UNICORN STICKY SEA GLUE

CANINE

A dog born with an extra tail located on its face has become popular online after being rescued from the streets. Narwhal the puppy was discovered by non-profit, Missouri-based organisation, Mac’s Mission, who said, “This is a true experience of having “extra parts” during assembly.” A series of tests revealed the extra tail did not appear to both the canine and it was determined there was no medical reason to remove the unique feature.

Mac’s Mission has received numerous adoption requests for Narwhal with social media users describing the puppy as “adorable” and “precious”.

Mac’s Mission strives to help animals with “special needs” and has rescued hundreds of dogs, cats, iguanas, rabbits and other wildlife over the years.

Japanese researchers have created a glue that works underwater and can bind objects together in seconds. The aquatic adhesive can glue materials including, glass, metal and rocks. The glue uses ‘electrostatic attraction’ to harness the electric force between molecules which is a method that ensures it lasts longer than other ‘waterproof’ glues. Paper author and polymer scientist, Jian Ping Gong, of Japan’s Hokkaido University, explained the scientists “discovered that the hydrogel could easily be manufactured using a highly scalable, cost-effective method. It can act like superglue in highly ionic environments such as seawater, overcoming issues in currently available marine adhesives.” The global underwater glue market is estimated to generate over $25 billion this year.

✸ Nuts for ✸

NUTELLA Creators of the popular sandwich-spread, Nutella, recently launched a contest giving people the chance to win a two-night visit to a pop-up hotel dedicated to the hazelnut treat. Located in Calistoga in the Napa Valley, California, Hotella Nutella was proposed to open across one weekend in

January. The company invited people to imagine “largerthan-life jars of Nutella and breakfast decor, and hazelnut and cocoa spread-inspired hotel items.”

Applicants were asked to submit a oneminute-video explaining why they deserved the unique hotel stay along with plane flights, airport transfers and a Nutella “breakfast experience.”

According to Nutella, the entry videos were judged “based on creativity, passion for Nutella and connection to breakfast”.

HOUSEKEEPING OLYMPICS Groups of hotel workers gathered to test their talents in the 30th annual Housekeeping Olympics. Held at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas, teams represented various hotels and resorts and competed in events such as, bed-making, the mop relay, confetti vacuuming racing and the toilet paper toss.

Housekeeper and participant, Rhanda Moore, said, “I love the crowd, I love the adrenaline, I love the excitement and I love the competition.” First place was awarded to a Venetian housekeeping team followed by the Mirage who came second and Circus Circus taking out third place. President of the Mandalay Bay resort, Chuck Bowling, explained that the event recognises and celebrates the unsung workers within the hospitality industry.

Scientists from the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich, revealled the caterpillar is five-millimetreslong and named it Eogeometer vadens. Co-author of the study, Axel Hausmann, said, “Caterpillar finds in amber

When Jazz the giraffe was abandoned at birth, he was luckily rescued by a farmer who found the two-day-old animal alone, weak and dehydrated. Jazz was transferred to the Rhino Orphanage in Limpopo Province, South Africa, where despite being surrounded by rhinoceroses, he found a friend in the centre’s watchdog, Hunter. From their first encounter, the two animals developed an incredible bond with Hunter adopting and watching over Jazz. Reports claim the unusual friends are almost inseparable with Hunter now sleeping beside the young giraffe at night. Caretaker, Janie Van Heerden, recalled that Jazz “was about two days old when he came in. He was very weak, his mother had left him alone, so we had to put him onto IV fluids and yes he is doing a lot better now.”

NEWZ ✸ Car Driving ✸

DOG A dog in Florida has caused chaos after being filmed putting a car into reverse and driving in circles for an hour. Max, the black Labrador, accidentally set the grey sedan into reverse in a cul-de-sac in Port St Lucie, Florida. The car struck a mailbox and a rubbish bin whilst local law enforcement and onlookers tried to figure out how to stop the vehicle. Witness, Anna Sabol, said, “I saw another cop car and another cop car. I laughed. I thought they should give that dog a licence to drive.

