Pokemon Rumble U NFC Figure Unboxing September 11, 2013
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Nintendo released a slew of NFC equipped figurines to work with the new downloadable Wii U game, Pokémon Rumble U. The NFC figure interacts with the reader built into the Wii U controller, which can read and write data to the figure as you use it in-game. The figures are sold only at GameStop and cost around $3.99 US.
The downside of the NFC figures are that every container is random and unless you’re buying a figure secondhand from someone who knows what they already have, you’re going to be buying a random figure every time you buy one at GameStop, and there’s a chance you could buy multiple figures of the same type.
In this unboxing, lets see what Maniac caught.

Starlancer and Freelancer Podcast July 28, 2013
Posted by Maniac in Podcasts, Site Videos.add a comment
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.
