A lot of people refuse to admit this but Mickey Mouse has a history of being the ultimate fighter. He has kept himself safe in the darkness for longer than anyone could have imagined. He has fought to protect the innocent and those closest to him. He is the ultimate warrior. Happy birthday, Mickey.

Kingdom Hearts III is coming Jan 2019 to Xbox One and PS4.

ConnectiCon 2018 Videos Part 1 July 17, 2018

Maniac and Princess Angel were honored to attend ConnectiCon 2018 this past weekend at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT. While not all of the video and photos we took at the event have been uploaded, we were able to get some of the content we produced at the show online. Let’s take a closer look at some of it, shall we?

First off, we need to share with you a closer look at the convention space itself. If you’d like to see how big this year’s convention was, we brought a T-Rex with us to walk the floor and take some pictures with guests. Enjoy.

Next up, we’re going to show you an example of what it’s like to attend a celebrity panel. The legendary Jon St John, best known as the voice of Duke Nukem in Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem Forever, was at the 2018 ConnectiCon and attended several panels and even free autograph signings. Here’s a snippet from a special private panel where he talks about how he got the role of Duke Nukem and what it’s meant for his career.

Art The Hypnotist is another long standing ConnectiCon celebrity guest. He is known for his ability to mesmerize a crowd to make them do his bidding, all for our entertainment. In this clip, we see him get a crowd of previously hypnotized people to perform a song and dance number of Gotta Catch Em All, the theme to the Pokémon television series.

Finally, we got something really special for you all. If you’re going to attend a ConnectiCon, either now or in the future the one special event you MUST attend is the DeathMatch on Saturday. Hosted by Mookie, the DeathMatch is a mix of role-play and audience participation. In it, costumed characters are pitted against each other two by two. While they cannot speak, each must look for the approval of the massive crowd. The winner (based on audience applause), defeats their opponent and moves on to the next round. The loser gets taken by the zombies.

How big is the event? Here’s some footage of its opening, and the lineup of participants in this year’s event. Take a look!

Congratulations to the 2018 DeathMatch winner, Jackie Chan.

We are still going through a lot of the raw videos and photographs we took of the event, so you’ll have to bear with us and wait patiently for more of our content from the event. Tickets for ConnectiCon 2019 are now on sale.

Pokemon Go Bonuses Live Until July 23 July 16, 2018

Pokémon Go Fest 2018 has wrapped and rewards from the event are live in Pokémon Go until July 23rd. Trainers will find Pokémon Eggs will hatch in half the distance it usually takes (provided incubation starts during the promotion), and double candy is being awarded for caught and hatched Pokémon. Also, a special Summer variant Pikachu is out in the wild and should turn up in higher frequency all over the place. Trainers playing Pokémon Go will not need to do anything special to make use of these rewards.

Now’s the perfect time to get back to hatching your eggs. If you’re like me, you’ve probably changed the batteries on your Pokémon Go Plus.

Pokémon Go is out now for Android and iOS SmartPhones/Tablets.

Do I really need to post anything else here? You’ve got Nathan Fillion, the star of Firefly and Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, playing Nathan Drake in an Uncharted fanfilm. Give yourself a fifteen minute break and watch it now!

After years of false starts, incorrect assumptions, and poorly hired directors, I can say that finally, there’s someone in Hollywood that actually “gets” Uncharted.

Welcome back to Maniac’s Kitchen, where we share recipes and reviews of food made for gamers. 2018 feels like one of the hottest Summers in history and what better way to cool off than with the perfect summer drink, Lemonade. However, this is a gaming website so we’re going to put our own spin on the drink. That means it will have lots (and lots) of sugar!

Thanks for joining us! Next time in Maniac’s Kitchen we’ll be sharing our special Guacamole recipe. If you had ideas for future recipes or foods we should try, leave a message below!

Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire 2018 Review Part 1 July 10, 2018

The Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire 2018 just wrapped up this past Sunday. It has been held at the Warsaw Park in Ansonia, CT for several years now and we have been attending them for quite a while. Unlike other Renaissance Faires that pride themselves on historical accuracy, the MFRF draws its inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, and even Pokémon.

We have previously reviewed MFRFs from 2015 and 2016. Upon popular request, we’re going to review this year’s event! Buckle in, because we’re going to be taking about almost every aspect of this year’s faire. That includes the event’s story, the acts, the food and the vendors! Enjoy!

Stay tuned for Part 2 where we talk about last Saturday night’s epic Fireworks Finale!
