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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Contest Time! 8D

Journals / Personal

[Contest]
The usual. ;3 This contest is open to anyone with any style of art and any medium (it doesn't have to just be digital). ... Wow, I haven't had a contest for a year, lol.

Rules: Draw a picture of Kae, Sunny, Lylaki, Merf, Clack Bat, Taree, and/or Vasuki. Because I adore music and art (who doesn't love art? lol) the theme of this contest will be to draw my character(s) doing something artsy or musicy (is that a word?? xD). The more creative, the better. You could draw them drawing, painting a mural, playing an instrument, singing, writing music, etc.. or you could find a way to incorporate the two together! Also, you may add your character to the picture to make it even more interesting.

Whatever the idea, keep it original; I will not support art theives. Reference pictures to my characters are below. Send all entries to me by note please and thank you: [link]. You must upload your entry on your deviantart account, and make sure to state that it's for my contest.

Prizes: First place will win a full picture art request (coloured image with scenary background), of anything they would like. Second place will win a coloured pictur with a patterned background. Third place will win a coloured picture with no background. (Backgrounds can be killer, hah)

Date Started: July 14, 2006

Deadline: August 18, 2006

Date Judging: August 19, 2006

Fin: How will I pick the winner? It doesn't have to be the best drawen.. It could be the most thoughtful, the most creative, or maybe the most funny, or detailed, or time spent, or anything! If you have any questions either post here or note me. Anyways, good luck to all who enter!

*stupid question* Are we allowed to enter more than one entry?

~kaykaykit Aug 8, 2006 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, it doesn't improve your chances of winning. x3; When I come to choosing, I would just pick which of your pieces I like better then the other as your entry. xD; So, if you want to go on a shot that you'll draw a picture that I'll like even better then the one you already submitted, go a head. ^^ (long ramble, sorry xD).

~suelita Aug 8, 2006

Oh, I wasn't hoping to increase ANY chances I had of winning xD I just had another idea for an entry

I would still love to see it ^^ hehe

~suelita Aug 10, 2006

Umm... I've decided to make it gift-art, since it doesn't have anything to do with music or art or anything like that. xD I now need to draw it...
