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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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.

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

Skylander's Demo

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 8, 2011, 2:49 PM

Mood: Relief
Listening to: AIM Radio
Playing: Beyond Good & Evil HD
Drinking: water - plain `o water :3

Greeting all! Bumping out the old journal now. I watched the Nickelodeon Exclusive on TV About Skylanders Spyro's Adventure (here's the exclusive [link] ) while watching Penguins of Madagascar, It looked awesome, and kinda funny XD ...and Kaos the Evil villain.. sounded like Invader Zim to me XD;....... But also Hey! Guess what?! I played the Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Game Demo

I played the Demo at Toy's R Us It pretty awesome, I really liked playing it and hope to buy it some time soon when It comes out, It may not be right on the date when it come out for me to get it but I will eventually. They only happened to have a few Characters you could play as like Spyro, Trigger Happy, Gill grunt and Eruptor, and some where still in the package (just for show I guess until you really buy em XD) of course I had to be Spyro XD, but I also tried a few other Characters...Trigger happy went crazy with those guns when I played as him

XD and Spyro had a cowboy hat on lol. I also wanted to fly right then and there, but as it seems I had to have an upgrade to have flight (like wow) I didn't have enough coins to buy it in the game so poo XP Oh well. XD The graphics were nice too, I pretty much played it on the Wii when we got there, they also gave me a clear shot of all the Characters on the poster about the game which showed all 32 of them....Okay So, Cynder... let me see here, by the image her chest is parted, but still.. looks like breast anyway.. it just amuses me to no end, I'm sorry XD; I'll still be planning on getting her anyways, would have been nice to see her trailer and stuff along with a few others that weren't shown yet, but it was cool none-the-less. I played with an adult and also a little boy.. there wasn't really a long line (not a line at all lol, the store wasn't crowed), but it was cute and fun. I told my dad that I might pick certain ones that I want, but he said, nah, you'll end up getting them all lol, which I probably might I have no idea XD *hehe but yeah, I really enjoyed myself with it. :3

~SK

*PS Yes, some of it was a tad cheezy looking on the game, as the trailer was, but it still looks okay lol.

At first I was really put off by this game because to me it seemed like they're using the toys feature of it to rake in more money from the game, not to mention Spyro's redesign freaking me out. But I'm becoming more interested in it now after seeing people talk about it. Plus some of the characters do look really cool.

~beast349 Nov 7, 2011

cynder has tits now!

~beast349 Oct 26, 2011

when's ur next journal

~DragonTeens Oct 22, 2011

The has been released today but despite the new look of Spyro and Cynders new look and other random characters it's just not the same anymore plus it's not even considerd a Spyro game its just another game with spyro in it so I rather wait for another Spyro game other then getting something stupid and does not have anything to do with Spyro so no im not looking forward to it but at least there's always Elder scrolls V skyrim.

~bighttydfan Oct 20, 2011

With the spyro comic it's not going the way I expected but it's your comic surprise us with ur ideas and plans

~beast349 Oct 18, 2011

im sory but are u almost done with the spyro comic: Her touch His feelings pg34

~ElectricZoNe444 Oct 17, 2011

Sounds like the game is pretty good, can't wait to buy it.

~Dragonic-Demonic Oct 13, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Sorry but after I saw the trailer were Chaos laughed "evilly" and then started drinking a slurpy... well... why can´t they make good villains any more? I know that it´s far more kids oriented now but still, when I was young we had bad guys that could be scary, funny and cool without resorting to slap stick humour.

Note: There are good villains but they are rare now a days.

And he is human? That sort of breaks a unwritten rule in the Spyro series, it made them feel more "magical" with no humans around.

I do like Spyros new voice though, I have nothing against Wood but what´s the point with a AAA actor if he doss not act? As for Cynders new look? Why did they give her boobs?

The Toys? Had they not made the toys people could have accepted this game more, I could have even considered buying it.

Game play? Well it do look like it plays much like a original and TLoS hybrid, that´s ok but the demo´s I have seen seams to have problems with the controls.

~StormWolff Oct 13, 2011

I have thought about getting this game and getting a few of the figures I like, but the thing is it would cost a lot of money which I don't have much of right now.

~Grassy-Aggron Oct 12, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Every game has its merits. It looks fun, but I won't be getting it.

Besides, I'll be too busy playing Sonic Generations and getting my butt kicked XD
