![]() Your inventory may be limited to a scant few items, but the brain-teasers are back in full force. After Botonicula eschewed genre conventions by making its progress-gating puzzles light and breezy, Samorost 3 - a return to the series of student games Amanita made back in the day - is a little more traditional in its paces. While the visuals are consistently inventive, Samorost 3's design as a point-and-click adventure is noticeably less novel. The first half of Samorost 2 is free too. You can play the first Samorost for free on Amanita Design's website. From otherworldly mossy groves, to ancient hollows hurtling through space, to quirky caverns of ambrosial insects, there's never any telling what Amanita has in store for you, but you know it's going to look stunning. Each and every background, creature, and animation is lavishly detailed in an arresting mish-mash of what looks like (but isn't) stop-motion puppetry with 2D animation. Though strictly set in a fantasy realm, this latest cosmic adventure about a space-travelling gnome adheres to the ubiquitous Gene Roddenberry dream "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations". The Czech studio revels in its art direction and animation. Coming later this year to iOS and Android devices. And who better to whisk you off to a new realm than Amanita Design, the visually arresting game design and animation studio behind Machinarium and Botanicula? Samorost 3 "You're about to see something new!" these games signal to you the moment you've thought your way out of a rut. Progress! It's a strange genre that way, in which the smallest victory can feel earth-shattering. ![]() ![]() Where you're tinkering around with a mechanical puzzle and a new animation triggers. Wordless, beautiful and languid, the latest Samorost is a fine adventure game, even if it's not particularly adventurous itself.Īrguably the most appealing aspect of point-and-click adventures is not solving the puzzles themselves - though they're often a joy - but that moment something whirs into life. ![]()

![]() ![]() Years ago I read an interview with David Muench in which he described his style as ‘black and white photography in colour’. ![]() Monochrome mode helps you take better colour photos. Underneath that is what I would see in monochrome mode. The colour version is what I would see on my camera’s screen if I set the Picture Style to Landscape. You can take it further by increasing the contrast or changing the colour filter settings (I’ll cover this below if you don’t know how to do this or why). This helps you see how the scene looks in monochrome. The benefit of switching to monochrome mode is that the camera displays your photos in black and white on the LCD screen. It takes time to learn how scenes that you are accustomed to viewing in colour translate to black and white. Seeing in black and white is an acquired skill. Monochrome mode helps you visualise in black and white. But there are still good reasons to switch your camera to monochrome mode for shooting in black and white. You will always get the best results in black and white by using the Raw format and converting your files to black in white in software like Photoshop, Lightroom or a plug-in like Silver Efex Pro 2. I want to make one thing clear before continuing. That has opened up black and white photography to many more photographers, which can only be a good thing. Some people still prefer chemical processes, but for the rest of us it means no more darkrooms and no more waiting to process film and make prints. Now, black and white is as accessible as switching to your camera’s monochrome mode. I remember wanting to try black and white, and print images in a darkroom, but living in a property with no spare space to build a darkroom meant that it was years before I was able to start learning to print. It was much harder back when I first became interested in photography. One of the benefits of digital photography that I really appreciate is the ease with which I can convert images to black and white. Gibson is the author of Mastering Photography: A Beginner’s Guide to Using Digital Cameras. While young Estella’s DIY punk aesthetic was inspired by German new wave singer Nina Hagen, it’s as the aspiring designer begins channeling her alter ego Cruella De Vil that we see the full embrace of black and white synonymous with the riotous villain.Andrew S. The star of Disney’s latest major picture, Cruella – the imagined prequel to De Vil’s story, which stars Emma Stone as a young Cruella (or Estella as we learn she was once called) and Emma Thompson as the Baroness, her cunning but oh-so-fabulous mentor – which launches today and, for those who know the story, the film’s wardrobe is throbbing with all manner of monochrome magic.Ĭruella director, Craig Gillespie, tapped two-time Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan to bring Estella and the Baroness’ fashions to life, which eventually involved a total of 47 costume changes for Cruella and 33 for the Baroness and evolved to be the largest project Beavan has worked on in her career. Cruella De Vil, the fabulously devious protagonist from Dodie Smith’s 1956 book, The One Hundred and One Dalmatians, is all set to become our unlikely summer style muse. ![]() ![]() Rahn is chairman of the Institute for Global Economic Growth and MCon LLC.Frequently Asked Questions What is a word search?Ī word search is a puzzle where there are rows of letters placed in the shape of a square, and there are words written forwards, backwards, horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Those institutions that continue to support wokeism and deny basic liberties will die. Rates of depression are soaring, particularly among young women of college age, and suicide rates are higher than they were a few decades ago.