Japan Travel Tips – Vending Machines October 19, 2021
Posted by Maniac in Japan Travel Tips, Uncategorized.add a comment
Welcome back to Japan Travel Tips, where we highlight some of the best independently produced videos about the beautiful country of Japan. We’ve touched upon Vending Machines in one of our earliest articles, but I felt we barely skimmed the surface of just how cool and unique Japan’s vending machines are. So sit back and relax because we have found so many great videos about vending machines that we had to devote an entire article to all of them.
First off, I want to re-highlight a video we featured in the previously mentioned article. Produced by the reference-quality channel Only In Japan, this is a great video to provide an introduction to Japan’s vending machines, how they work, and just what makes them so great and unique. Check it out.
Next, I would be remiss to neglect the legendary YouTuber Safiya Nygaard, who spent some time in 2019 traveling through the country. Here’s a video of her trying to find some of the country’s most famous vending machines and giving her thoughts about them.
I know what you’re thinking, “That sounds kinda cool, but just what can these machines do that machines in other countries don’t?” Glad you asked. The YouTube channel DancingBacons does a great no commentary video series where they highlighted some of Japan’s more unique vending machines. Did you know you can order a frozen Coke or Sprite right out of one of a vending machine? Watch and see for yourself.
And to follow up, here’s their look at a pizza vending machine.
Finally I want to highlight the spot that is probably the most famous row of vending machines in the entire world and highlight the original YouTube video that put it on the map. YouTuber Ericsurf6 highlighted this row of vending machines for his series Eric Meal Time. The food options of these machines have to be seen to be believed.
This video was so popular when it was posted it was actually highlighted on a Japanese late night tv show. Apparently I’m not the only person who thinks this is really cool. Here’s the clip.
Hope you enjoyed this week’s look at Japan Travel Tips. Did you like this expanded article on a dedicated subject? Post a comment below with your thoughts. I’ve gone through my archives and looked up several videos that I think could be part of further expanded articles. I don’t know if there will be a new article next week, but stay tuned because Japan Travel Tips will return!

Nintendo Announces Nintendo Network Expansion Price October 15, 2021
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Earlier this month, Nintendo announced they would be offering an expansion tier to their Nintendo Network online service for the Switch. In this expansion, Nintendo says they’ll be offering the chance to play preselected N64 and Sega Genesis titles. Today, we now know what the cost of the expansion will be. The total price to access the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games…is $49US a year. A whopping $30 increase over the current plan. Here’s the announcement video.
I’m sorry but that’s just too high a price for me. Especially since Nintendo won’t be offering very many N64 and Genesis games at launch. Maybe if they offered EVERY game ever made on both platforms, the $50 a year price would be justified.
Hoonigan Builds a Real-Life Warthog October 14, 2021
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Halo’s M12-LRV, otherwise known as the Warthog, is one of the most iconic vehicles in the history of media. From the first minute you got behind the wheel, gaming was changed forever. It’s a four wheel drive Jeep with a 50 caliber chaingun in the backseat. At the time of its release, driving in a shooter video game was almost unheard of, and it set the standard for all future console games. The controls were absolutely flawless. And let’s be honest, it is so cool.
Officially, three Warthogs have been built in real life. The first was made by WETA for the Halo feature film that never happened. It later appeared in Halo: Landfall and Halo 4: Forward Onto Dawn. As far as I know that one is currently at WETA in New Zealand. The second was a 3D printed custom vehicle made to promote Halo 4. That is currently at the Patterson in Hollywood. The third was made by Hershund for Halo: Outpost Discovery. It’s whereabouts are currently unknown.
Now, we have a fourth. Hoonigan has been building a Warthog capable of hitting 1,000 horsepower to celebrate the release of Halo: Infinite. To celebrate the build, they’ve produced this ten-part documentary about its creation, and the final part was posted earlier today. Give it a watch!
I think it looks more like a Puma.
Halo: Infinite is coming December 8th, 2021 for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
