!CALLING ALL ARTISTS! We're getting closer to the 2018 South Afrifur convention, and as we did last year, we'll be opening up the floor for any submissions for convention t-shirt designs. This year's theme is Wild West, so go nuts with ideas. We're looking for a design that will work best on a blac...

Re: Packing list

What's seating arrangements like? Should I drop some campchairs into the mix? Hey, Sudan. Extra seating would be a good idea. Camping or folding chairs would work well outside. Also, feel free to bring along anything along the lines of entertainment. Handheld consoles, Magic the Gathering, whatever...

EDIT: One question - does the con have a theme?
There's no set theme, no. Although "first" and "South Africa" might be considered our themes, if that's a good starting point for you :P

Hey, everyone. I'll be driving up from Cape Town (Northern Suburbs side, but willing to drive around a bit) on the Thursday before the con. I might have one person with me in the car already, but I believe there should be space for one more. If you don't mind doing your share of driving and / or hel...

I wish it was the coldest winter ever with snow and all across South Africa. World War 3 breaks out and, after a short ICBM exchange, the whole world is engulfed in nuclear winter.

Re: Convention Q&A

@Scratch So you're saying the entry cost is definitely R2400 then? I said "you'll be good to go." R1200 (the projected cost) < R2400 (R200 x 12), so it will cover entrance, activities, housing and 2 meals a day. I hope I don't have to individually work out everyone's driving and/or flight costs for...

I played it somewhere last year. Way more fun with a controller, but that's besides the point. It's a really good game. Normal mode is a bit easy, but you can see that this is one game developer / designer's personal vision. Combos are nice and over-the-top, there's a lot of nice side quests, some p...

Mirror's Edge

I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, it's a great experiment to say the least. The artistic direction is wonderful: The huge contract between the sterile-white environment and the red 'runner's vision' indicators cuts a clear path through the game world. The glare, bloom and motio...

Re: Portal: Best game ever. Any questions?

True. I'm kinda worried about the same thing. As much as I'd like new Portal puzzles, I'm afraid of it getting drawn out and boring. This is purely a personal speculation, but I think that Valve will be bringing the Portal technology into Half-life 2 Episode 3. If that happens, it should make for mo...
