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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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!

MUSEUM COLLECTIONS LIST

Here is the list to the bugs, fish, and fossil collection located in Pokette Town's Museum, as well as the Contest Hall of Fame for those who have won past Contest Halls. A striked out specimen means that the Museum has not yet received that donation. If it is unstriked, it has been donated! The member who donated the wonderful specimen will be recognized for their kind contribution. Some creatures only come out during a certain season or weather condition, and some are a very rare find. These certain conditions (if needed) must be shown in the donation's image

The maximum amount of donations you can submit (per person) are 6 of any category. Bugs, fish, and fossils are all PKMN and have been organized by generation and evolution

Take a look at our lovely exhibits down below, won't you? We promise you won't be disappointed!

~KayVeeDee 5 days ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Hi there! I was just wondering; in an rp I'm in, my character and another character both found a bug at the same time. If we want to donate it, would we be allowed to do a collab pic and both be attributed or would we have to choose one of us to draw the donation under their name? I checked the FAQ and I don't think this is addressed, so I wanted to ask just to make sure.
Thanks! ^^

*Cyanide-Tea 4 days ago

Just like in the AC games, only one person is allowed to donate one of each specimen. So both of you will have to decide who gives the donation.

~KayVeeDee 4 days ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for answering!

~DewyCat Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

On Joltic's entry it says "spring-summer; on residents", I'm just starting to think about pets and was wondering what "on residents" meant? Thanks!

*Cyanide-Tea Dec 2, 2012

Joltiks are known as the "attaching" pokemon, and well... as you can guess from the name when deciphered: jolt = electricity jolt, and tik = tick.

Just like the fleas that appear on residents in Animal Crossing, Joltik's will appear on residents from time to time! Most people seem to obtain ~~unwanted~~ Joltik pets through that method. XD

~DewyCat Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Haha Thanks Cyanide! Just to be clear though, this is still just in the spring to summer seasons right?

*Cyanide-Tea Dec 2, 2012

Yes. These seasons only apply if you want to donate a fish or bug!

If you are looking to keep one as a pet, then these seasons do not apply. We feel it's best to give everyone the pet they want in any season at any time, so they don't have a to wait a year just to nab a bug/fish you might want as a companion.

~DewyCat Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Okay awesome, thanks so much Tea! i was beginning to thing about getting a pet so this helps a lot!

*Cyanide-Tea Dec 2, 2012

Glad to have helped! :>

~Karzuen Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

In the AC games, you can catch fleas. They're found on the animal villagers randomly. Since Joltik is based off ticks and spiders, that's why. c:
