Personally, I love a good stout. They are malty, delicious beers that provide an unique flavor. Guinness is arguably the world’s most popular, however, I would argue that South African Breweries’ own Castle Milk Stout is right up there amongst the best. Decembers here on the southern tip of Africa tend to be muggy and … Read more
Black Label is easily one of South Africa’s staple beverages. It reminds me of my misguided early 20’s, most of which I spent performing with various bands and trying to find my feet in this world. It invokes memories of some of the wildest nights I ever had, and I have raised this particular brew … Read more
I remember when the original Pokemon Snap came out for the N64, all the kids I knew were super excited. It was the first Pokemon game in 3D, and while people were hoping for a game that featured 3D battles, the game was extremely popular anyway. It was a novel premise to photograph Pokemon in … Read more
Capcom has something of a love-hate relationship with its Ace Attorney fans. Admittedly, it’s a very weird franchise. A series of visual novels where absurdly named attorneys battle over equally absurd trials that throw all semblance of legal procedure out the window. But it works, dammit, and the fans of the series crave each new … Read more
I remember playing the original Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town when I had it on the Gameboy Advance. It was one of the few GBA games I had at the time and it was a birthday present from a friend. I’ve always been a big fan of the franchise with its adorable features and … Read more
Gacha, short for gachapon, is often viewed as an exploitative skinner box made specifically to spear whales and keep them in tow until they can no longer afford to play or break the line. That’s because it is. However lucrative it can be, general gaming news ignores it until a whale drops 5 figures and … Read more

I’ll always have a soft spot for KWV, a truly iconic South African brand probably most famous locally for their brandy. I’m not big on spirits, but wine is always a great companion of food. Much like last time, I got some frozen pizzas as an alternative to getting takeouts, and couldn’t resist pairing it … Read more
Bastard!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- — which will hereby be referred to as Bastard!! because like hell I’m typing this out each time! — is an adaption of the 1988 manga of the same name following in the footsteps of its earlier six episode OVA adaptation from 1992. Like many anime fans of a certain vintage, this fresh new … Read more

I was having a glass of wine a few nights ago and thought I’d write a few words about it. But I can’t call it a SnackTAYku Review for a few reasons, the main obvious one being that wine is not a snack. Welcome to [TAYste]! I picked this wine up for one reason, and … Read more
