What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, May 5th, 2025. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and if you are a Star Wars Geek/Nerd, I hope you had fun cosplaying with friends/family/etc. It’s a brand-new week, let’s kick-it! I was able to do a special #505_games day for 05.05.2025 for Death Stranding 1: Director’s Cut livestream session in Japanese with English subtitles. Enjoy.

Until Next Time!

Sunday/Dimanche May/Mai the 4th/Fourth Be With You/Que La Force Soit Avec Vous, 2025

Un escalier de fer

Un couloir étroit et obscur

Au fond de ce couloir, une porte entrouverte

D'où nous parviennent les accords d'une musique

Qui, en ce lieu, paraît irréelle

C'est le côté obscur de la force

C'est le côté obscur de la force

C'est le côté obscur de la force

Le sombre monarque débarque et étale son pouvoir

La puissance de l'ombre s'installe

Non, ne résiste pas, ne lutte pas

Ne te détourne pas de la main tendue vers toi

Ou je vais explorer le royaume de tes peurs

En devenir le dictateur pour mieux te dominer

Là, tu deviens raisonnable, c'est bien, oui

Tombe sous le charme pour de meilleurs lendemains

Pour les rebelles, la force est trop forte

Je balaie les petits Ewoks comme le vent balaie les feuilles mortes

Les indécis sont avertis

Qu'ils se méfient de la seule étoile qui se fond dans la nuit

Le Bastion des bas-fonds du pays en action

L'énergie dégagée génère une telle attraction

Que vers lui se tournent enfin tous les regards

Pour s'apercevoir que l'espoir émerge du noir

Une partie de tout homme la force manipule

D'un rien il suffit pour que l'être bascule

Que les yeux de l'aveugle s'ouvrent

Qu'il contemple Mars de l'obscur au côté, le temple

N'aie pas peur, ouvre-moi ton cœur, viens vers l'Empereur

Sentir la chaleur de l'obscurité

Pour toi, il est l'heure de rejoindre

L'armée des guerriers de l'ombre

Ne vois-tu pas ton côté clair qui succombe?

C'est ta destinée, pourquoi vouloir lui résister?

Sans peine, je ferai sauter les verrous de ta volonté

Sois l'hôte dans la noirceur la plus pure de l'Empereur

Et arbore les couleurs du côté obscur

Obscure, la force est noire, c'est noir comme le château

Où flotte l'étendard, notre drapeau

Sois sûr que sous les feux, la vérité est masquée

Viens, bascule de notre côté

Obscure, la force est noire, c'est noir comme le château

Où flotte l'étendard, notre drapeau

Sois sûr que sous les feux, la vérité est masquée

Viens, bascule de notre côté obscure

Nous devons tous deux unir nos efforts pour l'attirer vers le côté obscur de la force

Tu ne connais pas l'étendue de la force obscure

L'empereur te révélera la vraie nature de la force

Je suis le fils de Jaffar, le sale rejeton de Dark Vador

Un grand cador du maniement, le mic, j'adore

Adapter ma technique à la manière du caméléon

Sans pitié pour mater la rébellion

Millénaire, salive empoisonnée langue amère

Un Pilot V5 en tant que sabre laser

Quoi, ma conscience comme seule médaille

Je traque et j'étripe sans remords tous les chevaliers Jedi

La haine monte en toi, je le sais parfaitement

Je vois ta main droite gantée de noir

C'est sans espoir, la mutation s'amorce

Ta nature que tu obtures, le côté obscur de la force

Viens vers moi, passe le pont de part en part

Rejoindre ma demeure dans la lune noire

Mars est l'empire, je lance mes troupes à terre

Pour éradiquer ce niais de Jean-Claude Gaudin Skywalker

Petit présomptueux, ne vois-tu pas le nombre déployé?

L'armée des ombres, tu seras éliminé

Au nom des forces mystiques qui habitent là

Dans mon cerveau, je ne donne pas cher de ta peau

Le souffle de la force est en moi

Le microphone crépite, crache des tas de flammes sur les "en bois"

Le fils de Dieu tremble mais lutte avec ses armes

Renverse les crédos qui lui semblent

Erronés, brise les traîtres de la tête au péroné

Par la peur, l'ennemi reste sclérosé

Longue vie au règne de la nuit

D'une théorie qui renverse les croyances établies

(Luke, aide-moi) idiote, il est trop tard

Tu appartiens au sinistre sombre seigneur vêtu de noir

Casque, souffle rauque sous une armure

Du soldat le plus dur de l'empire du côté obscur

Obscure, la force est noire, c'est noir comme le château

Où flotte l'étendard, notre drapeau

Sois sûr que sous les feux, la vérité est masquée

Viens, bascule de notre côté

Obscure, la force est noire, c'est noir comme le château

Où flotte l'étendard, notre drapeau

Sois sûr que sous les feux, la vérité est masquée

Viens, bascule de notre côté obscure

Fais ce dernier pas en direction de la force obscure

L'empereur te révélera la vraie nature de la force

Comprends-tu maintenant ce qu'est la force obscure?

La force? Oui, la force
