Hey, are you lonely?
Has summer gone so slowly?
We found the ground
And that damage was done
It's cold as you fade into the sun
Where'd you go? To me?
But you're alive, well it's only
Fallen frames, they told me
You stand out, it's so loud
And so what if it is?
It's cold as you face into the wind
Where'd it go tonight the sun shall see its light?
So what if you catch me, where would we land?
In somebody's life for taking his hands
Sing to me hope as she's thrown on the sand
All of our work is raided again, where to go ?
And you were somehow
The rain this thing could allow
I tried but it's all wrong, you're so strong
And this life and work
And choice took far too long
Where'd it go tonight the sun shall see its light
So what if you catch me, where would we land?
In somebody's life for taking his hands
Sing to me hope as she's thrown on the sand
All of our work is raided again
When I was sure you'd follow through
My world was turned to blue so thin
When you'd hide your songs would die
So I'd hide yours with mine
And all my words were bound to fail
I know you won't fail see, I can tell
Bit of everything, songs & lyrics, book reviews & thoughts I keep to myself and won't write on here

Remy Zero - Fair Lyrics

Paul Kearney - Les Monarchies Divine 5 - Les Vaisseaux de L'Ouest
Que dire? C'est fini c'est déjà ça mais ça reste le moins bon des cinqs (notte que le deuxième n'était pas fantastique non plus). La traduction d'abord est en deça des autres livres, on trouve plusieurs coquilles à la suite ce qui nuit à la lecture.
Ensuite l'histoire en elle même est expédiée (elle se passe presque vingt ans après le quatrième tôme on peut donc oublier l'une des parties les plus intéressante du livre). On a un peu l'impression que l'auteur est pressé d'en finir, je ne sais pas pour quelle raison mais bon ça fait très cliché quand même. On raccourcit l'histoire des tous les personnages, on marie untelle en un paragraphe alors qu'on a passé plusieurs page au début du livre à commencé une possible romance avec une autre personne. On tue untel et untel (oui des personnages principaux) à quelques lignes d'écart ce qui enlève tout effet (ou intérêt du lecteur) à ces décès. De plus le fait de le faire en toute fin de bouquin donne l'impression que c'est expédié pour dire d'avoir une fin à tout alors qu'il aurait du distiller ce genre de scène au fil du livre ou même laisser une porte ouverte. Bref déçu, ça se laisse lire mais on se rapproche dangereusement de la fantasy de bas étage. Reste le vocabulaire marin qui lui est toujours riche (c'est malheuresement le seul). Bref difficile de recommander la série simplement car il y'a mieux.
Jonas Brothers - Fly With Me Lyrics
If time were still
The sun would never never find us
We could light up
The sky, tonight
I would see the world through your eyes
And leave it all behind
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So, won't you fly with me
Oh yeah
Gonna fly with me now
Now the past
Has come alive
And gave it meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me
Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From a place where you needed to be
And you are right here with me
It's you and me forever
If it's You and me right now
That'd be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
Won't you fly
Fly
Fly with me

Paul Kearney - Les Monarchies Divine 4 - Le Second Empire
Paul Kearney est un bon écrivain mais pas extraordinaire. Le premier des Monarchies Divine emmène le lecteur entre la découverte de nouveau continent avec la guerre qui déchire l'ancien. Bref tous les prémisses de l'épique et il manie les différentes histoires de mains de maître mais aucune n'est très poussée. Les personnages sont directs et on pourrait vivre leur histoire séparemment. Le tout reste assez prévisible et malgré qu'il ose quand même tremper les doigts de pieds dans un univers un peu plus violent et impardonable que d'habitude (scènes de viols entre autre) on reste quand même dans l'acceptable (et c'est peut-être ce que je lui reproche le plus, de ne pas me surprendre, me déranger plus). Mais ne vous trompez pas, la lecture est agréable rapide et le destin du monde tiens au final dans les mains de Corfe car c'est bien lui qui sauve le livre. A vrai dire je suis content que ce ne soient pas des pavés. La lecture est très bien comme ça, envie de connaître la suite sans que ça paraisse trop lourd à entreprendre. Bref un petite lecture sympa, pas de révélations.

Muse - Starlight lyrics
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing your starlight
Until the end of my life
I dont know if it’s worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to
Hold you in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the cells that would die just to feel alive
I’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away...
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to
Hold you in my arms
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
I’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away...
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to
Hold you in my arms...
Hearts of Iron 3
Hearts of Iron 3 is not different, in that regard better to EU:Rome which I barely played after beta testing it. But it's really the other way around compared to HOI2.
In HOI2 I spent my time planning for war and once it triggered the game lost its interest. Here you have a bit of preparation fun but not as much as before. On the other hand you have much more fun while at war. Problem right now is that the game is too easy. No real point to conquer the world if you have no challenge doing it. So far played Germany and URSS and both time I found myself tired of just advancing and thus let the game run under AI control with me just watching and deploying troops.
Though it'd be unfair not to mention how much fun I had to reach that and the first conquest I manage. But still I think the game lacks a few things:
- More immersion (total amount of death, medal to distribute to divisions)
- More challenge (events that could turn the tide)
- A more visual combat (not asking for total war style, though I'd enjoy it but in the end I found EU:Rome combat more fun because I saw the battle unfold under my eyes)
- A better research tree, more links, more flavor.
Overall however the game has everything to become grand. I mean it's already such a step forward compared to HOI2 that it's worth the buy but it can also be frustrating and one can hope it'll become the real gems it's meant to be with a future expansion.
