These past few weeks have been good and bad. Let me explain. Two weeks ago my chinchilla Maurice got ill and died suddenly. This was after I had gone through a few tough weeks where my hedgehog Axel wasn't going to make it, but luckily pulled through and is doing fine now. Losing a pet is so tough and I miss that furball like crazy. Work…
Aladdin has broken box office records, the Lion King is being released and you can buy a cassette player. You'd be forgiven for wondering what year it is because all of these things are happening now. So let's take a trip down memory lane today. Here's all the internet news you need to know this week. Are tapes back? Yes, I realise that some of you…

I found out about Tech Relief and figured I'd share a bit about what they do and who they are because I think it is a rather rad concept. GirlCode is an initiative I've supported in the past, it's an organisation that aims to get more women…

Of course, gaming has evolved since then and I couldn't wait to…
I haven't actually had a chance to update you on this because it has been taking up a bunch of my time BUT I was voted in General Manager for the Overwatch World Cup Committee for Team South Africa.

Remember a few months ago I headed to Amsterdam to host the European Smash Ball Cup? Well, it gave me a taste for the awesomeness that is Super Smash Bros Ultimate as a competitive title. A few days ago I was browsing through Facebook when I found the Super Smash Bros South Africa group (which I joined straight away) and it was there that I found…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl and this is my little space on the internet. My friends and I share our love for all things gaming, geek and gadgets here. I'm a South African Esports host and content creator. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. I'm a giant nerd, own far too many pairs of Converse and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
