My name is Steevin Love. I am a video game, art, comic book and cosplay enthusiast, who has an un-questionable love and appreciation for all people who dedicate their time, energy and lives to all of the above.
I work as a video editor by day... I've even won an Emmy for it... But I have a secret desire to commit my life to artwork, I just haven't quite found my niche'.

Oh Galactus opener, you will be mine.
Aries- Eat your children, scream in your face, stomp around in a murderous rage for 10 minutes then return to normal as if nothing happened. Think ‘the Hulk’.
Taurus- Will pin you against the wall and suck your fucking soul out. Be prepared to sit there in agony for hours as they bring up every tiny mistake you’ve ever made in your entire life.
Gemini- Short burst of insults and hand gestures followed by a few ‘yo mama’ jokes at your expense. Then they’ll get bored and leave you wondering what even happened.
Cancer- These people will use passive aggressive behaviors on you and ‘forget’ important things to you. Not too bad, until you corner them. Then you’re going to have an emotional meltdown on your hands. Punishment by sympathy.
Leo- Yelling and screaming and pacing in circles explaining to you exactly why they’re better than you. A common phrase used in a Leo burst of anger is “YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS”. Luckily, this drama fest is over within a few minutes and they won’t hold it against you.
Virgo- Anger fires up their whiny glands! They’ll first complain about everything you do and then pick you completely apart making sure to mention the faults you’re especially self conscious about.
Libra- Will never LOOK like they’re being mean to you, but will sling clever insults at you until you walk away feeling like shit about yourself. Most of these insults will come from relationship experience and poor choices in fashion.
Scorpio- Won’t scream at you, just stalk you and murder you in a bathtub. If you’ve cheated on them, expect to be tortured and killed slowly. They’ll most likely keep a souvenir of your body to show their next suitors.
Sagittarius- Will get red-purple in the face and then proceed to run as far away as possible as to “not hurt you”. Possibly gets a snow cone later that night.
Capricorn- Normally they’ll yell at you and tell you you’re incompetent. But if you’ve truly hit boiling point, expect shit to start going wrong in your life. Your back account will go mysteriously empty and none of your friends or family will speak to you.
Aquarius- These guys will first hide and then call you and scream at you. They want you to know they run shit and that they control how the fight goes. Once you’re on the phone with them, they’ll make sure you stay on the line until they’ve told you what a piece of shit you truly are.
Pisces- Run into their room and scream into their pillow. You might see some angry/sad Twitter updates but when you ask what’s wrong, they’ll reply “nothing”. They’ll continue to sulk until they decide to forgive you.
Pisces is super fucking accurate though. If I’m mad at you, expect vauge, pissy tweets and tumblr posts.
What’s funny is that is basically what I did when I saw the Dark Knight Rises and I was PISSED
Pretty accurate depiction of my Aries/Taurus anger.
Well ok Kesha, maybe it’s because you’re an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn’t be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it’s not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it’s not at all good . It’s not positive either. So complain some more.
I don’t know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.
Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn’t make her a piece of shit.
Ke$ha’s songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.
She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.
If you listen to Ke$ha’s deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn’t meant she isn’t a good artist or a good person. This doesn’t mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that’s hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a poet.
You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you’ve never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it’s not Ke$ha.
You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less ‘deserving’ women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far away to go.
BURN.

“Why should we care about women’s representation in video games?”
“Nobody is going to want a female protagonist!”
“Their target audience isn’t big enough to warrant any games!”
“Women aren’t as capable as men, they don’t belong in video games!”
“If more women starting playing video games, maybe then they’d have a say in the matter!”
Pretty much the only reason I’m not as excited about GTV as I should be… Groundbreaking Gameplay, Huge Living World, New experience, 3 New playable protagonists… none of them female.

Today brought an experience that reminded me why I do what I do. I love marine life (surprise!), love to paint marine life, and hope that my work can inspire people to care about marine life just a bit more. I also hope that through sharing my art more people can experience…
Archangel, Jean Grey, X-23, and Cyclops… they’re some of your favorite Marvel X-Men characters and they’re the subjects of some incredible art by our MFA artist Steevin Love! Swing by and check out these and more stunning designs, all available as tees!
guys PLEASE do not buy the xbox one
do not buy any video game console that is so anti consumer and one that shuts out small video game retailers
I actually went on the official site and I read the rules
this is actually accurate, very accurate
Holy FUCK! That is terrible!!!
I feel this needs a clickable link so people can read for themselves.

