NAG Live Podcast #47: BYD and Amazon Luna in the house

Regardt van der Berg — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:22:03 +0000

In this week’s podcast, we welcome Cody back from Computex while Len dialled in from a top-secret location. We suspect Arielle is still driving her demo BYD around town. Just kidding. Len and Arielle were at a BYD launch event, where they drove the new Atto 2 DM-i and discovered two important things. First, modern hybrid cars can be impressively smooth, quiet, economical, and packed with useful tech. Second, putting the drive selector on the indicator stalk is an excellent […]

MLB The Show 26 Review: A Rough In The Diamond

BigMacDaddy — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:17:54 +0000

Ball three is called. It’s a full count. The batter and the pitcher’s eyes meet. This is it. The tying run on the plate. The pitcher narrows his gaze, chucks a curving screwball, dancing to the outside edge of the plate. The batter meets it square and drives it between left and centre field. The defender scrambles and grabs the ball bobbling near the wall. He turns back to watch the tying run rounding the diamond. With all his might, […]

Arielle Pieterse — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 08:50:26 +0000

Board games are often seen as a social hobby, but some of the best tabletop experiences available today are designed to be enjoyed entirely on your own. Whether you’re battling alien invasions, surviving a horror movie, exploring dangerous dungeons, or leading a secret coven of witches, solo board games offer strategic depth, engaging stories, and the freedom to play whenever you want. The beauty of single-player board games is that they remove the need to coordinate schedules, gather friends, or […]

Updated: Amazon Prime Launches In South Africa, Bringing Amazon Luna With It

Arielle Pieterse — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:00:22 +0000

Ed’s Note: Roughly five days ago, I reported that Amazon Prime had launched in South Africa, bringing Amazon Luna with it. And while that is still 100% correct, there are some rather significant differences between what we received under the Luna umbrella and what other countries have received, so I’ve updated this article to reflect those changes. Amazon has officially launched its Prime membership programme in South Africa, bundling together shopping perks, streaming entertainment, and gaming benefits under a single […]

Gaming Gear Nobody Asked For (But We Kinda Want)

Cody Nery Thomson — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:31:57 +0000

There was a time when gaming accessories focused on things like performance, precision, and helping you win. Those days are apparently over. With winter in mind and considering how bundled up we’ll all be in front of our PCs, I went and found three products that nobody asked for, but that somehow seem very appealing to Cody-in-a-blanket. Let’s check them out. Elgato Stream Deck Pedal Check it out You know the Stream Deck. The little button box that streamers and […]

Computex 2026 Wrap Up: AI PCs To Handheld Gaming Beasts

Cody Nery Thomson — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 07:27:38 +0000

Computex 2026 has come and gone, and while it felt like I was out of town for at least a month, sitting back and reflecting makes me wish I had had more time to cover it all. It was, yet again, another incredible expo encompassing every little aspect of what’s coming into the world of tech for us consumers. I had an awesome time walking the floors, checking out the hottest of the hot from tons of brands, and the […]

BigMacDaddy — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 06:14:13 +0000

We’ve run all the tests. Gathered all the data. With a lift power of 800kg, a bite force of 1300 PSI and standing at 1.8 metres, there remains a burning question on everyone’s lips. Okay, make that two burning questions (RIP the 100 idiots who want to take on this hulking primate). What would a gorilla dance battle look like? Gorilla Showdown pits you and your silverback friends against one another in something you’d expect to see in a Step […]
