The Precinct review: This top-down sandbox police romp is simply the best.. better than all arrest

AS my wife often tells me, I ALWAYS play the good cop when parenting. Which is why I thought I'd be really good at The Precinct. As it turns out though, this superb top-down sandbox takes a lot more skill than first imagined. 7 Before we get into my poor attempts at collaring a graffiti vandal, a little backdrop to The Precinct. It's like Grand Theft Auto but where you play on the right side of the law. Really, I hear you ask? That will never work! But it does . . . and really well. This is a fantastically addictive outing from Fallen Tree Games - a lovely nod to classic top-down belters like GTA, GTA: London and Gangsters. 7 Set in the 80s, you play a rookie cop called Nick Cordell Jr. His dad was a cop but died and now he's pounding the streets of Averno City in a bid to catch the bad guys. He's helped out by his partner - a cynical vet - not far from retirement. Meanwhile, an encouraging but secretive chief watches over a department that isn't all quite as it seems. Yes, it's dripping in US cop cliches but this adds to the character of the game and gives it a bit of life. 7 The gameplay itself is pretty straightforward. You patrol the city during shifts, either on foot, in a patrol car or by chopper. There's a main story arc which has some terrific twists and turns but in-between that your job is to keep an eye out for trouble. And this comes in many different forms - from clocking speeding vehicles to chasing down attempted murderers on foot. You can even spend a shift dishing out parking tickets. Sounds boring but I spent a lot of time hunting down illegally-parked cars next to fire hydrants - you can even check parking metres to see if the allotted time has expired. When it comes to other arrests, each one must be done by the book to earn XP. When you stop someone, you need to check the ID first, then search them before applying the correct offence. 7 They might drop contraband or the ID might come back as a wanted crook - all of which needs to be taken into account before you dish out punishment. If you get it wrong, you're docked XP. Any heavy-handed policing also sees you deducted points as does arresting someone incorrectly, like putting them in cuffs for an infraction that only requires a fine. It's the same if you lose a 'perp' during a police chase. 7 All this really focuses your mind when making an arrest - did I miss anything in the search? Did I run a background check? At the end of each shift you can use your XP to upgrade a fairly basic skills tree. This allows useful extras like calling in a road closure during a police chase - you can also deploy spike traps and order back-up units as you zoom through the city. 7 The mechanics are smooth and responsive too. Excellent visuals add amazing character to Averno - broken roads, reflections in puddles - and the red and blue sirens burst through the tricky haze on a night shift. The isometric camera view really holds its own and allows for impressive car chases as well as back-alley duels. Shoot-outs are fun though the aiming can be tricky at first. 7 However, despite the delightful screeches of tires and blaring sirens, the busts can get a little repetitive. And it's a little easy to rise through the ranks. But these are tiny gripes in what is an awesome 12-13 hours of proper policing. You have the right to remain silent . . . in awe of this game.

Woman who went viral for breastfeeding her husband reveals how she feels about it since she stopped nursing

