Amidst a host of negative reviews, season three of The Bear seems to epitomize the promise of prestige television -- bigger stars, bigger budgets, and higher production quality. Season three is ambitious and challenging, and it doesn’t allow the limitations of the television medium to dictate how the stories it wants to tell should be told.

Many have likely browsed the internet long enough to have been fooled by an AI-generated image or two at some point. Text-to-image models like DALL·E , Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion have advanced enough that most people only have about a 50%-60% chance of discerning if an image is AI generated, and the odds aren’t improving - but are these models good enough to forego using human artists altogether? This article provides a comparative review of the various offerings of Midjourney.

Partially because of the pandemic, the world of art and museums is changing with the implementation of new technology and platforms. VOMA, or “Virtual Online Museum of Art,” is the first fully interactive virtual museum. This review discusses its pros and cons in the context of other recently created virtual museums.
Most museums only display about 5 % of their collection at any given time, while the rest of their collection locked away in vaults. One of the ways museum can share their hidden treasures is through their digital collection archive. Art UK is an excellent public digital archive that holds more than 200,000 paintings from the collections in United Kingdom that are not particularly accessible to the general public.

has the player assuming the role of a stage manager at a variety of different productions. The degree to which the player succeeds or fails at a series of mini games effects the show itself at the end of the scenario. This game was play tested on a IPad 1 for this review. Fun: (4 out of 5 stars) The game plays well. The characters are charmingly rendered and are well suited to the genre of performing arts that they represent. The music of the show in question plays on cheerfully in the background and was a highlight. There was a good sense of immediacy in the constituent games within each production and as such the overall sense of timing was well designed. The strategies involved in game play were pretty linear and as such may be better suited for a younger audience.
Playability: (4.5 out of 5 stars) The game is quick to learn and master. The constituent games are well suited to the touch interface. Each module within a show has enough different about it to keep most people engaged for hours.
Depth: (2.5 out of 5 stars) The app and the four shows yielded about six and a half hours of game play. The player has to unlock each show in order and can play individual modules in the score attack mode. For an adult player the replay factor is limited after the four show scenarios replay is probably quite a bit better for a younger audience.
Value: (4.5 out of 5 stars) For the price of $.99 this feels like a bargain.
Overall: (4 out of 5 stars) There are a lot of good things going for The Show Must Go On. This app is a fun and easy introduction to four famous shows. The music that plays with the game is lovely, even when played through iPad speakers. I highly recommend checking this app out for killing time during holiday travel, it worked well for me.
