I'm not big into Minecraft when when I got a code for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, I let my little brother do the review for me. 

Demon Face Playstation Controller

http://www.rpgfanatic.net/ Seriously, what the hell is this thing? I've been totally unable to figure out where it comes from. (UPDATE: WE FOUND IT!)

We have a thread going on my Facebook page, we might have figured it out!

The controller is apparently manufactured by Gemini, a subsidiary of Philips. The controller is part of the "Freaks" lineup of third party controllers released in 2004; my controller is the PS2 Berserker model. Freaks controllers were sculpted by Jeff Kokin, the renowned movie miniature and action figure artist. They are advertised as being "rare" on eBay but I'm uncertain of this.


Think you can help? Know anything more about it? Let me know in the comments below!

This is a new segment in The RPG Fanatic Show where I showcase some of the videogame related things I've come across and just can't figure out where it came from. This item is a devil or demon head controller with horns and burning red cat eyes. I assume it was bundled with a game or something, but I have no idea which game. The Googles tell me nothing!

How to upload game walkthroughs to RPG Fanatics Game Wiki Site

http://www.rpgfanatic.net/ We are causing a revolution with this project! Are you ready to be part of it? This video is going to explain why you should, along with the various things I see wrong with the world of video game journalism -- and by extension, journalism in general. I also talk about the problems of websites like Wikipedia, Giant Bomb and GameFAQs that attempt to catalog games but fail to do in a way that is truly useful to gamers who want more than just "quick info", they want reliable and accurate information about the games they love!

The RPG Fanatic Show has been my soapbox for these past few years, but now I'm opening the doors of my website to you! It's not just about me guys, it's about the community! This is a social network for fans of RPGs! Let's make this site a great success!

Note for those wondering why this text says "rpg games" so much, since it sounds redundant. If you use the Google Keyword tool to see trending topics, "rpg games" is actually the most trending keyword search involving the word "rpg". Youtube and Google Search has drastically changed their algorithms to favor trending keywords and brand new uploaded videos, and since I really want people to hear about my website and what we're trying to do for the gaming community, I'm using keywords that will best help this video get seen by people making searches for "rpg games". Thanks for being understanding.

In truth (and I'll talk about this in a future video) the recent changes to Youtube's algorithms are not ones I'm happy about. I think they really hurt the gaming community and I hope my website will make it easier for people to get their Youtube videos seen, especially those with monetized / Partner accounts. Unlike Giant Bomb and GameFAQs we do not discriminate against people who have monetized videos. Giant Bomb and GameFAQs will ban you if you try to use their website to promote your professionally made content, because they view your work as a threat. But here at RPGFanatic.net want believe you should get your high quality content seen, and we want to embrace the Youtube community and allow our site to be another avenue for you to get your videos seen.

In the coming weeks you'll learn more about the site, along with all the new features we are constantly implementing. Subscribe and you'll hear more! Thanks!

Seiken Densetsu 3 / Secret of Mana 2 Review

If you like this video you should also check out the Seiken Densetsu 3 wiki page - RPG Fanatics at my website.

https://www.facebook.com/OperationManafall

We also have a RPG Fanatic video site for your mobile phone!   

Seiken Densestu 3 at first glance seems to play very much the same as Secret of Mana. The game continues to use the Ring Menu introduced by Secret of Mana, and while there are still limits on how many healing items you can have with you in battle you are able to store additional items in a 'Storage' menu, though you are unable to use any item in Storage during a battle.

One very noticeable difference is that while Secret of Mana allows 3 players to control each character using the Multi-Tap accessory, Seiken Densetsu 3 does not support the Multi-Tap, and instead is merely a two player game.

That said, Seiken Densetsu 3 is notable for introducing several gameplay and narrative elements that have since become trademarks of the series. The first is the Calendar system, where the game has a concept of time and as you play or sleep at inns, the sun will rise and fall, which has a huge impact on gameplay. During the night, some enemies may be sleeping and certain enemies might only be available to fight during the day.

