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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Updates and Sales

Journal Entry: Tue Feb 12, 2013, 7:32 PM

_{Hi guys. Just letting you know that my Migidoll Oscar head is still on sale. I keep forgetting to bump up the thread on DoA for him. He's going for $110 + shipping and the price is negotiable. Here's the DoA sales thread, there are more details there: [link]

Pm me please if you are interested. I hope the head will find a good home soon since I don't have any plan for him.

As for some updates on my part:

I ordered Levi's new body already. And Alice's Collection told me that the body might actually be in-stock, they just need to confirm with the company again. ^^ I went with white skin and hopefully that will work out.

I'm closing my face up commission for now because I have school and work from Monday 'till Saturday, from morning 'till night, and I also have a lot of homework. I really don't have time for commission, and I'll just finish up the ones that I have right now, then close the service until I find more time. Sorry about it.

Then of course the late replies lately because of my schedule. And sorry for any cut-off replies because I usually reply straight from my iphone recently, and sometimes I accidentally hit the send button before finishing the replies >.< I'll try to get better at this.

Phew, what else... I think that's it. ^^ Have a nice day everyone! I'll try to get back with my photography soon on Ren's birthday, which is on the 21st of this month. His first birthday with me. ^^}

~Sicktress Feb 14, 2013

I'm soooo happy you're going to add more photos of Ren! He's my favorite of your dolls!

I hope everything goes well with your studies!

*Yuki-Arisu Feb 14, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Thank you dear

I've been neglecting Ren lately,

I'm going to make time for him soon!

~bonanamon Feb 13, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Yay for Levi's new body~ ~~so does that mean he'll be taller than your other boys? Plus points for Levi's manliness~~~ I hope it matches with the Migidoll WS

ooh, school work ~~I see that you're high expectation asian father would be very proud of you~~ xD It's for ge better for you to temporarily close it so you can spend time with your friends and family ~~and I'm hoping I can reserve a slot when you 're accepting commissions again~~. And rest too

Oh, it's okay

I'll wait for your replies... I really enjoy our conversations ~~and I'm really happy that you reply to me, I really admired your dolls and photography skills before I even made a deviant account xD //shot I hope you enjoy chatting with me too xD~~

Yay dollie bdays! XD Will wait for his photo. ~~And Mu/not Kisa anymore's no tshirt photo that you promised me xD maybe when you're on vacation~~ We hope you have a good day ahead of you too.

By the way the mako eyes I ordered has been received by our GO organizer/coordinator/leader (?) I'll have it with me in a few days

~~but the Fairy Jina head I ordered hasn't arrived yet T.T~~ I can't take picture ~~with a digicam or anything really cause everything is either faulty or has no battery Dx~~ but I'll try my best to tell you if it looks good or something like that xD I ordered a very light blue one ~~which I forgot the name of and can't take a look at their website 'cause when I check back on the tab where dA is open, the webpage refreshes itself and everything I type gets deleted~~. I haven't ordered the Licht wig yet, maybe sometime around March instead of February.

Wooh this is long o.O I'll try not to do this again.

*Yuki-Arisu Feb 14, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Yea, when Levi gets this body, he's going to be the tallest. lol I really like this body and so I'll be blushing it, and doing a tattoo on him. You know I never liked tattoo, but just today I saw one on a person and it was ARGG, it was just exactly what I like! So I'll be putting something similar on Levi but at a different place.

That's really sweet to hear. I didn't know that you knew about me before you made a DA account. How did you find me then? Because I'm not very active on DoA or Tumblr, mostly just DA.

Ah sorry I forgot about shirtless picture of Kisa. I made that promise? =.= Old lady forgetting stuff here, sorry sorry T_T

And yea, I would love to see the eyes whenever you are ready! No need to rush dear. I'm very forgetful these days also.

~bonanamon Feb 15, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Ooh, I know what you mean. I didn't like tatttoos at first but after finding a design that I liked *dances in joy* Now you got me curious~ Can't wait for Levi showin' off his new bod and tattoo. I hope you take a lot of pictures xD and some nekkid ones, too

I've been lurking here on dA for more than 5 yrs already xD it's just that I didn't really see the need to make an account before I got interestted in the hobby. xD Mostly through google searches when I was lookin' for some Migidoll owner photos. Levi caught my attention and I even stumbled upon your Crobi Lance.

No, worries. I know you got a lot onyour plate already. Maybe when you have more time xD

I'd be able to get it on Feb 23 or after that. I'd be able to put it on my Fairy Jina's head xD They shipped it out last Feb 14 and he arrived here in the Phils the next day xD

~Shailara Feb 13, 2013

Awwwwww, I hope you find more time soon sweety ;v; I like seeing new face-ups from you! Also, yay for body >v< Hope it'll be a good match! But even if it isn't, I never really found myself minding it with Ramy (my chloe boy who's body is yellowed a lot but head is brand new). Well, good luck with that!

*Yuki-Arisu Feb 14, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

I would love doing face ups for your dolls my dear, but I felt bad about the EMS shipping cost between US and Greece. So friggin expensive!!

~Shailara Feb 15, 2013

Y-yea TTvTT;;;; But I still like seeing any kind of face-up you do for anyone, not just my dolls UwU

~Majikaru-Rin Feb 12, 2013

I'd love to check out the head but I don't have an account on DoA so I can't see the thread

oh well xD

*Yuki-Arisu Feb 12, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Ah, it's just a blank Migidoll Oscar head in white skin. Completely brand new.
