Sports Interactive Limited and SEGA have announced not only the release date for Football Manager 2013, but a pretty awesome pre-order bonus for those that can’t wait to get their hands on the game. Coming out on November 2nd, players that pre-order through a participating retailer will receive a fully playable version of the game about two weeks before launch.
This means that as early as October 19th, players that have pre-ordered the game can start playing it. Don’t worry about losing those two weeks of work either, as the pre-release version will allow saves to transfer directly into the full retail game. However, this pre-release version will only be single player, so don’t be expecting to jump online or go head-to-head with anything other than the computer.
The pre-release version will remain open and available until November 5th, giving plenty of time for those that pre-ordered to get their full retail version without having them go get it right away day one. If you’re looking to get Football Manager 2013 and want some early access, be sure to pre-order it right away.
A new mission for the upcoming blockbuster, Halo 4, has been revealed today, commentary and all. Check out the video down below and listen as Frank O’ Connor plays through mission 3 of Halo 4, it is called Forerunner.
As you can see, Halo 4 is bringing back the sense of exploration many felt when they first began playing Halo: Combat Evolved. The mission they showed has Chief fighting his way through the Promethean and Covenant battle that is currently taking place which you will learn more about as you progress through the campaign and Halo 4’s other big game mode, Spartan Ops.
You can pick up Halo 4 when it releases exclusively for the Xbox 360 on November 6, 2012. Be sure to check out the video embedded below for the commentary.
Halo 4 Purple Plasma V Brand: V Energy Drinks Parent Company: Frucor Beverages Price: $4.95 (variable)
So the folks over at Frucor Beverages have recently released a tie-in Purple Plasma V Energy Drink with Halo 4 packaging. What’s cool about this is that it also includes an opportunity to win a limited edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 console and is plastered with Halo and Masterchief branding. However, this is a drink, and as such we must ask ourselves: is this a drink worth drinking?
So the first thing you’ll notice about this drink is that it is a 500mL variant of the drinking canister. So if you’re somebody who is sensitive to large doses of caffeine, you may want to share this with a friend or pace yourself with it. Us here at Capsule Computers, and I’m certain the guys over at the V headquarters, definitely don’t want you overdosing on caffeine; regardless of how good the drink it’s in it tastes.
Upon opening the drink, you’ll notice a fragrance that is somewhat unusual. It may offend some noses, but I quite enjoyed it. I would liken the smell to that of crushed grapes, or rotting grapes, something like that. It’s quite enjoyable.
By now you’re probably wondering how the drink tastes. But how do you describe a taste? I’d go with some kind of bitterness scale here and after taking a swig of the drink (and another), I’d say that it isn’t exactly bitter. It’s not super-sweet though, Blue V is much sweeter.
How else would one describe a taste? What could I liken it most to? As someone who loves grape themed drinks, this was my first go to answer, however… I’m not entirely sure I’m right here. I could also just be associating the colour purple with grape and therefore am more inclined to say it tastes grapey. So instead of liking it to something that exists, I’m going to liken it to a feeling and that feeling that I will be likening it to is the feeling of awesome. Drinking Purple Plasma V gives one a sense of awesomeness, which is very similar to the feeling of badassedness.
Kamina’s sweat, something everyone can look forward to tasting. Taste the badass. Taste it good.
Overall the Purple Plasma V is a drink that I would heartily recommend to anyone that enjoys energy drinks. The can has a great look, the drink has a fragrant smell and the taste is what I imagine the great Kamina of Tengen Toppa Gurren Laganns sweat would taste like.
