    Extreme sports games have been largely ignored this last generation but that won’t stop Ubisoft from coming out with a game that might invigorate excitement. While we have seen remasters of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise, it was still a remaster and not a new game in the series. However, since I was a kid, I always wanted a game that would emulate the X-Games in video game format and we may finally have one in the firm of Riders Republic.

    I playtested the beta before it went live for everyone and played the game again during the public beta to figure out how I feel about the game. At first, I wasn’t really into it simply because I did not know what to expect. But the more I played the game, the more it felt like an X-Games simulator I’ve always wanted. Riders Republic is Ubisoft’s spiritual successor to Steep but it goes far beyond that.

    What I LikedInstead of being focused on one sport, Riders Republic explores almost every sport you may have seen in X-Games. From mountain biking to skiing to snowboarding, the game offers almost every extreme sport we know. The game is set in an open world environment that has been weaved together using America’s four national parks. Yosemite, Zion, Grand Teton and Bryce Canyon are all represented as different regions where you get to take part in different sports activities. In the playtest, I was limited to checking out mountain biking, ski/snowboard and rocket wing which was fun to test out.

    The game can be played in either first-person or third-person camera angles. If you want immersion, I would recommend the first-person mode and when you feel like competing, the third-person mode is better suited. While mountain-biking, I genuinely felt the same stomach-drop feeling you get when riding a roller coaster in first-person mode. The feeling would mostly come when riding down steep slopes during races. The same can be said about skiing and snowboarding. I felt it the most while I went down a slope at full speed.

    The game can be played as a solo experience, however it is highly recommended you play with friends. You will experience the most amount of fun during Mass Races where every hour you have to take part in a multi-leg race. You will find yourself changing sports with each leg of the race where you won’t even notice the transitions. It also encourages players to master each different sport to get a competitive advantage in races.

    But the game is not only about races though. Much like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, you are also required to perform tricks so that you can stack points during races. Some races are solely meant for doing tricks and getting the highest score possible. Having said that, I found the controls to be a bit harder to remember during trick courses as I had not spent enough time with the game.
    What I Didn’t LikeSince Riders Republic is based in a large open-world, it blatantly copies concepts from the Forza Horizon series. There’s a festival going on just like the Forza series where you need to dominate every race to become the ultimate rider. While the concept makes sense for the game, it lacked originality. I would rather have Riders Republic copy the X-Games format instead of a generic sports festival that has already been done countless times. The concept lacked imagination and I was already bored of it since I’ve already experienced it in the Forza games before.

    The game also borrows the time-rewind mechanic from the Forza games as well. The only difference here is that when using the feature you do lose time progress and your position in the race as well. Having said that, the rewind feature needs to give more control to the player as there were times I found myself stuck to a tree and unable to get back on track. Sometimes, it would take far more time than you intended and in turn, cost you valuable time.

    Lastly, I wasn’t a big fan of the character models the game uses for NPCs and even your character. They felt very bland and worse than other Ubisoft games. Each NPC looked bland to me and somehow I couldn’t help but compare it with other games like Watch Dogs. Each NPC lacked detail and even the voice acting was not at par with other AAA games. It’s the only thing that broke the immersion for me in a game that looks stunning otherwise.
    I also didn’t like the fact that the game did not feature any form of skateboarding or rollerblading. Sure, it may not be an extreme sport that you would normally see in national parks. But, since this is a make-believe game anyway, I don’t see any reason why a skate park couldn’t have been featured in this vast world.
    While I do have problems with the game, apart from the rewind feature none of them is a dealbreaker. I’m still excited to play this game and explore different races whenever I’m bored or have nothing to play. It’s the type of game you play casually but it can also get competitive for the hardcore players.

    Netflix is back with the fifth season of its popular crime thriller drama Money Heist and people are loving the twists and the drama. As soon as Netflix dropped the show on the streaming platform, people started streaming it and sharing their reactions on Twitter. From spoilers to memes, Twitter was flooded with how people perceived the show.

    Some fans have noticed and dug out an Indian connection too. If we tell you that season 5 has a cameo appearance of Indian celebs Virat Kohli and Bobby Deol, you wouldn’t surely trust us. Well, we have proof. Also, there’s a spoiler in the next paragraph.
    In one of the sequences, a group of officials is seen attempting to nab Marseille who was trying to escape. After landing, he vanishes before the officials show up. One of the officers, who was questioning a farmer standing close to the location, reminded fans of Bobby Deol and Virat Kohli.
    People flooded Twitter with screengrabs of this particular sequence and we too are stunned by the uncanny similarities. The character does look like he has the facial features of both the Indian celebs.

