<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I hate December. And the end of November. I really do. There&#8217;s always so many things to do. Everything happens at the same time. I have seven big tests in just ten days.. But in just three weeks hell&#8217;s over. OVER. And I can take it easy and enjoy the holidays. Maybe I just should retire right <em>now</em>?<br />
I need to get rid of at least one of the tasks I have, so at the moment I&#8217;m writing a paper about Jeanne d&#8217;Arc.  She had a pretty interesting life, short but full of adventures. <strong>Do you know anything special about d&#8217;Arc?</strong></p>
<p>Anyway! Acne&#8230; ah, where to start? I LOVE THEM. And these shoes.. are&#8230; incredible! Really amazing. Just gotta save my money and find a store where they have the shoes. Maybe someday in the future.. *sigh*</p>

<description><![CDATA[La suite aujourd&#8217;hui de notre saga Jeanne d&#8217;Arc. Je précise toutefois avant toute chose ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La suite aujourd&#8217;hui de notre saga Jeanne d&#8217;Arc. Je précise toutefois avant toute chose qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agit ici de présenter des thèses qui me semblent intéressantes et non dénuées de fondement, mais qui n&#8217;ont toutefois jamais été prouvées et qui ne sont pas à prendre pour parole d&#8217;évangile. Certains détails sont frappants et invitent à la remise en cause de l&#8217;histoire officielle, sans que toutefois la version présentée contre cette histoire puisse être considérée comme étant la bonne.</p>
<p>Yolande d&#8217;Aragon était la mère de Marie d&#8217;Anjou, femme de Charles VII, et donc belle-mère du roi. C&#8217;était une femme extrêmement intelligente, qui avait déjà tout compris aux ficelles des stratégies de communication modernes. Elle annonce une quinzaine d&#8217;années avant l&#8217;apparition de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc que le royaume sera sauvé par une femme. Il faut se rappeler ici que le royaume de France avait été détruit par une femme, Isabeau de Bavière, mère de Charles VII, qui, durant sa régence, s&#8217;était montrée incapable de faire face à la lutte entre Armagnac et Bourguignons qui dévasta le royaume, et, à la suite de cet épisode peu glorieux, s&#8217;illustra encore en s&#8217;alliant avec le roi d&#8217;Angleterre Henri V, en lui reconnaissant un droit d&#8217;accès au trône de France au détriment de son propre fils, le futur Charles VII, destitué par le traité. Face à cette femme salie, dont tous les crimes sont grossis, accusée d&#8217;être une putain et d&#8217;avoir couché avec la moitié des hommes de la Cour, qu&#8217;ils soient d&#8217;Armagnac ou Bourguignons, monte, insufflée par Yolande d&#8217;Aragon, la légende d&#8217;une femme pure, vierge, pendant d&#8217;Isabeau, qui reviendrait pour sauver le royaume de France. C&#8217;est grâce à cette légende que Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, quand elle arrive, ne rencontre pas énormément de problèmes pour diriger l&#8217;armée française : elle était attendue, et à une époque où la superstition était très forte, on peut comprendre l&#8217;importance qu&#8217;a eu ce mythe de la femme salvatrice pour faire accepter Jeanne d&#8217;Arc.</p>
<p>Les historiens suspectent aujourd&#8217;hui Yolande d&#8217;Aragon d&#8217;avoir fait élever Jeanne d&#8217;Arc. Pour certains, comme Philippe Delorme, Jeanne serait en fait la fille cachée d&#8217;Isabeau de Bavière et de son cousin Louis d&#8217;Orléans, et serait donc la demi-soeur de Charles VII. C&#8217;est sans doute aller un peu loin sans preuve. Cependant, les historiens s&#8217;accordent autour du fait que Jeanne d&#8217;Arc n&#8217;était pas une bergère lorraine comme la légende de la Pucelle d&#8217;Orléans a pu le conter : trop d&#8217;invraisemblances s&#8217;opposent à cette version.</p>
<p>En effet, comment expliquer les connaissances en stratégie militaire d&#8217;une simple bergère ? De même, comment aurait-elle pu savoir monter à cheval ou manier les armes ? Enfin, comment aurait-elle pu apprendre à parler français en territoire lorrain ?</p>
<p>Pour le fait de parler français, certains historiens ont essayé d&#8217;expliquer ses connaissances en français en faisant valoir qu&#8217;à une époque où les prêtres dispensaient l&#8217;instruction, Domrémy étant une paroisse qui relevait du domaine royal, avoir reçu un enseignement en français n&#8217;était pas une gageure. Cependant, il est prouvé que Jeanne d&#8217;Arc n&#8217;a reçu aucune éducation : sur tous les documents officiels, elle a signé d&#8217;une croix, ce qui prouve qu&#8217;elle n&#8217;était même pas capable d&#8217;écrire son prénom. Comment dans ce cas imaginer qu&#8217;elle ait pu aller à l&#8217;école ?</p>
<p>De plus, le fait d&#8217;élever une femme dans le monde des armes n&#8217;est pas si curieux que ça pour l&#8217;époque, où l&#8217;on retrouve la trace de quelques femmes (peu nombreuses, mais existantes) à être adoubées chevaliers. Ceci expliquerait son éducation militaire, son usage du français, mais aussi son ignorance sur certains points, comme la lecture et l&#8217;écriture, ignorance qui ne lui permettait pas de prétendre accéder au trône, et qui devait sans doute permettre aux nobles qui l&#8217;entouraient de garder un pouvoir sur elle.</p>
<p>Aujourd&#8217;hui, à cause du peu de documents de l&#8217;époque, il n&#8217;est rien possible de prouver. Cependant, il est intéressant de noter que dans les manuels scolaires, les allusions à la bergère et à Domrémy disparaissent peu à peu. Le mythe de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, réinventé au dixneuvième, à un moment où la France a besoin de se recréer une identité nationale basée sur de forts personnages historiques, emblèmes de la nationalité, comme Henri IV, Louis XIV, s&#8217;étiole peu à peu faute d&#8217;incohérences et d&#8217;absurdités trop difficiles à expliquer. Cependant, l&#8217;absence d&#8217;une thèse sérieuse contrant l&#8217;histoire officielle empêche tout démenti de l&#8217;Histoire telle que nous l&#8217;avons apprise à l&#8217;école.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s been way too long.  The last 3+ weeks have been quite an adventure.  Per my usual <em>modus operandi</em>, I&#8217;ve neglected to update this page with any info.  