What started as a rival for Grand Theft Auto, the Saints Row series eventually found its identity as a self-aware and more humorous take on the AAA open world game. Saints Row 3 was a balanced over the top & zany action with more grounded narrative about the titular gang becoming a franchise then its weirder sequel Saints Row 4.
Now, Volition & Deep Silver are revisiting Saints Row: The Third and remastered the game to hit PC, PS4 & Xbox One on May 22nd 2020.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is shaping up to be a solid revisit for one of the series’ finest games. And judging from the footage we saw, it looks to be keeping up with the series’ penchant for open-world thrills and hijinks, all fueled by a killer soundtrack–which will remain intact for the new release.

Fast forward to 2069. What happens to the world then?
G-SHOCK Singapore has partnered with local contemporary artist, Jahan Loh to create an animated video that takes us to a future era of 2069 and how he would have perceived the state of the world.
Climate change has been the buzzword in recent years and come 2069, the world might be in dire straits should there be inadequate efforts by all to deal with the impending world crisis.
Coined “There is No Planet B”, this video is an extension of Jahan’s latest art series titled “Intergalactic Dreams” and it is a strong resonance of the adverse effects that climate change has on mankind. Jahan envisions that in the future, resources on planet earth can no longer sustain mankind and space reconnaissance troopers are dispatched to explore alternative suitable planets to inhabit.
In the video, the muse spaceman is on Planet M30 in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spherodical Galaxy- 70,000 light years from Planet Earth and he is seen trying to get back to his ship. On his wrist is the new metal-forged G-SHOCK GM-6900.
“The GM-6900 is as tough as they come, and I see it being tough enough to withstand all intergalactic climates and terrain,” says Jahan Loh
The New Metal-Forged GM-6900 This year marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic G-SHOCK DW-6900-1V, which was first released in February 1995. To commemorate this special occasion, Casio has decided to add new members to the G-SHOCK family called the GM-6900 series and featuring all-new metal bezels.
The three new GM-6900 models enshrine the hallmarks of G-SHOCK’s toughness in the all new metal bezel. The 6900 bezel bears the iconic shape of the original DW-6900 but this time, the new GM-6900 has upped the toughness ante with button guards. After a shaping process that involves approximately 20 forging stages and several cutting and polishing steps, each piece is carefully finished to achieve the characteristic 6900 bezel in metal.
The two models with black bands provide a choice of silver or gold bezels, while the red translucent band model features a black bezel. Shiny mirror and matte hairline finishes are combined in a bold bezel shape.
Thats right, its been confirmed overnight that LaMelo Ball has swooped in and bought the Illawarra Hawks in the NBL and saved them.
LaMelo Ball played 12 games for the Hawks during the 2019-2020 NBL Season before departing very quickly while on the injury list. Currently, Ball is in California preparing for the NBA 2020 Draft in which it is expected he will go Top 5.
The Illawarra Mercury first reported on Thursday 2nd April that Ball & his manager Jermaine Jackson were in talks to buy a significant stake of the Hawks, however overnight, Jackson has come out and confirmed with ESPN that they do indeed own the team and its a done deal.
The news comes as good relief for the Hawks fans just after two days in which the team was forced to stand staff down due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation.

The opening lines pretty much say it all for this new track from Lee Monro, “No more gangsta shit, lemme chill it out for a bit”.
After 2019, Lee had alot to get off his chest. He took some time out to reflect on what is important to him, which is his family. Being the family man that he is, this got him through real tough times.
This new track is all about educating people rather than reiterating. Music track is available on Spotify and the Video Clip on YouTube.
