There are now Star Wars Instant Pots

By Geoffrey Tim
November 27, 2019 - 6 years ago

Star Wars properties may get people hyped (and weirdly angry), but as the infinitely better Star Wars parody Spaceballs pointed out, the money’s really in the merchandising. And good god, will Disney license the Star Wars property out to just about anybody with money. We recently saw a bunch of incredibly overpriced Star Wars Le Creuset cookware, and now Williams Sonoma – the company behind the famous Instant Pot – is delivering Star Wars themed electronic pressure cookers.

Ok Boomer. It’s simple, succinct and already people say its ageist in its use and the old people equivalent of a racial slur. Screw that. If we’ve endured years of ridicule then it’s time for Boomers to get a taste of their own medicine for once, something that the Internet has been brilliant at. Here’s a brief taste of the best meme of the year:.

The American convention calendar may be all but spent, but a hop across the pond and you’d find that the Brits are still ready and raring to go when it comes to celebrating pop culture. Held twice a year, London’s Movie Comic Media expo may have started life as a single day event in 2001 but right now it’s an entire weekend of fun that runs the course of three days.

We’re back to Stage 2 load-shedding as Eskom suffers major setback

By Geoffrey Tim
October 18, 2019 - 6 years ago

This week, the dread of rolling blackouts returned as Eskom announced that load-shedding was back. The new bout of outages were blamed on faulty generators, with generational capacity well below the required output. Thanks to those faulty generators, we’ve had two days of load-shedding, draining away whatever positive sentiment still remained.

The cosplay year, she is coming to an end. With San Diego Comic Con in the rearview mirror, Emerald Comic Con over and our very own Comic Con Africa high-fiving DragonCon on a job well done, there’s only one big name left on the costume circuit: New York Comic Con. This year’s event took place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in the Big Apple, and with over 200, 000 attendees present it was clear that convention fatigue had yet to set in.

Stage 2 Load-shedding returns as Eskom warns of capacity shortage

By Geoffrey Tim
October 16, 2019 - 6 years ago

It’s been a while since our power utility, Eskom, has yanked the power from us in rolling, scheduled intervals. I’ve really missed the romantic, candle-lit takeaway dinners and brisk cold showers afforded by load-shedding. I miss having to read by candlelight because there’s little else to do, like I’m stuck in the Victorian era. I miss the economy grinding to an absolute halt. If you miss these things too, well then I have some great news for you! Loadshedding’s back!
