Who hasn’t, at some time in their lives, contemplated immortality? Fiction is littered with such characters – Count Dracula, Dr Who, The Highlander, to name but a few – so I guess this question has fascinated many authors too. According to the peer reviewed ‘Internet Encyclopaedia of Philosophy’, “Immortality is the indefinite continuation of a person’s existence, even after death.” This definition is wide enough to embrace ‘afterlife’ too – the existence of the consciousness or spirit of the departed. Personally, if I could achieve immortality I would prefer not to roam the landscape as a ghost putting the willies up people or uttering a creepy commentary during a séance like the reported case of Erik Medhus. According to Richard Martini, author of ‘Architecture of the Afterlife’, after committing suicide…

Over the last few years, we have seen an increase in interest in the immersive sim genre, yet it has been around for decades now, but what exactly qualifies as an immersive sim? These games combine elements of action, role-playing, and stealth into one seamless whole. Each game varies the emphasis of these components, but there are some clearly identifiable qualities that mark them out. They prioritize compelling environment design and they encourage emergent play, providing the player with an array of tools to pursue open-ended goals. Even though the genre is at its most popular, the origins stretch back many decades and has a must-play list of games that rivals any other genre. Here are some of our favorite immersive sim games you can play right now. System Shock…

Besides helping 1000’s create their “Optimal Self” via getting uncomfortable, defining values, then creating the daily habits needed to become the person THEY want to be, Jeremy Herider, has plenty of stories to tell from playing Major League Baseball and then becoming a Cross Fit Games Champion.From his transition from professional sports to life today, cross-fit, tips for others to find their optimal self + helping people find their path, and partnering up with new podcast platforms, Jeremy talks to FHM exclusively about it all! To start off, how was the transition from being a professional athlete in the MLB and a cross-fit champion to being a life coach and speaker to help get people to become their own optimal selves? Well, in my journey of being a professional athlete…

Normally Aspirated V8s are a very rare sight nowadays. An engineering fossil that still evokes emotion like almost nothing else. Sadly they’ve been pushed out the back door in favor of smaller, cleaner engines that rely on turbocharging to fill the void in capacity. But before this turns into a forlorn monologue that nobody wants to hear, let’s turn our attention to one of only a handful of 5.0-liter V8s left, the Lexus LC500. Jaw-dropping beauty doesn’t even begin to describe the LC500 which has been given the most discreet treatment along with a convertible option to refresh its appearance and market appeal. It’s still in a unique category of cars; a blend between GT and sportscar filled with enormous amounts of luxury and everyday practicality. It’s Lexus at its…

When October comes around, it means all things Halloween. From pumpkin-infused drinks, trick or treating and sexy nurses’ outfits. It is also the perfect month to revisit the best horror movies to get one in the mood, and the one horror franchise that perfectly captures the Halloween mood is the franchise conveniently named Halloween. A true horror classic, infamous director John Carpenter’s Halloween brought the wonderful villain of Michael Myers to life, terrorizing audiences for over 30 years now. And with the launch of Halloween Kills this October, we have provided an easy-to-understand history of one of the greatest horror movie franchises of all time. Halloween (1978) When the original Halloween hit the silver screen in 1978, it terrified audiences with its masterful tension and truly terrifying killer. The story…

Welcome back to the final leg of my round the World sprint. Having written this I know that there are a fair few episodes still yet to be written. Especially, those last two continents that I can, so I have found out, elegantly fuse from the southern tip of Argentina. COVID-19 you haven’t beaten me! South Africa For an Englishman abroad Cape Town is a nineteenth-century colonial bolthole. Much of the architecture reflects that not-so-proud period of the British Empire yet thankfully the people and natural history of this most southerly tip of Africa more than represent what makes this a very extraordinary place. Table Mountain dominates the landscape, drawing you in with the peculiar shape as you ponder how that ever happened. Yet for me, the magic was both…

If the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and Lamborghini Huracan Evo had a baby, and sent that baby to the gym, you might just be about halfway to having this, the Lamborghini Huracan STO ((Super Trofeo Omologata). That abbreviation is significant because it derives its name from Lamborghini’s one-make series that races across three continents and has been doing so for more than a decade. Even by Lamborghini’s own admission, this latest Huracan STO favors the track more than the road. The Huracan STO could also be the last hoorah for the Huracan shape and drivetrain as we know it with rumors circling that its replacement could be due in 2022, featuring among other things a hybrid powertrain. With nothing but a relatively old chassis, the engineers had to get creative. Well,…

According to Albert Einstein, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” And who am I to argue with such a luminary? Little did I know that this piece of guidance would begin to prove itself on a scrap of paper. Nor, come to think of it, did I ever imagine that as a direct consequence I would be intimately exposed to the ‘perfect murder’ of an MI6 operative, the harrowing searches for hidden homicide victims, and eventually an uplifting spirit of adventure born out of the tragic death of a child. The route from Dublin airport to County Mayo, in the Northwest tip of Ireland, meandered across some of the most stunning countrysides I had ever seen – lush open green fields dotted with the odd rustic dwelling, and lakes…

Ever since the pandemic hit us around the world, people have had to do more video chats, video work conference calls, and show themselves on-screens more than ever before, which has led to more and more people starting to be self-conscious, and thus leading to new trends in the plastic surgery world! Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that stars like the Kardashians and Jennifer Lopez are plastered on covers and all across the press these days, giving motivation and ideas to people everywhere to look a certain way. With new cosmetic surgery trends taking place now more than ever FHM turned exclusively to Hollywood’s top Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Hakimi, who all the stars go to and who has been seeing these new trends like liposuction take place…

It’s an actual car show with crowds, currywurst, industry spies armed with measuring tapes and enough walking to lower your health insurance premiums. Yes, the Munich Motor Show (previously hosted in Franxakfurt) was in many ways back to the old format of delivering the hottest product gossip to do with ever-expanding mobility and we’ve picked out a few highlights that will be reaching different spots on the globe in the coming years, or simply inspire the next wave of new metal. Prepare yourselves for a lot of electrification and mood-sensing AI writes Audi Grandsphere As the name sort of implies, this is a grand car. It’s long enough to dwarf an Audi A8 and has been described by Audi as ‘a jet for the road.’ Presumably a long wide road…

E-bikes have been a topic of conversation in the cycling community for more than half a century and love them or hate them they seem to be here to stay. First thing first: What is an E MTB bike? Is it a bicycle, is it a motorbike? A modern E MTB bike is designed as a traditional MTB with an integrated battery and electric motor to pedal-assist the rider up to four times the power they are putting through the pedals. There are different modes and functions to change the amount of peddle assistance or watts you expend; Eco for a ‘little extra’ to keep you going, Trail to keep both you and the bike working at a healthy rate and then Turbo for those steep hills, technical climbs or…

“I am always up for a good challenge, especially when it comes to lifting people’s spirits.” If there is one thing that can bring this world together, it’s music. And not just any type of music, but music that gets us feeling good and feeling empowered to make a difference and come together with people of all sorts of backgrounds/lives. Semaj The Poet, a rising artist in the United States, has music that does just this. And beyond just the music, the guy is taking over social media - he’s a TikTok star - and he sat down with FHM to talk about the importance of social media, his fitness routine, dating and how the pandemic has changed the music scene worldwide. We all need some good music, good vibes…
