Reasons why it's not a good idea to play an online Turkish game...

My friend introduced me to this free online computer game called Knight Online. It's one of those ones where you make a character and go around killing crap to level up and stuff... you get the idea. BTW, my name is LoveLoss. Gay, huh? lol :D

Anyway, after playing this game for a few weeks, i have come up with a few reasons to stop...

1. The players all speak Turkish. I have had to say "Um... I speak english" more times than a tourist. O_O See image 1...

2. When people do not speak your language, you cannot tell them to PISS OFF. See image 2...

3. After playing for a few weeks, i was informed that 'um' means 'c**t' in Turkish. Whoops... Now i know why some people went crazy when i told them i was English.


Maybe i better just stick to normal games...


PS thanks to milkboys for linking to me. Their blog list is pretty damn big but i'm sure it will help me out a bit. :D

Random vids of an Aussie star

Man, i tell you, Shaun Micallef has to be one of the funniest men on Australian television. I can't help but laugh at pretty much whatever he does. His brilliant comic timing, along with with his quick-thinking mind and improvisational talent makes him so damn great.

He's also pretty damn handsome, in a George-Clooneyish kind of way. :p

Here's just a small sample of his stuff. The first is from his latest TV show - Newstopia on SBS, and is a dub over an Iron Chef Japan clip. Although he doesn't appear in it personally - he's in the second one.




LOL! "It's a nice plate though..."

The next one shows him in his earlier days from an old TV show called the Micallef Programme... i think. I was too young to watch it when it was on :p

Here's the website if you're interested.

Don't forget to check out some of my older posts too.

And leave comments :D

When in doubt...

Just thought i better 'gay' my blog up a bit. PS - number 4's my favourite :D






Aww... so cute :p

The lonely orphan, the heartbroken leader, the compassionate ex-prince and the remorseless mercenary.

Be prepared, this is a long post.

It doesn't matter what the plot of a story is, if the characters are engaging you will find it exciting.

If you have the best idea for a story, but you can't find the creativeness to make some great characters, there is no way people will return to read more.

The characters are the single most important part of a story. It's that simple.

Here are some important things that unfortunately a lot of people forget:

Every person thinks differently.

"Would you like some apple?"
"Yes please. I like apple."
"Yes, me too."

NO! BORING!

"Would you like some apple?"
"Eeeurgh! No way! I hate apple!"

A bit better... As hard as it is to make apple exciting, when people don't think the same, it means they disagree, and disagreement means conflict, and conflict makes a story exciting.

Following on from the last point, not everybody speaks the same.

"What do you think? Should we go with them?"
"I guess we should. Okay, i'll just get my things."

Some people talk like that... that's okay, but how often do you get two or more people who talk the same way in a conversation together? And since when do you speak with proper english? This is not a daytime soap.

"What do you think? Should we go with them?"
"Urr... I suppose. Wait a sec, i'll just grab my stuff, kay?"

It is important to give each character their style. As a story progresses it it gets much easier to get inside their head when you know exactly how they talk.

Not everyone is an orphan.

It's okay to have one or maybe two, in fact it provides a bit of excitement. But believe it or not, some people see their relatives every now and again, and they may want to catch up with them or at least give them a call.

Relatives are also good way to introduce secondary characters, and if you kill one or two off, it provides a great way to add a bit of surprise to the story, especially if you don't want to kill anyone important to the plot, but want to stress your characters a bit.

The traditional love storyline has been done to death.

People are much more open to the sort of modern day or non-traditional relationships these days. These are some of the examples i've used myself...

The gutsy chick and the quiet, sensitive boy.
The young male leader and the older, and heartbroken woman.
The bisexual male criminal and the friendly but naive friend.
The boy with a crush on his straight adopted brother, and the gay friend who adores him but goes unnoticed.

Guess what, love's complicated.

People get tired, they get thirsty, they get hungry, and they get in a bad mood.

And they complain about it too. By giving a character a loud peronality, an annoying voice, and then making them hungry, you've just set the scene for an amusing argument and confrontation.

Yes, there can be too much information.

Nobody cares what the temperature is, and they don't want to know what type of earrings the woman behind the desk is wearing. It's enough to say the the sun was shining down and the breeze was dry, and then get on with the important things.

Speaking of getting on with things, that was a long post, and i figure a lot of you aren't going to read it so I'll just say goodbye and thanks if you did. It's hard for me to have a gay blog and a writers blog at the same time, so... yeah... :D

Celebrating 100 views.

Believe it or not, about 100 of you have checked my blog out so far. My blog is still in my infantile stages so that's a great boost for me! My pessimist side told me nobody would read it - nobody would care, but we sured showed him didn't we. :D

To celebrate, i changed the layout of it, although there are still a few kinks i've got to work out.

It used to be a boring black but i've livened it up a little. What do you think? Is it okay? Think it's too bright? Comment! :D

Thanks and see ya soon!

Even more happy days :D

My first link :D Thanks to jake annonymous for linking to me from My Life on a Wall - www.boysbestofficial.blogspot.com - check it out! Now!

He's a really nice guy too and he added me on msn, and that means i've now made two friends from my blogging adventures. I am now no longer a lonely boy and it's all thanks to the kindness of strangers, i guess. Keep 'em coming people!

HAPPY POST.

I feel a strong need to post now, seeing what i wrote yesterday. You see, today is a happy day for me. I only started this blog just over a week ago and good has already come of it. I've had a few nice comments and a really really nice person added me on MSN. And guess what? He lives only 3 or 4 hours away from me! What are the odds of that??? Anyway, i just thought i'd mention you, Lach. Hehe. Thanks.

So life isn't all that bad. And it turns out that some people are actually reading this, which came as a surprise to me, and you seem to take pity on me haha. :D

To be honest, i thought you were only really interested in the blogs with cute boys and big dicks, but i underestimated you all, it seems. It's really nice to be wrong when you're a pessimist. Haha, that's a good saying. :D


Anyway, i want to take this opportunity to ask the people reading if they have any ideas for my next story. It's called Hope Hurts and takes place in a fictional world where two religions reign supreme - light and dark. People use weapons like swords and stuff, but people also serve their gods by doing things according to their religion and are rewarded with magic and powers for pleasing them. Therefore the two powers try to recruit more people to their side.

The story revolves around a boy called Skylar. People can see GREAT potential in him, and so an important light person gathers a group of fighters and prepares to take Skylar to the faraway temple of light, to set in stone his light side and make him a great light hero.

And so i'm asking for any ideas. Who are these fighters? Who do they meet on the way? Which places do they visit? I especially need some cool sounding names. So please, leave a comment, even if it's just a couple of names. And no idea is stupid, trust me. You need a lot of 'crazy' ideas to make a story work.

Of course, i won't get my hopes up. I am, at heart, a pessimist.


I'll post something with a decent topic next time, probably tonight. I wouldn't want to lose my readers by boring them to death with tales of stuff like that haha.

And of course, i want to thank you all for reading, every one of you. :D
