I miss being here with you guys and drawing so much. I will try my best to at least submit something regulary and reply to all notes & comments sooner as I did lately. (I really apologize for the wait.) I promise. You may slap me really hard if I neclect it again.

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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Someone left $20 in an envelope at Fanime''
Hey guys! :D Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks ^^; after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.


In other news, I will be at Anime Expo at table A24 and A25 :D Hopefully the Knite books will be ready by then!

Two Cons and a Movie

:thumb59930257:





Review is at the bottom of this journal for spoilers.


Cos and Effect





Gonna be heading to Cos and Effect this Saturday. I *think* I will be going as Supergirl, might have to fix something on the costume first tho'
Won't be inside the convention though, as I will be only there for the one day and $20/$25 dollars for one day doesn't seem worth it ^^;

Kumoricon





Got my badge for Kumoricon and will be going as:
-Nice (Baccano)
-Gui (1/2 Prince)
-Link or The White Queen (not sure which one I should take...)

Pottermore





I got in! I might be discussing what happens to me on there if anyone is interested. I am soooo excited especially since the final movie ended (I am kinda in denial, and re-reading the books :XD: ).
SPOILERS BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED








Harry Potter





I have seen this movie twice already and I have to say it's the only one that has made me truly cry. Alan Rickman is amazing! I was afraid he wouldn't be able to show emotion in this movie, but he proved me wrong! :iconsobplz:

Positives:
-The Prince's Tale
-Herminetrix (though I still wish they had stuck the books in that when you take Polyjuice Potion you have the voice of the person you change into)
-Luna/Neville :love:
-The Epilogue (hated it in the book, but it works MUCH better in the movie :D )

Negatives:
-Luna's line at the beginning about the wind chimes!!! DX (she isn't one to refute beliefs, but to believe in everything)
-McGonagal's line about sending the Slytherins to the dungeons (no choice? this doesn't make sense especially considering the whole "it doesn't matter if you are in Slytherin or Gryffindor" at the end DX)
-TEHSAGIRHNEAISRGSHJAFIDS KINGS CROSS!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH RAGE FOR THIS SCENE. Firstly: Dumbledore acts smug the whole time and doesn't apologize. Secondly: He changes his line from "help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it" to "those who deserve it" AND WHO DECIDES WHO DESERVES HELP? When someone asks for help, it's a choice factor and leads us to the final negative:
-Harry doesn't offer Voldemort a choice. The whole series has been about it's our choices who make us what we are, and that has been the difference between Harry and Voldemort, their choices.

All-in-all one of the better adaptations and the worse at the same time. Anyone else seen it? comment below ^_^

Might I make a suggestion, how about going to Kumoricon as White Queen, just because it would be a debut of it?

But like I said it's just a suggestion :bow:

That's what I am doing, and it was my friend who convinced me. Since it takes up quite a bit of space and it's her sister's car, I am gonna listen to her and what she said which is "we will make room" :XD:

yeah... the whole message of the series was a bit messed up. no idea why they did that. maybe they thought it was implausible in a fight scene? who knows.

Basically I don't care as long as my favourite character (Snape) was done justice, and that's exactly what happened. Plus, we can always come back to the books....or the possibility of an anime [link]

Hnnng SO PRETTY! :icononionloveplz:
