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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Excellent answers.

You rule for having a shrunken head keychain (so jealous over here) and for helping Chewy out at the Comicon.

They ought to install special flaps and zippers in those things so people can use the toilet without it being a Herculean labor...

~SpiketheKlown Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Indeed

~Groovy-Gecko Aug 16, 2012 Student General Artist

You would have made a cool archeologist! You'd pull off the pith helmet look.

I must see your Men in Black wallet!!
Haunted Taco Stands...love it!

Yes, Frollo is a CREEP! He's probably one of the few Disney characters I hate because he's nasty! Though for me, it's the Coachman from Pinocchio that still terrifies me to this day...
Please please PLEASE may I join you in your crazy world with Jose, Iago, Scuttle and Roger?! I love those guys!!

These are all great answers...Will of the Wisp (That was a genius rhyme, BTW.

)

~SpiketheKlown Aug 16, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

thank you very very very much

and I actually HAVE a pitch helmet

The coachman from Pleasure Island creeped me out too

but not as much as Frollo.
And yes you can join me in my world of talking birds and rabbits

~Groovy-Gecko Aug 17, 2012 Student General Artist

*GASP* You're officially cooler than you were before!!
Eurgh, Frollo gives me the shudders...but I cannot watch the Coachman when he says "They never come back as BOYS!"

YAAAAAAAY! TALKING BIRDS AND RABBITS!

~SpiketheKlown Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I udnerstand that

that line gives me shivers too, funny thing is I can imitate that smile and do the line
