Pac-Man has been around for more than three decades. This little yellow mouth has adorned cereal boxes, had its own cartoon series, and appeared on virtually every gaming platform to have ever been released. But here are five facts you probably didn’t know about him.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’d want a robot clone too, it’s just not totally clear why Henrik Scharfe, professor at Aalborg University, actually got one assembled by the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute in Japan. It’s ostensibly the first android with a beard, though, so yay science.
There is nothing quite like the excitement generated by a motor show. Especially the Geneva Motor Show, which has opened for its 81st edition. Here is a little taste of what’s been going down over in Geneva.
As if gangsterism in the Western Cape wasn’t bad enough, I was as shocked as anyone to find out that Planning Minister, and former Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel is a hardened gangster whose open letter accusing Jimmy Manyi of being a racist, may have unleashed the full wrath of Jacob Zuma’s best friend.
Attention all Star Wars acolytes: your beloved messiah, George Lucas, has decided to milk even more money out of you. Yes, he’s re-releasing the entire series again, but this time in 3D. All of which will make him richer than Rupert Murdoch and Oprah combined.

The last time I went to the Puma Social Club in Cape Town, I went head-to-head with Herschelle Gibbs – table tennis bat in my one hand, cold brewskie in the other. Hot babes all over my stick. Because that’s how you roll at the Puma Social Club. I’d kill to check out the one […]
The French are preparing to sail themselves into unchartered waters when the ban on wearing the Muslim burqa and other Islamic face coverings in public places comes into effect in just over a month. Racial tensions in that country have already begun to boil with the John Galliano “I love Hitler” incident. This will be interesting.
How is this for Monday awesomeness? That flying house from Up! has been recreated and all it took was three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The house floated about three kilometers into the air for about an hour. More pics inside.
Brazilian ad agency Loducca has put together a collection of geo-tagged street art from Google Street View for Red Bull. The site is sweetly designed, with decent Cape Town representation. How exactly this is going to sell Red Bell any caffeinated beverages is beyond me, but whatever.
I’m not going to pretend that the Caprice Beach Volleyball Tournament was packed with revolting-looking people and everyone was bored. As much as I don’t want you to feel bad if you didn’t make it, IT WAS EPIC. Well done to the Savages who took the glory! I got that pic of the girl from […]
ANC Youth League President and man of letters, Julius Malema, says that his organisation would like some shares in mining company Anglo American, 60% to be precise. The predicated price of what would be a record take-over, the ANCYL predict, would be about R0.00.
If you, like me, weren’t able to get to a television for whatever reason this weekend, you may have tuned in and listened to the blokes on the couch on 2oceansvibe Radio and their alternative commentary. You may also have heard them speaking in awe about the cult-like properties of the “Bearded One”. Here is his story.
Phil Collins Quits Music – His back hurts from a dislocated vertebra. He’s lost some of his hearing. Nerve damage makes it hard for him to hold his drumsticks. The decades of rock and roll have taken their toll on Phil Collins – both from the wear-and-tear on his body and the pain from the constant […]
Look, we dig the odd spot of gaming here at 2oceansvibe. If you swing by the 2oceansvibe Media Headquarters in Waterkant Street and head upstairs, just past Richard Hardiman’s desk but in front of the boardroom, you may or may not find a little lounge set up there, tastefully furnished, with the odd plasma screen, […]
When you go and see U2 in concert you expect a religious experience of some kind. And why wouldn’t you? God is on lead vocals after all. And the price of the ticket leads you to believe He’s going to pay you some special attention, forgive you for your sins and send you on your […]
This has Blood Diamond 2 written all over it. In fact I’m going to tweet DiCaprio about this just as soon as I finish writing this piece. Don’t you want to hear more of Danny Archer’s bru’s and boets too? Either way, this is a big diamond we are talking about.
What’s in my bag? Free songs by Die Heuwels Fantasties, Moses Metro Man, and Dance, You’re on Fire! That’s right folks, step right up.
There has been a lot of talk on the net about Ryan Reynolds’ new girlfriend whom he was spotted with at the Woodstock Biscuit Mill market. No-one seems to know her name but luckily our buddies over at GQ managed to get this shot and they have confirmed her name is Agnes Fischer. Well done […]
I love Isaiah Mustafa. You love Isaiah Mustafa. But the honeymoon is over, Isaiah, and it’s only right that you show us a little more than your honey-glazed eyes or perfect teeth. Take us behind the curtain; show us how you make the magic happen, commercially.
Everyone knows that cricket players only play cricket to enable their true passion in life: the scoring of chicks. Cricket players are even better at scoring chicks than rugby players: Fact!
Just when you thought the institution of marriage couldn’t become more of a joke, now you can get out of one at the price of dinner and a movie. Thanks to the internet, you can now file for divorce without having to log out of your latest quest on World Of Warcraft. What a pleasure.
Shell claims its SA exploration for shale gas in the Karoo will use safe techniques not known to harm the environment and “vows” not to pollute Karoo water. But since when is hydraulic fracturing a safe technique?
We’re so proud of the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls and the way they’re quietly destroying the globe with their beauty. Take for example our very first Weathergirl, Genevieve Morton, who finds herself in the pages of the US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! I was paging through the latest issue on my iPad (thanks Digicape) and got such […]
The professor did what? Yes, I also mumbled it back to myself in trepidation when I came across this little beauty. An actual sex demo, with a toy, was conducted for a class of psychology students at Northwestern University in Illinois in the States this week. Taking it to the next level prof, next level.
Charlie Sheen has just been awarded the Guinness World Record for “Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers on Twitter” Yes, in case you missed it, that was another win. And it only took him 25 hours and 17 minutes.
Yesterday,social cyclists taking part in a Critical Mass event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, we’re struck and injured by a vehicle accelerating through the crowd of cyclists. How no one was killed in the process is mystifying, and the only bright spot on this whole affair. Police have arrested a suspect.
They can do that now. By ‘they’ I mean ‘those with money and de facto power,’ obviously, not specifically the heads of the PRC – but I mean government scrutiny of human movement is being implemented on a huge, huge scale. It’s called the Information Platform of Real-time Citizen Movement – which sounds like a good and reasonable platform.
Most of us have been hounded by debt collectors at some point in our lives, but I doubt anyone has ever had their debt scrapped because of it. Yet a judge in Britain set aside a debt of over R200,000 in an effort to reprimand collectors for “torturing” their customer.