But to be brief, I am now a father to a very handsome son &#8211; sure, he&#8217;s fickle and rambunctious, but he&#8217;s so <em>cute</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schlaghund/4017759149/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Schlaghund v2.0" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2421/4017759149_3f49ddee1a_m.jpg" alt="Schlaghund v2.0" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>The fateful morning began early when my body shot up and darted out of the bed upon hearing the slightly muted voice of my wife crying, &#8220;I think my water broke!&#8221;.<em> Today?? </em>In typical Schlaghund fashion, I had procrastinated in packing the bag o&#8217; stuff to bring to the hospital for the labor, delivery, and post-partum &#8211; change of clothing, towels, toiletries, camera, and time-killers (which, for my wife and me, consisted of the DS and PSP).  But in my defense, junior was arriving almost three weeks early.  My wife still insists it&#8217;s my fault for whispering, &#8220;Come out and play,&#8221; to him the night before.</p>
<p>After about an hour of packing, we made the short, ten-minute drive to our nearby hospital, where we waited for about three hours for the nurses to confirm that my wife&#8217;s water broke.  They were clearly skeptical (with good reason &#8211; apparently far too many mothers jump to rash conclusions), but after one of the nurses witnessed a bout of amniotic spew (&#8220;Yup, her water broke.&#8221;), they finally put her on pitocin to kick-start her as-of-yet absent labor.</p>
<p>My wife, the nonchalant type, then spent the next five or so hours watching TV and playing post-game <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R37S78?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=schlaghundspl-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=390957&#38;creativeASIN=B000R37S78">Jeanne D&#8217;Arc</a><img style="border:none!important;margin:0!important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=schlaghundspl-20&#38;l=as2&#38;o=1&#38;a=B000R37S78" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> content, all the while shrugging her shoulders and saying, &#8220;Meh.  I don&#8217;t feel anything.&#8221;  As for me, I sat there playing the Final Fantasy II port for the GBA on my DS just because it came with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00030GS8A?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=schlaghundspl-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=390957&#38;creativeASIN=B00030GS8A">Dawn of Souls</a><img style="border:none!important;margin:0!important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=schlaghundspl-20&#38;l=as2&#38;o=1&#38;a=B00030GS8A" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> cartridge and I hadn&#8217;t played it yet.  By the way, it is the <em>WORST FINAL FANTASY EVER.</em></p>
<p>Late in the afternoon, after the nurse had finally upped the pitocin drip to a more substantial amount, my wife started feeling the contractions.  I spent the next hour or so comforting her through them.  When the pain was reaching the point of being unbearable, the nurse asked her if she was considering an epidural.  My wife inquired about how far dilated her cervix was (epidurals shouldn&#8217;t be administered after about 6 cm dilation).  It turned out she was 9 cm+ and was just about ready to push the baby out.  So my wife settled for the analgesics instead.  They added that to her already crowded IV and gave her an oxygen mask (which my wife claims helped a lot more than the drugs).</p>
<p>Another nurse and the doctor arrived in time to prep for the delivery.  My wife and I watched a couple of delivery videos in our classes.  Even to the squeamish type like me, it didn&#8217;t <em>look</em> half-bad.  I considered watching for this one.  And then the nurse turned to me and said there&#8217;d be a lot of blood.  <em>Barf</em>.  Forget that.  I stepped back, turned around, and let them do their thing.  But after hearing my wife straining to push our kid out, I felt like I had to be at her side.  So I slowly inched toward one side of the bed, eyes half hidden behind my carefully positioned fingers, and I held her hand.  When the pushing got to <em>shoving</em>, I lowered my head, closed my eyes and prayed that everything would be okay.</p>
<p>After a couple more woeful, bestial moans from a woman I rarely ever see cry, I heard a sound I would never forget.  You always watch deliveries on TV or in movies, but apparently, they all censor the part where it sounds like someone&#8217;s intenstines exploded.  I&#8217;m having trouble thinking of how to describe it&#8230;  I guess it&#8217;s like a <em>PWWKSHHH</em> with some very wet <em>FTHBTHBTHB</em> overlaid on it.  You know the sound engineer for the <em>Alien</em> movies?  It&#8217;s like his perfect sound bite for when the thing bursts out of the guy&#8217;s belly.  It wasn&#8217;t long after that traumatic, eyes-closed, horror-movie moment before I heard the now-familiar, high-pitched scream coming from our newborn son&#8217;s extraordinarily powerful lungs.  I was a daddy.</p>
<p>I cut the cord (still averting my eyes from Ground Zero) and spent the next few hours just watching the little lifeform squirm and sleep while the nurses cleaned up.  Out of the side of my eye, I happened to catch a glimpse of the point of impact, and there was a <em>lot</em> of blood.  A <em>lot</em> of it.  <em>Barf</em>.  But it was all worth it.  My wife was recovering quickly, and aside from the typical Asian jaundice, our son was as healthy as they come.</p>
<p>My wife and I spent the next couple of days at the hospital.  I only left to sleep and to get her some well-deserved, post-gestational-diabetes ice cream.  We got quite the crash-course on the basics of infant care.  And after spending a couple of nights dealing with a crying child, I couldn&#8217;t help but feel like the kid was the most difficult boss-fight I&#8217;d ever faced.  After some nurse explanations, it seemed simple enough.  Crying drains my health meter.  He&#8217;s got three basic attacks: hunger, gas, and dirty diapers.  His weaknesses: feed him, burp him, and change him (respectively). If we get him to sleep, we win (at least for a couple of hours before he respawns and resumes his assault).</p>
