I visited Disneyland dozens of times while growing up in Southern California. It was the #1 destination for our visitors, school trips, and even my high school marching band. While the park has grown and evolved over the years, two rides at the amusement park have...
There's a certain vibe that seems to be the foundation of most all Asian martial arts movies. They're set in an unspecified historic era where there are no guns and no electricity and it's generally a sullen martial arts hero stepping up to protect an innocent peasant...
We at Abducktion Labs Intergalactic love ducks. Not only that, but our shareholders really adore ducks too. That's why it's your job as the newest unpaid intern to figure out how to rearrange all the ducks in your little pond into specific formations so you can...
Car designers are always seeking to find a balance between features and cost. Sometimes the upgrades can be slipped into the Options category, allowing drivers the chance to upgrade on a per-vehicle basis, and other times they can become a new, higher trim level. In...
The history of humanity has been all too intertwined with us inventing bigger and more efficient ways to kill each other. Spears beget bows and arrows, gunpowder begets cannonballs and artillery, along with rifles and pistols. Knives became swords, and little bombs...
One of the aspects of being a car writer that most people don't realize is that we are loaned so many high-end luxury vehicles or tricked-out vehicles with every possible option that it's easy for us to get out of touch with the world of lower-cost and entry-level...
Hurricanes. The bane of everyone's existence in Louisiana, almost as annoying as the omnipresent alligators. The weather's awful and a hurricane's about to flood the tiny town of Lutree. As luck would have it, there's a prison bus passing by town with five...
Seems like only a few days ago I was driving the 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 so it was really interesting to get behind the wheel of the 2023 Range Rover Sport SE: In many ways, they're the same vehicle. In fact, Range Rover is a brand of Land Rover, which itself is...
I subscribed to MoviePass when it first showed up and found it a fantastic deal. For $35 I could literally go see up to 30 movies each month. Catch one each week and it was paying for itself! I wrote about it back in 2014 in glowing terms: MoviePass, A Film Lover's...
Mr. Phelps (Peter Graves) might be long since past his prime as the head of 1960s TV hit "Mission: Impossible" but the basic concept of a secret team surreptitiously funded by the government and tasked with the missions that no other agency could accomplish remains....
Let's face it, most competitive games come down to combat in one form or another. Whether it's troops moving into your territory, aliens vying for prime planets, or animals battling over the best den in the meadow, there's something fundamentally satisfying about...
Land Rover was founded in 1947 by Maurice Wilks, who apocryphally sketched out the design for this ultimate off-road vehicle on the sands of a Welsh beach. It grew into a famously tough beast of a vehicle that could master any terrain it encountered, from Sub-Saharan...
It's hard to imagine a meal that had more importance for the history of the Western world than the Last Supper with Jesus of Nazareth and his apostles, including the turncoat Judas. It was literally the last meal for Jesus because he was arrested by the Romans the...
I was driving the Infiniti QX60 mid-size Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) only a few weeks ago, so getting into the bigger QX80 was a bit of a deja vu moment. Same car, same design, just the supersized version of the SUV. But it turns out that the 2023 Infiniti QX80 has...
After spending two eventful days in the Rocky Mountains as part of the Rocky Mountain Driving Experience (RMDE), I had hundreds of photos from the event. I drove about twenty vehicles along some of the most beautiful roads in the world. Day one's writeup is already...
