The Lone Gunmen ConnectiCon 2015 Press Event July 13, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Got a special video for fans of The X-Files, the three Lone Gunmen appeared at ConnectiCon 2015. In this hiliarious panel not open to the majority of the attendees the three actors reminisce about their work and what they really think about government conspiracies. If you wanted to know if The Lone Gunmen will be returning for the resurrected X-Files series, you really want to give this video a watch.
I know what you’re probably thinking, why are live-action actors from the X-Files being showcased on a gaming website? Well, they just happened to be featured in two X-Files video games, one of which holds a very special place in my heart.

The lovely voice actress Kari Wahlgren attended a special press panel at ConnectiCon 2015 that most of the attendees were unable to see. In the panel, she discussed her incredible body of work across all media formats including video games, anime and television. If you wanted to find out what kind of work you can be expected to do when you’re hired as a voice actor, give this a watch.

Continuing with our ongoing coverage of ConnectiCon 2015, we are presenting you another exclusive panel that many of the show’s attendees were not able to see. In this private Q&A event, voice actor and MADtv star Phil LaMarr is joined by voice actress and star of the TV Show Buffy the Vampire Slayer Amber Benson for a very personal Q&A session during ConnectiCon 2015 that was not open to the public.
WARNING: This could be interpreted as a controversial panel due to the fact one of the attendees asked the guests some pretty heavy questions, so be aware of that before viewing.
More ConnectiCon 2015 videos are on the way! Stay tuned!

Today marks the beginning of our ongoing coverage of ConnectiCon 2015. The event was an epic time, which featured incredible panels, amazing guests, and the most devoted fans I have ever seen.
To start our coverage on the site, we’ve got video of an exclusive event not many of the event’s attendees were able to witness. You may remember Rachel Robinson as the voice of Fang in the Final Fantasy XIII franchise, but she has also contributed voice work in numerous animated features that would take far too long to list off here. She is joined by Christopher Bevins, a fellow voice actor who also has an incredible list of work including Soul Eater, Dragonball Z and Street Fighter IV.
More ConnectiCon 2015 videos will be coming throughout the week! Stay tuned!
Rest in Peace, Satoru Iwata July 13, 2015

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, died suddenly this past weekend.
Mr. Iwata had been involved with Nintendo’s game development for years before he would be named its President. He fondly admitted contributing to games like the NES classic Balloon Fight, a game which would become one of the first native Virtual Console games released on the Wii U. He also assisted with the development of the SNES cult classic Earthbound (Mother 2), a game so beloved that independent documentaries have been produced detailing the impact this game has had on its fans.
I first became familiar with Mr. Iwata from his regular appearances in his company’s Nintendo Direct videos. It was always nice to see him introduce the videos which would outline to fans all the great games that Nintendo was producing for their platforms.
Nintendo of America has announced that due to Mr. Iwata’s passing, they will not be producing any new updates on their social media accounts for the rest of the day out of respect.
Rest in Peace, good sir.
Halo: The Fall of Reach SDCC 2015 Teaser July 12, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
The very first piece of expanded universe content released to coincide with the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved and the original Xbox was a novel titled Halo: The Fall of Reach.
The book told the backstory of Master Chief Petty Officer JOHN-117, better known to fans of the Halo franchise as the Master Chief, the hero of Halo. It starts with the creation of the SPARTAN-II program and details the events leading up to the first Halo game.
This weekend, 343 Industries announced that they are going to re-release this epic story as an animated feature. If you haven’t read this amazing story you should certainly give this animated feature a look, as many of the book’s characters will be making their first game appearances in the next Halo game.
Take a look at the first official trailer below. Its release is timed to coincide with the launch of Halo 5: Guardians this October.
Halo: The Fall of Reach is being released exclusively through the Halo Channel to anyone who purchases the Limited Edition or Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 5: Guardians. Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 2015 exclusively to the Xbox One.

Earlier this week, 343 Industries produced a new behind the scenes documentary for Halo 5: Guardians to coincide with the San Diego Comic Con.
The ViDoc, called A Hero Reborn, was released exclusively on the Halo Channel app, but (for those who don’t have access to the app) you can check out a brief teaser for the documentary below.
It’s nice to see some behind the scenes information about the game’s single player campaign getting released. The other documentary series 343 Industries has been working on, called The Sprint, focused strictly on multiplayer development.
The Halo Channel app is currently available free of charge on Xbox One, Android, and iOS platforms. It can also be downloaded for free on Windows 8 PCs through the Windows 8 digital app store. It will be released on Windows Phones after the release of Windows Phone 10.
Halo Channel Released on iOS Devices July 8, 2015

To celebrate the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on the Xbox One last year, Microsoft released an important companion app for Halo fans, the Halo Channel, on the Xbox One and Windows 8 marketplace.
The Halo Channel was created to keep Halo fans up to date with the latest information from 343 Industries and provide a platform for the Halo community to showcase their films.
Starting today, you can download the Halo Channel on your iOS device. Once downloaded, you can simply sign in to your Xbox Live account and watch any of the content available through the service. The app’s performance is pretty good on an iPhone, heck it’s faster than it runs on the Xbox One.
You can download Halo Channel free of charge through the App Store.
