The term, which stands for bourgeois-bohème, is actually also used in english but not as much as in french. Mainly in relation to this book: Bobos in Paradise - Wikipedia (note that the article says the author coined the term, but it exists in french since the '70s apparently but not exactly...

It's fitting that this whole affair starts with a comedy tour.

Bad news :( It did not ring a bell even if, at his latest count, he saw more than a thousand american westerns! (I hope it includes 15min silent ones!). He suspects though that it might be a scene from a european Western, a field in which he is a lot less knowledgeable (Spain and Italy produced...

@Gamma Rays I have no idea, but I forwarded the question to an acquaintance of mine who is an expert in the field of cowboy movies! That's a pretty big field though, even more so if you include the TV series / films that I assume it could have been?

Saw 20ish movies in a festival... I guess the stand outs were: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the second part of a super epic indian movie. It's so over the top and devoid of 2nd degree that it lands in a strange territory between "so bad it's good" and "contagious enthusiasm." Amusingly, the...

So let me get this straight.... when the game chosen are popular, it sucks because they always show the same games. When they are obscure, it sucks because who cares about those games. When the runs are long, it's boring, but when they are short it's lame because glitches are used. Also, since...

The best platformer of the last decade is Super Mario Maker, but I guess it can be argued that it is partly in spite of Nintendo!

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is probably the highest budget art game since Silent Hill 4: The Room. There are some dumb parts (it's kinda the point, but there is clever dumb and dumb dumb and sometimes it's the wrong kind), but there are many great memorable elements, in game design, story and...

Did the NES classic emulate the NES or was there actual NES components in it?

I watch a lot of twitch these days, mostly on a 2nd screen while web browsing, etc. I almost only watch speedrunning retro games and Mario Maker (playing levels as well as making levels). It's a kind of ever entertaining game design class. EndySWE, Arcus87, Syun_N, Thabeast721, Aurateur...

PS1 emulation on PS3 is craptacular. Using an actual PS1 or PS2 on a CRT is the way to go or using expensive RGB to HDMI devices made for video games such as a framemeister... I want to buy one but everytime I see the price I am like... well... I have a CRT after all and I am not a streamer...

Providing Golden State keeps the same roster and no one is run over by a bus or kills his wife, is there a realistic scenario in which transfers allow a team to be competitive with them?

You don't have to kill, you just have to spend money :) Maybe the market changed, but wide circulation games (which includes a lot of the classics) were pretty cheap 10ish years ago. Some games are stupidly rare and expensive though and, well, many games did not age that well or were not even...

The Neo Geo was a strange beast. SNK made a dual system that had an arcade version (MVS) and a home version (AES). Initially, the idea was for people to be able to rent the AES and games to have an arcade experience at home. Despite the price, it seemed people clamored for the system and games...

"Oh and we're working on Metroid Prime 4! We pinky swear it!" is an odd announcement to make. We know it's not Retro doing it too.

I have a Neo Geo and a Neo Geo CD, but I did not buy them at the time of release. I don't have many games on those though, less than a dozen on each, but I have those I wanted. Magician Lord, Nam 75, Samurai Spirits and its sequel.... now that I think of it, I don't have the Metal Slug games...

This week end I was watching on twitch some Dark Soul 3 and some Bloodborne and then I watched some Skyrim... I understand that these games are pretty different at their core, but the guy in Skyrim was fighting Otar the Mad (a sorcerer guy) and by contrast with the other two games it looked...

You are quite the oracle! Only 99% of the people with even just a cursory interest in the NBA predicted that outcome.

When you conquer without risk, you triumph without glory.

The games showed were interesting, but outside the VR portion only Utnayan cares about, no new IP and very few new titles were shown. I mean the only two reveals were Monster Hunter and the Shadow of the Colossus remake (maybe the Call of Duty game too?).

He did work actively to limit casualties though!

Shadow of the Colossus 2??? Wait... remaster more likely.

As far as the writing go, before being worried with questions of representation and diversity, I think they should have worried about tone. I am not sure I am ready to root for a couple who just crashed a flying fortress on a city (even if the people manning said fortress thought it was A-Ok to...

The latest installments kinda lost steam, but the IP as a whole started in 2009 and sold more than 50 millions units (7 games, all formats). Considering they cost about 3 bucks to make (music rights notwithstanding), it is a ridiculous cash cow. Also I am not counting the many spin-offs (there...

I am exited for a game set in ancient Egypt. Not very exited that it's an AC game...

Too expensive :( Also about 20min battery life...

It's ill advised to do a drinking game during the MS conference if you drink at every Xbox games that will also be available on PC.

I have not seen the movie, but I suspect that in a Marvel movie they work based on the assumption that people know who Nick Fury is, while in this they work on the assumption that people do not know who Dr Jekyll is. A bit like when they made the movie version of League of Extraordinary...

Also the Lynx had a total of 74 games of which about 74 were crap. The screen was in color but was crap (the GameBoy screen was crappy in a different way, but in the right light conditions it was very comfortable). And what do you even mean with "maturity level"? Last I checked, killing God with...

The GameBoy had head to head multiplayer in 200+ games... in fact a dozen games had 4 people multiplayer with a gizmo. There is even one game that allowed 16 players at the same time by chaining 4 players adapters, but I doubt it ever happened outside the devs office though.

Nothing like a handheld console with a 160x102 screen that can't fit in any kind of pocket and that runs through 6 AA batteries in 4 hours!

I hear the new game from the people who made the brilliant Brothers: A Tale of Two Souls was shown at the EA conference? I'll play that for sure.

When was the last time Curry made a grand total of 4 shots in a match?

If you are a star player and can count past 3+1, I think you can realize it's a good investment in your brand to get a lower salary in a winning team.

As a Lebron hater I must say I find it pretty funny that this match ended with him bricking a three, getting three'd by Durant and then getting stripped by Iguodala! I think there is also a missed lay-up in there somewhere? But still, good job keeping it close.

At the very least that was a competitive game!

If the Warriors win the next two, some soul searching will be needed at the NBA, because your product is not very interesting if at the start of the season everyone knows exactly what will happen and it happens exactly.

To be fair, if Curry had to defend James one on one he would also look pretty ridiculous!

Is everyone healthy on both teams?

Spending waaay too much time on youTube these past couple days....
