Sea-Tac Airport levels up with retro gaming lounge
Why it matters: Waiting in airports can be a drag, but the new addition at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport could make layovers and delays something to look forward to: a chance to kill time playing classics like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and Ms. Pac-Man.
The big picture: Sky Gamerz co-founders H. Lamar Willis and Jonathan Ford chose to make Sea-Tac the site of their first airport gaming lounge, owing to Seattle's cred as a hub in the gaming world, they said in a Port of Seattle news release.
A second gaming lounge is slated for Atlanta, per the port.
What they're saying:"Tens of millions of people are playing and buying video games every year, and the number keeps growing," said Willis.
How it works: Simply trade in your ID for a loaner game cartridge to play in one of the retro gaming stations found in the family-friendly side of the lounge.

My Favorite Airbnb Experience: In the Studio with Designer Cynthia Rowley
While I attended the inaugural version of the experience, the execution was confident and complete. More importantly, it avoided the polished artifice that often comes with more scene-y events. While, of course, there's a chance to buy hot picks off the racks from the store post-shoot (with special discounts to boot), there were no speeches, no product pushes, and no illusion of exclusivity. Instead, it was almost a soft opening into a designer's real, working life—structured enough to feel intentional, but loose enough to let authentic conversations emerge. (The best part? Bonding with Rowley as if she were a long-time friend.) In a city that's defined by its pace, Rowley's new experience with Airbnb offers something distinctly rare in Manhattan's fashion scene: the chance to slow down and see how designs actually evolve and unfold—not in a theatrical sense, but a lived one, from an icon herself. In any case, the event served as a reminder that for all the noise around the fashion world, the most compelling parts are often the quietest: a sketch done by cutting edge creatives at midnight, a question answered humbly and without pretense, a room full of strangers who leave feeling fabulous—all having glimpsed something so unassumingly authentic. Editor's note: While there are two dates currently open to book through the rest of 2025, more may potentially be added to the calendar. Keep checking back on Airbnb's site for more opportunities to book. Shop Cynthia Rowley's collection

Emma Stone Says Working With Ex-Boyfriend Andrew Garfield Was a 'Special Time'
THE RUNDOWN On Thursday, Emma Stone offered some rare comments on her former relationship with actor Andrew Garfield, who she met on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man. The pair dated for about four years beginning in 2011 and seemingly remain good friends. Stone shared insight into their connection during her Vogue's Life in Looks interview, looking at former ensembles and reflecting on where she was in life during that time. In the Spider-Man films, Stone played Gwen Stacy, the love interest of Garfield's character, Peter Parker, otherwise known as Spider-Man. One photo presented to Stone was from the 2014 London premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, in which she is wearing a bright yellow Versace dress. After seeing the outfit, Stone said, 'I mean, I really loved doing Spider-Man. I loved everyone I worked with. I met Andrew there. I met Sally Field and Marc Webb was wonderful. It was really a special time in my life.' She continued, 'The recurring theme is the people, more than kind of like the film itself, is what sticks with me for so long. And so I have only like the fondest memories of this whole experience.' She did add that the press tours were not her favorite part of doing the movies. 'I don't really know how people do it,' she said. 'I remember it being like nine countries in maybe two weeks, and you're functioning in a state of jet lag never previously known to you. I felt truly psychotic the entire time.' Garfield has also talked warmly about Stone and his time as Spider-Man, telling Variety in 2021, 'It was only beautiful. I got to meet Emma [Stone] and work with her and Sally Field.' In Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast in 2022, Garfield also talked about how Stone guessed he would make a surprise appearance in the Tom Holland-led film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. 'Emma kept on texting me. She was like, 'Are you in this new 'Spider-Man' film?' And I was like, 'I don't know what you're talking about!' Garfield claimed. 'She was like, 'Shut up, just tell me,' And like, I honestly… I kept it going, even with her, it's hilarious. And then she saw it and was like, 'You're a jerk!'' Garfield is currently dating Monica Barbaro and Stone went on to marry husband Dave McCary.