Each day of the week is associated with a particular Mana Spirit that boosts the elemental power of various spells and attacks associated with that spirit. Additionally, certain events only occur at specific times of day, like the Black Market in X being available only during the night hours, or the character Kevin transforming into a werewolf to boost his attack power.

Seiken Densetsu 3 is also the first game in the series to feature the character of The Mana Goddess whose life is tied to the existence of the Mana Tree, and it also introduced certain monsters like the dreaded Black Rabite.

As you can see in this footage, this is perhaps one of the most beautiful Super Famicom games out there. Graphically it is on the same level as Chrono Trigger and Terranigma, another great title that was never brought to North America. The game's pixel art is very faithful to the concept art created by manga artist Nobuteru Yūki, who is probably best known for his involvement with the anime series The Vision of Escaflowne, but has also been involved in other games like Chrono Cross and Tail Concerto. A lot of the NPC character designs from this title were brought over to future games in the series; notably, Legend of Mana.

The music was composed by Hiroki Kikuta, who had previously scored Seiken Densetsu 2-- known to us as Secret of Mana-- and a lot of the original pieces composed for this game have become staples to future releases. By the way, you've actually been listening to the music throughout this video.

The storyline and concept of the game was created by ‪Koichi Ishii‬, who in addition to being the creator of the Seiken Densetsu franchise was also heavily involved in the development of several SaGa and Final Fantasy titles; as discussed in one of my RPG(logy) videos, he is notable for having invented the Chocobo and Moogle mascots.

The game was directed and produced by longtime Square employee Hiromichi Tanaka -- so long, in fact, that he was one of the first employees of Square, having worked with Hironobu Sakaguchi on Square's first published game, Death Trap in 1984-- and he was involved in many of Square's famous titles, like Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3.

Most of the Final Fantasy titles have seen at least 3 or 4 different re-releases for multiple platforms, but the Mana series is kind of neglected and only the first two games in the series have seen any remakes. Which is sad, I think, because this is arguably one of the best multiplayer games that was developed for the Super Famicom / Super Nintendo platform, and more people should have a chance to play it.

My website has been completely re-designed to be a Web 2.0 gaming community. It is now a cross between GameFAQs and Wikipedia, focused on roleplaying videogames!

Dragon Age Origins, developed by BioWare in 2009, is the first game in the latest franchise from the high profile American game developer of computer roleplaying games. Though best known for the Baldur’s Gate and Knights of the Old Republic videogames they developed, Dragon Age is also among their most highly regarded titles. In this review The RPG Fanatic explores why.

So I was having lunch with O.G., head editor of Original-Gamer.com and we started talking about this upcoming MMORPG. I went on a long rant about why I wasn't looking forward to it and O.G convinced me to turn this into a video.

So here we go: why SW: TOR won't kill WoW!

In this vblog Carey Martell ( The RPG Fanatic ) talks about the recent announcement that Diablo 3 will require the player to have internet access in order to play even in solo mode and that the game will support players to sell in-game items for real life currency. A lot of people have expressed outrage over these revelations and he shares his opinion.

I attended San Japan again this year and scored two great interviews to add to my "Investigating Anime" series!

The first is with Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson, a famous flash animator who is also a fellow Youtube Partner.



The second is with Shinichi Watanabe, more popularly known by his pen-name "Nabeshin". Nabeshin is the director of such great anime as Excel Saga, The Wallflower and Nerima Daikon Brothers. I'm actually a big fan of his work, so it was a huge honor for me to be able to interview him.


Unfortunately I had limited file space on my cameras for conducting interviews this time around (my cursed laptop broke!) so I didn't interview all the guests, but there is always next year!

It's been about three months since this all started and while I've tried to explain some things on my blog, a lot of people still PM me misunderstanding. So here, one last video to explain what this has all been about and why it's important.

