Ive known about Hoonigan Racing, Ken Blocks motorsport team that competes in FIA World Rallycross as a Ford factory backed team. I even saw them compete at Lydden Hill last month. But I never really understood just Hoonigan, which is separate from Ken and Ford and is based out of Long Beach, California. I assumed that Hoonigan was a T shirt company for Ken Block and the drifters. Every time I see cars destroying their tires, there are people wearing Hoonigan shirts. It made sense. Editors note We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special bout of insanity from friend of the site and crapcan racer hero, Bill Caswell, who is taking over for us this weekend. You would think I might know more about Hoonigan as I went to their launch party back in 2. Watch Elf Bowling The Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike Online Forbes' title='Watch Elf Bowling The Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike Online Forbes' />It was incredible. Hoonigan throws the best parties in the automotive world. The second year we partied at the Global Rallycross Track complete with drifting, burnouts and kegs of PBR So you could see how I thought Hoonigan just threw parties and sold apparel. Plus I wasnt really into drifting. I have huge respect for drift, but I never identified with past Hoonigan drivers like Chris Forsberg and Ryan Teurck. Theyre outstanding drivers, but I dont wear skinny jeans, black hats, and my cars arent powered by Ferrari. I love it all, I just never identified with their racers other than Block. Then I got a text from Brian Scotto asking if I wanted to come by and work on a car at their shop. I was confused. Hoonigan is building cars Naturally I said yes. If theyre going to build cars, I want to be a part of it. I really had no idea all this was going on at Hoonigan. If youre like me and skip directions, just start watching below. Be careful though. Theyve uploaded a video every day since March and they have their regular series like The Unprofessionals my personal favorite, Field Trip, and A Beer With as well. Its only been 5 months and they have put more content online than seasons of traditional car shows. You need to start watching Hoonigan. So heres me and the ShA 3. E3. 6 that never leaves the parking lot. Just watch and it will make more sense. Heres part 2. They left me alone with a camera for few hours and I managed to capture some of my weirdness as I build things. Like talking to my steel. You have to talk to it before you cut it. Thats Darnell with the Donut Garage hat below. Hes awesome and a proper mechanic fabricator. Darnells hands are dirty. Hes worked on tons of different race cars including desert racing trucks and we immediately became friends. Hes also the reason why a lot their cars run. Except Scotto. His cars never run. So now that youve seen the Hoonigan garage, what do you think I was blown away. I had no idea that a majority of their space was set up for car projects, building, and shooting video. Now lets walk through the rest of the garage or video series. Daily Transmission. This covers all the unusual stuff around the shop every day. People stop by with 1,0. There are mini drag races. This is the series I was a part of with the 3. Sh t Car. Occasionally they play Dukes of Hazard with a Miata The Unprofessionals. This is Hert and Robs personal little fun house. Its my favorite series of the group but I think Im just a huge fan of Hert and Rob, Aka Chairslayer. Watch the first 3. It opens with a crash Field Trip. This video series is cool because the Hoonigans spend so much time in their garage. I could care less about the Jay Leno tour episodes, but the last one was about the guys hitting Laguna Seca for a track day. My kind of fun. A Beer With. This is a great concept. Have your friends over to drink beers and tell stories. I had a beer or seven with Hoonigan as well, just waiting on the edit which might take a while because I drank a lot and told a lot of stories. The camera ran out of battery I told so many stories. See what I mean Hoonigan isnt whatever I thought it was. Look at the gasser on the lift behind Farah. Look at the lift You dont need that for T shirts. Something has changed at Hoonigan and its now my favorite You. Tube channel. I occasionally find myself watching the latest episode a few minutes after it comes out. I also bought a Hoonigan t shirt last month, so maybe the whole things really does work. Their hands are dirty and theyre having fun with their friends while playing with cars. Who wouldnt want to be a part of thatWe Finally Got A Good Battlestar Galactica Game. Its been over eight years since Battle. Star Galactica ended in almost the worst way imaginable, and in that time we havent got a single good official game based on the series. We now have one. Kinda. After a run of over five years, Battlestar Galactica finished over the weekend, and theres aRead more Read. Kinda not because the latest, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, is not a good video game. It