He was a better driver than a lot of them I’ve seen.” Reports suggested that Max’s owner had briefly stepped out of the car after making a wrong turn.

No one was injured during the incident and Max was happy and as healthy as could be when he finally exited the car.

Sabol added, “He was doing pretty good until he hit the mailbox. He went around for about an hour without hitting anything at all.”

DRUMMING PRODIGY SCORES SCHOLARSHIP A five-year-old snare drummer has been offered a full band scholarship to the Alcorn State University in Mississippi.

Jeremiah Travis started drumming on ABC blocks as a baby and has never stopped. Mother, Nicole Jackson, said, “I am just amazed at his playing level with him being so young.” Travis has also been invited to play in the Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite Band when he graduates from high school in 2032. Currently attending Helena College and Career Academy in Greensburg, Louisiana, Travis plays alongside fellow band members who are 10 years older than him and more than double his size.

Band director, Chesteron Frye, described the talented drummer as “always working on his skills... Any free time in the band room or when we go on break, he’s drumming on the floor, getting other drummers to come and just asking them ‘can we play, can we play.’”

The original 1991 Sonic video game was released by Sega in attempts to compete with Nintendo’s gaming mascot, Mario. By 2014, the Sonic the Hedgehog gaming franchise had made over $5 billion.

Actor, Paul Rudd, was in discussions to play

the lead role of Tom Wachowski in May, 2018. One day later, James Marsden was confirmed as an unnamed role which was later revealed as the character, Tom.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has received acknowledgment in Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008 including,

The majority of the filming for Sonic the Hedgehog was located on Vancouver Island, as well as, in Vancouver, Canada.

THE BIG QUESTION If you’ve been following on with all the news about the next-generation consoles launching at the end of 2020, you would have heard the term Haptic Feedback used a few times. This is the new technology coming to future controllers, which is replacing the old rumble effect. Haptic feedback, usually felt

THE

in the triggers of the controller, allows the game to change how the trigger feels to pull based on what you are doing in the game.

So, if you are firing a gun, it may be easy to pull. But if you are pulling back the string on a bow to shoot an arrow, you’ll have to squeeze the trigger harder. It’s basically about making it feel

like you are touching the world through the controller; in this case the strain of pulling back on the string.

You can imagine all the ways this could be used in video games to further immerse you in the world!

BIG

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STREAMING AND DOWNLOADING? S You may have heard of new games streaming services like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud and wondering how they are different from the way we play games already. Currently, we go to somewhere like the PlayStation Store, or Apple Arcade, or GamePass, and we download a game

to our hard drive, then we play it. With these new streaming services, you never actually download the game to your machine.

Instead, the game plays on a computer on the other side of the internet, and the video feed streams – like a movie on Netflix – to your screen. The big advantage of this

system is that you don’t need a powerful computer to play the best games; you can even play them on a

mobile phone or TV. The disadvantage is, you need an awesome internet connection for it to work.

Unfortunately, unlike the Oculus Quest headset, the Comsos is still wired and it’s annoying dealing with the cable while moving around. It’s also worth noting that you don’t need just a powerful PC to run it, but also a DisplayPort 1.2.

Disney+ Netflix has a big rival on its hands. Disney has pulled almost all its movies and TV shows from rival streaming services and started a brand new one of their own. It’s called Disney+ and it is available to stream through a browser, mobiles, Xbox One, PS4, Apple TV and even some smart TVs. The service is very similar to Netflix in the way it operates, only the focus is very much on family-friendly content. The service launched with over 800 shows and movies, which is impressive, and more will come every month. If you like Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic and The Simpsons, it’s well worth $8.99/month.

FRESH

IC S

A stack of new games have been revealed this month, let’s take a closer look at them.

