‘GTA V’ Gameplay

gtavgameplay

We finally get to see gameplay footage of GTAV. Well to start, the voice narrating the video is annoying as f*ck. It sounds like an ad for hair shampoo. Anyhow, the city of San Andreas looks gorgeous and it seems to be a real successor to GTA4. The game alternates between missions, or heists, and open-world exploration. At any time you can jump between the three main characters in the game. GTA V will be released in September, just weeks before the launch of the…

Vine – Is it Old News Already?

Looks like our Vine stay was short and sweet. Facebook just announced video for Instagram, similar to Twitter’s Vine app. The major difference is, unlike Vine’s 6 second clips, Instagram is 15 secs and you can use existing video. Also, there are 13 brand new filters to choose from, something Vine does not have. You can also select your own custom preview thumbnail, which is what your followers will see in their Instagram feed. Hashtags work just the same way, but when you click the…

Paprika Restaurant Review

Paprika

There’s no set date or time for visiting Paprika but there are certain nights that have a tad bit more people than another. We ventured across on a Wednesday and the bar hosted at least 4-5 people, inside about 10 people and the outside patio an easy 15 people. While we waited, we observed the cow-skin couch, the art piece with radiators and pipes, the disco balls, the galvanised roofing and our favourite artist on the screen: the soothing & sexy, Sade. After a glass…

KAVA Reviewed

KAVA-REVIEW-1

Kava at Kapok Hotel is one of the new Italian restaurants on the block creating a buzz around town. Naturally, SCORCH had to find out what this spot was all about. We gathered ourselves, told the guys to take a shower, told the girls to brush their hair and headed to Maraval to check d’ vibes. A much needed and appreciated change from the Avenue hype, KAVA offered a quiet, uptown, perfectly decorated restaurant with service that made us wonder, “We in foreign or wa?”…
