NAG IFA 2026: The After Movie

Cody Nery Thomson — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 10:57:54 +0000

I’ve been to a good few tech events over the course of my life. While rAge definitely tops the charts in terms of times visited, international media events and Computex also make it onto that list. IFA Berlin 2026 was a monster in it’s own right, with more halls than I can count on all my individual digits, a maze of confusing staircases littered in what seemed to be random locations, and even a festival ground where DJs were dropping […]

5 LEGO Ideas Projects Currently in Review That We Need to Become Real Sets

Arielle Pieterse — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 10:50:31 +0000

There are few things more dangerous to my bank account than discovering a LEGO set based on something I already love. Actually, scratch that. There is one thing more dangerous: discovering a fan-made LEGO set based on something I love, knowing that it isn’t actually a LEGO set yet, and then becoming emotionally invested in whether LEGO decides to make it one. Welcome to LEGO Ideas. If you’ve somehow avoided this particular corner of the LEGO ecosystem until now, LEGO […]

How To Fish Review: Holy Mackerel!

BigMacDaddy — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 09:49:06 +0000

How does the old saying go? Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man how to no scope a flying salmon with his CS: GO skin sniper and make him a gambling addict for a lifetime? I think this game took liberties with that figure of speech… How To Fish is one of the latest releases in the friendslop genre, one of the greatest advances of modern gaming. The premise is simple: you crashed […]

NBA 2K27 Review: I’m Jannie Emmers, Yo

BigMacDaddy — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 09:10:00 +0000

I have to start this review with an admission: I literally do not know anything about basketball. And I don’t just mean that I don’t have an interest in it. Growing up, I literally thought it was just male netball and was convinced no one was signing up because everyone in my farm school was too engrossed in rugby. It’s by far my least favourite of the “core four” of American sports, and I can honestly admit I have not […]

Monster Mission 100 Review: Good, Simple Sound

Cody Nery Thomson — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 11:48:46 +0000

Headphones can be a little complicated sometimes. Apps, profiles, features out the whazoo, and a million different mentions of whatever marketing jargon can make picking one feel a little confusing. Sometimes, we just want something simple and functional. The Monster Mission 100 is very much that kind of headset. Available locally for somewhere between R500 and R800, depending on where you shop and what sales are running, the Mission 100 sits comfortably in the affordable end of the wireless headphone […]

Transcend 340S 512GB microSD Review: A Fast Card, If Your Handheld Can Keep Up

Regardt van der Berg — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 11:31:13 +0000

As gamers, the continual need to upgrade drive space is not a battle we can get ahead of very easily. Storage has a tendency to disappear very quickly on a gaming machine, even more so on mobile and gaming handhelds. The average size of a game we install on a gaming handheld like the MSI Claw ranges between 50GB and 70GB. Of course, large AAA titles could eat well over 100GB of storage space. This can make a 512GB or […]

Tech Tuesday: What If Your Phone Had DLSS?

Cody Nery Thomson — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 10:06:06 +0000

I’ve been playing games for long enough to remember when better graphics meant you needed a better graphics card. That was pretty much the deal. If you wanted more pixels, prettier lighting and a higher frame rate, you threw more powerful hardware at the problem and hoped your wallet could keep up. That’s obviously still true to an extent, but over the last few years, we’ve also become incredibly good at cheating, and I mean that in the nicest possible […]

Weekly Replay: The Last Straw

BigMacDaddy — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:46:52 +0000

If you told me that Concord would indirectly be responsible for us not getting Kojima’s Metal Gear successor on the PlayStation, I would have hit you on the head with a plakkie. Turns out, there was some truth to that. We all saw the stunning news of Hideo and PlayStation Studios parting ways, leaving the future of Physint up in the air, until Xbox stepped in. It will also now be without the support of the Decima Engine, meaning it […]

LEGO Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover: How 1,599 Pieces Turn Living on Mars Into a STEM Lesson

Arielle Pieterse — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:33:35 +0000

Over the last few weeks, we’ve used LEGO Technic to launch a rocket, watch the Earth orbit the Sun and send a robot trundling across Mars. Which means we’re apparently done letting the robots have all the fun, now it’s time to send people. And that creates a much, much bigger engineering problem. Getting a robotic rover onto Mars is already an almost absurd technological achievement, but humans are annoyingly needy little creatures. We require food, water, oxygen, somewhere to […]

NAGs Friday Steam Wishlist Sale: Forcing Cody To Do Some Work

Cody Nery Thomson — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:05:14 +0000

Look, don’t get me wrong. I super appreciate Arielle covering for me while I was away in Berlin, living it up and checking out all the latest tech at IFA. But I’m starting to feel like she’s enacting a little bit of revenge on me, pretending to be sick so that I’m the one who actually has to do the Steam Wishlist Sale piece this week. She’s even leaned so far into her illness that she’s said she’s not even […]
