Twitch Reviews Final Fantasy Games August 18, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
When Maniac asks questions about classic Role Playing Games, he goes to Twitch. Twitch has been playing RPGs since the days of the Super Nintendo, and all through the lifespan of the Playstation generation.
Before our discussion tonight about some recent RPG releases, Maniac wanted to get Twitch’s quick opinion on a wide range of Square-Enix games. He has played the majority of the games presented to him, with the exception of the more recent releases. As he takes a tongue-in-cheek step down memory lane, he gives his thoughts on some of the Final Fantasy games.
More videos will be coming next week!

The 3rd Birthday Unboxing August 16, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Doing a bit of a blast from the past today and doing an unboxing of a game that launched last year for the Sony PSP. The 3rd Birthday is a PSP exclusive game which is a psudo-sequel to the Parasite Eve series for the original Playstation. The game has met with mixed reviews, but I decided to hold off judgement on it until I played the game for myself.
With all the game developers that are cutting corners over the past year by releasing games without manuals or in stripped down packages, imagine my suprise when I opened up this game.
If you’re interested in seeing the Happy Video Game Nerd’s review of the Parasite Eve series, you can check it out here.
The 3rd Birthday is out exclusive to the Sony PSP.

This month marks the 26th anniversary of the release of Metroid in Japan, and boy what a ride has it been. What a better time for Maniac to do a podcast about Metroid by Nintendo. Give it a listen and hear him talk about the series, its history, what his experiences were playing it, and where he thinks the platform is going.
Happy Birthday, Samus.

How To Install Apple TV August 1, 2012
Posted by Maniac in How To, Site Videos.1 comment so far
Maniac got his hands on the brand new Apple TV and shows you how to set it up with your system. The device has video output for HDMI only, so you will need a HDMI equipped HDTV with support of 720p or 1080p resolution to use it.
If you use a legacy surround sound audio receiver, an optical connection is also included, but the audio works fine through HDMI when connected to either a receiver or HDTV.
The device also has a built-in wireless adapter and a wired ethernet port. You’re going to need it connected to SOME kind of local network, as you cannot stream from devices such as your Mac or iOS Device without one.