    As a part of Money Heist promotions, MensXP got to talk to Pedro aka Berlin. 

    He told us how his life has changed after Money Heist. He said, “There is a positive side and a difficult side. I am receiving new opportunities, meeting new people, and talking to so many amazing people across the globe from different countries. The access to new lines of conversations and the level of exposure I get is sometimes tough. Since many people recognize me, I can’t travel to many countries just like that without being recognized. It’s a challenge on some days. I am 50 years old and I love all this, and so I try my best to find a balance between all of this. However, I obviously love it all.”
    Have you seen the show yet? Let us know in the comments section below.

    The week or month-long pursuit, heartfelt conversations, late-night calls and all those electric date nights have turned out well and you’re finally ready to take that next step in your relationship with your partner. 
    The mood is set, adrenaline pumping and all that is left is for you to do is make magic between the sheets.

    But before you get to the main act, there might be a few preparations you’d need to make, especially since the lack of them might just cost you and your partner a good time.

    You see, whether you’d be doing this for the first time or have already mastered the art of seduction in bed, when it comes to ***, you can never be too careful. Especially in the moments leading up to the act, which is when you must remember to do a few things that will only help you sail the ship smoother.
    1. Get Clear Consent © iStock
    When it comes to consent (giving or taking), go big. 

    Make sure that your partner is really ready and up for it and has expressed a desire to get down and dirty with you. Because the last thing you want is to make your partner feel uncomfortable.
    Try to be on the same page about where you want things to lead and be mindful of what your bae does or doesn’t wish to do in bed.
    2. Make Sure You’re Infection Free © iStock
    It’s important, especially if you’ve been sexually active, to make sure that you don’t have a UTI or any other sexually transmitted disease that might pass on to your date and put both your health at risk. 

    Which is why, it’s best to keep getting yourself tested for any STDs every few months to make sure that your sexual health is never compromised. 
    3. Keep The Condoms In Reach © iStock
    Most of the time, when things take momentum in the bedroom, couples let go of using the protection because they either don’t have it in the first place or fear that going to get it might cost them a hard-on. 

    Hence, it’s always a good idea to keep the condoms handy or in reach so that when the heat starts to turn up, you don’t have to run around to find them. The back pocket of your jeans or simply the side-table is a good place to stack it.
    4. Keep Some Lube Handy, Just In Case... © iStock
    Whether or not you and your SO like to use lube during intercourse, it is a bedside essential that must never be compromised, on the off chance that your woman isn’t able to get the waterworks running. 

    And so, to not lose a night of fun and passion to an unsolicited drought, make sure you have lube ready and stashed before you go in for the kill. Because this is one slope, that is better when slippery. 
    5. Clean Up Good © iStock
    And that isn’t just limited to your house or your room, but also your body and your person. Before you get ready to get frisky, take a nice, long shower and clean up well. 

    You’re going to be in direct contact with your partner and their body and so, it becomes imperative for you to check your breath, smell nice and indulge with a clean body to leave out any inhibitions. After all, you would neither want to encounter nor present with dirty genitals, would you?
    6. Empty That Bladder © iStock
    Another tip to keep in mind before threading the needle is to take a quick trip to the loo and emptying out the bladder so there is no urgent evacuation in the middle of the act for you two. 

    Besides, it’s a good tip to keep in mind to pee before and after *** to also avoid any chance of contracting a yeast infection.

    Romantic movies in Bollywood have usually been restricted to a classic formula of boy meets girl, love blossoms, speed breakers emerge, fighting sequences, and then, love conquers all. Sure, everyone loves a classic romantic movie where the plot goes in the exact direction you expect it to move, but sometimes some movies are like a breath of fresh air which give a genre a completely new definition. Here are 6 underrated movies which everyone must watch and sit back to enjoy the benign pleasure of love:

    1. Socha Na ThaThis movie is wonderful for two reasons. Firstly, it's Imtiaz Ali's debut movie which was one of the few movies back in 2004 that paved the way for fresh content to come. Secondly, the very easy storyline which is somewhat like an old wine in a new bottle but the entire act of how the story is played out is wonderfully done. It is simple and sweet in nature and not one dull moment. Bonus points for the music.