Roo's post where he acknowledged his rant was directed at me
http://www.clanofthegraywolf.com/16-bit-gems/22#comment-6390

My blog posts about the trolls (screenshot intensive)
http://cmartell.blogspot.com/search/label/trolls

What faggot really means and why it's offensive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-55wC5dEnc&feature=player_detailpage#t=298s

These guys just don't get it.

One of Asalieri's fanboys, Templar Gamer (who posts on Youtube as havocy91) recently went on a podcast over at Blistered Thumbs. In their enlightenment they decided to give him 20 minutes to rant about me (it's at the 50 minute mark).

Already some brand spankin' new trolling has started pouring into my Youtube inbox and channel comment box. Thanks Blistered Thumbs, I appreciate that you gave a cyber stalker the opportunity to organize more people to come harass me.

The following screenshots are from the Asalieri2's channel comment box, a somewhat well known internet troll associated with the website Busy Street. Hallmarks of Busy Street's trolling career include accusing TGWTG of making fraudulent charities.

I'm not alone in my opinion he's nobody to be taken seriously.

Havocy91, for whatever reason, decided he wanted to get in on the action and for the past three months has participated in an organized campaign of harassment against my channel, which I've written about before. Yes, it is still ongoing, primarily because I haven't been nearly as proactive as I perhaps should be in reporting them.

But that's about to change.

Anyway, the following screenshots prove without a doubt that Havocy91 made his videos about me as a result of the call to action Asalieri threw out. I mean, just look for yourself. Like the others, he has been outright obsessed with me and has been trying to get a response out of me since posting his videos.

Despite blocking him from Youtube, Facebook and Twitter, he just hasn't taken the hint. Finally giving him that response on the BT forums seemed to just fuel his ego.

Well, you want my attention? Fine, here is is.














By the way, if you were still wondering, Havocy91 is one of the fanboys who supported Asalieri's slanderous accusations against TGWTG about hanging someone upside down in a crucifix. The following few screenshots concern that topic.



The above screenshot shows him asking Asalieri for "evidence" so he can make an anti-TGWTG video.






Take a good strong look at the comment Havocy91 made in this one. This is why I've been reporting the videos; they are trying to make the top Google and Youtube results for my channel be their videos, not mine. They are using these video sites as a way to troll people.




















BTW- TGWTG and Blistered Thumbs ought to thank me for challenging these trolls, since as their accounts get terminated so do a large volume of anti-TGWTG and BT videos; in some cases, uploades of entire episodes stolen from your websites.

And even during my podcast "debate" with Asalieri I called him out on his lies concerning TGWTG.

Why you've decided to give a soapbox to one his lackies is quite perplexing to me, but whatever. Next time you think about giving someone 20 minutes to rant about me on the front page, do some research.

PS: It is pretty sad that I have to document their campaign in order to refute their accusations. Some people are way too trusting of the things strangers over the internet say.

About a year ago when I first started making my show, I was interviewed on The Retro League podcast.

I thought some people might find it interesting how relevant the interview now is to the recent events, especially with my goals for the show. This was also done prior to my Youtube Partnership and before I did the MMORPG reviews, which I said I intended to do.

Like many Youtube Partners do, I routinely check my Insight data to see where the traffic to my videos comes from, as I'm curious where my videos are getting seen at. Sometimes this results me in discovering new websites of interest.

Vladimir Sanchez's blog (posting as Vladmirsan) is one such example.

http://vladimirsan.com/

Of particular interest to me are the posts he's made about his computer RPG project.

http://vladimirsan.com/category/rpg-system/

There are a variety of different methods that game designers use to design their games and Mr. Sanchez is showing off how he is doing it. His musings and thoughts during the design are interesting, especially since he is trying to recreate a very familiar game...

I encourage others to check out his blog and give him encouragement. Making a computer RPG is no small task-- they are one of the most complex types of games to create-- and anyone who blogs about his design process deserves support!
