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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Ok guesss wwhhaattt, I got a new tattoooo!!

I went with Mel♥ I said I was done after my second one ...but god damn it Mel. LOLOL
Well, it's a lotus flower. I think it came out great! I'm very pleased with it.

:)

So anyways, life's been pretty sweet. My last day of teaching was 2 weeks ago...I'll be back in january I believe. Sometimes I think I'll miss the little buggers.

On second thought...maybe not. LOLLLOL

Oh man, there was one boy completely obsessed with hockey ha ha That's ALLL he would talk to me about. And I would just nod and say 'cool..oh..ya, sure you can draw a goalie..cool..ok cool' ha ha ha And then I had two girls who just adored me. Well it certainly was interesting working with kids. They're so......innocent. haha I don't know how to explain it. But as I watched my class it's funny to see how simple things make them laugh and how polite they are to their fellow classmates. "your drawing looks amazing" "thank you! so does yours!" they said this while smiling the entire time ......I was taken back by how kind that was. Dx
So yup, I'll be back teaching later on...that job always gave me a nice satisfaction when I left ~~TOUCHING LIVES~~ :) And I'm enjoying my new job at a restaurant a lot. ...well mostly I like my co-workers. They're all so cool ♥

oh yeh, cosplay news!

Date Masamune preview for Katsucon >D (you like my shitty photoshop eyepatch!? ROFL so sexy.)
My goodness, I will be going to a lot of American convention _{(artist alley)} next year with new costumes! Katsucon, Acen and Youmacon ha ha I'm kinda excited :) Since I already miss all my american amigos and can't wait to meet new people and such

I have nothing of importance to say now. ha ha

Cute starbucks boy....

Y U NO FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!?
After teaching, I would go to starbucks and just draw ~~attractive~~ people...I must look like the biggest creeper for fuck sakes. 8"D

This actually HAPPENED on my morning news channel. LOL Honestly, I don't even know. .........._{but me and my mom thoroughly enjoyed watching the lemur getting it's belly scratched.}

Winter, all fun and games AT FIRST. It's so cold right now.

ah ha.....I dislike spicy food. )': I just can't do it. My brother makes fun of me every chance he gets. I just don't know how you can enjoy it...doesn't it fry your taste buds or something? :"D haha

i am a beautiful human being.
hyuckhyuck
I'm pretty sure all artists go through that 'I hate everything I draw' phase. Mine tends to seep into every day life.

supernatural crack for the whole family!

DEAN

SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR.

Ahhh holidays are always heart warming.

I got to decorate the tree this year with my brother. ...I made a rainbow. huurrrr

I was worried that maybe the address had changed or something
because I thought you should have gotten it by now.
I'm glad you like it, I had to fight my grandma off to actually
send it because she really liked it and kept saying "You're not going
to send this one are you? But I love it." She's so funny. XD

I bet that was pretty. I love that combination as well, we had such
a pretty shade of blue for the ornaments~
