Yeap, I know I've been very bad about posting, and about commenting as well, and answering comments as well. Very sorry for that.

On books : I finished reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson, and I rather liked it.review of Quicksilver )

On Roleplaying Games, I've started reading Mage : the Awakening (which I'd found in bargain sale) and so far I'm quite disapointed. Should have left on my first impression and never buy the stuff no matter the price. The writing is dull, the setting uninspiring, the splats boring and flat and I'm missing the concept of Paradigms. I hope the magic system will redeem the whole thing by giving me something to steal to add to Mage : the Ascension games.

Exalted v2 is out, I know I'm going to have to buy it next Saturday. Especially since I went to see the movie Wu Ji yesterday which was very fun and pretty and made me want to create a kick-ass Air Aspected Dynast using a Martial Art based on fans very, very much. Then again when does watching a kung fu movie doesn't make me want to play Exalted ? XD

I also watched a French animated movie this week end : Renaissance. The aethetics was very interesting : only black and white, very stark contrast but a lot of work on textures and shapes to make it "visible". The futuristic Paris it shown was especially interesting. However the story, something noir and low key Sci-Fi, was very unoriginal and the dubbing particulary bad.

That's it for now.