is Its kinda because this isnt technically a video game about the 2. Despite sharing the same visual style, uniforms and even style of soundtrack as Sci Fis classic TV show, Deadlock is in fact a prequel based on the first Cylon War, the one thats only hinted at in the main series and which was instead the focus of web series Blood Chrome. Which is why Deadlock plays the way it does. Had this been a strategy game based around just the Galactica, it would have been about politics, sex, drama and toothpaste. Instead, set during a bigger, fairer fight between humanity and the Cylons, Deadlock is able to expand its scale and be a game about building fleets then sending them off to do battle with the enemy. While Deadlock may look like a 3. D space strategy game in the style of Homeworld, its actually turn based. Lloyd In Space Season 4 Episode 10. At the beginning of a turn you issue orders and movement commands to every ship under your command. When you hit a big END TURN button, those moves and orders are then carried out during a short window of real time resolution. Like this Its not the first strategy game to do this, of course, but having just come off the back of a solid six months playing Star Wars Armada, it was a comfortable and familiar way for me to be resolving battles involving giant spaceships. Battles in Deadlock are relatively small in scale, which is for the best, because the game asks you to do a lot of fiddly little things every turn for each ship under your command. Youre responsible for speed, direction, firing orders and posture whether offensive or defensive, with further options like setting the ships elevation like Homeworld and Sins, you can adjust the height of your ships in space, firing off a limited supply of projectiles and, best of all, getting to click on LAUNCH VIPERS. The games tactics are based around unit differentiation. Some ships are fast, some are slow, some have fighters, some dont, some are strongest firing to the front, others from broadsides. Both Colonial and Cylon forces are pretty evenly matched, with a lot more variety in the type of ships available to you than you ever saw on TV. The tactical battles are pretty good, if also a bit strange to see in motion because theyre so reliant on movement when the show conditioned us to expect ships to just sit still and pound each other until one blew up. The reason for that is that ships can only be destroyed when you break through their hulls, and to do that you need to completely break through a certain part of its surface to do so. So when a ship starts taking damage from the front, it can turn around and show you its side, and youll be starting all over again. This makes manoeuvring and pursuit a central strategy, and also a lot of fun as ships dance through a battle trying to protect their weaknesses while exploiting their opponents. Battles really come into their own, though, with the use of the license the sound effects like whooshing missiles and the ping of DRADIS are straight from BSG, and the music is an excellent facsimile of Bear Mc. Crearys iconic score from the TV series. If you ever watched the show and wanted to be furrowing your brows just like Adama as everything goes to shit around you, this is as close as you can currently get. As fun as they are, the centrepiece of Deadlock isnt the tactical battles, its the surprisingly large and involved singleplayer campaign. Instead of just serving as a series of tutorials introducing you to bigger ships and better weapons, Deadlocks campaign borrows heavily from XCOMs, asking you to race around the 1. Colonies fighting Cylons, trying to keep each planet happy enough to stay in the fight and lend their resources to the war effort while also trying to complete story missions along the way. Its as tense and occasionally infuriating as XCOMs campaign, especially since story missions sometimes require a fail, reboot and retool for a more appropriate fleet until you can complete them. But thats what also makes it so enjoyable, since by giving you the flexibility to pick your fights and be responsible for how you fight them, it feels far more involved than a more linear campaign might have. As much fun as Im having with Deadlock, I wonder how much of that is down to my love of BSG and how much is thanks to the inherent quality of the game itself. As well made as the battle system itself is, combat can sometimes feel like a drag during less chaotic moments since you have to order each ship around individually, and most of the presentation outside of the attractive 3. D battles can best be described as budget. Then again, this is an official Battlestar Galactica game that doesnt suck. Its aimed at Battlestar Galactica fans, and being a competent strategy title that uses the license well, thats about all you can ask for so long after the shows resolution. Deadlock will be out on PC Steam and Go. G around the end of the month. Most of the board games I play with my crew are fairly recent, but on the weekend we dove into ourRead more Read.
