I know I had promised to do this on the Twitter feed some time ago, but only now have I finally had the chance to do it.  Here is the first post-E3 discussion.  For the first E3 video, I talk to diskreader117 about the Sony NGP, now known as the Playstation Vita.

At E3, I got to demo it and five games.  Is it worth the purchase?  Watch the video and find out.

More E3 wrap up videos are coming in the next few days.  I saw a LOT, and there’s so much to tell.

Splatterhouse Terror Mask Unboxing July 12, 2011

GameStop sent Maniac a gift for all the bad stuff he’s said about them.  Actually he got it by cashing in GameStop Rewards points he earned from buying so many Collector’s Editions of games this year.  This is availble for redemption on the site, and it looked to be the nicest thing offered for the point value, so it was ordered.

Maniac unboxes the Splatterhouse mask stand made as a promotional display for GameStops across the country.  Now it looks like GameStop is giving them away to Power Up Rewards members who have the points to redeem it.  They also offer a lot of other stuff on the site.  It arrived one week after ordering it and came packaged in what you see before you (they just slapped a shipping label on it).

This thing is a VERY high quality collector’s piece, take a look for yourselves!

Uncharted 3 Beta Gameplay July 7, 2011

I’ve been trying for almost a week to get this footage up, but it seems like now is the best time to do it.  diskreader117 and I play the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception multiplayer beta, which I had access to on launch, and got some footage of it to show off here for those of you who are interested.

There are going to be some perks to playing in the Uncharted 3 Beta.  Just downloading it you are promised a special avatar picture, for playing the levels over five times a piece will net you some special stickers, and there’s a reward for making it to rank 25.

The Uncharted 3 Beta is currently free to download right now and doesn’t require a Playstation Plus subscription (or a redeemable code).  If you have access to the Playstation Store right now, give it a download and enjoy it.

E3 Vlog Day 3 June 20, 2011

Hey guys, I have finally uploaded all the video I shot for day 3 of E3.  That day was made up of me getting a minute of the Wii U in action, getting to see the Playstation Vita, and meeting Randy Pitchford at the Aliens: Colonial Marines Demo.  It was a long wait, but it was totally worth it.

Thanks for watching through this series.  It was fantastic getting to go back to E3 after so many years of not going.  It was even better this year than the years past, and I’m so happy I got to go.  Next year promises to be even bigger and better, and I’ll keep you posted on that!

I continue my E3 coverage, showing what I did on Day 2 of E3.  I show off the E3 South Hall, showing the Microsoft, EA, and AMD booths.  I wait in line for Duke Nukem Forever, Gears of War 3, and check out the Into the Pixel Exhibit.

It came out while I was at E3, and because of that, it took me a while to get around to shooting and editing my unboxing of it, but here it is, the unboxing of the inFamous 2 Hero Edition, exclusive to the Playstation 3.

This game is BIG, perhaps a bit too big for me to unbox by myself.  But don’t worry, there’s a special guest star that helps me out!

What Was Cut From Duke Nukem Forever June 16, 2011

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos, What Was Cut.

I just finished playing through Duke Nukem Forever yesterday, and upon completing it thought there was a heck of a lot more there still was to play in the game.  The original leaked design documents detailed things ranging from Duke clone armies to a whole female lead were not in the final version of the game, nor were a lot of the other enviroments that would have followed the Hoover Dam section of the game, ranging from Area 51 to a battle aboard the Alien Fathership.

In this video, I detail everything I remembered from the design documents, and compare the final version of the game to the original design document.  I also show some concept art and screenshots included in the making of books to give you an idea of what would have come in the game.

This content could still be released as DLC, the first of which is coming free to First Access Club Members soon.

I have finished uploading the second and third part of an entire vlog series I’m working on about all my experiences at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.  We open on Tuesday, Day 1 of the show, and you can get a first person’s perspective on just what an individual goes through when they attend the show.  It was a lot of fun, but there’s a lot of waiting that goes into it, and here’s a glimpse of all that.

Day 2 and Day 3 are still coming soon.

Maniac unboxes the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition and shows some of the cool DNF swag he got at E3.  Forgive the Brad Jones voice, I wanted to sound extra snobby while I was taking a shot.
