Me: O_O........=_0...................Did you hear what I say?...she was 4 or 3....
Mom: And she is still smarter then you XD
Me: o_o....eh?....explain....
Mom: she wanted to sing about a star, and so she sang about it, she wont let you boss her around
Me: ....maybe cuzz the song i sang was from 1995? >_>........BEFORE she was even born?.........the 1st theme song.....there is NO POSSIBILITY a 4 year old won't know about that song?.....AT ALL?
Mom: are you not getting what im saying? She wont let you boss her around
Me: .....HOW CAN I-.....I-.....what!=??!?!?!
Mom: Listen, she wanted to sing her song and she wouldnt listen to you when u told her to sing your's - i wish u were like that
Me: ..............................................
Mom: what?
Me: Are you drunk?
Mom: what!?
Me: IM JUST SAYIN! She was 4!!!!! - and i was singing a song that was-......OK - lets look at it this way, lets say YOU started singing a ELVIS song and told ME to sing it while i was already singing about pokemon, and 'I' didnt know a THING about this song, and I STILL continued singing pokemon.....would that mean I was SMART and didn't want to sing your song because i wont let you boss me around?....NO!!!! Woman! I cannot SING something I DONT KNOW THE LYRICS OF!!! Its common logic!!!
Mom: What are you not understanding? the girl was doing her own thing, she wouldnt sing your song because she didnt like it
Me: IM OVER 9000% SURE SHE HASNT EVEN HEARD IT!!!! Besides!!! she was 4! What does a 4 year old know of the 90ths!?
Mom: >_> you really dont get what im saying are you?
Me: Grrrr! You dont get what IM saying do YOU now?
Mom: Oh and what are YOU saying? >_>
Me:..........LOGICAL THINGS!!!!! Its only LOGICAL I can't sing something I dont know the lyrics of!!! BUt OK! lets say the girl DID know the lyrics of the song! lets somehow IMAGINE she KNEW that theme song from pokemon 15 years back! and lets say SHE SANG IT, would that mean I can MANIPULATE OTHER PPL? what if she DIDNT sing it, and DID know the song? Would that technically mean HER IQ is HIGHER then MINE, just because she prefers to sing a SIMPLER song with LESS lyrics and repetitive words?...NO!!!! This inst impressive at all! its a freaking song!!! Its just a freaking song! why are we arguing about this even!? Twinkle Twinkle little star is a retarded little song that is EASILY remembered! while pokemon songs were more advanced for kids to remember! It was LONGER and had ENGLISH words in it...ENGLISH WOMAN!!!!! I come from 2 countries I KNOW 2 OTHER LANGUAGES THEN SWEDISH AND ENGLISH!!!!! She sang something on SWEDISH and she was SWEDISH! She is not smarter then me! I know you're joking! but the fact you're joking about my intelligence alone makes me somewhat pissed!
Mom: Who said i was joking? o_o
Me: YOU WERENT JOKING!??!?!?!?!??!..........................(WERE IS MY GUN!? I WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF!!! NOWWW!! NOWW!!! NOW!!!! xDDDDD)
Mom: Shesh you still dont get what im saying >_>
Me: ....Ok....Then....explain slowly......WHAT.......are you saying??????.......
Mom: She decided by herself that you wouldnt decide what she would sing ._.
Me: ZOMFGPANCAKESTRXCYUVBHIJFTXYCGVJHBKJ!!!

*face-wall-face-desk-face-palm-face-rock-face-floor-face-kick--rape-face- wait whut?* I haz rape face! XD GYAAAH!!!! I cant take this!!! how much longer must I question my sanity before I can get a "YOU'RE RIGHT!" from someone?!?!?! I AM STARTING TO THINK IM WRONG!!!!! WHY!??!?! Is it because my mother is supposed to know BETTER then me!? WELL BU-HU! im sorry! she doesnt this time D: why cant she just admit im right!? - sorry for taking this anger out here - but im not rlly angry D: im just irritated! and sad! this goes on more often then what anyone can think! she cannot admit she is wrong and "IM" a idiot who cant admit it either- BUT HEY!!!! at least i back up my theories with logic! HOW IS IT possible that a 4 year old has a higher IQ then me?! OK - this WOULD have been funny if she said it sarcastically OR was joking, but she clearly said it herself! she wasnt joking uwaaagh!!! *facewall over 9000 times*

