Let’s face it, smuggling during a pandemic is never going to be a great idea. Moving between cities, taking unnecessary risks, and transporting materials that could bring infection to locked down areas is obviously an irresponsible thing to try. Auckland, a major city in New Zealand, is under level 4 lockdown due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, and takes what you bring into the city very seriously. It is in these situations however, when the public have no access to that which we take for granted, that Kentucky Fried Crime will inevitably flourish. So it was earlier this week that…

In a world of high speed jets and stealth bombers, the unsung heroes of aerial warfare are often overlooked. Tankers are certainly not as stylish as their faster, more exciting military cousins. But tankers are a comparatively huge aircraft that provide the vital ability for short range aircraft to refuel in mid-flight. These aerial refueling stations are massive, slow, and unfortunately an extremely easy target in warfare. Hard to defend, tankers are thusly considered prime targets (or HVAAs, ‘High-Value Airborne Assets’) for enemy attack in the field of battle. The US Air Force’s latest initiative is a project intended to…

From way back in the halcyon days of the shambling zombies of “Resident Evil,” the psychological horror worlds of “Silent Hill,” and the helpless-schoolgirl-in-distress romps of “Haunting Ground” and “Clock Tower.” I played them all. It was a teenage obsession, and for many gamers the niche genre most prominently represented on the PS1 and PS2 holds a very special place in our black little hearts. Somewhere around “Resident Evil 4,” the genre made a drastic shift in tone, and the trademarks of the survival horror game began…

It’s been a whirlwind few years for Lil Nas X. The 22-year old went from working at Taco Bell, to Grammy-winning international music sensation in a few short years. But it looks like the ‘Industry Baby’ star is coming back around for another job at Taco Bell. Instead of taking orders however, Lil Nas X is stepping into the somewhat mysterious role of Chief Impact Officer for the restaurant chain.