    2. ManmarziyaanThe latest on this list in terms of release date, this one is a heart-tucking tale of heartbreak, second love in a layered style of storytelling. The background placement of music is so perfectly aligned with the situation, that as an audience, you are bound to emote along with the character. This movie explains that it is okay to mourn a love that no longer serves your heart and move on for your own good.

    3. Cheeni KumThis movie got some mixed reaction when it was released over a decade ago but if it were to release in 2021, maybe it would serve an entirely different set of audience. A very mature tale of love, this film has its own bittersweet moments. The movie follows a 60+ chef who is in love with a woman in her 30s and realises that her father is six years younger to him.
     
    4. KareebThis love story transports me into the time when multiplexes didn’t exist, and you had to cajole your parents into buying a ticket at a theatre, standing in a queue. Kareeb released around 1998 when love stories like DDLJ and Dil Toh Pagal Hai were already declared hits. This movie is beautiful in its simplicity. Simple characters navigating life through common man problems. Watch this if you’ve never watched it before because it will surely make you smile.

    5. Hasee Toh PhaseeBy now, you’ve probably realised all movies on this list have a strong backbone of music to complement the storyline. This one is about a self-proclaimed nerd Meeta who falls for her sister’s fiance. They don’t realise that the ‘care’ they have for each other has converted into love until it's too late. The ending is a happy one but not before the lyrics of Man Chala make you shed a tear or two.

    6. Luv Shuv Te Chicken KhuranaPrepare to go on a rollercoaster ride of emotions with this movie, and while a lot of people found it to be ‘odd’ the first time they watched it, this movie is a hidden gem. Trust our choice and simply dive into it. You will finish it with a lingering smile and before you realise, the songs will have grown on you.

    What you wear is your choice, and no one can stop you from doing that. Many women are now shedding and eliminating their inhibitions and wearing clothes that were once considered a sign of 'exposing'. In a new incident, a woman was recently caught on camera at the Miami airport. You might be wondering what's so unique about a woman at the airport. Well, unlike most of us, this woman was seen wearing just a bikini and face mask.

    This clip was posted by a page called 'Humans of Spirit Airlines' on Instagram. The caption was hilarious as it read, "When you have a pool party at noon and a flight at 4pm". The anonymous woman is seen flaunting her body with pride in an olive green bikini and a face mask, which stands as a mandate with Federal Aviation Administration. This one video has taken social media and the internet by storm. It has been viewed more than 80,000 times now, and many people came forward with funny responses. A few also surmised that she would not have been allowed on the plane as the security wouldn't let her through.
    One user also said, "If she made it on the plane like that she'll be hating life because planes get a lot cooler than airports do."

    Another user also said, "At least she has her mask on! That's all that matters!" and one more quipped, "Catch flights not feelings!"

    It's unclear, though, if the woman was actually allowed to board the plane or not. Spirit Airlines spoke to NY Post and said that it's unverified as often accounts give false information on videos and images. He also said this video could have been from any time and place and doesn't have 'identifying characteristics'. If the woman could board the plane, the spokesperson said that it would have violated the airline's policy as it prevents passengers from boarding in clothes if they are inadequate or seen in clothes that are "lewd, obscene or offensive in nature".

    The Spirits Airlines' Contract of Carriage reads, "A guest shall not be permitted to board the aircraft or may be required to leave an aircraft if that guest … is barefoot or inadequately clothed, or whose clothing is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature."
    This was published in summer earlier this year.

    Saif Ali Khan is not on social media platforms but often shares his views and opinions during interviews. 

    Unfortunately, he has also been trolled several times for various reasons. Despite that, Saif remains unaffected and knows a way to tackle online trolls. 
    Even his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan is no stranger to such remarks on the internet. The couple recently garnered hate for keeping their son's name, Jehangir (Jeh) I mean, no matter what you do, people leave no chance to sling mud at others.

    In a recent interview, Saif spoke about trolling and also mentioned the time he would look himself up every now and then, which would spoil his mood. This was when Kareena flat out asked him to stop reading such things about himself on the internet. 

