I want to use this blog to make translations into English from French game sites or mainstream press articles about video games. Maybe the occasional review or opinion or something like that.

Reminds me of a time when i went out with a few mates in Manchester, ended up going to the village, and a place called vanilla. It has the tag line "Where the girls are", I just felt silly. :-)
I'm still never sure how I feel about all this. To me, it just seems to put up barriers between "gay people" and "not gay people", which isn't the best idea.
Or I could be my-social-self and just join Destructoid and STFUAJPG. As far as I can tell, Mr. Dtoid loves everybody regardless of race, sexual preference, or stench.
Except Paris Hilton.
.......woah, I just realized both of those games have the word "Effect" in them.
