GAYNaGAMER Of The Week: Janus

Name: Janus

While browsing g4m's Ragnarok Gamer's thread, I bumped with Janus' profile who during that time is at Online Mode. I asked him if I could feature him to be the GAYNaGAMER of The Week.

Upon hearing some introduction about gayngame, with no hesitation, he gave in to my request.

gayngame: What is your sexual orientation?

Janus: I am bisexual.

gayngame: So do you have a partner?or looking?

Janus: Meron na po me partner. Live na po kami. (sorry guys, he's taken already)

gayngame: What Online games do you play?

Janus: Ragnarok. High Priest. Level 99.

gayngame: How long have you been playing Ragnarok?

Janus: mmmm. 2004 pa ako nag-start maglaro.

gayngame: So, sa Ragnarok mo na rin nakilala partner mo?

Janus: No sa friendster.

gayngame: Marami ngayong mga bagong games. Magaganda ang mga graphics. Have You tried any other games aside from Ragnarok.

Janus: Gusto kong graphics yung kagaya lang sa Ragnarok. Tsaka ayoko i-try baka ma-adik ako sa ibang games. (mmm. certified Ragnarok fan).

gayngame: How long do you play Ragnarok? Let's say, in a day.

Janus: Minsan 12 hours. 8hours work, 12hours Ragna. Dati nga almost 24 hours ako naglaro. (hahhaha. Adik Mode).

gayngame: Hataw ka a. Ganun ka ka-adik. hehehehe. Wala ka ba work?

pinoygayblogs.com KEEPING US TOGETHER

In the world of gaming,

....... clans are made.

....... guilds are formed.

for a common purpose,

....... to protect one's race.

....... to protect one's home.

-------

I thought of this site,

that maybe playing my favorites online/video games,

would be more fun and entertaining,

if fun is shared with people,

....... of "my race,"

....... of "my skin."

....... no discrimination,

....... no insults.

-------

I salute migs of manilagayguy for creating a space for pinoy gay bloggers. The site seems to serve as a directory of Pinoy Gay Bloggers.

I hope the numbers (list) would continue to flourish, to cover everything about pinoy gayness,

....... from gaming,

....... from coming-out

....... up to the simplest form of information that a gay person needs.

If you are a blogger or if you have a plan to blog about anything, you may join Pinoy Gay Blogs .

Join The Directory!

There might be an information that a lonely gay needs from your blog.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE PLAYING FPS

Do you love to play First-Person-Shooter (FPS) type of game?

Introducing.........

To quote the site introduction,

"We are the Fraggot clan, if you haven't already guessed this is a LBGTS clan, or Lesbian Bisexual Gay Transexual Straight clan. Hence the name frag+faggot. Currently we are BF2, CS:S, HALO, UT2004 and Quake 4 based.

To counter anti-homosexual FPS clans that have been around since the dawn of online FPS itself, we, the Fraggot clan, have decided to invest in one of the first ever fully established LBGTS FPS clans. Our mission is to rally all FPS gay supporters into a clan where we can put ourselves into a position to be an opposition.

We want the gay gamer community to be a presence in the FPS world. There are several well established gay MMO guilds, why not an FPS clan? Join our cause, united we stand, divided we fall. Join Fraggots today!"

See! You are not alone!

To know more, you can visit their site at http://www.frgt-clan.net/e107/news.php. I know this is an international clan. But I hope this will bring inspiration to Filipino FPS gay gamers to make local clans in the future for a more at-home interaction.

BRUCE OF PBB FIRST SHOWER IN SLOVENIAN BB

Watch Bruce's First shower in Slovenia Big Brother.

According to my source, Slovenian housemates go naked when taking a bath. MMM. It's his first time guys. Let's see him again taking a shower the second time.......

HEAR THE DOLPHIN'S CRY

Please spend 3+ minutes of your time. It may not be related to Video/Online games, but I am pretty sure gay people have good hearts to understand what's happening in the real world.

Please Hear The Dolphin's Cry.

Please Be Aware.

SUPER MARIO CREATOR NOMINATED AS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of video games Super Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda has been nominated for the Time 100 list of most influential people. As of this writing, he sits on the 4th place most influential person outranking popular figures like J.K. Rowling, Oprah, and Bill Gates.

Quoted from Time.

PRO: Most successful game designer, creator of Super Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda, whose new platform, the Wii, is currently the top-selling game console.

CON: His perfectionist tendencies often result in games being significantly delayed and, despite the Wii's gameplay innovation, its graphics are far behind the competition.

I WONDER IF MY ULTIMATE CRUSH PLAYS ONLINE GAMES TOO!

