Yes, there’s another month coming up in South African gaming. Shame on you if you didn’t think there was. There’s always another month. Weekend One (6 to 8 June) The first full weekend of June starts off as the busy one. The zombies and some human friends from TTSA will be at Trenchtown on Saturday. FIFA 14 and Forza 4…
The gaming calendar should by rights be picking up as the new year has got past its early lethargy. There’s a fair amount happening, but it’s still early stages and we can expect the coming months to be jam-packed with gaming related events. Weekend One (31 January to 2 February) The first weekend of February is a busy one, and…
It’s the holiday season, and quite unsurprisingly, the first half of the month is packed full of action, and then promptly quietens down. This is what is happening around the country in December (and the last two days of November) in your neck of the woods. Weekend One (29 November to 1 December) 2upGamers kicks things off tonight (29 November)…
November is upon us, and to a large degree, most entertainment activities take a small break due to the school exams. That’s not to say there is nothing happening in the country, just that it’s not as much as other months. Weekend One (1 November to 3 November) The band Arc Reactor are hosting an album launch on Friday 1…
October appears to be a slightly quiet month at first glance, but don’t let that fool you. Other than rAge dwarfing most other events, there are always new ones that get announced as the month rolls by. This is what we’re aware of now, but will update as we know more. Weekend One (4, 5 and 6 October) rAge. That…
A pretty busy week has passed and it looks like a busy weekend coming up. Who says there’s nothing happening in South Africa? UCON This past weekend saw the UCT Genshiken Society host their first Anime, cosplay, gaming and lifestyle convention at the UCT campus. The two day event (Saturday 14 September and Sunday 15 September) saw close to 1000…
September has every right to be a quiet one in SA gaming due to rAge happening in early October (4 October to 6 October, to be exact). However, September didn’t get the memo and is still packed with local gaming goodness. Weekend One (6, 7 and 8 September) Ground Zero LAN kicks things off from 9am on Saturday 7 September.…
I can’t really think of anything interesting to say here, so let’s get on with the wrap of the last week of action in SA gaming shall we? 2upGamers eSports The 2upGamers eSports crew has two events this September which will cover a variety of titles to keep many gamers happy. On 14 and 15 September, the crew will be…
Like all of the Trenchtown events to date, the morning started out with a downpour. Rain appears to accompany gaming, but thankfully, unlike the first Trenchtown event it didn’t appear to deter as many players. Even the slight risk of dropping Black Ops 2 for Halo 4 wasn’t quite the disaster-in-waiting it could’ve been. It’s pretty clear there is a…
It’s that time again. Another month, another host of gaming events happening around South Africa. Weekend One The weekend is meant to see the return of the MSSA Western Cape Provincial ‘Championships’. However, this has now been postponed until the weekend of 24 and 25 August. Another MSSA event over the weekend is the 2nd online StarCraft II schools tournament on…
