That guy's a Maniac...

Hey kids you may have seen our new feature (right) the shout box. Feel free to use it but try not to impersonate me or Richie and leave derogatory comments. In other news LET'S ALL GO FUCKING MENTAL FOR THE END OF APRIL/MAY That's right kids. It's almost gaming like we used to know and love. The gaming gods are smiling upon us Something Old-4 th May: Something New-27 th of April: Something Borrowed-25 th May: Something Blue Nothing really. It falls apart a bit here.

So in Cunzy’s previous post he laid down a challenge: "Richie is writing an epic Twisted Metal , Final Fantasy VIII kidz, Naruto, Speed Freaks, Star Wars Phantom Menace fanfic set in the World of Warcraft." Enjoy: Sweet tooth was driving in his usual dilapidated ice-cream van though Goldshire, when he noticed a bunch of kids fending off some Lvl 70 Horde Gankers. Now Sweet tooth being the nice psychotic freak that he is, decided he was going to help these kids as he didn’t like gankers, especially ones that pick on the poor little noobs, who don’t even give experience or count as an HK. Sweet tooth drove up to the lvl 70 Tauren druid, the Blood elf Priest and the Undead Warcock and promptly let of several volleys of machine gun fire and his “Special” (a flaming clown head missile). The gankers quickly realised that they couldn’t handle Sweet tooth as he was the equivalent of a lvl 72 Elite Boss, thinking that Sweet tooth must be some kind of World Boss with some Phat Epix, th

"News" from "this" week ] A nice report via boing boing about how most games are now old games. There have been an equal amount of PS3 and Wii consoles sold in space. Thatguy's a Maniac, the world's second best videogame blog of all time is nearly one year old! Check out under "events" to join in with the birthday bash. Hellbound Angels finally signing off. Or only one of them or something. Which I, er guess means that we won! New Gears of War clan TFU (The Fuckest Uppest ) are now top of the UK and US leaderboards . Well done boys and girls I knew we could do it. Nintendo announce another Gamecube remake exclusively for the Wii . Man I can't wait to play another game I've already played but with spacky controls. Everyone blogs about some shooting and videogames . Not us. We've taken the higher moral ground and gone for anime , anti- anime week. JOY FOR US! And that's how, for now. Catch you next w

So after something that happened on not the world's second greatest videogames blog , this not the world's second greatest videogames blog was set up. It's called guilded lilies and it's for women gamers and men gamers who might want to talk to women gamers and it's all about women and games. There is a forum and everything but it has to be stopped . This list explains why: 1) Their logo looks like one of these (!). That's a full stop not some kind of mole 2) The last bunch of people who got together to start a forum for women gamers ended up doing this: They blew up the frickin deathstar by employing their man robots. Stop the rebels! Save the Empire, queue the music Buh, buh, buh, ber, be der de de der. Der der der der de-der de de-deh. DEH, duh, DEH, duh der-rud-der-dud der der der de-rud-der-dud der der dum der der...........

You know people who do this “(!)” for sarcasm ? Well stoppit… I have decided that (!) should be the new vagina smiley! Imagine… Barry says: Dude, Heard you and Claire went out last Tuesday. Leon says: Yeah been a long time coming, and since Ada is out of the picture. Barry says: Oh yeah, who would have though that John would come back. Leon says: How are things with you and Jill, anything happening there. Barry says: LOL! Barry says: Dude, she’s screwed everyone… Wesker, Carlos, Chief, that guy that hides in the crate... Nemesis Barry says: So how far did you get with Claire? Leon says: … Leon says: (!) Barry says: Nice! Leon says: :D Or… Jill says: :’( Claire says: Wassup? Jill says: Well me and Nemesis were... “you know” last night, Jill says: Oh I can’t say, It’s to embarrassing. Claire says: Come on you can tell me anything. Jill says: well… Jill says: he said I umm smelled bad… Jill says: …down there Claire says: OMFG! Jill says: Yeah… I really hurt me, I had been

As you may well know, the new transformers film is gonna have transforming iPods and transforming Xbox 360sWell… I saw this fucking excellent picture on Something Awful! Now my issue is what would this guy be called? Clitatron Vaginator Ultra Manless Orgasmatron (I believe this is the name of those weird-spidery-head-massaging-things, so maybe not) Stimulon Vibrator Dildonic Prime Or Hot rod? Apparently He will be able to be combine with Clit-suckerator, Butt-plug-a-tron, Lubinator and Maxiumus 240volt-plug-power-itor To create... Super Trigasmus Prime

Right so pokemon Diamond and Pearl are due out in the US in a matter of Days… and us unfortunate uk-ians wont get the game till TBC in 2007. Gameplay have it pegged at June 1st, though I doubt any of us expect it then. So my question is a UK DS will play US games, is it worth importing to fulfil my pokemon desires faster? Will there be online problems if I do that?

