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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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

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

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!
*****************************************************************

_{_{goddammit, i told myself i wouldnt cry but i am anyways..

i love all of you guys and i thank you with all my heart. you are all so dear to me. <3

all day, i was crying. i cried so much, that i thought my tears would run out. but they kept pouring that i couldnt stop.

i didnt tell anyone. so no one knew.

i was driven all day today. what a horrible way to mourn.

i was stuck in the back seat of a car for a good 8 hours alone. but i guess i needed it.

as my ride was driving me around, every time they sped up or drove illegally... i wished i got into a car accident.

i wanted the car to drive into something so bad.

every time they sped up and drove crazily, i closed my eyes and wished with all my heart to get into a car crash.

and it was because for some reason i felt like the universe would switch us. switch who would live and who didnt.

this was the first time in my life that i wanted the universe to choose me instead of someone else.

and i didnt care.

because Jessie is a wonderful person, and i wish i knew her more.

i kept thinking of how much the world is unfair.

so many thoughts crossed my mind and all of them made me wonder so many things.

i havent spent one minute not thinking and mourning about her.

this feeling sucks so much..

but i believe she deserves it.

i didnt even personally follow her blog, and i knew nothing about her. but i still wanted her to take my life instead.

this should of never happened.. this is so unfair..

i wondered so many things.

i wonder if she is watching me right now mourning.

i wonder if she wanted others to cry.

i wonder if she wanted to be remembered as 2p france

i wonder what she would say if she saw us all like this..

..i wonder if she wants us all go attend her funeral...

... i know i would...

she died so young, and its all so.. is so unfair.

its unfair, unfair, unfair..!!

i became so depressed and angry at the world, i snapped at 2 people today. it was horrible.

im no good with deaths.. but this made me so heart broken and.. i couldnt function the whole day.. that must say something..

and i thought

"what if i died tomorrow?"

"how would anyone know?"

"what would anyone do?"

life is unpredictable.. i wish i could go back and find out more about Jessie, and get to know her..

... and i just wanted to say..

if i died young

got into an accident

or ended up in the hospital

i want someone to log into my account

and announce it so everyone can know

because i dont want to disappear

not like that

and at my funeral, i want to be laid in a bed of bright red roses

and be dressed casually

i want everyone to be invited

yes, that includes those who are on the other side of the country

i want my day of death to be the anniversary of a usuk wedding, because i can

and i want all my hetalia family members to wear hetalia. because i can.

everyone must wear red. dont forget that.

i want someone to convince my family for this to happen, and to pay for everyone's plane ride to come visit <3

i want to give away my hetalia stuff in my room to all my watchers. i dont care how, ship it to them or something.

i want to be buried back in my home land. or sent away in the ocean on the beach of where i was born.

i want all my doodles n' papers with drawings on them to be scanned and uploaded. so everyone can see what ive been up too.

i want to buried with my glasses on

and i want to there to be a chocolate fountain at my funeral. preferably 3, because chocolate fountains are good.

and.. i want everyone to wear a rose on their chest. where their heart is. even me. <3

ah. no one should think that they have to follow every single rule in the world. life is too short. live life to its fullest.

make people remember you. <3

everything you do is worth something. there is no one alive who isnt important. and everyone should just smile. because smiling makes other people happy and feel good. and everyone deserves to feel that way.

dont waste one second. do whatever makes you happy. enjoy life while it lasts, because who knows what will happen tomorrow.

i love you all so much. please dont forget that. <333

thank you.

-Jelly

//edit; okay, re-read the 2p blogs and im sobbing my eyes out. my chest fucking hurts so much right now.
please, universe. if you can grant me just one wish, i want you to take me instead of her. thats all i ask. so please..

beek.. anyone.. if you are happening to read this i.. im so sorry... i know how much this must hurt but.. i wish i was there to help you and comfort you.. oh god, brooke, im so sorry...}}

Jelly, you can't wish for death on yourself, even if others have died... D; Live for her!! I'll bet she wanted you to be happy!! In the end, we all have to move on, though we still should remember, right? Yes, you can remember and cry over her, and we all will, but you have to live your life!! Jelly, you deserve to be happy, okay? ;u;

=CarbonatedLimes Dec 11, 2012 Student Digital Artist

However much we wish we could trade places I think we should continue living in memory of her. She was a wonderful person.
I know I don't know you all that well, but I still want you to know you've made in such an influence on me. I'm really glad to know you and talk to you when I can, Jelly!

