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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Music Is My Inspiration ContestWell guys I've decided to start my own contest, because I had awesome feedback on the idea ^_^
It'll be my first contest that I've held...EVER! So it's very exciting :3
So, about the theme of the contest. Well whenever I've felt down and blue because I've been slapped upside the head with an art block, I like to wallow in self pity and blast my favourite tunes XD (LOL) It's extremely therapeutic

and it really does help to inspire me with new ideas

.
A perfect example would be my OC's Medi-kate & Black Nova, both created from inspiration from music.
http://fav.me/d609vsk http://fav.me/d5tfe4z
So basically the gist of it is, I want you guys to listen to some music, find a song that inspires you, pick one of my OC's, and create something awesome

With all that being said, let's get down to the nitty gritty details!

No Yaoi (and cupcakes) make mudkip sad :<

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 12, 2012, 11:51 PM

I was just reading loveless when I reached about chapter 3 and I was like "when the HELL is the GUY gonna come in and kiss Ristuka!? D< Its only been girls all over him since chap 1!!!!" meanwhile that was going through my head I didnt even think "when is his mom gonna stop beating him? is he ever going to be loved? is his real name loveless? who killed his brother? who is the GIRL following him around?" XD

OK XD And here is the schock! - I was gonna call this manga "not yaoi" or well....a softer version of yaoi thats called something else xD UNTIL!.....I read 1 part.....whichc said....HE.....the GIRL I thought kissed him....and that was following him around....was in fact.......a .....HE.....

I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS A TALL FLAT-CHESHED BLOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHATEHELL!??!?!!?!? OK HE LOOKED KINDA MALE-ISH BUT DAT HAIR!!!!!! WTH!? O_O and i was like "this isn't yaoi!" I SPOILED ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS FOR MYSELF JUST CUZZ I THOUGHT THE 1 MAIN CHARACTER WAS IN FACT A GIRL?!?!?!?!??!?!........ARE YOU SH***ING ME LIFE!? XDDDDDDDD

But yeah errr xD I only wanted to say that XD I practically ruined it all for myself now XD damn! ;_; i have to go back and see that scene were they kiss ;w; <3 XD sorry - fangurls get like this over hot anime characters ;w; <3 but they are so...BE-LOVED XD ........=_= bad pun - that was his brothers name o_o his brother was "be-loved" and ritsuka's name was loveless!?....whatesh*t? XD - now we know who the favorite in THAT family was xD

Peace out - XD i really need to stop reading yaoi in school....OMG!!! THATS WHY EVERYONE WAS STARRING AT ME WEIRDLY O_O - I was reading this and the whole time up until now- i thought that ritsukas friend er guy - was a girl o_o and when they kissed i was like "nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!" XD .......I think everyone was like "why is she reading yaoi if she doesn't like it? XD"

also in chap4 there is someone who expects ritsuka to come to some place and yukio (if i got her name right) says he's handsome and then all of a sudden when this girl (not yukio) sees Ritsuka - she goes like "WAAAAAH WHAT A SHORTIE!!!!" and i didnt even realise Yukio is TALLER then ritsuka!!! XD I just died laughing! XD its just like Ash x Misty! XD misty is taller XD *rolls on the floor laughing like hell*

The hell!? XD I had to update the journal ones more cuzz in chapter 5 there was one who said - and i quote "Im going to my new job. Having to strip in front of many people is sexy you know".....WHATEHELL!?!??!?!?! XD there is SUCH things in this manga?! XD....this is outrageous!!!!!...........*flips forward to view the scene XD (THERE IS NO SCENE!?....mudkip sad nao...XD)* and the other guy who was next to him when he said this was drawing and he was like "your only gonna pose as a model for a art class- dont call it stripping" and im like "WHERE CAN I ENTER THIS 'ART CLASS' XDDDDDDDDDDD" lol and in the next page the guy was like "I can strip anytime!" and he pulled of his shirt and I was like "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS GUY!!!" XD this is getting so freaking hilarious XD just like when ristuka was like "you hurt peoples feelings, then you deserve a death sentence!" wth!? xD i love this manga! I absolutely love it XD (I already updated it like 5 times i better stop updating it moar >3>)
