SAMA City

18
SAMA City is what Sun City becomes every year, round about this time, when the music industry descends upon the holiday resort. As The Star’s music journalist Therese Owen puts it, the various hotels have begun to correlate with areas in Joburg – ‘The Palace’ is Sandton, ‘The Main Hotel’, Melville and ‘Cabanas’, Soweto. 

For the past couple of years, there have been two events; Friday night usually ends up playing Ugly Stepsister to Saturday night’s Cinderella. And so it was with this past weekend. Friday night felt like one was watching a dress rehearsal that should have been practised a few more times before curtaincall.
You’ll know the winners – from listening to EWN ;) or reading them here.

So, then, highlights and not-so-highlights, from someone who has “been there and done that”:

Highlights:

5. The SAMAs stepping it up a bit – live webcast, nice goodie bags, attention to the TV show (the organisers brought in top notch director Julia Knowles).

4. The musical director Jon Savage’s choice of collaborations: the performance between Tumi and Thandiswa, the Parlotones and Louise Carver, and the gospel collab with The Plain Truth. Oh, and Kwela Tebza lighting themselves up as they played their pennywhistles!

3. The stage set-up – it looked fantastic, especially when HHP’s Mpitse being brought to life on it.
2. District 9’s Wikus van der Merwe making a cameo guest presenting appearance – and roping in “onse Charlize”. Sharlto Copley’s girlfriend told me it was set up and Charlize was in on the whole thing.

1. Tumi on stage with Zaki Ibrahim, Yesterday’s Pupil and MXO at the Dungeon (which I was told afterwards was the bottom of the pool at the Valley of the Waves). It was by far the best party to be at – especially when DJ Kenzhero took to the one’s and two’s. Also honorable mention for top performance must also go to Selaelo Selota at the Palace, who kept us entertained with his onstage antics.
Lowlights:
5. Not having a seat because Row I did not exist, and being moved around 3 times as the show was starting. As a judge, this was not so great – as a journalist, it was just plain ridiculous.
4. The tacky-looking show on Friday night and the shameless self-promotion of a certain tabloid magazine onstage, while handing out awards.

3. Rent-a-crowd in the cheap seats upstairs booing when Lifetime Achievement reciepients Carike Keuzenkamp and Jabu Khanyile’s wife tried to make their speeches.
2. The stampede by the North West masses as they all tried to get to the afterparty – during which a friend’s phone was jacked.
1. It felt to me like one big popularity contest – a lot of the awards went to the most popular artists of the day, and not necessarily because of the musical strength of the album/song in question.

Best Afrikaans Alternative Album winner Die Heuwels Fantasties’ frontman Pierre – who is much taller without his beanie (and in general!)
Best Female winner – the gorgeous Lira
The wonderful Neo Muyanga from Blk Sonshine – nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album, English

  3. From a core gameplay perspective, Brawlhalla mirrors Smash in that the goal is to knock other fighters off the map. It features a simple control scheme that lets new players jump in quickly, which is perfect for a free-to-play game. Additionally, a myriad of interesting game modes, a plethora of maps, and a robust roster of fighters keep the experience fresh. And yes, weapons fall from the sky just like in Smash. In the free-to-play model, Brawlhalla lets players play as six different fighters each week. If you spend $20, you unlock all 41 fighters and all future fighters, including Rayman. It’s fast, easy to play, and has an engaging progression system. http://flight-simulator-pc11987.is-blog.com/5977565/fun-christmas-games-online Access to the underlying system is required for some games and apps. When you start Quake 2 for example, you get a browser prompt to allow EmuOS access to the file system. As noted in a video by Joe Chip (embedded below), because the Edge browser does not currently support a mouse on Xbox, some games which require mouse and keyboard, such as Quake 2 RTX, do not play well via the browser.

Aw, I wish the headline would specify “Quake 2” — I loved the original but thought number 2 sucked.What’s the best version of the original these days anyway? GLQuake or WinQuake? Or has anyone redone the textures and stuff (like the Duke3D High Res Pack)?

Это могут быть и продукты питания, и ароматы, и травы. Sweet Home Два соединения: андростадиенон (содержится в поте и сперме мужчин) и эстратетраенол (содержится в моче женщин). Раньше их считали человеческими феромонами. Однако австралийские учёные доказали, что они никак не влияют на возбуждение, а все духи из секс-шопа – это просто ароматное плацебо.
