NIGHT FURY HYTI FARA Speed: Unknown Faster than the speed of sound – 1207km/h Size: Unknown 7-8 metres long, 15 metre wingspan The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance to survive – hide and pray that it does not find you. More like a gigantic flying combo of a puppy and a kitten, with questionable artistic abilities and a love for fish. Hates/fears eels (fear shared among most dragons). Playful, intelligent, curious, and loyal. Can sleep hanging from a tree branch like a bat, or will also scorch the earth to warm the soil before curling up. Can shoot plasma blasts. Extremely rare – so far only one has been seen in recent years. One row of retractable teeth, and saliva that…

0:03 “Well folks, we all know the story.” 0:05 Looks like we have old footage of the Storm siblings (Johnny and Sue) in spacesuits, then Ben Grimm and Reed Richards laughing together. 0:07 “Four brave astronauts head up into space, and come back forever changed.” 0:13 Kids cheer for Ben, transformed into a rocky creature. They want him to lift a car, and he does! 0:17 Everything looks like an alternate past, like if the 1960s were way more futuristic... 0:33 We get a cool group moment where Ben, Sue, Reed, and Johnny wear their supersuits! 0:36 The Fantastic Four live in the Baxter Building, with a robot called H.E.R.B.I.E., who can apparently cook – according to Ben! 0:44 Easter egg alert! That cereal box art is comic legend Jack…

SPRING TO LIFE ▶ MOB MAYHEM ‘Spring To Life’ was Minecraft’s first drop of the year on March 25! The drop included new mob variants for the pig, cow, and chicken, with cold or warm versions in sandy and chilly biomes, plus a brown, black, and white sheep spawning update. Now, when a wolf spawns, it gets one of seven personalities, and each wolf will bark, growl, pant, whine, and express themselves in a unique way! FIREFLY PARTICLES ▶ BETTER BIOMES Listen for new desert sounds, like howling wind, chirping crickets, or the whispers of sand from terracotta blocks, sand blocks, and the dead bush. Frolic under falling leaves, and hear rustling sounds as you walk on ‘leaf litter’. There are plant updates, like the Cactus Flower (can be crafted…

K-ZONER PRANK ELBOW ESCAPADE Get a friend to stand and put their arm out so their hand is on a wall in front. Once they’ve done that, ask them to put their hand down without moving their body, then rub their elbow. Still without moving where they are standing, ask them to raise their hand again. Their arm won’t reach the wall this time, even though they’re in the exact same spot! Lewis, Qld YOU’RE TOAST Find a prank target, and ask them to say, ‘Loast. Coast. Roast. Ghost. Host. Woast. Post. Quost. Nost. Boast’. After, ask ‘em, ‘What do you put in a toaster?’ They will most likely say ‘Toast!’ and you can tell them that’s wrong – it’s ‘Bread’! TIE TREACHERY You need a tie on your neck…

STEP 1: UNIVERSAL TRANSPORTATION To survive in space, you have to get there first. I’ve always wanted to be abducted by aliens (I’m obsessed with them), but it took a long time to figure out how to get taken to space – I tried lying down with big arrows pointing to me, and using a radio to send a message, but that didn’t lead to any tractor-beams or alien summonings. In the end, I had to transmit my voice to the galaxy (using top-secret military tech my aunt Olga uses at work) to get real results… Though I guess you shouldn’t try that. STEP 2: COSMIC COMMUNICATION Once you’re lifted into space by aliens, you need to spend time getting to know the different species. This was kind of easy for…
