If you are a gamer, you know very well that keeping alert, awake and focused are key components to success in whatever ‘world’ you are navigating through. And with more people turning to gaming and technology in general, so are the rise in addiction rates to drugs such as Adderall, which can be very harmful. That is why new, all-natural companies are emerging and doctors are speaking out about why gamers and others who need to keep alert should turn to more natural solutions to get the same results that won’t harm them either short term or long term. FHM spoke with Mick Emandi, one of the masterminds behind a new capsule product that has been trending around the world called ClariGenZ, that has been a go-to for gamers and…

In 2015, developers Techland released Dying Light to little fanfare, considering the disappointment of their previous zombie games, Dead Island. However, Dying Light was different, it was actually really, really good. Featuring crunchy first-person melee combat, combined with excellent parkour like traversal and some truly terrifying enemies. It took the gaming world by surprise and quickly became one of the games of 2015. Sadly we had to wait 7 years before the sequel arrived, but based on how solid Dying Light 2 is, we’d say it was worth the wait. Dying Light 2 is set 20 years after the original game, where despite our best efforts the virus and zombies won. This time you find yourself in The City, one of the last human settlements, torn by conflict. You are…

Such an absolute honor to have you on FHM! How are you feeling about 2022? I feel so grateful to be here! I’m so excited for 2022! I have a lot of projects coming up this year that I’m looking forward to working on, both personal and professional. What are you most looking forward to this year? Traveling! Something I missed far too much during the pandemic. Top 3 best moments of your career so far? This is definitely one of them! Being published on the cover of Playboy New Zealand and featuring in music videos have probably been the best moments in my career so far. What was on your resolution list this year? To travel often, learn to ski which I am planning on doing later this month,…

Size is one of the Jolion’s many merits. Large enough to rub shoulders with a VW T-Cross, Hyundai Venue or Suzuki Vitara but you’re never likely to feel that it’s ‘too much car’ once you’ve dropped the kids off at school. It’s an SUV for those who desire a wedge of ground clearance and higher seating position rather than for bashing your way off-road. Driving a Jolion around town is no more challenging than a medium-sized hatchback and you’ll be thankful for the bigger boot space and folding rear seats when those holiday reminders pop up on Google calendar. Haval hasn’t been around long enough to have established its own visual identity so I still find myself struggling to make any meaningful associations or comparisons. Sometimes the styling can appear…

A few years ago there was a boom in virtual reality, from the Oculus Rift to Google Cardboard to the HTC Vive. It seemed that the future was Virtual Reality. And then it went quiet. The technology wasn’t quite up to scratch with complicated setups, nausea-inducing movements, and low res quality screens as well as a very high price point that kept VR out of the homes of the majority of consumers. Many felt the days of VR were over, yet in 2022 it looks like VR is making a strong comeback thanks to Sony’s updated PSVR 2. At CES 2022, Sony announced its next-gen Virtual Reality set, simply named the PlayStation VR 2, a headset specifically designed for the PS5. Sony stated that PSVR 2 will take VR gaming…

The Resident Evil Series Seen by many as the gaming series that popularized the zombie genre, Resident Evil has been a mainstay in horror games since 1996. Although the series has had its up and downs, the series recently found its form again with the terrifying Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village. Yet the original Resident Evil is still considered by many as the ultimate zombie game, seeing you take on the living dead in a creepy mansion. Thanks to the HD remake, the first Resident Evil still holds up and is considered a classic in zombie culture. Do yourself a favor and play the newly released Resident Evil 2 and 3 as well to get a sense of what made this series so well-liked amongst the gaming community.…

Hellbound An original Netflix release about supernatural beings appearing out of nowhere to condemn people to Hell, the series stars Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, Park Jeong-min, Won Jin-ah, and Yang Ik-june. Hellbound takes place in 2022–27 in South Korea. An otherworldly face called an angel suddenly starts to materialize to deliver prophecies called decrees that condemn certain individuals to Hell at a specific future time, either seconds or years away. Three hulking supernatural monsters appear at almost the exact time to maul and incinerate the person’s body in a sort of spectacular show of force called a demonstration. Two organizations in cahoots, the cult-like New Truth Society and the gang-like Arrowhead group, gain power by playing on people’s fears. It’s a show filled with existential crises and plenty of moral…

