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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

Mood: Happy
Listening to: The sound of silence... XDDDD
Reading: College stuff >.<
Watching: Saint Seiya Hades Chapter *_*
Playing: The Legend of Zelda TP for Wii

Niiiiaaaaaa my uncle came from USA this last friday and he brought with him the beautiful Nintendo Wii for me! With the proper copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I've been playing a bit, not that much because I have college stuff to do, but I made it to the first temple

it's confusing because everything is mirrored to the Gamecube version! XDDDD it's going to take a while to get used to that jeje

but so far I gotta say I enjoyed the most playing it in the Gamecube, I mean, playing Zelda in the Wii is not so fun as for example, the Wii Sports are, because it doesn't make use of the Wii gameplay system as much as Wii Sports do, I mean I loved baseball and bowling, having to swing the remote like that to play

instead in Zelda all you have to do is to shake a bit the remote... not that fun... and which by the way I find a bit uncomfortable, also that fairy pointer is annoying as hell!! Luckily there's that option to take it off, but it takes off the pointing thing with te remote as well... meh I'm sure the next Zelda will adapt perfectly to this, after all... as we all know TP was meant to be for the Gamecube, only that Nintendo decided to release it with the Wii to increase their sales XDDDD
Oh by the way, I've seen in the TV that a sword and shield were released to be used to play TP, has anyone of you heard of this? If those things came out then I'm sure playing Zelda with that would be awesome!!

Well on other things... I'm stuffed with college stuff!! TT-TT I can't do anything because I soon as I finish studying for something I gotta start studying for something else

somebody rescue meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

jajaja XDDD well I just hope to find some free time to play a bit and to finish coloring something I've started before having to study... See yaaaaaaaaa!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a favour to ask you native english speakers!!

Please, if you read in my comments or journals something wrong, such as bad spelling or wrong usage of tenses, please correct me!! It would be of great help since english is what I'm studying in college!

Thank youuuu!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
My love

te amooo!!!

I'm in a club!!

Go visit them!!!

Te vas a comprar el control en forma de espada y escudo de Link para la Wii?

~Maga-Link Jun 14, 2007 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Jajajaja XDDDD hmmmm no lo creo... por lo que vi hasta ahora ni siquiera es algo que sacó Nintendo, además... yo soy la mejor jugando al Zelda manejándolo a mi Link con un Joystick... pero no soy buena con espadas en la vida real!!!

~nekoiichi Jun 20, 2007 Hobbyist General Artist

Decime que no se te dio por espadear a nadie en la vida real... sino te voy a tener miedo

jajajajajajja

Thank youuu!

jajaja bowling is my favourite sports so far X3

~Aerwyna Jun 8, 2007

I've played TP on both Gamecube and Wii, and I have to say, the mirrored thing was a TOTAL shock, I kept running into walls

Anyways, I preferred the Gamecube version. And yes, that faerie pointer was everything people make Navi out to be - annoying and basically useless.

will be getting a Wii and maybe TP within the next few weeks, so I may be able to p lay soon
