on my Belgian King
I promised a note somewhere on my Belgian guy, so here it is. I'm trying not to give names and locations here (Belgium is suitably vague, I feel), so Belgian Guy he shall remain. He's my King because I played Utopia (A web-based game) for awhile and he was King there. Old habits die hard.
Now my Belgian Guy is very cool, and I like him a lot. That said, we do have opposite opinions on many things from politics to work and video games. However,that is changing; I feel his influence in that I'm more sympathetic to the poor these days, and he's now studying and working and stuff (though I doubt that's anything to do with my study regime.) Some things never change; I'm never going to like Command and Conquer. Being different is great. Gives us something to talk about.
I must add at this point that there is no romantic interest involved here. I will write about romance as I see it some other time.
Belgian Guy has a GF in Brazil. I will admit that at first this struck me as a doomed romance, however I've known him for ages and a day and they're still together. It flies in the face of conventional wisdom on long-distance relationships, and it's damn nice to see people happy in love for once. Now my friends in real life never seem happy for long...but thats another Blog entry and shall be written another time.
He's also the only person I really like playing online games with. I play Age of Mythology online too, but it's not fun, as such. Playing Age of Mythology online is a search for a fun game, because when you get a good game it's really really fun, but mostly you end up against experts who thrash you, newbies who are too easy to be any fun or a bad civilisation matchup which means you never had a chance in the first place because they're Isis, or else you face some 13 yr old guy who insists on calling you a wh0re, win or lose. You keep chasing the fun though. If you've ever played AoM online, you'll know what I mean. If not, think of it as online Heroin, only without the dying. But back to Belgian Guy. He's a good sport, and challenging too!
I offload problems on him too. After all, who's he going to tell?
I believe everyone should have an online Belgian Guy. It's nice to have someone to discuss different ideas with and play games with and insult. Just keep your paws off mine!
