    What's the best cake you've ever had?

    I know the topic sounds wrong for this section, but hey, I thought since MyGaming is now putting movie reviews on their front page as a headline, I should be allowed to talk about other stuff where I want to as well.

    E3 2014 - The oddity continues

    I've taken a slow approach to this years E3 coverage due to a number of reasons. Work and personal life chaos being the biggest factors. As such, I'm only able to catch up with some of the videos now. What I'm seeing though, is a repeat of 2012's "big promises" which look a lot like train wrecks...

    Hooked up my PC to the TV....

    Geepers! I should have done it sooner! This weekend I decided to play some Batman: Arkham City on the PC, but the wife wanted to see the story. So since she's downstairs with the baby, I decided to bring down my PC and hook it up to my 63" plasma via my amplifier. I thought that it would work...

    Far Cry 3, can't get into it

    I re-installed Far Cry 3 the other night and tried to get back into the game because it's been sitting in my backlog for ages now. I just can't seem to get into the groove with this game. The character movement feels awkward, I keep getting chased by freaking komodo dragons or some sort of...

    Attention Gamers: E3 2014 Warning

    Please remember what was shown at E3 2012, and what was actually delivered in 2014. Let Watch Dogs be a shining example to everyone. Take everything you see and hear from these production houses at E3 with a tablespoon of salt because their end products are rarely close to what they're showing...

    Video Editing - Which applications do you use?

    I've started with the idea of getting into Video editing. I'd like to make high quality videos - and for that I have my Canon EOS 60D with a few great lenses. The video quality is amazing, but of course I need to be able to edit the footage and add some effects and text here and there. I've...

    Domino's Pizza coming to SA? Well, sort of.

    I just read an article online stating that there is some 30 year licensing deal happening with Domino's in African countries that includes South Africa. I nearly got excited but then read that it has to do with Scooters pizza merely rebranding their stores in Domino's. They're not actually going...

    Upgrading to SSD (another SSD topic)

    So, after getting my copy of Windows 8.1 I've decided this might be a good time to bite the bullet and get a SSD for my PC. It seems like the reliability of these drives have been improved quite a lot, and that was the major factor that kept me from getting one in the past. I'm currently...

    How do you use Social Media / Forums?

    With the recent article about some lady from Ericsson South Africa losing her job because she posted a racist remark on Facebook, it has again highlighted to me that a person's online personality and the use of social media networks tend to be too blurred and people lose track of reality. On my...

    Windows 8. Upgrade or standalone?

    Hi guys, For those of you running Windows 8. How did you reach the OS level? Did you install from scratch, or did you take the upgrade route from a previous Windows version. I have a retail copy of Windows 7 at home, but I'd like to upgrade to Windows 8. Specifically Windows 8.1. The cheap...

    WebAfrica - DSL Line Speed Optimizer

    ----------WARNING---------- WebAfrica's customer portal has been updated from something extremely useful and easy to navigate - to something that should be dragged out into the street and shot in the head in front of its family and friends. The Line Speed Manager (which was one of the nicest...

    Next-Gen Schmext-Gen

    So I've been suffering from a bit of buyers remorse lately over spending a GOOD amount of money on a monster graphics card for my PC. Basically, the card was expensive enough to buy a PS4, with an extra controller, the camera and 2 games. In my head I've been going over and over trying to...

    Would you buy these?

    So I've got a couple of graphics cards around the house, with nothing better to do. I'm thinking about selling them at some stupid price just to give them a new home. I have 2 GTX280s (old school hehe), a 9800GT and an ATI HD4850 512MB card. Do you guys think if I advertise these for R400 -...

    Burger King - Rivonia

    Do any of you guys/gals know if the Burger King on Rivonia still has queues that circle around the block? I'd like to go and try it over the coming weekend, but I'm really not desperate enough to ever queue for a burger.

    I tried. I really did. But there is just no reason....

    ...to buy a PS4 tomorrow. I really wanted to be one of the early adopters for the next-gen console wave in the country. But damnit, there is NO viable reason to buy the PS4 now. It's not like the PS3 which was one of the first blu-ray players available. It also doesn't have a "system seller"...

    Replacing 2 GTX 580s with a single card?

    Hi guys, I've been holding out for quite a while now and I'm wondering if (with all these new AMD cards etc.) there isn't a single card that can replace my 2 GTX 580's? I game at 2560x1440 so the 1.5GB video memory isn't really helping a lot these days. But I also don't want to replace my 580s...

    Build a dream cellular contract/package

    So guys and gals, Let's say you were pulling the strings at some of these big cellular service providers; what sort of package would you think is desperately needed in the industry? What sort of package/contract deal would make you excited about mobile services again? I remember back in the...

    Convince me to: buy a PS4 in 2013.

    Howsit guys and gals, Can anyone here form a valid argument to purchase a PS4 in 2013? I think this might be a lot tougher to do now, with all the day 1 games being delayed, than it was a month or 2 ago. In my opinion, the fact that the PS4 is releasing months before the XBOX One in South...

    Cutting back?

    I've recently done a bit of research on our household's monthly income and it's quite scare to see how close to the breadline we've been living. So, in order to get a more comfortable lifestyle I've decided to cut back on a few things; such as my expense car and DSTV. To be honest, cancelling...