A mother who used to breastfeed her husband while she was also nursing her children has reflected on her unconventional show of affection 18 months after it went viral. Rachel Bailey, 32, and her husband Alexander, also 32, filmed a new vlog that showed them sitting down to watch an episode of My Strange Addiction, in which they revealed their ununsual practice to the world. At the time of filming, the mother-of-three said it was 'not a kink' but a way for she and Alexander to bond emotionally and grow closer. She started breastfeeding her husband in 2016, when they went on a cruise holiday away from their children, who she was still nursing. But Rachel had forgotten her breast pump, which left her 'badly engorged' and 'in so much pain'. In an effort to help relieve her pain, Alexander drank milk from her breasts. According to Rachel, it 'created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn't start this'. Now, though, both Rachel and Alexander seem to feel differently about the practice, having stopped since 2023 after their youngest child was weaned. In their recent vlog, the pair get ready to watch the episode, which Rachel had seen parts of but Alexander had never watched because he 'never cared to'. 'This actually would be my first time [legitimately] watching it… I may not be able to get through it,' he admitted at the start of the YouTube vlog. The pair got comfortable on their sofa and start watching the episode of My Strange Addiction. Before they got to their own story, though, the pair briefly watched the story of a man whose 'addiction' was to eating raw chicken. 'His episode seems a little crazier than our episode,' Rachel said. 'And yet, our episode was the craziest.' Once they began watching themselves on TV, Rachel let out a scream of excitement, while Alexander appeared to try and hide his embarrassment by laughing at the screen. Asking Alexander how he felt about watching the first part of the episode for the first time, he replied: 'My thoughts are [that] it's unreal. It's like it didn't happen, but it happened. It's just wild. I don't even know, I have no words.' He added that he was having an 'out-of-body experience' watching himself and his wife on TV. Rachel said she couldn't believe they were 29 years old when they filmed the episode, and on seeing herself breastfeeding Alexander, she declared: 'It's cringe!' They recently sat down to watch their episode of My Strange Addiction, as Alexander had never seen it before, and recorded their reactions for their YouTube vlog When another clip of Alexander drinking from her breast appeared, Rachel said she 'couldn't even watch' and panned to Alexander, who had an uncomfortable expression on his face. They hit pause and Rachel said: 'You can tell that we barely watched this episode because I have never heard this background music before. 'It was very hard for us.' She described the episode as 'cringe' a second time, while Alexander can be heard saying: 'This is insane.' Towards the end of the video, Rachel admitted that they could not sit through the whole episode. 'We could not watch the whole thing, I gotta be honest with you,' she said. 'Maybe years from now. 'It's funny to watch because it was an amazing experience but it feels like we didn't do this, but we did this.' Alexander added: 'It's definitely a once in a lifetime experience, hence why we did it, it's not something you would experience everyday, going on My Strange Addiction. Rachel asked her husband if people still approach him to talk about the episode, but he said they no longer do. 'Things go like this,' Alexander said, snapping his fingers. 'Things are on and off, hot and cold, so once one thing's gone, the next thing pops up so they move on with that. Nobody talks about it anymore, which is fine, it's cool.' While Rachel was still breastfeeding Alexander, she claimed he became healthier and his skin improved as a result of drinking her milk. At the time, she said he had not gotten a cold in two years and received plenty of compliments on his skin. They acknowledged the practice might be 'a bit of a taboo subject', but added that they were not embarrassed by it because they 'don't think it's bad'. When Rachel was producing the most milk shortly after giving birth, Alexander was drinking from her breasts 'three to four times a day' and always only after her children had been fed. 'I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together. It's definitely brought us closer as a couple,' she explained. 'We realised there was nothing wrong with me breastfeeding him, and it would actually be good for him as it is so nutritious. 'He didn't get a cold for two years after he started drinking my milk and so many people said his skin was so much better too. 'It's not a kink for us. It started as Alexander just helping me out when I was in pain, but it turned into more of an emotional bonding thing.' But eventually all three of their children were weaned off breast milk, which meant Alexander also had to stop drinking it. Rachel said last year that when this happened, the couple 'grieved' their 'bonding experience' and they even considered having a fourth child so they could continue. 'We grieved that bonding experience that we shared, and we even spoke about having one more baby so that we could do it again,' Rachel said. 'However, we realized that was drastic action to take and a lot of work, so instead we began looking for other ways that we could bond as a couple.' Instead, they now get up at 5 am each morning to catch up and meditate before getting on with the rest of their day. 'It was never a sexual thing for us. We did it because it was an amazing way for us to bond and share something special as a couple,' Rachel said. 'We really miss the breastfeeding times that we shared, but we have found new ways to connect.'

Dan Aykroyd: ‘I don't believe in associating with beings that have no souls'