Well, I don't know about you but the 25th of May is in my diary, as is every other day of the year but the exception is that I've written "Tomb Raider" for this day. That's right Tomb Raider 10th Anniversary edition is coming out and it looks sexy as. Go to Gamespot to see some of the images. Yeah I know it's the same game but just look at it. Ahh! Also this artwork is in their images section. NICE DINOSAUR GAME ART! In an unprecedented turn of events I'm doing an EDGE and reviewing the game right now based on one piece of artwork and the gamespot material. 10/10 GOLD. That's right buy it people. Buy it. That'll teach SONY to abandon the greatest console of all time.

Yeah we have some links to anime and well Anime and video games usually come part and parcel with one and other. So as such I have decided to do a wee anime update as those crazy cartoons coming out of Japan are really something special at the moment. There are 4 major players on the anime scene at the moment there is: Bleach, Naruto Shipuuden, Death Note and to a lesser extent (due to fansub issues) One Piece. First up, Bleach. Bleach has had it’s up and downs over it’s lifetime It started off brilliant, then it seemed to introduce far too many characters then it slipped into the anime void known as filler. However since around January Bleach has returned to the storyline and it is better than ever, It can be forgiven for a few misdemeanours, typical anime rules have been applied, suddenly all characters can fly when fighting, and the actually had some characters use a “Limit Break” recently. Naruto: Shippuuden After 2 years of filler it finally happened Naruto did a

With the PS3 dead on arrival, the Xbox 360 dependent on me having a reliable broadband connection and the Wii having four games, three of which, are launch games, it is down to the DS to keep gaming alive in the world of Cunzy1 1. AND WHAT A WORLD! There's fossil league which I need for the DS dinosaur goodness and only £20. Then there's Bionicle heroes which promises to be as good as Metroid. Let us not forget Puzzle Quest: Somedy Blah Blah which I can see myself sinking days into. Elite Beat Agents and the new Phoenix Wright are calling my name RIGHT NOW TOO!. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl should be out sometime soon and I'm still wading through Advance Wars:Dual Strike, I've got one more round to do with Resident Evil Deadly Silence, Dr Kawishima's going to kick my ass next time I go on Brain Age and there is still a bazillion and one things left to do on Animal Crossing Wild World. :( There just isn't enough time or money to do them all and I haven't

Yeah so Jack Thompson (cunt) decided it would be a smart move to slag off rockstar, though in his recent slagging off rant he decided to rip-on the scots... Cunt. He says, "What else would one expect of Scottish sociopaths sipping their single malt Glenlivet in between brainstorming software programming sessions?". I resent this, it is a marr on everything that is scottish, and i feel that it not only hurts our nation but also hurts the good people at Glenlivet . As we all know Scottish sociopaths do not limit their drinking of Glenlivet to brainstorming software programming sessions, generally it is an all day thing, intesperced with downing a "boatle a' bucky" . After which we watch Celtic Play Rangers, beat our wives, invent the steam engine, struggle with our ineptitude at reading /writing/arithmatic, then after tossing a caber in out kilts we sit down with a luke-warm bowl of porridge. Hey JT, go fuck yourself

Yeah. Yeah we're hypocrites. Not so long ago we used to call the Xbox 360 the Gaybox 360 (back in our homophobic days but, like all my friends are gay so whatever) and we used to call the Wii the StupidNintendoNoReleasesInEurope-Machine. We still call the Wii the StupidNintendoNoReleasesInEurope-Machine but that's besides the point. Now we are widely perceived by the mass readership as Sony-haters. Well, Mr. I don't particularly like or hate Sony in the same way that I don't love or hate Rowntrees, Oxo or YKK (the zip brand. I fucking hate YKK as a first name and I hate people who call zips, zippers). Anyway,here we cum buckets for Sony and this is why: 1) Timesplitters and Timesplitters 2. (Yeah but the GameCube..NOPE) 2) GTA (Yeah but the Xbox...FUCK OFF) Here is TEN reasons why you should buy a PS3, right now: 1) Because you are a bender (robot not rear gunner). 2) To go down in history as the 5th person to buy a PS3 in the world. 3) To prop up your TV.

I miss Darkstalkers. Darkstalkers was Capcom's risqué monster beat-em-up. It was always 2D and featured some rather fun unique and crazy characters. I don't wanna go into too much detail as I have a link to a much better site explaining it all, suffice it I'm all nostalgic about it and gutted I cant play it (unless I buy a PSP and a copy of a crap rendition of it) So how about some pictures of the birds from the games: First up we have Felicia, she's half woman-half cat [Enter pussy joke here] Next up we have Morrigan, look she's part bat, part woman and has big tits, we love Morrigan here at That guys, she's special. Gotta love that look in her eye Finally we have Lilith she's similar to Morrigan but has smaller tits, and frequently is seen pictured with Morrigan in erotic pseudo-lesbian poses. She even has a catchy one lines (Note: Hope this isn't Chris's blood) Anyways check out this link here for a full and comprehensiv

Pokemon Noodles... 1. Note that those noodles depict some of the newer pokemon, therefore combining Spoilers and Food for the first time ever in videogame history! 2. Do the Noodles actually contain real pokemon, if so... would you? I mean look at the cute little faces... 3. Do Grass-Type Pokemon count as meat? 4. It has to be alright, I swear I saw Ash eating a burger in the cartoon, that has to have come from a Miltank or a Tauros. 5. Pikachu is technically an electric-rat, Rat meat? Would you? 6. What type is the brown pikachu with the clouds over it? Has to be a flying-type of some kind.

