Woah, a journal ! It's been a while since I have posted one. Not that I have nothing interesting to say - to the contrary - but I have been awfully busy lately (for a change...).

But first of all, I would to squeeze and hug to death , who kindly offered me and VA a subscribtion on DA !!
So, again, thanks hips man ! I don't think we deserved such a thing, but it is really appreciated nevertheless...

The trouble is that now I have to work out how to use all the new features...

And now...! :

1) Featuring...:

MOAR cool Europeans comics:

a) "Blacksad":

Certainly one of the best comic EVER ! It is a shame I did not mention it before...

For more information, take a look at the Wikipedia article: [link]

The hero, John Blacksad totally kicks ass ! And the graphic atmosphere is awesome:

b) Angor:

A "Fantasy" comic in the tipycal graphic style which tends to dominate the world of comics at the moment.
Nice story, nice characters, and I found it rather interesting because one of the characters is exactly how I picture Lucien Lachance as a teenager ( [link] . Click on the cover. it is the guy on the top of the picture. ^^ )

c) No. Not a comic this time, but a great book by Richard Dawkins: "The God Delusion". An excellent and well-argumented work on Atheism (and against religion).

I am particularly grateful to him for having explained exactly Einstein's position on religion (and atheism). Indeed, I am sick and tired of seeing the famous "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." quoted like that by people who believed in a personal god (i.e a God which listens to payers, punishes people...ect), whereas Einstein certainly did not believe in THAT.

Oh, and did I mention Dawkins and Douglas Adams were friends ? I wonder if Dawkins knows Terry Pratchett ?

2) Cool Oblivion mods !

A while ago, the nice () asked me what mods I used for Oblivion. So here is a (non exhaustive) lists of the one I currently run. I will update it regurlarly. ^^

a) Saved games:

- Vicente Valtieri : [link]

- Lucien Lachance : [link]

(Nota: I also have saved games of J'Ghasta and Janus Hassildor ^^)

b) Quests:

- Great, great quest about the origins of the Mages Guild: [link]

- An BRILLIANT mod for any mage or wanna be necromancers: [link]

- You are sick and tired of seeing Kvatch burning endlessly - even after having finished the main quest? This mod is for you ! : [link]

- A very, very good mod, which also adds you a companion: [link]

- Good mod too, with great dialogues and storyline: [link]

- So darn funny and great for assassin folks ! : [link]

c) Armours, weapons and physical change:

- The Blades Ceremonial Armour: [link]

There was also a mod for glowing eyes, but I can't find it anymore... :/


d) Companions:

e) Races:

Tabaxi Cat: [link]

f) Clans, cities and guilds:

A must for any Vampire character ! ^^
