Does a grievance letter count?

Thanks. Well this whole short story is my interpretation of the stereotypes with gay relationships. The dog part, for me, is like the dog = companionship. And for me, the zombie = people who go for quick relationships. That's why you read the part that there's a gay zombie dating site. And the whole analogy there, it's like people who go for quick relationships (which most stereotype of gay people are) eats up the whole companionship thing in the relationship. It's like, zombie eats dogs for appetizers. The story's supposed to be funny, but I just like the part that I get to put some insights there. I mean most stories are I guess. Again, thanks for reading.

Look at me, I joined last year september. I thought I'd never come back and yet here I am. This is the closest I get to a gay community, a sophisticated one for sure. I may come in and out of the G.A.'s pages but I sure will try to return. And the fact that I write so slow, also hampens me from my writing. I do wish that my mind could record the things I think, or the stories I could write to make it easy, but life doesn't happen that way. Nor is the effort one puts in writing a good story. \

Thanks Trebs. Posted my story reply on the thread.

Done with Prompt 244 & 245. I somewhat combined the two, and didn't realise that there were two prompts. HAHA. I'll post the link here later. I don't think my story is really a zombie apocalypse. I think it's a post zombie-apocalypse with a pinch of Meryl Streep on the side.

My Prompt Me! writing challenge, story response.

OMG, this thread is alive again. YAY! Haha.

Oh god. Shakira's hips don't lie.

I know right. And to think that I was about to sell my ps3 on ebay, cause it was catching dust for some time now. Apparently, Ellen Page made a certain comment about her likeness in the game, because she has an up-coming game that used the 3D rendering of her face, motion capture, and voice. But I think the creators of The Last of Us shrugged the issue since they did change the last image design of Ellie. Although there were some former similarities in their earlier layout design - it was indeed impeccable that they did use of Ellen Page's face. I think they had to change her facial features a bit. But I can't complain, for the voice actor they used for Ellie was perfect for the role. Ellen Page's voice would have made her a bit mature, since the character Ellie was emotionally mature-sounding in the first place.

Well I've read the road and I could see some similarities in its post-apocalypse nature (for sure), and even watched the movie (the one that sucked), but there are differences in the execution. You just either need to watch the cutscenes + gameplay video on youtube or play the game itself to fully understand it. And to think that I read the book yet never mentioned the similarities with the game video. . . because it speaks much of how the two are entirely different. Some say its even based on The Walking dead or 28 days later, but you can't really assume to base something when it's seriously different from how the creator's viewpoint was told. And I don't think the concept is original at all. It's just that in this action/story genre, it's rare to find a game so good at telling the story while enjoying the part where it's a video game in essence. As I've said, I wasn't expecting anything when I played it. . . and I don't even prefer 1st-person shooter games (cause I'm more of an RPG or strategy games guy) and yet having played the 1st 15 min prologue got me hooked - thanks to the awesome voice acting. Lastly, I don't think people view the story concept as original. It's the element of how the story was woven together, which then perfectly balances the gameplay while not sacrificing the plot, thus, made it original. . . even for me. And it's the first survival game that actually felt like you really need to survive. You're not killing enemies to get bonuses. You might be killing the next random stranger you see holding a .45 calibre pistol, not because he's shooting at you, but because you know he will kill you. And if you want to live the next day, you have to kill him before he sees you. And there's no mercy in the gore or the bloodshed either.

And to think that I didn't know that this game existed and didn't kow what to expect of it made it better. I certainly had no clue that this was the most anticipated game of 2012 to be released this year. Only after having played it did I realise that it was indeed a game worth mentioning. And when I looked for it online, and read the game reviews was I then comforted that I'm not alone in my appreciation of this game. There was even a 6 hour movie marathon made on youtube made from gameplays and cutscenes, for those who doesn't have PS3 and would like to know this game. I even watched it yesterday, and only had 3 hours of sleep. It's certainly an amazing game. You definitely have to play it once you get your hands on it.

Video games is a perfect marriage of cinematics, story telling, musical proses, inductive and deductive thought provoking scenarios and sceneries that all explains why millions and millions of people of all ages and gender, whether young or old, appreciate the sentimentalities that creative directors, story designers, graphic artists, and the like, would like to pertain to its audience. If one can watch a movie, read a book, hear music, be entranced by a story, then one can marvel at the beauty of what technology can bring to its template in order to create stories where players can play, decide, choose, be amazed, and live in the worlds that video games evoke. If I for one would not spend my whole of summer vacation when I was 15, just by playing Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. If not for the fact that I wished to be immersed in the game in all its aspects, not because I was bored, didn't have friends to spend my lazy afternoons with, or wanted to be amused for the time being. . . But instead, I wanted to live inside the creators imagining of what a world that reflected my own, would be. Video games is an art. Because as much as we try to deny it, the best video games out there are the ones that makes us enjoy every escapade of what the story is hoping for us to experience. If a painting made of lines can evoke emotion, if a movie scene be forever kept in your memories, if a music can remind you moments that were reminiscent of a certain emotion, then video games can bring you to a world that brings you closer to versions of our realities. . . and that for me is magic.

