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have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"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

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.

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

Hey everybody!
Ive got one more DD, and it was really surprising (as always),...hope that the "shipyard-painting" really deserve it!;)
I want to say thank you to all of you, for your pleasant comments, support and notes! Sad thing is..I dont have much time to reply (as always) :(

But! More paintings are coming and I hope you will like them! ;) (even if you don't, say what you personally do not like, and I will try to fix my shitty technique :nod: I like constructive criticism :))

Well, thanks for another DD again!

Хэй спасибо! :wave:
Да я на самом деле считаю что техника у меня дерьмовенькая, грязная, я рисую очень интуитивно и по большей части не понимаю что делаю :XD: Надо с этим бороться, рисовать более конструктивно чтоли.. Еще очень многому предстоит научиться! :)

Нехватало еще художнику конструктивным быть :D
Ну разве что смотря какой художник, наверное :3 Но мне очень нравится.. и даже наоборот порой неряшливые мазки, легкая неопределенность придают работам свой шарм и стиль :) В целом то работы выглядят очень слаженно и профессионально! Хотя о профессионализме не мне судить, но я себе разрешила! ха :)

Ну конструктивным быть иногда полезно =D Я имею ввиду например когда речь идет о какомнибудь концепте интерьера или космической станции, там нужно быть очень точным и конструктивным (с чем у меня проблемы кстати :XD:), тоже самое касается многих аспектов дизайна. Нет, на самом деле я ОЧЕНЬ люблю всю эту неряшливость, экспрессивность, динамичность, но порой она просто...не работает в некоторых аспектах рисунка :) Вообщем хотелось бы найти какойто идеальный баланс между тем и тем, к чему я сейчас и стремлюсь. Сложно все это для меня, ибо я в начале, так скажем, своей творческой жизни рисовал почти в импрессионистической манере, вот мне и трудно прийти к чему то действительно конструктивному)))

~Yuusuke-Ando May 3, 2013  Hobbyist General Artist
Да, неряшливость у тебя класная..хахах :)
Ой, у меня ландшафты, интерьеры и прочее - слабая точка.
Я вообще их не умею рисовать,а про космические станции совсем молчу...
Но в принципе, кажется, понимаю о чем ты - концепт-арт на то и концепт-арт, что передает идею дизайна, а поэтому в некоторых случаях точность особенно важна, чтобы сделать идею как можно более живой и настоящей. А что для этого надо знать? Кроме перспективы, наверное есть еще какие-то важные детали...
п.с. не знаю, может ты видел уже..Я люблю смотреть иногда уроки этого художника: [link]
Reply
:iconsanchiko:
*Sanchiko May 27, 2013  Professional Digital Artist
Хах, спасибо еще раз за неряшливость! ;)
Даа интерьеры у меня тоже слабая точка..ведь у меня нету НИ ОДНОГО интерьера вообще! :omg: Было нечто симулирующее интерьер, но это не в счет..Так что нужно над интерьерчиками работать, однозначно.
Ну кроме перспективы я бы отметил еще знание цвета-света, композиции :) Но главное конечно это твоя креативность - какие ты идеи выдаешь, вот что главное в концепт-арте. Можно чтото гдето криво нарисовать, и анатомически неверно, и чуть в перспективе соврать, в концепт-арте ценится в первую очередь дизайн а не художественность исполнения :) Хотя тут от задач зависит, и чего от тебя хочет арт-директор. С иллюстрацией совершенно другая ситуация - там вот как раз художественность и всякие красивости выходят на передний план =D но там идея не так важна.
да-да я его тоже люблю смотреть и слушать, он оч дельные советы дает! Как видишь, концепт-арт вещь не очень сложная, тут в первую очередь нужно иметь хорошую фантазию, а уже потом технические навыки, о чем Фенг и говорит.
Но мой любимый художник конечно C.Mullins! Может быть ты его видела, я просто тащусь от его стиля и подхода к рисунку: [link]
Извини что долго не отвечал, дурацкий месяц был, времени ни на что не было, вот недавно появилось :dizzy:

спасибо за разъяснение :3 Вот идеи - это самое сложное, помоему! Т_Т
Нее, не видела такого художника! а крутой... красивые рисунки. Кстати, я не помню..может уже спрашивала. Ты рисуешь в основном к играм?
Хаха...чувствую себя полным профаном х)))))))))))
