Halo: Nightfall Blu-Ray Disc Unboxing March 17, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Late last year, Microsoft wanted to release a live action feature that set up the backstory of a new character that is planned to appear in Halo 5: Guardians and it was called Halo: Nightfall. Produced by Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free, Halo: Nightfall was a five-part miniseries which was offered as an extra bonus feature for anyone who picked up a copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the Xbox One.
However, for some reason that completely escapes me, Microsoft chose not to include the series on Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s game disc, instead requiring viewers to stream it through the newly released Halo Channel. Now, while that application has a great selection of unique programming, because it is a streaming service it has completely failed to provide a consistent quality since November 2014. In the times I have tried to use it, I have had experiences where the feature would drop in quality without warning, or the Halo Channel would deny me access to watching the film for no reason at all. Also, the series’ episodic nature made it really easy to predict what would be happening in later episodes just by watching the “Next Time, On Halo: Nightfall” short at the end of each episode. It’s a really frustrating experience overall, made worse when up until today, there was no other alternative if you wanted to watch the film.
Halo: Nightfall has now been edited from a five part miniseries into a feature length film and was released today on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc. Now, we’re going to unbox the Blu-Ray version of Halo: Nightfall, a disc that should have been released with Halo: The Master Chief Collection in the first place, and see if it’s worth picking up.

Maniac does a new How To Video for PC Gamers. Your data is important and you want to be sure that you don’t lose it, even if your PC breaks or gets a virus.

How to Upgrade the PS4 Hard Drive March 6, 2015
Posted by Maniac in How To, Site Videos.add a comment
The Playstation 4 shipped with only a 500GB Hard Drive and let’s face it, a combination of required installations, DLC and a great selection of digital only releases will fill that drive up pretty quickly. Thankfully, Sony allows Playstation 4 owners to upgrade their hardware with new and improved Hard Drives, as long as they meet the Playstation 4’s specifications.
But how do you change the drive? Well, I would recommend checking out this website to read Sony’s official procedure on how to perform the upgrade. But words are really just words, you’re going to need to perform actions and sometimes reading instructions isn’t enough. That’s why you can find a detailed step-by-step How-To video which should help you through the process below.
You will need a recent version of the Playstation 4’s Software once you replace your drive. You can find and download that software right here.
Site Video Updates and a Special Request March 2, 2015
Posted by Maniac in How To, Site News, Site Videos.add a comment
Apologies for the lack of site videos recently, but there is a very good reason for it that I’ll get into later. It’s no secret that my How-To Videos are some of the most popular videos I’ve produced for this website, and recently we’ve been planning to make more of them, but we just haven’t had the opportunity to do any more until now. Maniac’s trusty Playstation 3 has started acting up on him, and instead of replacing it, he’s going to try to fix it by replacing its eight year old internal Hard Drive with something newer. The Playstation 3 has excellent tools for backing up and restoring user data, and if you plan to replace your PS3’s Hard Drive, you’re going to want to know how to use them.
But why stop at upgrading a PS3’s Hard Drive? Why not show how to replace a Playstation 4 Hard Drive as well? It can be done with easily obtainable equipment, and we’re going to show you how very soon.