Has anyone played this game, because I just finished it and all I could say is WOW... WOWW. WOOOOOOOOWW. And WOOOOWWW. And of course, AMAZING! I've never played a game before that tackles the human condition so well, for it to translate into a game. I haven't been playing any game on ps3 lately for the past 2 years because I do have my career, and my graduate school to worry about on a daily basis. I choose to play games on my PC anyway, since I can bring it anywhere and anytime. Unless I come prepared lugging a luggage, and inside a 60 inch flatscreen tv with a playstation 3 that I could plug in the airport or in a coffee shop. One of my friends got an extra copy of The Last of Us Game, cause he was planning to give it to his brother as a birthday present (he realised that the game was not too PG-13 for his little bro), and decided to sell it to me when the disc box-set was lying around in his house last weekend when I came to visit him, and I got to play it for at least 15 minutes. Not really play it, since it was all cutscenes at first. But bloody hell, was I hooked. He said that he pre-ordered the game for months now. Knowing myself that I'm very particular in playing a game that resonates with my emotional tugging of strings, or mentally challenging my cranial hemispheres; this game did both exceptionally well. This story could be pretty much be based from an award winning novel for all I know (and I know it's not) because the storyline is amazingly well-put together and the narrative is fantastic. I nearly bawled at the first 15 minutes of storytelling that happened in the game's cinematic, as I sat on my friend's couch. I screamed at him and said, "I can't believe they did that! This is so unfair. How much do you want for this? I need to play this game now!" He said, "$50 au." as he turned off the PS3. He wanted to surprise me further and didn't want to curtail my longing to play the game. And because he knew that I might have slept at his house and sat on that couch for hours, and might have destroyed our plans for meeting our friends that night. So I basically spent the whole weekend playing this game. So for those who have played this, what are your insights? I really felt like I didn't play a PS3 game. It was more like I read an amazing book, that happened to be a 17 hour film prose. . . which became a game in its own right. And the ending was so emotionally jarring that until now, I still have some questions of my own morality. I'm not saying it's in a bad way, but for me, it's a good way.

I read the last paragraph in a book or story. The ending paragraph for me surmounts the means to start an end. Yeah, I'm weird.

Wow, the evolution of shitty food that basically goes to your chin, shin, cankles, back-abs, man breasts, belly flop, and love handles. There was an exchange student back in my high school days who use to love vienna sausages. . . the disgusting canned ones. I was like, "Mate! We have fresh made sausages in the market, we even have veggie ones for vegans." And he said to me, "No dude, youre australian pizzas are healthy enough." He turned out to be the stereotypical smelly fat american room mate who relied in pizza, fast-food, and all you can eat burgers laced with sodium that makes your pee fizzle with uric acid, which equates to rancid pee smell even after you flushed down the toilet handle. I don't mean to offend any americans out there, but his diet was just horrendous and his sheets smelled like swiss cheese. I think all that chemicals from the food in his body produced that lingering sweat that stank big time. As for the twinkies, he has boxes of these packed and shipped from his hometown in Nebraska cause he misses home, as he reckoned. He doesn't have photos of his family yet he has a box of twinkies that could last him a month. Correction: It mostly lasts around 1 to 2 weeks, depending on his mood if he lost to his opponent while playing Warcraft. I did have a taste of his Twinkies. It's too sweet and tasted like chiffon cake. I mean, why not make a chiffon cake that you could bake. It's easy as one two three and you don't have the shitty chemicals ruining your body in the long run. I'm not a vegan, but I sure do love my veggies and sometimes prefer something organic. I don't care if it has tons of butter, but make sure the veggies are fresh.

My muse is my username. There's always something fascinating with men whose name is Henry. *giggles* I don't really get inspired with coffee since I'm not a caffeine junkie. I don't even drink that much coffee to tell you honestly. I'm one of those people who drinks a Chai Tea latte and puts some nutmeg and a dash of chocolate sprinkles at Starbucks, and pretends that I belong to my circle of friends who lives on caffeine as they go on overdrive while sharing their stories. And besides, I'm always naked when I write. I feel that clothes hamper my creative juices.

From what I watched, the male ligers are not sterile but the female are sterile. There was one incident when a female Liger in Munich got pregnant and produced a Li-Liger. The obvious father was a Lion and the mother was a Liger. The limits to cross-breeding is if both parents are ligers. Male ligers do have testosterone in them but apparently still cannot reproduce beyond the genetic make-up of their genes. All you need really is a group of female ligers and 1 male lion to make up a liger pride. Then BAM! Pokemon begins. Haha.

