SUP DUDES? How’s it been? I’m 12 AND IN LOVE WITH YOUR MAG. It’s so cool. A little while ago I only read Shame Shack and Komix but now I love all of it. I have a suggestion for KRASH Klash - Minecraft Steve should go up against Iron Man. Now that would be a show. I have a good joke. It goes like this: Question: What’s brown and sticky? Answer: A STICK. Haha. OK, bye. Colby DEAR KRASH, my name is Kelly and I collect your mags whenever I can. I always try to hide them in my mum’s shopping. My two favourite sections are Shame Shack and KRASH Klash. I would be so stoked if I got to read this in your AWSM mag. From your devoted fan,…

The highly anticipated Netflix TV series Sonic Prime has secured a July 13 release date. SONY ANNOUNCED A NEW HANDHELD, KIND OF…. One of the big surprise announcements this month came from Sony. It is working on device codenamed Project Q, which looks like a DualSense Controller – complete with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback - that has been split in half by an 8” HD screen. It looks like a handheld, but it’s not. It only streams games from your local PS5 console. So, it allows you to play your PS5 even if someone else is already using the TV. While that is a cool idea, it’s nowhere near as cool as a Nintendo Switch, which you can take anywhere. And it’s a bit lame they went for a…

FOAMSTARS PS5, PS4 Square Enix is turning away from its usual RPG fare in its next title, instead delivering a 4v4 multiplayer shooter involving foam. Yes, foam. Similar to the way ink is used in the Splatoon series, Foamstars has you using over-the-top-weapons to coat enemies and the world in coloured foam. This can then be surfed on for extra speed, used as a shield, or climbed on to reach greater heights. MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN 2 PS5 A new gameplay reveal for the Spider-Man sequel out October 20 has landed. We know that Kraven the Hunter is the big bad. He has landed in New York targeting the likes of Spider-Man and Lizard. Peter Parker has been infected by Venom’s symbiotes, giving him tentacle-based moves in combat. The game switches between…

SHAME OF THE MONTH When I was at my first grade parent teacher interview I had the most embarrassing moment of my life. My mum and I were waiting outside my classroom with some other parents and students. My Dad works was right near the school, but he was running late. Mum kept checking her phone and getting annoyed because it was nearly my turn but just then my Dad came running down the hallway apologising. He was super sweaty and just as he sat down to catch his breath my teacher poked her head out the door. She was just about to call my name when she scrunched up her nose and asked what that horrid smell was, apologising to the parents saying that someone must’ve thrown something disgusting…

www.krash.com.au Australia/NZ August - 2023 Edition 235 SPIDER BEATS BAT MYSTERIOUS MEGA MUSHROOMS A cluster of giant mushrooms have appeared at a nature reserve in regional South Australia. Suspected to be large boletes or Phlebopus marginatus, the fungi are considered Australia’s largest terrestrial mushroom and often appear after rainfall.

Ecologist, author, and environmental photographer, Alison Pouliot, explained there were differing views on whether Phlebopus marginatus could be eaten, stating, “Some people have reported eating them, while others have reported gastrointestinal…

WWE KRASH: How did you break your ankle? AJ Styles: I was taking a backdrop and in that couple of seconds of landing my ankle turned in on me and snapped. I knew right when I did it, it was one of those things, it was like ‘I’m done’. It’s crazy how being in a boot for a while you forget how are certain things we take for granted – like walking and running and jumping! KRASH: What have you made of Seth Rollins and his character evolution while you’ve been out with injury? AJ Styles: There are layers to Seth’s character and that’s what you want in wrestling, it’s longevity. He’s doing it unbelievably well right now.

CHRISTIAN THE LION AND HUMANS JOHN AND ANTHONY We’ve heard of some pretty weird pets - ferrets, pythons, axolotls - but a lion?! No kidding. Aussie guys John Rendall and Anthony Bourke bought Christian the lion cub from Harrods department store in London. They kept him in the basement of their furniture store and took him to the seaside for exercise. But pretty soon he grew too big to keep and they gave him to a conservationist who reintroduced Christian to the wild. Letting Christian go back to the wild was the right thing to do but the guys missed their best friend. They wondered - would he remember them? So they went to visit Christian a year later.