PAC-MAN exhibit in Irvine celebrates 45 years of iconic game
A simple circle colored yellow with a piece taken out, and four colored 'ghosts,' sparked a cultural phenomenon in 1980 that remains 45 years later. Even if you've never played PAC-MAN, the maze-themed video game designed by Namco (now Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.), you can likely envision this tiny character that became big in the '80s. 'Since the official introduction, PAC-MAN sparked a worldwide phenomenon that attracted multiple generation of players across genders,' said Susan Tran, senior director of Brand Development for PAC-MAN at Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. in Irvine. 'Its popularity led to several game sequels, a full merchandising program and hit music single as well as two animated television series. 'With record-breaking achievements, PAC-MAN has been recognized by the Guinness World Records with awards such as Most Successful Coin-Operated Game. Bandai Namco continues to release new console and mobile games and this year, PAC-MAN commemorates its 45th anniversary with a variety of partnerships, activations and launches.' Part of the celebration is an exhibit running through Sept. 28 at Great Park Gallery in Irvine called 'Journey Through the Maze: 45 Years of PAC-MAN,' featuring artwork and memorabilia from Bandai Namco as well as more than 50 professional artists from all over the world. There are arcade cabinets with classic gameplay experiences, a timeline history of the game's evolution, reproductions of original drawings, interactive displays and other activities. In May, there was a 'PAC-MAN Pixel Drawing and Collage' event and in July, a PAC-MAN-themed fingerboarding (miniature skateboarding) experience with custom mini skate parks. This month featured a 'Gaming Through the Ages' panel discussion with the artists featured in the exhibit. 'A lot of them were mentioning and talked about [in the panel] just how simple it is, but how anxiety-inducing that game was and that's what made it so memorable and addictive because it was so simple and iconic,' said San Diego artist Patrick Ballesteros, who is featured in the exhibit, helped curate some of the other artists and led the recent panel. 'You just watch this little person go across the screen getting food, trying to avoid ghosts, and that was the whole game. But you were there hours and hours and you remember being a kid in there. … You were just putting quarters in trying to move on to the next level, not knowing if there was ever an end. I think that's the part that connected [a lot] of these artists is because we all remembered playing the game and the actual arcade.' He said it was very different back then compared to now, where players have online and console gaming. 'I think that's the part that has kind of elevated PAC-MAN is that we have the old-schoolers like us doing that,' he said. 'But then we also introduced it to our kids, who now understand PAC-MAN and it still has that appeal.' Adam Sabolick, program coordinator for arts and exhibitions for the city of Irvine and PAC-MAN exhibit curator, said the gallery does three exhibitions a year, ranging from historic topics to pop culture and contemporary art. 'It just seemed like a perfect fit for one of those kind of pop culture shows,' Sabolick said of selecting PAC-MAN as an exhibit theme. 'I also think there's a timelessness to the game in that it would resonate with, obviously, people who grew up in the '80s playing PAC-MAN, but also, I'm in my mid-thirties, when I go to the arcade, I go and play PAC-MAN.' He said at the exhibition, they see a lot of children coming in and playing in the arcade cabinets — getting just as excited about it as the 55-year-olds who come in for a nostalgic experience. Sabolick said one of the really important elements of the PAC-MAN story is how it was one of the first video games that wasn't about violence. 'It's also a very early influential game, so it's not just like any video game,' he said. 'It's a game that kind of opened up a lot of conversations around gaming, a lot of ideas around gaming and I think some of the elements that the game kind of trail-blazed are still thought about heavily today in contemporary game design.' Sabolick said there's a whole section of the exhibit that's focused on merchandise — with everything from lunch pails and coffee cups to vinyl records, books and temporary tattoos. 'You see as technology shifts from generation to generation how PAC-MAN has constantly reinvented itself outside of the video game itself,' he said. There's more than 50 original artworks that make up about half of the exhibit, with a range of aesthetics, from minimalist to animated and digital representations. 'We call that area of the show the tribute wall,' Sabolick said. 'These are professional working artists that are paying tribute to PAC-MAN's influence and I think that's a really important element of the show, because the story of how the creator of PAC-MAN created PAC-MAN and came up with the concept is something that's super inspiring, but it's very simple as well.' The PAC-MAN character shape was inspired by what a pizza with a slice missing looks like. Tran said Toru Iwatani set out to create a game that appealed to new audiences — something that was different from other games in the market.