<p>But the nuances of determining his attack vector are hard to grasp.  The nurse said we should be able to learn to distinguish what the baby wants according to how he cries, but those differences weren&#8217;t yet clear within those first two nights.  We spent a lot of extra effort: checking diapers when there was nothing there, trying to feed him those scant amounts of colostrum, totally unsure of whether he was getting enough of it (or any at all), burping him without any results.  And then there are those compound, multi-pronged attacks where he&#8217;s trying to eat but has gas <em>and</em> a dirty diaper.  It&#8217;s a lot more common than you&#8217;d imagine.</p>
<p>Learning how to read and respond to our son has pretty much consumed the past three weeks of our life.  We&#8217;ve learned a bit &#8211; his gaspy/coughy cry means he&#8217;s hungry, intermittent, fidgety crying means he&#8217;s gassy, and oddly enough, he doesn&#8217;t typically cry when his diaper is dirty.  We can just smell it.  Or, on several unfortunate occasions, it leaks out.  <em>Barf</em>.  And the whole diaper-changing business is a minigame of its own, consisting of timing it and speeding up the process to minimize the chance of getting shot with bodily excretions.  It&#8217;s a tough battle, and it really isn&#8217;t going to end for up to a year, when he can actually <em>communicate</em> what it is he wants exactly.  And by that time, we&#8217;ll be dealing with new and more intricate problems.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on.  Oh, and since we&#8217;ve been getting the whole rhythm down, I&#8217;ve found a lot more time to catch up on some games and &#8211; yes &#8211; blog, as you can see.  I hope I get to write more in the coming weeks.  But right now, I&#8217;ve gotta go feed my spawn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I have a very good gaming-related reason for my post title, not that you care. Also, it was the first thing I could think of that sounded even remotely cool, but really, does anyone care? Please, leave a comment and let me know.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been going back and forth on my newly refound PSP between playing Final Fantasy VII and Jenne d&#8217;Arc. Don&#8217;t ask why, just go with it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to assume that, since you probably followed a link from a forum post to this blog, you know what happens in FFVII? Good. I&#8217;m at work, and I&#8217;ve been playing here, and the plate just fell on the Sector 7 slums. Aerith has been kidnapped by Tseng, Marlene is missing, and I still don&#8217;t have Vincent in my party.</p>
<p>(I know, I know, he won&#8217;t show up until Nibelheim, but damn it, he&#8217;s such a badass!)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting to play this game again for years, and never been able to find a copy. When I found out it was available on the PlayStation Network, I was so excited I couldn&#8217;t contain myself. And then I realized that I had no idea where my PSP was. My wife found it just the other day, and the first thing I did was download VII.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m following a guide, trying to get the best items, follow strategies, do all the side quests, etc. I played the Greatest Hits version back in &#8216;05 and beat it on my PSO, so it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m spoiling anything. I&#8217;ve also watched Advent Children and beaten Crisis Core recently, so it&#8217;s all fresh in my mind. The point is that I want to best weapons and armor, all the greatest Materia, Limit Breaks, and sundry other stuff that I don&#8217;t trust myself to be able to get on my own.</p>
<p>Jeanne d&#8217;Arc = Joan of Arc + Japan. If that doesn&#8217;t explain enough for ya, then Google it, because I don&#8217;t want to get into it now. Suffice it to say it&#8217;s a tactics-style game, and really easy. I&#8217;m playing for the plot, that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>I played more IU last night. I&#8217;m on a bit of a role, taking down the Port Zala chain last night. I&#8217;m almost to the point where I&#8217;m fully caught up; all I need to do now is get to Kolton, learn about vermification, and make my way to Dias. This is where I stopped last time (I was severly underleveled and getting my ass kicked by those damn spider-things) so this time I&#8217;ll make sure to put plenty of effort into level grinding and getting weapon/armor upgrades so that my characters don&#8217;t suck the big one. There&#8217;s the chance for at least one Achievement during these next few stages (Bad Influence) so there&#8217;s the possibility of another 30GS attaching itself to my score. Check last Sunday&#8217;s post for deatils on what my goals are and how much this will effect everything.</p>
<p>Last night the wife and I finally set up the entertainment unit. Some holes were drilled, consoles were placed on various shelves with their wires threaded through, and the whole shebang presses up against the recently painted Red Wall of Awesomeness that now dominates our living room. Basically I&#8217;m saying that the gaming consoles (as well as the DVD player and the cable box) are now securely set up and ready to be played. The only things left are the two wall mounted shelves that match the hutch and finding a place for all the different controllers. If you&#8217;re thinking about it for me, remember that I have three guitars, a drum set, and at least two controllers each for my original PlayStation, PS2, GameCube, Wii, and Xbox 360. That&#8217;s a lot of gaming devices.</p>
<p>Halo: Waypoint is available today. I&#8217;ll do a review tomorrow after I&#8217;ve spent some time in it. Maybe it&#8217;ll make me play one of my Halo games, to see how it updates. At the very least, Avatar Awards have started to make an appearance, so I&#8217;ll have to check out the ones from ODST. I think there&#8217;s two that I can get out of the ones that have been revealed through gaming sites. Check out xbox360achievements.org for more info.</p>
<p>Well lunch is almost over, so back to the drawing board. By which I mean, there still isn&#8217;t any work to do, so I&#8217;m going to play more FFVII.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Abaixo, coloco algumas sugestões pessoais de hotéis bons e com ótimo preço em Paris! A localização fica a seu critério.

