In this unscripted video, Maniac talks about his favorite feature of the Nintendo 3DS, StreetPass.  StreetPass is an integrated 3DS-exclusive feature which is built into every version of the Nintendo handheld.  It allows you to pick up the Miis of other 3DS owners and use them in some exclusive games.

The GameXcess.net Podcast returns!  This week, we’re going to talk about two games made by the same brothers who created the classic Wing Commander series, Starlancer and Freelancer.  These games were two flight simulator games for the PC which shared a common lore but could not be more different.  While they both borrowed heavily from games like Wing Commander and Privateer, I felt they brought something new to a once-great genre that had stagnated.

Ten years after Freelancer’s release, Maniac talks about the Lancer series from Digital Anvil and Microsoft.

Maniac’s Mii is lonely.  He very rarely comes across other 3DS owners when he takes his 3DS XL out, and because of that, hasn’t had much progress in StreetPass games like Find Mii 2 or Puzzle Swap.  But lets take a walk down the halls of ConnectiCon 2013 and see if that dry streak turns around.

The irrepressible Jon St. John, best known as the voice of Duke Nukem, pulls no punches in this no holds barred Q&A hosted for press only at ConnectiCon 2013.  In it, he talks about what he thought of the game Duke Nukem Forever and its critics, and spoke candidly about his work as a voice actor.  Maniac and Princess Angel were fortunate enough to sit in on this exclusive event.  Due to technical issues, we had to cut the video into two parts, but we are providing both of them right here for your enjoyment!

Don’t forget, you can view Princess Angel’s photos of this Q&A as well as the rest of ConnectiCon 2013 on Tumblr!
