Ambos lados se están preparando para este conflicto con todos los medios posibles. Este acontecimiento se ha dado a conocer esta mañana en la Casa Blanca en la que el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump le declara la guerra a Macron el presidente de Francia. El hecho que ha causado este suceso es que Trump quiere impedir que China haga un tratado comercial con la Unión Europea. El aliado de los Estados Unidos para este conflicto van a ser las Islas Británicas, al no querer tener nada que ver con la Unión Europea, y el bando de Francia lo forman: Italia, Alemania, Rusia y China. Este acontecimiento empezará cuando uno de los bandos comience el ataque hacia el otro , usando todo tipo de armas de fuego. El mundo tiene que prepararse para la 3 guerra mundial.

  • SANQUA Horizons 14
    hORIZONS Jeudi 1er mai 2008 14 SANQUA Sanqua par Francis Je m’amuse toujours à voir les commentaires postés à propos des articles parus dans Sanqua. Tenez, récemment je suis tombé sur une série de posts sur le forum de « La Référence des Jeux Vidéo sur PC et Consoles ! » - les connaisseurs reconnaîtront. Ce post parlait du test d’Assassin’s Creed paru dans Sanqua Horizons , et soutenait ma position. Sans surprise, les réponses se sont multipliées, pour enfoncer l’auteur du premier post, Sanqua et l’auteur de l’article au passage. Une réaction allergique de Fanboy, qui tient presque du réflexe. Le point le plus marquant, finalement, c’était le fait que Sanqua était à leurs yeux un magazine de « critique systématique » dénué « d’esprit critique ». A y réfléchir sérieusement, il est vrai que Sanqua peut parfois véhiculer cette image de « casseur en série ». Comme si nous n’aimions rien. Que voulez-vous, quand on a dîné chez « Les Trois Gros », on a du mal à manger un Big Mac sans vomir. C’est une question d’exigence. N’est-ce pas Francis ?

  • Eric Chahi,Boxboy!
    C’era una volta ad…Hollywood – Analisi senza spoiler 1992-2019 Sono passati esattamente 27 anni dal folgorante esordio al cinema di questo talentuoso cineasta, quando con Reservoir Dogs (da noi banalizzato semplicemente in Le Iene) Quentin Tarantino è entrato di prepotenza nell’immaginario collettivo di milioni di persone. Una sceneggiatura praticamente senza sbavature, una regia matematicamente perfetta ed una conduzione degli attori impeccabile. Tarantino ha sempre sfoderato una sensibilità rispettosa verso certi canoni classici, ritraducendoli in chiave moderna o Pulp, come piace dire a certa critica. E di certo Lui non si tira indietro davanti a certe etichette preconfezionate, da buon amatore del cinema di genere, ed ecco che consegna il suo capolavoro stampando sulla copertina quello stesso termine che da lì in poi marchierà indelebilmente la sua dialettica: Pulp Fiction; appunto la finzione del cinema cosparso sopra la superficie di quella verità arida e a volte cruda che è la vita. Era il 1994, gli albori di quegli anni ’90 ormai disillusi e privi dello sfarzo tipico del decennio precedente. Si può tranquillamente affermare che il cinema di Tarantino è il ritratto sincero di quel periodo, insieme ad altri illustri colleghi come i fratelli Coen. Ma adesso siamo nel 2019, i tempi cambiano e la visione del mondo segue il corso degli eventi. C’è chi sostiene che il regista texano abbia sparato tutte le sue cartucce migliori, che non abbia più nulla da dire. Un artista fatto e finito, che ha compiuto totalmente il suo percorso e arranca nel disperato tentativo di non uscire dal circuito mediatico.

