So it's been a while since I've posted here. Things have been hectic, but I've decided that starting today, I'm going to visit and post on this forum every day and maybe even see if I can contribute and write some articles for the site. I'll get in touch with management about that.

Has anybody come across some weird colours when connecting their PC to an UHD TV? I'm connecting my UHD TV via HDMI cable when I game from the couch and the TV basically mirrors my main monitor. When on my Desktop / Steam / etc., the colour scheme is almost purple on the UHD TV but on the main...

So I've finally gotten fibre :D Our estate's installation was already completed in November so I've been watching the coverage map closely on an almost weekly basis. Our area was activated on Friday so I emailed Webafrica to get the process started, they confirmed on Monday that they mailed...

Any recommendations for decent co-op games on PC for me and my wife? We're busy playing Borderlands 1.5 (which can feel a bit long at times) and we've just finished Dead Rising 3. Tried Dead Island with a friend once but I was bored most of the time while playing it. Played for about 2 hours...

So I've finally saved up a bunch of eBucks for a new UHD big screen TV. With FNB working hard to give their customers as little reward as possible, it took freakin forever to save, but here we are. With Makro vouchers bought without any discount :(. Anyway, is there anything I must look out...

Has anybody played this game? Did anyone like it? I've started playing it a couple of weekends ago and I'm a couple of hours in but I just can't get into this game. Feels a lot like a game for kids. Basically I just want to know if things pick up later on or whether I should stop now and move on.

As of about 3 weeks ago, whenever my wife is playing a game from my library, my whole Steam library basically becomes unavailable. As soon as I start any game, she gets kicked out of her game after 3 minutes. It used to be that the only restriction is that we cannot play the same game at the...

Anybody else noticed the GOG book in the DRM quest?

So I recently upgraded my MB and CPU while building a PC for my wife. Basically what happens is while playing a game that uses quite a bit of resources, my PC will shut down and restart and I could actually smell some kind of burning. This weekend, I actually saw sparks. I have the I7 4790K...

I have a Sony 3D Bluray player that I got with my Sony Mgongo surround sound system about a year and a half ago (so just outside of warranty). I think it was damaged by a power surge while I was away over December. When I turn it on, the Sony logo displays on the loading screen and then...

It is a Ryobi 1000W Inverter Generator. Comes with 2 years warranty. I originally bought it when thieves destroyed our power sub-station and the power was going to take a week to repair, so I paid R4000 at Builders Warehouse, but I'm sure you could get it for cheaper on special or something...

So I've decided to build a gaming PC for my wife. Actually, I've had the idea for a while and even saved some of my old components. Have two MSI Geforce 560 TIs that I can SLI as well as a hard drive and monitor... Now for the rest. Catch is that I'm going to try and buy most of it using...

I know there are a couple of developers on here so I thought I'd share this. Was visiting one of our component providers and noticed that they followed Microsoft's example with the new Visual Studio Community edition and made all their components available for free for individual developers or...

So my Samsung Galaxy S3 decided to stop working properly. Keeps freezing, screen goes weird (like some kind of interference) and Vodacom can fix, but it will leave me 21 days without a phone and everything deleted. So any suggestions. Haven't done any research on cellphones recently. Just no...

Do cellphone towers have backup power during power outages? I have Afrihost Mobile (MTN) and when they tried stealing the power cables last night (again), I could "connect" to 3G, but could not do anything on the internet. I basically had to make my cellphone on Vodacom a Wifi hotspot and use...
