![]() ![]() It didn't have the box office impact of Cameron's big-hitters, but it's still worth submerging yourself into. Cameron's love of diving and his environmental side are on full display here, laying the groundwork for much of what he's gone on to since – from the waterworks of Titanic, to Avatar's bioluminescent planet, and the long-promised oceans of Pandora in the upcoming Avatar sequels. At the heart of it is a team of expert divers who are hired to look for a missing nuclear submarine and find something much more fascinating. With its sub-aquatic entities (rendered with then-cutting-edge VFX that still looks good today) and a Jules Verne-ian sense of deep-sea exploration, The Abyss feels distinct from the usual space-bound sci-fi. Trust James Cameron, then – long before Avatar – to look to the other inky-black instead, the mysterious ocean depths.

![]() ![]() I?ve been playing through the game for the past week or so on the Switch, and my experience has been pretty flawless overall, more so with the patch that hit today. The controls feel super responsive overall, with effective feedback when striking blows and an easy to read visual style that prevents unfair damage or death from occurring. On top of that Zagreus can gain potent Call abilities from boons, and additional modifiers that will affect the way his dash, normal, and special attacks work. Zagreus has a helpful dash to dodge enemy attacks, and two primary attack buttons tied to the weapon you select before each Underworld attempt. The gameplay is presented from an isometric view and is action-focused. The gods and skills you encounter on each run are random, making each run and skill loadout pretty unique throughout. ![]() These skills can be upgraded throughout a single run but will be lost when Zagreus dies and restarts. These serve as Zagreus? primary skills and are presented as three different options to choose from when received. ![]() While exploring the Underworld, Zagreus will have the opportunity to receive boons from other gods and goddesses he encounters. Dialogue and the accompanying voiceover work is also excellent, and feels right in line with the level of quality I?ve seen in previous Supergiant Games releases. The story elements are handled really well, more so than what you tend to see in most roguelike adventures. There?s a cast of characters that will appear in different areas to interact with, befriend, and occasionally receive items from. The hub world also serves as a primary area to advance the story. He?ll retain certain items gained from the previous run, mostly various types of currency that can be spent on a variety of things, some of which are cosmetic in nature, others that will enhance later runs through the Underworld. ![]() In order to do so, you?ll run Zagreus through numerous realms, populated by a variety of mythological monsters and side characters that expand upon the story along the way.Įach failed attempt will land Zagreus back into a sort of hub world to start over. In Hades, you?ll take control of Zagreus, son of Hades, God of the Underworld. Hades would generally fall under the category of a roguelike, a game meant to be played over and over again, where the player progresses through an increasingly difficult adventure by dying and restarting with new knowledge and retained skills to help them along the way. Like other Supergiant Games, you can kind of shoehorn Hades into a particular genre, but with some other unique concepts mixed in. So provided you can pull yourself away from furiously F5?ing PlayStation 5 pre-order pages, Hades is absolutely worth checking out. It?s out of its lengthy Early Access cycle and seeing a full release on PC and Nintendo Switch today, and has been a whole lot of fun to play. Personally, Supergiant Games hasn?t really let me down yet, and I?m happy to say that their newest release, Hades, is no different. While you might not be a fan of every single release, it?s hard to deny that games like Bastion, Pyre, and Transistor have an undeniable sense of style and polish that even larger development teams don?t always manage to nail. If you?ve played any of developer Supergiant Games previous titles, you likely have an idea of what to expect when it comes to overall quality. ![]() ![]() 130 North Garland Court, #1612 The Loop, Chicago Why Cloud Gate is called the Bean In addition, cleaners come twice a year to polish and buff the entire sculpture. In fact, the Bean’s maintenance crew come to wipe down the fingerprints on the bottom sections up to seven times a day. So can you touch the Bean? The short answer is yes! Cloud Gate was built as an interactive sculpture where visitors can touch, observe their reflections, and walk through the art. As the reflection changes depending on the visitor’s position, every person creates their own vision of the park and surrounding areas. In other words, it perfectly captures the experiences of visiting Millennium Park by the visitor viewing the reflection. The shiny exterior of the Bean perfectly reflects and distorts the surrounding skyline, green space, and people moving around the park. The inspiration for the installation’s reflective surface is liquid mercury. However, the sculpture was not completely finished until 2006. ![]() It was first unveiled in 2004 at the opening of Millennium Park. Moreover, the Cloud Gate installation is his first permanent public outdoor art in the United States. Many of these also include reflective surfaces. He is well-known for many of his large scale outdoor works of art. He is an Indian-born British artist and sculptor. 