<p>- Hotel Jeanne D&#8217;Arc: Recentemente renovado, o Hotel oferece ambientes clássicos e muito aconchegante. Localizado no bairro de Marais, ao lado de uma pracinha super gostosa, o hotel conta com apartamentos confortáveis,  atendimento atencioso e ótimos preços.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p><em><a href="http://karmadeloco.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/jeanne_d_arc_by_genzoman.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-671" title="Jeanne_d_Arc_by_GENZOMAN" src="http://karmadeloco.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/jeanne_d_arc_by_genzoman.jpg?w=215" alt="" width="215" height="300" /></a></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em><strong>Un journaliste de l&#8217;Est républicain, un chroniqueur judiciaire, un certain Marcel Gay, a re-écrit l&#8217;histoire de Jeanne D&#8217;Arc… </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>En effet, Jeanne serait dorénavant d&#8217;inspiration &#8220;espionne&#8221;, Jeanne ne serait pas une paysanne, mais la fille du roi, et se serait transformée en une manipulatrice hors pair, façon James Bond, mais aux services commandés de sa majesté le roi de France, tout ça, dès l&#8217;âge de 13 ans  :</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Comment ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>&#8220;Cette &#8220;affaire&#8221; Jeanne d&#8217;Arc n&#8217;est rien d&#8217;autre qu&#8217;une opération de services secrets conçue par Yolande d&#8217;Anjou, la belle-mère du roi, et exécutée de main de maître par une gamine hors du commun, Jeanne&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Du Marcel Gay dans le texte…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Mais pourquoi une telle manipulation ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Je suis journaliste et je m&#8217;intéresse aussi à des sujets d&#8217;actualité. Je crois aussi pour être complet, que Jeanne est un sujet d&#8217;une grande actualité. Car il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;une opération de manipulation. Croyez-vous qu&#8217;il n&#8217;y en a pas de nos jours? Ce livre est donc un livre de journaliste sur un sujet d&#8217;histoire qui me permet de décrypter minutieusement l&#8217;une des plus grandes manipulations de l&#8217;histoire. Ensuite, il suffit de faire des rapprochements avec d&#8217;autres affaires, comme les infirmières bulgares, la guerre en Irak, la libération d&#8217;Ingrid Betancourt, etc… Et l&#8217;on verra qu&#8217;il existe un parallèle. Mais pour cela il faut savoir&#8230;lire.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Encore du Marcel Gay dans le texte</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Hé oui, en gros, l&#8217;affaire Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, serait une mise en scène diplomatique selon Marcel Gay… Comme si ça ne suffisait pas, cette manipulation des services secrets français de l&#8217;époque a un nom  :</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>La mise en scène s&#8217;appelle en fait &#8221; l&#8217;opération Bergère &#8220;, qui a été conçue dès 1420 et la signature de l&#8217;infâme traité de Troyes, comme disent les historiens.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Encore du Marcel Gay dans le texte…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Au final, la question que tout le monde se pose est bien entendu, mais pourquoi nos services secrets de l&#8217;époque auraient-ils mené une telle stratégie façon James Bond 007, si tant est que nos services secrets aient existé bien sur, ce qui reste à prouver ? </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Je vous le donne en mille… Pour faire peur aux anglais selon Marcel Gay, la stratégie aurait donc été une guerre psychologique, les anglais terrorisés par une enfant de 17 ans d&#8217;inspiration divine, auraient donc été pris pour des idiots, de parfaits abrutis, des poltrons, puisque selon Marcel Gay, ils seraient tombés dans le panneau, dans la mesure où peu de temps après, la France a été libérée.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Mais la manipulation ne s&#8217;arrête pas à une simple guerre des nerfs gagnée par les français, décidément si géniaux dans l&#8217;art de la manipulation, au point de prendre les anglais pour des attardés mentaux, mais nous aurait également conduit…. à…. je vous le donne en mille, à un faux faux procès…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>En gros, le grand inquisiteur qui a fait brûler Jeanne D&#8217;Arc, aurait été un agent double, travaillant pour la France…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Comment ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Jeanne n&#8217;est pas morte. Je crois qu&#8217;il faut regarder de près la scène du bûcher du mercredi 30 mai 1431 d&#8217;une part, et d&#8217;autre part regarder de près les documents après le bûcher. Donc, la scène du bûcher. La suppliciée qui monte sur le bûcher a le visage &#8220;embronché&#8221;, nous dit le chroniqueur Perceval de Cagny. C&#8217;est-à-dire voilé, caché. Donc, on ne peut pas la reconnaître. Ensuite, il y a 800 hommes d&#8217;armes portant glaives et bâtons autour d&#8217;elle pour écarter la foule. Donc il ne s&#8217;agit pas d&#8217;une exécution publique. Enfin, il n&#8217;y a pas eu de PV de cette exécution. Autre chose : on trouve des traces de la survie de Jeanne. Elles sont nombreuses.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Encore du Marcel Gay dans le texte..</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Les services secrets français auraient donc dupé les anglais, les prenant une énième fois pour des idiots, puisque Jeanne d&#8217;Arc ne serait pas morte sur le bûcher, selon Marcel Gay… Elle aurait été protégée, on aurait mis une autre personne à sa place juste avant de se faire brûler…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Qui ??? On ne sait pas, Marcel Gay ne le précise pas, mais de toutes évidences, c&#8217;est un mannequin en bois qui est morte à la place de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Jeanne D&#8217;arc n&#8217;a donc pas été brûlée, Marcel Gay en est convaincu…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Cela ne se limite pas à ça… Non seulement Jeanne d&#8217;Arc ne serait pas morte, mais en plus de ça, elle aurait eu une vie heureuse, se serait mariée, mais n&#8217;aurait pas eu d&#8217;enfant…<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Cette jeune femme de 17 ans aurait donc pris tout le royaume d&#8217;Angleterre pour des débiles mentaux…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Selon Marcel Gay, Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, serait un véritable génie de la manipulation, une James Bond Girl à l&#8217;envers, car au service du roi de France…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Le plus stupéfiant dans cette histoire, n&#8217;est pas ce révisionnisme à deux balles qu&#8217;essaye de nous vendre Marcel Gay dans son livre, le plus stupéfiant est sans nul doute, le fait qu&#8217;il ait déterré une hache de guerre vieille de 600 ans…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Mais pourquoi a t il re-écrit l&#8217;histoire de la pucelle d&#8217;Orléans ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Les comparaisons me semblent très bonnes en ce sens que Jeanne est une légende. J&#8217;espère simplement qu&#8217;après mon livre et après le film qui sera diffusé sur Arte en février prochain, les historiens réviseront leurs livres.