In 2005, A Nightmare on Elm Street: Real Nightmares was set to air. Englund would have hosted the series, which would have starred real people attempting to conquer their nightmares by being exposed to their deepest fears. If it sounds similar to that other show about phobias, Fear Factor, then you’re in the exact same frame of mind as the network CBS was when they cancelled the Freddy series after a mere four episodes.

Over the last decade, Assassin’s Creed has been more than just a video game series. Trendy clothing, light novels and even a well-received film managed to spin out of Ubisoft’s premiere franchise in leap of faithing into conveniently placed haystacks dotted around various locales throughout history. So what medium is left for Assassin’s Creed to shove a small wrist-blade into? Anime, that’s what.

I’m all for supporting talent that I like, and lately, that talent isn’t locked to an SABC contract or an analogue broadcast signal. It’s a feeling that a lot of people locally probably concur with, as the best entertainment around is found on YouTube, Twitch and several other streaming platforms. Even better, that content can easily be accessed from tablets, laptops and smartphones. Devices which the SABC think should be regulated further, in the form of an additional TV license.

Samsung is opening the flood gates to better HDR standards with HDR10+. Which seeks to break down the hold Dolby Vision has on higher-end TVs

While most TVs are sold as “Full-HD”, cheaper options were “HD-Ready”. The difference between the two? HD-Ready maxed out out at resolution of 1280 x 720p, which is high definition but not the highest definition around. Full-HD packs in the deficit with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 for a sharper result to the trained eye. According to TV distributor Nu-World Industries however, most people can’t see that difference.

In a bid to claw back some of the mid-range, Samsung is launching a cheaper line of fully equipped 4K HDR TVs.

Twitch's airing of Power Rangers and Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting is leading Twitch (and Amazon) in a new direction of airing television pilots and other non-gaming content.

Last year, the local cosplay community started something special. Cosplay has always been inherently sexy, but the debut cosplay competition of SEXPO 2016 was all that and it was sex-positive stuff on top of that. A combination of two lifestyle cultures, joining together to forge something special. There’s an analogy in there somewhere, but for the life of me I cannot find it. 2016’s first event was so much fun in fact, that we had to have a second go at celebrating cosplay.
