A city that evolved in lockstep with the auto industry, it isolates its 9.5 million people in their cars spread out across more than 4,000 square miles, militating against the most basic aspects of what makes cities work, things like interacting, gathering, seeing each other and learning how to coexist. ![]() It’s a wreck, just farcically bad by any metric a reasonable urban planner or city theorist or rational human being might use. They recently opened a VIP terminal that essentially provides the sort of experience you get at a regular airport for the rich and famous who just can’t put up with the airport in its natural state anymore. When added to American airport security systems, two-hour layovers can turn into mad dashes to make your flight. You may have to walk for close to an hour to get from one terminal to another, for instance, in the absence of something as basic as a shuttle. It is, like the city that surrounds it, just tragic. Zurich’s is perfectly clean and plain, nothing much to see there, unless you know exactly where to go, in which case you find things like the Swissair lounge, where they have more than 150 whiskies, served by knowledgeable bartenders, for free.Īnd the Los Angeles airport, known universally by its IATA code, LAX, is a huge big mess. Vancouver’s is gorgeous, and despite way more effort and money having gone into Doha’s and Dubai’s, Shanghai’s and Beijing’s, it effortlessly beats them all. Toronto’s, for instance, is all grey and cold blue, unremarkable but way more efficient and workable than Torontonians give it credit for. I wonder if airports really are reflections of the cities they serve, or if I’m making it up. Here, why Los Angeles is, despite what you've heard, worth a walk around.

Power: I mentioned already the battle I had with a six pound largemouth out on the California Delta. This fish pulled a lot of drag as I tried to muscle it away from cover out on the California Delta and in this real world scenario, the Rocket's drag performed flawlessly. Out on the water, the largest bass I managed to hook with the Revo Rocket was a six pounder. Then with each successive test, the drag was backed off with two short pushes of the dragstar with our thumb. Sweet Drag Performance for Abu Garcia Revo Rocket (2.5 Turns to Lockdown)ĭrag on this reel was tested with the dragstar fully tightened. For some reason, at each setting, we had a spike in drag performance towards the end run of the third pull. That is, until the end of three pulls we programmed into The Machine. Otherwise, once we began backing off the maximum setting, performance was relatively smooth and consistent. Note at the lower settings, the Rocket performed fine, but at full, finger tight lock down, the reel's drag becomes very erratic. In the case of the Revo Rocket specifically, our test reel was very erratic at maximum lock down drag.įig 1: The Sweet Drag Performance chart above shows the consistency in drag performance of our Abu Garcia Revo Rocket. ![]() Performance Ratings for Abu Garcia Revo Rocketĭrag: In the lab and strapped up to the machine, maximum drag on our Revo Rocket peaked at 21.3lbs of pressure, but if you look at our Sweet Drag Performance Chart below, you'll see that as is common with all bass reels we've tested thus far, maximum drag comes at the expense of smooth and consistent performance. There's just a bit more gear noise and vibration than I was expecting making this reel more or less average when it comes to scoring this characteristic. Otherwise, actual feel of the reel during retrieve is smooth but not nearly as refined as I'd expect for a $300 reel. By comparison, the IPT (inches per turn) range for each of the available STX retrieve ratios are 12.5-26 inches for the 6.4:1, 14-29 inches for the 7.1:1, and 16 - 32.5 for the 8.0:1. This retrieve ratio equates to somewhere between 18 to 36.5 inches depending upon how much line you have out on your cast. Retrieve: The Rocket is aptly named for it's blazing fast 9.0:1 retrieve ratio. Spooled with 50lb braid and mounted on a graphite cranking stick for a pure test of power! As such, I spooled this reel up with some Sufix 832 braid in 50lb test and paired it with an Edge Rods eight foot cranking stick. Performance: Given the familiarity with this reel and its braking system, my real interest in testing the Rocket was anything and everything I could do to tax that 9.0:1 gear. Quality Ratings for Abu Garcia Revo Rocket There is no backplay in the handle and the knobs are relatively tight, but again like the STX, there is some degree of movement in the handle when pushed into and pulled away from the body of the reel. Similar to the STX, the Rocket is solid and refined right out of the box with a very clean finish and no unusual gaps or areas of misalignment between the frame, sideplates, and other accent pieces. Actually, the accents on the Rocket are more reminiscent of the "Premier". The only difference I see from this reel and say the "STX" is the color and a few accents. Sharing more or less the same body and sideplate design from the "S" through to the "Premier" and even with the offshoot "Winch", the new "Rocket" is no exception. ![]() ![]() Quality/Construction: If there's one thing to be said about Abu Garcia's entire suite of Revo reels it's that they are very consistent in their fit and finish. ![]() ![]() This one looks like it's going to be along the lines of Super Mario Odyssey when it comes to platforming and semi-open world exploring. While there have definitely been a lot of Kirby games over the years, it's been a long time since Kirby had a hit game. It will be a direct sequel to the 2017 Game of the Year winner, and looks likes it's promising to provide plenty of new mechanics to keep things interesting.Īnother anticipated title to launch this year is Kirby The Forgotten Land. I'd be lying if I said The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel wasn't high on my list. There are so many exciting titles coming to Nintendo Switch this new year. Take on the role of Samus Aran, a famous bounty hunter out to stop the spread of deadly Phazon in the galaxy. With so much positive attention after the success of Metroid Dread, we can't wait to see what's in store for Samus' next adventure. She's had a few fast-paced showdowns with Dark Samus and with any luck has finally beaten it. ![]() Last we saw Samus Aran, she was attempting to stop the spread of Phazon, a harmful substance that corrupts people and whole planets. However, it's likely Metroid Prime 4 will continue the story where the last one left off. We don't know if the game will be releasing this year or within the next few years. While the delay was upsetting, it meant that the company that had made the original Prime games was back in charge of the next entry. Nintendo had started to make this game but then completely scrubbed their work in 2019 and put Retro Studios in charge of the game. That's because Prime 3: Corruption released way back in 2007 on the Wii and therefore it has been over 14 years that fans have waited for the next entry in the series. It all looks so challenging and we can't wait to play it.Īs long as Bayonetta fans have waited, Metroid Prime 4 fans have waited even longer. We also see him falling to floating islands and traveling through the sky with his glider. Now with this altered hand, Link acquires new skills like the ability to control metal or to even go through walls. It comes to life and seems to send Zelda off into an abyss while Link's hand gets transformed by some green force. For instance, Zelda and Link go exploring in some underground cavern only to find some emaciated figure on an altar. We've already learned a lot from the videos Nintendo has released. We know that a Breath of the Wild sequel is coming, and although Nintendo isn't willing to tell us the name just yet, we know that it continues off where BotW left off. To this day, people are still finding new things they can do in the game. It won the Game of the Year at the 2017 Game Awards along with a host of other accolades for its impressive physics mechanics, open-world exploration, and puzzle-solving. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW) is not only one of the very best Nintendo Switch games but is one of the very best games ever made. There are bound to be several surprises in store and we can't wait to see just what exactly this adventure holds.įalling Link Botw2 Closeup (Image credit: Nintendo (screenshot)) Instead, you'll track, fight, and capture Pokémon directly in the overworld. What's more, the game doesn't take you into a separate battle scene whenever you interact with a Pokémon. ![]() This is going to make for some more strategic catching tactics.
