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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

XBOne... fixed.To everyone who says picking on Microsoft for their consumer unfriendly bullshit was "being unnecessarily mean," take a look at this. Don Mattrick just announced that Microsoft is back peddling with the XBOne, removing the disastrously awful features we've been bashing them for trying to inflict on us.
    Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
    For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

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

Before we get into the details of this upcoming contest, I'd first like to point you in the direction of the newest dA News Article recently published by PPdA. It features a whole load of fanart from Pixar's Up, and it also features quite a few pieces of artwork submitted by members of this club, so have a look!

Pixar's 'Up' Artwork on deviantART

Also, the Member List has recently been divided into three due to the large number of new members that we've been having. It's more organised like this, and it also stops the page from taking too long to load.

Another change we've had is that due to the high number of members submitting artwork, when browsing the gallery it is no longer possible for each member to have their own folder of artwork. So, instead, it's been organised alphabetically, so if you are looking for a particular member, you can look in the folder of the first letter of their username, and their artwork can be found there. I'm in the process of organising all of the artwork into each of their respective folders, but it should be sorted out soon!

So, now it's time for the last contest of the year!

PixarPlanetdA ID Contest

The Theme- The club needs a new ID, one that has characters from all of Pixar's films so far!

Requirements-

The artwork must contain at least one Pixar character from each of Pixar's feature films up to Up. It can be any character from each film, and you can include more than one character from each film.

It must contain either the name PixarPlanetdA or the abbreviation PPdA, and this must be predominant.

Any creative art form is allowed.

Each member can submit up to three entries.

It must not contain any obscene references- keep it universal, please! Any explicit entries will be ignored.

And that's it! Be creative, and make sure you follow these dates and deadlines-

Dates-

Opening date: 1st December

Closing date: 1st January

Voting will begin: 2nd January

Voting will end: 15th January

The winner will be announced in the first journal after the voting has ended.

Prizes-

The picture will be the club's featured deviation until the next competition.

The picture will also become the club's ID for the foreseeable future.

The winner will recieve a one month subscription to deviantART.

The winner will be inducted into PPdA's Hall of Fame.

Any questions about the competition? You know what to do- just note PixarPlanetdA!

~wilterdrose Dec 16, 2009

eek, i've started... i'm half way through.

but it's looking a bit cluttered .. I'm moving them all about and having a re-think.

i was trying to do everyone the right sizes, but it's hard when you have toys, cars, humans and fish hehe. Anyone else having troubles?

EDIT: I've had a different idea now hopfully this will work...

~Da-1-n-Only Dec 21, 2009

I'm with ya there...

Basically what I'm doing is compromising the size differences a little bit. I'm making them small/big enough to fit, yet believable sizes in relation to each other...

Working so far so good for me..

~DolphinMoana Dec 7, 2009 Student Filmographer

Just out a curiousity - is there any chance you might extend the deadline with it being the time for finals/exams and getting ready for Christmas?

#PixarPlanetdA Dec 7, 2009

Well, the contest is open a whole month, which is usually long enough, and I myself am going to be neglecting the club in January as I have exams at the end of that month, so I'd have to extend it into February which would be a bit too long. When do people usually have their final exams in the US, out of interest? I'll try and figure out a time that suits everyone.

~DolphinMoana Dec 7, 2009 Student Filmographer

It differs. Usually it spans from anywhere in early December to mid December.

#PixarPlanetdA Dec 7, 2009

Hmm, okay...My exams start from mid January and end at the end of January, so it's a bit of a tricky time. I might have to leave the competition dates as they are at the moment, as with it closing on the 1st of January, at least there's sort of a week after Christmas in which exams don't take place. Any later, and it'll go into the time when I do my own exams, and I'm not going to be on here enough to organise the end of the competition at that time.

Sorry about this! It's one of those awkward times of year, but next year if we have another competition around this time, I'll try and start it in the middle of November to get a compromise.

~DolphinMoana Dec 7, 2009 Student Filmographer

OK.

Cool. Thanks!

~wilterdrose Dec 1, 2009

does the ID entry need to be a certain size?

#PixarPlanetdA Dec 1, 2009

Nope, though of course it can't be too small or too big. But just a normal-ish size should do, as I can always resize it if needs be.