*SpottyMcMeow Dec 10, 2012 Student Digital Artist

_{Oh Jelly! Don't kill yourself over this! Saying you wanna die hurts me inside to hear. We love you very much so! I don't like seeing you like this! It makes me sad.

I know how you feel and I feel the same way. I lost many good people in my life. Jessie was awesome! She had a beautiful 2p!France ask account! But don't think she wants us to remember her in tears, but in her art. But If you still need a shoulder to cry on I'm here for you!

If you died on me, I would regret everything! Your Amazing, Jelly! Never forget it! You know I would come to your funeral, even if it killed me! I would wear that rose proud on my heart to remember you! I would never forget you, Jelly, NEVER!!

I can't really hug you and say 'Everything will be alright' because I know it's not true. But Jelly, stay strong! Not just for me but for your watcher, fans, and Jessie.}

~jadchan Dec 9, 2012 Student Artist

I'm so sorry. I cried while reading this. Trust me dear, I know what you're going through; it has happened to me before. I'm sorry if this offends you but I just want to say that I think Jessie wants you to live a happy life and not morn over her death too much. I think she wants you to live life happily; not sorrowfully and in pain. I just wanted to say that dear.

~TheBroken-Glass Dec 9, 2012 Student General Artist

ah.... god.. i think... i think im seriously going to cry... ive heard of people dieing on the news, and i"m a little depressed, but i never quite cry.. and i dont know why. but after i read your journal entrys, and found out what happened..

fuck...

i.......just......

there are no words.

none.

....all i can say, is i wish i could hug you straight through that goddamn computer screen right now, and hold you tight..

because in these situations, you..you just need... someone to cry with.....

!StorybookofHope Dec 9, 2012 Hobbyist

I know how you feel... I honestly do. Last year my best friend died in a car accident while I was on the phone with him. It was horrible... It was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me. I remember the feeling of wanting to die. Wanting to take their place... But you can't, Tea. You can't take her place. Death is the worst thing in the world, but it does happen... I wish it didn't, but it does... But dying won't help that. You need to live, and be happy. You have to live. That's all you can do. As Damian told me once, "Don't be upset because they left, be happy that they were there." I know it will be hard, it will be, but you have so many people here who will lend their shoulder to you to cry on. I'm here for you. Even if you don't want or need me to be. I promised that I'd always be here for you, and I always will be. I've gone through so much death, so if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

Just remember that we all love you. Because we do.

- Molly

~PrincessCelestia908 Dec 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Aww Jelly, don't wish death to yourself, everyone here loves you. I consider your as one of the bestest artist and friend i ever had. You're sweet, kind, adorable.

Deaths are really sad, i know, it breaks our hearts into alot of little shards. Don't forget that everyone here wants you to feel better. I hope you feel better soon

~Beyond-Invisible Dec 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm sorry you hurt Jelly, I wish I could give you hug.
And don't forget that we love you too, and I consider you one of my best friends. Please don't wish you were dead, we all love you and it would hurt people just as much.
I wish I was wiser, or that I had something better to say.
_{And I wish I'd taken the time to look at this girl's things before, because now... It just seems like it'd hurt, even if I didn't really know her at all.
_{And please, please don't forget that we all love you.
If there's anything I can do, just... Let me know okay?}}

~xXNeko-BakaXx Dec 8, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Geez, it took me a bit to read this with out tears, but still I stated crying.
I understand how hard death can be, trust me. But no matter what, sooner or layer we have to go on. Everyone dies at one point or another, but sometime people die young, and you wanna blame and hate everything. But you can't. You have to push on and keep going, that's the only way to make it through.
But seriously, don't wish you were dead. You mean to much to me, your friends, and your watchers. If you were dead, I don't know how I'd press on, but I know I would do what you said. I rather have you live a longtime though.
You know I love you, and I'll be here to talk if you need someone, I've gone through 4 deaths, and 3 suicides in the last 2 years, so I understand the feeling. But like I said, I'll be here if you need me, and if you don't, I'll just wait here till you do.
