What is the SUPERDOLLAR and why is it so strong? We have recently read a lot of news about the strength of the dollar worldwide; The resounding fall of the Euro and other currencies, or the tremendous pump that the ruble made when Putin announced that he was going to support it with metals. But what is happening in the world, that all the markets are so unruly?...

With the official release of Overwatch 2 to the public, the first game’s servers have shut down, ending the long, tumultuous life of the original Overwatch. Although some items will be carried to the next game, we can’t help but look back at the original game and compare it to the ‘successor’. Overwatch 2, according to most, is really the same game as the original, just with changes on various gameplay aspects, UI, character reworks (both visually and gameplay), and the addition of a few more heroes....

Citroen’s newest concept car is an electric pickup truck that’s made from recycled materials. Yes, it is a truck. Despite its SUV-like shape and proportions, the EV is made with simplification and removing unnecessary features in mind, which doesn’t exactly convey much of that. The name is a wordplay of ‘all E(lectric)’, which does give off some sense of cuteness that doesn’t exactly fit its bulky exterior....

In the wake of EVs, most manufacturers are quick to hop on the trend, while others are pressured by regulations.

While older BMWs and Mercedes Benz models are used as beaters or have their rear fenders inward owed to being a drift missile everywhere else, Southeast Asia’s share of them are more or less the same; they are either treated with utmost respect by their owners, or sitting in a driveway in wait for a new owner.

There’s a myriad of reasons why new cars continue to fill the roads today; the desire for a newer model, an actual need to switch, thinking that it’s safer, etc. Frankly, there’s nothing wrong with it, knowing that the governments worldwide preferred it that way, with programs in select countries where people could trade in their jalopies for something newer. The general mindset confirms that newer is better....

If you’re a player of the first-person shooter game Team Fortress 2, then you would know of . And for those who don’t, Team Fortress 2 is a critically-acclaimed game developed by Valve. Released in 2007, the game has accumulated an extremely loyal playerbase, who has continuously attempted to get the company to remove the bots ingame. These bots are not actually part of the game; rather, a bunch of player-hosted accounts that ruin matches by one-shotting the opponents, micspamming, posting offensive remarks, etc....

Surfing the used car market for obscure finds is a pastime that, more often than not, leads to models that are at least a decade old. A refreshing reminder of how well some cars age, the designs capable of convincing they weren’t unveiled alongside the new millennium.

Rockstar Games is seemingly implying that GTA Online, one of their most successful games, will soon stop receiving updates. The multiplayer version of GTA V, which has received more than 40 DLCs all for free, first opened in 2013, with players unable to access servers due to the number of players attempting to go online. Over the years, Rockstar has added a massive amount of content including vehicles, missions, clothing, and story for GTA Online....

Italian supercar manufacturer Pagani recently unveiled their newest model. And no, this isn’t another limited variant of their existing models, rather, an entirely new car.

Step inside any new car and you’ll likely find that there isn’t a traditional handbrake. In its place is a switch identical to the door window controls, albeit slightly larger. The electronic parking brake, a feature once regarded as a luxury, had made its way into new cars. Other than its main feature, it helps when starting off and incline, working in tandem with the hill-start assist, another common feature in today’s vehicles....

If you’ve ever played the first Need for Speed: Underground, you may recall that a base Mitsubishi Lancer was available in the game. Amidst proper sports cars like the RX-7, Fairlady Z, and the S2000, you might wonder why a humble Lancer took the spot of its own Evolution brother.

(Image sourced from MF Ghost's Special PV video) The recent announcement of MF Ghost’s anime adaptation presents a conflicting case: should we, as automotive enthusiasts with interest in Japanese culture, be content after years of nothing besides Initial D; or dread what’s to come? On one hand, automotive-focused manga series don’t attract enough of an audience, let alone anime adaptations. Granted, the land of the rising sun has its own automotive subcultures relating to all things anime, but what gets people worrying is the subject itself....

(Image sourced from Hot Wheels' official NFT site) NFTs are here to stay, like it or not. Despite the sensible majority, the idea of selling jpegs and GIFs out of a template for an unpredictable value is tempting, so much so, that disregarding any logic for easy monetary gain is the only motive of buying and/or creating one.

If you were a manga reader in 2018, there’s a high chance that you’ve heard of one ‘Komi-san’. Yes, the series that blew up out of nowhere in 2018 and managed to capture millions of fans worldwide with the plot of a girl with impeccable form, cursed (not really) with the inability to properly communicate. The exposure of all the memes of a protection squad for the titular character and high hopes for an anime adaptation successfully convinced me to give it a shot....

As seemingly every government worldwide guns for electrification of land transport for the supposed reasoning of a greener and less polluting world, overambitious goals and dates of banning gas cars from ever gracing the roads have been established, with only less than a decade for some countries’ targets.
