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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Forget bieber fever, I have one direction infection

Just wanted to mention that

I wanted to do some features for April. But since I can't contain my excitement any further, I'll just go ahead and mention them

April Awesomeness

~TinyTopHats

~TinyTopHats

If you haven't already, you should go check out ~TinyTopHats 's gallery. Her specialty is making little tiny top hats with a elastic headband so you can secure your hat around your head. These hats are so cute and original, and make an awesome accessory for going out to a festival, or a party. You can also find her at her etsy shop: [link] As of right now ~TinyTopHats is holding a contest, which sadly ends at April 03, 12PM EST time, but you can go check her page to see the entries
Her non-hat account is ~littlecasaroo

*CleverAvian

*CleverAvian

She creates one of the best Adventure Time fan art I have seen! She seems like one of the artists that bring Adventure Time to us every Monday She has a DD for one of her deviations she made for The Valentine Exchange so give her a positive comment on her page and give her a big clap

~eruqi

~eruqi

I literally cried when I saw ~eruqi 's art, it was so beautiful. It completly wowed me
~eruqi has only been her for 1 month, but if I do remember correctly, when ~eruqi was only here for about a week or two, ~eruqi already received a daily deviation. ~eruqi us a new deviant, with only 9 deviations, but I am sure she will impress you as she did me. Please go look at her gallery and give ~eruqi and help her get more exposed

That is it for April's Awesomeness. Please comment below and tell me about a person I should feauture next month

Let's try to help people get more exposure

~TinyTopHats Apr 1, 2012

Ooooh I've never been featured before so I'm kinda embarrassed and also super flattered

Thank you so much for mentioning me and my crew's hats!
It's people like you that really make me so happy to do what I do, you appreciate the hard work that goes into everything and try to spread the word

You're super sweet, don't ever change please!!

Thank you so so much again :')

~ladyangel45 Apr 2, 2012

Aw your comment made me burst with happiness

Thank you so much for replying. A few people have mentioned (in my journal) that they are going to watch you, and that they totally love your hats, and wished to have seen you sooner

~TinyTopHats Apr 2, 2012

Awww really? Well here's my shout out to them, THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!
And even if they hadn't heard of us before, at least we're all together now hehehe

Thank you so much for being such a sweet person! I promise that will never go unnoticed as far as me

~ladyangel45 Apr 3, 2012

Not only am I going to buy the box (well my mom is... ^^ ) but one of my mom's friends (she's extremly nice

) said she's buying me a hat. I read your journal, and wondered if it's possible to place a hat on hold or something? I'll get more information, details, etc, from her, and hope she can make it this week (i dont want to rush her, better if i ask ^^ )
I feel so lucky, now I have to pick a hat VERY carefully, off to your gallery I go~!

~TinyTopHats Apr 3, 2012

Oh she is! How sweet of her!

Well I can hold a hat for 24 hours but that's as long as I can usually hold something.

Yes yes please pick which you like! You should check out our Etsy and see them all: [link]
Ooooh I wonder which one you like best

~ladyangel45 Apr 3, 2012

Heh, I picked the Mad Hatter one, but I want to tell her in person how grateful I am on how considerate she is, and how happy it made me that she knew about my birthday

I don't feel too comftarble telling her what hat i want, i feel it would make me too selfish

Whenever she calls, I will make sure to tell her.
Hmm, well looks like I need to tell her fast D:
(My mom made the order, and aksed if it's possible to change it to credit card. I warned her...)

~TinyTopHats Apr 3, 2012

OH! That was her!! ^___^
She didn't mention it was a red one she wanted or it was you that was ordering!! hehehe I'm really glad you said something XD That would have stunk to send you the wrong color hehehe

I can change it to a credit card, no problem at all ^_^ Tell her not to worry about it

~ladyangel45 Apr 3, 2012

oh whew, lol so glad I got that all cleared up

I really do appreciate everything you have done

Thank you so much for making awesome hats, can't wait to wear my b-day presents

I have a friend who likes them. (obsessed like them)
I like them also, I remember seeing them on the X factor.
I love Zayn, if things dont work out with my BF, Zayn will be second choice XD
They have such catchy songs, once I listen to them once, i hear them all day. Did you watch the KCA's last night? I found out they were performing, so I went back to Nickolodean after 4 years, lol, just to watch them (they were amazing, best show of the night.) I never even knew about tiny top hats or clever avian before I came here. I like shopping for accesories, and tiny top hats defenitly has them, thank you so much for featuring them

As of other people that I know that have good art that you can feautre, idk

~ladyangel45 Apr 1, 2012

wow, i check my inboxes and I sa this long message (dont worry I read the whole thing

) Yes I watched the KCA's (only like the last part of it) And i thought that thet defenitly let an impression. Not bad for a british boy band with an irish boy

My friend is the same way, she freaked when One Direction said her name (they were answering question in twitter using quickfire, and they said her name along with her question

)
I love tiny top hats also, i encourage you to buy something from her, I as a matter of fact am buying a cute daisy zipper headband from her, I cant wait until I have it in my hands
