After a short break – in which we spent time discussing the upcoming zombie apocalypse and whether Idols or X Factor is the better entertainment on those lazy days – we are back. And we decided to kick off the new year with a Bang! Whallop! Smack! We have a gamer who is probably every gamer’s fantasy. Yes, Chanel is…
It’s only weeks to go before you gorge yourself on Christmas dinner and drink until your cheeks turn pink and you fall drunkenly onto the couch while the gifts reveal another pair of socks from a chuffed relative. Or maybe not. Either way, the run up to all that has plenty in store for you if you’re a gamer residing…
If you happened to miss one of the two FIFA tournaments happening this weekend… shame on you. Some would argue it was actually three events considering there was the Eastwoods FIFA Champs on Saturday and a tournament on Friday and Sunday at GecoSports. Clearly, FIFA gamers on both PS3 and Xbox 360 have plenty to keep them involved, but still…
… Because we care. Really. We do. So we thought we’d give you a little update on what’s happening at the moment in the console competitive and even social scene. However, there is always some bad news to go with the good news, so shall we start with the bad stuff first? Bad stuff It appears that FIFA 13 on…
Lots of great ideas are lucky to survive one month, let alone one year. Of course, it’s reasonable to assume that when one’s little baby makes it to that first milestone you should take yourself on a luxury holiday because it’s probably been a lot of hard work to get to that point and you deserve the time away from…
The next 2upGamers will be happening next Friday (2 November) and promises to be a bit of a humdinger. It will not only mark the one year anniversary of the (generally) monthly event, but it will also be the Need for Speed Most Wanted launch party. Not only that, but Apex Interactive will be there show casing their Turtle Beach…
October – even though it’s still only halfway done – has proved to be the busy month in SA gaming, with many tournaments and other eSports activities reaching their climax. The DoGaming League and the IeSF were the “glamorous” events, but there were (and still are) a few others that happened while you weren’t taking note… The DoGaming League/Championship was…
It was a cold and rainy night. Damn. It wasn’t. It was actually a pretty decent early spring night. Now while accurate, that does lack a sense danger and gaming is all about danger – isn’t it? In this particular case, the danger was that the majority of attendees would get lost and land up at the wrong venue –…
To those that know me, I might be starting to sound a little like a 12” vinyl record (ask your parents) stuck in a groove, but it really is an exciting time in South African gaming. In saying so, I’m also a firm believer that the core reason we have reached this exciting time is due to the unwavering belief…
A plumber. Skid marks. The runs. Well, running. And gas. Probably not quite the things that make up an average Friday night around your place. However, these were the key ingredients to greet the around 80 attendees to the most recent 2upGamers event on this past Friday. A Plumber This 2upGamers’ event (other than being a regular gaming social) was…
