This was no high-def reskin of Team Ico's (uh, I hate the word, but it earned it) seminal adventure of the PS2 era; no simple polishing up of the 2011 PS43 remaster that already possessed some pleasingly sharpened edges.
|
|
It's a pleasingly familiar site if you grew up on point-and-click games, but after playing for five hours, it's clear that Thimbleweed Park is more than just a classic-style adventure game that happens to be released in 2017.
|
|
The all-male cast is always in motion, wheeling and swaggering from story to story, or bursting into original (and pleasingly odd) songs about "Match of the Day", a football highlights programme, Steven Seagal or Kidderminster's reputation as a transport hub.
|
|
Restoration Hardware's Chesterfield-style sofa, or West Elm's Parsons table, or a handful of usual suspects from Ikea: those pleasingly plain kitchen cabinets; those rattan chairs; that Malm bed, whose austere low-slung minimalism conjures the ghost of Donald Judd.
|
|
Pete and Elliott, a computer-animated dragon with green fur, pleasingly leonine facial features, and an emotive noise vocabulary that borrows from both Scooby-Doo and Chewbacca, enjoy a hunky-dory forest life until the pair are discovered by nearby townspeople.
|
|
The works' alluring tactility, pleasingly contrasting tones, and slightly comical dimensions were consistent with her other recent sculptural experiments on view, including a deceptively hefty clothes hanger, a giant ceramic navel ring, and a spindly sculptural support for a thong.
|
|
When I arrived for coffee before she started work on a weekday morning, she was poring over scrapbooks on the wood floor of her pleasingly minimalist living room for a documentary film crew that had been shadowing her for a year.
|
|
Illustrated with photographs by the artist Patrice Casanova (a friend and neighbor), and her own pleasingly daft line drawings, it documents the maturing of her first chicks from the time they arrived, huddled in boxes, until they started laying eggs.
|
|
Each morning the musicians would arrive alongside the laptop-toting young employees of various start-ups and put in eight or so hours — a process that felt to the band, all of whom have children, pleasingly like a regular job.
|
|
This process of constantly sorting has the added advantage of inspiring new outfits such as the buttoned-up, gray vintage dress that she'd bought some five years ago and now pleasingly teams with a white shirt and Charlotte Olympia trainers.
|
|
Most of the videos have been perfectly pleasant (waves crashing on a shore for five seconds) and pleasingly perplexing (a woman being pulled on a carriage by five dogs, below), but a couple of viewers have reported running into softcore foot fetish videos.
|
|
How to play is pretty self-explanatory, but here are some tips if you're getting stuck: All in all, the game made me think that if the paperclip maximizer doomsday scenario does ever come to pass, it will, at least, be pleasingly ironic.
|
|
But what really sets the creamy formula apart is its hidden self-care component: The mask requires a little massage to do its thing (which pleasingly changes from the palest of lavender to a mint green color as you work your facial muscles).
|
|
As with the Charge HR, sleep tracking seems pleasingly accurate whether you're bedding down for the night or just catching a few winks in the afternoon, and it's comfortable to wear too (always a bonus if you've got it on in bed).
|
|
Deadpool's regenerative ability means he can be bashed and stabbed and dropped from buildings and chopped into bits, and he still keeps going — a pleasingly absurd extension of superheroes' notable ability to get knocked over and keep coming back, no matter the obstacle.
|
|
And I feel the same way about hearing a cover of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" in the trailer for The Evil Within 2, which was a standout moment of Bethesda's pleasingly to-the-point presser, which clocked in at under 40 minutes.
|
|
Perhaps reflecting Mr. Landis's Hollywood heritage, a number of recognizable performers, old and new, pop up in small parts — Casey Wilson, Kyle Bornheimer, Chris Hardwick, Haley Joel Osment (as himself) and, most pleasingly, Scott Bakula and Geena Davis as Brendan's solicitous parents.
|
|
I'm about three hours into Gravity Rush 2, so I'm not about to make a definitive statement on its complete qualities, on whether or not you should part with your hard-earned cash for a copy—but the reviews are pleasingly positive.
|
|
Founded in 1904, the store's leather shoes are entirely handmade in Portugal and the fitting service is pleasingly traditional, too: As in the annual school shoe fittings of childhood, staff members take their time ensuring a perfect fit in both width and length.
|
|
Right-o. The moment a character in a British novel craves country life, gleeful readers know what to expect: the doddering, besotted aristocrats; the grand old manor decaying; the local folk toothless perverts; even the animals not pleasingly pastoral but randy and repulsive.
|
|
La Grande Permission, that's what surrealism had given to Michaux, said the Belgian to Ashbery, — which sounds both vital and necessary and pleasingly vague — turning his face away as he spoke in order to avoid staring into too bright an interrogatory light.
|
|
The repercussions of this domestic drama are predictable, but at least they do lead to a delightful redemptive scene (one of the movie's few pleasingly dreamlike moments), when Barnum uses an elephant as a New York taxi to make an appointment on time.
|
|
The band was loose when it needed to be, backing D'Angelo as he vamped his way through an extended "Brown Sugar," and precise when it was called for, as when the Wu-Tang Clan spilled onto the stage for a pleasingly unruly half-hour.
|
|
If you're headed to Port Morris for an early afternoon brewery tour, you could stop on your way at the bustling Pitusa Bakery on 149th Street for a breakfast of toasted, melty sandwiches, black coffee and a slice of the pleasingly sticky tres leches.
|
|
The stylized illustrations by Nous Vous, a London-based collective of graphic designers, have a clean, retro feel and depict a pleasingly utopian view of modern urban life, with men and women of all colors driving buses, gliding on scooters and flying into outer space.
|
|
But not just any school — not some suburban John Hughes-style high school or generic Podunk U. No, it's loyalty to a selective school, with an antique pedigree but a modern claim to excellence, an exclusive admissions process but a pleasingly multicultural student body.
|
|
The show has barbed dialogue and a blind-item documentary interest in the lives of the ultra-wealthy, but at heart it's a pleasingly amoral caper series, a Wall Street fever dream, scored to ironic pop songs—more pulp than grit, with a streak of camp.
|
|
On Tuesday night, the installation artist Michael Theodore — who has a work showing at Harvestworks's location on Governors Island — opened with a pleasingly spacey half-hour set, filled with distorted, slowly ascending electric guitar motifs that he abstracted by means of a laptop (and assorted electronics).
|
|
Some plates look and sound like they might be ambitious to make at home, like fennel confit with kumquats and chiles; but most are as pleasingly simple to create as they are simply pleasing to the eye (slices of baby kiwi arranged artfully alongside dollops of burrata).
|
|
Alberto Giacometti's remarkable "Broche Sphinge" (circa 1935) has pleasingly mythical quality, and I found myself fascinated with Man Ray's "Boucle d'oreille, Pendentif pendant" (1970), at miniature of his "Lampshade (Abat-jour)" (1919/1954) kinetic sculpture hanging nearby, as well as his better known golden ass / inverted cross "Hommage" (1973).
|
|
The Hate: The Cavs are going to hatefuck the Pistons into oblivion so why should I care True, this battle of acid-rain rustbelt towns is probably going to be a lopsided bummer, but the Pistons are a frisky bunch, led by an equally frisky if pleasingly rotund coach.

