Le Sénat examine l’article 42 du projet de loi ‘République Numérique’ porté par Axelle Lemaire, secrétaire d’Etat au Numérique.
Dans cet article, les députés (majorité de gauche) ont prévu un régime souple qui permet aux organisateurs de compétitions de jeux vidéo de bénéficier du même régime que les sports classiques.
La commission des lois du Sénat ne l’entend pas de cette oreille et a modifié le texte pour y mettre un régime beaucoup plus strict : les compétitions d’eSport seraient assimilées à des lotteries et il faudrait une autorisation du ministère de l’intérieur pour pouvoir en organiser.
Les sénateurs de gauche (Jérôme Durain notamment) ont déposé des ammendements pour revenir vers une version plus souple de l’article, comme les députés. Le Gouvernement (Axelle Lemaire) soutient ces ammendements.
Face à eux, la commission des lois (son rapporteur, Christophe-André Frassa) et la droite (Philippe Dallier) vont défendent la position de la commission et essayent d’empêcher ces amendements d’être adoptés.
Que vont décider finalement les sénateurs ? Réponse à la fin de la vidéo !

Star Wars as a franchise has managed to provide some exhilarating content which allured the masses, eventually captivating them with its immersive storytelling, futuristic universe and iconic characters.
As popular as it is, the franchise attracted developers to create games based on the story’s vast universe and let the fans trot through universe, wielding themselves with lightsabers. From Star Wars: Jedi Arena to Star Wars: Battlefront, we have definitely come a long way, but the excitement never seems to cease.
Now, the creators of immensely popular multiplayer shooter Titanfall, Respawn has announced that they will be developing a new, third-person action /adventure Star Wars game in collaboration with EA and Lucasfilm.
Respawn, designer, Stig Asmussen seemed pretty happy about it, as he posted in a blog letter that, “The entire company erupted in cheers when it was announced that this would be our next endeavor.”
Respawn will be joining the subsidiaries of EA, who are involved in creating Star Wars games like, Visceral Games, DICE, Capital Games.
As exciting as it is, no details about the game or its release window or possible platforms has been revealed. But, Respawn seems to be pretty ambitious as well as serious about the project as Asmussen informed, “But it’s not all fun and games — we promise to pay respect to the Star Wars legacy at all times, a fact that will be constantly reinforced and honoured as a central game design tenet.”
So, what can we expect from this upcoming game? Well, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode VIII slated to release in near future, may we see the storyline based on these movies? Or perhaps it will take anecdotes from the recently released, Star Wars: The Force Awakens or it might well create an in-game story of its own.
Respawn is also working on the sequel of their much-appreciated Titanfall, which they teased recently. About the Star Wars game, we would just have to wait and see how the company manages to make it different from plethora of others already there. Till then, may the force be with them.

