Way back in early November of 2008, Wiki(a friend of mine) told me about how he discovered a game called ForumWarz, and how fun it was. Although I had known of the game since early in the year, I had never bothered to try it out, until Wiki encouraged me to. Almost immediately I became hooked, and I especially loved the concept of a browser based RPG that was a parody of various forums, and internet culture in general. Even more than a game though, ForumWarz is also a community in and of itself, and it is this community that has kept me playing this long, probably more than anything.The game itself is simple enough to play, and most of the gameplay revolves around visiting various fictional forums and Pwning them, often for a reward of Flezz(ForumWarz version of money), and for the opportunity of picking up rare items that will boost your characters statistics. What makes ForumWarz work so well is just how community centered the game is, and how easy they have made it for players to contribute their own content, such as new forums, or the enemies encountered at said forum. Besides this, there are other numerous ways to keep yourself busy on ForumWarz. One of the most entertaining is a ladder system called Domination, where whoever has the most scoops on your current team will be awarded a medal, or possibly even 2 or 3 of them, depending on which conditions are met. Another fun minigame, although not as rewarding, is called Incit, and it involves writing a caption for a randomly chosen picture, with the winners decided by voting. Part of what makes ForumWarz so consistantly entertaining is the fact that new content and features are always being worked on, and few games are as rewarding, or get the community involved quite like ForumWarz does. Although the first episode of the game is free, and still lets you use most features of the game, you do need to pay $10 dollars to gain access to the second episode, or $5 if you want to make a second character on your account.  

The game can be found at http://www.forumwarz.com

but be warned, the game is not for those whom are easily offended, as it is a parody of internet culture, and also quite far from being politically correct, so play at your own risk.

Gay Marraige

I dont know about the rest of you, but I think it is insane that gay marriage is not yet legal. People try and say that we are a fair and intelligent modern society, but they said the same thing years ago.


Here is something that a friend of mind, who goes by razor Blades in cup cakes, or something like that has said to me in a message on myspace, replying to a bulletin I had made

I know. Really fucking stupid.

All of the arguments against allowing gays to get married are completely fucked up.

Firstly, to say that gays can't have families is a fucking joke. Studies have shown that gay and lesbian couples have better families because they tend to be better informed, they tend to marry older (if they even can), they don't have accidental children, they are closer with their kids, and are less intolerant of differences.

To say that two gay people who love each other more than a heterosexual couple can't get married because one of them was born the wrong gender? They win out over a technicality? The definition of marriage may be between a man and a woman in the Christian church, but Christians never realize that there ARE other people who don't want their moral viewpoints imposed upon.

And science has told us again and again THERE IS NO truly monogamous, heterosexual species.

People say that homosexuality is immoral, but isn't intolerance and bigotry much much worse?

They can't even get married in a legal, non-church sense! What happened to the separation of Church and State? Is it really that bad to just have a homosexual couple sign a bunch of paperwork that lets them be legally married? It doesn't infringe on anyone's rights (except maybe the couple if they wanted to have a traditional church marriage.)

I just can't believe this obvious discrimination is so socially acceptable.

Then again, if you can ban books, make a harmless plant illegal, and search people's homes without a warrant, then I shouldn't be so surprised.

I have been posting at a few forums and blogs, and I have been happy to find that most young people are above these prejudices. But still, not all of them are. the hatred that has buil up from generations of intolerance fuiled by fear and by religion still seeps through to some.

I really had a lot of hope. California had legalized it some time ago, but then they banned it, once again. Florida and Arizone have done the same. Add in about 20 some other states, and over half the nation has put anti gay marraige amendments into their state consitutions.


Here is another quote, this one however is of myself, and a comment I made at hp forums.




I have one final thing to say. Not wanting gays to be able to marry is EXTREMELY selfish. It is, because you being strait are allowed to, and them being allowed to, would not inhibit your right to marry at all. In fact, it would not be harmful to anyone. Not a single person. No one would suffer from gays being allowed to marry, however many people would be happier. The fact that you want to take away the happiness of others because you are a major biggot is beyond me. Even if you are homophobic, there is no reason to be against it.



The argument against gay marraige has a few forms. I will do my best to counter each one in this blog.



Marriage is between a man and a women - There was a time when Marraige did not exist, this didnt stop anyone from creating it. Thus, since it not always was, it is no an absolute thing. As time progresses, so does society. Using this is just an excuse. If something can be created from nothing, there is nothing wrong with changing that something.

Marraige is a religios ceremony- if this was 100% true, I would have no urge to make gay marraige legalized. The fact is, that it is more than a religion ceremony. It is a legal stature. Because it is recognised by the law and gives special civil rights to those who attain it, it should be allowed for gays. Churches and religions have the right to disciminate and segregate, the law does not.

Homosexual couples would not reproduce- Two things, one being that they would not reproduce if they were gay, or just unionized. Another thing is that over population is the single worst problem this world faces. Penalizing for this by taking away one of the greatest rights we have may not be unethical, but it is immoral.

People will want to marry goats of gays can marry- This is obsurd, homosexuality has existed since the dawn of mankind. It was pressent in ancient china, ancient greece, and in many other ancient civilizations. Beastiality has never been, and will never be, a mainstream above ground sexual preference. Its just another argument that is made of straw constructed by men of straw to cover our eyes with straw to further viel us from what is right.

That is all I have for now, I will write more on this perhaps later. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the new Fallen Knights Fanzine!

This is only our 20th host or something, and only our 5th different format, but let's give this baby another go! This is LoC yet again, and I hope we can now finally begin to get this blog back off the ground. While it may take a few days to get everything completely set up, I am hoping to get the groundwork, and most of our content for the first issue up by tonight. Helping me out with this project will be The Liztress, and a number of others who will be contributing as writers or in other ways. So check us out, keep visiting, and look forward to our September 2008 issue soon to come!

Liz here, I wanted to add to this post a couple of things. First off, if you get have anything you want feel free to let us know! Oh, and let us know what you think of the FKFanzine.

Nothing too important…read if you’d like? :)

Well, this is just me, Lu, posting. I’m really not up to much. I got about 20 mins. to head out the door to give my friend, Steve, a ride home. There, we’ll play the very awesome game, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. We played the game last night and it literally plays out like a movie…so, in a very broad sense, it’s like an interactive movie! Let’s see…what else did I do today? Well, I rented two movies: Skeleton Key and MaxedOut. I’ve already seen Skeleton Key, but dammit all, I just love the movie…and I’ve not seen MaxedOut, but I like movies of its ilk. I used to own Skeleton Key, as a matter of fact–UNTIL IT CAME UP MISSING, THAT IS! I came unto this realization of its absence when I was thinking of what movie I wanted to watch of my 200+ DVD collection one night…Skeleton Key instantly came to mind. And unfortunately, much to my chagrin, the damned thing was missing…so, my mother and I, tonight, wanted to see if The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster, was out on DVD so that we could possibly rent from Hollywood (piss off, Blockbuster!), but sure enough, it wasn’t available. Whilst rummaging through the Horror section, I harked back about how those several months ago I wanted to watch Skeleton Key and it being misplaced. And, lo and behold! the movie was in stock! So…that’s how I came upon Skeleton Key afterward deciding on getting MaxedOut. I think I’ll watch Skeleton Key first, as I like those nights where I have trouble sleeping at night, lol.