Read more: "The Imagined Story Behind Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne,'" a fairy tale written exclusively for T. Housed in an elegant stone-facade building once owned by the 19th-century industrialist Andrew Frederick Gault, also known as the "cotton king of Canada," this 30-room boutique hotel is pleasingly minimalist.
|
|
Yet the near lack of imagination behind them, coupled with their abstract, pleasingly passive titles like "soft cake in the wind" and "to speak of anger, i will take care," underscore how ridiculous it is that our society is not only anesthetized to but continually produces these rote representations of womanhood.
|
|
Sun, who also illustrated Aliebn, renders his fictional characters in broad, thick strokes and pleasingly clean black and white, but the book deals with many of the more complex feelings that so many of us experience, ranging from imposter syndrome to existential dread to how frighteningly open-ended the creative process can be.

A multiple-award-winning brewer and native of the Hudson Valley, Kugeman makes CIA's two flagship beers—Mise en Place Wit, a Belgian-style witbier brewed with orange peel and coriander, and Cleaver IPA, a pleasingly aromatic dry-hopped IPA—along with rotating class-project recipes designed with the help of students.
|
|
This flavour is enhanced further by the inclusion of a small component of New Territories'-sourced honey in the brewing process, giving the beer agreeable floral notes, while the use of Fuggle, a revered hop and a mainstay of traditional British craft ales, lends it a pleasingly earthy and full-bodied flavour.
|

"Grey and Illuminate," in particular ("A little bit older now / A little bit bolder now") is wavy and goopy, but the real winner is "Shannon Rose," a glorious mess of a song that just wants to rush to the chorus and rock out in the most lip-curlingly, pleasingly middle-aged way possible.
|
|
At first, it will sell seeds for the Badger Flame; three varieties of squash (including one that announces its ripeness on the vine by changing from dark green to a rusty orange); a small, creamy potato; a pleasingly bitter cucumber; and a floral-tasting habanero pepper without even a pinprick of heat.
|
|
Vulture's TV and film critic Matt Zoller Seitz agreed that the show was better off without a host writing, "once the show started handing out awards — the action that movie buffs, star-watchers, and gamblers had tuned in to see — the telecast settled into a pleasingly laid-back groove and never left it."
|
|
But work your way up the pricing scale — and onto the websites of artists and individuals who make brooms by hand — and you'll find gangly brooms made from found wood, pleasingly curved hand brooms made from ash and horsehair, thick palm brooms imported from Japan, and classic Shaker brooms with gleaming, octagonal walnut handles.
|
|
It's a pleasingly human irony—he may lead a revolutionary team, but Kerr still finds comfort in the sounds of an era when musicians with relief-pitcher goatees and burlap hats gave voice to the needs and frustrations of other men with similar facial hair by making guttural keening sounds and taking unhurried guitar solos.
|
|
A "pho short rib grilled cheese" smacks of gimmickry—though I had a hard time arguing, one recent evening, with the juicy shreds of meat and provolone sandwiched in incredibly buttery griddled slices of Pullman loaf, and was ultimately won over by the accompanying shooter of hot, fragrant beef broth, pleasingly heavy on star anise.