Well, I've seen the series up to episode 6, which I think comprises the whole 1st season. The first few episodes took a bit of time to soar through and there were funny moments but entirely it was a bit flat. Up until episode 3, and episode 6 were hilarious. As for the campy-ness, Ian Mckellan's character was not entirely camp and I think stands for the whole patriarchal figure in the family. And he delivers his lines with such male bravado despite lines which overtly hints about the stereotypical gay verbiage (which I think is fantastic). And so is Derek Jacobi's slightly effeminate campy role, because I've seen more campier character than he is - trust me. They're great together as a fun couple to watch but the script needs a bit of fine tuning. It's getting there and I hope the second season has more episodes. There are comedies out there that doesn't get a gay character to be "In Your Face". The american sitcom, "Happy Endings" which I think is so underrated has an exceptional gay character called "Max" that is not the stereotypical gay character you see in the telly. He's the gay slacker and underachiever in the cast, which I think is a different take on homosexuality. Not only did I not realise that he was gay in the first few episodes but only when his girl friend mentioned that he was indeed gay, made me more interested in his character, despite already having a riot with his character and the whole cast. And the fun thing about Max is he's a slob, and he doesn't have those identity crises and he knows himself fully well. He's the gay college room mate who is set to become your bestfriend who turns out to be gay and has zero chance of being attracted to you, because you just know each other too well. Homosexuality on the glittering screen still needs some readjustment and eventual evolution to truly capture the individuality that sets aside gender, whilst focusing on personality differences for a character role. We just need to see more of Max-like-characters in most gay series: the non-stereotypical gay dude who doesn't need to look at you like he's about to eat your face to know that he's gay, or gives out disturbing sexual innuendoes that he wants to shag you.

No wonder the moon was as bright as my headlights last night. I was hoping Edward would jump from the bushes so I could run him over. This reminds me American Werewolf in London. All you werewolves out there. Please clean up after you're done with eviscerating your meal. My rose bushes died last year from all the human guts and blood in my garden. And I will not tolerate all the howling in my backyard. Do you copy?

I watched a documentary about ligers. Ligers grow as big as they are because lions and tigers have this gene inhibitor that limits their growth, compared to ligers where the genes just exponentially is let loose. And they're are fast and as dangerous (if not, more dangerous) as their counterpart lions and tigers in the wild. But can you imagine if you see a Liger out in the Prairie lands of the Savannah Africa. They'd probably wipe out the whole elephant, rhino and giraffe population. Ligers hunting in packs is intriguingly horrendous. Imagine these 15 feet cats straddling on your back. If I were an elephant, I'd wish I was Dumbo and fly away to safety. I think they have this disclosed agreement with tamers and zoo's not to let out any ligers out in the open or release them from captivity. I'd rather they stay cute, cuddly, and lovely as they are. Rather than succumbing to their natural instincts of hunting in the wild like their parents.

This bitch started it all. Torturing and bedazzling crustaceans and arthropods is a big no no Lady Gaga. Bad Gaga... BAD! I think this reminds me of the 5th Element Diva.

I can't imagine her tripping on stage and blaming the props designer for the reason of her death. YOU'RE WEARING SPIKES ON YOUR FACE! That's not normal. You need a timeout Bjork. Anyhoo, what's normal anyway. If I have all the money in the world, I'd buy her and put her on top of a christmas tree or probably just decorate her as she is. Saves me bucks from buying a tree. Future Hubby: "Honey, when are we putting up a tree?" Me: "Babe, just get Bjork out of the garage and put on the light installations. Oh wait, there's a plug under her armpit... Get the socket from there and plug it to 220v. Future Hubby: "Alright. But where are the xmas balls?" Me: "Hang on, I just need to remember where I put Lady Gaga somewhere. Oh yeah, she's right under Madonna. They're at the basement babe."

OH GOD! There should also a photo op for the people of Surfer's Paradise in Queensland australia. The horrors I went through growing up as a child. I remember one time when we were at the market, and this big lady walked beside me to check out the mangoes. She has walking barefoot with her bathing suit, which comprised of nickers from the late 70's (the boom of the porn industry) with the most hideous looking scrunchie atop her split-end a maine of hair. I remember being scared and imagined myself being stuck to her butt cheeks and hoping not to die because her arse was so close to my face, being that I only 7. You know, people don't have the right to dress that way even if the beach is a few meters from where we were standing. It was a hazard to society, especially to young traumatised kids like me.

They already did. Foreign sales already reached their studio expenses. A sequel is on its way.