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Encore du Marcel Gay dans le texte…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>L&#8217;histoire de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, c&#8217;est comme celle de Jésus Christ … Elle n&#8217;est en rien un mythe ou une invention… Jeanne d&#8217;Arc a réellement été à l&#8217;origine d&#8217;une révolution qui a permis la libération de la France occupée… On a parfaitement le droit de ne pas croire en Dieu, mais de là à re-écrire entièrement l&#8217;histoire pour faire passer Jeanne d&#8217;Arc pour une manipulatrice, et non une libératrice, et les anglais pour des abrutis, est tout simplement de la manipulation, la voilà la seule manipulation dans cette nouvelle histoire de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, qui, décidément dérange encore, même 600 ans après sa mort…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Jeanne d&#8217;Arc a bel et bien été brûlée par un régime collaborationniste&#8230; C&#8217;est une victime de la barbarie, pas de l&#8217;idiotie d&#8217;un peuple ou d&#8217;un autre, comme le suggère si bien Marcel Gay !<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Marcel Gay se prend vraiment au sérieux, à moins qu&#8217;il ne se prenne pour Alexandre Dumas, transformant Jeanne en mousquetaire…</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Pe parcursul ultimelor saptamani am incercat prin diferite sesiuni de concentrare asupra caracterului meu si meditatii sa ajung la intocmirea unei analize complexe as putea spune(cel putin pentru moment) a personajului ce se numeste Patrolea Alexandru .<br />
Fiind unul dintre cei ce impartasesc spusele dragului si marelui Nichita Stanescu : &#8220;Eu cred că un om este ceea ce îşi aduce aminte<br />
despre sine însuşi. Bunăoară, eu mă consider pe<br />
mine ceea ce îmi aduc aminte că sunt. De asta<br />
uneori oamenii sunt în aparenţă schimbători sau au<br />
umori diferite.<br />
De fiecare dată îţi aduci aminte alte lucruri despre<br />
tine însuţi.&#8221;<br />
Nichita Stanescu,( cuvintele acestea pot fi gasite si aici :<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/vDlmxVfq4WM&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/vDlmxVfq4WM&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span> &#8211; minutul 5:46) am incercat totusi sa imi studiez personalitatea cat mai obiectiv posibil punand accent pe partile mai putin bune sau alterate de-a lungul timpului in viata mea .<br />
Reusisem dupa studiu indelungat sa ajung sa cred ca sunt undeva , un amestec intre Raskolnikov, personaj principal din romanul &#8220;Crima si Pedeapsa&#8221; al autorului rus Fiodor Dostoevski, primul roman social-filozofic printre altele si in romanul lui Hamsun Knut , &#8220;Foamea&#8221; in care autorul nu da nume personajului , ajutandu-te astfel sa te poti pune tu in pielea lui , un roman in care ne regasim cu totii .<br />
Astfel , stand zile , una dupa alta , studiind fiecare aspect a acestor personaje , ajunsesem sa vad totusi ca ceva lipsea , ceva ma lasa cu un gol destul de mare &#8230; pana intr-o zi , o zi deosebita , plina de sudoare in care m-am retras in bibleoteca personala de unde mi-am ales un volum din Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu , &#8220;Scrieri Literare&#8221; iar printre numeroasele Poezii extraordinare gasite in acest volum , ca: &#8220;La Romania&#8221; , &#8220;Bradul&#8221; sau &#8221; Femeia inecata&#8221; si frumoasa piesa de teatru : &#8220;Razvan si Vidra&#8221; , am dat peste o proza de doar 41 de pagini de o intensitate extraordinara . Proza se numeste : &#8220;Micuta&#8221; sau &#8220;Trei zile si trei nopti din viata unui student&#8221; ce m-a lasat tremurand pe scaun dupa incheierea lecturii . Personajul principal pe nume &#8220;Ghita Taciune&#8221; (voi reveni asupra numelui) , in varsta de 17 ani , student jurist &#8220;la o universitate oarecare&#8221; din Germania , un chirias al unei familii de actori si un student extraordinar prin eruditia sa . Voi incerca a reda succint cateva pasaje din carte , mai reprezentativa ce demonstreaza calitatile personajului.<br />
&#8220;Tovarasii ma numeau &#8220;Spiter&#8221;,zau nu stiu din care cauza : sau pentru ca iubeam parfumurile si pomezile, sau pentru ca aveam cam adesea nevoie dee felurite doftorii,ca unul ce ma deosibeam din copilarie prin slabiciunea constitutiunii.&#8221; , &#8220;Sunt prea moral pentru a fi drac; conditia de om imi convine mai degraba&#8221; , &#8220;Barbatii, afara doar de poeti, si inca de poetii cei fameni, cand iubesc o femeie, o iubesc numai ca pe o femeie, si adesea o iubesc chiar mai putin; femeile din contra, iubesc deobste un ideal, un ce mai presus de natura omeneasca, un inger sau un drac ca Jeanne D&#8217;Arc din veacul de mijloc, dar niciodata un barbat cum sunt barbatii.&#8221; , &#8220;Voiesti oare, cititorule, ca sa te iubeasca sexul,sau, cum zice d.Cipar,sepsul frumos? o voiesti? fii totdeauna prea: prea in dreapta, prea in stanga, prea in mijlo, prea dinainte, prea dinapoi, tot prea si prea &#8211; in bunatate, in rautate, in idei, in fapte, in vorbe, in aprindere, in raceala, in omnibus rebus et aliis quibusdam(In toate lucrurile si alte cateva)&#8221;<br />
Tragismul personajului are totusi o tenta a demnitatii nemaintalnite, acesta lasand in scrisoarea sa de Adio urmatoarele vorbe : &#8220;[...] Cauza ti se pare, poate, a fi cam curioasa? Crede-ma amice , cine traieste prea repede osteneste intocmai asa ca acela care alearga prea iute; si unul, si altul ajung la scopul lor mai curand decat broastele testoase ale umanitatii!!! Dar odata ce au ajuns la scop, ei nu mai au ce face &#8230; &#8221;  Pur si simplu genial , chiar daca am prezentat doar cateva mici , rusinos de mici parti din caracterul acestuia , este un personaj extraordinar , un exemplu demn de urmat . Revenind la numele personajului, Ghita Taciune , m-am regasit pana si in acest nume , Ghita , nume tipic moldovenesc(personajul fiind si el din Moldova) , iar Taciune , interpretarile pot fi cu miile , una dintre ele cele mai reprezentative ar fi , revelatia autorului , ii prezinta sfarsitul prin nume , Taciune , terminat , consumat , ars &#8230;.<br />
