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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Was Depressed...

by *xxbabyfatxx, Aug 16, 2012, 6:57:04 AM
Journals / Personal

So last night things came to an ending and I was depressed, I do admit I cried, then I seen hes already flirting with other girls, like I was nothing to him...hahaha so why does that make it so much easier to move on, not sure but its time to laugh and shout: I'm officially single now!!!

Maybe this time I can get with someone my age, and not too obsessed . *cough*cough*
I don't care I mean shoot life goes on and I jUsT dOn'T gIvE a FuCk!! lol
I can actually be myself now, wow I just smiled. It's a new day. Sucks I have to work 11 to 7 now ( those hours drag onnnn!!!)
Maybe its a good thing though. I need some change, I keep craving change. =]
I'm going to school....maybe next Wednesday is when I'm taking that lame test to go into a school. Going for photography =3
This has got to be a sign to just go with it. haha he would only hold me back anyways. I'm not ready at all to settle down and marry at the age of 19 going on 20 hahaha nah! not at all, I still have life to live first and be wild and crazy for a little bit longer. My past wasn't good enough, lol okay..whose got a longer past? hmmm whatever, don't care, the past is the past. Cry me a damn river, so I can swim across it to move on to the next guy. So yeah I can't wait till I stop working at the beach now because I'm getting really sick of it, last year was great for some reason, this year just sucked. So maybe if the world does end, it was meant to be, if it doesn't second chances I guess maybe next year will be better =]
Fuck you and I love my friends and fans =]

Congratulations Hun!! You have a wonderful outlook on life and going to school and living your life for YOU is the best decision you could make! Trust me!! I married at the age of 19 and honestly I wished I had waited. I have always lived my life for others and just within the last year or so, I have learned to start living for me. I started school at the art institute and I am doing more things on my own and becoming me again. I am still married and even though it is definitely not always easy, it is worth it if you find the right guy! Don't rush into things! Take your time and find YOU and do the things you need and want to do!! You are an amazing woman and you are going to be just fine!!! Hugs love!!

*xxbabyfatxx Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

see, there's girls my age, that i went to school with already married or engaged and they act like life is just so wonderful like a cinderella story, there too young to go on and settle down, i think. I always did say though, even when you talk to couples who got married out of highschool they will always say "never marry after highschool!" so i listen to my elders and people with wisdom. Thanks so much for being nice to me and reading my journal =]

*ZtarDaze Aug 17, 2012 Student Photographer

Anytim hun! I'll be the first to admit that while I love my husband, marriage is not easy. I hate to admit it, but love is not all you need because it takes so much more than that to survive. It is hard and takes so much hard work and time and a lot of compromises and tears, but the good days usually tend to outnumber and outlast the bad! I promise, when YOU are ready and you know you have found the right guy then go for it! Otherwise, this is your time! Hugs!

*xxbabyfatxx Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

That is exactly how I think, I don't want a dream because I know it's not going to be a dream, I know there's going to be fights, there's going to be ups and downs. I know that if something bad happened they would be there holding my hand and my tears. I've really observed my parents marriage a lot. They got married out of high school too. It does get annoying whenever they say "when I was your age I was married and holding a job" times aren't as good as they use to be, you could live on minimum and still be able to move out of the parents house. Anyways yeah it's a huge struggle I've noticed there is always fights over money and bills and who bought what. I am just waiting for that right guy though. I always wonder who he is going to be.

*ZtarDaze Aug 19, 2012 Student Photographer

Oh honey, please ignore all the people that tell you "when I was your age" crap. That was then and this is now, Your now. Just because they did that when they were your age does not mean it needs to be repeated. Live your own life! Honestly, I have had a couple of jobs here and there but I can't seem to keep a job to save my life. Mostly it has just been a one income household. And yes things have been really hard lately but in the end, it is worth it! Trust me, when the right guy comes around, you will know it! And it will be worth everything!!

~dudleydawg Aug 16, 2012

thanks =]