I‘d like to point out though, that though they really should re-think this whole 24 online thing, and the whole 30 day requirement to give a game away thing is kind of weird.
Should also note the following:
You can share your entire library of games with 10 people. With a well coordinated group of people, this can actually be incredibly powerful, however it isn’t stated anywhere whether or not you’ll be able to play those games at the same time. But imagine buying a game once and being able to share it with the ten people you communicate most with, or they buying one and you being able to play it. I could easily trade off with my friends Brian or JP for single player games. Tomb Raider, Assassins Creed… you know.. those games you really only play once through anyway…
However it isn’t stated that there wont be some sort of “offline pass” situation like I’m sure there will be for multiplayer games.
It IS stated however that any game in your “home” will be available to play to anyone. Which is just how it is now, the difference being that they are trying to maintain a digital environment, so you don’t have to use your physical discs to play.
When it comes to trade ins or Re-Selling, It is stated that Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games. Which means, they are trying to come up with a way to digitally track if the game is in your library or not. The above concern on how this will affect the market is a great point, and a very real issue, but it looks to me that Microsoft is trying to find a way ease us into hardrive based game-play. I don’t think this actually a bad thing, I have started to do this already, but they really need to do a better job of communicating this, and come up with slightly different strategies if they want to sell copies of their very terrifying for consumers boxes.
Regardless, posting these types of memes is important, because Microsoft REALLY needs to address these concerns… but I think it’s important that you read the info for yourself.

Alright, if you’re a consumer and you’re considering picking up the new Xbox One console, then please, take a moment to listen to me. Before we begin, no, I am not a fanboy or a hater. I have no console Bias. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and a Gaming PC. Each has their pros and cons but now onto business.
DO NOT BUY AN XBOX ONE. Why? See the reasons below:
Xbox Requires an internet connection. Here’s how it works: Every 24 hours your Xbox will try to connect to Microsoft’s servers for verification. If it is unable to connect, sucks to be you. You’re blocked from playing even single player games until it can connect.
Source: http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-does-require-internet-connection-cant-play-o-509164109
Do you like renting games, lending them to a friend, or even borrowing them from a friend? No longer possible. Every Xbox One game you get must be registered to your Xbox live account to be played. After that point it will only work for you. No one else can use it unless they pay a fee. Essentially it works like this. You pick up a used Xbox One game from somewhere or someone, pop it into your console. The system verifies it’s been registered to your account. Uh-oh, it isn’t! In order to play it, you have to pay Microsoft a fee, which is currently slated to be full retail price. Doesn’t matter how scratched up it is or how cheap you got it at gamestop or from a friend. You aren’t just buying the physical copies anymore. You’re paying Microsoft for a LICENSE to be allowed to play that game.
It is worth mentioning Microsoft is exploring ways for you to trade in and resell your used games. This is rumored to mean that you can sell your digital license to play the game (registration) back to microsoft, likely for microsoft points. You can then trade in the game at gamespot for some cash if you like. Either way, as it currently stands, the new owner would still have to pay a fee on top of the price of actually buying the physical copy.

Is it worth mentioning that Microsoft if shafting Indie Developers as well? Where as on Playstation Network or (whatever the Wii has) Indie Developers can self publish their content easily. Playstation even encourages this. Microsoft however forces these Indie Devs to enter publishing deals with them to be allowed to market their content. You don’t go through them, you don’t get to sell what you developed.

I’m not quite done yet! Now, I’m sure you heard a lot about “TV TV TV TV SPORTS TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV.” Yes, the Xbox is slated to be able to stream live tv, live sports, etc. So let me ask you this. You obviously already have something like cable or DirecTV. Do you really want to shell out hundreds of dollars more and pay a monthly subscription fee to have another television provider? Yes, I said hundreds of dollars, and I don’t mean the cost of the console. To view live TV from the Xbox you are required to purchase ANOTHER separate device for it to work. Why would you even consider shelling out more money for something you already have anyway? Even if you didn’t, DirecTV is cheaper. Or you could even subscribe you Hulu.com and watch live tv on your computer. FOR MUCH CHEAPER. You essentially have to buy another cable box if you don’t have one. And if you do… what do you need the Xbox One for?