6 North Michigan Avenue, #1103 The Loop, Chicago Who built the Bean? This allows the plates to expand and contract depending on weather changes. In addition, the Bean’s stainless steel exterior is connected to the frame with flexible connectors. It allows the weight of the sculpture to be on the two end points, which creates the “bean shape”. This framework is similar to what you might see on a bridge. The interior is made up of two large metal rings that connect by a framework. ![]() It was created by putting together 168 massive steel plates and welding them shut to create a seamless finish. The Bean is completely made up of stainless steel. The Chicago Bean is 33 feet high, 43 feet wide, and 66 feet long. Specifically, you can find it in Millennium Park, a lakefront park in the Loop or downtown Chicago. The Chicago Bean explainedįirst off, where is the Chicago Bean located? It can be found in the heart of Chicago. Let’s explore the idea behind this installation and how it came to be. The Chicago Bean is a unique site you can’t get anywhere else. This public art has become an icon to the city and is a must-see spot for many tourists visiting. One of the most famous attractions in Chicago is the Bean. Living in the Windy City means you get access to all the wonderful landmarks and attractions the city has to offer. Do you really know what is the story behind it and why was it built? The story of chef Grant Achatz is fascinating and learning about it makes you truly appreciate what he’s done with this restaurant.Whether you live in Chicago or not, you have most likely seen the Chicago Bean, also known as the Cloud Gate. It was featured in an episode of Chef’s Table on Netflix, which you must watch if you haven’t already. Chuckles took me out to the incredible Alinea, the only three Michelin star restaurant in Chicago. Our evening was the highlight of our entire trip. It would have been a better experience on a warm spring day, but unfortunately we arrived during the midst of a polar vortex that extended well into April, so it was pretty breezy on the boat deck. ![]() Well, we did it! It was actually quite an interesting 1.5 hour boat ride along the Chicago River with a guide telling us about the city’s various architectural landmarks. This is apparently a ‘top ten’ tour in Chicago and according to many TripAdvisor reviews, is a must-do for Chicago visitors. ![]() A post shared by Jessica | I’ve Bean Eating the afternoon, we went on the well-hyped Chicago Architecture Foundation river cruise. ![]() ![]() ![]() : A Special Lecture (Virtual) on 'Helen Adams Keller'.

A miniaturist and pastel portraitist in her own right, she lived with Labille-Guiard before and after the artist's marriage to Vincent, and continued to care for him after Labille-Guiard's death. Marie Gabrielle Capet was Labille-Guiard's favorite student. The Museum also owns a trois crayons study in chalk for the heads of these pupils ( 1998.186), in which Labille-Guiard experiments with proximity and light. Their relationship and the fall of light over their faces show her skill as a painter. Likewise, the inclusion of her pupils offers Labille-Guiard the opportunity to wrestle with the complexities of composition. Her beautiful dress and beribboned straw hat are rich in color and complex in execution she describes the reflection of the blue fabric in the parquet at her feet. She depicts herself at work in her atelier, palette in hand, box of paints to her right, a porte-crayon and a scroll of paper or canvas on the stool in the foreground. A contemporary critic called it not only her most beautiful portrait, but one of the finest paintings at the Salon that year. Labille-Guiard exhibited this work at the Salon of 1785. In 1800, she married the painter Vincent. She stayed in France throughout the Revolution and secured commissions from several of its leading figures. She was instead politically motivated and devoted herself to the teaching and advancement of women artists, seeking equal rights for them at the Académie. However, Labille-Guiard was not ambitious for a society clientele. Later, she was taken up by the Mesdames de France, the elderly maiden aunts of Louis XVI (1754–1793) who became her most important patrons. Together with Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842), she was admitted in 1783 to full membership in the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and she exhibited at least ten pastels at the Salon that year. Labille-Guiard was exclusively a portraitist (then considered an appropriate genre for a woman) she was a fine painter in oils but may have preferred the pastel medium. She learned the techniques of pastel from Maurice Quentin de La Tour (1704–1788), and then in 1776 entered the studio of her childhood friend François André Vincent (1746–1816), François Élie's son, to study oil painting. In 1769 she married Nicolas Guiard, from whom she separated in 1779.

