After hours of deliberation, we've come up with the definitive list of which Nintendo Switch games are the absolute best for those long hours of load shedding.

This week, the dread of rolling blackouts returned as Eskom announced that load-shedding was back. The new bout of outages were blamed on faulty generators, with generational capacity well below the required output. Thanks to those faulty generators, we’ve had two days of load-shedding, draining away whatever positive sentiment still remained.

It’s been a while since our power utility, Eskom, has yanked the power from us in rolling, scheduled intervals. I’ve really missed the romantic, candle-lit takeaway dinners and brisk cold showers afforded by load-shedding. I miss having to read by candlelight because there’s little else to do, like I’m stuck in the Victorian era. I miss the economy grinding to an absolute halt. If you miss these things too, well then I have some great news for you! Loadshedding’s back!

Yesterday I had to wait 3 hours to have a chicken schnitzel for supper, and that’s...well, it’s just a long time to wait for a schnitzel. Worst part is, is that in that time of need during load shedding, I didn’t even have video games to distract me from the pain of an absent schnitzel. That’s why I found these ten games to play during load shedding and thought I’d share them with you!

Is the Xbox One really costing an extra $250 million in electricity in just the USA? What are the energy implications of the "instant on" console?

Been hit with load shedding? How do you pass the time? Here're some ideas.

How much money are you wasting by leaving your console idling?
