Let’s Play Alan Wake’s American Nightmare February 24, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Let's Play, Site Videos.add a comment
Last week, Microsoft announced the upcoming release of Quantum Break, and said that anyone who preorders the game digitally or at a selected retailer will be entitled to a digital download of Remedy’s previous title, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is a follow up to the cult classic Alan Wake, a game I absolutely love. It was released digitally on the Xbox 360 and would later get ported to the PC. Now the game is playable on the Xbox One using Backwards Compatibility. Let’s take a look at how this game plays on Microsoft’s newest console with video commentary as we wait patiently for Quantum Break to be released!
We’re going to be playing through the whole game so just be aware there’s going to be spoilers!
Special thanks to Bawls for providing Maniac’s wardrobe!
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is out now on Xbox 360 and PC. It is free for anyone who preorders Quantum Break on the Xbox One.

For 24 hours this weekend, Nintendo hosted a Splatfest in the Wii U multiplayer game Splatoon to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise! Don’t worry if you were unable to participate in Splatfest personally, we have some video of the special event and you can check it out below.
The only question I have to ask you is do you prefer Pokémon Red or Pokémon Blue? Enjoy!
Thank you to Nintendo for having such a fun event, and to the Splatoon Miiverse community for making that event even better.
Splatoon is out now exclusively on Wii U.

After getting a case of soda from one of the greatest beverage makers on the planet, Maniac received a special care package from Bawls.
Bawls has a reputation for being the perfect gamer’s drink. It has a high caffeine content, but unlike other energy drinks, it actually takes great! It has been a staple of LAN Parties for over a decade and a half, and has appeared in games like Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Run Like Hell.
So, what’s in the box? Let’s find out!
A special thanks to Bawls for their support. Stay tuned to the site for more Bawls coverage!

One day after the announcement that Final Fantasy IX can now be downloaded on SmartPhones and Tablets everywhere, Maniac grabbed the last bottle of Bawls he had and decided to resume his Let’s Play of Final Fantasy VII.
When we last left our heroes, they were trying to evacuate Shinra Tower, let’s see if they can escape!
Final Fantasy VII is out now for PC, iOS, Android, PS1, PS4 and PS3.
Bawls Memories – Director’s Cut February 5, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Earlier this week, we produced a sponsored video on behalf of Bawls, where Maniac talked about his memories of the amazing beverage. However the video lacked any Bawls-related images as a reference, and it helps to have images when you’re discussing memories ranging over the past fifteen years.
So here is an enhanced Director’s Cut of our Bawls Memories video. To make rewatching it a bit more worthwhile, we increased the video’s native resolution to 1080p HD.
One last thing. While we were unable to add an end theme to the credits sequence due to copyright concerns, you are welcome to play whatever song you’d like during the last thirty seconds of the video. That all having been said, we would like to recommend the song “Home” by Breaking Benjamin for the end credits.

Let’s Play Final Fantasy VII With Video Commentary – Part 7 February 4, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Let's Play, Site Videos.add a comment
I know you guys couldn’t wait to rewatch today’s two-part stream of Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation 4. On today’s stream we pick up from the aftermath of an important character’s kidnapping, and begin our plans to rescue her.
We had a small issue with the first two minutes of the stream getting lost during its archive and export process, so please forgive the abrupt start! Enjoy!
Part 8 should be up tomorrow!
Final Fantasy VII is out now on PC, PS1, PS3, PS4, PSP, iOS and Android.
Fallout 4 Nuka Cola Bottle Opener Unboxing January 30, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Fallout 4 is on shelves and Maniac shares an impromptu unboxing he recorded of a GameStop Exclusive Collector’s Item, a Nuka Cola Bottle Opener.
Fallout fans will remember Nuka Cola is the preferred fictional beverage of the Fallout universe, and to promote the release of Fallout 4, Bethesda created some real bottle openers emblazoned with the fictional beverage’s iconic vending machine.
Sadly, we don’t have any bottles of Nuka Cola here, but we have plenty of bottles of Bawls, which long-standing Fallout fans might remember served as the official in-game beverage of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout 4 is out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Bawls Memories January 29, 2016

Continuing with our ongoing coverage of everything related to the amazingly caffeinated beverage Bawls, Maniac thinks back to his first memories of the beverage, and how it became such an integral part of his life.
Since Bawls were kind enough to send us a case of soda, this can be considered a sponsored video, however Maniac would like to stress he was planning to do this video anyway. Enjoy!
