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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

XBOne... fixed.To everyone who says picking on Microsoft for their consumer unfriendly bullshit was "being unnecessarily mean," take a look at this. Don Mattrick just announced that Microsoft is back peddling with the XBOne, removing the disastrously awful features we've been bashing them for trying to inflict on us.
    Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
    For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

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

I wanted to make a new journal entry and I was tagged, so I think it's the right moment to do it in one! I just answered to her questions since I was tagged not that long ago..

I was tagged by

1) What is your favourite flower/plant?

Hmm…I love many kind of flowers and plants.. I'd say lilac it's my favourite, I love the smell and I always have a lilac tree in my garden since my childhood!

2) If you could learn any language that has ever existed, which would it be?
A language that doesn't exist for real? (it's how I understand the question…my English is not that good

) Well … Id like to learn Parseltongue, the language of snakes (HP) mouahahha.

3) River or ocean?
River is fine. Ocean is too big and too scary..:s

4) If a movie was made about your life, who would you cast as yourself?
I'd be the sidekick that everyone forgets.

5) Water, fire, air or earth?
Air or water… I think mostly air ^^

6) What do you value most about yourself?
Hmm my hair? XD and my drawing skill, I love that I can improve it everytime

7) When did you have the most fun in your life?
Hmmm… Idk… well I think it was in my grand's house in Turkey. I was with my sister and 2 cousins ( 2 sisters). And.. we were in the guest's bedroom. We were talking..laughing haha ^^ and then we heard gun shot! We were terrified, we screamed … we were like

! And then we heard nothing… one of my cousin decided to go to see whats going on.. and then she came back running and screaming. What did you see? She said : " I was looking to the door's "window" and I saw a shadow, there was someone coming !" Then we heard a gun shot again and she jumped in the bed and the bed was broke haha XD…we screamed again because of the bed's crack… Then we just stayed there and didn't move …so we started to stay calm and after a while we go outside. Our parents and our grand parents were outside , drinking tea… we said what was all those noises? They said that it was grandfather that was tryin to use his new gun to ward off the birds… and then we laughed because of all the imagination we had but we were mad to our grand father because he just cant use gun in the middle of night. My cousin she actually saw her own shadow XD …Idk but it was scary and then so funny, we even took a picture with scared face to not forget this night XD

8) What is your favourite word?
"Awesome"! I like how it sounds. "That's awesome!" "It's gonna be totally awesome !

"

9) What is your least favourite word?
It's a French word : parallélépipède. It's parallelepiped. I hate when we have to write that, I don't know how write it short, and it's so long… I 'm good in orthographs but for this word I just can't write it right or spell it right…whatever ^^.

10) If you were to pack your bags and leave right now, where would you go?
OOOh Disneyworld! Or New Orleans! Or Barcelona ! Or St Petersburg!!!

11) What is usually your first coherent thought in the mornings?
"It's time to get up!"

*****

And yes, I open request ! I'll just accept 5 requests for this moment. I will not do it right now 'cause Im kinda busy ( exams + big projects !!). I'll draw it after all this, end of June ! But I just wanted drawing something for my dear "watchers" because you make me so happy! All the favs and comments mean a lot to me ! really youre the best !And I reached almost 300 watchers !!

Thank you!
So... I'll just draw a sketch of your OC's bust (just one per person!) I'll draw them all in one paper. Please note me with a link of your Oc drawing ! I'll draw the first 5 notes I got... If you didn't had the chance to send a note earlier...don't worry I'll maybe draw 5 others in another paper, and yours will be on there too (but no promise :s) ! Have a nice day/ night!