EV VE ER RW W ILD

GROU NDED

(PC, XBO)

Legendary game developer Rare has announced a brand-new game series. This is big news! This is the studio that invented Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, GoldenEye, Battletoads, Kameo, Viva Piñata, Sea of Thieves, Conker… we could go. The game is called Everwild, and it has a very similar visual style to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We know that it is an adventure game that follows the story of three characters as they interact with mythical beasts in a lush and vibrant world. But sadly, it doesn’t look like it will be out for a while.

(PC, XBO)

Fresh from releasing the excellent RPG The Outer Worlds, developer Obsidian Entertainment has announced its next game.

It’s a bit like Honey I Shrunk the Kids, where you and three friends are shortened down to a size smaller than an ant. You then find yourself teaming up with others to try and survive locations that would usually be super safe, like your backyard. Of course, nothing is simple when you are super small. Facing off against armies of ants, giant spiders and beetles is tough. At least you can find twigs, pebbles and other such things to craft weapons, tools and buildings!

KAR TRID ER: DRI FT

(PC, XBO)

We can never get enough kart racing games and this newly announced game for 2020 is a follow-up to a title that has been huge in Asia for fifteen years.

As the name suggests, drifting is a big part of the gameplay, as that is how you charge your boost. As such, it’s a bit more focused on holding proper racing lines; although there is a power-ups mode as well. There is a massive amount of customisation in this game, too. Not just with the carts – which all look crazy - but also with your little character avatars. You can have a totally unique look to anyone else in the world.

AHE A AH H D FOR SONY AND THE PLAYSTATION CONSOLE. WILL IT O E MOST POPULAR GAMES MACHINE ON EARTH?

WATTAM

DID YOU KNOW

Fighting fans can expect a Street Fighter V: Champion Edition on February 14. It includes all the DLC released in this game, which works out to 40 characters and 34 stages!

WORDS BY CHRIS STEAD

If you’ve ever played one of the Katamari Damacy games, then you know how colourful, charming, silly and bizarre its developer can be. All those traits carry across to his next PS4 exclusive, Wattam. It’s effectively a puzzle game, but unlike any you have seen before.You play the mayor of a world that is very chaotic.You need to find other beings, hold hands with them to make music and fireworks, and then solve puzzles to make them happy. This could involve platforming, logic or even just finding food for them to eat. Even though the things you need to do a super weird, it somehow brings harmony to all the chaos in the world, which is strangely addictive.

This is a game where you will find a mouth that wants food, and if you give it food, it will make poop.

And if you give the poop to the toilet, it will be happy. Make sense? It’s not supposed to, just relax and give it a go!

IS THIS THE

ONTROLLER? R?

We’re all getting su about the launch of the PS5 in November 2 , an e’re gradually seeing more and more news about this next-gen console emerge.

This month we found a patent for a new DualShock controller. This might not be the final form it takes, but it offers some insights into what we might expect. It shows a controller with smaller sticks, larger triggers that have haptic feedback, a USB-C port for faster charging and no lightbar on the back. The big touchpad remains, however!

INDIE GEMS

THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF GREAT INDIE GAMES APPEARING ON THE PS4 STORE EVERY MONTH, AND MANY OF THEM ARE NOT ONLY GREAT FUN, BUT AFFORDABLE, TOO. HERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE CAUGHT OUT EYE AND ARE WORTH CHECKING OUT.

SPARKLITE:

The story begins when you crash your airship into a land where the environment is constantly shifting and changing due to natural disasters.

As you seek out to solve this devious mystery, you’ll discover a fun, retro-styled action-adventure game that reminds us of the old Zelda games. You and your robot companion get to meet lots of characters and the the randomly generated maps keep things interesting. But it’s the deep, fast combat and perk system that really shine.

WOVEN:

Similar to games like Yoshi’s Woolly World, Woven stars environment and characters with a cool fabric look. Except this is a 3D adventure game with plenty of story to enjoy. As the elephant, you’re an unusual character.