  • Gender Representation in Videogame Journalism and the Influence of Hegemonic Masculinity, Media Filters, and Message Mediation
    Don't Let the Girls Play: Gender Representation in Videogame Journalism and the Influence of Hegemonic Masculinity, Media Filters, and Message Mediation A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Howard D. Fisher June 2012 © 2012 Howard D. Fisher. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Don't Let the Girls Play: Gender Representation in Videogame Journalism and the Influence of Hegemonic Masculinity, Media Filters, and Message Mediation by HOWARD D. FISHER has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bernhard S. Debatin Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT FISHER, HOWARD D., Ph.D., June 2012, Journalism Don't let the girls play: Gender representation in videogame journalism and the influence of Hegemonic Masculinity, Media Filters, and Message Mediation Director of Dissertation: Bernhard S. Debatin The researcher proposed that videogame magazines and journalists were misrepresenting the full breadth of modern videogame players, specifically women. Based on a foundation of Hegemonic Masculinity, the researcher conducted frame analyses of select magazines and in-depth interviews with select journalists. The researcher used Herman & Chomsky and Shoemaker & Reese as theoretical background and the standards proposed by the Hutchins commission and the Society of Professional Journalists to analyze the frames and interviews. The researcher found that women avatars were either ignored or portrayed as sex objects in the magazines, and that women videogame players were frequently mocked or insulted. Analyses further revealed that videogame journalists subscribe to an Ideology of Anxiety, primarily based on their fear- driven relationship with videogame developers and publishers.

  • Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes,Intellivision Amico
    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes “Non ci sono più gli eroi di una volta”, cantavano gliStranglers nell’ormai lontano 1977, quegli stessi eroi che hanno ispirato intere generazioni e alimentato fantasiose leggende tramandate di padre in figlio fino a diventare parte e sostanza di una storia alternativa forse più accessibile, ma non per questo priva di una profonda rete di significati e simboli che per certi versi risultano più tangibili di qualsiasi altra entità materiale. Tutto questo preambolo per dirvi che Travis Touchdown non è più l’uomo di una volta, appesantito dalla violenza perennemente costante nella sua vita. D’altro canto è un assassino, e nessuno di noi è chiamato a scegliere ciò che siamo: lo siamo e basta. Ed è per questo che l’unica maniera per rifugiarsi lontano dalla realtà a volte è quella di fuggire dalla stessa, magari viaggiando verso il Texas a bordo di un camper in compagnia dei nostri videogiochi preferiti. Ma il passato è duro a morire ed è inevitabile portarsi dietro qualche strascico, specialmente se sei un killer professionista. Così la quiete appena conquistata viene turbata dalla visita inaspettata diBadman , anche lui alla ricerca disperata di un lieto fine per i suoi tormenti. Portatore di un odio smisurato nei confronti del nostro Travis, reo di aver ucciso senza pietà la figlia Badgirl incontrata durante la sua prima scalata nell’olimpo degli assassini, Badman si ritrova suo malgrado ingarbugliato in una brutta faccenda: la console a cui Travis si diletta a giocare ai videogame è la terribileDeath Drive MK-II, una pericolosa arma di distruzione di massa in grado di trascinare i nostri eroi all’interno del software e rendere un incubo lisergico partorito dalla mente malsana di Suda 51 quello che fino a pochi attimi prima era un innocuo passatempo elettronico.

    SSANQUAANQUA hORIZONS Vendredi 15 février 2008 1 Machine à merde Quand je faisais de la thermodynamique, c’est à dire vaguement essayer de comprendre les échanges dynamiques de chaleur et d’énergie, je suis tombé sur le concept des bilans. «Rien ne se perd, tout se transforme» disait Lavoisier, ne sachant pas encore qu’il allait fi nir en deux morceaux (vive la révolution !). En gros, c’est ça, tout système isolé conserve une énergie constante. Si on lui donne de l’énergie, le système va user de cet énergie pour la transformer en autre chose... par exemple, pour une voiture, l’énergie provient de l’essence que vous injectez, et le résultat est principalement des frottements et de la chaleur (95%) et un tout petit peu de force motrice (les 5% qu’on recherche). Pour les êtres humains, la question se pose aussi. L’équation est simple : bouffe + eau = merde. Mais attention, au-delà des apparences, la merde n’est pas uniquement le truc qui fl otte dans les toilettes, elle peut prendre de nombreuses manifestations... Comme pour la voiture, l’humanité semble condamnée à faire beaucoup de caca pour peu de choses hors du commun. 2 SSTARTAR Le légal, un vrai TTEAMEAM RREGALEGAL vacances. Nous remercions vacances.