A NEEO Remote isn't necessary for the system to work – you can just use the Brain along with the companion app for iPhone or Android, but the remote is a joy to hold and use, thanks to its unique design, and it features a super high density display that's extremely responsive to touch input and pleasingly responsive to touch.

Photograph by Eric Helgas for The New Yorker I can't imagine a dish more pleasingly playful than a "lasagna" that turns out to be a single artichoke, trimmed of its woody outer leaves, turned upside down, and dressed in petticoats of bright-green noodles, crisped at their edges and hiding fluffy béchamel beneath them like tulle.
|
|
Most pleasingly, Hausmann also focused his camera on the women around him, taking numerous nude shots of them on the radiant beach, such as in the gorgeous "Nu sur la Plage" (Nude on the Beach, circa 25–19443) and the erotically-charged "Deux nus Féminins Allongés sur une Plage" (Two Female Nudes Lying on a Beach, circa 21944–21).
|
|
That's despite its many fine performances; its musicians, as tight a band as the gang at last season's "Bright Star" ever was, bringing life and depth to Roger Miller's pleasingly old-school country tunes; and Ms. deBessonet's clear staging, on an elegantly simple set (by Allen Moyer) that serves the pared-down purposes of this concert production.
|
|
Punchy, serious, comical, outlandish, Judd talks with drive and steely forthrightness about art, society, bad behavior, the undesirability of talking about one's own work, the utter uselessness of the Museum of Modern Art back then (but what would you think of it now, Donald?), and a great deal more in this pleasingly unpredictable, 235-page gathering of unbridled views.
|
|
At Miles, as at so many of Bordeaux's neo bistros, a rotating multicourse tasting menu is served from a small open kitchen: pleasingly avant-garde concoctions like hazelnut oil confit egg yolk with smoked chestnut purée and raw mushrooms, or sous vide monkfish with miso-roasted eggplant, mussel foam and a gremolata of coconut, coriander and lime.
|
|
When he revs his mumble into a yell and slams down with thin, crunchy shards of guitar static splintering every which way, the band rouses, especially on "Vincent," whose echoey single-string intro sets up an increasingly frantic and jubilant song, and the latter half of "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales," when he goes overboard, pleasingly, with the moaning.
|
|
Photograph by Kyoko Hamada for The New Yorker On a recent evening, there were oily, pleasingly gummy Cantabrian anchovies, laid atop half a disk of vanilla compound butter, a weirdly winning briny-sweet combination; raw-scallop tacos, made with fragrant shiso leaves in place of tortillas; and a tangle of warm squid tentacles and Romano beans, tossed with cubed potato in salsa verde and pine nuts.
|
|
Photograph by Zachary Zavislak for The New Yorker Extra-long, skinny spring rolls were expertly fried, filled with a nicely balanced mixture of slick sautéed shiitake mushrooms and julienned carrots, and topped with pleasingly peppery micro mint, but enormous, craggy corn fritters, which multiple servers pushed hard, were saturated with an unholy amount of coconut oil, a thrill until they cooled and began to seem dangerous.
|
|
One of those new songs was "Let's Find an Out," for which a studio version has been released today (hear it above.) The track basically puts all of the great things about Snail Mail as a project on display: it features Jordan's extremely accomplished guitar playing, and her extremely affecting singing voice at its most raw, and it's also a great example of how the full band format encourages her musical creations to grow and swell really pleasingly.

He delivers the story of Bruce — in digestibly short chapters — via an informally steadfast Jersey plainspeak that's worked and deftly detailed and intimate with its readers — cleareyed enough to say what it means when it has hard stories to tell, yet supple enough to rise to occasions requiring eloquence — sometimes rather pleasingly subsiding into the syntax and rhythms of a Bruce Springsteen song: "So we all made do," he writes about his parents' abrupt move from Freehold to California, in 1969, leaving him behind.

Consider the verbal game of chicken we've played with the people all this affects: Fat people went from being called fat (which is mean) to being called overweight (a polite-seeming euphemism that either accidentally or not accidentally implies that there is a standard weight) to being called zaftig/chubby/pleasingly plump (just don't) to curvy (which seems to imbue size with a sexuality and optimism where it should just be sexually and emotionally neutral) and back to fat (because it's only your judgment of fat people that made it a bad word in the first place, and maybe being fat isn't as bad as we've been made to believe).
