Doritos is Turning up the Heat at Comic Con Africa #ComicConAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Doritos is back and it’s bigger, louder, and crunchier than ever. In 2025, Comic Con Africa says goodbye to the Crunch Zone and welcomes the bigger and bolder Doritos Crunch Arena. It’s a space packed with non-stop action, non-stop flavour, and more ways to play, win, and experience the crunch than ever before.

TEKKEN 8 Tournament

The Doritos TEKKEN 8 Tournament is where gaming warriors are made. Con-goers will go head-to-head in high-energy battles as their favourite Tekken characters, and there will be two tournaments every day of the con. With real-time scorekeeping flashing across a massive leaderboard in the heart of the Arena, the heat is always on! For gamers who think they have what it takes to climb to the top, they should be warned: the leaderboard changes in a flash and this moment’s champ could be the next moment’s toast. It’s bold, it’s brag-worthy, and it’s your shot to stand a chance to win your share of R10 000 daily. Bring your game face (and don’t forget an extra bag of confidence).

Retro Arcade Zone

Old school is the new cool in the Retro Arcade Zone. Bring the old days back with some classic arcade fun with button-mashing, joystick-slamming goodness. It’s a pixel-powered blast from the past that’ll have you shouting, “just one more round!” Whether you want to relive your youth or if you’re just now discovering the roots of gaming, this zone is full of nostalgia with a Doritos twist.

Free-to-Play Titles

For the casual gamers, don’t worry, because Doritos has got you covered, too. Fans can jam their favourite titles in the free-to-play zone: a line-up of today’s hottest games, including EAFC25, COD Modern Warfare III, Streetfighter and Fornite, making it the perfect space to game with your squad. Whether you’re in it for fun or trying to settle a long-standing rivalry with your bestie, this is your chance to prove who’s boss.

Win a PS5

Ready for the ultimate side quest? Doritos will be giving away a PS5 daily. Scan the QR codes scattered around the show and in the Crunch Arena and be at the Arena every day at 3pm for the live randomised draw - you could be leaving the Con with a console in hand!

Beyond the Games: the Reloaded Truck is Back

All that joystick action is going to leave you hungry, and Doritos has you covered! Head on over to the Doritos Loaded Truck, where you can expect a variety of unique ways to enjoy Doritos through a specialised menu. Try out Doritos as the base for both sweet and savoury snacks to share with your squad, or enjoy a portion all to yourself! Have you imagined Doritos as a cheesecake, or loaded with saucy pulled beef? Yes, please!

Says Ather Baghpatee, Doritos Marketing Director of Snacks, “Doritos believes in ‘Expressing your bold side’ and in line with our brand positioning, we are proud to partner with Comic Con Africa. With this collaboration, our aim is to create a bold, inclusive and accessible gaming environment for South Africa’s youth. We look forward to continuing our journey supporting youth passion points and providing platforms to fuel BOLD self-expression for South Africans.”

For Everyone!

Whether you’re there to compete, chill, or just snack between the con vibes, the Doritos Crunch Arena is where it’s all going down. Get ready to feel the crunch. It’s coming to your happy place, Comic Con Africa, from 28 to 31 August at the Joburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.

New Year Resolutions - Week 08 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 8 has been an entertainment powerhouse week as I watched a lot of movies and attended a lot of events. More than that this was a week where I got my single monthly cheque from my employer that keeps me going or paying my bills. Yes, I can't be rich if I only rely on this one payment in terms of 8-10 of work every day. Over the years now after Covid-19 I have observed that your life is limited and then you have to work for money or skills upliftment so that you can encash it. Tech space is changing fast so you also have to be a quick brown fox so that you can jump over the lazy dog. 

Increase your salary as high as possible and take risks - Don't get settled. 

1. Entertainment - I started the week by watching Cirkus movie starring Ranveer Singh and Varun Sharma. I loved the light-hearted comedy despite it being not a hit at the box office. I also watched Shiv Shasti Balboa starring Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta and totally loved the same though most of the dialogues and scenes Anupam sir also told on the Kapil Sharma show which led to nothing left to watch in the movie. Revealing a lot of details about the movie during the promotional tours is not a great strategy. I then moved to a 3 episode series from TVF - SK Sir ki Class which is a spin-off of the TVF Aspirants series that I wanted it to continue but this one has not reached the level Aspirants is and that's why they finished the same in 3 episodes only. I also completed the Hindi movie LOST starring Yami Gautam Dhar and it took me a lot of days to finish this tiresome movie. 

2. Launch Events - I attended the opening ceremony of the Fujifilm South Africa office in the Sandton area. The view from this space is really awesome overlooking Hurlingham and Randburg. Then I also attended the Doritos Event where they launched the new chilli versions of Nik Naks, Doritos and Simba chips. It was a fun outing and we got packets of each too to try at home. I also attended a housewarming party of a friend who bought a big villa and did some prayers along with a party thereafter. 

3. Thank You - I didn't do this at all this week on the counter. Totally failed in this grand scheme of things. 

4. Daily Prayers - I am not sure if I am regular in this activity as well since the completion of 42 years of Hanuman Chalisa. Complete failure in this regard also, a daily power source is needed to light up your life and give you the confidence to carry on despite all the internal struggles. 

5. Goodies - What I have observed this year the goodies that are being given at the end of launch events are a total disaster. The time spent at the event without the vegetarian food to enjoy, the gift is not worth your time at all. The coverage that you need to give on your blog and social media platforms is more extra work for that pack of chips or concert tickets. I be rather stay at home and save on petrol and time which I can enjoy with my family or read a book on my Kindle. 

You may have observed that I have posted the failures or talked about them in my posts but it's best to take them out of the system. If I have failed, I have failed. I have to accept that failures and wins are part of life and we can't stay settled thinking that we have won but the point where you are in life, everyone else has left that point long back and you are now lagging behind everyone else. 

Till next time...Aashish 

Thanks! Cheers!!!
