Cette année je me surpasse : j'ai lu un 3eme livre avant la rentrée ! C'était DES MILLIARDS SE TAPIS DE CHEVEUX, d'Andreas Eschbach, chef de file de la SF allemande. On m'en avait beaucoup parlé, et j'ai adoré la structure qui dézoome progressivement, passant presque de la Fantasy au Space Opéra.

I'm a big sucker for melancholic metal, and President takes that vibe to another level, especially in this. Any citizens around here?

Double feature accidentel ce weekend avec deux films ayant pour titre une ville allemande. D'un côté, un chef d'œuvre d'une rare violence et d'une rare justesse. De l'autre, une parodie de film oscarisable qui ne sait que faire de son sujet. Sacré ascenseur émotionnel - je ne recommande pas.

Featuring a cool comparison between STARCRAFT and a standalone boxed game, which proves that people are still excited by something tangible and meaningful, like, you know, a story.
StarCraft is a narrative-driven shooter with 'a definitive ending' and 'not a seasonal game'
The shooter will have a "beginning, middle, and end," according to StarCraft GM Dan Hay.

I might be biased but... 👀
When I ask you, what's the most underrated Aliens game... what are you saying?
When asked the same recently, I answered Dark Descent.
Terrific game - a story-driven, deeply creepy tactics/strategy title - but maybe not as loved as it should be.
Read about it in Aliens: The Video Games, out now.

“Words are the cheapest things to put in a video game. Sometimes it feels like that means that words themselves are cheap, like confetti sprinkled during a fireworks display, but the words themselves can be the explosions."

If buying isn't owning then piracy can't be theft. Any reasonable corporation knows that.
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.
It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it.

Workers should never pay for founders' mistakes, whether they made a great game or not. But I'm praying to the Force that ZCOM's success helps them get their jobs back.
‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

Fan de techno-thrillers et tout concerné par l'Europe de l'est que je suis, j'ai adoré OÙ REPOSE LA HACHE, une science-fiction politique menée d'une main de maître par Ray Nayler. Glaçant mais fascinant de bout en bout. Second roman lu cet été, je double donc mon compte habituel ha ha.

Getting depressed by the headlines and thinking about the Ukrainian devs who somehow finished their game in the middle of a war. Sure, it's "just a video game," but sometimes being creative is an act of defiance and determination. Sometimes being creative is what keeps you going in a cruel world
