‘Monster Mash’ is a classic tune that we reckon totes inspired Crypt of the NecroDancer. You’ll catch on in a flash to this graveyard smash against a rash of fiend-filled floors to bash. There are shaky skeletons, zumba-ing zombies, dancing dragons, and more monsters looking to body you. Get lost in the deadly dance of the game’s soundtrack, with 40 tracks to tackle. Otherwise, try bringing in your own favourite playlist and convert it into a slay-list. As you twist and shake through ever-shifting dungeons filled with danger, you have to respect one basic dance rule... Stick to the beat to beat it, or dance outta there defeated! The boxed version of Crypt of the NecroDancer comes with the Amplified DLC prequel to try. As you would hope, everything has…

K-Z : Hi Kayne! Did you learn anything new or surprising on Oh Yuck? K: I learned so much while being Septico! Have you ever heard of a fossilised poo? It’s called a coprolite and it’s a real thing! K-Z: What was the funniest scene? K: The ‘Gastrov Flatulinsky’ episode! It had us all crying with laughter – so many different styles of fart in so little time. K-Z: What was the hardest episode or scene of the show to film? K: One of the hardest scenes to shoot was when Snot Faucet (our resident giant nose in the Lab) catches a cold... Our amazing special effects team made Snotty sneeze all over Pristine and me. We had to jump in front of 20 litres of fake boogers and snot…

MOST JENGA BLOCKS STACKED ON ONE VERTICAL JENGA BLOCK Stacking a bunch of Jenga blocks is nerve wracking enough already, but Tai Star Valianti from Arizona, USA, recently took his Jenga skills to the next level. He broke a record on May 13, 2020 after stacking 485 blocks on one single vertical standing Jenga block! The previous record was actually also held by Tai, for 353 blocks in January 2019. This time, Tai only stopped at 485 blocks because he had used all of the Jenga blocks he had at the time! Perhaps Tai will break his own record again soon! We’re just impressed by the way this talented Jenga master built an incred upside-down pyramid. Want more amazing records and incred facts? Check out Guinness World Records 2021, out…

How did you describe your dream rocket to Netflix? L: My rocket is really fast and rainbow-coloured. It’s a rainbow rocket because I like rainbows. Red, yellow, orange, green and purple. It’s going up to space. The smoke is breathing out from the fire. I like the smoke. My rocket has windows so everyone can see, and I can…

CREATURE NEWS Scientists around the world have recently found that some Australian animals glow under UV light! ‘Biofluorescence’ was previously known to affect some insects and sea creatures, but a team at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, USA discovered the phenomenon in platypuses! The team released a research paper about the discovery in October 2020, and other scientists began to search for biofluorescence in other animals. The Western Australian Museum found that wombats also glow under UV light!

k-z: Hi Cosentino and Miss C! How did you refine your skills? C: I started doing school shows when I was 17 years old. I travelled the country doing incursions for primary and high school students. This helped me develop important performance skills – speech, presentation, showmanship – that I still rely on to this day. MC: I went to circus university! Clowning is a type of theatre, as well as a type of comedy. I practise juggling, mime, movement, even balloon twisting and face painting! These skills take hours of practise. k-z: Which skills are most important for your job? C: You have to love the process of practise. Why? It takes a lot of it to make the difficult look easy. Another important skill is showmanship. It’s not…

Take The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and subtract 100 years. What do you get? Hundreds of extra enemies in the prequel, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity! The shadowy backstory was teased in Breath of the Wild, and that’s what this game is all about. Instead of exploring a massive map, you’re taking on extremely epic battles in that same space. Jump into the speedy boots of legendary Link as you slash and bash your way through waves of foes. Switch it up between Zelda, Impa and the four Champs from Breath of the Wild. We love the different gameplay styles for each character. Link’s linking strikes are familiar, but Impa’s teleporting, doppelganger-summoning attacks are next-level awesome. They’ll send stacks of Bokoblins hobblin’ or even lay down Lynels.…

NAME: Lucas LOCATION: Tas WHAT DID YOU PLAY? NBA 2K21 on Xbox. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? I like the skill gap, which gives good players the chance to stand out. I love to play because I love basketball. I think it’s cool how you can make a player. My winning percentage is about 80. I think that is OK, but it can always be better. WHAT OTHER FEATURES DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE GAME? The Make-A-Wish logo. You get a logo above your player’s head that indicates you are the recipient of a wish.

HAND BREAK Grab a handful of crunchy food and then put it in your mouth. Some dry cereal works well! Next, find a family member nearby and shake their hand. During the handshake, bite down on the food to make a ‘crunch’ sound, and react as if their grip has broken your hand! BEWARE BOOGER Tell a friend there is a huge booger on their face. When they try to wipe it off, say, ‘It’s still there!’ You can also pretend it has gone, only to mention it again later! Everett, ACT NO SPLASHING Fill a bucket with shredded paper, and then throw the contents of the bucket at people. Your prank victim will think they are about to be splashed with a bucket full of water instead. This prank…
