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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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 :aww:
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 :P and it really does help to inspire me with new ideas :D.
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 :dummy:
With all that being said, let's get down to the nitty gritty details!

Speaking to Snakes Contest

Journal Entry: Tue May 15, 2007, 10:02 AM
  • Listening to: Jenny Owen Youngs
  • Reading: Don't You Forget About Me -Cecily vonZiegesar

"SPEAKING TO SNAKES" CONTEST!

NOW CLOSED.

Results/winners will be announced sometime in the next week.
Judges, check your inboxes, I'll be sending you scoring guides so we can get this baby judged.



I am so excited about this contest, I can't believe how successful it's been. 61 entries! Wow! :aww:

*Also, I've added a new judge. I didn't think three were enough with the amount of entries I now have to look over.

-

So ~PersephoneStock and I did a contest not too long ago, and we were so pleasantly surprised; it was a big success! After it ended, we put our heads together and tried to come up with something new and exciting, but finally we both just decided that we wanted to do our own contests first. But I'm sure we'll team up again soon.

Anyway, this is a little contest that I want to try out on my own. The theme is..... snakes!

Here is the scoop: I am in a band called "The Parselmouths", which for those non-Harry Potter fans out there means someone who can talk to snakes.  So the premise of the band (which yes, is also Harry Potter themed) is that we're not only slightly naughty Slytherin students, but we can also speak the language of the snake. If you're at all interested, you can check it out here: [link] :aww:

This inspired me to see what that would actually look like. This is where you come in.

The contest is simple. Make a deviation (using my stock at least once) that includes me talking to a snake. Or at least has a snake in it in some way.

Even though snakes are generally kind of dark and scary, I hope that many of you will be creative with this, and do something really interesting with it. Snakes can be cute, scary, creepy, funny, silly... this contest will be judged mainly on creativity, so keep that in mind!


The Rules:
1. The deviation must have a snake in it.
2. The deviation must use my stock.
3. Contest is open to any medium; I encourage all types. Not just manipulations. The winner of my last contest was a digital painting. :D
4. You may submit up to three entries.


To submit your deviation, send a note to ~intergalacticstock with "Contest Submission" as the subject and a link to your deviation.


Contest begins: Sunday, February 25th.
Contest Ends: Sunday, April 15th.

Hah wow you're on a role.
I think my problem with these avs is that you're using stock of mine that I don't like very much... so it's my own fault they're not sticking for me.
Hahhaa I hate to ask you to try something ELSE, but maybe something that showcases a few more of my stock series' ? Like, an avvie that has 3-5 different stock images in it?
Gosh I'm horrible.

I like this avatar that you made: [link]
The speed is good and everything.
But on the part where you have the text, could you make the bg a hot pink instead of black? And I know my username is too long, so I was thinking maybe it could scroll across? That way we wouldn't have to split it up. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

If you do this I will LOVE you forever. :glomp:

K... I'm not good at flash, but I can recomend you to blackmago, he's a fellow peruvian and he's great with nice flash avatars. Why don't you ask him? Tell him I sent you. He's got some really neat avatars and I know he makes them for people, althoug I dunno the conditions. Just a suggestion, hope it's useful.
