Let’s Play Control On PS4 Part 1 October 29, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Let's Play, Site Videos.add a comment
Maniac has been a fan of Remedy Games since the original Max Payne was released on the PC. Now, we have the pleasure to play their newest game, Control, on the PS4. Here’s the first two and a half hours of the game!
We’ll be playing blind but we have tons of experience with other third-person games so we are not going in without any controller experience. All gameplay is provided with picture-in-picture video commentary.
If you’re interested in seeing more of the game we will be streaming more of it tomorrow on our Twitch channel!
Control is out now for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Ring Fit Adventure Unboxing October 28, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Ring Fit Adventure is an interesting concept for a game. Part RPG, part exercise equipment. Due to its included peripherals, it has a $20 increased price over other new Nintendo Switch games. Due to that price premium we thought it would be a good idea to show what was included in the game’s box.
Ring Fit Adventure is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

Shortly after announcing their intention to re-release countless classic 8-Bit NES games as part of their premium Nintendo Network service, Nintendo offered their subscribers the chance to buy exclusive wireless NES controllers to play those games on. Well, ours arrived.
We’ve played these NES games on their original platform what do you say we crack these things open and give our initial thoughts about them?
You must have an active paid Nintendo Network online account to be eligible to purchase these controllers. They are only compatible with the Nintendo Switch’s NES game launcher.

Sit back and relax because Maniac is going to do something different for today’s episode of Maniac’s Kitchen. He’s going to tell a story of the first time he had Japanese food and what a unique experience it was. We didn’t have sushi. We didn’t have hibachi. This…was something else.
Please post a comment below if you know the name of what kind of dining experience this was or what you thought of this video!
Maniac’s Kitchen – Rockstar Energy Drink Gears 5 Promotion Taste Test September 29, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Maniac’s Kitchen, Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
Earlier this month, we reported that Rockstar Energy Drink was partnering with Microsoft to offer free codes for exclusive Gears 5 downloadable content (DLC) to players who purchase specially marked cans of the beverage. However, in the time since we wrote that bit of news it has been next to impossible for us to find those marked cans of the beverage in any of our local shops or retail stores.
Eventually, we were able to find ONE flavor of Rockstar Energy Drink that had the Gears 5 marking in our area, this one is called the Pure Zero flavor (due to the fact it advertises it has 0 calories). We never tried REG before, so we decided to give it a taste test on camera to see how well it stacks up against other beverages.
Gears 5 is out now for Xbox One and PC.
Maniac’s Kitchen – Cold Stone’s Super Mario Cake September 17, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Maniac’s Kitchen, Site Videos.add a comment
Welcome back to Maniac’s Kitchen where we share recipes and review all kinds of gaming food. It’s not my birthday but I couldn’t resist checking out Cold Stone Creamery, the ice cream shop known for mixing a whole assortment of toppings into their creamy ice cream.
In conjunction with Nintendo to promote the recent release of Super Mario Maker 2, Cold Stone has released two limited-time menu options. Today, we’re going to review the Rainbow Sprinkle Road Cake, which is clearly inspired by Nintendo’s Mario Kart franchise. Let’s see how it tastes!
Cold Stone says they will personalize your cake with any name you wish when you order it. We chose to get the smallest version of the cake since nobody but me seemed interested in eating it. If you need a bigger cake for a large party, larger round cakes can be made.
Tales from IT – These Tales Won’t Get You a Job September 12, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos, Tales from IT.add a comment
For some time now I’ve been concerned that people could watch my Tales from IT videos, memorize them and try to relay the stories as their own personal anecdotes with the intention to get themselves positions in the IT field they would otherwise be unqualified for. Well, I’m happy (or sad) to say that probably isn’t much of a concern as I thought it would be.
So here’s a story about one time I told one of these stories to a major job employer. I wasn’t qualified for the job, I had no experience in the position, but I had to apply for it because my technically-illiterate family read about it in the newspaper and wouldn’t cease harassing me about it.
I hope you all enjoyed the Tales from IT series because that will be the final video we will post in that series. More content (including TGS 2019 news) is on its way!

Halo Outpost Discovery Part 4 – Halo Week 2019 July 28, 2019
Posted by Maniac in Halo Week 2019, Site Videos.add a comment
Mel Brooks once said, “Merchandise, merchandise, merchandise. That’s where the real money is made!” I think he learned that from George Lucas. As Halo Week 2019 comes to a close we dedicate the last part of our video series about the Philadelphia Halo: Outpost Discovery show to the merchandise booth. We’re going to talk about what was for sale at the show, show off everything we picked up while there, and mention a few things that weren’t for sale that we thought should have been.
Before we wrap up or coverage from Outpost Discovery completely, there’s one lingering question from the show floor we haven’t been able to answer. Take a look at this.
If you happen to work for Outpost Discovery can you post a comment below with the answer?
Hope you all enjoyed Halo Week 2019. With Halo: Infinite, a possible Outpost Discovery return, and a new Xbox console announced for next year I only have one remaining question, “Should we bring Halo Week back for 2020?”
