The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom It’s been six years since Nintendo unleashed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the then-brand-new Nintendo Switch. BOTW went on to win numerous Game of Year awards and have sold almost 30 million units over the last 6 years.

Porsche has a reputation for making the best even better, but the idea of a Spyder GT4 RS still caught us by surprise. After all, here is a car that was conceived from all the best componentry, and then distilled into a smaller more affordable package compared to a GT3 RS. It was as though Porsche read its fan mail, even the bonkers suggestions, and created a new hero car that feels like it’s already part of Porsche’s legacy. In the past, news of a Spyder was divisive. You had the purists moaning about diminished structural rigidity, lost through the roof, but you also had those who liked the broader bandwidth - essentially two experiences rolled in one. Thanks to new materials and construction techniques, the void between the two…

It’s 2023 and small and medium business owners are trying to find new ways to compete with big, high-budget businesses that have taken over the marketplace.

Nowadays, car competitions usually get a big ‘who cares’ from us but the World Car of the Year carries the most weight of the lot with over 100 journalists from around 32 countries plying their trade. It’s the competition all brands want to win, and it generally is the clearest indicator of future trends and current benchmarks. Success here usually translates to the real world and no surprise, in 2023 electric vehicles dominated, as they have done since 2021 when the Volkswagen ID.4 won. Two years before that, the Jaguar I-Pace. However, none dominated more flawlessly than Hyundai. The Korean automaker held a formidable title defense of the IONIQ’s win in 2022 with another overall victory by the IONIQ 6, beating the BMW X1/iX1 and Kia Niro. Not quite content,…

My personal pathway to pornography was – I guess – progressive, in as much as my first contact or event involved a relatively tranquil take-off ─ flicking through the pages of a well-thumbed and discarded magazine in a local lorry park, aged around twelve, with my mate Alan. This experience was somewhat delicate when compared with routes to erotica nowadays that land without warning in more hardcore territory. Early glimpses of the flesh via this glossy-paged medium continued sporadically during my teens, facilitated primarily by my dad’s poorly hidden copies of lighter porn located in his wardrobe, under his folded jumpers. On entering the rat race at nineteen as a police officer, this stable state of affairs experienced substantial turbulence when, as an occupant of single quarters (directly above the…

It’s rare for any band to survive for over 40 years in the industry, it’s even more rare when that band is a metal band, yet the thrash kings Metallica are still going strong 40 years after their debut release. Since 1983 Metallica has rewritten the rules of metal, constantly re-inventing themselves while remaining one of the biggest musical acts in the world. With their recent new release 72 Seasons receiving high marks from critics and fans alike, Metallica once again proves that they are a force to be reckoned with, regardless of the musical landscape around them. With that in mind, we revisit their four biggest albums and look at what made the songs and the band such a unique force. Master of Puppets Widely regarded as the greatest…

With the recent release of the highly popular Tears of the Kingdom, many newcomers to the Zelda series might want to take a deep dive into the wonderful world of Hyrule and explore the incredible worlds, characters and mechanics that made the Zelda series into one of the most unique gaming franchises on the market. Each entry is unique and offers a very different experience for the player, so it might be tough for a newcomer to pick the right Zelda to explore. Fortunately, we’ve listed the top Zelda games you should play right after you’ve finished Tears of the Kingdom. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Widely considered one of the greatest video games of all time and a landmark entry in the Zelda series, Ocarina of Time…

The Great Pyramid of Giza – the only remaining Great Wonder of the World – has captivated me ever since I can remember. At school, I devoured every reference book chronicling the unique chapters of the exquisite and enchanting Egyptian civilization. Spanning nearly thirty centuries, its history encompassed four dynasties: Early, the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. Its demise came in the 12th century B.C. caused by – as many historians will cite – drought, famine, economic collapse, and occupation. Many outsiders had significant influence upon Egyptian society, with Alexander the Great representing one of the most powerful agents of change. A Pharaoh. A God on Earth, and, like all contemporaries, destined – so they believed – to be immortal in the afterlife. This mesmerizing and…

McLaren’s portfolio continues to branch out but somewhere near the trunk of that family tree is the McLaren 720S. A beautifully designed car, with such handling fluidity, road presence and speed that recalibrated your brain and blurred your vision. A very careful, yet considerate evolution of the 720 has resulted in the 750 and McLaren is rather confident that they’ve managed to improve it in all areas. Some of the reworking is subtle, and very McLaren-ish in its clinical execution but when you have a car as sublime as the 720S as a base, the smallest of details are all that’s left. The front splitter is slightly longer, the nose is lower and the vents are slightly tweaked. These changes disguise the impressive fact that 30% of the exterior components…
