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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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!

"We Miss You" Contest ( II ) Winners

"We Miss You" Contest ( I ) Winners

A FEW WORDS

It is that time of the year again when I have to choose the winners. My love, Alligatorr, stands right next to me as usual, to help me get through hard moments like these, when the memories and the pain and even the regret become too overwhelming. I cried my eyes out reading and viewing all of your entries. I relate to so many of them. My longing has no limits ... it's ageless and this is what I saw in your creations as well. Each one represents a personal tragedy and I cherish the courage you guys needed to express your feelings and pour your hearts out like that. ( sigh ) The ones who watched me for some time know that I can't stick to my plans when it comes to giving prizes

, especially when it comes to this Contest. So, I will give points to all of you, but not randomly. We will have 6 consecutive places ( with their corresponding points ) and 30 points for each and everyone of you who didn't get to the first 6 places. There were 3 prizes initially, so you can see how far I walked from the path here, but it's worthed. You deserve it! As I said before to a fellow deviant, there are no winners or losers here, in the true meaning! You are all winners for remembering the ones you loved and lost. This is such a small tribute ... I wish I could have done more, or give you bigger prizes. But I hope that these points will be received with joy nevertheless. Thank you all for everything and see you next year. I won't stop doing this, no matter what. Regardless of how painful it is, I want to keep someone alive in my heart. We can forget their voices, or some of their face features, their touch or their smile, or even their scent can get lost through the senseless time, but they are here ... in our hearts, forever.

P.S. I wish they could see what beautiful people we have become and rejoice in our fulfilment.

WINNERS

1st place:

=> 820 points .
2nd place:

In your memory

"Andie, it's over. He's gone…"
My brother's words pierced into my heart with increasing speed. My hero was gone? How was that possible? He was supposed to be invincible.

I guess the perceptions of a child are never gone. Ever since I was a little girl, I thought of him as the strongest person I had ever known and that will never change. Losing his love to the dreadful disease we all know as cancer, he raised the three children on his own, being both a father and a mother to them and not failing in one bit. He was generally a quiet man, never wanting to disturb anyone with his problems. I still cannot believe that, at 70+ years, he was => 600 points .
3rd place:

=> 430 points .
4th place: :thumb185638572: => 300 points .
5th place: => 200 points .
6th place:

GoodbyeI never said goodbye
As I watched your dying face
I was convinced that I would see you
Before you were gone without a trace
I never said those words
As I thought I never would
I thought you would get better
I always thought you could
I was silent at your bedside
You didn't know I was there
I wept silently for you
But you were far too gone to hear
You were supposed to get better
I was never supposed to say goodbye
But now you're long gone
And I can't help but wonder why => 100 points .

I will transfer the points to all of you tomorrow. Thank you for understanding. I am just too tired and emotional right now.

I would appreciate if you could find the time to take a look at one of my deviations, made for someone I lost. It is entitled "For all of you, poor souls ..." and you can view it here: [link] . Any opinions are welcomed.

This is my fairytale ... this is my happily ever after ... I love you, *Alligatorr ( )! ( that and even more ... much more )
<=> Special thanks to my wonderful friends from deviantArt: =gppr , *DameOdessa , =ninaste, `d3rzi and ~Ailedda . A to you all.

I guess I'm reading this all about a year behind, but, cried my eyes out just the same! Man! Did this ever hit home! What a fantastic idea! And, some great stories! I congratulate everyone who had the courage to participate, they are definitely ALL winners, and to you and yours for coming up with the idea, and for, of course, always standing by you! You are both very lucky to have one another!

It is rare and, therefore, very appreciated to find such special comments like yours. I am extremely glad that you had the will and the need to read everything that had been said in this Journal and to take a look at the winners. They put a piece of their heart in there, so they are priceless.

Thank you for your congratulations also and, yes, I and Alli are very lucky to have each other, indeed.

May you enjoy and relate to the future entries to this contest also. I'm currently receiving them for the third edition of the Contest, until the deadline ends, of course.

Well, yes, at times, I must admit, it was a "struggle," of sorts, to get through some of the entries, but, only because they were hitting so close to home with some of my own thoughts and feelings. They were all soooo good! Everyone really went all out for this contest, and really laid themselves on the line for it, didn't they?! I think that's great, and made for an amazing contest. It's really cool that it continues each year, too. Gives everyone something to look forward to, plus build upon. Keep up the great work!

It's very appreciated!