As a self-described spiritualist who comes from a long line of spiritualists – is there anything you don't believe in? Well, I don't believe in associating with beings that have no souls. Like psychic vampires. Right? If you go through life, you'll either meet a psychic vampire every day or every year. You should avoid beings like that, that's a good rule for life. That's what I don't believe in, associating with them. I'm sure you've met some beings that draw the energy out of you if you give them 10 minutes. But after 10 minutes, you gotta run. I give everybody 10 minutes. Have you ever lived in a haunted house? Yeah, I believe so. Certain little things happened. I never saw a spirit. My friend Gary saw a spirit in the Hollywood Hills, North Hollywood, on Mama Cass's old estate. You know the great Mamas and the Papas? A great band. This was Mama Cass's house. Jimi Hendrix stayed there, as did John Lennon and Ringo Starr; Harry Nilsson owned it for a while. Donna and I bought that house in the 80s and lived there for many years, raised three beautiful daughters there. And sure enough, people would see a big, dark shape along the top stairway. I remember the housekeeper saying she heard the Stairmaster going when no one was there. Her name would be called, she felt touches on the shoulder. I remember vividly one night when Donna had some jewellery sitting there and the bracelets started to do this little whirlwind. Now, maybe that's the energy between us, who knows? But it might have been Mama Cass. What has been your most memorable interaction with a fan? I guess having Bill Clinton join the Blues Brothers to play saxophone? It was at the opening of the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. That was a pretty spectacular night. Bill was a fan of the Blues Brothers so he agreed to play sax with us. I think we did I Saw Her Standing There, the Beatles tune. That was a beautiful interaction with a true fan of the music – and a two-term Democratic president! He had the full secret service escort, of course. Remember that movie [Guarding Tess] with Nicolas Cage and Shirley MacLaine, where he's the secret service agent assigned to her? Shirley is great. She's a great believer, of course, in, shall we say, the unexplained, the inexplicable other-worldly matters, the presence of alien beings. And then, of course, Nicolas Cage. I will watch anything he's in. He just warms my heart when he comes on screen. I loved him in that film. Such a great pairing. So yeah, Bill Clinton would get that title for life, absolutely. Jimmy Belushi and I rode Harleys right up to the stage and go off and played, then Bill joined us. That was pretty exciting. You spend every 1 July, which is both Canada Day and your birthday, performing some kind of civic duty in Canada. What is the plan this year? Sadly this year I will be travelling, but I have had the honour of doing things like starting a parade, or the best one was when I was sworn in as federal immigration judge, and I welcomed half a dozen immigrant families to Canada as they were getting their citizenship. This was in 2001. It was so great to see the hope in these people coming to Canada and ostensibly living a better life. So it's Judge Ackroyd now. I'd prefer that going forward. I was only a judge for two hours but I am going to say it for life. What's the best piece of advice you have ever received? Just listen. So many times I'm talking over people because I love the sound of my own voice. I'm a blowhard and a gas bag. People who are smarter than me will say 'Just listen' – and I'm trying to learn that. You converted John Belushi to blues music before you made The Blues Brothers. I once read that you put on a particular record in a bar that kicked off his love for blues. Do you remember what the record was? Well, John was from Chicago, so he had been to blues clubs that I had never even heard of – he'd been to the Checkerboard, Wise Fools, Kingston Mines, Legends. He knew blues – but he was just a heavy metal fan. He loved Grand Funk Railroad and Cream – and that's great, because it's all from blues! Anyway, we were playing this record, Straight Up, by this Canadian band called the Downchild Blues Band. Do a search, everybody, and get some party music for the summer! So we were listening and he said 'Who's this?' I said 'Oh, this is a beautiful local blues band that loves the stuff' and he said 'Oh this is good. This is good.' I said 'Well it's the blues, John, you're from Chicago!' But from that record we started to work on the act. We perfected it with Tom 'Bones' Malone, our arranger and horn player, and Paul Shaffer. We put together a super band that's unparalleled. Check out Briefcase Full of Blues and Going Back to Miami by the Blues Brothers. If you're driving, put on Blues Brothers and you'll have a beautiful drive. Jamie Lee Curtis called you the best screen kisser she's ever done a scene with. Care to comment? Well. That's an intimacy coach issue. Whenever I did have that kind of scene – and there were not many [laugh] – I was always conscious of making the other person comfortable. So that's what she's talking about, feeling comfortable and real in the scene, to actually be in the moment. And it wasn't hard to pretend to like kissing Jamie. Do you have a nemesis? I would say ignorant, well-armed people. I could walk out the door tonight and who knows? What a world, huh. What book, album or film do you always return to, and why? Well – the Bible. I'm a lapsed Catholic, OK? But hopefully somewhere in there there's some shred of Judeo-Christian value left. I'm trying to live on those fumes as much as I can. But the Bible has great stories, great quotes and wonderful wisdom from Christ, and in the end, it's the only book left. So I do turn to it. To whom much is given, much will be required – that's what Christ says and I certainly am trying to live that as I go on. As for film, I always return to The Day The Earth Stood Still, that spectacular movie with Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal about the saucer landing in Washington DC in the 1950s. What a great film – and it could really happen, that there's some more powerful interstellar beings with stronger weapons than us out there. If we don't smarten up here with all this nuclear talk and nuclear play, they're going to come down here and straighten us out. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could believe that? If you had to fight a famous person, who would it be, how would you fight them and who would win? I'd rather fight an animal than a human being. Let me go off on a tangent, maybe we can come to an answer. The ultimate answer to that, human or animal, is: I would flee in the other direction. How about a bear? I did a scene once with two bears, a black bear and a grizzly [in The Great Outdoors with John Candy]. We got on well! They were both much better actors than I was. Bart was the grizzly and the other one was called Uncle Joe. They decided there should only be one bear scene in the movie, so my scene with Uncle Joe was cut. We shot it at night – I had to sit next to the bear with my arm around it and its arm around me, and drink beer. He had his paw up and I was feeding him and we were both drunk. I kind of liked Uncle Joe. But I would flee from a real fight with a bear. Bart the grizzly was intimidating. One swipe of the paw, you know? That's what I loved about my career as an actor – I can turn to you today and say 'I worked with that bear. That bear and I did a film together so many years ago …' And Bart's son and grandson are also in the business because they need grizzlies in Hollywood still. Thank God! The UnBelievable With Dan Aykroyd airs on SBS Viceland on Mondays and is available to stream on SBS On Demand.
