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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Listening to: the shins for the 68th time
Reading: a receipt for a vet
Watching: scott baio turning 45 and being single
Playing: uber.com
Eating: zanku chicken
Drinking: coca-cola and i want another dammit

no ... i do. seriously.

okay ... basically ... if you're going to note me or comment about something and you haven't done simple research ... like who dd's material ... and you write me something which could be construed as rude ...

you just entered a certain arena which opens you up ... to whatever.

and if i have five minutes and i'm bored and you piss me off at that point ... um ...

welcome to the journal.

you'll get pageviews, though!

and perhaps someone won't agree with me and they'll find something in your work which they like.

and they watch you or whatever.

it's all good.

as long as your name is spelled correct, it's all good.

like ... even for me ... i read a comment ... i didn't think this dude appreciated the way i talk ... and ... yeah ... cool ...

but i liked his work.

so ... even i got something out it.

mate, we're just a little less altruistic in the big city.

walked 'round venice the other day ...

i so ... so ... so ... thought it was +spyed ... but the lack of hair negated that thought ... then i thought i was lolly

updated ... blog ... and as you can see the crispy lizard forwards to it ... as i just ... well ... wanted to consolidate clicks and not deal with so much fucking spam.

if i get one more fucking email about some blimp which flies around cities and sells ads ...

and these fake pdf spams.

i mean ... does anyone really respond to dr. solomon in west africa about helping him recover money that his dad embezzled whilst he was a banking or government official?

anyway ... the prior deviant ... she said sorry ... so we're cool.

this time ... i didn't put her name, though. she's had enough free pageviews.

hope you're all well.

even the people i just learned how to block.

cheers from the big city!

note to all: you can piss off a few pokemon-lovers ... but piss off one angry emo-self-portrait-loving urchin ... trust me ... she'll login from 20 different accounts just to try and piss you off. my god love ... get a boyfriend. a girlfriend. a hobby. and perhaps stop using monikers which would have people think you're demonic. you're not. ozzy tried by eating heads off of bats; all he got was an appointment getting rabies shots. and, yes, you're emo.

p.s., i totally forgot to congratulate `equivoque (my favourite dd-suggestor), `Staged (another favourite) and `hellfirediva (of whom i don't understand the name completely, but whatever) ... $Moonbeam13 did an amazing job finding gd's!!!!! i mean ... for a witch.

and, yeah, i know there are other gd's but i have no idea who they are. my radar is quite small ... otherwise i lose interest. but ... congrats all of you ... i'm sure you guys will kick ass!

p.p.s., yo

trying to get pageviews with the new avatar?

I feel you about the PDF scams. My inbox is full of that crap. Hell, we should get together and meet with the guy and take the $100 million out of his ass for wasting out time with the junk mail.

How did I miss a good fight? LOL SO sad ... hope it goes away.

Hang in there buddy. I might read one or two more. I'm half-way through the my messages.

"she'll login from 20 different accounts just to try and piss you off."

No shit! I seriously just got harrassed from some kid because her emo friend paid to advertise her dA page on dA and I clicked and commented on her feature.

I wish I had sewed my hands together and not been able to type. My Gosh kids are vile these days. and to top it all off, she starts telling me my photography is shit. Yes love, it's my job, my sole income, of course it's shit. Get real!

It's pure comedy, but shit as hell annoying at the same time.

Dig you x

~cweeks-is-a-baby Jul 19, 2007
