There is a time every year at my university where it’s really difficult to try and go to class. An entire week, filled with paranoia, with the ominous “will I survive?” question hanging over my head. It’s the week of Humans Vs. Zombies. Waking up on Monday morning and tying that bandana on my arm means one thing - I am going to lose a ton of socks this week, and I’m probably going to get my exercise for the year done in a second.

Being a regular couch potato doesn't mean you don't require some decent strength exercise to boost your muscle strength and improve your performance in many aspects of life.

Properly scaled, it’s big enough to dwarf Braun Strowman and bulky enough to punch a freight train into submission. It would be near impossible to fabricate a suit, right?

Who says lazy people can't run a 10km? Anyone can build up to become a better runner and nothing is a test of your new found running skills than tackling your first race.

What say you? Which chicken wing is superior? Zinger Wings? Their gross dunked variant? Hot Wings? Or are you like some other people in the office who think that chicken wings are a waste to begin with; little bits of oily chicken scraps that aren’t even worth bothering with?

I know, just the thought of buying a pair of running shoes makes you break out into a sweat, but becoming more informed is the perfect way to reduce the effort it'll take to find that new pair of shoes.

South Africa’s East Coast gaming and geek lifestyle convention, ICON Durban, is happening 27 to 29 July. This year, e-gaming joins the tabletop mix, and we've got con tickets up for grabs.
