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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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!
*****************************************************************

GOD DAMNIT. That happened today!! Don't you hate that ONE song on your Ipod that gives you a heart attack when it comes on because it's terribly loud for NO reason!?! MY HEART.

I figured out we wanted to same kind of new tattoo. My brother was thrilled.

My brother purposely turns off the radio if I start dancing or singing. ROFL )": what an ass man. hahaha

Anyways, just wanted to also say thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! It really touched me :") I really do love the DA community! All the support man........it's more than I could ever ask for. Thank you my friends (watchers) for everything!! Cheers to a new year in my life! I will keep drawing forever! ★

Ah, so speaking of my birthday, last weekend a friend came down from Ottawa to stay with me ~~and my shinsengumi~~ Andrew and Jess haha

it was good times. I went to a Cosplay Picnic and ahhh it was so much fun! x") I laughed a lot this weekend, so that's always a nice birthday present :)

But I'll let the photos do the talking! [urh, very image heavy I'm sorry!]

We did Gintama but the Fortune Character Versions. ROFL Which is basically the characters dressed up as the Chinese Zodiac animals. ha ha OH GOD. This was SO much fun to cosplay!!

...it's the reactions we got from normal people that seriously made it hahahaha

Jess as Sougo (Rat), Carolanne as Gintoki(Tiger), Andrew as Kondo(Horse) and myself as Hijikata(Cow).

D8 ROFL. The story of the chinese zodiac.....how character fitting HA HA HA

UH.

I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me LOL

or my friends for that matter

hello, you can call me MOOOnique. .............LOL THE PUNS THEY NEVER ENDED.

I must resist the urge to rub her belly and risk death :S ROFL B-BUT IT WAS SO SOFT

holyshit. I wish that first one didn't blur because THE FACES LMFAO amazing. we're so retarded hahahaha

so andrew was doing this really cool idea he had! Using people as a sorta "frame"! It was pretty nice :D ...and then jess gave me that creeper look LMAO

GORILLA FACE

we GinHiji'd for a bit. LOL why does that work so well as a verb. hahahaha

hahahaha that's like the worse photo of me ever, doesn't help that I have food in my mouth. but the face made everyone laugh OTL" HA HA HA IT was just too perfect and unintentional lmfao

...everyone tends to pull a stupid face when a camera is aimed at them HA HA HA I LOVE IT. urh, well except me in this case. I look so SERIOUS BUSINESS.

this photo is the epitomy of mine and andrew's cosplay friendship. LOL it's kinda awesome.

and then we went to a petting zoo. aka farm thing. AND THAT WAS AWESOME. the laughs we got. priceless.

pfff i love that last photo because we look so tiny~~ ;; LOL Like you can just reach out with your hand and grab us lmao ...ok maybe that's just me.

LMFAO Andrew kept photo bombing the animals. idk why these photos make me laugh so hard.

...........there was a cattle auction. )": ~~my friends are bastards~~ LOL

Andrew would not rest until I did this. LOL Ever since he saw this video . Y U DO THIS TO ME ANDREW

aha aww memories.

So ya...we had a good time :)

We went to McDonalds in our outfits:

LMFAO LOOK AT THAT GUY HAHAHAHA that was pretty much the whole day.

LOL ALL THE KIDS LOVED US. LMAO One girl loved touching my bell and gave me a hug :S while another one was pulling Carolanne's tail. ha ha
...I had to run towards the ferry and my bell kept dinging really loudly....so it brought so much unwanted attention :"D ROFL "MOMMY LOOK. A COW!" and then the mother was like "this is the only time you can call a girl a cow without it being rude"
LMFAO. UHH.

I wish I made all that stuff up :"D LOL Sometimes I think Sougo was based of Jess. HA HA HA HA WHY

Those were the glasses I was wearing that made Jess want to punch me in the face or according to her just bully me :") ROFL I look like the biggest nerd. Not even the cool ones either.