I know a lot of times we’re so worried about the judgmental eyes of others but please remember that usually, people aren’t even thinking the negative things about us, or the way we look that we assume they are, and even if they are, remember that those thoughts come from deflecting their own negativity and self hate onto you.

But it has to be said, if you really want to get the full experience for these soundtracks give these games a spin. That way we can include even more games that might have gotten snubbed otherwise (there are, obviously, some exceptional cases).įinally, we’ve included a song for each entry and a playlist for them all. For example, some of us really love Megaman 3, but Megaman 2 is here to take the trophy home for the whole NES team. Also, since video games can have a tremendous amount of sequels we have occasionally chosen our favorite from a series that deserves recognition as a whole. This means no Beatles Rock Band, no Tony Hawk, and no Grand Theft Auto (for what it’s worth, Vice City is the best) because to mix those with original soundtracks is simply unfair. Most importantly: licensed soundtracks - an incredible act of curation and an art form in their own right - are out of bounds. Ordering decades’ worth of timeless video game soundtracks into a definitive top 100 requires a few ground rules. But what are the greatest examples of this marriage? From Nintendo 8-bit classics to stirring cinematic scores that have accompanied modern masterpieces like Red Dead Redemption and The Last Of Us, here’s our ultimate guide to the best ever video game OSTs. Photo Credit: Public domain image of Paul Anka.Video games and music have always gone hand in hand. It’s more fun for the rest of us if you provide a couple of reasons for your choice. How about you? I invite you to offer your nominees for the hall of shame either here or on our Facebook page. Additionally, the melody of the verse is directly lifted from “ Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” which is odd given that the 4 Non Blondes song seems dedicated to the eradication of happiness, a paean to pointless angst if there ever was one. The vocal delivery is beyond histrionic, it’s laughably overdone – I always feel the urge to call in medical help for the singer. “I realized quickly when I knew I should / That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man / For whatever that means…” Weird use of a preposition aside, there’s just something about this song that feels completely inauthentic and staged. If they were able to write “ Fernando,” then Frank Farian could have come up with something a little less random. “Babe, don’t be shy / When you’re holding my hand / ‘Cause this time goes back / You got to understand it’s you…” Writing in a second language would be a possible excuse for the utter incoherence of this lyric, were it not for the counter-example of groups like Abba. “Baby Don’t Forget My Number” by Milli Vanilli This is probably the best song on this list. ![]() But any potential for interesting darkness is ruined by the utter insipidness of the melody and its delivery. I will admit that Blunt paints a terrifying portrait of delusion with few words. I surmise that they paid little attention to the actual lyrics of this excerpt from a stalker’s diary. When this song came out, I saw internet comments from young women who were just bowled over by Blunt’s romanticism. But I won’t lose no sleep on that, / ‘Cause I’ve got a plan.” Yeah, that’s not creepy at all. “She’s like the wind/through my tree.” Nothing that happens afterwards can possibly redeem this outlandishly awkward “metaphor.” It’s not just clunky, it’s creepy, and there’s a hilariously disturbing possibility that it’s actually a phallic reference. “Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin’?” This line expresses Anka’s view of reproduction, and it’s one that is shared by Medieval Europe and many traditional tribal societies – a woman’s body is a host for the man’s seed, with no agency or active contribution. It’s HIS baby? She’s going through pregnancy to say how much she loves him? Surely a card would have sufficed. Here are some personal examples of songs I wish I had never heard: Sometimes the reason is hard to identify, you just know that there’s something deeply wrong.