~Corrinella Jan 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

When I read this I got so irritated at you mom.
It's because I have a mom like that myself....
She always concludes something that is wrong (too wrong)
And when she realizes that she can't prove anything and loses the battle she runs away from the scene and backbit me... LOUD! >.> She want's me to get sympathetic at her and let HER win the battle >.>

See it like this....
*watching the OL*
Mom (I will call her "HER" from now on >.>) : Wow... He is bad at jumping
me: He's the best at jumping in the world.....
her: He still jumped bad....
*leads and this was his best jump*
me: Mom.... >.> He this was his best jump in this match and he leads.... >.>
her: He can't lead!!! He is too bad to lead!!!
me: USE YOUR EYES MOM!!!! CAN YOU READ THAT?! YEA!!! IT STANDS THAT HE LEADS AND THE COMMENTATOR SAID THAT IT WAS HIS BEST JUMP THIS MATCH!!!
her: SEE HOW SHORT HE JUMPED!!!
me: *he jumped 8,7 m I think* CAN'T YOU JUST USE YOUR EYES AND BRAIN!! DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT LONG JUMP THAN ME!!! I HAVE WATCHED THE OL SINCE I WAS 5 AND YOU?!?! YOU STARTED TO WATCH THIS ONE WEEK AGO!!! SO DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME!!!
her: JUST SHUT UP!!! I HAVE RIGHT!!! LOOK AT THE TV!!!
me: IF YOU LOOK AT THE TV YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M RIGHT!!!!
her: URRGH!!! I SHOULD NEVER HAD KIDS!!! I'M GONNA KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!
me: Kick me out of the house if you will! I would live there than be here and have you around me >.>
her: URRGH!!! I SHOULD NEVER HAD KIDS!!! *slams the door and walks down to the basemant*
her: WHY CAN'T SHE UNDERSTAND ME?!?! WHY?!?! SHE ALWAYS THINK SHE IS RIGHT WHEN I'M RIGHT!!!!
me: *takes a deep breath* (*wants to smash her right in her face*) *walks away from the house and takes a walk* *sigh* why can't she just admit that I'm right?
*tired and pissed*

And that conversation you mentioned happened to me too >.>
And today I met some pervs at school >.> I kicked one of them in the leg since they creeped me out.

NO MOMS!!! I HATE MOMS!!! EVEN IF SHE MADE ME IN CHINA!!! (XD made in china XD)

Look at the title of the journal "Fight outside'a the bu"
Bu??? XD Buses are "BUUUU" XD

*DrawerElma Jan 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

BLAH! its a glitch! i cannot fix it >_> nevermind the title- i tried chainging it 2 times and it wouldnt- must be like a messy gleeetch o.o

~Corrinella Jan 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

XD Ahahahaha XD
Sometimes I love glitches but sometime I hate them =.=

reminds me of one time when I got a job.
Store paper... Take out the paper from a map and set it in on a plastic thingy XD
I was going to lock the last one and I couldn't do it XD
I tried in one hour until I gave up and I walked to the one who gave me the job
And he did it in one second X'D

*DrawerElma Jan 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

HOLY FUUUUUUU LONG FAT COMMENT OHOY! XD O_O.......never had kids? and yeah i remember that sentence =___=.....its being used here too commonly though - so its not a bother XD - also what?......the title cha- fuuuudge and bananas - when i changed the INFO in the journal it must have shortened the title O.o i think....

~Corrinella Jan 20, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

XD Yeah! It got longer than I thought XD
Yeah that sentence is used too much =.=
Even if it got shortened it's still awesome? XD

~LugiaUmbreonPower Jan 20, 2012 Student General Artist

Looool!!!xD this is why I love reading your journals!because they are so funny!xD when ever I miss one, im like, "nu!>< I must read this one nao!!D:" xD
also, I think you made a mistake..you said that the Pokemon song was made 15 years ago..well, I'm 15, didn't you mean 16 years ago? Because I was born in 1996..:/