Ĭolleges are destroying themselves, and enrollments are falling - a market reaction against an overpriced, increasingly inferior education coupled with an oppressive environment. But now, in the Stasi college-campus era, students live in fear of saying something that may offend someone for expressing a non-approved opinion and then being blackballed or expelled. Crude comments and behavior rarely destroyed one’s future career (a point the film makes at the end). In the “Animal House” college-campus era, some students were subject to unkind comments - usually in jest - but most did not live in fear for acting as college students frequently do. (He never pressed charges, nor was it determined whether the very high crime of a coffee spill was an accident.) After being accused (but not convicted of anything) and being harassed by university officials, she killed herself. A negative report, even one based on false information, can result in a student losing a scholarship or even being expelled - negatively affecting the rest of his or her life.Ī particularly sad case took place last year at Stanford University, where an academically and athletically accomplished young woman was threatened with dismissal because she had allegedly poured coffee on a football player’s lap. (Remember Lenin’s old quip: “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”) Students are often unaware that negative reports have been filed on them, and constitutional due process protections are ignored at many colleges. Maxient brags about having a national repository that receives about 7,000 tattletale reports a day from 1,300 client institutions. Maxient is one company willing to maintain and share secret files on students. This is often well beyond the capability of most traditional school registrar’s offices, so they have turned to private contractors. Like the Stasi, colleges now wishing to keep detailed records on student behaviors require large databases. The communist intelligence services found many willing to staff the police state. Oppressive states and institutions need enforcers (like Gestapo and KGB officers) and slimy clerks to keep the records. Students are encouraged to provide anonymous reports on others: “He looked at my breasts in a suggestive way,” “She said the protection of private property was an important right,” “He made a racist statement in a bull session,” and so on. ![]() Concepts like innocent until proven guilty and due process are ignored. Speech is regulated to the absurd level of telling people which pronouns they may use. Real, free debate has been abolished in much of academia. The fact that communism has always failed is excused because those who tried to implement it made “mistakes that will be corrected next time.” Some advocates admit coercion will be necessary to force people to give up their hard-earned assets, and free expression will be curtailed to avoid allowing the people to be exposed to “impure racist and sexist thoughts.” All of this is justified for the “greater good.” Professors and others who have never directly experienced socialism and communism are indoctrinating students with utopian fantasies about how everyone could be equal if only capitalism were abolished. ![]() What I never anticipated was that years later, an enforced ideology would become the norm on many college campuses in the United States. I saw the horrors of the communist system up close. Subsequently, by the nature of the work I was doing, I led a couple of missions to communist Cuba in the 1970s and then was extensively involved in economic and political reform of the former communist systems in Hungary, Estonia, and particularly in Bulgaria, and then the Soviet Union in the 1980s and early 1990s. As luck would have it, I finished my undergraduate and graduate years when higher education was both useful (little indoctrination) and allowed free expression. ![]() ![]() ![]() Honda CMX500 Rebel (2017) - First Ride and Review.Honda CMX500 Rebel review (2017) | UK road test.Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird (1996-2007): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Review (2020).Honda Fireblade SP2 (2017) | Road test review.Honda CBR1000RR and SP 'Fireblade' (2017) - First Ride Video Review.Honda CBR1000RR and SP 'Fireblade' (2017) - First Ride Review.SPecial Brew - Honda Fireblade SP Long Term Loan Update (1,000 miles).▼ Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade (2017) | Long term reviews.Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP - TT Special Edition (2016).Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP (2014) UK test. ![]() Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade (2004-2007): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CBR900RR FireBlade (2002-2003): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CBR900RR Fireblade (2000-2001): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CBR900RR-R Urban Tiger (1994): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CBR600RR (2013): First full track test review!.Honda CBR600FS Sport (2001 � 2002): Buying Guide.Honda CBR500R and CB500F Review | BikeSocial.Honda CB1100 EX and CB1100 RS (2017) - first ride and review.Honda CB1100 EX (2017) - Real world test.Honda CB1100RS (2017-Current): Review & Buying Guide.Honda CB1000R Black Edition (2021) - Review.Honda CB650F and CBR650F - first ride and Review.Honda CB500X Rally Raid Review - Plugging the adventure gap.Honda CB500X (2016) - First UK Ride Review.The Honda CBR250RR also faces in-house competition from the CB250R and the CBR500R.
