Ag man vitriol comes with the territory I suppose and no comedian is immune to such criticism.

This is satire. Yusuf Daniels is an author who published his first book some time last year I think it was. 'Living Coloured' is a collection of short comedic stories where he reflects on growing up as a coloured kid in Cape Town. Facebook was a huge part of his his growing exposure. He gained quite a substantial following, which he later used as a free platform to advertise small local business. He continues to retain relevance with his facebook posts. Almost all of which are just satire.

True. But I'd argue that many of us splitting hairs over marginal gains could probably attribute much of the perceived performance benefit to the placebo effect of new bike stoke than a degree here or a centimeter there.

Are you gonna bring koesisters?

Don't forget about Taal Monument. But that's strictly shuttle.

I don't know how to sort frames in the classifieds by size?

Now I have to see the cranks.

A standard best left forgotten.

Its the devkit. For devs. Not the end user console. Its not unusual for these to leak first. It means a handful of game developers will start testing. And eventually get to working on a few titles to be released with the consoles launch.

Very few titles these days actually support split screen. You'd be hard pressed to find a racer or shooter that isn't 10 years old with a few exceptions that are 5+ years old. The split screen days are pretty much over. Nintendo is probably the last bastion of hope when it comes to split screen games. While they still burn a candle for them. They are by no means Nintendo's focus point. That being said. There are many great couch couch co op games to choose from and neither console favors couch co op play better than the other. I love couch co ops/pvp games. The ones that don't need split screen is often far more fun anyways. Fifa, Street Fighter, Overcooked, Speed Runners, Lovers Spacetime and Rocket league to name a few are great games to enjoy at home with people who are actually in the same room.

I bought it. I think the price is a bit steep for what it is but I also feel like I should be supporting local devs. It was fun with a friend for one night. A lekker throwback to old school, side scrolling fighting games. The local jargon and humor is a great touch for any saffa gamer. The artwork is fantastic and its pretty well thrown together too, effects, cut scenes etc. The game mechanics is pretty straight forward and you get the hang of it pretty quickly. I didn't notice any immediate bugs while playing and it actually played pretty well. I was disappointed that it had no ultra-wide support and the games repetitive nature in both play and humor ensured the novelty wore off pretty quick. This will make a great 2 player arcade game at local bars though and the devs should really look into that. I'd like to see a pvp game from them next. Coop is fun. But sometimes its way more fun to choose from a selection of characters and bliksem each other. It will have a much longer shelf life than the current title and its an opportunity to showcase a host of characters which truly reflect South Africa's rich cultural diversity.

Look at the exclusives then decide. They both do the same thing really and share many, many of the same games. They both work well as media centres too. While most titles will release on both platforms. PS will have exclusives like God of War, Spiderman and The last of us. While Xbox is basically Forza, Halo and Gears of War. I chose to go xbox for a few reasons The controller is more ergonomically sensible to me and feels more comfortableI use my xbox as a media centre as much as I do for gaming. Microsoft has lots of apps I use for this to work between my console and all the other devices on my home lan. The seemless connectivity between Microsoft's platform sharing works well for me. The xbox can read my cloud and I use plex to stream movies from it. Game pass. This is Microsoft's version of a gaming subscription. What makes it different to the rest is its multi platform support. If a game is released on both Xbox and windows I have access to both. So I pay the R150 or so a month to play a list of say about 100 odd games. Some better than others. And the list changes everymonth. I can choose to play on the platform of my choice assuming the game supports it. I prefer playing racing games on console so that's where I play forza. But prefer shooters on a pc so that's where I play Wolfenstein. Pretty good value for one sub. And nobody does that except Microsoft.I'm not saying xbox is better. Its just better for me.

So this game is called. Everything... Its hard to explain how to you play but the trailer does a decent job of explaining it somewhat. You play as any and every organism you wish. From tiny bacteria to entire galaxies. You decide what happens and witness the effects thereof. Its quite amazing actually. The trailer has also made history in that it was the first game trailer to ever be nominated for an Oscar. Now free on Epic and only a 1.3gb download. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/HdJk8ROpuEo

This one squeezes in here quite nicely and has been on my radar for a while. The chameleon is one of Santa Cruz's oldest bikes. And two decades later, it still hasn't shifted from its roots. Which is simply. A bike that doesn't quite fit into any specific category. And can do a bit of pretty much everything. The geo is somewhat interesting to say the least. The front centre and head angle are conservative by modern trail standards. That and its 130mm fork hardly puts it in the AMHT category either. The overall geo lean more towards slope bike numbers but its not really that either. At least no slope bike I ever knew came with either 27+/29 wheels. The rear wheel has also been smoeshed right up into the seat tube along horizontal dropouts. (Sjoe!) The more I look at it. The more I realize how much thought actually went into making it. I'd love to own one and just try everything on it. https://youtu.be/aU7QITLNX9Y

Please use larger text next time you label your images. I had to like zoom in to figure out which was the wheel and which was the jack.

I love these frames with the integrated post clamp

Dont forget that as part of Ubisoft's subscription launch. You get to play the first month free. I gotta say. Compared to the rest of the subs out there this is by far the best value for money. And all of us get to play free for September. https://youtu.be/uKW9473ERUg Also the Breakpoint beta just dropped too. Been waiting way too long for this one. https://youtu.be/6dl96_-ehbI

When you have a diverse portfolio of investments and shares. A few properties, vehicles and in some cases... wives. You may find yourself in a position where the most sensible thing to do really is to buy the most ridiculously priced sled out there. Even those of us who live seemingly comfortably, with more disposable income than your average joe. Still can't comprehend what its really like to be absurdly wealthy. To have so much stuff and so much money that its actually hard to find things you want to spend it on. Most knee jerk reactions to crazy purchases go a little something like: 'That's crazy. Even if I could afford it I wouldn't.' Or so you think. To put things in perspective. This handbag sold for a whopping R3mil last year Now if you were Jeff Bezos. At his last recorded forbes net worth (and some of skollie's quick math) He could buy over 500,000 bags like those. Imagine the pressure that man feels when his anniversary comes up. McKenzie must be like: 'Is this what you think of me? I'm not some smelly pirate hooker Jeff. Spend some money you cheap slut. Its our anniversary jeez.' No wonder they got divorced.

I could never relate to any talk of bar flex. Never felt it and if I did I wouldn't know. But I had this bike once that had a stem with a bigger than usual clamp size over the bar. Still 31.8 but that clamp size I could definitely feel in the bikes handling. And I ain't the most receptive when it comes the differences between those kinds of bike subtleties.
