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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

I have a game for you

Journal Entry: Fri Dec 3, 2010, 11:46 AM

Go to the internet archive wayback machine page, look up your old sites, read what you wrote.

Holy shit, if I hadn't discovered 4chan, I would've turned into Snapesnogger.
These guys saved my life.

_{Also I admit that for like, two months, I had a Gaia account.

~SpyderV Dec 5, 2010

Haha I did Gaia for a while.

There was a forum site that actually started me with the internet "life" (and also gave me the "_V" after "Spyder" due to someone having taken that already) a long time ago, it was like Gaia, and you had a character that you decked out in battle gear with points you got from posting and playing games on the site. There was a battle feature where you could fight other forum members in real time with your character. Sadly, I can't remember the name to save my life and it was close long ago.

Trickstutorials.com/forums opened my eyes to the worst parts of the internet (mostly things from /b/). I thank those guys to preparing me to the plethora of fake links I would come across during my internet career sending me to goatse, meatspin, and other things.

~Aki-Masamune Dec 4, 2010

Oh my god, this this THIS. If I hadn't eventually stumbled onto 4chan, I'd have wound up like Jessi Slaughter, I kid you not.

It's also pretty nice to be desensitized to everything.

~aelur Dec 5, 2010 Student Digital Artist

Desensitized is a pretty cool word .Well, some jews called me a sociopath because I didn't bawwww over more jews being killed in Palestine.

~Aki-Masamune Dec 5, 2010

That's so true, it's sad. Nowadays, people automatically think I'm a terrible person because I don't even bat an eyelash when the Holocaust/9-11/Pearl Harbor is mentioned. It comes from seeing countless people openly laughing about it online.

~AntitimeTT Dec 4, 2010 Digital Artist

I wrote wangsty poetry and drew really poorly. Also I was really young so I didn't understand trolling or sarcasm and talked like an aspie.
...I still do all those things, though I know when someone is trolling now.

I don't really go on /x/ much anymore since it really is /b/ with ghosts. I mean, I wasn't there for long but the last few times I've been it wasn't even funny anymore. I miss when /x/ was a wonderland of paranoia and slondermons to me.

~aelur Dec 4, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I understand you. I love /x/ because as a community it's very refreshing, but after years of browsing you get tired of seeing the same things over and over again. Be it the /b/ raids or the same old creepypasta, same old topics, etc. I understand that as the 4chan userbase tends to fluctuate wildly, and usually "regulars" don't spend more than seven months/a year lurking the same board, once a year you see that the /x/philes get interested by a certain topic, discuss it for months, then move onto the next one (for example lucid dreaming, summoning, Yvette's, Tor, etc). As creepy as it was the first time it was discussed for me, stuff like that gets old because /x/philes tend to point out the same stuff, use the same resources, etc.
The only reason I lurk /x/ these days is to see if there's anything new (like a second coming of Vox, maybe?). Stuff like Alice's story, BEN and V's tales are what keeps me interested in /x/.

~AntitimeTT Dec 4, 2010 Digital Artist

yeah, I keep checking up every once in a while to see if any new creepypasta shows up. Used to drawfag every once in a while but I don't draw fast and I'm way too animu for /x/, so unfortunately I don't contribute much anymore. I think people like you are refreshing to see there because you provide the OC it's been sorely lacking lately.

PS. I hope Vox comes back ;_;

~aelur Dec 4, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I don't know if you have seen it, but Vox actually posted some months after she said she'd come back. Someone posted a thread asking about her, and she replied that Beau hadn't come back, and that she thought he was dead.

~Off-Duty-Ninja Dec 3, 2010

Dude, 4chan saved me too. Like...FOR REAL. FOR REALLY REAL. My Aussie bro told me about this neat little place called /y/ and I was hooked. From there, I found TF2chan, learned how to be A FUCKING HUMAN BEING WITH PROPER THOUGHTS GOD DAMN, and then just grew up.

Recently, I found an entry in a journal I wrote when I was 11-12, and it made me want to bleed through my eyes. Without 4chan, I might have turned into...I don't know. A girl.

~aelur Dec 4, 2010 Student Digital Artist

YES. :brofist:
I admit I started as a /b/tard, but I got bored quickly, then moved onto /x/. At first I was scared shitless by everything.
