Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta Behind the Scenes Preview November 11, 2014
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Last night, Microsoft gave Halo fans a very long look at Halo 5‘s upcoming multiplayer beta test during their Halofest 2014 broadcast last night.
A lot has been added to this game’s multiplayer and the developers at 343 Industries break down all the new features and balance tweaks they’re adding. For example, Sprint is back but your shields will no longer charge while sprinting.
There’s a lot more to see. If you want to take a look for yourselves at all the changes, as well as get an early look at some of the new maps, check out this video.
If you’re like me and you missed the Halofest broadcast last night (because you were out waiting in line for your copy of the game) the show is currently being rebroadcast in the Xbox Live Events Viewer app, which you can download on either the Xbox 360 or Xbox One.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming exclusively to the Xbox One. The multiplayer beta test is expected to start December 29, 2014 for owners of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Mountain Dew Game Fuel has returned for this gaming holiday season. First created in 2007 for the release of Halo 3 on the Xbox 360, Game Fuel is back this season to promote the release of the new Call of Duty Game.
For this episode, Maniac is joined by a special newcomer to the site, Gypsy Jenn. Neither have ever tasted Game Fuel before, so it will be interesting to see what they think of it.

It’s been ten years since the release of Halo 2 on the original Xbox, and while a lot has changed in his life since that day, Maniac still looks back on it very fondly.
To continue with our celebration of the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Monday night, Maniac created his own retrospective on Halo 2. He talks about his memories of the game’s E3 showings (which he personally attended), and what it was like standing in line at midnight for one of the first copies of the game. Enjoy.
Xbox One November Update Released November 8, 2014
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Just in time for Halo: The Master Chief Collection‘s launch on Monday night, Microsoft released a major update to the Xbox One dashboard. It is going to be the final Xbox One dashboard update of the year, Microsoft has confirmed there will not be a December update.
Here’s a video with all the new features. The new feature everyone is going to enjoy is likely going to be the support for background images and other interface customization options.
You are not required to download the update to use your Xbox One online, but take my advice and download it before the weekend is up before Microsoft decides to make it mandatory.

Microsoft announced their intention to host a new Halofest a few days ago, but their information about the event simply wasn’t clear enough for me to warrant posting about it on the site. Now, some new information about the event has hit the web, including the essential information about how all of you can check it out.
Halofest 2014 will start one hour before the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on the Xbox One on the East Coast. They will be showing the first episode of the Halo: Nightfall series and give a first look at the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta.
I plan to be taking part in midnight launch events at my local retailer. Hopefully I can get them into piping in the live feed from this event as the night happens.
Microsoft says the stream will begin November 10th, 2014 at 11PM EST. You will be able to watch it on your Xbox One or Xbox 360’s Live Events Viewer.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection TV Spot November 5, 2014

You’re in a stadium watching your favorite team. They’re behind by several points and everyone is worried. Then “We Will Rock You” starts to play and the crowd unifies in cheering. You should hear comedian Robert Whul talk about this song. There’s no other way to describe its effect on a crowd. Hearing it makes a crowd ready to follow anyone. Well, who are we going to follow? We’re going to follow Freddy Mercury. Then we’re going to follow the Master Chief.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming November 11, 2014 exclusively to the Xbox One.

Nintendo Direct 11/5/14 November 5, 2014

Nintendo Directs are a great way for Nintendo to provide a special connection between themselves and their customers. They’re great for product announcements, previews and more. Today, Nintendo has just released an all new one, detailing some of their plans for the next year. If you’ve been hoping for a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, you might want to play extra attention to the beginning of the video.
Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Iwata.