Autorul printre altele , o personalitate reprezentativa a Literaturii romane , m-a impresionat extraordinar mai ales prin faptele lui dinspre sfarsitul vietii . Vezi : http://www.lovendal.net/wp52/castelul-de-la-campina-a-lui-hasdeu-un-castel-pentru-spiritism/ pentru mai multe detalii .<br />
Ma bucur ca exista astfel de scrieri si in acelasi timp sunt impulsionat pe zi ce trece sa imi maresc aria cunoasterii si sa imi imping creierul spre limitele pe care inca nu le-am atins cu ajutorul acestor autori extraordinari si reprezantativi pentru literatura Universala .</p>

<description><![CDATA[Robert Bresson Nu har jag på ganska kort tid sett tre filmer av den franske regissören Robert Bresso]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_1381" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1381" title="Bresson1" src="http://cappuccinosocialist.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/bresson1.jpg?w=300" alt="Robert Bresson" width="300" height="272" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Bresson</p></div>
<p>Nu har jag på ganska kort tid sett tre filmer av den franske regissören Robert Bresson. De jag har sett är <em><a href="http://www.filmtipset.se/film/prastmans-dagbok.html" target="_blank">Journal d&#8217;un curé de campagne</a></em> (<em>Prästmans dagbok, 1951</em>), <a href="http://www.filmtipset.se/film/min-van-balthazar.html" target="_blank"><em>Au hasard Balthazar</em> </a>(<em>Min vän Balthazar, 1966</em>) och <em><a href="http://www.filmtipset.se/film/processen-mot-jeanne-darc.html" target="_blank">Procès de Jeanne d&#8217;Arc</a></em> (<em>Processen mot Jeanne d&#8217;Arc, 1962</em>). Jag ger alla tre filmerna betyget fem av fem.</p>
<p>Det är märkligt hur okänd Bresson är i allmänhetens ögon. För ett år sen visste jag knappt vem han var. Det finns så många mindre begåvade, orginella, känsliga och skickliga regissörer som är mycket mer namnkunniga. Ändå vågar jag påstå efter bara tre sedda filmer att Bresson är helt unik och en av de riktigt stora filmkonstnärerna genom tiderna.</p>
<p>Mycket har skrivits om hans användande av amatörer i stället för professionella skådespelare för att undvika känslan av filmad teater. Man brukar också betona hans minimalism och purism. Själv talade han om att han ville skapa, inte vackra bilder, men <em>nödvändiga</em> bilder.</p>
<div id="attachment_1382" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1382" title="Bresson2" src="http://cappuccinosocialist.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/bresson2.jpg?w=300" alt="Balthazar" width="300" height="213" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Balthazar</p></div>
<p>Allt det här lät väldigt abstrakt för mig när jag läste om det. Men nu när jag har börjat se hans renhjärtade, okonstlade filmer känner jag den här renheten och förmågan att rensa bort all onödig bråte som 99% av alla filmer är så belastade med. Att titta på Bresson är för mig att bli barn på nytt och se film som för första gången.</p>
<p>Avlägsna minnesfragment väcks till liv. Jag funderar på när jag tittade på <em><a href="http://www.filmtipset.se/film/stjarnornas-krig.html?search_id=20643762" target="_blank">Stjärnornas Krig</a></em> när jag var fem-sex år gammal och filmen var en ren och fullständig upplevelse. Den var sanningen. När jag ser samma film idag kan jag inte ens hålla koncentrationen på vad som händer på skärmen. Den har sin charm och sitt nostalgivärde, men det är så många livlösa klichéer och mekaniska funktioner som liksom tynger ner hela upplevelsen.</p>
<div id="attachment_1383" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1383" title="Bresson3" src="http://cappuccinosocialist.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/bresson3.jpg" alt="Prästmannen" width="250" height="276" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Prästmannen</p></div>
<p>Bresson är fullständigt befriad ifrån den här känslan av <em>seen it all before</em> som är närvarande i nästan all film man ser när man blivit vuxen och hunnit se och analysera en del film. All söndertuggad dramaturgi, invanda spelsätt, trötta berättarstrukturer och så vidare som står i vägen i så många andra filmer lyser med sin frånvaro. Det är bara jag och filmen, utan filter.</p>
<p>Jag har därför inga som helst analyser av hans filmer att komma med. Analyser bygger ju oftast på att man sätter in filmerna i en kontext av andra filmer och konstverk. De här filmerna är sig själva nog och jag hoppas jag aldrig lär mig analysera sönder dem. Jag vet inte hur han kan uppnå en sådan total konstnärlig frihet och autonomi, men jag älskar det. Det känns som om alla andra filmer är gjorda av robotar och Bressons filmer är gjorda av en människa. Att se en av de här filmerna är som att öppna ett fönster i ett kvavt rum och lära sig andas igen.</p>

Forfatteren stykker opp livet hennes i kapitler. Hvert kapittel handler om en del av livet hennes eller en viktig hendelse. Dette blir oppfulgt med andre sin forklaring på handlingen, også forfatterens sin. Forfatteren skal kle seg ut som djevelens advokat. Når katolikkene skal krone en Helgen må de først drøfte om personen fortjener tittelen. Derfor er den en som skal argumentere for (Guds advokat) og en som skal argumentere mot (djevelens advokat). Boka er gjennomsyret av Jon Ewo (forfatterens) ateistiske syn. For å si det rett ut: boka handler mer om forfatterens syn på det religiøse og overnaturlige enn om Jeanne d’Arc! </p>

<description><![CDATA[The story of Joan of Arc is an intriguing one, one fraught with both the difficulties of reliable hi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc">Joan of Arc</a> is an intriguing one, one fraught with both the difficulties of reliable historical record, and the manic glee of myth and eulogy. </p>
<p>The facts of Joan&#8217;s life remain, 500 years later, shrouded in uncertainty. But she is an enduring symbol, claims of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc#Visions">divine providence</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonization_of_Joan_of_Arc">problematic christian overtones</a> notwithstanding. (Her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc">Wikipedia page</a> is excellently balanced)</p>
<p>So when I found that Level-5, the game studio responsible for one of my favourite titles: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Layton">Professor Layton</a> (<em>We&#8217;d really like that sequel now, thank you</em>) had also developed a role playing game called <strong>&#8216;Jeanne D&#8217;Arc</strong>&#8216;, I was quite pleased. </p>