However, you can customise your look considerably with patterns and parts you collect. This changes how you can access and interact with the world and enemies, and it’s a blast trying different designs for your character and seeing what it allows you to do and how it helps you progress.

The easy-to-master controls certainly help, too.

LOST EMBER:

This is one of those indie games that blows you away with its looks and its ability to just let you relax and explore. There is some light puzzling, but this is mostly an exploration game. You start as a wolf, but you can shift into other animals that you come across. This allows you to head further through the world, as each animal has certain talents you can use to progress.

As you go you learn more about the world’s past, but really, its more fun just discovering new animals and landscapes.

Meet the team who are saving the planet!

Professor Sauernoggin TM Professor Sauernoggin is a reclusive scientist whose secret mission was to find new ways to convert toxic waste products to useful purposes. One day, he reached for his coffee and accidentally grabbed a beaker of toxic potion instead. He realised his mistake as soon as he had taken his first giant gulp. But by then, it was too late. In an instant, Professor Sauernoggin exploded into a fireball – he had been temporarily transformed into Mr. Toxie Head! Luckily, the toxic potion had a limited effect and after a short time, Professor Sauernoggin retruned to his old self again. And yet, he knew he could use Mr. Toxie Head in his fight to rid the planet of evil villains who seek to use our planet as their personal trash can.

Hazmat was Professor Sauernoggin’s mild-mannered, brainy rodent. He scurried around the lab wearing a white lab coat just like the professor. His dream was to be just like Professor Sauernoggin one day. Sadly, Hazmat was killed in a freak accident in the lab, nut the professor used all his skill and knowledge of science and revived him with various bionic implants. Hazmat now has a telescopic bionic eye and antenna for broadcasting what he sees back to professor’s lab. His new-found skills have made him the perfect secret agent to help the Professor in tracking down evil polluters.

Mr. Toxie Head is the human mushroom cloud that is also Professor Sauernoggin. Mr. Toxie Head uses his super powers to fight against polluters and enemies of the environment. While Professor Sauernoggin is passionate about recycling, Mr. Toxie Head has combined forces with the Professor to make sure Planet Earth continues to recycle itself by encouraging kids everywhere to save, save, save! Some ways you can save are: ● Save aluminium cans, bottles and paper so they can be recycled. ● Save electricity by turning off the light when you leave a room. ● Save rubbish… and throw it away properly when you can. Don’t litter!

We’re celebrating the new year in this month’s GameSta and it’s going to be jam-packed with exciting games. Here’s a taste of what’s ahead.

HALO INFINITE (XB4, XBO, PC) As if a new game in the Halo series wasn’t exciting enough, Halo Infinite will also be a launch title for the next Xbox console when it arrives in November. The legendary Master Chief returns in a more central role this time around, and thankfully splitscreen co-op play will also be back after being left out of the last entry. Early footage looks incredible! We cannot wait!!

GODS & MONSTERS

WORDS BY CHRIS STEAD

(XBO, XB4, PS4, PS5, PC, SWITCH) Ubisoft is a developer known for making great games, so when we found out the studio was trying its hand at a Zelda-like adventure game, we got very excited indeed. Set in a world inspired by ancient Greek mythology, it’s looks like we’ll get to explore a lush environment filled with mystical beasts and magic.

ODDWORLD: SOULSTORM (XBO PS4, PC) Less a remake and more a reimagining, this game is based on the classic 1998 platformer Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey. As Abe, you help the slave-like Mudokons fight for freedom against the industrial Glukkons that rule the world. The super detailed environment, quirky characters and action-packed platforming should be epic.

LEGO STAR WARS: THE SKYWALKER SAGA (PC, XBO, PS4, SWITCH) Will this be the only Lego game released in 2020?

