Next weekend, the long-standing gaming and geekiness expo, rAge, makes its Cape Town debut. Once starved for conventions of this ilk, people who live around The Mountain now have two annual geeky expos to look forward to. We’re nt here to talk about the other one though – because rAge is nearly upon us.
Kicking off next Friday, rAge Cape Town at the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World in Goodwood will offer a host of fun things for geeks and their families to do.
“The typical rAge visitor is intelligent, connected, demanding and has a love for gadgets and interacting with the world in new and exciting ways,” rAge hyperbolically says about rAge. “rAge provides a platform for them to experiment with new games, tech and geeky endeavours for themselves. It’s the place to go each year to see all the latest goodies presented in an accessible way, and to be surrounded by people who all share the same passion.”
It’ll certainly be fun. As you may or may not know, we’ve got 10 sets of family passes for the event to give away, courtesy of the events lovely organisers. Here’s who’s won.
Angus Pollock, Wihan Cahill, Dwayne Riedel, Akhona Mbenyana, Leroy Burgess, Roger Odendaal, Enrico Cottee, Ashley Barnard, Kuben Govender and Tasneem Carlse.
To the ten of, congratulations – and please keep an eye on your mailboxes (and your spam filters). We’ll be mailing you soon to get your information.

They’ll be the best, classiest, most luxurious tickets. And I’ll make Mexico pay for them.
DragonSpirit009

Well I’m making my friends pay for them. At least they can do that seeing I’ll be the one driving to the venue.

Alien Emperor Trevor
March 8, 2016 at 13:05
I probably will, haven’t decided yet for definite because there doesn’t seem to be any kind of event plan that says what stuff is happening when.

I am stuck at work until 3 on Friday. So Friday is kind of out.
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 8, 2016 at 13:19
For me it’s a toss up between Sat & Sun, but probably Sat afternoon. Don’t even know how long I’ll hang around – crowds irritate me, not interested in playing with consoles, mostly want to check out the merch. Pappa soek ‘n nuwe pop. I mean, action figure.
Ottokie vs the forces of Evil
March 8, 2016 at 13:22
Same, I just want to go pick up some merch and a PS4 at a good price if possible 😛

Yup, already got it!

I need to freeze her so that she stays loyal and does not die

I’m still a beginner to the game. Only because I have no internet during the week at my flat so I don’t get a lot of play time

She is only my second Kubrow, and NO WAY will I consign her
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 8, 2016 at 13:41
I consigned a whole bunch to the Lotus a while back, made me quite sad to part with them. Now I’m just keeping a male & female of each type. Where I have more than one.

I’ve got 5 eggs waiting for them.

I think it might be another egg, but I have been out the loop for a while now 😛
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 8, 2016 at 13:47
Last I heard it’s the same egg, but you add some DNA space magic & presto it hatches into a kavat.
Ottokie vs the forces of Evil
March 8, 2016 at 13:47
2 eggs dropped the other day right by each other and I could not pick them up.
*Hello darkness my old friend

So I’ve always wondered how your race pro-creates. You have 5 eggs
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 8, 2016 at 13:50
We don’t procreate. We anticreate because we hate life.
