Mondo Guerra's Take on 'Project Runway': From Textiles to Tears
The "All Stars" champ critiques the designs and the shocking double elimination.
Prints are my passion, so each season I look forward to seeing what the contestants whip up for the HP + Intel textile challenge. For some designers prints are a piece of cake while for others, they're a recipe for disaster.
With the fashion week finish line within sight, the competition turned from textiles to tears this week with a shocking double elimination.
Let's recap, shall we?
In the Workroom
Tim Gunn and HP's Rob Le Bras-Brown introduced seven new generation innovators who served as the core inspiration for the challenge. After some help from the trusty button bag, the designers set off to get to know their muses so they could create their textiles.

Back at Parsons the next day, Helen's insecurity about her print had her asking the other designers for their opinions. But with the pressure of the competition nearing its peak, they weren't exactly happy to help.
Across the workroom, Tim said he was "perplexed" and didn't get Bradon's concept of a bomber jacket paired with a floor length skirt. Time for Plan B. Meanwhile, Alexander stuck by his design despite Tim's critique that it was reading "clerical." He better pray for a miracle.
Dom, on the other hand, took to the challenge like a duck to water. Her love of prints put her in a happy place and she was eager to show the judges what she could do.
On the Runway
Fashion designer Peter Som joined the judging panel this week.
Bradon, Dom and Helen's prints earned them the top spots and Alexandria was safe, leaving Alexander, Justin and Kate in danger of elimination.

The report's critics might have spared themselves the bother of getting so worked up over it if they had paid more attention to the modest intentions expressed in the introduction by author/project director András Szántó: "The visual arts have experienced a period of dynamic growth and professionalization over the past two decades in the United States... The findings of this unprecedented survey suggest that although art critics have carved out an important role at many publications, on the whole criticism has been struggling to keep up with the swift evolution of the art world."
I came away from The Visual Art Critic with a better understanding of who writes about art in America and how we approach our work. But the best commentary in the report comes, I think, from people who aren't critics themselves, including curators and academics.
The University of California's Svetlana Alpers, a professor emeritus in art history, writes, for instance: "I read newspaper art criticism for essentially two reasons: 1) to find out what there is to go and look at; and 2) to get a considered take on what that art is like, what its nature and concerns are, and how good, or even bad, it is. The first reason is practical, the second is critical."
That's as concise a characterization of mainstream art criticism as anything else I've run across.

BARRIE - It didn't take long for Tammy Lawless to realize she was homeless after a fire last Thursday morning.
But the Barrie woman didn't know where to turn for help.
She stayed with a friend the rest of the morning, and was unsure where her family would sleep later that day.
She had paid for content insurance, but hadn't updated the company when she moved to 279 Livingstone St. W., so the company hadn't approved the claim.
The Advance told Lawless she could turn to the Salvation Army, which gave her a hotel voucher for the night.
"They were also asked to come in and see our family services director on Friday," said the Sally Ann's Major Roy Randall.
He said the Salvation Army arranges for up to a week in a hotel room, meals, some clothing and basic toiletries for families in an emergency.
Randall said he was a bit surprised to hear firefighters may not have told Lawless she could turn to the Salvation Army.
"This is the second time I've heard about this, and I'm kind of surprised."
He said during the John McNabb Clothier fire last month, the tenants were standing around in a daze.
"Nobody took the initiative to send them a block away to our door," said Randall.
He said someone working at the shelter that night "wandered over" and got them set up with accommodation for the night.
"The night of the Five Points fire, Mayor Dave Aspden called me personally. He woke me up and asked if I could come help."
Barrie Fire Chief John Lynn said the local service has agreements with both the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. "And if people have house insurance, normally their insurance company makes arrangements for the family," said Lynn.
He said the Canadian Red Cross gave a presentation to the fire department last week about their agreement.
And if the Salvation Army wasn't notified of the Livingstone Street fire last week, it doesn't mean firefighters weren't helping out, said Lynn.
"We try to assist as much as possible, but without being callous, it's not really our responsibility," he said.
"In most instances, the victims have made arrangements themselves to stay with family or friends."
On Wednesday, Lawless was still waiting to hear back from her insurance company.
But after reading the story in Tuesday's Advance, several residents came forward and offered to help.
Not only does Lawless have an 18-month old daughter, but she is expecting another child later this year.
"We have toddler beds, clothes, an exersaucer and baby swing," said Scott Verhoeven. "We are more than willing to donate it."
With two small boys, he said quite frankly the basement was full of baby items that aren't being used. "We were going to give it to a needy family, and why wouldn't we offer it to her? We want to do anything we can to help. It's goodwill and it's good karma."
In the meantime, Lawless' mother has set up a trust account on her behalf. It's at the Bank of Montreal, and the account number is 0389 8981-645.
Residents are also welcome to make donations in general to the Salvation Army to replenish their emergency supplies. People can bring toiletries, clothing, baby supplies, or cash. The Salvation Army is at 16 Bayfield St.