Probably not, but it’s the only one The Force will be with! It will join all the Skywalker stories from the nine main movies in the Star Wars series together for one long narrative. Even though most of the films have been seen in Lego games before, we’ve been promised all the content will be new.

37

MINECRAFT DUNGEONS

MARVEL’S AVENGERS

(XBO, PS4, PC, SWITCH) We’re finally getting a new game in the greatest creation series ever, Minecraft. And somehow, it’s got no building, crushing or crafting! Instead, this spin-off experience is a co-op dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft world. You’ll be looting, solving puzzles, defeating monsters and avoiding traps as you go, and it could end up being the multiplayer game of the year.

(XBO, PS4, PC) This could very well be the greatest superhero game of all time. For starters, you get to play not as one superhero, but as the entire crew from The Avengers.

And they don’t just have one move each, but a huge roster of attacking and defensive abilities that all feel crazily powerful. Add in insane visuals and great cinematic storytelling, and you have a true blockbuster.

OVERWATCH 2 (XBO, PS4, PC) The biggest and most loved hero shooter of them all is getting a tonne of new maps, new characters and even a new game type in this huge sequel. However, it’s the fresh PvE experience that has us intrigued. There will be two big co-op modes, where you team up to face off against robot armies. These will feature unique levelling-up systems and different styles of abilities for each character, which should greatly mix up the experience.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW HORIZONS (SWITCH) There are many big Nintendo games that have been announced, but the only one with a firm 2020 release date is the new Animal Crossing. It’s the first game on the series for Switch, bringing endless, cute life simulation gameplay to millions of new fans.

Local and online co-op will spice up the experience, plus you can now invite different animals to come stay on your island. As such, you build out not just your farm, but an entire city.

38

What are the first few games available to kick off the new year? Here are our picks.

XBO, PS4, PC

ON BAL very new Dragon Ball ame is grounds xcitement, but this new entry is not just another fighter. This is a proper, action-RPG. There is a big world to explore, with an over-map that you can use to quickly fly between larger locations that include towns to discover and characters to meet. There’s sidequests, levelling-up, items to equip and even various moves to shift between. There’s a story, too, of course. Fans of the anime will love it, y chapter plays out episode from the ut this is a Dragon

TA HEAT

SWITCH, PS4, PC, XBO

WORDS BY CHRIS STEAD

GAR E D GARF If there genre th no introduction, it’s the Kart Racer. Some of the biggest characters in the world have their own kart racing game, and Garfield has joined them. This game offers exactly what you would expect, with grand prix, time trials, single race and multiplayer modes. The latter includes four-player splitscreen thankfully, as well as eight-player online.

There are eight characters se from and 16 to master. If you’re r with the Garfield you will recognise

GAMESTA HEAT

AKAROT

Ball game, so of course there is still plenty of fighting. In fact, combat plays out very similar to the 3D combat games in the series, with big arenas, spectacular effects and all the strategy we love. So, this game basically has all the fighting fun, as well as a big RPG experience. Not to mention you can cook, hunt, fish, drive, fly, mine, trade and more.

Epic!

GAMESTA VERDICT: HUGE GAME

T FUR FU OU

CING ING

of the lo really all things there re to say. In a crowded genre with plenty of good options, the cars don’t move particularly well, the tracks aren’t that exciting and the collision detection is off. It’s not even that much fun unlocking stuff, so avoid this one KRASH Heads.

A Garfield Kart game came out on the 3DS back in 2013.

DR KAWASHIMA’S BRAIN TRAINING

SWITCH

If you have a mum or dad always giving you a hard time because of your gaming, get that back with this game. It’s all about improving the age of your brain by tackling minigames that involve similar problems to what you face in school. Except, that it makes it all feel like a game, so you’re playing, learning and improving at the same time.

