ConnectiCon 2012 – Voice Actors Press Event July 15, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.1 comment so far
Maniac and Princess Angel were present for a special press only Q&A at this year’s ConnectiCon. In it, we had the privilege of speaking with Amanda Winn Lee, Carlos Ferro, Danielle McRae, and Rachel Robinson.
It’s an absolutely hilarious experience you should watch.
Sadly, Carlos makes it clear in this video that Dom and Marcus will not be appearing in Gears of War: Judgement, however he did not completely rule out the possibility he will play Dom again, or that Dom and Marcus will appear again in future Gears of War games or DLC.

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.1 comment so far
The legendary Jim Cummings, who has voiced the characters of Winnie the Pooh, Darkwing Duck, and Splatterhouse’s Terror Mask (just to name a few), answers some questions about his highly successful career. He gives some great insight into his methods and tosses in some hilarious behind the scenes stories to boot.
Apologies for the low volume.
This is just the first of much more ConnectiCon 2012 coverage to come in the next few days!

More Final Fantasy Deals June 27, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
This week, Maniac talks about some new deals he found online and at retail, and asks for your help in identifying something interesting he found at retail today.
UPDATE: For the most part, the game in question is a normal copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector’s Edition, just with one addition. The extra hardcover book was included to bridge the story gap between the two Final Fantasy XIII games for the player. That version of Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector’s Edition was exclusive to Best Buy. Other stores were given free DLC codes.
How to Connect The Sony PSP to Your HDTV June 25, 2012
Posted by Maniac in How To, Site Videos.add a comment
The Sony PSP may be getting phased out as the Playstation Vita looks poised to take its place, but the handheld still has a lot of features, games and functionality going for it. In what will probably be the last How-To video we ever do for the Playstation Portable, Maniac shows exactly how to get your Sony PSP to display on your HDTV.
So get yourself a Sony PSP Component cable and check out the video. For the purposes of this video we’re going to have our PSP displaying in Progressive Scan (480p) on a 16×9 display, but if you don’t have that kind of TV, the procedure is pretty much the same, you’ll just need to either change a setting or buy a Composite Cable instead.
Please note that this is only possible with the PSP-2001, PSP-3001 and PSP Go.
How to Connect the Xbox 360 to your HDTV With HDMI June 21, 2012
Posted by Maniac in How To, Site Videos.add a comment
After I posted up a how to video which helped users properly connect the Xbox 360 to their HDTVs so they could get the best possible visual quality out of it, I started to get a lot of comments asking for help of a different nature. I mentioned in the earlier video that some users would have the option to use HDMI cable instead of the standard Xbox 360 AV cable and it would be preferable to use that instead. HDMI’s setup is much simpler and doesn’t require tinkering with the Xbox 360’s resolution settings unless you wanted to.
So here is the proper procedure for connecting your HDMI-equipped Xbox 360 to your HDMI-equipped HDTV, and if you have one, HDMI equipped surround sound receiver. All that is required for this is some HDCP compliant HDMI 1.3 cable, which isn’t usually included with the Xbox 360’s package.