"Socially Conscious" Restaurant

I'm looking for a "socially conscious" restaurant (good labor policies, green practices, local food, etc.) for an informal business get together dinner for a group of about 25 activist-minded/progressive people. Our budget is around $35-45 per person, with slight flexibility. The dinner would be sit down, three courses. Any type of cuisine is fine-though a range is always nice. A restaurant that can do a prix fixe menu for groups would be great. Ideally we'd like a private room, but two big tables in a quiet corner would work as well. We don't need something extremely fancy but good food is always a plus!
I really appreciate any leads-I've been having a hard time coming up with anything!

My guess is that you're having a hard time finding an appropriate restaurant because of your budgetary constraints. Blue Hill immediately comes to mind and would certainly fit the socially conscious guidelines you've set forth, but you'd never be able to do it on that budget. At the moment, I can't think of anyplace else, but if I do, I'll post again.

re: bosun
Wouldn't Del Posto's Enoteca be equally as "green"? I've not been to either, but if it would, from what I gather, the cost might fit the budget.
How about Angelica Kitchen? I've never tried it, but there are Hounds who like it. I've looked at their website, and their philosophy certainly fits the socially conscious concept. It is vegan, so the group would have to be happy with that style of cooking. Also, there is the question of whether the restaurant is big enough to accommodate a large group.
i've not been, but recently read about Cookshop on the west side. unsure of the deliciousness or their labor practices, but generally seems to fit the overall philosophy.

If you've got a lot of controllers and a lot of friends, these past couple years have been tailor-made for you. Between games like Towerfall (great), Samurai Gunn (great), Super Smash Bros for Wii U (okay), Divekick (bad), [also Gang Beasts and Sportsfriends, thanks Patrick!] and today's subject Nidhogg, couch multiplayer (also known as "min-esports," thanks Brad Shoemaker) is back in a really big way.
For my money, Nidhogg is your best bet. It's only 15 dollars, there's online multiplayer, and the core is so engaging that anybody could easily pick it up and have a good time. That describes a lot of these new local multiplayer indies, to be fair, but Nidhogg is so tightly crafted that it makes everything else look foolish in comparison.
(My winning streak remains unbroken, FYI)
view full story + commentsThe derelict building was a sanctuary, a place to gather supplies and take shelter from the horrors of the outside world. I moved from one chamber to the next, anxiously investigating the structure, sighing in relief upon clearing the final alcove. No hostiles. It was safe. Or so I thought.
It charged through the door the moment I lowered my guard, almost as though it was reading my mind, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I attempted to defend myself, but it was too late. The hulking abomination had me cornered and wasted no time running me down.
This is the cruel world of Noct, a nightmarish landscape from the mind of Chris Eskins.
view full story + commentsWhenever you're having a rough day, there's nothing better than sitting down and putting on a game that makes you happy just to play it. Something that makes you laugh and smile, helps to relieve stress, or gets you to stop worrying about things for a bit. For some, this might be their favorite game. For others, it's more of a comfort game. Nevertheless, everyone has at least one game that makes them happy.
So, which video game makes you the happiest? Here's what our staff had to say:
view full story + commentsEvolve will launch with twelve hunters: eight men, three women, and a robot, though it's referred to as a "he." Of the three female characters, two are medics (Val and Caira) and the other (Maggie) is a trapper. There are currently no female assault or support class characters.
That could certainly change in the future. The asymmetric shooter's season pass contains an additional four hunters. As it stands, though, three-fourths of the cast are men, a ratio sure to disappoint some. Others may be surprised to learn there are any female characters at all.
The topic came up in an interview I conducted with Evolve creative director Phil Robb late last year. Speaking at developer Turtle Rock Studios' office in Lake Forest, CA, Robb told me "there was no political agenda" behind the uneven gender distribution. "It wasn't a planned thing," he added.
Robb went on to describe a fluid design process, one driven by "what feels right."
view full story + commentsExperience Points is a series in which I highlight some of the most memorable things about a particular game. These can include anything from a specific scene or moment, a character, a weapon or item, a level or location, a part of the soundtrack, a gameplay mechanic, a line of dialogue, or anything else about the game that is particularly noteworthy and/or awesome.
This series will no doubt contain spoilers for the games being discussed, so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the game for the first time.
This entry is all about EarthBound, one of my favorite games of all time. Feel free to share some of your own favorite things about the game in the comments!
view full story + commentsNetflix is reportedly making a live-action television series based on The Legend of Zelda.
The news immediately sent the country, nay the world into mass hysteria. Some folks expressed unfettered glee. Others were upset, their minds drifting back to 1993 with repressed memories of the Super Mario Bros. movie seeping up through the floorboards of their tortured psyches.
Anyway, let's suppose it's true. Such a production will need a cast. Let's put together another one.
view full story + commentsI'm sure you've heard the bizarre news. Netflix is working on a live-action The Legend of Zelda series that is described as, "Game of Thrones for a family audience," which is kind of like if Breaking Bad was about Peanuts characters in a lemonade stand competition.
I think Netflix is missing a huge opportunity to take J. K. Rowlings' Game of Thrones style--nudity and blood and tits--and present an aging Nintendo fanbase with a gritty re-imagining of the universe, but I'll respect Netflix's direction and cast a Legend of Zelda series where throne ascendancy disputes get solved like the time on Fresh Prince where it turns out Uncle Phil is really good at billiards.
Not everything on television can be mature content for grown ups about dragons and skeletons, after all.
Here's my dream cast!

