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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

www.CosplayCircle.com

I'd like to invite you guys to join www.CosplayCircle.com. The site is still pretty new and we are currently working on it. If you want to help contribute or fix the site just lemme know. There will soon be contests with tangible prizes (figures, cosplay accesories, clothes, etc) that require you to be a member for some time with a certain number of posts in the forum. If you have cosplay queries, we can help each other there! (Eg. What cloth to use, Where to find wigs, make-up, etc) ^_^

3m Kiriban Contest

It's a time for giving! It took fairly a couple of minutes to get from 2,998,000-3m+. Yup, I was watching the whole time and I missed the big 3m by 48 views. Without further ado, I present to you the winners of my 3m Kiriban contest!

*kaminary-san with 3,000,003 pageviews

~Reskiy with 3,000,002 pageviews

~harmony06 with 3,000,000 pageviews

~gcbancod with 3,000,003 pageviews

~rensgrl333 with 2,999,998 pageviews

These are the first 5 deviants to send in their entries and each of them wins a charm from me!

Congratulations to these guys and of course, thank you to everyone who submitted entries. Over 50 deviantArt members joined and sent me a note. Anyhow, my next kiriban would be....*drum rolls* 3,100,000! I'll be picking out only one winner this time because I'll be doing the kiriban more often to be able to give you guys more chances of winning. Probably every hundred thousand. Fun fun!

Techie.com.ph

I've been keeping mum about this but finally, Summit Media gave me the go signal to let the cat out of the bag. Yup yup, I am now officially part of their team! I'll be working with them about the latest geeky stuff and gadgets because I'm proud to be a geek. Are you? If you are or at least fascinated with gadgets, hop on with us!

The White Hat Charity event Aftermath

The White Hat Charity Event Aftermath/discussion here!

August 30, 2009
The White Hat
Shangrila Plaza Mall

Speaking of giveaways, our charity event with The White Hat last Sunday was pretty successful. We were able to raise P45,195. So half of it, P22,600 will be donated to the Got Heart Foundation! Thank you to everyone who went and supported the event!

It was nice to see people supporting charity events and I am glad that the cosplay community responded very well to such an event. Through our community we can extend our help to those who need it most. Through our community we can touch other people's lives. Isn't that a great feeling?

The White Hat Yogurt is our new fave fro-yo (frozen yogurt)!

Got Heart Foundation's mascot, Mr. Tin Man with a heart! Awww!

Photo Wall!

Interview for Channel V

Here we are behind the yogurt bar. May we take your order?

The toppings were so hard to resist. Imagine having strawberries, blueberries, cherries rich in syrup all in front of you. Torture!

~orangeish is getting tempted!

..whew! Serving our first few yogurts!

This is how it looks like from behind. Can you just imagine having these toppings available in the comfort of your own home? We'd gain a few pounds though. Not because of the yogurt but because of the toppings overload! Hahaha!

People hanging out at The White Hat! It was pretty much a more social event. Everyone was in the same place, photographers, cosplayers and spectators so approaching each other was not a problem.

We also had a little cosplay contest but it was just something casual. It was mainly to award the Best Cosplay Trippers during the event!

Please buy a cup of yogurt for charity!

Sisters! ~orangeish happy and *BlackMageAlodia panicking!

Ok, so this is the machine that squirts out...that doesn't sound right...that makes yogurt. It looks like the machine that makes Sundaes too.

Spoon!

Little window!

Basketball players lined up to get their fro-yos too. Paolo Bugia and Rich Alvarez, former Blue Eagles! (Thanks to ~KokushiMusho for the info!)

After a few hours of serving, we finally announced the winning CosTrippers of the day.

Best Crosdresser CosTripper - Milan Pascual as Haruhi
Best Kid CosTripper (since we didn't have little kids aged 10 and below) - Katrina Celoso as Asuka Langley
Best Male Costripper - Miggy Panlilio as Skurai
Best Female CosTripper - Monique Dimanlig as Geisha ~MorningMiracle

Ash, Milan, Katrina, Miggy, Monique, Me and Eric Chao (Marketing Head of White Hat)

(clockwise from top left) RG, Pete, JM, Resh ~Reskiy, JP, Ash ~orangeish, me and Adrian.