We’re are all familiar with cartoons, be it in magazines, newspapers, web illustrations, comic books and the fact remains that they provide us with comic relief after a long day. Throughout the globe, cartoonists have used their art as a medium to highlight social stigmas, injustice, corruptions and even applauded the deserved ones when required. Today, on Cartoonist’s Day, we take a look at some of the aces from the Indian cartoon industry, who though have left us, have managed to leave a treasure of legacies which will forever be etched in history.
Shankar Pillai
The genre of political cartooning in India is highly popular now, but all of the (critical) humour that we get our hands on right now was pioneered by one man. Kesava Shankara Pillai, or Shankar as he was fondly and popularly known, was born in 1902 at Kayamkulam. Considered as the ‘Father of Indian political cartooning’, he was the founder of Shankar’s Weekly which he edited and published himself and it is often coined as the ‘Punch’ of India and inspired other cartoonists like Abu Abraham, Ranga and Kutty. He was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 1976 and now is widely remembered for setting up Children’s Book Trust. The maestro had been indulged in the essence of drama and a lot of literary work. The pioneer passed away in 1986, leaving his legacy behind to encourage the budding cartoonists.
Balasaheb Thackeray
Bal Keshav Thackeray or more popularly known as Balasaheb Thackery is famed to the masses as the founder of the Shiv Sena political party. But, he was a man of many talents, one of them being a cartoonist. He started his career with the The Free Press Journal, however soon moved on to create his own political weekly named Marmik. His cartoons served to his campaigns against the rising number of non-Marathi people in Mumbai. Vigilant on his side, he depicted all of it through intricate illustrations. Apart from that, his works reflected and highlighted the rise of poverty and price-rise and even critical issues like riots and then growing arms distribution throughout the country. The cartoon maestro passed away in the year 2012.
RK Laxman
R.K. Laxman or Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Laxman is one of the most famed cartoonists of the country. He illustrated his elder brother, R.K. Narayan’s stories in The Hindu during his college days and eventually joined his first fulltime job as a political cartoonist at The Free Press Journal. He is mostly noted for his cartoon character called ‘The Common Man’ and for his comic strip called, You Said It. Initiated in 1951, the ‘The Common Man’ since then has carried the hopes, ambitions, grievances of the common Indian masses and highlighted them in a light hearted yet critically important way. The character was so widely accepted that he was featured in one of the postal stamps released by the Indian Postal Service to commemorate the 150th anniversary of The Times Of India. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 93.
Mario Miranda
Famed for his fantastic illustrations in The Times of India and The Illustrated Weekly of India, Mario Miranda definitely glorified his spot as one of the top notch cartoonists of India. Born on 2 May, 1926 in the Portuguese province of India (now Daman), his real life cartoons always portrayed a strong imagery of the daily life. Mostly set in the backdrops of a street corner, food joints or some recreational place, his cartoons carried back and forth a vivid variety of emotions and daily life. His cartoons can be found replete over the walls of one of South Mumbai’s most famous locations, Cafe Mondegar at Colaba. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1988 and the Padma Bhushan in 2002. India Cartoonists’ Association, Bangalore, honoured him with a lifetime achievement award too. The cartoonist genius passed away in 2011. This year, Google paid homage to his talent with a Google doodle on his death anniversary.
Pran Kumar Sharma
Pran Kumar Sharma or more popularly known as Pran, was one of the most well known cartoonists of India. He was the force behind the creation of India’s favourite cartoon character, ‘Chacha Chaudhary’. Pran initiated his career in 1960 as a cartoonist for the Delhi based newspaper Milap with a comic strip called Daabu. In 1969, he etched Chacha Chaudhary for the Hindi magazine ‘Lotpot’, which also featured another immensely successful comic strip called ‘Motu Patlu’ illustrated by Kripa Shankar Bhardwaj, which has been transformed into a CGI animated show on Nickelodeon. Pran received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001 from Indian Institute of Cartoonists and was also included in People of the year 1995 by Limca Book of Records for popularising comics in India. He passed away in 2014, leaving behind comic treasures to be relished forever.
Vijay Narain Seth
Born in 1944, Vijay Narain Seth was an Indian cartoonist, better known by his pen name, Vins. He considered veteran cartoonist Mario Miranda as his mentor and started off as a political cartoonist. He worked with Himmat weekly and contributed with a cartoon names, Chalta hai. His works grace the Penguin Book of Indian cartoons. The illustrator contributed to various categories like science, business, politics and more. He was the first Indian contributing cartoonist for the Indian Edition of Reader’s Digest in 1976. 21 of his satirical cartoons are now part of the online cartoon museum of Aydin Dogan Wakfi in Istanbul, Turkey and some of his cartoons have also been made part of permanent collection at the International Cartoon Museum and the Karikatur and Cartoon Museum, Basel in Switzerland. He passed away in 2014.
Sudhir Tailang
Sudhir Tailang, born in 1960 at Bikaner, Rajasthan, beautifully and wittily interspersed humour with politics while fabricating critical satires to contemporary politics. He has been associated with the Illustrated Weekly of India and the Nav Bharat Times, Hindustan Times, The Times of India and The Indian Express. In 2009, he released a book titled ‘No, Prime Minister’ which had cartoons and illustrations depicting Manmohan Singh during his stretch of being the Prime Minister. He received the prestigious Padma Shri award in 2004 for his contributions in the art of cartooning. Even though he was a critic of the contemporary politics, famous political personalities mourned when he passed away in the year 2016.
Ram Waeerkar
The brush master behind the the famed Amar Chitra Katha, Ram Waeerkar was an integral part in the history of cartoons in India. He was the talent who churned out famous characters like Suppandi, Pyarelal, Choru and Joru and many more in the widely read monthly magazine, Tinkle. His works which reflected mythology, fables and legends from the Indian subcontinent were hugely popular, as was his comic characters like Suppandi, who is an ignorant, but faithful servant to his masters, but his ignorance cost him many jobs. His sheer talent was appreciated by the likes of many, from the common man to celebrities alike. He passed away in 2003.

It has been a decade since the pioneering edition of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War was released back in 2004, followed by numerous expansions and a sequel Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II in 2009. While the game was able to enthral players with its stunning visuals and strategic gameplay style, a third edition of the game was long overdue and it was being said that the same was in development back in 2011.
Now, developers Relic Entertainment and publishers Sega have officially announced the much anticipated game with an announcement trailer.
Here’s what we know so far about the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III:
It will be released sometime in 2017: Although everyone would be expecting the game to be released this year (given the wait), it seems to have a scheduled release for next year.
The gameplay will intersperse the style of its former editions: The first press release from Sega/Relic mentioned, “the epic scale of Dawn of War” combined with “the customisation and elite heroes of Dawn of War II.” The first part of the game was heavily reliant on building bases and capturing strategic points for victory, while the later version had bestowed players with perks of customisation and control of epic heroes. The third edition is likely to mingle both the styles and create something absolutely different. While the overall map is still likely to be controlled by power generators, this version will feature colossal units with special abilities bringing in the essence of the second edition.
Also, the ‘cover’ feature is returning which hints at heavy defence from ranged attacks but easier to clear out with assaults.
Races/Tribes: The game will be focused on three major races, namely the Space Marines, Orks and the Eldar. The campaign mode will not be played through one of the races, rather it will cover all the three with narrative transitions, as their website says, “This universe has no heroes or villains. Through alternating missions you’ll soon learn the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar.”
Multiplayer: It goes without saying that an RTS game of this calibre will feature multiplayer modes, there is already a co-op mode mentioned on their Steam page. It would be interesting to see what other (if) multiplayer components are added to the game and if they can break into the competitive scene.
To conclude, from the looks of the trailer, the game looks pretty surreal. With three races and battling super-giants, it looks like a lot to look forward to. Also, going by the surroundings of its previous editions, the game will mostly have an amazing setting as their Steam page also mentions, “Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or onboard battle cruisers travelling fast through space.”
Guess we have to wait for 2017 to try it out for ourselves, but we will keep you updated as more news comes out from the makers.
