In Review: Reviews | Resensies Post & Pepper

Carlo Hoogendijk

“Post & Pepper” is ’n fynproewersrestaurant wat onlangs sy eerste jaar in die bedryf gevier het. Hulle is in die ou Stellenbosch-poskantoor op die hoek van Bird- en Pleinstraat geleë. Maar jy sou nooit kon dink dat dié nuut opgeknapte, mooi en moderne restaurant eens ’n poskantoor was nie! Wat my eerste getref het toe ek daar instap, was die rustigheid. Die mure en meubels se koel kleure, gekombineerd met die stadige agtergrondmusiek, laat ’n mens vergeet van enige haas wat jy dalk gehad het en ’n mens haal sommer dieper asem. Nadat jy by jou tafel gaan sit het, kom daar dadelik een van die vriendelike kelnerinne om te vra of jy stil of vonkelwater wil hê. Sy sorg dat jou waterglas altyd vol is. Later is dit ook sy wat noukeurig en geduldig die spyskaart vir jou verduidelik, jou bestelling neem en ná 15 minute jou eerste gang vir jou bring. Ná elke gang bring sy vir jou ook ’n nuwe mes, vurk, lepel en bord.

Só werk die spyskaart: Twee mense deel drie gange, elk met twee verskillende borde kos (uitsluitend nagereg). Elke persoon kies twee borde kos, en die eerste twee is klaar vir jou gekies. Die kos was baie smaaklik, ryk, en definitief vullend genoeg vir middag- of aandete. Elke gang is ’n mooier prentjie as die vorige en die geure pas so goed bymekaar. Dit is nie asof jy drie aparte disse eet nie, maar een, lang en uitgestrekte maaltyd geniet.

NBA2k is a video game franchise that has been around for over two decades and has become the go-to game for basketball enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, it has the same problem as the FIFA series with each annual release being very similar. Even with this occurring there are still some noteworthy features and improvements in this year’s release that can be discussed.

One of the main new features added in NBA2k23 is the Jordan challenges where you relive every major game in Micheal Jordan’s career. Ranging from his college championship finals game playing for the University of North Carolina to his final match facing the Utah Jazz in the 1998 NBA finals. Play- restaurant, is die kospryse. Die opsie wat ons gevat het (die “sharing menu”) was R425 per persoon. Dit is dus nie ’n restaurant wat ’n mens gereeld sal besoek nie, maar dit is eintlik perfek, want hoekom sal jy wil gewoond raak aan sulke wonderlike kos?

Ek sal dus voorstel dat ’n mens slegs vir spesiale geleenthede moet gaan, maar dit is beslis die besoek werd.

Post & Pepper het ’n opwin- dende toekoms wat wag, gevul met wonderlike en fynproewerkos en baie tevrede kliënte. Ek kan nie wag om weer die kalmte van die klein restaurantjie op die hoek te beleef nie.

NBA2K23 ing through these challenges is extremely immersive and gives you a new perspective on the style of basketball played during the 80s and 90s periods.

The retro-style graphics contribute to the authentic experience. The pure gameplay is slightly altered with the shooting release bar having changed and given alternate options. The graphics are a pinch better and even closer to looking completely realistic.

The Myteam and Mycareer game modes have only been modified slightly with the new interface being the most notable. My main complaint about Myteam is the lack of offline game modes. Another complaint is the system surrounding the micro transactions for in-game currency. This problem is especially prevalent in the Mycareer game mode, where it is extremely difficult to improve your character without producing your wallet. Fortunately, in the Myteam game mode, you can improve your team without burning too much cash.

The most basic game mode is Playnow

It is the most refined, having been the original game mode for the first NBA2k game. It involves you choosing any current or ‘all-time’ team and playing against a bot or another person. Even with its simplicity, it can be the most fun.

Overall, NBA2K23 is an incredibly impressive basketball game. The visuals are stunning and the gameplay is smooth and immersive.

If you’re a fan of basketball or sports video games in general, then NBA2K23 is definitely worth checking out
