Plants vs. Zombies is a genuine gaming phenomenon, an oddball concept that worked so well that the original PC game was ported over to many, many different platforms. It spawned its own shooter (two of em), and a so-so mobile sequel that was tainted by Electronic Arts being
Your next camera, should you be able to afford one? Sony’s freshly-announced A7R IV, the newest star in the company’s Alpha series show. The Japanese camera-maker announced the 61-megapixel (MP) full-frame mirrorless shooter, along with all its feature
It’s perhaps a little disturbing how often Stuff has written about the humble flamethrower. Elon Musk’s Boring Flamethrower is an obvious one, while setting an HTC One M9 aflame is a more creative use of the flame-spewing… appliance? Appliance is probably the wrong word. Pity the video’s dead. We’ve even seen a drone toting a flamethrower before. And, now, you can own your own flame-spitting drone — though you’re going to have to supply your own drone. Come on baby, light my fire Imaginatively named company Throwflame is about to drop a conversion kit for “…drone platforms with a payload…
It’s getting to be about that time again, when gamers cycle up for the largest computer LAN event in South Africa. We’re talking, of course, about the rAge NAG LAN, which takes place alongside the rAge expo this September. The folks organising the event have unveiled some new branding, as well as the date that tickets for the NAG LAN go on sale — 27 July.

In this week’s Light Start, Huawei’s OS has a new name, The Great Hack hits Netflix, Microsoft is closing some games, and Resident Evil 3 gets an upgrade.
It’s been a busy month here at the Stuff offices. Nearly busy enough to make us forget that we’re giving away three LG Bluetooth speakers to three lucky winners. That’s one speaker each, rather than three speakers per winner. It’s important to be clear up-front. It save yelling later on. Though, to be very correct, it’s LG giving away the two Xboom Go PK3 and one Xboom Go PK5 speaker. We’re just being really, really helpful.
It’s somewhat short notice but Call of Duty: Black Ops IV is getting a bunch of new (paid-for, let’s not get too excited) content in the shape of Operation: Apocalypse Z. The new add-on, as the title suggests, brings more than its fair share of the shambling dead to Activision’s online shooter.
In this week’s Light Start, we’ve got Bill Nye’s science project, US Army audiobooks, Lego Apollo 11 )(in flight), and Disney’s next live-action remake
Man, these product tie-ins are getting complicated. Last week Microsoft teased a throwback to its initial Windows operation system, Windows 1.0. At the time, we had no idea why all the time travel.
