Regardt van der Berg — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:19:17 +0000

I still remember the first time I powered on a Sony hi-fi as a kid. Not just the sound, but the weight of it, the click of the buttons, the way it felt like you were operating something serious. Sitting down with Koji Sekiguchi, Head of Marketing for Sony Middle East and Africa, that memory came back like a flash, because even though the technology has moved on, the idea behind it hasn’t. Sony isn’t chasing louder specs or faster […]

Xiaomi TV Stick 4k Review: Nifty streaming on a tight budget

Regardt van der Berg — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 11:30:48 +0000

We’ve covered many Google TV boxes over the last year, and it seems these things are becoming increasingly popular as people repurpose old screens or breathe new life into slightly out-of-date smart TVs There are two main device types you’d typically find on the market, one is an external TV box, which usually has USB ports, sometimes a network port, and always more storage or expandable storage. These are also a bit more responsive when flicking between apps and shows. […]

Cody Nery Thomson — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:54:03 +0000

It turns out that the end of this week is a clear sign that not just the NAG staff have been working hard, but so too have all the electronics. Two staff members are currently sitting without electricity, and I can guarantee that the remainder of the team is all wired on caffeine, trying to make it through to the end of the day. But, luckily for you all, the lack of electricity or the abundance of caffeine has not […]

Sock0Puppet — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 09:34:44 +0000

Let’s get this straight, this is almost 3 weeks overdue. While I’ve been away, I had my whole writing experience completely, well, rewritten. But I think we can take a stab at the end of our diatribes. It had to end somewhere, after all, I’ve created several pieces on the worlds of open worlds. In this one I’m taking a hard look at open worlds that have nothing in them. Sure, you get given a lot to do, but you’re […]

Couch Command Centre: Ass + Couch + This Tech = Gaming Heaven

Cody Nery Thomson — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:19:31 +0000

There’s a very specific nerve that gets aggravated when you finally settle in on the couch, chores all done, and realise that everything you need to play that game you’ve been waiting for is out of reach. Plus, the snacks you’re craving are so far away they might as well be in another dimension. Modern tech has done a great job of making things more powerful, but not always more convenient. Sometimes, the real upgrade isn’t more performance; it’s not […]

Panel To Panel: Comics I Can’t Shut Up About – Outcast

Arielle Pieterse — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:16:31 +0000

There’s a very specific kind of horror that doesn’t rely on jump scares or things going bump in the night. It’s the kind that settles in quietly. The kind that lingers in uncomfortable silences. It lives in small towns where everyone knows your name… and has already decided who you are. That’s Outcast. This isn’t just a story about demonic possession, although yes, there are exorcisms, and they are as brutal and unsettling as you’d hope. It’s a story about […]