So far we’ve discovered that the Xbox One is not really a gaming console, at least… not a consumer friendly gaming console. It’s being marketed as an all-in-one home entertainment system. Something to replace all of the other devices in your house. But there are drawbacks even to that. Put on your tin foil hats for this part folks. Take from it what you will, all I’ll say is… possibilities…
The Xbox One’s features will not function unless the Kinect is plugged in and active. This is not an optional piece anymore.
Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached
So imagine your Kinect piece breaks? Tough luck, no more Xbox for you. But you know what’s worse?
Pay attention, because this is important. The Kinect is always watching. Always listening. Even when the system is off.
Yes. One of the ways to turn the system on is to audibly say: “Xbox On” while the system is off. The Kinect, which is always on, hears you and turns it on. Now this might seem like a cool feature, but did you know Microsoft patented a feature that would allow the Kinect’s camera (It’s no longer just a sensor, but a camera) to spy on you for the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America?) While they may not actually do this, it is actually possible for them to do this now. It has a camera, and a microphone. The Kinect is always on. It is ALWAYS listening, ALWAYS watching.
An idea has been tossed around that by using this feature, it will allows game developers and movie produces to set a limited amount of how many people can be allowed to view the entertainment. So as a hypothetical example, you and three friends are watching a movie, which is the maximum allowed. A fourth friend enters the room and the Kinect’s sensor registers the fourth individual. The movie stops and you a prompted to pay a fee so that the extra individual may also view the film. Again, that is NOT currently the case, but these are the ideas currently being tossed around with the system’s current capabilities.

Now, just two more things and I’ll be done here!
This isn’t really a good or bad thing, but it’s annoying. It also explains how they can prevent you from playing a used game if you didn’t pay their fee. Xbox one no longer plays games off the discs, you HAVE to install them to the hard-drive in order to play them. I believe PS3 also has you do this (on a number of games but not always it seems), except that PS3 isn’t trying to Nickle and Dime you at every corner. It also seems according to this article there is something related to the Online portion at the beginning of this post. The option is there for Developers to require the Xbox to always be online to play their particular game. Well, it seems PC gamers and console gamers have one thing in common now… DRM.
(At least pirates on PC can bypass DRM easily. Not an option for Consoles.)
Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352314/xbox-one-hard-drive-game-installs
And last but not least, another annoyance… Xbox One will not be compatible with any and all current headsets. Nope, companies will either have to make new headsets altogether specifically for the Xbox One, and they have to adhere to what Microsoft wants. Look forward to price gouging.
Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-incompatible-with-current-gaming-headsets
Oh, one more thing… If you have an Xbox 360, don’t get rid of it. Why? Well if you want to keep playing your old 360 games you’ll need it. The Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible. At all. Not only that, but President of Microsoft’s Xbox Division Don Mattrick insults the very notion of backwards compatibility! He calls it: “Backwards thinking.”
Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4350662/new-xbox-has-no-backwards-compatibilty
Source of insult: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/4355984/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-backwards-thinking-don-mattrick
That is all I have to say currently folks, and I hope you took the time to read this far. I’ll conclude with the following… please… PLEASE do not buy this console. Paying for this supports greedy and anti-consumer business practices. Speak with your wallet, and pass up the Xbox One. No matter what games it might have that you want, even if they are exclusive. Do the right thing and make a statement. Refuse to be nickle and dimed like this. Refuse to be seen as a mindless consumer who will buy anything tossed to them.
We won’t know much else until after E3, but as it stands now, the PS4 or a decent gaming PC is the best way to go.
If you are willing to do so, please spread this post around. Liking is not even remotely necessary, but do please share it if you agree with and acknowledge what you’ve read here. The more people know, the fewer of them waste their money.
Thank you, kindly.

(Originally posted on Facebook by one of my friends. He brings up many valid points. Mind you, I haven’t been a fan of Xbox in a long time and I will most likely get a PS4. But this confirms further for me that I won’t be getting an Xbox one any time in the foreseeable future.)
what the fucking hell
Is this for real? Like legitimately for fucking serious real? Because XboxOne lost me at must have internet connection to play single player games.
Re-blogging for the well written statements and the sources, even if these things end up just being speculation, I think it would be good for Microsoft to know that the consumers shelling out the cash for things might not be happy with all of their decisions.
My only ever complaint with the PS3 was the real lack of true online gaming support, and not being able to stream music through your network… Outside of that, I really thought the PS3 was superior…
Where they started their mistake, was the ridiculous price point…
But hey I was a PS gamer with One and 2. Maybe I’ll come back for 4!
When i turned 18 I think I had this reaction to my mom getting me a car, I think it was suppose to be a happy surprise. But I was having a bad day, could feel my girlfriend at the time pulling away, and I really wanted to pick it out with her I think, I wanted to be part of that experience…. So when I got my car I felt like I was stuck with whatever was given to me, instead of letting me choose what I was going to be investing my paychecks into… I ended up really grateful at the end, and loving that car… But I was a douche when it happened… I’m just glad I can look back and laugh at how horrible I was.