The series was

GAMESTA HEAT

a big hit on Nintendo handhelds, and the Switch version offers a similar experience – it even has you interacting with the screen using a stylus. But it also adds in new ideas, such as Joy-Con IR motion controls. For example, there is a rock, paper, scissors game where you hold the Joy-Con, another where you count fingers with motion controls, and another where you must pass the Joy-Con to a friend in remembering games. Obviously, this is not about action and adventure, but it’s surprisingly fun and your parents won’t mind you playing.

GAMESTA VERDICT: SMARTER GAMING

SWITCH, PS4, IOS, ANDROID

FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: REMASTERED If you love your RPGs, then you know the Final Fantasy series. For three decades it has been wowing gamers and not just through its main series. This spin-off title came out on GameCube back in 2004 and brought with it co-op play. A caravan is travelling through the world finding magic crystals and then giving them to towns so that can protect themselves from evil. Unlike the main games in the series, it takes an isometric view of the battlefield, offering real-time combat and puzzle-solving mixed in with cinematic story sequences. All these years later, the game has received a much-needed remaster, adding new visuals and audios, a much more accessible multiplayer experience, and even new content in the form of fresh bosses and dungeons. It still looks old-school, but this remains a hidden gem in the Final Fantasy series and it’s great to have it back.

DID YOU KNOW GAMESTA VERDICT: TRUCK LIFE

A remake of classic entry Final Fantasy VII is coming to PS4 in March.

WE COVERED A COUPLE OF COOL INDIES IN OUR PS4 SECTION, BUT THERE’S PLENTY MORE TO DISCOVER.

CHILDREN OF MORTA (PC, XBO, PS4, Switch) This classic hack ‘n’ slash dungeon crawler stars a family of heroes who guard Mount Morta. When it becomes invested by monsters, the family must venture into the mountain’s randomly generated dungeons to try and return it to peace. wl, it’s cool to see how the story progresses mily home. And it’s awesome how there are plenty of upgrades and abilities to find. an get a bit samey after a while, couch co-op makes up for it.

RK KSIDERS: SIDERS: G GENESIS ENESIS (PS4, Switch, PC, X The excellent 3D action s Darksiders has been converted int top-down hack ‘n’ slasher in this spin-off. eep ng e great attention to detail, super-fast combat, deep item and inventory management and comic-book style, but shifting the gameplay, works a treat. Whether you are riding on horseback or fighting on your feet, there is a sense of scale and wonder in this world we just love.

LONELY L ONELY M MOUNTAIN OUNTAIN (PS4, Switch, PC, XBO) For a change of pace, how about tearing down gorgeous mountain sides from the seat of a push bike? The controls are simple, but he tracks wind through dangerous obstacles, cliffs and wildlife, making it challenging in all the right ways. Your goal is to get down the mountain with the best time, and risky shortcuts tease you into trying new routes. It’s all physics-based, so the way your bike moves down the hill feels different each time. If you like the Trials series, you’ll love this. It’s stacks of fun!

the centre of the map and look for the cracked stone door. Use Force Push to smash it open and jump down into the imperial station. Head to the left of the centre piston and follow the path until you can climb a wall. At the top you will find a workbench and the Scomp Link.

TESLA

CYBERTRUCK

WHEN SCI-FI GOES OFF-ROAD!

W

e were warned. Tesla boss Elon Musk hinted that his new toy will look like nothing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen before, and boy was he right. Many thought it was a joke, but the 2020 Tesla Cybertruck, with its super sharp, yet boring angular design is the real deal! The launch in Los Angeles shocked those in attendance, the media, and the Twitterverse!

Complete with a 2 metre long cargo bed and a six-passenger crew-cab, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost 6 metres in total length, which puts it up there with other big boy pickups.

It will come with 1, 2, or 3 electric motors, with rear and all-wheel-drive. The base model will hit 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds (quicker than a VW Amarok), and tow up to 3400 kg; the two-motor variant will reach 100 in 4.5 seconds (quicker than a VW Golf), and tow 4535 kg; while the three-motor model will hit 10 in 2.9 seconds (quicker than a Porsche 911) and pull 6350 kg. Range will vary from 400 to 800 km.