    He said in the interview, "I don't read (troll comments). I am off it and it is really cool. Because it also helps me focus. It can get addictive, you know. I can google myself and start checking out what I said when and then I read something I don't like and it spoils my mood. My wife told me, ‘you know what just stop doing it’. I had stopped for a while and I really started saying what do I do."

    He further added that social media is dangerous, and we don't get to know who is talking to whom. In addition, he said, "People throw a lot of violence around and stuff like that. So it can get a little wrong.”
    Even Arjun Kapoor, who was being interviewed with Saif, said, "It’s the same people who follow you so it is very confusing. It’s interesting that they actually just want attention. I feel social media is just one part of my life as a human being, as an actor, as a star.”
    While Saif is not on social media, Kareena made her debut on Instagram just last year. She often takes to her feed and shares endorsement deals and pictures with her family.
    Dear Saif,

    You were flop for so many years, despite that you keep getting opportunities unless you did Dil Chahta Hai , All your films were sheer crap you keep getting work because you belong to the fraternity.#SaifAliKhan pic.twitter.com/nAmdiPhNWW
    — नादान परिंदा (@ThatSaneGuy_) July 2, 2020
    Saif was also trolled during Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death. 
    There was a massive debate on nepotism in the industry when Saif opened up about being the 'victim of nepotism'. This, however, didn't go well with the audience.

    On the work front, Saif will be seen in Bhoot Police starring Arjun Kapoor, Fatima Shaikh, Yami Gautam, Jacqueline Fernandez and several others. 

    Kareena, on the other hand, would be seen in Laal Singh Chaddha.

    Are you dissatisfied with your arms not growing in size despite lifting heavy? Do you keep looking at Hrithik Roshan's pictures and wonder how to get bigger arms, strong and muscular, just like him? Well you're not the only one. Every man who is relatively new to the gym and hasn't yet figured out the trick to grow bigger arms, goes through the same.
    View this post on InstagramBut worry not, for we've got your back (and arms)! 
    How To Grow Bigger ArmsGrowing bigger arms is a balancing act that oscillates between proper workout, proper form, consistency, rest, and proper nutrition. While everyone knows the basics in theory, there are some mistakes that are not letting you grow your arms as big, strong, and muscular like Hrithik Roshan's guns.
    Why Are Your Arms Not Growing?1. Focusing Only On Biceps

    Everyone loves that bicep pump, but will focusing only on biceps make your arms grow bigger? The answer is a resounding 'NO'. When it comes to your arm's musculature, the triceps make up almost 70% of the muscle mass. The remaining 30% is built by biceps. Naturally, if you want bigger arms, the focus should be more on triceps than on biceps.

    2. Not Enough Rest

    Muscle doesn't grow during exercise, but breaks down instead. Muscle repairs and grows in size during rest. Hence, overtraining without enough rest can be a big reason why your arms aren't growing bigger and stronger.

    3. Lifting Too Much Weight

    Even though popular belief states 'the heavier you lift, the bigger you get', that's not entirely true. Ego lifting with wrong posture, while using swinging motions and the body's momentum, will take you nowhere. The muscle fibres need to be engaged with careful voluntary targeting, failing which you will never be able to grow your arms.

    4. Improper Nutrition

    Even if you're killing it in the gym, the arm muscles will only grow when your nutrition is on point. To begin with, you need to have 1.6-2.2 gm of protein per kg of your body weight. Plus, if specifically muscle building is the key (and not fat loss), going on a calorie surplus is more beneficial. Not focusing on nutrition can be lethal for your gains.

    5. Curling/Lifting Too Fast

    Sometimes, when the weight is too much, one tends to do super fast curls for convenience - that coupled with body momentum, completely renders your workouts ineffective. Slower, targeted curls and lifts, while maintaining mind-muscle connection, are going to ensure that your arms grow faster.

    6. Targeting Forearms/Shoulders Instead Of Arms
    © iStock
    During multiple arm lifts, especially while training biceps, one tends to curl their forearms and lift using their shoulder and back strength in order to adjust heavy weights. That will only make you lift the weight, but will not contribute to targeted muscle growth. Postural corrections may be required if you're suffering from that while training arms in the gym.

    These are some of the reasons that may be responsible for your arms not growing. If you want to grow your arms faster, take note of these points, act on them, and see your guns grow as big and strong as Hrithik Roshan's. All the best!
