South African History

I think it's important to briefly mention the importance of the 2nd of February in South African history. Today is the 20th anniversary of the announcement by F.W. de Klerk that South Africa will become a democratic country and Nelson Mandela will be released from prison. It's a bitter sweet anniversary because while we remember how much potential the country held after that announcement no one would have hoped for the corruption ridden, haven for organised crime we live in today. While we may be free of apartheid we have sunken into the slum that the right wingers fought so hard to prevent. Winnie Mandela openly admits we are not living the dream we once had. Poverty, crime, aids and corruption are worse now than during apartheid and it's tearing the country apart. The ANC's path of destruction must come to an end.

Quake3 in HD

Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

Die Antwoord Is Conceptual Art

“Corporate giants can’t fuck with the link between our art and our clients”, one of the many recycled phrases in Waddy Jones ’ arsenal. This middle class English-speaking white boy from Randburg has spent many years perfecting the art of rap but lyrical gymnastics alone won’t pay the bills. Keeping it real was ironically not his claim to fame, completely redefining his personality to a stereotypical white trash South African reflecting a prominent hardcore sub-culture was what got him there. “Ninja” is probably the only aspect of the zen loving individual that’s been carried through to Die Antwoord .