It's true readers. Check their post on Friday the 10th of March . Now check our post on the 8th of March . You know reader/Richie it's this kind of stuff that makes me sick. We work really hard here at TGAM to bring you cutting edge reviews and news about videogames and then Guardian Games Blog steal our news and our readers. Look at all their comments! The only reason we don't get comments is because TGAM is blocked by almost every filter imaginable. If you are reading this reader, then I'm afraid we are a dwindling minority. The Germans will come and find us here any day soon. UNTIL THEN- We will be emailing Guardian Games Blog every two days with the following email: Dear Guardian GamesBlog Remove all of your posts and delete your blog or we will be forced to reveal the mediocrity of your blog to the world at large by linking to you from the World's Second Greatest Videogame Blog, That Guy's a Maniac. If this were to happen the millions of people that would v

Oh readers....... Who am I kidding? Hey Richie. It looks like after all our years of desperate attention seeking someone has acknowledged our cutting edge-videogame blogging. Yes, yes it may be unfortunate that I was slightly harsh about this guy's site a bit earlier but legendary webcomic artist Tim Buckley, creator of videogame themed webcomic Ctrl-Alt-Del has given That guy's a Maniac a nod . Check it out. Genius recognises genius. Whaddya mean you can't see it. Check the second panel: For those of you who still can't see it, Lucas says "Yeah That's.. That's awful. THAT GUYS do that...". It's as clear as day. Thanks for the props Tim although I suspect you were just phising for more traffic by getting all of our readers to check you out. Sorry for rating you third greatest videogame themed webcomic of all time but Chef Brian has to go and never come back. Image © 2002-2006 Tim Buckley and Ctrl+Alt+Del Productions. All rights reserv

You may remember a while ago when we proved, scientifically, that we are the Second Greatest Videogame Blog of All Time In the World, we were beaten by a true legend, Harvind1. His blog was exceptional. Seeing that now Richie is Deadcraft again I thought we should see what ol' Harvind1 is up to .... OH SICK. HE IS TRULY THE GREATEST VIDEOGAME BLOGGER OF ALL TIME. Did you see how long his post was? Very long indeed. Also he talks about real issues ! We tried that once but it din't go very well. We were accused of being Homophobic even though one third of the TGAM team was gay once. It was just a phase but it means that we can't be homophobic. Well done Harvind1 you are an inspiration to us all. In other news: SONY of America has decided that TV compatability will no longer be available for the Europe PS3s. Instead SONY are releasing a new device called "Watch-Ray". Watch-Ray will be the biggest thing since the Walkman or the Playstation or Blu-Ray said SON

Yeah so I have been fucking about with Guitar hero 2 for ages now, and well I ' m better at it now (better as in not being beaten by so many girls) I am able to " 5 star " a few of the expert level s ongs . I have even wandered into the territory of the Bonus songs and found myself actually enjoying them (Recommend: Parasite play that on expert, if you don't complete it then end your life, it is piss easy) . Anyways bragging aside, I actually have a point here, I recently decided to go back to the first Guitar hero. And well was I ever shocked. It ' s so easy! I went through Expert mode, with the exception of Cowboys from hell and Bark at the moon , s tart to finish, no problems. Well I say, " No problems " actually there was one major problem : The hammer-ons and pull-offs don't work, Guitar hero 2 is way more forgiving in that respect . This all-in makes me look forward to the 360 version basically in the hope that it c

Yeah so my Journalism Project? Well what I was doing was applying to Edge . R ecently Kotaku announced that edge were hiring so, I though t what the hell, despite its numerous spelling mistakes, I ' ll call thatguys my portfolio. At the very least I was aiming to get a trip to their offices in Bath, that way we can all w na k over how obscure the Japanese are, whilst discussing the " Uncanny Valley " in a mild yet pretentious tone. The things I was supposed to have: 1) Excellent writing ability, with an enthusiasm for grammar, research and structure as well as for expressing your opinion and communicating your passion . " O ne word, Wnak " 2) An in-depth knowledge of videogaming, its history, and its culture . " Dude, check the site! We still play P S 1 games! And I can get 96 worlds complete in Super Mario World on the SNES in one sitting. 3) A real curiosity to fill any gaps in that in-depth knowledge. " Yeah I
