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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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!

Ebay

by ~Izile, Sep 25, 2011, 9:16:32 AM
Journals / Personal

So, things are getting really tight over on this end, so I'm trying an experiment. Some people say ebay is still better to sell with than etsy. I dunno. So I'm going to try it out. I have listed the From Faerie - Dark Storm Ritual Water on ebay starting at $0.99. So, if any of you were curious about it, but not sure, this might be your chance. The Labradorite I used in these is worth the $0.99 alone.

Also, Kiriban is now under 100 page views away!

Kind of holding off on making new vials until the kiriban is over, because I've only got enough sterling silver wire for definitely one, maybe two vials left - and I'm having a hard time buying groceries at the moment, let alone renewing supplies.

Might have to have a big sale soon just to try and keep Izile's Oddities barely afloat through this.

~DragonnessMekolai Oct 4, 2011

Awwww

I stalked the page so much! Oh well, congrats to you guys

I had checked every 30 minutes today and missed it by 10 so you guys are lucky! (I do have a picture showing the number btw juuust in case)

~Izile Oct 4, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

if you have one that says 50,010, no one else has submitted one that close after the tied winners. I could give you a 2nd prize of 50% off any pendant in my shop, but that's about the best I could do.

~DragonnessMekolai Oct 5, 2011

[link] This should say it

I'll have a look around and see what you have, I was looking for something blue/water element like or something blue with opals.. I'm not sure if the 50% off counts for custom ones or not

~Izile Oct 5, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Sorry, very low on supplies, so the 50% off is only on premades that are for sale in the shop right now. I need to generate more funds so I can order more bottles and wire.

~DragonnessMekolai Oct 5, 2011

That's fine, I understand!

I'll have a look around your shop! I've been meaning to buy something from you and its almost my birthday anyway, plus it would be great to help support you

Do I send you a note on here with what I want first or do I need to do that through Etsy itself?

~Izile Oct 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

You can do either way, just let me know which one you want before you pay and I'll go in and knock the price in half and mark it as reserved for you.

~DragonnessMekolai Oct 6, 2011

I definitely want Lil Love

So I'll choose that one for the discount, and try to decide what else I want to go with it! My Etsy account is Mekolai

~Izile Oct 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

it has been reduced to $6.00 and is now marked as reserved for you.

~Izile Oct 4, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I didn't know it was possible to have a tie, either. I looked at both of your screencaps, and they both show exactly the same time and exactly 50,000. So, I simply cannot afford to give away 2 customs for free, so I had to go by who submitted their picture the first. goldacorn submitted her link in a note one minute quicker than Autumn-Fyre posted her screencap here. So goldacorn gets the free custom pendant. Autumn-Fyre, since you are such a close 2nd place, I'll give you any pendant that is in my shop right now for free, but I can't afford to make you both a custom one right now. I hope that works for you guys! Please send me notes with what you want.

=Autumn-Fyre Oct 6, 2011

Congrats to Goldacorn!

I completely understand, Izile.

It's really tough keeping business afloat in this crappy economy, so I don't blame you at all.

I actually was going to send you some of my own components for this one anyway, so it's probably best all the shipping craziness didn't get into it, really.

I'm leaning toward the Golden Fire, one, I think. Also, though, I'm currently bidding on the Dark Storm water on your ebay account, so if I don't win that I will be making a purchase from your shop for that as well. In either case, would it be possible to ship the two together, so that they arrive at the same time? And, if you still sell the empty vials, actually, would it be possible for me to purchase one of those too?
