Unlike most gamers my age, I never grew up playing the LEGO games, instead, I spent my childhood taking real-life risks navigating my LEGO covered bedroom floor. The first time I got a touch of the far less dangerous digital version of LEGO was when I was already a fully-fledged adult (yes mom, that's right, I'm an adult now) and met my partner who, unlike me,…
I have a problem. If I'm honest I have way more than just one singular problem. But the problem I want to chat about today takes centre stage: I am totally and completely addicted to my Nintendo Switch. Yes, laugh away but it's true.

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!