So why do I still struggle to actually say the word without a convenient slang term to fall back on, as emphasized by the choice of title for this piece? If I am honest it still scares me, and I have found it one of the most difficult subjects to talk about. For me it even eclipses death. I guess that many of you reading this will also struggle to comprehend what a sufferer will feel like unless you have trodden the same path. Having said that, both of my personal experiences of cancer were different, and it wasn’t until I was in the eye of the storm that I realized there are in excess of two-hundred types. Because of the colossal emotion and daunting statistics, I had decided to…

Pick any sales month and out of the top ten performing vehicles, three will be pickups. Look a little further down that list you’ll also see newcomers like the GWM P Series and Mahindra Scorpio putting up a brave fight too. So if you’re an automaker with an interest in taking a slice of the market share, the data is simply too hard to ignore. Peugeot obviously agrees… However, it’s a tough segment to disrupt. Allegiances are strong, communities are knowledgeable, and take a hard, skeptical view of anything new. In order to claw one’s way in, the product needs to arrive with higher specifications at a fairly decent price, while ensuring that the workmanlike fundamentals like power outputs, cabin derivatives, and towing capacity mirror their rivals. Still, even as…

For decades now, Japanese developer From Software has been punishing players with their rock-hard games, from monster slashing Demon Souls back on the PS3 to the ninja sword clashing of Sekiro. Yet despite the difficulty of these games, From Software is one of the most celebrated developers out there at the moment. Fans adore the soul series of games and what was once a niche market, has grown into one of these most popular, even becoming one of the games that has been ripped off the most, creating the term souls-like. Now in 2022, From Software is back with their biggest and most exciting game yet, the most-touted Elden Ring. In collaboration with the current king of fantasy, George RR Martin, the mastermind behind the wonderful Game of Thrones books,…

Being deceived, duped, conned, or shafted isn’t pleasant. But if you have been you are in damn good company. In 30 BC, according to Plutarch, Cleopatra misled her protector Epaphroditus and committed suicide. Prime Minister Anthony Eden was duped by Harold Macmillan during the Suez Crisis of 1956 resulting in the latter getting the top job, although to be fair Macmillan was simultaneously deceived by his wife Lady Dorothy Cavendish who was literally being shafted by Conservative grandee Robert Boothby. In 1967 a comprehensive review stateside concluded that Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson had both deceived the American people about the Vietnam War. Even when a shyster has a surname with red flags and yellow flares erupting around it you would think that people would be savvier, although…

It’s a balance between evolution and revolution once again. Essentially the S3’s anatomy hasn’t changed since it was launched in 1999 and neither has its market position as a sophisticated and cultured hot hatch that doesn’t sacrifice premium niceties for spine-tingling speed. Suffice to say, the new S3 (8Y in nerd terms) doesn’t deviate from the successful and now ubiquitous script, rather choosing to enhance these characteristics and sharpen the styling. The entire A3 range, when wearing the S-line kit, now features a bolder look with wider vents carved into the bumpers. Due to this, even a relatively plain A3 can appear menacing with the right options and the S3 sometimes struggles to take it a notch higher. Our Sportback in Python Yellow isn’t as flamboyant as a Mercedes-AMG A35…

Such an absolute honor to have you on FHM! What are the plans this year for you? Thank you for having me on your cover. I am so honored to be here. Those who may recognize me may know me from the streaming platform, Twitch or from Naked News as the Naked Nerd. The entire time I have been in this industry it has been during the pandemic so this year I’m hoping to expand and go to real-life events such as Comicon and Twitchcon. I also hope that I will be able to collaborate with more streamers and models as that is something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time now. Another magazine cover or two wouldn’t hurt either. What are you most looking forward to this…
