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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

Hi there! Here at RE we believe in the community and equality, and what better way to express that than introducing to you the "regular Joes" that run and help out with the club? That's what I thought, so here we all are!

~ash4love - Chat Manager

'Ello!

I'm Ashlin and I've been part of dA for four years and joined RE in the earlier months. I believe RE was a contributing factor to my successes as a writer. It's quite difficult to find a community of writers that is larger and as supportive as this one. The weekend chats are a great way to meet fellow members and ask for direct critiques or help from all types of writers. Keep an eye out for the journal updates and check out the mini contests for a little challenge and a way to earn some club points!

AHAHA I HAVE POWER.

Hey guys

Hope you’re all well.

Online, I go by Kitana, or KKH, or whatever other random nickname is bestowed upon me. I’ve been part of #RawEm0tion for a few good years now, and honestly, if you want to improve as a writer this is the club to join.

I’m the Competitions Manager, which suits me because I’m… Kitana. O__o Yeah. Make sure you browse around the club!

Hi there! My name is Abigail.

I've been on dA since February 2008 and I've been part of =RawEm0tion since October 2008. I've been a writer since I was 11, and while I started with poetry, my gallery now consists of everything from poems to songs to novels. Writing is my passion, writing is the way I express myselfIf you have any suggestions or comments about contests, or if you have any questions, comments, concerns about anything, or you just need a friend/pillow

feel free to drop a comment or a note by me, I'll be sure to get back to it!

~ScionOfLove - Assistant

Hey guys, i'm Daanish. which means intelligence. sorry, i just had to say that XD. Well this club is great for everything it is, building on our skills, giving us great friends, and just overall, great stuff to read! as for me, I live in Canada, which means i live in an igloo with my wife the polar bear. I have a passion for writing, which is usually based on who ever i seem to be romantically interested in at the time. so, you guessed it. romance is my forte, if i have any at all. Oh right, some of you, (although very few) may also know my other account ~shadowgriffen who is obscure, but still had experience that has passed down to me XD. I love contests! (incidentally i won part of the rawemotion one recently) so it only makes sense i have a role in setting them up!

look forward to working with all of you.

Haha, of course not! The only time I'll be forced to abandon the club is if I get a real life, and I don't think that will happen any time soon