<p>The game claimed to be an &#8216;<em>autre histoire </em>of Joan of Arc, heroine of France.&#8217; Now, Level-5 are an intelligent bunch, and they have a knack for wrapping <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest_VIII">compelling stories</a> around <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Layton_and_the_Curious_Village">unique premises</a>. I was expecting a layered interpretation of the Joan of Arc story, perhaps one that cleaved the common ecclesiastical readings of her life, and took a broader look at French society during the Hundred Years War. Joan is fascinatingly divisive as a character: driven, strong, and succeeding against all the odds, but attributing all her drive and ability to a divine hand, claiming to be guided by the &#8216;voice of God.&#8217;</p>
<p>All in all, a fantastic premise for a videogame: and perhaps a chance to prove that the interactive medium can really contribute to a layered, systematic and deeper understanding of complex historical topics. </p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Sigh. </p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, okay. I was a bit wrong. </p>
<p>Jeanne D&#8217;Arc offers what I can only call a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura">Cardcaptor Sakura </a>interpretation of the Joan of Arc tale. It replaces political intrigue with demon hordes from the netherworld, and accurate historical representation with a bonkers story about magical armlets. </p>
<p>This is all, of course, AWESOME: right up there with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice_and_Zombies">Pride and Prejudice and Zombies</a> in its importance as historical record. While I still have the faint disappointment of dashed expectations somewhere in the back of my head, most of it disappeared by the time the Lizardmen appeared during the siege of Orleans, and a large anthropomorphic lion claimed to be the leader of the French garrison. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard not to be charmed by a game where Jeanne, who looks like this: </p>
<p><a href="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/15.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-441" title="15" src="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/15.jpg" alt="15" width="460" height="258" /></a></p>
<p>leads the French, who look like this:</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Against the British, who&#8230;um&#8230;.look like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/02.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-444" title="02" src="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/02.jpg" alt="02" width="460" height="258" /></a></p>

<p>My favourite is Henry the VIth, who&#8217;s transformed from infant monarch to demonic poster-child:</p>

<p><strong>P.S:</strong> I&#8217;m surprised at the lack of concept art and wallpapers for this game on the net, which is a shame because the game is visually excellent. The title screen itself is a stunning piece of art&#8230;I couldn&#8217;t find it in all it&#8217;s glory, but here&#8217;s a cross section of what it looks like (without the japanese text, of course):</p>
<p><a href="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/picture-14.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-447" title="Picture 14" src="http://sottai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/picture-14.png" alt="Picture 14" width="459" height="244" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Éste verano se cumpliràn 580 años de la llamada Batalla de Montépilloy. En éste pequeño pueblo de Oise, se reunieron el rey Charles VII,  Jeanne d&#8217;Arc y Étienne de Vignolles. Durante los días 14 y 15 de agosto de 1429 se alojaron en el castillo de Montépilloy.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2491" title="chateau" src="http://maitediaz.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/chateau.jpg" alt="chateau" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;">Castillo de Montépilloy. Oise, región de la Picardie      ©2009 Maite Díaz</span></p>
<p>Entre los bosques de Ermenonville y Chantilly, a cuarenta kilómetros al norte de París, en la región de la Picardie, se extiende una amplia llanura regularmente cultivada de trigo, colza, patatas o remolacha. Las parcelas perfectamente dibujadas van cambiando de color al ritmo de las estaciones. Un domingo caluroso de verano, bajamos desde la baja Normandía y antes de llegar a la ciudad de Senlis, atravesamos una carretera nacional y seguimos un pequeño camino que bordeaba unos grandes silos. Éstas torres monumentales son los únicos elementos industriales en el paisaje. La tierra transformada por la agricultura, conserva un paisaje que no ha sido maltratado por la urbanización. El camino se eleva en una pendiente suave. Al llegar a la cima de la colina, la estrecha carretera se convierte en la calle principal de un pequeño pueblo. La vista desde allí muestra toda la hermosura de <em>la grande plaine</em>. Un horizonte y un mar verde. Un gran manto  armonizando toda una cuadrícula irregular de verdes de trigo, amarillos de colza y salpicaduras de rojas amapolas. Luego, como batallones de caballería organizados estratégicamente, los macizos boscosos de un verde màs profundo crean las tensiones, los ritmos visuales del paisaje. Desde la gran torre del castillo medieval, Jeanne d’Arc y su bravo compañero Étienne de Vignolles, apodado, la Hire, observarían los movimientos de las tropas del Duque de Bedford que se había desplazado desde París con diez mil hombres.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Era verano también aquel día caluroso. El 14 de agosto de 1429, las tropas del Duque de Bedford trataban de detener el avance de la armada del rey de Francia, Charles VII, que había sido coronado un mes antes en Reims. El enfrentamiento militar no se produce de manera frontal. El 15 de agosto, después de algunas escaramuzas y de la prudencia de ambos ejércitos, deciden retirarse; sofocados por el calor y la intensa luminosidad del verano. La batalla de Montépilloy no regarà de sangre éstos campos. El Duque de Bedford regresa a Senlis camino de París y Charles VII, remonta con sus hombres hacia el norte, hasta Crépy-en-Valois.</p>
<p>El castillo de Montépilloy no fue testigo de la batalla. Es posible que ésta condición de serenidad le haya acompañado através de la historia. Quizàs le haya dispuesto para presenciar las luchas por la unificación de Francia desde el privilegio geogràfico y estratégico de una atalaya distante de las ciudades importantes. Por éstas pequeñas calles, polvorientas de verano, de paja de trigo, pasearon los grandes guerreros, se tejieron las luchas intestinas del poder y se trazaron estrategias.</p>
