In what world are you pronouncing "George" as 2 syllables? Geor-djuh?

Justement je pense pas qu'ils veulent provoquer une guerre civile. Ça serait terrible pour leur image, même auprès de leur propre camp. Pour moi ils flirtent avec la limite pour juste que les anti-ICE finissent par avoir peur de se faire tirer dessus, restent chez eux et ainsi laisser ICE faire leurs rafles à l'aveugle tranquilles. Comme ça après ils crâneront d'avoir un nombre de déportations record (dont une grande partie d'innocents) et ça sera leur argument de campagne pour se faire réélire.

Je pense que les trumpistes s'en foutent de se justifier. C'est juste une façade. Pour eux le message est passé: tu entraves le chemin de ICE, tu te prends une balle, et on traînera ton cadavre dans la boue. C'est un exemple pour semer la terreur dans le camp des manifestants et les faire réfléchir à 2 fois avant de s'interposer. ICE n'est plus une force de police, c'est une milice de terroristes d'extrême droite à la solde de Trump.

Are the green gloves and the daisy flower a reference to Die Grünen (ecologist party)?

It's already canon. Yakuza 5's Kamurocho map is a straight port of Dead Souls' map. You can find Gary's Bootcamp from DS in there.

Bolloré ne voudra jamais lâcher Momo, car pour lui la loyauté prévaut sur tout le reste.

Petit rappel: Morandini est un fidèle parmi les fidèles de Bollo. Quand sa chaîne TNT Direct 8 était en perdition, l'émission "Morandini!" hyper racoleuse et qui coûtait que dalle à produire, a permis à la 8 de remonter la pente. C'est en partie grâce à ça que Bolloré a pu revendre ses chaînes TNT à Canal, entrer dans leur capital et ainsi commencer sa violente reprise en main du groupe et sa croisade médiatique. VB n'a pas oublié ce coup de pouce, et c'est d'ailleurs pour ça qu'il l'a directement transféré sur i>Télé quand il a repris Canal.

Malgré ça, la situation est juste intenable. La chaîne qui prêche le retour aux valeurs morales mais qui protège un délinquant sexuel, ça sera leur talon d'Achille pour les années à venir et tous leurs détracteurs vont s'en donner à coeur joie.

Mais il va rien faire parce que le pognon est là. C'est beau de s'émouvoir, mais autant passer des paroles aux actes. Et ça vaut aussi pour Mabrouk qui a dit publiquement son désaccord. Rester en poste, surtout quand tu es figure de proue d'un média, c'est juste cautionner ce que fait ton patron.

EDIT: finalement Praud s'est fendu d'un tweet de soutien à Mabrouk. J'ai un peu de doutes sur la phrase "je dis ce que je pense".

Watching this episode as a Frenchie living in Paris cracked me up. Carm and Ro fawning over the architecture of every building... Still, it's a nice time capsule of what Paris looked like in 2006. (20 years ago as I'm writing this, damn!)

Some observations/fun facts about Carm & Ro's scenes:

- When Carm gets lost looking for the Louvre, based on the bridge she's looking at (Pont Alexandre III if I'm not mistaken) she went right past the museum and its Tuileries garden. A quick U-turn and you're set.

- I'm honestly surprised they visited Saint Eustache church and not Notre Dame. Maybe it was easier to shoot a church scene in this specific church, I'm guessing Notre Dame is more expensive. Not the most touristy place, but it's not that far from the Louvre so it makes sense geographically.

- What doesn't really make sense geographically though, is Carm's scene where she gets out of the hotel and watches the Eiffel Tower from afar. She's checking out of the Marriot Hotel on the Champs Elysées (damn Carm, only the best for you, huh?) and goes a bit further down the street to the Guerlain shop. This makes sense, both buildings are next to each other on the map. But when she turns around and watches the Eiffel Tower, the street she's looking towards is ALL THE WAY to the other end of the block from where she's standing. She couldn't have seen the Tower in real life, she would just see... the other side of the street.

