As we come to the end of the year, it is time to reflect on the year that was.

You'll likely remember awhile back Microsoft launched their Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC), which was designed for people with disabilities to allow them to play. The controller retails for $100 (R1480)…
I work in esports. Granted most of my work involves swinging a mic on stage and not really dealing with the nuts and bolts of how things work behind the scenes, but I think starting out in the extremely tiny and relatively new scene that is South African Esports means I've had slightly more involvement in the behind the scenes stuff. For the most part, South…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl. I'm an esports host and shoutcaster. I work around the world on rad esports competitions. I've worked on PUBG Europe League, Overwatch Contenders and a bunch of fun Nintendo Europe events. I also create content around tech, gaming and esports. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. You can find out more in the about section (you'll also find ways to contact me there). I'm a giant nerd and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
