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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Lmao I'm so behind on this year's con reports, so I'll try and squish them all into one.

Brisnova
Was awesome. I had a wonderful time catching up with my Brissy friends and meeting new people

Of course thanks to

Melbnova

flew down from Syd and stayed at my place

I was really cheap and didn't get photo/signature of Tom Felton, so I just kinda lined up with Christie and smiled creepily at him.

I also stole

's Wako hurhurhur

- Takuto

Sydney Distant World concert
Then A WEEK after that was the Final Fantasy concert performed by the Sydney Symphony. Nobuo Uematsu was there omfgskldjfslkfj *star struck*

Not to mention it was INSIDE THE OPERA HOUSE OMFG.

Of course being the biggest dork I am, I had to cosplay lmfaoslkdfj. Cosplayed Selphie (SEED uniform ver), who will always be my favourite female FF chara

RINOA WHO? SQUALL X SELPHIE ALL THE WAY.

I wish to reshoot this, because my wig kinda deflated after the concert... hence crappy wig and I want to remake the stupid tie lmaooo OTL oh and not to mention we were basically shooed out of the Opera house after the concert TT_TT

Hilarious story:

We were all sitting inside a box above ground during the concert. BEST SEATS EVER.

looked over the edge and saw Nobuo Uematsu sitting with the crowd and basically it went like this:

Will: OUUUUU
Nobuo-san: OUU!!
*rest of us started standing up from out seats to look over*
Nobuo-san: *pointing at all of us* OUUUUUUU!!!! OUUU! OUUU!!!!
Us: KONBANWA AHHLDKFJSLDKFj
Nobuo-san: KONBANWAAAAAARRRRHHHHH

Then the rest of the opera house started taking pictures of us lmfao slkdjfskf

The concert was AMAZING I was sitting next to

and we held onto each other and BAWLED our eyes out half the time. Especially when the FF8 songs came on... omfgsdlkfjslkj FF8 means so much to me, it was my first video game when I first got a playstation more than 10 years ago. I memorized each and every song and scenes..... *NEVER GETS A BOYFRIEND*

I heard that Distant Worlds will be touring in America next? YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A TREAT

SPECTACULAR TREAT.

The day after the concert, we had an EPIC Fatal Frame shoot, but I'll leave that till the next journal because it's getting a bit too image heavy XD. Some photos are up in my gallery anyways, but I love this one:
