![]() Barbie pink tweed short shorts, bustiers and minidresses were made for the “90210” set, while filmy chiffon dresses in bold camellia prints and lace layers had a bohemian flair. The looks cross-referenced the decades, too. Harking back to her roots as a costume designer, perhaps, Viard (and the show soundtrack) conjured a range of screen characters, including Faye Dunaway’s Evelyn Cross in 1930s-set “Chinatown” (1974), Sharon Tate’s Jennifer North in “Valley of the Dolls” (1967), Margot Robbie’s ‘60s-era Sharon Tate in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019), Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde” (2001) and many more. Models walked out to Jerry Goldsmith’s provocative opening song from 1992 noir film “Basic Instinct,” not in Mademoiselle’s LBDs, but in Hollywood glam-gone-to-the-gym.Ĭrystal-edged dolphin shorts, crop tops and star- and comet-embroidered high-cut leotards were next-gen eveningwear pieces, echoing the daring red-carpet looks worn by Stewart to the 2022 Oscars (Chanel) and Kendall Jenner to last month’s Met Gala (Marc Jacobs “in honor of Karl.”) “From John Travolta to Jane Fonda, so many actresses, the body, the gym, aerobics,” Viard said of the inspiration for the resort collection. The film backdrop featured soaring views of palm trees, the Los Angeles skyline and the beach, before the camera zeroed in on French actress and Chanel ambassador Alma Jodorowsky pumping dumbbells with perfect bouncy waves in her hair, a reminder of the “no pain, no gain” mentality of the Hollywood dream factory. The runway set was dominated by an enormous movie screen on the side of a building near the iconic Paramount water tower, with a painted wood floor that turned into a roller rink for the after party. Inside, the brand had created the kind of Instagrammable experience expected of runway shows today, with neon signs, food trucks serving everything from burgers to beignets, and roller skaters weaving through cocktail chatter. “We’re just working with Paramount to use the space,” Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, told WWD, noting that the deal to rent the location was struck months ago.īy sunset, just a couple of strikers lingered as black cars full of celebrities (Margot Robbie, Kristen Stewart, Elle Fanning and more) entered the famous gates like Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert and so many of the clients of Chanel before them did in the Golden Age. But Chanel made it clear it has no part in the dispute. Hollywood is in its second week of the action, which has brought nearly all production to a standstill. The French luxury brand staged its 2024 resort show at the historic studio where members of the Writers Guild had been striking earlier in the day. And on Tuesday night, she returned - in spirit at least - to Paramount. ![]() ![]() Coco Chanel first came to Hollywood in 1931, invited by Samuel Goldwyn to add glamour to the flagging film industry by creating costumes for his United Artists Studio. ![]() Morrow - Ultra-Humanite - Ultraman - Vandal SavageĪlexander Luthor - Ambush Bug - Black Lightning - Booster Gold - Captain Atom - Fire - Etrigan the Demon - Oracle - R.E.E.S.E. first appeared in Superman Family #205 (January 1981)Īquaman - The Atom - Batman - Big Barda - Black Canary - Cyborg - Firestorm - Flash (Barry Allen) - Flash (Wally West) - Green Arrow - Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) - Green Lantern (Guy Gardner) - Green Lantern (John Stewart) - Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) - Hawkgirl - Martian Manhunter - Mister Miracle - Orion - Plastic Man - Red Tornado - Superman - Wonder Woman - Zatanna ZataraĪmazo - Anti-Monitor - Brainiac - Brother Eye - Calculator - Darkseid - Despero - Doctor Light - Doomsday - Eclipso - Felix Faust - Gorilla Grodd - Joker - Johnny Quick - Lex Luthor - Mongul - Owlman - Queen Bee - Red Death - Starro - Superwoman - The Batman Who Laughs - The Drowned - The Merciless - T.O.

To gain levels efficiently, it's not enough to simply shoot or slice upon sight. Its long-term appeal hinges on its rewarding progression system, which advances your abilities based on your moment-to-moment accomplishments. Just because you can get away with instinctively killing anything that moves does not mean Killing Floor 2 is bereft of depth. Instead, you have to use your imagination to piece things together, which is a valid approach for a production that primarily focuses on the urgency of each oncoming wave of Zeds. It's a credit to the environmental art designers that the pervasive sights and scenes of ruin makes one wish for more exposition, to learn how the outbreak unfolded. At least Killing Floor 2's generic death-metal soundtrack matches this locale's hellish vibe. The only map that feels out of place is the Infernal Realm, a gothic underworld dungeon. Evacuation Zone is fortified with concrete barriers and barbed wire, while Burning Paris shows an iconic metropolis in ruins. Farmhouse, for instance, features an open field where you can see Zeds coming from every direction-the catch is that Zeds indeed come from every direction.Ī couple of distinctly European maps infer the spread of the outbreak. Whether you're fending for your life in a prison or a dilapidated lab, each layout presents tactical benefits and challenges. You're not tasked with defending a specific spot (only your team), which means the main skirmish will likely move around the map over time depending where the boss-grade Zeds come from. While Killing Floor 2's wave-based combat is conceptually reminiscent of Halo's Firefight and Gears of War's Horde modes, the flow of a match is more analogous to Battlefield or Call of Duty. ![]() And while its 12 maps are short on objectives and destinations, the drive to stay alive is enough to keep you invested in the action and immerses you in a deep character progression system, which makes your fight consistently enjoyable, especially if you play with teams you can rely on. Staying alive is simply a matter of fending off the undead using whatever weapons you have on hand while effectively managing the space around you. Yet what it delivers, it does well-namely, uncomplicated, arcade-style zombie shootouts. There are even new titles that can only be purchased through this popular gaming chain since they themselves are the ones who published them! Here are 25 crazy video game products that only GameStop is offering along with their respective price tags that are at times ridiculously overpriced.As a survival shooter with only two modes, Killing Floor 2 is naturally short on gameplay variety. Some limited edition games, consoles and collectible merchandise can only be obtained through GameStop. This meant that if players wanted that shiny new collector's edition game or a physical copy of a digital game, they would have to find their nearest GameStop branch. However, some games can only be found exclusively in gaming merchandise giant GameStop. Most video games are regularly available in retail stores such as Target, Best Buy, or even at the nearest Five Below discount bin. Since that's the case, then what is keeping gamers from buying their favorite game titles? Here is where store-exclusive games come into the picture.

![]() Human reviewers apply guidelines that OpenAI's models then generalize from. ![]() Humans evaluate ChatGPT's initial results in a process called finetuning. Repeating over and over can lead to a sophisticated ability to generate text. For example, the training process can find a random paragraph of text, delete a few words, ask the AI to fill in the blanks, compare the result to the original and then reward the AI system for coming as close as possible. They're trained to create text based on what they've seen, and they can be trained automatically - typically with huge quantities of computer power over a period of weeks. ![]() GPT-3, and the GPT 3.5 update on which ChatGPT is based, are examples of AI technology called large language models. It's made splashes before, first with GPT-3, which can generate text that can sound like a human wrote it, and then with DALL-E, which creates what's now called "generative art" based on text prompts you type in. "OpenAI has managed to pull together the most talent-dense researchers and engineers in the field of AI," he also said in a January talk. OpenAI has 375 employees, Altman tweeted in January. Its mission is to develop a "safe and beneficial" artificial general intelligence system or to help others do so. Who built ChatGPT and how does it work?ĬhatGPT is the brainchild of OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company. One doctor says he's used it to persuade a health insurance company to pay for a patient's procedure. We'll talk more about that below.ĬNET writer David Lumb has put together a list of some useful ways ChatGPT can help, but more keep cropping up. Some have even proclaimed "Google is dead," along with the college essay. Twitter is awash with users displaying the AI's prowess at generating art prompts and writing code. You don't have to look far to find accounts of the bot blowing people's minds. In general, being genuine and authentic in your interactions with others is likely to be more effective in getting a date than trying to fit a certain mold or persona." When I asked, "Is it easier to get a date by being sensitive or being tough?" GPT responded, in part, "Some people may find a sensitive person more attractive and appealing, while others may be drawn to a tough and assertive individual. (Also, there are a lot more good rhymes for "pink.") When I asked it for words that rhymed with "purple," it offered a few suggestions, then when I followed up "How about with pink?" it didn't miss a beat. One wacky example shows how ChatGPT is willing to just go for it in domains where people would fear to tread: a command to write " a folk song about writing a rust program and fighting with lifetime errors."ĬhatGPT's expertise is broad, and its ability to follow a conversation is notable. I then asked it to make it more exciting, and lo, ChatGPT pumped it up with words like battlefield, adrenaline, thunder and adventure. I asked it to write a poem, and it did, though I don't think any literature experts would be impressed. That's the famous "Imitation Game" that computer scientist Alan Turing proposed in 1950 as a way to gauge intelligence: Can a human conversing with a human and with a computer tell which is which? The answers you get may sound plausible and even authoritative, but they might well be entirely wrong, as OpenAI warns.Ĭhatbots have been of interest for years to companies looking for ways to help customers get what they need and to AI researchers trying to tackle the Turing Test. It's an AI that's trained to recognize patterns in vast swaths of text harvested from the internet, then further trained with human assistance to deliver more useful, better dialog. ![]() Here's the catch: ChatGPT doesn't exactly know anything. For example, you can ask it encyclopedia questions like, "Explain Newton's laws of motion." You can tell it, "Write me a poem," and when it does, say, "Now make it more exciting." You ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word. ![]() So, ask for permission from the original creators and credit them for any video you upload.

The plan was to create an entirely new game incorporating Cube 's simplicity and movement style in a more realistic environment. The first official release was in November 2006. Hunt The Flag (Known as VIP in other games)ĪssaultCube started out as ActionCube in July 2004 by a few members of the Cube community.Keep The Flag and Team Keep The Flag (Find the flag and keep it as long as you can).Pistol Frenzy (Pistols, knives, and grenades only) and Team Pistol Frenzy.Survivor and Team Survivor (Teams fight until opposing team is eliminated).Last Swiss Standing (Knives and grenades only) and Team Last Swiss Standing.One Shot One Kill and Team One Shot One Kill (Fight with no pickups and 1 hp with only sniper rifle and knife).Deathmatch (Known as Free-For-All in other games)and Team Deathmatch.Game modesĪssaultCube has fourteen different gamemodes excluding bot game modes and the in-game level editor: This feature was inherited from Cube, though it was absent in the original release of AssaultCube.ĪssaultCube's weapons are all fictional and fill the basic niches of a modern first-person shooter: the assault rifle, sub-machine gun, sniper rifle, carbine, shotgun, pistol and knife. This was also included intentionally, allowing players to achieve faster movement and jump higher. This was left intentionally unfixed by the developers because it was considered an enjoyable feature of Cube, similar to bunny hopping in Quake.Īnother feature of the game is the potential for using the recoil of the weapons (which pushes one backwards) to reach and perform moves that were previously impossible. There are two different teams in AssaultCube, called the "Cubers Liberations Army" (CLA) and the "Rabid Viper Special Forces" (RVSF).ĪssaultCube retains a movement bug from the original Cube engine that allows players to utilize straferunning to move at a faster speed. In comparison to other games, AssaultCube is slower than Quake but faster than Counter-Strike. But if you wish to redistribute/use/modify it in a different way you will need to adhere to the licenses for the packages that you are using.AssaultCube was designed to be more realistic and team-oriented than Cube while keeping Cube 's distinctive fast-paced gameplay. The ENTIRE AssaultCube package MAY be redistributed as mentioned above. This game consists of many different packages with different licenses. zip/tgz/rpm/deb/dmg), any changes beyond that require explicit permission.ĪssaultCube is distributed WITHOUT WARRANTY, you may use it for any purpose as long as you do not blame us for any damages incurred.

Unroll a package of the crescent rolls and cut each triangle in half. The box has about 8 triangles, so you’ll end up with 32 pieces from 2 packages. But make sure the dough is not coming directly from the fridge.įill each piece of dough with a tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese filling. Then, bring the sides of the filling together to make a slight ball shape. Place your Donkey Balls on a pre-prepared cookie sheet and bake for about 14 minutes at 375 □F in a preheated oven until the crescent rolls are golden brown.Īdditionally, you can make an egg wash to brush the tops of the Donkey Balls just before they go into the oven. It will give them a beautiful golden color. For that, mix 2 tablespoons of water and egg. Then, once they come out of the oven, you can brush your meaty balls with some butter for a nice shine and a salty crust. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve with your favorite sauce. The other thing about these delicious Donkey Balls is that they are super versatile. You can change the filling to suit your palate or add dried herbs like mint or rosemary to the dough to amplify the flavors.īesides, a variety of meats work well as Donkey Balls filling: spicy Italian sausage, ham, salami, or mortadella. Try these tasty substitutes, and you won’t be disappointed. Mascarpone is an Italian cheese made with heavy cream with tartaric and citric acid. It is also a high-fat variety of cream cheese with a similar texture and taste. That’s why it makes an excellent substitute for cream cheese. However, it is slightly sweet and has twice the amount of fat. Apart from that, both pieces of cheese are used pretty much interchangeably. You can also try to add a dash of salt and a spritz of lemon juice for the same tangy taste. Just use the same amount of mascarpone as you would for cream cheese. Minced chicken or turkeyĪny other meat like minced chicken or turkey is an excellent substitute if you don’t have any sausages for this Donkey Balls recipe. If you season it with garlic, salt, pepper, and some fennel, you might get a better taste than traditional sausage. Besides, minced chicken and turkey could be found in any store. Just note that you might need to cook it in a skillet for a little longer than the sausages. "Now look underneath the donkeys balls, and between his two front legs." The husband does just that.These flavorful, meaty, and cheesy Donkey Balls work wonders with various dipping sauces. Again the husband does as he is instructed. "Now, slowly lift the donkey's balls", he continues. ![]() "Now reach down and take them into your hand." Hesitantly the husband does as he is instructed, after all, this could prove to be an enlightening experience. "Certainly," the elderly man replies motioning for the couple to come closer. "Please show me how you can tell the time simply by lifting this donkey's balls!" The couple return to the old man for the time.Īgain the elderly man lifts the donkey's balls and says, "It is now 4:45."īy this time the husband is completely amazed. After doing some shopping and grabbing a bite to eat. "Thank you" replies the wife in a surprised voice. "Absolutely", replies the elderly man, and with that he reaches down and lifts the donkey's balls. "Excuse me," the husband says, "could you tell us the time?" After a few unsuccessful attempts to find an english speaking local, the couple finally finds an elderly man sitting quietly on the street with his donkey. While shopping in a small village, the wife asks her husband what time it was, and looking down at his wrist the man realized he had left his watch in the motel room.
