Aching backs, stiff necks and sore shoulders—’tis the bane of all gamers’ existence since virtually forever. If you’re a gamer yourself, more often than not you’d find yourself nestled in your couch, or seat, for hours in a day. Gaming requires a lot of mental focus and hand-eye dexterity, so if your seat is old and lopsided, it can cause lots of discomfort to your body which can ultimately affect your gaming experience. If you’re looking to level up from the old computer chair, check this out—OSIM just released a two-in-one gaming chair that is not only made specifically for…

A sweat bead trickle into your eye as you shift nervously towards the entrance of the men’s clinic. Last night, you spent the whole night convincing yourself that something needed to be done—you haven’t had sex with your wife for almost a year. You simply cannot function in bed like how you used to. You discover that it’s a medical condition, and now you find yourself at the end of a queue, amidst other men, who have noticed your arrival and are stealing glances at you—they wonder what you’re here for. Looking for treatment when it comes to sexual-related ailments…

I sit, wide-eyed, staring intently at the brand new Lego set that lay before me. It harkens me back to a past age, as memories of my childhood flood through my body. I can’t tell much of what to expect from the packaging, except that this has something to do with a legend from my childhood—Super Mario. The box reads ‘For ages 6 to up’ , so this should be a breeze—I think. I take the box in my hands and slowly peel off the scotch-tape securing its lid. Out tumbles a variety of plastic satchets filled with many lego…

Can you imagine what space smells like? According to astronauts, space smells like a mixture of burnt cookies, raspberries,  and gunpowder. Yeah, we know that’s a little hard to imagine all those distinct smells coming together. And since space is probably a place that none of us will ever get to experience up close and personally in our lifetimes, we’ll never know the smell for ourselves. That is, until today. Fret not, you curious earthlings, for you can now find a perfume that smells exactly like space on Kickstarter called Eau De Space. The smell is concocted after a series…

On the bounce from Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds release last month, Microsoft has emerged with their take on the revolutionary wireless earpiece design—presenting, the Microsoft Surface Earbuds. Though some may say Microsoft is late to the game when compared to their competitors, these earbuds are the complete opposite of being left behind. The sleek product is a shining example of Microsoft’s prowess as a hardware powerhouse, and features an extremely comfortable design that leapfrogs them right into the heart of the race. Unlike most other earbuds in the market, the Surface Earbuds have an open-ear design, which makes it super…

When news of Dee Kosh’s highly-inappropriate behaviour towards underaged minors surfaced online, it shook the Internet to its core. Unsurprisingly, this was not the first time a scandal involving an influencer has gone viral. Naturally, it prompted many questions—is Dee Kosh the only one? Were there more instances of this waiting to be discovered? How far does the sexual harassment go? How much do we really know about what goes on behind the YouTube scene? Prior to the allegations brought upon by him, Dee Kosh had worked hand-in-hand on a freelance basis with famous YouTube channel Night Owl Cinematics in…

‘Tis the season for mask-wearing and sterile practices as humanity is plagued with one of the worst global pandemics in history. Unless you’re an anti-masker, all of us should be so used to going out with masks by now, we probably have more than one for each day. Though most of us look at masks from a practical point of view, there are some with an eye for fashion who go the extra mile in curating their selection of masks to fit their outfits. The piece of cloth covering our faces has become such a staple in our everyday wear,…

I sit shivering in the back seat of my Grab as I watch the raindrops patter furiously against the car’s window panes—what a perfect day for a steamy, hot spa, I thought. I am on the way to Hot Spa at Roxy Square in Katong, and although I am not really a spa kind of person, I am looking forward to it because the weather is wet and cold and this body desperately needs warmth. I have no idea what to expect. Reviews of Hot Spa on Facebook were mixed—some mentioned the obscurity of its location, others mentioned the facilities…

As a man, I don’t deny that some of us, when surrounded by other women, tend to deliberately behave in a certain way to make ourselves seem superior to the opposite gender. Perhaps it’s a natural reflex for some—a burning desire to always want to prove something to others, particularly females, in order to mask a deep-seated insecurity lying within. Or perhaps it’s a learned behaviour, one that is picked up by observing the patterns of other males. Either way, I try not to judge, for we all go through different experiences in life that shape our character, but as…

There are lots of shows on Netflix that can take you on exhilarating journeys with their intricate and elaborate storylines, but only a few can leave you with the mind blowing realisation that the narrative was actually inspired by real events. Real life is crazy, and thanks to Netflix, you can now watch some of these events being told in excellent cinematography. Such shows don’t only serve to entertain, they also allow us to learn more about the ridiculously extreme things that happen in our world. More often than not, I’ve felt compelled to do my own research after completing…

Growing up in Singapore feels like running a race sometimes—life goes by so rapidly, and we often find ourselves having little time to take in and appreciate our surroundings before they either get destroyed or replaced. Remember the old Merlion and the mosaic waterfalls at the old Sentosa? Remember the roar of Kallang Stadium or the din of the old wet markets of Geylang Serai? Those places were iconic to me as a child, but they were demolished and replaced with newer, state-of-the-art structures before the ink could even dry on the contract. It seems like wherever there’s an empty…

For most of us, when we think of prison, our only idea as to what it may look like comes mainly from Western movies and pop culture—think Prison Break or Orange Is The New Black. It’s fair to say that no one really knows what or how our prison cells look or feel like unless we have personally paid a visit or been imprisoned ourselves. There simply is not enough information about the infamous institution in Changi to go around for us to really have a clear picture of what life is like behind bars in Singapore. Lo and behold,…

Every now and then, something is invented that is so ridiculous, it’s genius—like this gaming console that is shaped like a literal boob. Targeted towards the male-centric, adult-game-loving crowd, it’s hard not to imagine the throngs of men going crazy over these, and at US$169, we think it’s the perfect cash cow. Developed by famous Japanese adult game developer Nutaku, the console is created out of silicone for a truly authentic feel. Needless to say, pressing the nipple would turn it on. The boob contains more than 200 free-to-play adult games in its mammary, with some premium ones you’d need…

If you’ve ever been told that you can’t play the piano because you have sausage fingers, don’t worry, for we’ve just found the perfect keyboard for you. This piano, made by a German YouTuber named Patrick, is literally made of sausages—and it works like a charm. To be frank, we think it’s brilliant. At one glance, you’d think someone was having a BBQ, until you spot the snaking wires sticking out from each of the sausages’ ends. The wires are plugged into a computer, where we assume sounds are assigned to each sausage via a digital software. In the YouTube…

When one thinks of the 19th Century, images of gentlemen with bushy moustaches and top hats as well as sophisticated women in tight corsets and elaborate dresses come to mind. This was the time of industrialisation, when humanity first discovered the power of steam. Photography was in its infancy, with the first ever photographic image being taken using a small, self-made camera in 1826. During this period, photographs were usually taken on thin metal sheets via a process called tintype photography. At the time, it would take 10 to 15 minutes for each photograph to be completed. As photograph technology…
