FAIL: Why Terminator 3 Has a Broken Ending June 29, 2015
Posted by Maniac in FAIL, Site Videos.add a comment
Apologies for this particular item not being about a gaming related topic but darn it there have been a whole bunch of Terminator games made in the past twenty years, so I figured this is close enough.
I was a huge fan of the Terminator movies up until the release of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was released in the early 2000s. Then I saw that horrible film and thought it was so badly written that I haven’t seen a new Terminator movie since. But then I discovered Terminator 3‘s ending is not only bad, but it’s fundamentally broken with a plot hole big enough to drive a semi truck through.
So what is wrong with this ending? Let’s watch the video and find out.
The Sprint Season 2 Now Online June 24, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
A documentary series showcasing the ongoing development of the upcoming Xbox One exclusive game Halo 5: Guardians has just released its second season online.
The first season of The Sprint focused on the difficult process to get the game ready for game’s multiplayer beta test. This season focuses the road to E3 2015, and all the difficulties in getting the game ready for the world’s biggest trade show. That not only includes showing the difficult process of game development, but also the amazing work that goes into the game’s digital actor performance. That alone makes this series worth watching.
While you can watch the entire series on your PC or Xbox One console using the Halo Channel app, 343 Industries and Microsoft were good enough to release the entire season online for all to see. Enjoy.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming October, 2015 exclusively to the Xbox One.

Halo 5 Warzone E3 2015 Hololens Experience June 19, 2015

The guys over at Microsoft and 343 Industries paired up to do something pretty special at this year’s E3. Before players would get the chance to preview Halo 5‘s Warzone gameplay, they would get the chance to walk a set they enhanced with the Microsoft Hololens. Take a look and see for yourself what these things can do.
Talk about immersive. I have no idea how they could use this technology outside of the E3 event, but it sure works well for projecting 3D objects in real space.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 2015 exclusively to the Xbox One.
