in belgium is a magnet for the rich and famous. video games have come a long way since pac-man or space invaders to become a large part of today's popular culture here in germany it's estimated that forty percent of the population play video games and that number seems to be growing will like them or not there's no disputing that video games are an integral part of many people's lives so much so the victorian albert museum in london has devoted an entire exhibition to the subject it shows the diversity of modern videogames and how they impact modern culture to this day. video games have become more than just a way to pass the time in fact they're currently being presented as an art form at a museum in london the victoria and albert is dedicating an entire exhibition to be deal games focusing on their development since the early two thousand. there is

a turning point around that where access to broadband to social media to new design tools new commentary online new way to talk about video games up and it's really changed the nature of the media and moved it from a particular direction for it so much boardwalk can explore different ideas. that applies to games with a million dollar budget. as well as small independent productions to show what the b.n.a. pays special attention to how games look we're not special about all the design and so not said today video games make perfect sense to be explored here right now digital design is one of the most important elements of contemporary design and that's why we're at the forefront of exploring these things one example of outstanding design is that twenty thirteen gaming epic that lanced of us. why do you still freight train cars and trucks players assume the roles of father and

daughter trying to survive in a world ravaged by an epidemic. thanks to an exciting story line matched by deceptively realistic graphics the game is sold millions of copies. of. the exhibit reveals the months long painstaking work that goes into developing stories and game design. design is also key to the success of journey a surprise hit from twenty twelve. players room of virtual desert that's why the games developer. went to a real sandy environment to design it. and. they went to that is more dunes of the store through l.a. and decided to spend time running in the sand and you could see me playing with a scarf in the air and you know just sliding and walking and feeling with the sand

developed the game a lot of video games deal with deaths but they deal with them in very artificial ways and confronting a gamer with the idea of death was sort of in a way we were playing with their expectations of what games just is and then also making them think about well the human condition at the same time just what we wanted to show this this confrontation of life and death in the city and the harmony between those. in the virtual and the real worlds are growing closer for example game fashion is inspired by design. in reality and vice versa. players go beyond just playing it they create they they take the characters from these walls offline and create cosplay and they create communities and you know i think both of these areas and some topics are superphosphate for the future of video. showing the victoria and albert museum and means back at the beginning at

a very good twenty eight. long wind after i've just measured eighty two degrees on the ursula scale in the grate. at most and. one is not good either because then the winds have too much alcohol and the mogul isn't known for high alcohol wines but for more delicate wine. so now they're hoping for rain so that the grapes are juicy enough otherwise the vendors will have to start harvesting quickly marcus long is getting his sellers ready he needs a that space to prove the brakes after they've been picked. red wines would actually be better suited to the unusually hot climate markets long and grow some red wine varieties like cabernet sauvignon and marlow. the sun kissed summer has the wine growers hoping for a super vintage for their reds they could even compare with some of these rarities from the one nine hundred sixty s. seventy's and eighty's in marcus long's collection and often twenty eighteen is

a bit deep in their pockets though if they want to stay here is the room start at three hundred euros per night so let's have a look now at what makes this accommodation so special. want to sleep under the same roof as the rich and famous in and perhaps old quarter then they would say lately hotel is the place for you own up to shop post's models musicians and actors from around the world in the refurbished seventeenth century building. so he probably had some by spirit for i feel welcome well for example three or four weeks ago carla bruni was here oh and she wrote you thank you do it today leave for the great time caught in a brownie and then i'll cry and then he pop. thanks very much very much in his signature signature. and they're all in there is this guy. he comes every two or three years trying to work when i'm defo. thank you de witt to lisa's and then he

says and then he writes thank you partner with them to vote for. but the same room that carla bruni and other v.i.p.'s use you have to book the presidential suite double to missed us as a double room it costs six hundred thirty five euros a night out but you can also book it as a single and then it's around four hundred ninety five. prominent guests enjoyed the privacy not long ago adele stayed here. hello. it's me. does. she run of the entire hotel for a whole week. and every night yes she slept in a different room on the theme of this often. but blue shop bought the hotel in two thousand and eight and remodeled it according to his own taste. in motel but it's a you know we use only the best materials in the sotto that's it from the place is from flavor paper that's a top wallpaper store in brooklyn

rooms the hotel owner leads nothing charts. he plans every detail like in the new suite being complete in the attic the shop is not just fond of exclusive wallpaper and furniture while traveling he was often annoyed by narrow or impractical bathrooms for me. when i go on vacation i stop when i visit or syria or go to the beach beach or the most important thing in the room for me is the bathroom and good having a really good shower. here they're actually all gold faucets and the shower is concealed in a kind of chandelier. but the kitchen is not hidden away behind closed doors any guest to feels like cooking can use that. money. sometimes the guests come to the kitchen or make themselves coffee they're just. that it's cozy people feel home here and that's part of the idea of the hotel.