All versions will come with adaptive air suspension so the monster has a low ride at freeway speeds to better

cut through the air, and killer ground clearance when heading off-road!

The clever tailgate has a slide-out tray that doubles as a ramp to load up motorbikes, quads, or jet skis. To help, the rear suspension drops automatically as the tailgate opens!

Its front light bar and roof bar are in your face, and its high waistline adds an extra Mad Max dimension to the exterior, while the triangular cab is more at home on Mars than a Bunnings car park!

CRUISE CONTROL

Musk claimed that the truck is bulletproof thanks to the 3mm thick cold-rolled stainless-steel alloy used in the exoskeleton, developed for SpaceX’s Starship rocket.

The glass is armoured too, though two on-stage demos of the window’s strength went wrong - they broke when a big ball was thrown at them! Perhaps they should market it as ‘kinda’ bulletproof!

The proportions and design overall are a bit meh and awkward, but Tesla is going for something futuristic and out there. It won’t appeal to

your typical truckies, but it could create a new segment of fanboys who love a good electric, stainless steel off-roader!

Already 250,000 people worldwide have signed up to order one of their own. In Australia they will be released in approximately 2022 – with pricing starting at $58,990!

WWE

Guess who KRASH caught up with in the locker room at the WWE Live tour? That’s right, Australia’s own Superstar Tag Team

— The IIconics…

KRASH: How does it feel to see so many fans, even male fans, proudly wearing The IIconics T-shirt and doing The IIconics pose on Twitter?

THE IICONICS: It’s really special. We love being tagged in that type of stuff. It makes us smile that they’ve chosen to support us.

We appreciate every one of those fans. We try to highlight the fans who go out of

their way on our social media because they’re supporting us so we want to support them too. It’s amazing to see men supporting us because we are two females, and it’s amazing to see females supporting us because we want to empower them. And it’s awesome to see kids supporting us because that just reminds us of when we were young looking up to our favourite WWE Superstars.

by Lance Storm Billie Kay was so excited to meet The Rock she cried

KRASH: Do you feel like you have a second family with the WWE Universe?

THE IICONICS: The locker rooms are amazing and we love how embraced we are.

Everyone knowns when you see one of us, you see the other — we’re a package deal. And if they see one of us without the other, their first question is where is the other one. We work with a lot of cool people and we’re luck y to have them in our lives. We were thinking the other day, just on this tour, how we love being home and showing all of our friends our home.

Our life is just wild.

KRASH: Being Aussies, we have our own sayings — in the locker room do

people get confused about what you’re saying?

THE IICONICS: A lot of the time! It can be very frustrating because to us it’s just common sense but to them, they have no idea what we’re saying. We’ve been in America for five years but we still get people looking at us confused.

The Aussie accent is a particular one and it can be hard to understand.

One time we were asking for a ‘dark’ spray tan and they thought we were saying ‘duck’.

We were dumbfounded by that. Why would we want a duck spray tan?!

KRASH: What Aussie goodies do you pack in your luggage to take back to America?

THE IICONICS: TimTams, Mint Slices, Shapes, Red Rock Deli chips and if we could take a mud cake home we would.

sense of humour or she ure has a sure Mot eaky flowers. You won’t created th wou find any of these exotic varieties at your local florist.

BLEEDING TOOTH FUNGUS This tooth fairy’s nightmare looks kind of like a wad of chewing gum that leaks blood.

Also known as the devil’s tooth, the Bleeding Tooth Fungus’ ugly ooze has antibacterial properties, kinda like nature’s penicillin. All you have to do is lick it. Um, you first... Right behind ya…

CHINESE BATFLO There’s a good reason Batm man strikes s fear into the hearts of bad g guys. Bats are ugly. Very ugly. Just liike these Chinese Black Batflowers. As if they weren’t ugly enough already y, they have extra tentacles too just to o be sure.

