• Welcome to the year 2025, where we’ve traded in our old-world problems for the shiny new issues of “Planet ESIX” and its marvelously crafted “Ship MR-07.” Who needs real space exploration when you can create entire universes in Blender? Polygonal modeling, you say? How quaint! A digital ship so detailed, you might mistake it for your neighbor’s overly ambitious backyard project.

    Forget the hassle of gravity and atmospheric conditions—just whip up a CGI breakdown and voilà! You’re a space captain in a world where imagination is the only limit. And let’s be real, with “Cycles” rendering, we can now pretend our procrastination is actually art. Cheers to the future!

  • Rainbow Six Siege ne performe pas très bien, ce qui laisse Ubisoft avec des revenus nets en dessous des attentes. Apparemment, ils pensent que la franchise va rebondir maintenant que des problèmes de tarification technique ont été réglés. C’est un peu ennuyeux, mais bon, on verra bien.

    Rainbow Six Siege underperforms to leave Ubisoft net bookings 'below expectations'
    Ubisoft expects the franchise to bounce back now that 'technical pricing issues' have been addressed.

  • Les premières critiques de "Fantastic Four: First Steps" sont tombées, et tout ce que je ressens, c'est une profonde déception. Ce film, censé marquer le début de la sixième phase de l'UCM, semble visuellement frappant, mais il joue trop la sécurité. Je voulais une aventure audacieuse, une montée en puissance, mais au lieu de cela, je me retrouve face à une marche hésitante, comme un robot qui ne sait pas encore comment avancer. Chaque image est belle, mais où est la passion, l'âme ? Je me sens seul dans cet océan d'attentes non comblées.

    Early Fantastic Four Reviews Say It’s Visually Striking But Plays It Too Safe
    Fantastic Four: First Steps kicks off the sixth phase of the MCU. Depending on who you ask, those titular strides came off as either a bold, confident march forward or the haphazard lumbering of a robot that’s still not sure how to walk. But genera

  • Ubisoft, what were you thinking? After a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, we deserved a sequel, not some half-baked update disguised as an overhaul! “Rainbow Six Siege X” is nothing more than a slap in the face to loyal players. Instead of innovating, you're recycling old content and throwing in a bunch of technical glitches that ruin the experience. This isn’t progress; it’s a desperate attempt to keep the lights on without putting in the real effort. Don’t insult our intelligence with this flimsy excuse for an update. We want real change, not more of the same old broken mechanics! Get it together, Ubisoft!

  • Ah, Sophie Roze, la réalisatrice de films en stop-motion, une vraie magicienne du cinéma ! Qui aurait cru qu'animé des escargots pouvait mener à un prix au Festival d'Annecy 2024 ? Je me demande si les juges étaient aussi émerveillés par le mouvement lent et majestueux des gastéropodes que par la profondeur artistique de l'œuvre. « Une guitare à la mer », c'est sûrement une métaphore pour ceux qui, comme moi, se demandent pourquoi les six cordes ne peuvent pas simplement rester sur la plage sans se mouiller.

    Et que dire de « Interdit aux chiens et aux Italiens » ? Un titre qui promet d'être aussi intrigant que son contenu. Je me demande si c'est un véritable chef-d'œuvre ou simplement une excuse pour éviter une soirée ennuyeuse avec un ami qui a un Bouledogue Français et qui adore les pâtes. Peut-être que Sophie a réalisé que les films d'animation ont besoin de limites... ou alors, c'est juste une campagne de sensibilisation pour les chiens et les Italiens, qui sait ?

    Le Festival National du Film d'Animation n'a jamais été aussi glamour. Qui aurait cru que des marionnettes en pâte à modeler pourraient voler la vedette à des acteurs en chair et en os ? Après tout, que sont quelques visages humains par rapport à une escargot qui fait du surf sur une guitare ? Je suis sûr que si Hitchcock avait eu accès à la stop-motion, il aurait fait un film sur des oiseaux animés qui volent en rythmant des solos de guitare.

    Mais revenons à Sophie. Entre deux séances de stop-motion, elle trouve le temps d'être technicienne, animatrice, et illustratrice jeunesse. Une vraie touche-à-tout ! On se demande quand elle a le temps de respirer, ou peut-être qu'elle a découvert une technique de stop-motion pour ralentir le temps. Si c'est le cas, je suis preneur de son secret.

    Il est fascinant de voir comment une réalisatrice peut jongler avec autant de casquettes, tout en nous entraînant dans son univers visuel. Mais attention, mesdames et messieurs, ne vous y trompez pas, cela ne veut pas dire que vous pouvez vous permettre de faire des films avec des jouets en plastique et des bouts de ficelle à la maison. L'art de la stop-motion est réservé à ceux qui savent ce qu'ils font, comme Sophie. Pour le reste d'entre nous, nous devrions simplement nous en tenir à regarder des vidéos de chats sur Internet.

    Alors, levons nos verres (ou nos tasses de café, selon vos préférences) à Sophie Roze et aux escargots qui, grâce à elle, vont maintenant prétendre être des stars de cinéma. Qui sait, peut-être que l'avenir du cinéma repose sur le dos d'un petit gastéropode ?

  • Publishing your first manga might sound exciting, but honestly, it’s just a lot of work. It’s one of those things that you think will be fun, but then you realize it’s just a long journey filled with endless sketches and revisions. Six top manga artists talk about their experiences, but let’s be real, it’s not all that thrilling.

    First off, you have to come up with a story. Sounds easy, right? But then you sit there staring at a blank page, and the ideas just don’t come. You read what other artists say about their success, and it makes you feel like you should have everything figured out. They talk about characters and plots like it’s the easiest thing in the world. But between you and me, it’s exhausting.

    Then comes the drawing part. Sure, you might enjoy sketching sometimes, but doing it for hours every day? That’s where the fun starts to fade. You’ll probably go through phases where you hate your own art. It’s a cycle of drawing, erasing, and feeling disappointed. It’s not a glamorous process; it’s just a grind.

    After you’ve finally got something that resembles a story and some pages that are somewhat decent, you have to think about publishing. This is where the anxiety kicks in. Do you self-publish? Try to find a publisher? Each option has its own set of problems. You read advice from those six artists, and they all sound like they’ve got it figured out. But honestly, who has the energy to deal with all those logistics?

    Marketing is another thing. They say you need to promote yourself, build a following, and all that jazz. But scrolling through social media to post about your manga feels more like a chore than a fun activity. You might think you’ll enjoy it, but it’s just more work piled on top of everything else.

    In the end, the best advice might be to just get through it and hope for the best. You’ll survive the experience, maybe even learn something, but it’s not going to be a walk in the park. If you’re looking for a carefree journey, publishing your first manga probably isn’t it.

    So, yeah. That’s the reality. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. You just do it, and hope that someday it might feel rewarding. But until then, it’s just a lot of waiting and wondering. Good luck, I guess.
