What Dice Bag is Right For You? September 16, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
We are going back to tabletop this morning. New Dungeons & Dragons players should know that it’s a good idea to have their own dice when they play the game with their friends. However, it’s not a good idea to just have loose dice, they can easily get lost or damaged. Instead, it’s a good idea to (obviously) keep your dice in a bag.
But what kind of dice bags are out there and what kind of bag is right for you? We have some examples of the different kinds of dice bags you can find in hobby shops and online. Some of these things you can find anywhere, some are pretty rare and very well may be one of a kind. Let’s take a look. Enjoy this video shot in glorious 4K.
Niantic Confirms Pokemon Go Will Not Support iOS14 at Launch (Updating) September 15, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
UPDATE2: Niantic has made an announcement that the very recently released Pokémon Go update is compatible with iOS14. That means players can update their devices when it goes live later today.
I wanted to give everyone here a big heads up. If you are a Apple owner who plays Pokémon Go, DO NOT INSTALL iOS 14 WHEN IT LAUNCHES TOMORROW!
This was a known issue since the iOS 14 beta launched back in June. Apparently Niantic hasn’t had enough time to make their app compatible with the new OS now that is is coming out of the testing phase. They said a new version of the app is coming that will support iOS 14, but it will not be ready when the OS launches. We will update this article when a compatible version of Pokémon Go is released.
UPDATE1: The App Store has very quickly released a new version of Pokémon Go. The internal app information confirms the new app is version 187, the same version Niantic said would be iOS 14 compatible. However at this time I cannot rescind this recommendation since Niantic has not yet officially commented on this event. It is VERY likely Apple fast tracked the app’s release after Niantic posted their warning on Twitter but I can’t confirm that.
If either Niantic publishes an official statement saying its “all good” or I can personally confirm Pokémon Go works on iOS 14 tomorrow I will post an “all clear” update”. However I do not yet recommend upgrading to iOS 14 yet.
UPDATE2: Beta testers of iOS14 are claiming the app works now. I personally cannot confirm compatibility as of yet and Niantic has not made an official announcement but things look promising. More updates to come.

The final Halo game developed by Bungie that has not yet come to the PC…is finally coming to the PC and now we have it’s official release date.
Halo 3: ODST has a huge spot in my heart. I LOVED this game when it was first released and played it constantly on the Xbox 360. Something about it’s story, atmosphere, characters and music resonated with me, despite the fact it was such a brief game.
Halo 3: ODST is coming September 22nd, 2020 to the PC. It is out now for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.

You can’t look at a picture of an event like the X Games and not see signs for Monster Energy, one of the most well known energy drinks in the US. Now, despite the fact that Halo: Infinite has been delayed until next year, Monster Energy has revealed they are doing a promotion with 343 Industries to offer in-game bonuses like Double XP and an exclusive weapon skin.
But what do I think of Monster Energy? Does it surprise you that I’ve never drank it before? Take a look and see what I think of it.
