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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 8, 2011, 7:59 AM

Well,let me start then.
Do you like your school?do you like your classmates?do you think school time is(was) the best part of your life?I'm not.
I wish so strongly to have good times in school...I wish I'd miss school after all.But I definitely,1000% know I won't even think "oh damn,it was soo great in school,I want to be a pupil again".I just want this nightmare to finish.I want someone to make some suggestions to my dear classmates,MONEY isn't everything.money isn't yours.you haven't earned it.It all is your parents' hard work.I just hate people like this,thinking they're gods,and everyone who hasn't got money enough to be in "luxury status" and have golden toilets are shit.That's just sick.Who's the fuck want these bloody toilets?well,not seriously.Haha,you know,they all are so SPECIAl.of being such an idiots.They think they're like "oh ,you shit,go ahead.I am the best damn ass here",as I sayed,so special.Special asses,whithout really having something instead of wealth..Well,majority of them.There're some persons who really DOES have all right of being arrogant.I realize,some of them really deserves to be appreciated.But..I know,each school has its "heroes".That's all,but all these "heroes" are taking place in my class.And me..Let's open this to you guys.I'm a transvestite.Tranvestite Viktor.Really original sobriquet for the girl who has a short haircut,right?That's not really offensive.I'm even proud to be like this,the one girl in my school who has really short haircut.That even makes me special in some way.
Well,that's all.

Also,it wasn't an another negative journal from me.It wasn't pessimistic.I don't think my life sucks,I don't think I suck or something like this.
I just wanted to tell about things which irritates me the most.But this is just unfairness of the world,and noone can deal with it.there are always people like this.

ooooo my fuckingg goooddd
oohhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best damn Sirius for me(actually I do know it's Gale XD)

aghhhhhhhhhhh

~NovaRoris Mar 11, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I love school, but I have to say that i'm pretty lucky, 'cause i'm in a high school where the ambiance is really good and most of the people are kind. But, when I was younger, my classmates sucked. I also knew these people who thought that you were shit 'cause you're not rich and you're a bit different. Now, there are also these kind of people (I'll propably see these sort of guys my whole life...) but... I've finally found real friends, and these people are nothing to me, so I don't care !
Ignore them and don't let them destroy you. And I like your hair !

Keep fighting

~NotFromMars Mar 9, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

_{I loved my high school (still meet there for book club sometimes! <3)
The students, MEH, they were annoying trollcreatures and I did NOT like them one bit
(except the JROTC kids, they're really cool!! and the Comm Arts kids.)
but the teachers * u* ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL <3
We got to do so many cool things too...
They gave us city bus passes instead of school buses
and I met my best dudefriend/now boyfriend <3 there!! xD
It's a fantastic school and I'd pick it again ANY day.

I'm a girl and have short hair! :3
It was annoying when people asked if I liked guys or girls (to make fun of me, they didn't care... and I love my boyfriend!! <3) or called me "baldheaded" or whatever, but OH WELL. They're just jerks.}

*peekabooga Mar 9, 2011 Student General Artist

school sucked for me (highschool i mean, im in college right now) im really glad to be out of it, but then again i wouldnt mind going back now knowing what i do now and how i have changed >

i'd rock the shcool

~Evansa Mar 9, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

_{You know .. better is your case, when you leave school with these `Finally I'm out of here` feelings, not like I did - I really loved first school where I was studying. When was the prom, I knew that in new school I won't make any friends, I won't love anyone and stuff. I just wanted to keep those last moments I had. Already then I knew that they weren't my friends, but I loved them so much. And then they just betrayed me. Just. It was awful. People I loved most just betrayed me. Just because they didn't like my new school (there's so many stupid reasons). In the beginning I was shocked, but then it all just turned into `I don't care` and `I don't love you` .. Naaah, take this, I don't need you, just like you didn't me, haha. It would be more easy, if I would go from there like `I don't like you, haha`, not like I did. So... Everything's just fine. And considering those things I've heard about your classmates .. they just aren't worth your love or something like that. Deal with, life goes on, WE (!!!) LOVE YOU!

Oh, damn, that was a long comment.}

*viria13 Mar 10, 2011 Student Digital Artist

almost all comments here are long for some reason.

They betrayed you?the most suck thing is when someone who you trusted so much betrayes you,especially for some silly reasons..I had a situation like that,with my ex-best-friend.so..I think I know what's this feeling like.
and yeah,I really won't miss them,exept my current-best-friend,but that's no matter in school we are or not.At least I hope so..
haha,that conditions 'I don't care and I don't love you" are just so mine

and I love all youuuu

~InsanityEnsues999 Mar 9, 2011

I don't necessarily hate school, it's just some of the people there that piss the shit out of me. That's natural, though. Everyone (I presume) feels that way.

It's the people at my school who make up rumors, talk behind your back, kind of people. Especially if they don't even know you. THey're just looking for drama and for something to do with their pathetic lives.

People make fun of you because of your short hair?! Wow. Biased, much? That's rude and disgusting. The things people will do to make themselves feel better, it's rather pathetic.

*viria13 Mar 10, 2011 Student Digital Artist

pretty pathetic,yes..hm,they also have a habit of speaking about someone under their back.the most funny thing is that they're speaking something not really good about their "friens" too..so yes,pathetic lifes.

~mistah-awesomespace Mar 9, 2011 Hobbyist

i kinda like school.
i mean, i hate all the schoolwork and homework that comes along with it, but i like the people i see everyday.
plus, we're all nerds here (no, like, seriously). and everyone is like a sister to me.
_{i dunno, may have something to do with being at an all-girls private school, where everyone has to be nice}
the homework sucks though. _{i swear, those teachers expect way too much from us
and it is kinda awkward, cuz i'm there on scholarship, and everyone else has money >.<}i can't wait for college XD

~WorldOfSpiders Mar 9, 2011

Agree!
I have only 2 months of school left, and I am so happy about this!
My class is full of people who you cannot trust, they just want to drink vodka every evening at someone else's house, because they don't want to spend their own money.
I've wasted 12 years of my life, but 2 months and I'll start doing things I love with people I love.
And I hope You too!
