Works in FF4 for me, but not in Chrome. Interesting.

Trying to get the hang of songwriting, having difficulty. Attempted chorus of what would probably be some sort of pop song:

Down on your knees
Praise your new master
Do as I please
Or I'll cause disaster
I am that boy
The one you betrayed
I'll make you my toy
I'll make you afraid

Either through inexperience or something else, I can't see anything technically wrong with it, yet it seems incomplete.

That's not bad. Maybe you just gotta repeat the last two lines a few more times to make it a bit longer and wrap up the chorus.

Hellos guys!!!

Its the retarded Serbian! I have a question! Since my little bro came to my house and completely ruined my guitars strings i need to ....erm sharpie...or something (in Serbian we say Nastimovati) the strings i think i got the first tone on the E string but i dont know what frets to press afterward! HELP!!!

Um so by first string you mean you toned the high E? If you got the low e its easy. A is the fifth fret on the e string.

I'll go into a bit more depth with what James is saying. If you've got the correct note on the 6th string (The thickest string, closest to you when you're holding the guitar), the next string's tuning will be the same note as the note when played pressing the 5th fret down on the 6th string.
Observe this diagram:
e|---------------
B|---------------
G|---------------
D|---------------
A|----0----------
E|----5----------

When you're playing the 5th fret on the bottom string, the next string up should match the same tone when played open.
Just do this with all the strings to tune it properly. Take time to make sure the note is the same or else you will not tune it properly.
NOTE: The 2nd string should be tuned by pressing the 4th fret on the 3rd string, NOT THE 5th FRET.

Hopefully that helps. Or you know, you could google "online tuner" or something.

Just got a guitar, any advice?

It's an acoustic.

Download L & M Guitar (Learn & Master Guitar; it is a series of tutorials for different instruments, e.g. there's L & M Piano etc) and stick to it. It's what I did. Or get someone to teach you.
This is assuming you don't already know how to play it.