[Update: We've gotten a lot of great entries in the gif contest! It seemed a shame to leave them out in the cold, so I've embedded the animations that never made it to the comments into the post below. I also forgot to tell you when the contest would be over. We'll stop taking entries whenever the next episode of Samus and Sagat comes out, which with any luck will be just in time for Valentine's Day. And yes, we have something special planned for that weekend. Just you wait.]
A lot of you told me that you really liked Samus and Sagat episode one. Thank you so much! Even more of you told me that you almost didn't watch the show at all because you thought it was a cartoon. Sorry about that!
To be 100% clear, Samus and Sagat is a live-action fake sitcom about Metroid's Samus Aran (Maddy Myers) and Street Fighter's Sagat (me) living as roommates. That said, we try to incorporate animation into things when we can.
Luckily, we had a really good excuse to use some fake videogame graphics in this episode. This one is about the differences between being a videogame starlet and an older, well known but not particularly popular side character from an ensemble cast. Imagine a conversation between Chun-Li and Waluigi about where their careers are going. It's like that.
Crap, now I wish I had made that show instead. Maybe next time.

Today, Atlus gave us our first look at Persona 5 in motion, and hot damn does it look amazing. We've been watching and rewatching the debut gameplay trailer all day. It's like a train wreck. You can't look away. Except unlike a train wreck it's glorious and beautiful and I love it. Anyway, we've noticed some things about the new game and have decided to share our thoughts.

You asked for this. I take no responsibility for my actions. None at all. Back, you goblins! Back!
view full story + commentsWhen people say "educational game" I instinctively clench up. I was raised in the heyday of Canadian educational software, with all the impenetrable geography-teaching trucking simulators and embarrassingly stilted STD/drug awareness adventure games you could ever stand to play. But Mecha Trigger, developed by the game design and development specialization at Michigan State University is a different breed of learning-game.
It glides in stealth bomber style, undetected by the alarm systems and internal klaxons that normally weed out Mavis Beacon and her ilk by dressing up its lesson-work under the guise of giant robots blowing the shit out of each other.
As far as disguises go, it's hard to do better.
view full story + commentsIn my heart of hearts, Nintendo Power will never die. If you were an American Nintendo gamer in the late '80s to early '90s, this monthly rag granted you unfettered access to a world of insider news and gossip that made you the envy of every schoolyard game jockey. The magazine itself may be gone, but its legacy is immortal.
Over the course of nearly 25 years, a number of features and events inside and outside the pages of Power became legendary -- the Super Mario and A Link to the Past comics, the Star Fox 64 promotional VHS, EarthBound's literally stinky ad campaign. But among the most infamous was the ill-fated The Mask II Player's Poll Contest.
In Vol. 77, published in October 1995, Nintendo offered one lucky winner a spot as an extra in the sequel to the smash hit action comedy The Mask. Production on the movie was halted indefinitely after Jim Carrey declined to reprise his role, which also meant that whoever won the contest was boned. The Nintendo Power editorial staff did eventually deliver a public apology... in the final issue. What happened in the 17 intervening years? Was the winner awarded an appropriate consolation prize, or did the Big N leave the kid high and dry?
Well, why don't I just ask him directly?
view full story + commentsIs it because you know the game? Or is it because you saw a skeleton on the cover? Either way it's all the same, because this is another Hot Take! Today, we're grabbing our scythes and diving into the wacky world of Grim Fandango Remastered for PlayStation 4.
Now, I was, how you say, "three years old" when this game came out, so I don't quite have the same amount of reverence you folks might have for this beloved LucasArts title. So, from a fresh young'un's perspective, I can sort of see why people remember Grim Fandango so fondly. The parts of it that aren't a videogame (like the visuals or the writing) are endlessly memorable, but the puzzles...hoo boy. You'll see what I mean.