<p>El pequeño pueblo de ciento sesenta habitantes, conserva la Iglesia pequeña, los arcos de piedra de lo que sería el recinto de la propiedad religiosa. Unos portones de madera, recios, nos abren la entrada. La capilla estructurada en una sola nave, se levanta con piedras perfectamente talladas y ensambladas. En algunas de las aberturas, se conservan las tallas antiguas de algunos arcos ojivales trilobulados, cubiertos de cristales emplomados con diseños màs modernos. Actualmente, residen familias en las casas que se abren en el patio interior. Cae la tarde. El silencio reina entre las sombras proyectadas. Sobre las calles empedradas, sobre los muros de piedras desfila el tràfago de la historia y sus ruidos… las pesadas armaduras, los relinchos de los caballos agotados por el sol de agosto, los gritos y las voces de mando. Los obuses alemanes de la guerra del 14 silbando a lo lejos antes de caer en Senlis. Y treinta años màs tarde, los motores de las aviones alemanes de reconocimiento y en la noche, los motores silenciosos de los aliados que llegaban desde la Francia libre, para lanzar paquetes de municiones, medicamentos, información a la población de ésta zona que se mantenía todavía bajo la ocupación en la primavera de 1944.</p>
<p>Bajamos hacia la Fontaine en Chaalis. Un prado inmenso. La carretera se dibuja como un trazo fino y gris, y, la pequeña aldea de Foucheret aparece como una isla de piedra flotando. Nos detenemos al borde de la carretera. En el muro de piedra, una pequeña placa recuerda a los resistentes que recuperaban los lanzamientos de provisiones y armas que llegaban desde el territorio de  Francia libre en Normandía. Muchos fueron detenidos por la gestapo y enviados a los campos de concentración. Algunos no regresaron. La placa recuerda a éstos hombres anónimos que fueron condenados por la barbarie a desaparecer. Un destino compartido con Jeanne d’Arc, a la que el cardenal Winchester ordenó quemar màs de una vez para asegurarse que no quedara nada. Esa obsesión totalitaria por eliminar todo rastro. Vuelvo mis ojos a la vastedad, a la maravilla de tanta hermosura. Elisa corre feliz por los pequeños caminos entre las espigas. Se cruzan varias líneas de tierra amarilla, pasan los ciclistas. Desde aquí abajo, busco la gran torre en ruinas de lo que fue el castillo, y no escucho màs que el sonido dulce de las espigas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So&#8230; Coma isn&#8217;t the best way to put it. There were plenty of activities that didn&#8217;t include a controller&#8230; Buffet might be a better word. This week my friend <a title="Selophane" href="http://www.selophane.com/" target="_blank">Spencer</a> was down from D.C. and between the two of us many a game was played.</p>
<div id="attachment_67" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-67" title="Cole from inFamous" src="http://megatile.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/infamous_450x360.jpg?w=300" alt="Messenger bags are this year's half tucked shirt." width="300" height="224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Messenger bags are this year&#39;s half tucked shirt.</p></div>
<p>I checked out a handful of demos over the weekend. Two that stand out are inFamous and Monster Hunter Freedom: Unite. I have been looking forward to getting a taste of inFamous for some time now. In the end I was not dissapointed by the demo, the starting mission is a bit jarring however demos are just like that sometimes. Once I got a chance to run around though inFamous went from decent to must buy very quickly. I have an affinity towards games that let me run amok and explore a large landscape (refrence my love for Burnout Paradise, and Fallout 3). I could see myself getting many an hour out of inFamous.</p>
<p>Now,  Monster Hunter&#8230; I think this demo might have finally convinced me. I only played a single mission out of the three available. The mission was exhausting but I enjoyed it. Roaming a landscape with the intent of beating the crap out of a single giant monster&#8230; That is not going down easy mind you is a grand ole time. The demo doesn&#8217;t seem to focus down on any character but I have heard I can sink a large amount of time into developing one&#8230; and I think I&#8217;m down for that. From what I understand Monster Hunter will have an online play subscription and depending on how much the subscription is I could be swayed. Monster Hunter could be the game that fills the empty void in my life left by the original PSO on Dreamcast.</p>
<p>Infamous made me long for the days of Sly Cooper&#8230; I know what you (might) be thinking. &#8220;hey you never even finished the first one&#8221; and you are most correct. Sadly the original Sly Cooper sits neatly and nearly completed atop my pile of shame, now add to that the newly acquired Sly 2. Popping in Sly 2 over the weekend to take a peek further reignited my love for the franchise so be prepared to hear about some of that later&#8230; I am hoping that it can stay me from buying inFamous&#8230; for just a moment.</p>
<p>So past the demos there was a smattering of games to be had. During our gamestop treks Spencer aquired Oblivion and Eternal Sonata for the PS3. This is my second viewing of Oblivion&#8230; one day&#8230; perhaps after Bethesda is done pumping my wallet for Fallout 3 DLC I will dip back and finally pick up Oblivion. After visiting the Western world of RPGs  I got a fair viewing of Eternal Sonata&#8217;s beginning moments&#8230; and why do JRPGs on console just bore me to death anymore&#8230; The game is beautiful and the combat looks fairly amusing&#8230;. but the pacing, it is like watching a hot elderly blind woman count out a dollar twenty six in pennies.</p>
<div id="attachment_65" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 655px"><img class="size-large wp-image-65" title="Eternal Sonata" src="http://megatile.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/pro06.jpg?w=1024" alt="Eternal Sonata" width="645" height="363" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The texture work in this game just makes me swoon.</p></div>
<p>When I wasn&#8217;t watching Spencer RPG his little heart out I played some Prince of Persia. So&#8230; well&#8230; so far it is still pretty good. I am enjoying the traversal and now that I realize that the game wants to do EVERYTHING for me I am not falling as much. It is odd though unlike the last three games where all the areas felt distinct from one another it is hard to break this game up into chunks to talk about. The entire game is essentially one giant level so that might be why.</p>
<p>To cap it all off I played some Pixel Junk Eden to continue my tradition of Saturday podcast and coffee game time. I also slid Jeanne D&#8217;arc back into the PSP. I was going to talk about them but I am so close to capping them off I think I am going to wait and just do a &#8220;completed&#8221; post for them.</p>
<p>Sorry for the slow updates I should be back in the groove here shortly.</p>