Ye!

Have you thought of that?

I hope he plays my favorite Online Game.

I hope he plays Silkroad Online.

I hope he plays Audition Online.

I hope he plays RAN Online.

If he doesn't, then I hope we could play together a special game....amm... amm.... amm...

What????


Baka ma censor tayo.


Anyways, I want you to meet my Ultimate Hunk, Boom Antonio.

BULLY - A GAY THEMED GAME

Have you tried ... errr... Have you heard about BULLY by Rockstar Games (The company that brought us GTA San Andreas)?

I think this is one proof that even in the virtual world, there is a space for gays like us. There is a part in the game where a gay kiss is possible.

Try This!

The game was released on October 2006 by Rockstar Games. Flatform is PS2.

IF HARRY POTTER IS GAY.......

I was browsing youtube when I saw this funny video. Peace sa mga fans ni Harry Potter.

DANCE ONLINE! - Shake That Body

The lacalized Audition Online is a hit in the Philippines. Some consider this as the National Dance Online game of Pinoys (talaga lang ha!).

Well, for the matter of competition and choice, let me introduce to you DANCE! ONLINE by Acclaim. Now on its Open Beta. You can now register for free account at http://dance.acclaim.com/index.htm. I manage to get to the Closed Beta of the game. And I can tell that this game is awesome and fun. Ei! This is FREE TO PLAY!

The game has features that you may not find from Audition Online:
1) The controls are user friendly. Unlike Audition Online, you may use arrow keys or the ASDW keys for left, down, right and up respectively for the commands or combination of arrow and ASDW keys, whichever is easier for you.
2) Compatible with gamepads if you want to shake that booty.
3) Cool Backgrounds
4) Latest RNB songs

A Video link For you.

AUDITION ONLINE - Care For A Tinikling Step

I am sure that lots of us have tried this cool game. Before it was launched in the Philippines by E-games, the company that brought us RAn oNline and O2 Jam, I already tried this through Audition SEA which is an International Server.

I was excited, when I heard that it will be launched in the Philippines.

In less than a year, this game became popular to Pinoys. New songs are added to the tracks' list. Even songs popularized by bands like Sandwich and Cueshe are added for us to feel the local setting; and to really enjoy this game.

Well, I will feel at home na at home if they will also include Philippine Dance Steps and setting like the Tinikling Dance, or maybe the Pandanggo sa Ilaw. What do you think?

For those who haven't tried this game you can check Game Profile through this site: http://clubaudition.com.ph/

See you there!

GROOMSMEN - (Also) A Movie For Coming Out?

Last week, I watched the movie, GROOMSMEN. I know,I don't have the technical know-how to say wether a movie is good or not, but I can say, I enjoyed the movie a lot. And for me, this movie is excellent (based on my tastebud).

Summary:

A week before his wedding, Paulie reunites with his groomsmen to reminisce and rejuvenate. With an anxious fiancé and a baby on the way, cold feet prevail and Paulie looks to his childhood friends for strength as he embarks on his journey into a brave new world.

And yes this movie is also for closeted gay men like me. I was so touched when TC, played by John Leguizamo, admitted to his friends, without too much blah-blah's, that he is gay. And his friends readily accepted this fact without any criticisms.

"Sana pag nag-out na ako as a gay man, my friends would do the same," I said to myself.

Another touching scene is his admittance to his father, who at first cannot accept the fact that his son is gay. But in the end a fatherly love prevailed that no matter, my son is my son, and I would accept wether he is gay.

"Sana ako rin, when the right time comes, I hope my family could easily accept me being gay," I said again to myself.

I would like to recommend this movie to you. An entertaining movie with a heart. Then tell me your comments.

WOULD YOU LIKE HUNKY AND BEEFY CHARACTERS?

There are lots of Online Games I have tried for the past years. Silkroad Online, Rf Online, Ragnarok, Flyff, Rappelz Online, 2Moons Online, Granado Espada to name a few (Few pa bah yun?).

During the actual creation of my virtual character, there are several factors I am considering: Strength, Magic, Ability to Support, Ability to Heal Itself, and (I will never ever miss, and this should comes first on my list!) the looks of my character.

I believe, the looks of your character has an effect on your interaction with other players. Some create sexy looking ladies believing it can attract other male gamers and eventually give them high-level weapons, golds, and other hard to find in-game items. And in some cases it's effective.

While some especially gay men like us would create goodlooking and beefy male characters and maybe fantazising them for the entire gameplay. Mmm. Naughty. Naughty.

So what do you think?