CEDAR-APPLE RUST FUNGUS It looks like a piece of rotting fruit giving birth to a family of worms and we suspect it doesn’t taste any better either. Cedarapple Rust Fungus is guaranteed to freak out anyone who sees it in your lunch box.

FREAK OUT

CORPSE FLOWER Titan arum (also known the Corpse Flower) is a giant rainforest plant that smells like a cross between rotting flesh and mouldy cheese. That doesn’t stop visitors from flocking to its presence to take a whiff though. The huge (up to three metres tall), rare and famously putrid Indonesian flower uses flies instead of bees to spread its sticky pollen. It only stays open for 24 to 48 hours before it collapses on itself. Perhaps from its own stench?

DOLL''S EYES C’mon, who the eyeballs C’ h pulled ll d all ll th b ll outt off all their sister’s Bratz dolls? Huh, that’s a plant?

Reaaaally? While they look just like eyeballs on bloody stalks, tied together by their stems, Doll’s Eyes are actually flowering plants. Oh and just in case you were actually thinking of eating the berries, or ‘eyeballs’, we should warn you that doing so can lead to cardiac arrest and death.

HEMLOCK It doesn’t deadly butt d don’t ’t llook kd dl b ’t llett tthat h t fool you. Hemlock is one of the most famous poisonous plants in history. When consumed it causes stomach pains, vomiting and progressive paralysis of the central nervous system. Also known as devil’s porridge, it was used to execute the philosopher Socrates, who was sentenced to drink its liquid for failing to acknowledge his city’s gods.

US AP The Venus Fly Trap is covered in ultra-sensitive fine hairs that dettect the res e ence of everyt m ants to spiders. Tr rigger the e hairs and snap! The t hu ut in less ckon than a second. We rec ec that’s whe e got the idea for tthose des eser rt monsters Wa that slowly y eat anyone yon one unlucky e enough to s ray into st o the pit.

ORPHIUM FLOWER Talk about fussy. The orphium flower from South Africa will only releases its pollen when it feels the vibration provided by the note ‘middle C’. A bee’s wings have to change frequency to vibrate at middle C if they want the flower’s goodies.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME

k out these 100% REAL stories!

Geez KRASH Headz. You are one crazy bunch! Chec

SHAME OF THE MONTH hen I was at school camp in year three, I really needed to go to the toilet, so I left the hall where everyone was having lunch and went to do a quick poo.

After I sat down I realised the door didn’t have a lock, but I thought I would be alright since I was going to be quick. But it turned out that my poo was very big, very smelly and it took very long squeeze it out. To make matters worse, the toilets weren’t labelled male and female and after a few minutes I heard a girl coming.

I tried whistling so they knew somone was in the toilet but she opened the door and saw my undies!!! Even worse, when I finished, a teacher came in and since the stink hung around, he congratulated me on my impressive poo and said I should get a special award.

How embarrasing!

When we I got back to lunch the girl had told EVERYONE! MEGA SHAME!!!

nce I had to do a speech in front of the whole school.

I accidently dropped the mic behind me while I was trying to pick it up I did a massive FART!!!

Everyone heard it. My mates called me fart boy for ages.

Sooooo embarrassing. Jesiah

n my class I was talking to my girlfriend. Then my friend did a fart when I was drinking my water and I started to laugh and the water went out of my nose and my girlfriend dumped me in front of the whole class!

Aaron

I

once peed my pants in gym while climbing the ladder because it was too high for me.

I’m scared of heights and it was haunting me for the rest of the time I was at that school which was only about 17 days because of how embarrassing it was.

Bruce

I

ne day in P.E. we were playing soccer and my mate kicked the ball really high. I looked up and all I saw was some white poo going straight for my face. SHAME. But the worst part about it was while I couldn’t see this kid pulled down my pants in front of my whole class. Soooooo embarrassing Pete
