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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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

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

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

I HATE BUSES!!! HATE HATE HATE!

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 10, 2012, 12:57 AM

Sigh..............Guess what this journal is about!!!!....Exactly!!!!! PANCAKES AND MUDKI- >_>..................no.....ofcouse its a buss story again! DSZXFCGVUHBJNKML *diez* T___T ok- and this one...ill keep it short- SO LETS GET RIGHT ON THE BUSS!!!

- OK, so I came to the buss station. A nice start with a easy day at school, and as i got on the buss i only remembered i needed to get of at MY station and that I needed to be on buss "19".............

Sigh........No.........I didnt get on the wrong bus.....but, I kinda wish I did!

As the buss went on, whenever it said "pling" you are supposed to be INFORMED with what station comes next, however - sometimes that voice is LOW or LOUD. This time THERE WAS NO VOICE! - and its not like I wasn't looking out the window! I WAS!....But it was so dark I could only see my reflection in the glass no matter how hard I looked. Then i looked out all the time and was like "..........when is it gonna stop?"

Soooo lets say after 30 minutes i notice something is WRONG......I STILL havent seen my station. At first I thought the buss was "late" but noooooo, IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE! THE BUSS WAS TOO EARLY AND IT ALREADY PASSED MY FREAKING STATION I BELIEVE!!!

Now I didn't realize this YET, I just feelt like it was going a BIT slower then usuall. Then I looked out the window again (also i have to say it was rlly crowded in the beginning when i entered the buss so I couldn't rlly look out the window a lot >_> only sometimes) and I saw some ppl building something. And I was like "oh, this looks.....ODD....I never thought they would be rebuilding the city o_o" and after a while.........I was like "wait-.....WHERE THE HELL IS MY CITY?!?!?!?!!??!"

The buss passed some small houses and was near a forest. "WHERE THE F*** DID THAT FOREST COME FROM!??!?!?!?!" I almost yelled out loud in the buss! Nao- I saw some small white houses and a LOOOOONG road.............>_>......any idea were I was going? WELL NEITHER WAS I!!!!!! I had no idea! I thought "This-.....Is odd.....I havent really.....SEEN this before......but then again...maybe um...the buss is passing a different area?...." *facepalm* NO ITS NOT!!!!

So after a while and a MOMENT of "panic" I decide to go up to the buss driver and ask him "er XD........d-does this bus go to........FAWK WHAT IS THE STREETS NAME?!?!!?!??!?" and he was like "O_O"........... XD and then I just said "Does it go to I.T - high school?" and he was like "Yeah, actually, I have no idea." O_O

"THATS IT!!!!! IM F*******!!!!!!!! IM GONNA DIE!!! IM LOST!!!!" XD now i said it QUIETER then what it sounds like XD........but that was the volume in my head - it was like on 100% XD the kinda tone u blast heavy metal music at.

And then I asked him "w-well does it TURN AROUND XD"

Him: hm? What do you mean TURN around?

Me: I mean XD.....does it like TURN and get back to were it was?

Him: Aaaah yeah ofcourse. were do you need to go?

Me: XD I think im lost and i dunno what station i need to get off on........I just need to get back

He: Well you can get off here and take the 19 buss back. its quicker

Me: O_O and lose myself on another bus R U CEREAL!? no way! im staying here!

He obviously doesnt know how bad luck i have on busses >_>.......

Anyhow when it later 40 minutes later turned I saw i was the ONLY ONE LEFT at the bus XD...........and he said "u can get off here and take another buss, each one of em goes to different parts in Möndal" and im like " Ó__Ò Just get me back to MY CITY! PLZ!? I WANT TO BREATHE POISONOUS TOXICS AND SEE TALL BUILDINGS I DONT KNOW THE NAMES OF!" XD
And he was like "O_o..............XD........." I could see he was feeling my pain somehow XD that and that I almost cried paniking being so far away from home XD

Also- last time there was 1 guy helping me when i got lost. Also I think I had my cell phone with me. This time I had NO ONE around helping me and NO CELL PHONE. o_o i was at the limit to scream in the bu- ok i did scream but i was at the limit to pan- ok i did panic - but hey! at least i didnt go insane XD

Also. After a while as the buss started to drive back, I was thinking "WHAT WAS MY STATION CALLED AGAIN!?!?!?!...." I couldnt remember! I bet it was the panic. XD
Also then like 1 hour later I saw MY station >_> and i saw its name....and I was like "........*facepalm* HOW COULD I FORGET THAT!?!??!" also class was over already >_> ......damn.....so I just headed straight home.

And when the buss arrived home I said "thanx for the help xD" and waved to him, and then when I stepped out of the buss i slipped on ice and fell down XD he was like "oh yeah? maybe you should have stayed in the buss XD" I was like "OWAH!!! XD You're lucky you're cute and nice or I would scream at you XD"

And then I well.....went home to write this XD.....freaking....retardation....>_>....haha XD
Sorry XD its not like a argument but its...a...a.....>_> well its my retardation with buses....also - u would have liked it if i took the other bus?! wouldnt you!? XD then i would have gotten into even more trouble XD but this way it was less entertaining.

PS: XD I am gonna make these journals "bus catastrophes Part: 1" XD consider this the 1st episode of it r such XD just with another title XD .....

The same happened to me >.>
But I came to a place faaaaar away from where I was going.
I took the right buss but it seemed that it skipped a station...
AND THAT STATION WAS WHERE MY SCHOOL WAS!!!!!! >.>
And at last the buss driver kicked me out of the buss for NO REASON!!!
I found out that I were in a forest... all alone... I was freaking panicking!!
And I forgot my cellphone too!!!! )X
I didn't cry at least!! okay, i did... but only one tear!!!
And after that I had to go to a house and ask if I could rent an phone...
And not everyone do what a stranger tell them to >.>
But at last I met some granparents that I didn't know at all but they were really nice ^^
And finally my father found me and drove me home ^^
Finally...
And all that because of that stupid buss speaker didn't work...............
Stupid buses....

*DrawerElma Jan 12, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

o_o i have a car but hell i can't drive! im too young! - and by bike it would take HOURS as well since it already takes a hour by bus! not to mention i have to see HOW to get there by bike, there r cars everywhere and i can get hit if there's a accident ;_; - na'a - ill stay on busses