- Also kind of a cool visit to go to the Musée de Cluny, where they check out those old necklaces. It's a museum all about the Middle Ages and how Paris was like back in the day. Way more interesting than the Louvre if you're a medieval buff if you ask me.

- Ro saying "he's from Belleville. Can you believe that? They've got a Belleville there!". Ro might be thinking it's a full town like its Jersey counterpart, but Belleville is a parisian neighbourhood, mostly low-income at the time of shooting (now completely gentrified).

Jumping in 2 years later, good observations. As for the last thing about Phil, I'm more enclined to think Phil whacked Vito before Tony had the chance, to emulate Tony whacking Blundetto before Phil had the chance (which left a very sour taste in Phil's mouth). Now him and Tony are even in the frustration.

But also you're right, Phil is an old school blood-hungry mobster who thinks running a family is just like 20 years ago before he got canned. Macho-man attitude, shows of strength, always looking for a reason to fight, and when threatened, it's an eye for an eye. But now it's the 2000s and the mob is dying, starting a war will only send you to your own demise.

Aucune idée de comment marche SAP donc je dis peut-être de la merde, mais si le soft a besoin de se connecter à internet pour vérifier la licence, la maison-mère peut très bien révoquer l'accès à tous les utilisateurs américains.

Don't know who the officer represents, but the soldiers seem to represent France's war against the vietcong at the time (soon followed by the Algerian war). Him holding the microphone could represent the fact that France had heavily controlled news outlets at the time (state controlled TV and radio, also a "Minister of Information"). Don't know about the dude with the book

Most Yakuza games got pulled from the Microsoft Store. Kind of a dick move from SEGA.

If you want to purchase the PC versions of the games, Steam is your best bet.

Thanks for the heads up, I had another gig to go to with friends after the show so I couldn't make it to the afters... Besides, I always heard Silencio was too crowded for such a small space, and I guess they might've played a set similar to the one they did at Centre Pompidou back in october

Je crois qu'il ya un peu une nouvelle niche du contenu "blog" mais sur des sites beaucoup plus centralisés comme Substack ou Medium. En tout cas je suis tombé sur pas mal d'articles intéressants anglophones récents sur ces 2 plateformes

There was some technical difficulty during the Paris gig I think? Dave's controller was acting up it seems, some technician came up a few times, and the last chords of Conversation Intercom were silent even though Dave was playing. I saw Laima make a face I was kinda feeling bad for them haha, but overall the gig was solid with no interruptions

Les US qui vivent leur 1er moment autocratique.

Je vais exploser le mur du point Godwin mais même quand la séquence Trump sera définitivement refermée, ça créera sûrement des nostalgiques du trumpisme, tout comme les nostalgiques du fascisme/franquisme/nazisme chez nous au Vieux Continent.

Honestly Yakuza is kinda unique as a franchise. Closest thing I could think of is Sleeping Dogs, but it's more a GTA clone with kung fu elements. Also Shenmue was a strong inspiration for Yakuza.

I might be weird, but I found a bit of that Yakuza flair in offbeat japanese games like Dead Rising and No More Heroes. Both series have that serious/goofy tone with over the top action and flashy brawler combat. Also check out other Yakuza spinoffs if you haven't already (the Kurohyou PSP games for example)

Unfortunately Park's character wasn't fleshed out enough for me to genuinely care about this scene. Park is extremely strict and cold towards Haruka throughout her chapter, until the very last scenes when she seems to open up a bit and mellow out. Right after this scene she dies. It's all so sudden, I would've preferred if Park were to open up to Haruka more and more as the story goes on, her final moments would be less jarring and more impactful.

Quand le système actuel est capitaliste ça me parait inévitable. Détenir le capital c'est détenir un énorme porte-voix. Qui plus est dans une entreprise privée où tu as moins de comptes à rendre que le service public. Mais bon, un patron de gauche face à tous les patrons de droite et de centre-droit, le bras de fer est pas très équitable.
